00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories for

2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:16.239
Women's History Month, which is this
month, and for Barbie's sixty fifth birthday,

3
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:20.519
Barbie announced it's adding new Donalds to
its role Models collection. These are

4
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.000
based on real life singers and actresses
from around the world. They're not for

5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.559
sale. They're just meant to introduce
girls to remarkable women's stories to show them

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.320
that you can be anything. According
to Mattel, the women Viola Davis,

7
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:37.640
Helen miren lyla avilis a Mexican director, producer and screenwriter, Myra Gomez,

8
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.920
a Brazilian content creator, Nicole Fujita, a Japanese model, and a Nissa

9
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.759
Amani, an Iranian German comedian.
Previous barbiees in this collection include Shonda Rhimes,

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:53.119
singer Celia Cruz, skateboarder Sky Brown, and tennis star Naomi Asaka.

11
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.560
We'll get a little sad here for
a second, and we'll pick it back

12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.560
up. John Stewart's farewell to his
dog Dipper on The Daily Show helped the

13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.280
local animal shelter that the dog had
come from get nearly fifty thousand dollars worth

14
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:10.159
of donations Tiffany Lacey, who's the
executive director of Animal Haven, told CBS

15
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.079
News were just shy of fifty thousand. This is a big deal and it's

16
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.840
unexpected. A few days later,
she updated and said we're at sixty thousand

17
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.959
hour and still dripping in. The
no kill shelter in Manhattan has an operating

18
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.879
budget of about three million dollars houses
around one hundred dogs and cats at a

19
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.120
time. John Stewart explained how Dipper
entered his life about twelve years ago because

20
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.599
his kids, who were then six
and seven, wanted to raise money for

21
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.799
the shelter by selling cupcakes they had
baked. Stuart said, they brought out

22
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.000
this one ish year old brindle pit
bull hit by a car in Brooklyn and

23
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.959
had lost his right leg. They
put the dog in my lap and we

24
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.040
left that day feeling really good that
would help this great organization. We'd also

25
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.040
left with this oneish brindle pitbull and
we called Dipper. It was love at

26
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.280
first sight. The Stewart family has
adopted multiple pets from Animal Haven. Lacey

27
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.920
said dogs are in particularly need right
now. Other shelters have reported being overwhelmed

28
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.480
by abandoned dogs. It's good news
for the cats as kitten and can adoptions

29
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.560
are way up, and she urges
people to donate, adopt and volunteer.

30
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:06.079
Always adopt, don't shop. All
right, let's pick up the mood here

31
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.159
a little bit. A museum in
Saint Louis broke the Guinness World Record by

32
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.159
gathering three hundred and fifty five people
to wear underwear on their heads at the

33
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:19.520
same time. Yes the previous record
two hundred and seventy the new record three

34
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.400
point fifty five. The museum provided
the white briefs for the attempt, and

35
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.879
just after two thirty pm, a
Guinness World Record person said the record had

36
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.680
been broken. A doctor has explained
how you can drift off faster. This

37
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.479
is the five senses sleep trick.
Doctor Lee tells us. Here's what you're

38
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.840
gonna do. You're gonna sit or
lie somewhere quietly, try to relax.

39
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.680
Take in some deep breaths. Then
think of each of your senses, and

40
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.840
no particular order. It has been
a minute or two on each. You're

41
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.240
ready, all right, Sight,
Think of five colors you can see and

42
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.719
what they make you. Think of
sound, Think of four things you can

43
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.919
hear, Think about what they represent. Touch, Think of three things that

44
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.879
are touching you and how they feel
in your body. Smell. Think of

45
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.000
two things you can smell and what
it reminds you of. And taste.

46
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.000
Think of one thing that you can
taste, what does it remind you of?

47
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.240
Are you're asleep yet? No,
don't fall asleep. I've got one

48
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.159
more story. All right. Remember
that recent Willy Wonka disaster thing that happened

49
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.360
in Scotland. Well, Willy Fest, A musical parody will take inspiration from

50
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.800
that event. The original event,
called Willy's Chocolate Experience, charged forty four

51
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.000
dollars to attend. Actor Paul Connell, who was among three actors hired to

52
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.240
play Wanka, remarked he was sent
to script that was like fifteen pages of

53
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.960
AI generated gibberish, of me just
monologuing these mad things. The musical is

54
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.319
described as if Edwood and P.
T. Bornham got into the environmental experiences

55
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.840
fueled by a million dreams and zero
dollars, it might turn out like this.

56
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.159
While most see nothing but wreckage and
disaster of this magnitude, we think

57
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.879
it screams out musical. That's your
five good news stories for today. If

58
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.840
you enjoy the prayer, I tell
a friend about it. They might like

59
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.240
it too. See you next time.
