1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:10,759 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. There's a 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,119 six month old puppy that's causing a problem for his new owners because he will 3 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,239 only respond to commands given in a Northern Irish accent, won't listen to English 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,519 commands. Jay and Meghan got their dog Patty. Patty had spent the first 5 00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:29,480 few months of his life in Northern Ireland. Patty wouldn't listen to any of 6 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,479 the commands, and it didn't take long for Jay to realize what the problem 7 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,200 was. He discovered he needed to switch up his accent and put on a 8 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,200 fake Northern Irish one in order for Patty to talk to understand him. Megan 9 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,719 said, my parents blotted from me. We were waiting for his vaccines to 10 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,359 kick in before he brought him over. So he was brought up in a 11 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:47,479 Northern Irish houseweld an accent. They taught him all the base of commands. 12 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,600 Jay doesn't have that accent, and Patty wasn't listening to Jay couldn't work it 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,719 out. He's very confused. I understood his confusion. He wasn't responding, 14 00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:57,719 and Jay suddenly wondered if it was because of the accent. He tried it, 15 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:00,439 and it was hilarious when we realized we both knew wet ourselves. Patty 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,959 struggles with all the commands unless it's done in a Northern Irish accent. He 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,920 won't come in from the garden list, Jay says, come in now in 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:14,079 the accent. Hey, there was nothing more aggravating than realizing you've accidentally left 19 00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:17,480 a tissue and your pants when you put clothes on the washing machine. Who 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,680 wrote this article? My wife. She wants to kill me every time I 21 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,439 do this, which is I don't know, twice a week. Here's the 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,680 solution. Good news, right, apparently, just put the pants in the 23 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:29,519 tumble dryer. All right, what's the issue? Let's just do that. 24 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,920 One person wrote, if you have a tumble dryer, this should do the 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,319 trick. Another said, shake and tumble dry always works for me. A 26 00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:38,760 third I find the tumble dryer is the best way. It only needs five 27 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,760 minutes, works every time. Another said, my husband is the culprit in 28 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:48,079 our house. Drives me mad. I wonder if that was my wife. 29 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,239 The first cheetah cubs have been born in India, seventy years after they were 30 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,680 declared extinct. India has been trying to reintroduce cheetah in another country for decades. 31 00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:00,400 They just had their first successful birth of four cubs in seventy years. 32 00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:05,239 Last year, to aid its speecies recovery efforts, India brought eight cheetahs into 33 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,879 the country from Namibia. One of the cheetahs from that group gave birth to 34 00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:14,879 the new cubs, who are reportedly healthy. Awesome eighteen's custom shoes or apparently 35 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,840 the biggest under armour ever made. Eric He's fourteen years old, but his 36 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,199 feet size twenty two. He's six foot ten. He's had hard time funding 37 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:27,280 shoes he can fit into. Underarmour reached out. When I'll offered to help, 38 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,520 Eric jumped up the chants. Robert Kropp is the senior director of footwear 39 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,520 Development. He met with the family to take a three D rendering of Eric's 40 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,080 feet. They used it to make a shoe built from the ground up. 41 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,919 I am Patty Callahan, Henry, I am Mary kay Andrews, I'm Kristin 42 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,639 Harmel, and I'm Kristy Woodson Harvey.

A popular ticktoker has shared his cheese burger hack, 56 00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,560 which he says it makes the iconic meal out of this world. Are you 57 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:09,319 ready? He says, Order a double cheeseburger with steams, buns and a 58 00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:14,360 hash brown. Take off the top bun, place the hash brown on top 59 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,040 of the remaining ingredients. On top of that sweet and sour sauce. He 60 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,160 says that combination's out of this world. He said, this is my go 61 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,040 too, This is amazing, This is my mac as hack. One person 62 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,639 commented, rooted with the sweeten sour. A second user pointed out a common 63 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,160 problem. Sounds good, bro, but we can order order hash browns for 64 00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,040 breakfast until eleven in the UK, and we can't order burgers until after eleven. 65 00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:40,839 Obviously you go at ten fifty nine, you bang this out. Some 66 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:44,839 other people have their own ideas. One said, sipping the coke with the 67 00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:48,120 mouth still full of burgers and fries. Yeah. No. One else said 68 00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:54,079 double sausage McMuffin, extra cheese and a hash brown in between. Another suggested 69 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,279 the double sausage McMuffin, extra cheese and a hash brown in between. Or 70 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,120 you could just be like me and be like to cheeseburger mule and then I 71 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,360 should trive away.
