00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.039
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories.
2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.839
Barbie's at it again. They've released
a new series of trail blazing women athletes,
3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.800
this in anticipation of the twenty twenty
four Olympics. The new slogan team
4
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:25.120
Barbie you Can Be Anything. Among
of the new Barbies Venus Williams, the
5
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.600
very famous American Tannis player, one
of the most decorated Olympic athletes. Christine
6
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.200
Sinclair is a Canadian soccer player,
hailed as soccer's greatest international scorer one hundred
7
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.520
and ninety goals to her name.
Mary Fler, also a soccer player,
8
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.240
became the team's youngest player to be
selected for the FIFA World Cup at sixteen.
9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.119
Estelle Mostly, a French boxer,
crowned as an Olympic champion in twenty
10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.560
sixteen. Alexa Moreno, a gymnast
who was Mexico's first female world medalist in
11
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.640
the sport. Rebecca Andron Day,
a Brazilian Olympic gold and silver medallist,
12
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:03.399
Susanna Rodriguez, a Spanish paratriathlon star, Italian swimmer Frederica Pellegrini who was swaboda
13
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.719
the Polish track and field of Springer, who's a decorated championship medalist and holds
14
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.560
the record of seven point zero one
seconds in the sixty meter race. Venus
15
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.200
Williams said, throughout my career,
I've always been driven by the ideas of
16
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.079
shattering glass ceilings and staying true to
myself and Barbie's mission. Couldn't resonate more
17
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.439
deeply with that ethos. Good news
for the blackfooted ferris. You guys are
18
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.280
endangered, which is better than what
was going on in nineteen seventy nine when
19
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.280
we thought you guys were extinct.
Blackfooted ferrets are North America's only native ferret
20
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.680
species. Thought to be extinct in
seventy nine, they were rediscovered in Wyoming
21
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.079
in nineteen eighty one. The conservation
has got involved, between captive breeding,
22
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.120
wildlife reintroductions, habitat restoration, and
even genetic cloning. They're seeing a comeback.
23
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.000
This story driven by a new litter
born at the Smithsonians National Zoo and
24
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.159
Conservation Biology Institute, and if you
go to their website you can look at
25
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.040
the ferrets on a webcam. Samantha
Salway didn't let battling breast cancer get her
26
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:04.319
down. She ran and hundreds of
miles, including multiple marathons. She participated
27
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.240
in four races during her pregnancy,
she gave birth and ran in another three
28
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.199
races while being treated for cancer.
She tells USA Today. Mentally, it
29
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.599
was hard to constantly see yourself improve
then be pushed back down for something that
30
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.240
wasn't in your control. But in
my mind it was little steps and big
31
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.520
goals. If you could take the
little steps to get you to that big
32
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.000
goal, you'll eventually get there.
Back in twenty twenty three, she noticed
33
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.080
her left breast was sore. She
was pregnant with her third child. She
34
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.240
thought, you know, maybe that
was related, maybe milk was coming in
35
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.520
early or something. She started receiving
chemo on Fridays, which allowed her to
36
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.439
run Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
By Tuesday, I'd tell myself, hey,
37
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.759
you don't have to run, but
if you get up and go outside,
38
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.840
you'll feel better. She'd start off
slow and then start walking and then
39
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.280
start running, and you know,
felt better. People ask her how she
40
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.680
did it, and she says,
just set those little goals. Know that
41
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.319
those little goals will add up.
All right, A doctor is telling us
42
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.120
we need to wash our belly buttons
every day. I'm not gonna throw you
43
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.400
under the bus. I might have
missed a day this week. I'm not
44
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.120
sure, or it's all. Belly
buttons, if not clean properly, can
45
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.680
cause an unpleasant stench. Doctor Yodav
went on TikTok to urge people to wash
46
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.280
their belly buttons. She captured her
video. Does shut belly buttons smell?
47
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.879
Well? You could have a naval
stone. You want to prevent this,
48
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.599
Please wash your belly buttons. Web
MD tells us a naval stone is a
49
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.759
condition where substances like seabumskin oil,
hair, dead skin cells, and dirt
50
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.800
can accumulate and form a hardball.
The stone is usually a dark color and
51
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.520
firm to the touch. I'm being
serious here as I'm recording. All I
52
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.759
want to do now is check on
my belly button. I did. It
53
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.719
seems pretty clean. They may resemble
a large blackhead. In the opening of
54
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.599
the navel, Doctor Udov tells us
if your belly button smells, you need
55
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.680
to clean it with a cue tip
or with soap or water every day in
56
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:55.000
the shower. Nice job by Blake. He restored his grandfather's cherished nineteen fifty
57
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.680
four pickup truck. As a teenager, Richard had bought the International Harvester for
58
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:06.560
fifty dollars and a hog. I
don't have more details. I'm curious.
59
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:11.719
I can imagine, I can speculate, But hey, nice truck. Is
60
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.360
it for sale? Sure you got
any money? I got fifty bucks?
61
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.800
Will you throw in the hog?
Sure? The truck, nicknamed Canniball,
62
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.399
stayed on the property for more than
forty five years. When Blake was a
63
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.800
kid, he thought of Canniball as
his truck, even though most of the
64
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.319
time it was sitting there broken.
When he grew up, he took the
65
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.680
truck in for new breaks. However, he eventually decided to do a full
66
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.639
restoration. With the help of C
and J's Classic and muscle cars, they
67
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.920
brought the truck back to working order. Nice job, and those are your
68
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.279
five good news stories for today.
