00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.199
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm chinning Mack with five

2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.039
good news stories. Do you like nightclubs? Do you like McDonald's?

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.000
What if I combine the two? Yeah? Why don't you

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:20.239
head over to Budapest where the Yogatti Lounge McDonald's has

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.160
rebranded itself as a nightclub, complete with DJ sets and

6
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.760
light displays. Every Friday and Saturday, the McDonald's turns into

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.839
a nightclub from ten to four. Light paintings are cast

8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.359
onto the McDonald's roof, creating an ultra unique immersive experience,

9
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.439
with themes varying from the depths of the seas, rainforest,

10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.280
and even a starry night sky. This McDonald's opened in

11
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.079
nineteen ninety as part of the railway station built in

12
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.280
eighteen seventy seven. One visitor named Elizabeth said, it's an

13
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.439
interesting experience to try once, but honestly I found it

14
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.039
a bit overrated. The concept defeating burgers while listening to

15
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.439
a DJ's a little strange. That said, the visual effects

16
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.560
and music are amazing if you want to head there.

17
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.920
It's in Budapest. A man in Arizona is reunited with

18
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.799
his dog after eight years. The dog ran off during

19
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.599
a stop in Oklahoma City. Paul was moving from Massachusetts

20
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.920
to Arizona. He stopped off in Oklahoma City. He took

21
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.040
Damien for a walk. Damien ran away. He started running

22
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.640
down the service road. I couldn't catch him. Paul spent

23
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.920
a week in Oklahoma City trying to find the dog,

24
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
but eventually had a move on to Arizona. Eight years later,

25
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.439
he got a text message from Rick from Oklahoma. Rick zed,

26
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.920
I found your dog. Damien was wandering loose. Rick took

27
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.120
him to the vet. The microchip revealed the name and owner.

28
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.200
Damien was found about thirty miles from where he originally

29
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.359
went missing. What he's been doing for eight years? Nobody knows.

30
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.480
A London man broke a Guinness record by visiting forty

31
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.439
two museums in twenty four hours. Ben said his kids

32
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.400
inspired him to attempt the record for most museums visit

33
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.680
in twenty four hours. He explains the record began as

34
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.000
a conversation with my children about how hard it could

35
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.519
be to break a world record. London was an obvious

36
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.000
choice for the attempt, With over two hundred registered museums,

37
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.439
It's one of the world's great museum cities offer unique

38
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.280
diversity from places like the British Museum two smaller gems

39
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.239
like the Bank of England Museum and the Police Museum.

40
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.680
Forty two broke the previous record of thirty three set

41
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.000
in twenty twenty four. An Alabama family was offered free

42
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.759
donuts for a year why their baby was born in

43
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.439
a Krispy Cream parking lot during a snowstorm. Shanaya and

44
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.360
Keon were heading to the hospital. She felt the contractions,

45
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.199
but the snow was so heavy she realized she wasn't

46
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.159
going to make it the final mile to the hospital.

47
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.159
They pulled over into the parking lot of the Krispy Kreme.

48
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.680
Baby Dallas was born before responders arrived. Mom said, I

49
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.360
really don't know how it stayed calm because I was

50
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.680
really scared. Mom and Dad say, family want to give

51
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.360
Dallas the middle name Glade. Dad said, we'll have to

52
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:48.840
talk about that. And it's the tale of Earl the Donkey.

53
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.439
Earl the Donkey fell in love with a yoga ball.

54
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.599
He was popular on social media for videos of pushing

55
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.039
the yoga ball around his paddock and then it deflated.

56
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.240
Homes for hoofs took in Earl the Donkey in twenty

57
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.879
twenty four. It had lived its whole adult life alone.

58
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.479
Scheduling playdates with the other animals didn't go well, but

59
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.840
Earle liked the yoga ball. Michelle was the owner of

60
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.120
homes for hoofs. It says the excitement was just pure

61
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.759
joy for him. He just had the time of his life.

62
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.560
He had so much fun. He would exhaust himself pushing, biting,

63
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.879
and kicking the yoga ball across the enclosure. And then

64
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.439
one day a hole in the ball donations arrived from

65
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.680
across the area. Earl was left like a kid in

66
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.919
a candy store with more yoga balls than he knew

67
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.199
what to do with. More than forty showed up, and

68
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.800
then three rescue donkeys showed up six months later. They're

69
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.039
all pals and they have yoga balls. And those are

70
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.039
your five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
