0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories for Women's History Month, which is this month, and for Barbie's sixty fifth birthday, Barbie announced it's adding new Donalds to its role Models collection. These are based on real life singers and actresses from around the world. They're not for sale. They're just meant to introduce girls to remarkable women's stories to show them that you can be anything. According to Mattel, the women Viola Davis, Helen miren lyla avilis a Mexican director, producer and screenwriter, Myra Gomez, a Brazilian content creator, Nicole Fujita, a Japanese model, and a Nissa Amani, an Iranian German comedian. Previous barbiees in this collection include Shonda Rhimes, singer Celia Cruz, skateboarder Sky Brown, and tennis star Naomi Asaka.
0:53 We'll get a little sad here for a second, and we'll pick it back up. John Stewart's farewell to his dog Dipper on The Daily Show helped the local animal shelter that the dog had come from get nearly fifty thousand dollars worth of donations Tiffany Lacey, who's the executive director of Animal Haven, told CBS News were just shy of fifty thousand. This is a big deal and it's unexpected. A few days later, she updated and said we're at sixty thousand hour and still dripping in. The no kill shelter in Manhattan has an operating budget of about three million dollars houses around one hundred dogs and cats at a time. John Stewart explained how Dipper entered his life about twelve years ago because his kids, who were then six and seven, wanted to raise money for the shelter by selling cupcakes they had baked. Stuart said, they brought out this one ish year old brindle pit bull hit by a car in Brooklyn and had lost his right leg. They put the dog in my lap and we left that day feeling really good that would help this great organization. We'd also left with this oneish brindle pitbull and we called Dipper. It was love at first sight. The Stewart family has adopted multiple pets from Animal Haven. Lacey said dogs are in particularly need right now. Other shelters have reported being overwhelmed by abandoned dogs. It's good news for the cats as kitten and can adoptions are way up, and she urges people to donate, adopt and volunteer.
2:01 Always adopt, don't shop. All right, let's pick up the mood here a little bit. A museum in Saint Louis broke the Guinness World Record by gathering three hundred and fifty five people to wear underwear on their heads at the same time. Yes the previous record two hundred and seventy the new record three point fifty five. The museum provided the white briefs for the attempt, and just after two thirty pm, a Guinness World Record person said the record had been broken. A doctor has explained how you can drift off faster. This is the five senses sleep trick. Doctor Lee tells us. Here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna sit or lie somewhere quietly, try to relax. Take in some deep breaths. Then think of each of your senses, and no particular order. It has been a minute or two on each. You're ready, all right, Sight, Think of five colors you can see and what they make you. Think of sound, Think of four things you can hear, Think about what they represent. Touch, Think of three things that are touching you and how they feel in your body. Smell. Think of two things you can smell and what it reminds you of. And taste.
3:02 Think of one thing that you can taste, what does it remind you of? Are you're asleep yet? No, don't fall asleep. I've got one more story. All right. Remember that recent Willy Wonka disaster thing that happened in Scotland. Well, Willy Fest, A musical parody will take inspiration from that event. The original event, called Willy's Chocolate Experience, charged forty four dollars to attend. Actor Paul Connell, who was among three actors hired to play Wanka, remarked he was sent to script that was like fifteen pages of AI generated gibberish, of me just monologuing these mad things. The musical is described as if Edwood and P. T. Bornham got into the environmental experiences fueled by a million dreams and zero dollars, it might turn out like this.
3:45 While most see nothing but wreckage and disaster of this magnitude, we think it screams out musical. That's your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the prayer, I tell a friend about it. They might like it too. See you next time.
