Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm hunting Mack with five
good news stories and good news for a nine hundred
pound dolphin. You see these guys in New Zealand. They're
out there fishing. They're right in their own business, and
suddenly a dolphin appears to fall out of the sky
and landed in their small boat. An eleven foot bottle

(00:25):
nosed dolphin had jumped on top of the boat. The
fisherman suddenly noticed a shadow and then it heard a
loud boom. One of them said, the dolphin decided to
jump on board and say hello, one minute, everything's fine,
And just like lightning striking, there's a big dolphin in
our boat, trashing around and breaking everything. The dolphin snapped
every single fishing rod we had in the boat. They
of course, wanted to help the dolphin. They said, we

(00:47):
looked at the dolphins still live and breathing. We thought
we got to start looking after him, figure out what
to do because he's stuck in the boat for now. Now,
this dolphin is nine hundred pounds, so it's not like, hey,
let's just lift up the dolphin. The fishermen alerted New
Zealand's conservation agency. They were directed to a boat ramp
an hour away. Workers were there to help the dolphin.
The fisherman used a hose to keep the dolphin wet

(01:07):
and protected him from the sun using a damp towel.
And this was five good news stories. So I'm happy
to tell you the dolphin got to swim away and
the fishermen have a story to tell. In Colorado, a
woman donated a kidney to the man she went to
the prom with thirty five years earlier. Now, way back,
when Sean was sixteen years old, he was the president

(01:27):
of the student council. He was voted most likely to succeed.
He invited someone to the prom and she said no,
So he went to a backup. Elena. The backup finds
this all funny and said he needed a backup. Sean
remembers her as smart, pretty, and a remarkably nice person.
Elena said, I was happy to go to a prom.
What girl wouldn't go. Thirty five years later, their lives

(01:49):
intertwined again. You see, her friend Julie is married to
one of his friends. Word got around. Remember that guy
he went to the one thirty five years ago. He's
on dialysis he needs a new kidney. Even though they
were a match on prom night, they weren't a match
for organs. So they both started the paired exchange process
where Hurricandney would go to someone in need and he
would receive another achidney from somebody who was compatible. Smart

(02:11):
process there and again this is five good news stories.
Everything turned out okay. Eagle watchers were excited. There was
a birdcam. Everybody was watching the birdcam, and two new
eagles were born at the Big Bear Lake Forest in California.
The nest is atop a one hundred and forty five
foot tree. That's a big tree. Two bald eagles known

(02:33):
as Jackie in Shadow had two eglets. Friends of the
Big Bear Lake Forest say more than seventy thousand people
were watching when the second hatchling arrived. Scientists are getting
it done. A group of doctors just became the first
in the world's cure blindness in four children with a
rare genetic condition. Doctors in London injected healthy copies of
the impacted gene into the eyes of four children between

(02:56):
the ages of one and two during a one hour surgery.
Those children can now see shapes, find toys, and recognize
their parents' faces and even read and write. That is amazing.
And one more science story. Scientists also say they saw
a mouse moving and unconscious mouse's tongue kind of like
CPR Lijang is at the University of Southern California and

(03:18):
introduced cage mice to a fellow mouse who was under
anesthesia and watched as the mouse spent nearly six seven
minutes trying to help the sedated mouse. All right, So
then they tried it again. They inserted non toxic plastic
balls into sedated mice and then in eighty percent of
the encounters, another mouse would remove the ball. Apparently, mice

(03:41):
are pretty cool. Those are five good news stories for today.
You have a good one.
