Today, we have an interesting story about a Christmas-themed burger that has caused quite a stir. The Butcher's Tap and Grill in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, has introduced a unique burger that combines the flavors of turkey, chicken, and duck. Topped with gravy and cheese, this burger has sparked controversy not only because of its price but also because of the unconventional brown sauce that accompanies it. --- **The Festive 3 Bird Burger** The chef behind this burger is Tom Carriage, a renowned culinary expert with a Michelin star. On his Instagram, he announced the arrival of the "festive 3 Bird Burger." This burger consists of a delicious patty made from chicken, turkey, and duck. It is then wrapped in bacon, topped with Wensleydale cheese, honey roasted parsnip, cream sprouts, and brown sauce. Served with a jug of gravy, it promises to be a real treat for food enthusiasts. However, not everyone is thrilled about the combination of parsnips and Brussels sprouts inside the burger, while others believe that the gravy might make it messy to eat. --
**Kinder: The Baby Naming App** In other news, if you're struggling to find the perfect name for your baby, there's an app that can help. Jessica, a mom-to-be, discovered an app called Kinder, which works similarly to Tinder. Users swipe left on names they don't like and right on names they do. When both partners swipe right on the same name, it's a match. Jessica used this app and eventually chose the name Daisy for her daughter. She believes it will be a great story to tell Daisy when she is older, and recommends the app to anyone in search of unique baby names.
**White Rhinos Rewilded in Africa** For those concerned about wildlife conservation, here's some good news. A non-profit organization called African Parks, along with support from the South African government, is undertaking a project to rewild white rhinos across Africa. These rhinos, previously bred in captivity due to financial challenges, will be released back into the wild over the next 10 years. This initiative aims to contribute to biodiversity and ecosystem health, combatting the threats of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.
**Socks for Seniors** Ellie, a high school junior, has taken it upon herself to bring joy to senior citizens this holiday season. Through her project called "Socks for Seniors," she sends silly and colorful socks to nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Ellie's goal is to brighten the lives of senior citizens and bring some fun and color to their feet. Over the past four years, she has sent socks to 92 facilities across 48 states. Her initiative is a heartwarming example of how small acts of kindness can make a big difference
**CosMc's: McDonald's Spinoff Chain** Lastly, for those who enjoy unique culinary experiences, McDonald's has launched a spinoff chain offering specialty beverages, coffees, and a variety of new food options.

Chohnny Mack with five good news stories.

price of a Christmas themed burger. It
3
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:22.359
runs around sixteen pounds that's twenty dollars
ish depending on your exchange rate. The
4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:27.640
burger comprises a turkey, chicken and
duck patty slathered in gravy and topped with
5
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.079
cheese, no fries included. It's
not even the price that people are upset
6
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.920
about. It's the brown sauce inside
the burger that has ruffled a few feathers.
7
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.560
Some foodies don't like the combination of
parsnips and Brussels sprouts being inside,
8
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.759
whereas others say the gravy would make
it hard to eat and they turn their
9
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.280
noses up about their brown sauce being
in it. You'll find us at the
10
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.880
Butcher's Tap and Grill in Marlowe,
Buckinghamshure. Tom Carriage is the chef.

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.400
with a jug of Greevy. It's
one partridge short of a pear tree.
16
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.680
Are you having trouble picking a name
for your baby? Well, good news.
17
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.239
There's an app similar to Tinder.
Jessica is a mom. She need
18
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.000
a name for a little girl.
She went on the app. As it
19
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.280
work, you swipe left on the
names you don't like and right on the
20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.439
ones you do. When both partners
swipe right on the same name, it's
21
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.719
a match. What's the app called, Jenny Mack. It's called Kinder,
22
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.640
Jessica says for anyone looking for baby
names, if you're pregnant, you can't
23
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.640
find anything. I highly recommend getting
on Kinder. All right, what name
24
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.400
did they pick? Daisy? That's
a nice name. Mom thinks it'll be
25
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.159
a great story to tell Daisy when
Daisy is older. It's just so cool.
26
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.239
It's just so fun. It's a
fun story tell when they get older,
27
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.599
and you'd be like, you got
name from Kinder. You'll definitely have
28
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.040
to give it a go. Good
news. If you're a white rhino two
29
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.640
thousand of you that have been bred
in captivity. You'll soon be rewilded across
30
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.599
Africa. The initiative, spearheaded by
the nonprofit African Parks and also supported by
31
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.759
the South African government, emphasizes the
impending threats of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.
32
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.599
The two thousand rhinos, originally bred
at a large scale farm dedicated to
33
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.039
conservation, were at risk due to
financial challenges, prompting the intervention of African
34
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.319
Parks, which secured the form through
emergency funding. Over the next ten years,
35
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.719
the rhinos, released in groups of
approximately three hundred a year, are
36
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.800
expected to contribute to bidiversity and ecosystem
health. Ellie the teenager is making sure
37
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.319
your feet stay warm and colorful by
bringing her signature silly socks to those who
38
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.560
might feel forgotten this holiday season.
She's a junior in high school and she's
39
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.879
friends with all the seniors. Oh
no, not those seniors. She means
40
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.840
the senior citizens. Ellie says,
I'm a grandma's girl, and I love
41
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.759
my Nana. Ellie was a seventh
grader when she created socks for seniors,
42
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.280
sending silly socks to local nursing homes
and assisted living facilities. The goals to
43
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.039
bring some color and fun to your
citizen's feet. Ellie said, it's kind
44
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.360
of funny to see the reactions because
they'll be like, do you have any
45
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.639
black ones? Is there any plain
ones? And we're like, we're the
46
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.319
exact opposite of black or gray or
plane. Four years into this, she
47
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.599
sent socks to ninety two facilities across
forty eight states. Ellie said, I
48
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.000
know they have toys for tots and
things for kids, and you know,
49
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.639
you always seem to forget about seniors. Good news. If you like your
50
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.639
McDonald's a little weird. Have you
seen this? They're opening a spinoff chain
51
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:34.280
called cosmicx cosmc You'll find a dark, purple and green building with yellow accents.
52
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.280
Cosmics named after a McDonald's character from
the nineteen eighties that I don't remember
53
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.800
at all. That character is described
as part alien, part surfer, part
54
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.400
robot. What's the point of this? McDonald's had identified specialty beverages and coffees
55
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.159
as a fast growing area. A
suit with the company says we can't capitalize
56
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.000
on this in our existing restaurants because
of the complexity that customized beverages would bring
57
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.319
to our kitchens. Some of the
drinks at Cosmics include a s'mores cold brew
58
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:06.319
and a turmeric spice latte. Other
drinks include specialty teas and lemonades. They
59
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.520
can customize with additions like boba or
Vitamin C. New food offerings include a
60
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.199
spicy Caso sandwich, pressel bites,
and desserts such as caramel fudge brownies and
61
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.759
Sundays. This to me, sounds
like, if you find McDonald's too healthy,
62
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.120
go to Cosmics. The company also
announced they're going to use cloud technology
63
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.079
and AI to make improvements in areas
like its mobile app and self serve kiosks
64
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.519
translation. Then we don't have to
pay people, the suit said. The
65
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:36.439
Cosmics concept allows McDonald's to be more
playful because out of normal McDonald's, it's
66
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.879
hard to include something like a popping
pear slush that your vive good news stories
