0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Police are on the lookout for a man now on the subway. Seems he gave his shoe to someone else. They were all at the King's Cross station. A train was approaching and a blind man tripped. An onlooker shared on Reddit. A few of us on the train helped the guy find a seat. Once the man sat down, he realized he had a missing shoe. It slipped between the platform and the train before the train left the platform. We all try to tell the train driver, but I'm guessing a miscommunication occurred and the train left the platform. The blind man got a bit panicked as he only had one shoe. This absolute hero, without hesitation, took off his own shoe and gave it to the blind man. It was a cold day and he got out at Liverpool Street to go and find himself a new pair of shoes. British social media is on the hunt for the man who gave up a shoe. The onlooker said it was such an act of kindness. It really showed that people are good and mainly we try to look after one another. I've only known London to be a kind place. Just to think of it and shivers down my spine. Good news if you work out.

1:07 Working out amplifies neuron growth and may aid in nerve repair. Yeah, as you know, exercise is good for muscles and bones and stuff, but there are also benefits for the brain. According to MIT researchers, they found that exercise can significantly boost neuron growth by causing muscles to relax myokines. Hope I'm pronouncing that right. Those are biochemical signals that enhance neural development. The study suggests that targeted muscle stimulation could aid nerve repair and restore mobility in neurodegenerative diseases. So start working out a little bit more. You can listen to the show get a good five minute workout. In two half sisters had never met each other. They took a DNA test and found they had both given their children the other's name. Jessica's mother had been adopted. She was always curious about her family. She ordered a DNA test from ancestry dot com. Meanwhile, Nicole had already done a DNA test and was checking her profile one day and was shocked to find she had any new genetic match.

2:01 She contacted the woman who Ancestry said was her half sister. They decided to meet up. It turned out Nicole had named her daughter Jessica, Jessica had named her son Nicholas. Nicole said, I personally feel that the universe brought us together now for a reason, but there was a plan all along. For Jessica, I was a double surprise. Not only did she have a sister, but the person she had called dad all her life was not her biological father. She explained, I was in shock at first after I read the message from Nicole, I went through so many emotions in about ten minutes. I felt the second grief for my father, who had already passed away, and then a sense of joy for these newfound family members. Jessica traveled from her home in Florida to stay with Nicole and Michigan and said, we so easily fit together, could just talk for ages with each other. I immediately felt like she was a mini me. There's still a mystery as to what happened fifty years ago. Jessica's parents died years before the two sisters met. Nichole's dad, who's also Jessica's biological father passed away twenty years ago. Nicole said, I grew up with our father in the home, but Jessica grew up not knowing him at all, with a different father. We've both lost all her parents, so there's unfortunately no one left to ask what happened. Congratulations to Sophia.

3:09 She just became the youngest person who passed the California State Bar Exam seventeen years and eight months old. Now, if this story sounds familiar, yeah, you may recall about a year ago, the youngest man to pass the California Bar Exam was seventeen years at eleven months of age. That's her brother. State Bar Executive Director Leah Wilson said, the State Bar of California proudly congratulates Sophia Park on passing the California Bar Exam at just seventeen years old. This remarkable achievement follows her brother Peter's similar success last year, further highlighting their extraordinary dedication and talent. Shouldn't this be a show onli like Disney Plus like two teenage siblings or lawyers? That could be a show, right, you'd watch?

3:49 Sofia has to wait until she turns eighteen to be sworn in. She plans to join the DA's office as a prosecutor, just like her brother. Oh yeah, this has to be a show, right the bad guys in there. You're like, who's this teenage girl prosecutor? And then like she's like really good and you get sent to jail for twenty five years. You'd watch we got to make this show. Prowd Dad says it's the result of four years of consistent, dedicated work. It didn't happen overnight. There are two other siblings. One is older. I don't know anything about the older sibling, and then there's younger Sarah, who yep, is attending law school. All right, good luck explaining your boss why you were late. You're there in Arizona and there's an accident up ahead. A truck overturned and spilled thousands of cans of white claw onto the road.

4:33 They were empty cans. They were on their way to the recycling bind. Social media showed thousands of empty cans littering the freeway. This is five good news stories. So you know, the driver's okay, I'm not gonna like sandbag you with some horrible story at the end of the podcast, but yeah, I was on my way to work Boston. There was white claw all over the road. Uh huh, right, And those are five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. And if you'd like the program without commercial interruption, think in the show notes. That'll explain to you how that works. You have an awesome day.
