Listen in as we share the adventurous tale of Sally, the sea lion who took advantage of heavy rainfall to explore Central Park, before returning safely to her pool.
We also touch on an exciting breakthrough in dental science - a drug that could potentially regrow adult teeth!
Our episode further covers the story of a town who, faced with the retirement of their only doctor, took to the internet to find a replacement, leading to the heartening return of a local medical professional.
We explore the extraordinary case of a Florida family who had three daughters, each born on the same date - September 3rd, across a span of four years.
Next, we turn our attention to the charming story of a Southern Californian town that has elected three generations of golden retrievers as mayors....and how the current mayor keeps eatng his tie.
And yes I did use the wrong music, thanks for noticing!

00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.879
The Shark Deck. Hi, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories.
2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:10.039
New York City got a ton of
rain last Friday, and a female sea
3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:14.400
lion named Sally escaped from the Central
Park Zoo. If you think about it,
4
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.679
not that easy for a sea lion
to escape from the zoo. There
5
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.519
was so much water that the sea
lion was able to get out now.
6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:25.760
Workers monitored Sally's movements as she explored
Central Park a little bit and then just
7
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.280
headed back to join the other sea
lions in the pool. By three o'clock,
8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.399
the water at the zoo had receded
and all the animals were back where
9
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.280
they belonged. The guy who oversees
the zoo says no staff members were in
10
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.000
danger during the storm, and the
city's four zoos were closed so employees could
11
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.600
focus on keeping the animals safe.
Good news if you've lost your teeth.
12
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.000
There's evidence that a drug is able
to regrow adult teeth in mice. Well,
13
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.719
good news if you're a mouse with
missing teeth. They're going to start
14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.200
testing this in humans. It's a
drug that targets a protein which suppresses the
15
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.200
growth of new teeth from our quote
unquote teeth buds in Tony. They tested
16
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.000
that ferrets, who like humans,
have tooth buds, baby teeth, and
17
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.719
permanent teeth. The ferrets were able
to regrow their teeth when't given the drug.
18
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.879
A dental scientist named Takahashi. I
don't know if Takahashi has either a
19
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.319
first name or a surname, but
Takahashi said the idea of growing new teeth
20
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.560
is every dad to stream. I've
been working on this since I was a
21
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.920
graduate student. I was confident I'd
be able to make it happen. Good
22
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.439
news for town. They were out
of luck. Their doctor retired. They
23
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.760
couldn't find a replacement, so they
went to the internet, as one does.
24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.519
Five hundred residents of a town made
a video. It went viral,
25
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.959
and now the local medical practice has
hired doctor Bethan Woodfield. He's originally from
26
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.840
the town. He saw the video
when he applied. He said, it's
27
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.280
a lovely place to work, and
I enjoy being here. The sense of
28
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.159
community is amazing. Everyone I feel
goes above and beyond for patient care.
29
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.680
Good news for a couple in Florida. They're not going to forget the birthdays
30
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.799
of their children. I mean not
that one does that. Anyway, but
31
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.599
all their children were born on September
third. They just had a baby girl
32
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.040
on September third of this year.
Dad Jeremy said, our mouths drop.
33
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.680
We were like, it's happening all
over again. We were at the hospital.
34
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.120
The doctors kept telling us they've never
heard of a case like this ever
35
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:12.280
before. They have had three daughters
on September third across the span of four
36
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.560
years. No, they're not triplets. Three children in four years. Cindy,
37
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.520
who works at the hospital, said, we celebrated the extraordinary when our
38
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.840
team delivered the Turner family's third child
and four years with all three children sharing
39
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.840
the same birthday. Mom said,
people have asked me if I had c
40
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.039
sections. Nope. All the girls
were natural birds and unplanned. Baby Jessica
41
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.560
was due on September seventh, but
Mom said she came early. It was
42
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.639
close to midnight, so Jessica almost
didn't make it on Sime. She was
43
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.159
born at eleven fifteen pm. But
that's not the record. According to the
44
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.639
Guinness Book of World Records, there's
a family in Pakistan they all share August
45
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:54.000
first as their birthday and how many
of them are there? Nine? Hey,
46
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.520
good news if you don't know who
to vote for. Why don't you
47
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.759
just vote for a golden retriever.
There's a town in southern California that has
48
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.719
seen three generations of Golden retrievers serve
as the mayor. I think that's a
49
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.840
great idea. The current mayor is
Max the Third, full name Maximus Mighty
50
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:14.039
Dog Mueller the Third. This will
start to when Phyllis Muller and her husband
51
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.960
moved to Idlewild, California, in
twenty eleven. It's an unincorporated town,
52
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.680
so it had no mayor or elected
officials. Soon after they arrived, the
53
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.360
town's animal rescue center Animal Rescue Friends
announced they'd be holding an election. That
54
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.800
first election drew fourteen dogs and two
cats. Well, you think the big
55
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.520
famous political parties don't get along and
mention the cat people and the dog people
56
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.199
trying to come up with a bill
together. Never happened. Max the First
57
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.520
won that election by a lancelide.
It originally was just a lighthearted fundraiser,
58
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.159
but Muller and her husband approached the
Dog's tenure in office with a serious commitment
59
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.039
to doing some good. She told
The Washington Post, this is an opportunity
60
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.759
to be the real mayor of idalwhild
to do the real job, but without
61
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.080
politics. He loves everybody unconditionally.
It's nonpartisan. It's non political. I'm
62
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.159
going with it. Unfortunately, Max
passed away in twenty thirteen, Max the
63
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.199
Second took over. Max the Second
also had health issues. They had a
64
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.680
final successor, which is Mayor Max
the Third. You know you complain about
65
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.039
some of these cities where the mayor
is the son of the famous mayor from
66
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.360
thirty years ago. That's what's going
on with the dogs. All politics is
67
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.639
the same. They also can't get
Mayor Max the Third to dress properly.
68
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.040
They're trying to have them wear a
tie as a mayor should, and apparently
69
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:26.199
Max the Third eight not one,
not two, but three ties just during
70
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.040
his first month in office alone.
That's for five good news stories for today.
