What's worse than a mouse in your mouth? A bat!
Johnny Mac shares five good news stories, starting with a Virginia doctor who woke from a dream of a mouse entering her mouth to find a bat on her face; her husband captured it, she went to the ER with the bat, and it tested negative for rabies. Two men metal detecting at New York’s Great Sacandaga Lake found a Red Creek High School class of 1988 ring and, after contacting the school, returned it to its owner Kim, who lost it 28 years earlier. A Swiss man, Robin, set a Guinness World Record in blobbing by being launched 92.58 feet above water. A brewery construction site in Belgium revealed a hoard of 40 gold bars and over 4,000 gold sovereigns worth about $10 million, now secured as investigators determine ownership. A injured whitethroat songbird is recovering with tiny casts and may be released.

0:07 I don't know if I should tell you the headline or do the reveal, because the headline's kind of amazing. Maybe I'll just do the headline. Hello, I'm Johnny Mac with five good news stories. All right, what's the headline, John? Virginia woman's strange dream. ends with a bat on her face. Oh my God, can you imagine? A Virginia doctor was dreaming about a little mouse trying to enter her mouth. Well, that's horrible. I mean, you don't want a mouse entering your mouth, right? But it was even worse. It was a bat. Krista said she reached towards her mouth and grabbed the bat before realizing what it was. Her screams woke her husband, who captured the bat. Dr. Krista then went to the ER, taking the bat along so it could be tested. She didn't think she'd be bitten, but doctors took this very seriously, more seriously than your local podcast host. There, Dr. Adam explained that tiny bat bites can go unnoticed, making an evaluation important after possible exposure to a mouth-biting bat. Good news, the bat tested negative for rabies, and presumably so did Dr. Krista. A class ring lost in a New York lake is back after 28 years. Michael and Dylan were at New York's great Sacandanga Lake. Did I say that right? Probably not. Their metal detector went off. Beneath a rock, they found a ring from the Red Creek High School class of 1988.
1:22 They posted photos on Facebook, hoping someone would recognize it. Then no one did, so they contacted the school. The secretary recognized the ring's owner as her former classmate, Kim. Kim had lost it on the lake 28 years earlier. This is amazing. Congratulations to Robin. Robin has set a record for blobbing. What is this? Three jumpers, one giant airbag, and a willing passenger helped send a Swiss man into the record books. 92 feet above the water, Robin reached a height of 92.58 feet. Very exact. Setting the Guinness World Record for the sport known as blobbing. You need help, so Luke and Tristan jumped onto the floating airbag and propelled Robin skyward. Robin's flight surpassed the previous record of 72 feet, which has stood since 2012. Meanwhile, in Belgium, a construction job at a brewery was good luck for some people and uncovered thousands of gold coins and found a gold bar stuck to their jackhammer. Toby found the coins and thought they were ordinary one euro pieces. They were arranged neatly in a row. He asked a colleague to help him dig it out. A closer look revealed a small bar of gold attached to the jackhammer. They kept going. The coins became a hoard of 40 gold bars and more than 4,000 gold sovereigns, reportedly worth about $ 10 million. Boy, these guys are special. They contacted the property owner who alerted the police. Authorities collected the treasure and moved it to a secure, undisclosed location. The East Flanders Public Prosecutor's Office said investigators were working to figure
2:55 out where the gold came from and who owns it. Most of the bars date from the 1960s. The coins carry a range of dates and origins. Why were they beneath the brewery? How did they get there? Why are they still there? What's going on? My question would be, can I have the $ 10 million, please? Good news for a small songbird who was injured in a collision with a car. That's not how this show works. The songbird is recovering with the help of two tiny casts fashioned from cardboard, cotton wool, and medical tape. The poor little white throat was found lying stunned in a road by a couple who called the wildlife hospital, brought him in for treatment. Staff discovered that the bird's feet had curled up and could no longer grip. Apparently because of nerve damage or ligament damage, they weren't sure. The rest of the bird seemed fine. But, you know, the bird needs to be able to stand. And so the hospital team created a pair of lightweight casts to hold his feet steady.
3:45 Cotton wool cushions the feet against the cardboard. Andy said they'd used this technique before, usually with young birds suffering from nutritional deficiencies. The bird seems to be making a good recovery. They're hoping to return the bird to the wild. And that is good news. And those are your five good news stories for today. Don't forget, I also host Daily Comedy News seven days a week. We talk about comedians. That shows a lot of fun.
