Host Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: a Hollywood, Florida steakhouse called Class Soiree Steakhouse will host a nude dining experience the first Monday of every month, with clothed staff, rules including no touching, robes and seat covers provided, and pricing of $250 for men, $150 for women, and $300 for couples for adults 18+. An engineering prodigy in Florida, Nathan Thomas, became the youngest college professor at 18 years and 346 days at Miami Dade after earning a master’s in electrical engineering, and he now teaches online while pursuing a University of Miami law degree with a 2028 graduation target. A British man set a Guinness record by eating 15 fish fingers in one minute. Train services were briefly stopped to rescue a tortoise from tracks and reunite it with its owner. An Australian beagle ate 2.4 pounds of gummy worms, prompting a vet visit and induced vomiting.

00:00:03.859 --> 00:00:11.439
Oh my, a Florida steakhouse has decided that the problem

2
00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:15.439
with dinner is pants. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with 5

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:20.160
Good News Stories. It's the Class Soiree Steakhouse in Hollywood, Florida,

4
00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:22.879
and they're offering what it calls a nude dining experience

5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.570
on the first Monday of every month. That's coming up.

6
00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:28.469
October's almost here. You should do it. The chef and

7
00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.190
owner say the idea is pretty straightforward. Running in a

8
00:00:31.329 --> 00:00:33.409
restaurant is difficult, and getting people to notice the restaurant

9
00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:37.009
is more difficult. So what do you do? Nude dining. However,

10
00:00:37.990 --> 00:00:40.969
the staff is always dressed. The chef says employees have

11
00:00:40.990 --> 00:00:43.789
been trained to treat the evening professionally. He says, I'm

12
00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:45.649
the chef and owner of my crew. We're all professionals.

13
00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:52.119
Men pay $ 250. Women pay $ 150. Couples can attend for $ 300.

14
00:00:51.859 --> 00:00:55.340
You have to be at least 18, and you can't

15
00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:58.119
touch people. That's one of the rules. And I'm going

16
00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:01.899
to say a good rule. Toshiba is one of the hostesses.

17
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.159
She says, once you walk through the door, I'll most

18
00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:07.340
likely be nude, no clothes on. I'm glad she clarified that.

19
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.340
So when you come in, you feel more comfortable. Each

20
00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:13.219
guest receives a robe, a soft towel, and a seat cover,

21
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.280
which answers at least one of the questions that you had.

22
00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:18.859
I'm going to flip the order of my stories here.

23
00:01:18.890 --> 00:01:20.640
I'll tell you why when we get to number three.

24
00:01:20.909 --> 00:01:23.769
I'm flipping two and three. New story number two is

25
00:01:23.810 --> 00:01:27.129
an engineering prodigy from Florida has officially been recognized as

26
00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:30.340
the youngest college professor in history to Nathan was just

27
00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:33.909
18 and 346 days when he began teaching at Miami Dade.

28
00:01:34.530 --> 00:01:37.489
By 18, he had a master's degree in electrical engineering.

29
00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:41.750
His achievement breaks a record dating back 300 years. Scottish

30
00:01:41.810 --> 00:01:45.400
mathematician Colin McLaurin was 19 when he became a professor.

31
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.219
Thomas is now 21, still teaches online, but now he's

32
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.439
studying for a law degree at the University of Miami

33
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.730
School of Law. He's expected to graduate in 2028. He

34
00:01:54.769 --> 00:01:57.349
told Guinness, engineering taught me how to break down complex

35
00:01:57.370 --> 00:01:59.450
problems in a structured way, and that's carried over into

36
00:01:59.510 --> 00:02:02.329
how I approach law school now. All right, John, what

37
00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:04.620
story did you skip there? What didn't you want to

38
00:02:04.659 --> 00:02:06.900
do after the nude restaurant? Well, a British man has

39
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.199
turned a favorite kid's food into a Guinness World Record.

40
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.919
Nathan ate 15 fish sticks in one minute. There's a

41
00:02:13.939 --> 00:02:16.590
famous joke about fish sticks. I got to make sure

42
00:02:16.689 --> 00:02:18.169
I take a pause there. I don't want to get

43
00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:20.569
in trouble or anything. We're talking about fish fingers. Let's

44
00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:23.560
call them fish fingers. A little safer. Nathan set the

45
00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:27.439
record for most fish fingers eaten in 60 seconds. He

46
00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.379
told Guinness, I decided fish fingers was achievable given I've

47
00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:32.900
got a few less formal eating records, so it's up

48
00:02:32.979 --> 00:02:35.659
my street. He said, it's a bit strange, but I'm

49
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.639
very proud of a world record, but less proud when

50
00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:39.639
it's fish finger related. I think I could have done

51
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.560
more if I'd let them cool down longer, but I'm

52
00:02:41.580 --> 00:02:44.479
happy to have the record. A passenger waiting at a

53
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.990
train station saw a tortoise beside the tracks alerted the

54
00:02:48.030 --> 00:02:51.849
railway staff. Avanti West Coast and Network Rail stopped the

55
00:02:51.949 --> 00:02:54.490
trains while they organized a rescue. The whole thing took

56
00:02:54.490 --> 00:02:57.900
10 minutes, then service resumed. The tortoise, believed to be

57
00:02:57.909 --> 00:03:00.000
around 50 years old, was taken to a local rescue

58
00:03:00.009 --> 00:03:02.939
center and reunited with its owner. The train people had

59
00:03:02.979 --> 00:03:06.659
some fun with it because their mascot is a turtle.

60
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.460
The turtle mascot is named Turbo. Catherine from the train

61
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:13.319
company said, After receiving reports of a slow-moving trespasser on

62
00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:15.659
the tracks, our team worked with Network Rail to carry

63
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.020
out a safe rescue. Even our mascot, Turbo, came out

64
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.419
of his shell. to help the unexpected visitor company on

65
00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:23.719
the journey to a local rescue center. They thanked passengers

66
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.159
for their patience. The folks over at Network Rail, they

67
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.719
chimed in too and said, while there was initial shell

68
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.240
shock in our control room when we first got the

69
00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:34.680
call about a trespassing tortoise, there was nothing slow and

70
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.639
steady with our response. At last check, the trains were

71
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.639
running and were on schedule. Oh no, an Australian beagle

72
00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:45.300
ended up at the emergency vet after eating 2.4 pounds

73
00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:49.930
of gummy worms. Scooter, the beagle. Ate an entire bag

74
00:03:49.969 --> 00:03:52.969
of gummy worms. They're known in Australia as jelly snakes.

75
00:03:53.009 --> 00:03:56.539
Of course they are. Now, jokes aside, the problem is

76
00:03:56.620 --> 00:04:01.060
that some gummy worms contain an artificial sweetener that can

77
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.639
be dangerous for dogs. This type did not. But the

78
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.080
vets were still worried about the enormous amount of sugar

79
00:04:07.139 --> 00:04:11.219
that Scooter concerned, so they induced vomiting. Scooter then vomited

80
00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:14.789
up 2.4 pounds of gummy worms. To be safe, they

81
00:04:14.870 --> 00:04:19.089
checked out her canine sibling, Jada. They made Jada throw up.

82
00:04:19.209 --> 00:04:22.310
Jada threw up exactly one gummy worm. So we know

83
00:04:22.350 --> 00:04:25.389
who ate the bag. But if you've got a dog,

84
00:04:25.509 --> 00:04:28.129
you know, if you just ask the dogs, hey, who

85
00:04:28.189 --> 00:04:30.009
did this? One of the dogs would have made guilty

86
00:04:30.050 --> 00:04:31.360
face and the other dog would have been like, what

87
00:04:31.379 --> 00:04:33.399
are you talking about? I have dogs. I'm telling you,

88
00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:36.899
you could have just asked. They would have guilted themselves.

89
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.379
The vet summed up Scooter's feelings and said the experience

90
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.160
was 10 out of 10 and should do it again.

91
00:04:43.060 --> 00:04:45.430
Those are your five good news stories for today. Hey,
