The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Thanks to
2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.960
Richard who's a listener to the podcast
and put this one under my nose.
3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.120
Good news if you're a bear who
likes Krispy Kreme donuts. Two bears on
4
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:23.120
an Alaska military base rated a Krispy
Kreme donut van that was stopped outside a
5
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.879
convenience store. The driver usually leaves
his doors open. He oh, he
6
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.079
won't be doing that anymore when he
stops at the store, but this time
7
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.719
some polar bears climbed inside and they
stayed for about twenty minutes. The bears
8
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.600
chumped on donut holes and other pastries, ignoring the banging on the side of
9
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.280
the van that was aimed at showing
them away. I could hang out with
10
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.799
these bears. Do they like iced
coffee? They sound cool, The manager
11
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.600
at the store said, I was
beating on the van and the bears aren't
12
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.000
moving. I could hear them breaking
over the packages and everything. They don't
13
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.240
even care. Base security was called
and sounded sirens meant to scare away the
14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.600
bears. The bears didn't care.
Bear. The bears eventually came out and
15
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.200
wandered in front of the store and
gas station forbid, and then headed into
16
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.120
the woods where I bet they had
a great nap. Captain Lexi Smith,
17
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.040
who's a spokesperson of the military base, said, we urged the public to
18
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.719
use caution to ensure you're protecting our
wildlife and yourselves. Wildlife maybe our neighbor,
19
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.560
but they should not be attracted to
our human food sources, which apparently
20
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.079
are donuts. A twenty three year
old woman in Akron, Ohio, was
21
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.159
moved to tears after meeting the family
of someone who saved her life. Katherine
22
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:32.319
is a heart transplant recipient and said
it was just absolutely amazing and breathtaking,
23
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:37.959
emotional, but also gratifying. Catherine
had undergone twenty surgeries and procedures on her
24
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.120
heart before even reaching age twenty.
When she suffered heart failure while still in
25
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.159
college, or doctors told her transplant
that was when I knew I was either
26
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.040
leaving the hospital with a heart or
leaving the hospital out the back door.
27
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.599
After thirty five days, she found
that a heart had become available. Catherine
28
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.719
said, we knew that their family
were grieving something immense, a family that
29
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.400
was losing not only maybe a child. That we came to find out but
30
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.560
a loved one. They've lost them
down. While they're giving life, you're
31
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.040
losing that piece of them. The
heart had belonged to a thirty nine year
32
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.719
old mother of two, Desiree,
who had died suddenly of natural causes.
33
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.439
Her parents said. Desiree was adamant
about being a donor. I'm a donor.
34
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.280
You should be a donor, desire
a stepmother said. When she went
35
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.479
to get her driver's license, I
was with her and she said, I
36
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.759
want to be a donor. She
goes, I gotta be a donor.
37
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.840
I want to be a donor because
if I don't do anything good on earth,
38
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.439
I know I will afterwards, and
by golly, she did. Catherine
39
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.719
is back at work and even ran
a five k Lega was now selling Braille
40
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.280
bricks that used the bumps on their
iconic bricks to teach the Braill alphabet,
41
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.800
and they're not just for blind people. Alongside the Braille bumps on each brick
42
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.879
are printed the letters and numbers so
that everyone could play while learning a new
43
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.479
language. That's a great idea.
The new play with Brail set makes learning
44
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.680
Braill more fun and is accessible to
everyone. Martin Abel Williamson is the president
45
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.080
of the World Blind Union and said
for blind and partially sighted children and adults
46
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.719
for that matter, makes all the
difference if they could share their journey of
47
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.919
learning Braille with the people they love
the most. It's getting a little late
48
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.199
in this season, but if you
need help with your lawn. Brian Schwartz
49
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.479
had an idea three years ago.
He had just been laid off from work
50
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.199
and want to do something good for
others. He began mowing lawns for those
51
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.599
who weren't able to people like senior
citizens, veterans, the disabled Natgeist recording
52
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.800
podcast. They gotta like, put
the mic down on co outside and cut
53
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.199
your own lawn, Johnny Mack.
Schwartz's I Want to Mow your Lawn effort
54
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.159
became a movement. He now oversees
around five hundred volunteers in forty six states.
55
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.439
Dude, you gave yourself a job. The group has spruced up two
56
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:30.560
thousand yards nationwide. Volunteer Steve Edgeler
said they're offering gifts and money, but
57
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.599
no, it's voluntary. That's why
we do it, and people can't get
58
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.919
over that fact. Sometimes the effort
is now going international. People are mowing
59
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.120
lawns in Canada, Australia and the
UK and okay, look, everybody,
60
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.719
we know the Golden Retrievers on the
roof. We know you don't have to
61
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.800
tell us. A woman has been
forced to put up a sign explaining why
62
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.840
her dog is on the roof.
Huckleberry lives in Austin, Texas. He
63
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.360
likes hanging out on the roof.
Neighbors were constantly knocking on the door to
64
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.120
let the owner know, Hey,
huckle Berry's on your roof. But with
65
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.759
every knock the owner don't have to
spend ten minutes explain no, no,
66
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.919
He goes up there and he's not
in danger and he likes it. So
67
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.840
she had install a sign explaining,
huckle Berry is living up to his name
68
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.240
and learned how to jump on our
roof from the backyard. We never leave
69
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.040
him in the backyard without someone being
at home, and he's not going to
70
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.560
jump off unless you entice him with
a food or bass. Don't do that.
71
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.240
That's your five good news stories for
today. Hey do we favor If
72
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.759
you enjoy the program, tell somebody
about it. Be like, hey,
73
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.519
you need five quick stories. There's
this guy. He tells ridiculous stories about
74
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.680
dogs, sitting on roofs and Clydesdale's
having their tails amputated and things like that.
