00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:10,599
The Shark Deck Johnny Mack with five
good News stories. There's this guy in

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,480
the UK. He's fed up with
the potholes, so he has started filling

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,320
the potholes with noodles. I'm not
sure that's the best plan, but let's

4
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:22,640
check get out. Mark Morrell,
known on social media as Mister Pothole,

5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,480
He's teamed up with noodle brand pot
Noodles to urge the government to fix the

6
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:32,359
potholes. Originally, he plants,
put rubber ducks in potholes and even feed

7
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:36,280
the potholes cake on their birthdays.
None of that worked out, so he

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,600
teamed up with pot Noodles. He
told Metro nothing fills a hole like a

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,880
pot noodle. Who better to team
up with to highlight the ridiculous state of

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,479
the UK's roads. What happens when
you drive over a pothole filled with noodles?

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,439
I guess it's better than just a
pothole. I guess. I remember

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,479
you'd be back in school and you'd
like slip up and call your teacher mom

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,759
or dad. Apparently that happens all
the time. There's a teacher's for him

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,000
on TikTok, and one teacher said
today I was called the name I've never

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,480
ever been called before, and this
is how I know I'm teaching a different

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:11,799
generation. A student today accidentally called
me Alexa. An adventurer has gone viral

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,120
after climbing a mountain in a suit
just to prove he could do it.

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Nobutaka Sada is forty nine. He
climbed Malaysia's tallest peak. He wore a

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,599
custom made suit and had a messenger
bag with him and promoted his suit line.

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,319
All right, I'll play, mister
Sada, he said. We climbed

21
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,159
an altitude difference of twenty three hundred
meters in tropical humidity and rain. But

22
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:34,560
these custom made suits guesses up to
the level of being able to attend a

23
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:38,879
business meeting. Congratulations to Brian Winslow. He's eighty six and he's broken the

24
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,079
world weightlifting record. He's the world's
strongest granddad. Apparently he's broken both the

25
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,159
British and the world record for deadlifting
in his age group. He lifted one

26
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:51,760
hundred and sixty five pounds on his
first attempt. He then smashed his own

27
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:55,439
record and lifted one hundred and seventy
one pounds on a second left. Then

28
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,040
he went for another record tried to
lift one hundred and seventy two pounds,

29
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:07,400
couldn't hold on it. I am

Oh those naughty bulldogs Lilo and Stitch,

43
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,800
they lived together they wear pants.
Why do they wear pants? Johnny Mack?

44
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,680
Because their owners didn't want them to
have any young bulldogs. Well,

45
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,960
love finds a way. They took
Lilo to the vet and guess what,

46
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,240
Lilo's having some puppies, which is
crazy because Lilo had been wearing protective season

47
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,120
pants, which is differently crazy.
The dog underwear is meant to stop a

48
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:42,759
dog in heat from staining anywhere with
blood. Right, that makes sense,

49
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:45,280
and it's supposed to help prevent it. Well, it doesn't make sense,

50
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,159
and it's supposed to help prevent any
frisky mutts from you know, oo la

51
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,120
la. But burently, Lilo and
Stitch got a ten minute encounter. They

52
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,919
were allowed out in the garden at
the same time, and Stitch took his

53
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,240
chance, hopped on top, and
like I said, love finds a way.

54
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,680
One of their humans said they were
out there for about ten minutes.

55
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:05,520
My daughter was horrified. When she
realized what was going on, she shouted

56
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:09,439
for us and we both went flying
downstairs and out of the garden. Lilo

57
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,199
had her pants on and they weren't
locked, so we thought it'd be a

58
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,039
narrow escape. But when the vets
told us she was pregnant. We were

59
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,720
absolutely shocked. Their humans shared the
news on their social media page with a

60
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:27,279
hilarious pregnancy photoshoot. Stitch is described
as looking very pleased with himself. And

61
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,079
I know the podcast is called five
Good News Stories, but if you're a

62
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,600
dog named Stitch, I've got one
piece of bad news for you. Your

63
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:36,279
schedule to go to the vet.
