Expect to be moved by the heartwarming tale of Jack and his lost Lego man, and prepare to laugh at a quirky story of a rescue dog responding only to Spanish commands. Your cup of coffee will never look the same after we reveal how your used coffee grounds might be the secret ingredient to stronger concrete, a potential solution to the dual challenges of environmental waste and natural resource depletion.
We'll also delve into the musical world, discussing how pop sensation Taylor Swift used her platform to achieve a record-breaking surge in new voter registrations.
We promise you'll walk away enlightened, entertained, and maybe even inspired to take your coffee grounds to the next construction site or start learning Spanish with your dog.

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.759
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Good news,
2
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.400
Jack, the ten year old,
we found your lego man. Good
3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:18.600
job that you created a missing person
poster for it. Jack was devastated after
4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.760
he lost his lego man because it
represents himself and the lego man is also
5
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.079
named Jack. Jack's mom said,
he came to me very upset that he
6
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.640
had lost the lego Man and thought
it must have fallen out of his bag,
7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.880
and after school we retraced our steps
home, but no luck. Then
8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.840
Jack came up with the idea of
a poster. It was one of those
9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.640
old style lost posters. It said, has anyone seen this lego man?
10
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.079
He is very special to me.
Jack drew a drawing of the figure and
11
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:50.560
pointed out the visual features light brown
quiff with matching eyebrows. A quiff I
12
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.200
have learned is a hairstyle Hawaiian shirt
blue with palm trees and an orange stripe
13
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.520
on the bottom, dark green pants. Luckily, they found Jack's lego Man
14
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.200
in the park where he plays.
A school girl found it and as a
15
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.640
thank you, they gave her a
box of chocolates. Good news if you've
16
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.480
got a bunch of extra coffee grounds
lying around. You're like, I don't
17
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.159
know what to do with this.
Well, we can make concrete stronger.
18
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.519
Every year, eleven million tons of
spent coffee is generated, and like everything
19
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.519
else, it creates an environmental challenge
because the coffee grounds emit greenhouse gases.
20
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.920
Uh really now. On the other
hand, concrete used in construction around the
21
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.719
world requires fifty billion tons of natural
sand every year, an expert said.
22
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.000
The ongoing extraction of natural sand around
the world, typically taken from riverbeds and
23
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.120
banks, to meet the rapidly growing
demands of the construction industry, has had
24
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.959
a big impact on the environment.
Long story short. You take the stuff,
25
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.959
you heat it in the absence of
oxygen at three hundred and fifty degrees
26
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.439
celsius. Something something science, concrete, Okay, good news. Play video
27
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.799
games. That's what I usually do
on Usually Saturday night is video game night.
28
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.760
A recent survey of two thousand American
gamers revealed that video games are good
29
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.039
for you. Sixty eight percent credit
games for enhancing relaxation. I'll agree.
30
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.960
Sixty seven percent say they improve problem
solving skills. Okay, I guess more
31
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.680
than six and ten believe they also
sharpen critical thinking. Taylor Swift been in
32
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.719
the news a lot lately. By
the way, if you want to keep

35
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.080
A Taylor Swift Instagram post drove record
breaking web traffic to vote dot org.
36
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.199
It helped the site register more than
thirty five thousand new voters. The CEO
37
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.599
of vote dot org said after Taylor's
post the site was averaging thirteen thousand users
38
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.719
every thirty minutes, a number the
Taylor Swift would be proud of. Taylor
39
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.759
posted on Instagram. I've been so
lucky to see so many of you guys
40
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.240
at my US shows recently. I've
heard you raise your voices and I know
41
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.840
how powerful they are. Make sure
you're ready to use them in our elections
42
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.439
this year. Hey, good news, your rescue dog isn't blowing you off.
43
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.759
Your rescue dog speaks Spanish. A
woman told the story on Reddit and
44
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.400
said the dog is at rescue from
Houston that had been relocated from Minnesota.
45
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.479
I figured out he only understands Spanish
this morning, after I looked up how
46
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.400
to say come here on Google Translate. He was down the hall from the
47
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.560
living room. I said vennicky in
a regular speaking voice, and boom,
48
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.360
he was at my feet. I
was elated, but now I need to
49
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.280
learn the slang for go outside,
sit, stay, and go potty.
50
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.400
She's trying to teach the two year
old dog a second language. I say
51
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.400
the Spanish word and then the English
word. I think he's still got lots
52
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.879
of tricks up to sleeve. One
user said, you'll have to sign him
