Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. A donkey charity has named a donkey
after Ricky Gervais. Why Ricky donated one hundred thousand pounds
to help them with their work. Safe Haven for Donkeys
was one of twenty two animal charities to benefit from
a share of two and a half million pounds that
Ricky Gervais has donated. The charity cares for donkeys in Israel,
West Bank, Gozen parts of Egypt. They've been treating thousands
of donkeys in the Gaza Strip, where a lack of
fuel has forced people to rely on them as their
main form of transport. Tiny foal named Jervase was born
at the charity sanctuary in Israel. Her mother, Deborah, had
been found abandoned in the desert. Deborah was around seven
months pregnant and had no one to care for her.
A local woman contacted Safe Haven for Donkeys after finding
Debor near her home. That same evening, Debra was transported
to Safe Haven's sanctuary in Israel. Andy Is the chief
executive for Safe Hay for Donkeys and said when Deborah
arrived she was heavily pregnant and had no one to
care for her. To see her now safe and calm
with her fall beside her is incredibly moving. Gervais is
full of life and already showing off her first teeth.
Do you like McDonald's I know not everyone does. I'm
a big McDonald's fan because anytime I go to Europe,
I get thirsty, and in Europe it's hard to find
either a cold drink or a big drink, and McDonald's
will sell you both. So I'm a big European McDonald's fan.
Emily has worked at two separate McDonald's and she has
answered some of the questions. The big question, should you
go in or should you go to the drive through?
Which is actually faster? Emily says the drive through is
actually faster because it operates on a timer system that
tracks how long it takes from the moment your car
pulls up to the speaker to the moment you drive
away with your food. They also post the results inside,
and she says we would make this a sport to
try to get the number down so people tend to
care more about the drive through. Interesting if he also
has a hack if you want a big Mac without
the Big Mac price, she says, Order a double cheeseburger
and ask them to dress it like a big Mac.
That means big Mac sauce. Let us the works. All
the additions like let us in Big Mac Sauce are free,
so you get the same amount of meat and it's
half the price. Good hack there. Also, if you'd like
free hash browns, she says, walk into a McDonald's kind
of as they're wrapping up the breakfast menu around eleven
in the morning. Some locations will give away the leftover
hash browns rather than throw them out. You just have
to ask nicely. I'll give you that same note at
Dunkin Donuts in the evening. Sometimes when they're wrapping up
for the night, they'll give you some extra donuts if
you buy one right. Here's a job professional line stander.
Inner They call it a professional cuer. But you know
a guy who stands in line. He's AJ. He's twenty
three years old. He gets paid to stand in line
for other people, concert tickets, product launches, pop up stores,
grand openings. If there's a line, AJ will stand in it,
he says. I will cue for absolutely anything. For his
first job, he showed up at eight pm for a
nine am store opening, and found one hundred people already
in line and anything with them. No food, no water,
no coat. He had a small folding chair and that
was it. He ended up ordering a pizza, but he
loves it. He says. Instead of dreading thirteen hours of
standing around, I ended up playing games with people like
charades and heads up. I realized how terrible I was
a general trivia. It was good. It was quite exciting.
Now he got tips from regulars who showed up in
pajamas and sleeping bags. He said, it's like a whole
living room setup. It's pretty crazy. So these days he's
more prepared, better chair, sleeping, mad food, drinks. The works
charges around two hundred and fifty pounds and says two
point fifty for essentially not doing anything is good money.
Good news for a couple who run a furniture restoration
studio will be called Heirloom House in Jacksonville, Florida. They
got an old dresser standard stuff for them. They restore
and refurnish the old furniture. Then they noticed something wedged
between two pieces of wood. It was a bundle of cash.
They got out the camera started filming on TikTok. The
husband sees it first says that's a good bit of money.
The wife says, I think that might be a twenty.
They get the bundle loose with a screwdriver and they
find a fifty then at the center of the bundle,
one hundred dollars bill. Wife says, holy cow. The final
tally ten to fifty dollars bills, one one hundred dollars bill.
That adds up to how much everybody? Six hundred dollars?
That's right. They also found a gold coin and a
plastic protective case with a cartoon dragon on one side.
They think it is a Chinese good luck coin of
some kind. The husband said it's fake, but it's cool
and congratulations to the folks. At the thirteenth annual Avocado
Festival in Mexico, more than one thousand local growers and
residents came together and mixed up fourteen nine hundred and
ninety one pounds of guacamole in under two and a
half hours. That is a gidness world record, beating the
previous record of nine hundred and sixty one pounds set
in twenty twenty two. The avocado growers are also proud.
It was a historic season and more than two point
five billion pounds of Mexican avocados reached the US market.
And those are your five good news stories for today.
Have a great day.
