1
00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:13,294
Speaker 1: You're listening to Amma mea podcast.

2
00:00:14,094 --> 00:00:17,174
Speaker 2: Mumma Me acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters

3
00:00:17,214 --> 00:00:18,934
Speaker 2: that this podcast is recorded on.

4
00:00:21,414 --> 00:00:25,574
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm Taylor Strano. This is mummys Hice daily news podcast,

5
00:00:25,614 --> 00:00:28,734
Speaker 3: The Quickie. I'm popping into your feed on this Saturday

6
00:00:28,814 --> 00:00:31,614
Speaker 3: with a little weekend treat for you. Let's face it,

7
00:00:31,694 --> 00:00:35,854
Speaker 3: the news cycle can be well overwhelming, I think is

8
00:00:35,894 --> 00:00:38,494
Speaker 3: a nice way to put it. We're constantly being bombarded

9
00:00:38,534 --> 00:00:42,134
Speaker 3: with headlines that leave us feeling stressed and exhausted, maybe

10
00:00:42,134 --> 00:00:44,374
Speaker 3: even a little bit hopeless. I don't know about you,

11
00:00:44,414 --> 00:00:46,654
Speaker 3: but by the end of the week sometimes that's where

12
00:00:46,654 --> 00:00:49,494
Speaker 3: I'm at. But today we're hitting pause on the usual

13
00:00:49,534 --> 00:00:52,254
Speaker 3: chaos and bringing you some good news stories that will

14
00:00:52,294 --> 00:00:55,174
Speaker 3: put a smile on your face. Think of it as

15
00:00:55,174 --> 00:00:57,814
Speaker 3: your weekend pick me up, a dose of positivity to

16
00:00:58,014 --> 00:01:01,214
Speaker 3: brighten your day. And what better way to share the

17
00:01:01,294 --> 00:01:03,694
Speaker 3: love than with our very own Claire Murphy, who's here

18
00:01:03,694 --> 00:01:06,054
Speaker 3: to spread the good news. Claire, Welcome back.

19
00:01:06,934 --> 00:01:09,774
Speaker 1: Hello, Taylor Strano. I'm loving this good news.

20
00:01:09,854 --> 00:01:11,494
Speaker 2: In fact, I had some of my friends tell me

21
00:01:11,814 --> 00:01:15,054
Speaker 2: that they listened last week and we're like pleasantly surprised.

22
00:01:15,094 --> 00:01:17,214
Speaker 1: That it's not all doom and gloom. This week looks

23
00:01:17,294 --> 00:01:18,014
Speaker 1: like thanks.

24
00:01:18,174 --> 00:01:19,814
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, you just have to look a little bit

25
00:01:19,854 --> 00:01:22,654
Speaker 3: harder for good news sometimes. But also you don't, because

26
00:01:22,694 --> 00:01:25,574
Speaker 3: that's what the quickie Saturday at the moment is for. Claire.

27
00:01:25,614 --> 00:01:27,334
Speaker 3: I want you to kick us off this week. What

28
00:01:27,454 --> 00:01:29,574
Speaker 3: good news has been coming across your feed?

29
00:01:29,574 --> 00:01:34,414
Speaker 2: I've got two words for you, Taylor Strano. Okay, Robert Irwin.

30
00:01:36,094 --> 00:01:38,934
Speaker 3: I can see in our script. So Claire and I

31
00:01:39,014 --> 00:01:41,414
Speaker 3: share a script. We put very minimal detail in there

32
00:01:41,454 --> 00:01:44,734
Speaker 3: as to surprise and delight. I can see Robert Irwin's name,

33
00:01:45,654 --> 00:01:49,694
Speaker 3: and I've emoji reacted with a laughing face exactly because.

34
00:01:49,454 --> 00:01:51,694
Speaker 2: I think I've written in there as Robert effing Erwin,

35
00:01:51,774 --> 00:01:52,974
Speaker 2: if I remember rightly.

36
00:01:52,814 --> 00:01:55,174
Speaker 3: You have and I know, yeah, but you're going please continue.

37
00:01:56,254 --> 00:02:00,494
Speaker 2: Look, Robert Erwin's new Bonds ad has sent the entire

38
00:02:00,974 --> 00:02:05,934
Speaker 2: Internet into a much flustered meltdown because Little Bob, as

39
00:02:05,974 --> 00:02:08,854
Speaker 2: he used to be known to us, is in this

40
00:02:08,934 --> 00:02:11,294
Speaker 2: ad recla deck chair in the backyard of what looks

41
00:02:11,334 --> 00:02:15,094
Speaker 2: like a very ossy suburban home. He has a large

42
00:02:15,094 --> 00:02:18,774
Speaker 2: python draped over his shoulders. He has a giant spider

43
00:02:18,814 --> 00:02:22,094
Speaker 2: on his leg tarantula vibes there's a crocodile on the ground,

44
00:02:22,134 --> 00:02:25,294
Speaker 2: because of course there is. And he's like casually sipping

45
00:02:25,374 --> 00:02:27,214
Speaker 2: on an icy cold glass of water. You can hear

46
00:02:27,254 --> 00:02:31,054
Speaker 2: the cubes clinking against the glass. There's like that real

47
00:02:31,214 --> 00:02:33,374
Speaker 2: summer vibe to it, Like you can hear the crickets

48
00:02:33,374 --> 00:02:36,654
Speaker 2: in the background, and like it's just a summer sunset

49
00:02:36,974 --> 00:02:40,134
Speaker 2: in Australia, somewhere in a backyard. Now, look, can I

50
00:02:40,294 --> 00:02:42,494
Speaker 2: just off the bat say? We are very pleased to

51
00:02:42,534 --> 00:02:45,214
Speaker 2: see that Robert Irwin is very well hydrated. We love

52
00:02:45,254 --> 00:02:48,934
Speaker 2: that he's drinking water. Good on him. But holy heck, Bob,

53
00:02:50,414 --> 00:02:53,814
Speaker 2: he's just in his bonds. And I feel very conflicted

54
00:02:53,814 --> 00:02:57,054
Speaker 2: by this, Taylor Strano, because he's matured into a very

55
00:02:57,934 --> 00:03:02,894
Speaker 2: well built, young gentleman. Look, there is a part of

56
00:03:02,894 --> 00:03:05,894
Speaker 2: me that feels very protective of the youngest Stephen Terry

57
00:03:05,934 --> 00:03:08,494
Speaker 2: Irwin offspring, because like he grew up in front of

58
00:03:08,534 --> 00:03:12,414
Speaker 2: our eyes into a seemingly very well adjusted, lovely young man.

59
00:03:12,454 --> 00:03:15,374
Speaker 2: But now Taylor, he's turned into a thirst trap. And

60
00:03:15,694 --> 00:03:17,654
Speaker 2: part of me is looking at that.

61
00:03:17,894 --> 00:03:20,294
Speaker 3: Claire, I want to tell you it's not that deep,

62
00:03:20,814 --> 00:03:23,614
Speaker 3: but I understand that it is that deep for quite

63
00:03:23,654 --> 00:03:27,054
Speaker 3: a few people, including our Out Loud hosts, who earlier

64
00:03:27,054 --> 00:03:29,934
Speaker 3: this week talked about Robert Irwan shoving bread in his

65
00:03:30,054 --> 00:03:32,494
Speaker 3: pants because apparently that's a trick in the industry trade

66
00:03:32,534 --> 00:03:34,934
Speaker 3: when you model underwear, you pop bread in your pants,

67
00:03:34,934 --> 00:03:37,414
Speaker 3: which I didn't know and probably could have lived without knowing.

68
00:03:37,774 --> 00:03:40,854
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some kind of molding of wonderbread that happens

69
00:03:40,934 --> 00:03:42,294
Speaker 2: on photographic shots.

70
00:03:42,334 --> 00:03:43,694
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still a thing, but it

71
00:03:43,734 --> 00:03:44,974
Speaker 1: wasn't the nineties.

72
00:03:44,614 --> 00:03:46,254
Speaker 3: To be honest. When I saw this, I was like,

73
00:03:46,334 --> 00:03:49,214
Speaker 3: this is fantastic, mainly because of all the commentary around it.

74
00:03:49,254 --> 00:03:52,614
Speaker 3: Good on him, get his bag. I don't have feelings

75
00:03:52,694 --> 00:03:56,774
Speaker 3: either way towards the images other than he looks great

76
00:03:57,054 --> 00:03:58,774
Speaker 3: and fit and hot.

77
00:03:59,614 --> 00:04:03,454
Speaker 2: That's the surprising part because we never put Bob Robert

78
00:04:03,454 --> 00:04:05,134
Speaker 2: Irwin in the hot category before.

79
00:04:05,294 --> 00:04:07,934
Speaker 3: Whenever you say Bob, I know we're talking about Robert

80
00:04:07,934 --> 00:04:10,574
Speaker 3: Irwin the youngest, but whatever you say, Boba, when I

81
00:04:10,614 --> 00:04:11,974
Speaker 3: think of Steve Ewan's dad.

82
00:04:11,894 --> 00:04:14,014
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I'll stick with Robert. I'm not sure we

83
00:04:14,054 --> 00:04:16,134
Speaker 2: were ready for that kind of visualization.

84
00:04:16,374 --> 00:04:18,534
Speaker 3: Time in the Jungle with Julia Morris has done that.

85
00:04:18,614 --> 00:04:22,014
Speaker 1: Boy goodly smokes, hasn't it?

86
00:04:22,214 --> 00:04:25,454
Speaker 2: Just? And I just if you want a really fun

87
00:04:25,494 --> 00:04:30,614
Speaker 2: afternoon go to so. Robert's instagram is Robert Irwin Photography

88
00:04:31,014 --> 00:04:33,294
Speaker 2: and that's where he posted the initial video, which has

89
00:04:33,334 --> 00:04:36,774
Speaker 2: had over four million likes now, which is not surprising.

90
00:04:37,494 --> 00:04:41,294
Speaker 2: The comments section is gold. I'll just give you just

91
00:04:41,334 --> 00:04:44,214
Speaker 2: a little smashing seeing this feels illegal.

92
00:04:44,574 --> 00:04:45,894
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree.

93
00:04:46,294 --> 00:04:48,374
Speaker 2: I think I speak for everyone when I say, criikey

94
00:04:49,574 --> 00:04:51,574
Speaker 2: putting my thirty eight year old ass into time out

95
00:04:51,614 --> 00:04:54,814
Speaker 2: for looking at these Robert, you just sent the Aunties

96
00:04:54,814 --> 00:04:56,254
Speaker 2: into premature heart attack.

97
00:04:56,974 --> 00:04:58,854
Speaker 1: So I was like, I think I now identify as

98
00:04:58,854 --> 00:04:59,334
Speaker 1: a cougar.

99
00:04:59,414 --> 00:05:00,054
Speaker 3: Oh my god?

100
00:05:01,774 --> 00:05:04,854
Speaker 2: And this one fine, I'll watch it again. I have

101
00:05:04,974 --> 00:05:06,494
Speaker 2: nothing appropriate to say.

102
00:05:06,974 --> 00:05:09,014
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is good news for Robert Irwin,

103
00:05:09,094 --> 00:05:11,614
Speaker 3: for Bond, for the Australia Zoo, or just for middle

104
00:05:11,614 --> 00:05:12,734
Speaker 3: aged women everywhere.

105
00:05:12,894 --> 00:05:14,814
Speaker 2: I think it's good for all of us. Taylor Strano,

106
00:05:14,974 --> 00:05:16,094
Speaker 2: this is the point of good news.

107
00:05:16,134 --> 00:05:18,654
Speaker 3: Claire. Thank you. I don't know how I can possibly

108
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,374
Speaker 3: follow that up, but Claire, let me try. I'd like

109
00:05:21,414 --> 00:05:24,494
Speaker 3: to paint your picture. Go with me on the journey here,

110
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:27,134
Speaker 3: go for it. Desperately trying to hold onto those last

111
00:05:27,214 --> 00:05:30,734
Speaker 3: warm days of summer somewhere up the New South Wales coast.

112
00:05:30,774 --> 00:05:32,654
Speaker 3: I know that you live inland, but that's details and

113
00:05:32,654 --> 00:05:33,894
Speaker 3: we don't let them get in the way of a

114
00:05:33,894 --> 00:05:37,254
Speaker 3: good story. So you're walking hand in hand with your husband,

115
00:05:37,294 --> 00:05:40,214
Speaker 3: you're on the beach, and then you step on a

116
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,694
Speaker 3: plastic water bottle and the illusion is shattered.

117
00:05:44,014 --> 00:05:44,454
Speaker 1: Gross.

118
00:05:44,774 --> 00:05:49,254
Speaker 3: Well, you are thirty nine percent less likely to encounter

119
00:05:49,294 --> 00:05:52,374
Speaker 3: waste on your beach because new research around the country

120
00:05:52,414 --> 00:05:55,134
Speaker 3: has found that plastic waste around our coastal cities has

121
00:05:55,214 --> 00:05:57,734
Speaker 3: dropped by nearly forty percent in the last decade. That's

122
00:05:57,734 --> 00:06:01,174
Speaker 3: a mouthful. But Claire, the TLDR plastic bottles on the

123
00:06:01,174 --> 00:06:04,574
Speaker 3: beach going down look at us. I love that it

124
00:06:04,734 --> 00:06:07,094
Speaker 3: doesn't beat bread in your undies. But I still think

125
00:06:07,094 --> 00:06:08,654
Speaker 3: that's important news to talk about.

126
00:06:08,774 --> 00:06:11,294
Speaker 2: No, but look, there as a really concerning moment in

127
00:06:11,374 --> 00:06:14,694
Speaker 2: time when we learned about the giant garbage patch in

128
00:06:14,734 --> 00:06:17,574
Speaker 2: the middle of the ocean, and we as Australians really

129
00:06:17,654 --> 00:06:20,814
Speaker 2: contributed to that quite significantly. So it is nice to

130
00:06:20,894 --> 00:06:25,014
Speaker 2: know that we are less wasteful. I do believe maybe

131
00:06:25,054 --> 00:06:28,294
Speaker 2: it is our new addiction to our emotional support water bottles.

132
00:06:28,334 --> 00:06:31,814
Speaker 2: That is probably helping that because you know, drinking out

133
00:06:31,814 --> 00:06:34,774
Speaker 2: of a plastic bottle means you're absolutely unhealthy.

134
00:06:34,414 --> 00:06:37,454
Speaker 1: Right, even if it is water according to social media.

135
00:06:37,494 --> 00:06:40,254
Speaker 2: But I love the fact that we are making a

136
00:06:40,294 --> 00:06:42,454
Speaker 2: difference because you know, when you're talking about climate change

137
00:06:42,454 --> 00:06:46,254
Speaker 2: and environmental issues, it sometimes feels super overwhelming and just

138
00:06:46,494 --> 00:06:47,654
Speaker 2: completely unachievable.

139
00:06:48,014 --> 00:06:48,934
Speaker 1: So when you see.

140
00:06:48,814 --> 00:06:50,374
Speaker 2: Data like this and you're like, do you know what

141
00:06:50,494 --> 00:06:53,134
Speaker 2: the fact that I have gone to reusable things and

142
00:06:53,174 --> 00:06:55,174
Speaker 2: the fact that I am recycling the things that I

143
00:06:55,214 --> 00:06:57,934
Speaker 2: am using that can be recycled, it's progress and it's

144
00:06:57,974 --> 00:06:58,734
Speaker 2: actually happening.

145
00:06:58,854 --> 00:07:00,974
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. I mean the CSIRO are the people

146
00:07:00,974 --> 00:07:03,734
Speaker 3: who ran this research. It happened all across the country,

147
00:07:03,734 --> 00:07:08,694
Speaker 3: places like Perth, Portagusta, Hobart, Newcastle, Sunshine Coast and our springs,

148
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:12,294
Speaker 3: and they have concluded that the efforts for those clean

149
00:07:12,414 --> 00:07:15,334
Speaker 3: up campaigns make our beaches beautiful. All those kind of

150
00:07:15,374 --> 00:07:18,414
Speaker 3: things and better waste management in general are what are

151
00:07:18,454 --> 00:07:22,814
Speaker 3: contributing to the decline in plastic waste and waste on

152
00:07:22,854 --> 00:07:25,694
Speaker 3: our beaches. But I think you're right as well, things

153
00:07:25,774 --> 00:07:28,854
Speaker 3: like the rise in reusable water bottles. And the other

154
00:07:28,894 --> 00:07:31,534
Speaker 3: thing that was really interesting is the most common type

155
00:07:31,574 --> 00:07:34,334
Speaker 3: of debris found on our beaches is cigarette butts, which

156
00:07:34,334 --> 00:07:38,174
Speaker 3: a majority plastic. However, I hazard, I guess, and I

157
00:07:38,174 --> 00:07:40,214
Speaker 3: feel like this is cost of living, working in a

158
00:07:40,254 --> 00:07:43,734
Speaker 3: weird but good way. Nobody can afford to smoke anymore.

159
00:07:43,894 --> 00:07:46,334
Speaker 3: Therefore we have less cigarette butts on the beach.

160
00:07:46,574 --> 00:07:48,614
Speaker 2: Do you know I had no concept of how much

161
00:07:48,654 --> 00:07:51,654
Speaker 2: a packet of cigarettes costs in twenty twenty five, because

162
00:07:52,094 --> 00:07:55,134
Speaker 2: I think the last time I knew that data was

163
00:07:55,174 --> 00:07:57,374
Speaker 2: like when I was a kid and my mate's dad

164
00:07:57,454 --> 00:07:59,774
Speaker 2: sent us down the shop to buy Ziggy's for him,

165
00:07:59,814 --> 00:08:01,654
Speaker 2: which was a completely legal thing.

166
00:08:01,534 --> 00:08:02,694
Speaker 1: To do in the nineties.

167
00:08:03,134 --> 00:08:06,534
Speaker 2: Now like that can be fifty sixty bucks a pack.

168
00:08:06,734 --> 00:08:09,494
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least, so things like I said, those campaigns

169
00:08:09,654 --> 00:08:12,894
Speaker 3: are working in favor of reducing the waste. Obviously, we're

170
00:08:12,934 --> 00:08:15,534
Speaker 3: all becoming far more conscious of single use plastic. And

171
00:08:15,574 --> 00:08:17,494
Speaker 3: it's fantastic because it keeps our beat to the clear,

172
00:08:17,574 --> 00:08:20,534
Speaker 3: it keeps those urban areas around coastal cities nice and

173
00:08:20,574 --> 00:08:23,414
Speaker 3: pristine as well, it makes them as great tourist attractions.

174
00:08:23,734 --> 00:08:25,854
Speaker 3: It also means that when this research was done by

175
00:08:25,894 --> 00:08:29,134
Speaker 3: the CSIRO that we have now a new benchmark for

176
00:08:29,214 --> 00:08:32,654
Speaker 3: future research and policy making so we can continue to

177
00:08:32,734 --> 00:08:36,294
Speaker 3: reduce the waste good for us.

178
00:08:39,854 --> 00:08:43,054
Speaker 2: You might have seen across the US last weekend there

179
00:08:43,094 --> 00:08:47,214
Speaker 2: were massive protests across America. They were called hands Off rallies.

180
00:08:47,534 --> 00:08:51,414
Speaker 2: There were more than twelve hundred locations all fifty states,

181
00:08:51,574 --> 00:08:56,414
Speaker 2: held by civil rights organizations, labor unions, LGBTQAA, plus advocates

182
00:08:56,454 --> 00:09:00,334
Speaker 2: like everyone who is against any policy put in place

183
00:09:00,534 --> 00:09:03,094
Speaker 2: by the new President Donald Trump in his first part

184
00:09:03,094 --> 00:09:04,214
Speaker 2: of his administration of.

185
00:09:04,174 --> 00:09:04,934
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five.

186
00:09:05,054 --> 00:09:08,134
Speaker 2: They were out there protesting, and whilst they were protesting,

187
00:09:08,734 --> 00:09:11,734
Speaker 2: a lot of really like not good news things, so

188
00:09:11,934 --> 00:09:14,694
Speaker 2: like thousands of federal workers that were laid off and

189
00:09:14,814 --> 00:09:17,894
Speaker 2: all the field officers that have closed down, and entire

190
00:09:17,934 --> 00:09:20,294
Speaker 2: agencies that have shut down, and that they've scaled back

191
00:09:20,334 --> 00:09:24,774
Speaker 2: protections for women's reproductive rides and transgender care and cutting

192
00:09:24,774 --> 00:09:28,454
Speaker 2: fun for healthcare, mass deportations and lots of you know,

193
00:09:28,534 --> 00:09:32,814
Speaker 2: not great news. But the signs that people took to

194
00:09:32,894 --> 00:09:36,574
Speaker 2: these hands Off rallies, Taylor Strano are genius.

195
00:09:36,734 --> 00:09:38,094
Speaker 3: I love a good protest sign.

196
00:09:38,534 --> 00:09:41,774
Speaker 2: They will make you laugh out loud. There is a

197
00:09:41,854 --> 00:09:46,134
Speaker 2: ton of TikTok and Instagram accounts who have highlighted a

198
00:09:46,134 --> 00:09:47,534
Speaker 2: lot of these. If you want to go search for them,

199
00:09:47,574 --> 00:09:49,454
Speaker 2: but I'll give you a few. One was like a

200
00:09:49,654 --> 00:09:52,734
Speaker 2: giant cross stitch and I'm talking probably two meters by

201
00:09:52,734 --> 00:09:56,134
Speaker 2: two meter cross ditch, and the message on it was

202
00:09:56,174 --> 00:09:56,934
Speaker 2: I'm so angry.

203
00:09:57,014 --> 00:09:59,974
Speaker 1: I stitched this so I could stab something three thousand times.

204
00:10:01,254 --> 00:10:04,334
Speaker 3: Wow. That's a way to take out your aggression exactly.

205
00:10:04,374 --> 00:10:05,854
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you're aware of this either, but

206
00:10:06,254 --> 00:10:08,374
Speaker 2: the new tariffs at Donald Trump has put in place

207
00:10:08,454 --> 00:10:11,814
Speaker 2: also include the McDonald and Heard Islands here in Australia,

208
00:10:12,134 --> 00:10:17,134
Speaker 2: both of which are populated almost exclusively by penguins, so

209
00:10:17,654 --> 00:10:20,014
Speaker 2: they're not exporting anything to the US as far as

210
00:10:20,014 --> 00:10:23,094
Speaker 2: we're aware, unless as a Madagascar situation going on. But

211
00:10:23,454 --> 00:10:26,214
Speaker 2: there is a lot of penguin related signs at these rallies,

212
00:10:26,214 --> 00:10:29,454
Speaker 2: like we waddle at Dawn, I stand with the penguins.

213
00:10:29,574 --> 00:10:31,534
Speaker 2: Tax the rich, not the penguins.

214
00:10:31,574 --> 00:10:33,014
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that kind of stuff.

215
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:35,174
Speaker 2: One of my favorites is I can see Russia from

216
00:10:35,174 --> 00:10:37,894
Speaker 2: the White House. If you remember who Sarah Palin is, Oh,

217
00:10:38,214 --> 00:10:40,974
Speaker 2: we'll make you loly I like my government, how I

218
00:10:41,054 --> 00:10:43,454
Speaker 2: like my coffee, not in my vagina.

219
00:10:43,574 --> 00:10:46,254
Speaker 3: I mean like fair to fair.

220
00:10:46,414 --> 00:10:50,814
Speaker 2: Only minority destroying America is billionaires, honk if you've never sloppy.

221
00:10:50,414 --> 00:10:54,454
Speaker 3: Texted warplants, that is one that I did see, and

222
00:10:55,494 --> 00:10:57,854
Speaker 3: I mean, like again, I feel like, yeah, fair.

223
00:10:59,054 --> 00:11:01,614
Speaker 2: There was a Canadian contingent who had a sign saying

224
00:11:01,614 --> 00:11:02,974
Speaker 2: you grabbed the wrong beaver.

225
00:11:04,134 --> 00:11:06,014
Speaker 1: I just finally, I have to finish on this one.

226
00:11:06,014 --> 00:11:08,014
Speaker 2: There was an elderly lady and I'm guessing she was

227
00:11:08,054 --> 00:11:11,614
Speaker 2: probably in her eighties holding up a really big sign.

228
00:11:12,054 --> 00:11:14,694
Speaker 2: I can't say all the words, but it said I'd

229
00:11:14,694 --> 00:11:17,934
Speaker 2: call Trump a sea word, but he lacks depth and warmth,

230
00:11:19,574 --> 00:11:24,174
Speaker 2: like just golf clap for protest signs. You guys nailed it,

231
00:11:24,574 --> 00:11:27,894
Speaker 2: and we are sending thoughts and prayers to our American

232
00:11:27,934 --> 00:11:30,054
Speaker 2: friends who are currently dealing with all of that.

233
00:11:30,294 --> 00:11:32,974
Speaker 3: I never thought Donald Trump would make his way onto

234
00:11:33,014 --> 00:11:35,454
Speaker 3: an episode of the Quickie Good News, but I feel

235
00:11:35,454 --> 00:11:36,934
Speaker 3: like if there were ever going to be a way

236
00:11:36,974 --> 00:11:39,094
Speaker 3: to cover this on Good News, this is how he

237
00:11:39,134 --> 00:11:39,574
Speaker 3: would do it.

238
00:11:39,614 --> 00:11:41,174
Speaker 1: This is it well done protested.

239
00:11:41,414 --> 00:11:45,054
Speaker 3: Finally, this week, Claire something to bring everybody's levels back

240
00:11:45,134 --> 00:11:47,214
Speaker 3: down as we send them off to the rest of

241
00:11:47,254 --> 00:11:50,054
Speaker 3: their weekend. There's been a long understanding of the link

242
00:11:50,094 --> 00:11:54,094
Speaker 3: between scent and memory, but now there is a link

243
00:11:54,134 --> 00:11:59,734
Speaker 3: between scent, memory and your stress levels. Oh explain, nostalgic sense,

244
00:12:00,254 --> 00:12:04,014
Speaker 3: specifically of the food variety, can help boost your mood

245
00:12:04,574 --> 00:12:09,534
Speaker 3: and reduce stress in your body. I'm talking smelling some warm,

246
00:12:09,574 --> 00:12:11,654
Speaker 3: freshly baked pizza is actually good to you.

247
00:12:12,134 --> 00:12:14,854
Speaker 2: So if you're feeling a bit down, a bit stressed, like,

248
00:12:14,974 --> 00:12:17,494
Speaker 2: Getnna to bake up a storm, to take you back

249
00:12:17,494 --> 00:12:19,374
Speaker 2: to your childhood in the kitchen, and that'll make you

250
00:12:19,414 --> 00:12:19,894
Speaker 2: feel better.

251
00:12:19,934 --> 00:12:20,454
Speaker 1: Is that the vibe?

252
00:12:20,494 --> 00:12:23,974
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. So when you smell something comforting, your

253
00:12:24,014 --> 00:12:27,614
Speaker 3: brain's limbic system is what's activated, and that's what helps

254
00:12:27,654 --> 00:12:31,694
Speaker 3: lower anxiety. So freshly baked pizza is a nostalgic smell

255
00:12:31,734 --> 00:12:33,574
Speaker 3: for a lot of people, but not for everybody. So

256
00:12:33,614 --> 00:12:35,934
Speaker 3: you could apply that to so many other things. Maybe

257
00:12:36,014 --> 00:12:41,374
Speaker 3: it's brownies, maybe eats, the smell of baked beans on toast.

258
00:12:41,614 --> 00:12:44,214
Speaker 3: I don't judge. I don't know what your nostalgic smell

259
00:12:44,294 --> 00:12:46,894
Speaker 3: is clear, but for me, my nostalgic smell and it's

260
00:12:47,014 --> 00:12:50,694
Speaker 3: very specific and very strange and it's not actually really

261
00:12:50,694 --> 00:12:54,894
Speaker 3: a smell. Is wet tiles and parmesan cheese not together right?

262
00:12:55,014 --> 00:12:55,374
Speaker 1: Different?

263
00:12:55,454 --> 00:12:56,974
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to get it's a thing.

264
00:12:56,934 --> 00:12:58,934
Speaker 2: Wet tile and parmesan cheese.

265
00:12:58,614 --> 00:13:02,054
Speaker 3: Wet kitchen tiles and parmesan cheese. It lowers my stress

266
00:13:02,094 --> 00:13:05,094
Speaker 3: and anxiety levels because, as I said, the memory is

267
00:13:05,134 --> 00:13:07,494
Speaker 3: so heavily linked to scent. It transports me back to

268
00:13:07,534 --> 00:13:09,854
Speaker 3: a time when I am a little child in my

269
00:13:09,934 --> 00:13:14,574
Speaker 3: nominous kitchen. And so this has just been further solidified

270
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:18,294
Speaker 3: in research recently by not just saying, oh, yep, sent

271
00:13:18,414 --> 00:13:20,774
Speaker 3: memory a link. That's great, They've been able to go

272
00:13:20,854 --> 00:13:22,654
Speaker 3: that step further and say, this is the part of

273
00:13:22,694 --> 00:13:24,934
Speaker 3: the brain that it's connected to, and this is the

274
00:13:25,014 --> 00:13:28,534
Speaker 3: response in your body's nervous system, essentially to lower your stress,

275
00:13:28,574 --> 00:13:29,574
Speaker 3: lower your anxiety.

276
00:13:29,734 --> 00:13:30,294
Speaker 1: Two things.

277
00:13:30,414 --> 00:13:33,934
Speaker 2: One, food scientists actually use this against us, which is

278
00:13:33,974 --> 00:13:37,494
Speaker 2: not probably good news. But if they want to make

279
00:13:37,974 --> 00:13:42,894
Speaker 2: a processed food more enticing for us, they will use

280
00:13:43,094 --> 00:13:45,774
Speaker 2: those kind of sense in order to remind us of

281
00:13:45,854 --> 00:13:48,494
Speaker 2: like that chip that we had when we were a kid,

282
00:13:48,694 --> 00:13:51,574
Speaker 2: or they'll increase a certain part of the smell. So

283
00:13:51,614 --> 00:13:53,814
Speaker 2: food scientists are very aware of this and have been

284
00:13:53,854 --> 00:13:56,294
Speaker 2: cashing in on it for a long time. But I

285
00:13:56,294 --> 00:13:59,534
Speaker 2: feel like that extends beyond food smells, because I definitely

286
00:13:59,574 --> 00:14:01,494
Speaker 2: have like smells that make me.

287
00:14:01,494 --> 00:14:02,854
Speaker 1: Feel really good.

288
00:14:03,694 --> 00:14:06,574
Speaker 2: One of them is the smell of an actual book, like,

289
00:14:06,574 --> 00:14:07,694
Speaker 2: and it doesn't have to be a new book.

290
00:14:07,734 --> 00:14:08,534
Speaker 1: It can be an old book.

291
00:14:08,534 --> 00:14:11,614
Speaker 2: But there is a certain book smell that is so

292
00:14:11,974 --> 00:14:15,054
Speaker 2: comforting and lovely that like, I will often be caught

293
00:14:15,094 --> 00:14:18,334
Speaker 2: with my nose between the pages, having a little you know, inhale.

294
00:14:18,694 --> 00:14:21,534
Speaker 1: And then there's also things like rain.

295
00:14:21,414 --> 00:14:24,734
Speaker 2: On hot ash felt roads, Like there's those real like

296
00:14:24,854 --> 00:14:27,894
Speaker 2: childhood nostalgia smells from when you're out as a kid

297
00:14:27,934 --> 00:14:30,094
Speaker 2: playing in the street and it rained on that hot

298
00:14:30,094 --> 00:14:32,574
Speaker 2: summer day, Like it can transport you to a place

299
00:14:32,614 --> 00:14:36,414
Speaker 2: in time that can either be very traumatic or very.

300
00:14:36,214 --> 00:14:38,134
Speaker 1: Comforting, whichever way you've experienced it.

301
00:14:38,214 --> 00:14:40,854
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, your brain's releasing when it smells those smells

302
00:14:40,854 --> 00:14:43,814
Speaker 3: and the memories are activated. It's releasing things like serotonin

303
00:14:43,814 --> 00:14:46,814
Speaker 3: and dopamine, And so we know that pleasant aromas can

304
00:14:46,854 --> 00:14:50,014
Speaker 3: improve our feelings way up to forty percent, which is massive.

305
00:14:50,454 --> 00:14:52,494
Speaker 3: It's also why a lot of people say when you

306
00:14:52,574 --> 00:14:56,014
Speaker 3: go on a holiday, you should buy a perfume to

307
00:14:56,254 --> 00:14:59,534
Speaker 3: commemorate that memory and that experience, and whenever you sprits it,

308
00:15:00,054 --> 00:15:03,574
Speaker 3: you're transported back to a Mulfi Coast store wherever you

309
00:15:03,654 --> 00:15:05,934
Speaker 3: might have been. I definitely have perfumes like that. And

310
00:15:06,254 --> 00:15:07,934
Speaker 3: if there were ever a reason to shop at Judy

311
00:15:07,934 --> 00:15:12,014
Speaker 3: Free before you jump on a plane, that's one. That's

312
00:15:12,054 --> 00:15:13,974
Speaker 3: all our good news, Clare Murphy, thank you very much.

313
00:15:14,294 --> 00:15:14,934
Speaker 1: Thanks lady.

314
00:15:15,014 --> 00:15:17,934
Speaker 3: We'll do it again next week. Thanks for taking some
