I'm dropping into your feed with another special 7 00:00:28,254 --> 00:00:31,694 Speaker 1: Saturday treat some more good news. As we know, the 8 00:00:31,774 --> 00:00:35,934 Speaker 1: news cycle can be well, a lot is probably how 9 00:00:35,974 --> 00:00:38,854 Speaker 1: I would describe it nicely. As we know, we're constantly 10 00:00:38,934 --> 00:00:42,254 Speaker 1: hit with headlines that leave us feeling drained, frustrated, and, 11 00:00:42,614 --> 00:00:45,934 Speaker 1: to be honest, sometimes a little bit hopeless. But not today. 12 00:00:46,174 --> 00:00:49,534 Speaker 1: Today we're pressing pause on the heavy stuff and choosing 13 00:00:49,694 --> 00:00:51,694 Speaker 1: to shine a light on some of the good news 14 00:00:51,694 --> 00:00:55,174 Speaker 1: stories that remind us there's still plenty to smile about, 15 00:00:55,574 --> 00:00:58,574 Speaker 1: a little positivity to get you through your long weekend, 16 00:00:58,894 --> 00:01:01,054 Speaker 1: and to spread the good vibes.

Yeah, we don't get 23 00:01:16,854 --> 00:01:18,654 Speaker 1: to touch bas as much so this is the perfect 24 00:01:18,734 --> 00:01:21,814 Speaker 1: environment as always. I would love it if you would 25 00:01:21,854 --> 00:01:22,254 Speaker 1: kick off. 26 00:01:22,454 --> 00:01:26,334 Speaker 2: Are you an egg eater, Taylor Strano? I am me too, 27 00:01:26,414 --> 00:01:29,774 Speaker 2: and I mean of the chicken variety, not necessarily the eggs. 28 00:01:29,774 --> 00:01:32,934 Speaker 2: Are you talking about what the easter variety? Or very timeously? 29 00:01:33,014 --> 00:01:35,374 Speaker 2: And there are other birds that produce eggs that sometimes 30 00:01:35,454 --> 00:01:37,014 Speaker 2: you believe, like quails and ducks, etc. 31 00:01:37,574 --> 00:01:39,214 Speaker 1: I'm an equal egg opportunist. 32 00:01:39,374 --> 00:01:42,774 Speaker 2: I've admittedly don't think I've ever eaten another poultry's egg 33 00:01:42,854 --> 00:01:43,734 Speaker 2: other than a chicken. 34 00:01:43,974 --> 00:01:44,014 Speaker 1: No. 35 00:01:44,854 --> 00:01:47,254 Speaker 2: No, I'm pretty sure I've never Okay, moving on, but anyway, 36 00:01:47,294 --> 00:01:49,414 Speaker 2: fan of a chicken egg. And you may have noticed 37 00:01:49,614 --> 00:01:52,494 Speaker 2: in the last six months or so that the egg 38 00:01:52,534 --> 00:01:56,454 Speaker 2: shells of supermarkets have been fairly bare. Now you're thinking, 39 00:01:56,614 --> 00:01:59,494 Speaker 2: why is this good news? Claire, It's coming all right, 40 00:01:59,694 --> 00:02:01,894 Speaker 2: Just stay with me. It does have been on where 41 00:02:01,894 --> 00:02:03,814 Speaker 2: you live. But for a lot of Ossie's eggshells have 42 00:02:03,894 --> 00:02:07,054 Speaker 2: been understocked, to the point where my local supermarket has 43 00:02:07,134 --> 00:02:09,734 Speaker 2: made that the place for the Easter egg section as 44 00:02:09,774 --> 00:02:12,414 Speaker 2: a bit of a lull because there've been no chicken eggs. Now, 45 00:02:12,414 --> 00:02:14,934 Speaker 2: there's a few reasons for this. One is because a 46 00:02:14,934 --> 00:02:17,174 Speaker 2: lot of bossie farms are recovering from a bird flu 47 00:02:17,294 --> 00:02:19,774 Speaker 2: outbreak which a lot of birds had to be destroyed, 48 00:02:19,774 --> 00:02:23,094 Speaker 2: which is terribly sad. But here's where the good news 49 00:02:23,174 --> 00:02:26,574 Speaker 2: kicks in. People, Oh thank god, Okay, we're ready because 50 00:02:27,214 --> 00:02:31,254 Speaker 2: the laying hens are back. Baby who in the last 51 00:02:31,294 --> 00:02:35,174 Speaker 2: week or so, the eggshelves, whilst not as fully stocked 52 00:02:35,214 --> 00:02:37,974 Speaker 2: as per usual, I start to creep back in with 53 00:02:38,054 --> 00:02:41,214 Speaker 2: some egg cuttons, which is really lovely to see. Now, 54 00:02:41,334 --> 00:02:43,694 Speaker 2: before you say, like, that's not all necessarily good news, 55 00:02:43,694 --> 00:02:46,694 Speaker 2: because we do understand there are conditions under which certain 56 00:02:46,774 --> 00:02:49,814 Speaker 2: hens exist in order to lay eggs which are not ideal. Yes, 57 00:02:49,854 --> 00:02:53,574 Speaker 2: I understand that, but also partly the egg shortage wasn't 58 00:02:53,614 --> 00:02:55,614 Speaker 2: all bird flu because I'm not sure if you're aware 59 00:02:55,614 --> 00:02:59,374 Speaker 2: of this tailor the cage egg is being phased out. 60 00:02:59,654 --> 00:03:02,414 Speaker 1: Yes, I read this, I committed it to memory, and 61 00:03:02,414 --> 00:03:04,374 Speaker 1: then it promptly fell out of my brain. Yeah, but 62 00:03:04,414 --> 00:03:05,334 Speaker 1: that's fantastic. 63 00:03:05,414 --> 00:03:06,894 Speaker 2: Yeah. So what is happening is some of these farms 64 00:03:06,894 --> 00:03:10,574 Speaker 2: are having to change the way that they and obviously 65 00:03:10,574 --> 00:03:13,854 Speaker 2: that requires infrastructure and investment. So it means that some 66 00:03:14,094 --> 00:03:16,174 Speaker 2: of their former cage eggs will no longer be in 67 00:03:16,214 --> 00:03:19,374 Speaker 2: the supply chain, so that also has been contributing to it. Also, 68 00:03:19,454 --> 00:03:21,254 Speaker 2: one of the other reasons eggs are in short supplies 69 00:03:21,294 --> 00:03:24,774 Speaker 2: because we've all become obsessed with protein all of a sudden, 70 00:03:25,214 --> 00:03:28,174 Speaker 2: so like egg is now on everyone's menu. And as 71 00:03:28,294 --> 00:03:30,774 Speaker 2: a personal fan of eggs on toast for any meal 72 00:03:30,814 --> 00:03:32,974 Speaker 2: of the day, I'm all for that. So over the 73 00:03:33,014 --> 00:03:35,934 Speaker 2: next few months, the good news is eggs should be 74 00:03:36,014 --> 00:03:37,534 Speaker 2: back on shelves. 75 00:03:37,414 --> 00:03:40,974 Speaker 1: And while you can as the Easter long weekend continues, 76 00:03:41,014 --> 00:03:42,694 Speaker 1: on each chocolate eggs. 77 00:03:42,894 --> 00:03:46,334 Speaker 2: Oh my god, little fun fact. Many years ago, I 78 00:03:46,454 --> 00:03:50,134 Speaker 2: was really questioning why Easter chocolate tastes better than standard chocolate. 79 00:03:50,254 --> 00:03:52,174 Speaker 2: Of course, and so I send a. 80 00:03:52,134 --> 00:03:55,174 Speaker 1: Message to Cabri. It feels very nerdy. This is the 81 00:03:55,174 --> 00:03:58,414 Speaker 1: good news. Hang on, just dump that everything we just 82 00:03:58,494 --> 00:04:00,574 Speaker 1: talked about eggs. This is the egg story I want 83 00:04:00,574 --> 00:04:01,294 Speaker 1: to hear. Keep going. 84 00:04:01,494 --> 00:04:03,574 Speaker 2: Send a message to Cabri and said, look, can you 85 00:04:03,614 --> 00:04:06,134 Speaker 2: please explain to me why I really like, I enjoy 86 00:04:06,134 --> 00:04:10,014 Speaker 2: your chocolate, but I particularly enjoy your Easter chocolate. Yes, 87 00:04:10,094 --> 00:04:12,414 Speaker 2: it is the exact same chocolate. However, when you tamper 88 00:04:12,534 --> 00:04:14,854 Speaker 2: chocolate to make it into the egg shape, it does 89 00:04:15,054 --> 00:04:15,894 Speaker 2: change its flavor. 90 00:04:16,894 --> 00:04:17,934 Speaker 1: Of course you would ask this. 91 00:04:18,214 --> 00:04:21,334 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't help it. So if you're wondering why 92 00:04:21,374 --> 00:04:24,734 Speaker 2: you are like obscenely obsessed with Easter egg chocolate, it's 93 00:04:24,774 --> 00:04:26,814 Speaker 2: the tempering process it makes it like and the crunch 94 00:04:26,854 --> 00:04:27,534 Speaker 2: you get from. 95 00:04:27,454 --> 00:04:29,454 Speaker 1: Nap Yeah, the satisfying snap. 96 00:04:29,534 --> 00:04:30,894 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all about it. 97 00:04:30,974 --> 00:04:34,734 Speaker 1: I love that. Okay, From eggs to sausage dogs. 98 00:04:34,854 --> 00:04:40,254 Speaker 2: Oh, I love a sausage Yes, I meant to say 99 00:04:40,294 --> 00:04:42,614 Speaker 2: dog at the end of that. Please continue moving on. 100 00:04:43,214 --> 00:04:45,694 Speaker 2: Let me just set the scene. I'm going down to 101 00:04:45,734 --> 00:04:49,094 Speaker 2: South Australia. I think I know where you're going this yep, okay, okay, cool. 102 00:04:49,334 --> 00:04:52,974 Speaker 1: Valerie the Sausage Dog has pulled off a wild survival story. 103 00:04:53,054 --> 00:04:56,534 Speaker 1: We are talking literally over five hundred and something days 104 00:04:56,574 --> 00:05:01,574 Speaker 1: surviving on Kangaroo Island after disappearing from a family camping trip, 105 00:05:01,614 --> 00:05:05,134 Speaker 1: and they have found Valerie alive, safe and well.

That's did 108 00:05:11,614 --> 00:05:14,094 Speaker 2: they actually capture her though? Because I did last see 109 00:05:14,094 --> 00:05:16,654 Speaker 2: that she was caught on CCTV footage from a drone 110 00:05:16,894 --> 00:05:17,294 Speaker 2: if I. 111 00:05:17,254 --> 00:05:20,574 Speaker 3: Remember rightly, Yes, this story is wild, so basically Valerie 112 00:05:20,574 --> 00:05:23,374 Speaker 3: and said humans name's not important because this is a 113 00:05:23,374 --> 00:05:26,334 Speaker 3: story about Valerie, the sausage dog miniature dashound who went 114 00:05:26,374 --> 00:05:29,094 Speaker 3: missing on Kangaroo Island in late twenty twenty two. 115 00:05:29,174 --> 00:05:31,734 Speaker 1: She was there camping with her family.

I have seen 133 00:06:12,214 --> 00:06:14,174 Speaker 2: it written in these recent news reports as like a 134 00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:17,014 Speaker 2: remote island. Look, it's not. It's got lots of people 135 00:06:17,094 --> 00:06:18,814 Speaker 2: living on it. It does have quite a bit of 136 00:06:18,814 --> 00:06:21,534 Speaker 2: farmland and quite a bit of like a beautiful national forest. 137 00:06:21,614 --> 00:06:24,934 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's not built up suburban Australia, but it's 138 00:06:25,294 --> 00:06:27,334 Speaker 2: by all means not a remote island. It has a 139 00:06:27,414 --> 00:06:30,494 Speaker 2: very beautiful gin distillery for you everyone. Oh, okay, a 140 00:06:30,614 --> 00:06:33,054 Speaker 2: gin or two. What is beautiful back kai though is 141 00:06:33,054 --> 00:06:35,174 Speaker 2: it doesn't really have a lot of those introduced predators, 142 00:06:35,334 --> 00:06:37,694 Speaker 2: so like, no feral cats, none of that kind of business. 143 00:06:38,134 --> 00:06:41,494 Speaker 2: But tons of wildlife I'm presuming none that eat sausage dogs. 144 00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:45,094 Speaker 1: Well nod that long they found their way into the 145 00:06:45,134 --> 00:06:47,934 Speaker 1: diet of this sausage dog, Balery was able to survive 146 00:06:47,974 --> 00:06:51,414 Speaker 1: on eating and hunting small little animals, avoiding other predators 147 00:06:51,414 --> 00:06:53,894 Speaker 1: on the island. When they found out she was healthy, 148 00:06:53,934 --> 00:06:56,774 Speaker 1: she was thin but strong and of course wagging her 149 00:06:56,814 --> 00:06:58,414 Speaker 1: tail when she was reunited with her. 150 00:06:58,254 --> 00:07:11,134 Speaker 4: People, Valerie, welcome home, big Golfan Taylor, we're laughing because 151 00:07:11,174 --> 00:07:13,174 Speaker 4: neither of us play golf or watch golf. 152 00:07:13,494 --> 00:07:15,254 Speaker 1: No. I know the names. I know the ones at 153 00:07:15,294 --> 00:07:16,534 Speaker 1: the top. That's all you need to know. 154 00:07:16,774 --> 00:07:19,574 Speaker 2: Well, speaking of which, Rory McElroy might be one of 155 00:07:19,614 --> 00:07:21,694 Speaker 2: the names that you know quite well. The US Masters 156 00:07:21,694 --> 00:07:25,494 Speaker 2: has been happening in Augusta, Georgia. Rory McElroy is a 157 00:07:25,534 --> 00:07:28,774 Speaker 2: player from Northern Ireland. He's apparently very good. He won it. 158 00:07:29,014 --> 00:07:31,414 Speaker 2: He won himself a green jacket, which I hear is 159 00:07:31,654 --> 00:07:34,414 Speaker 2: what every golfer wants to win. Good on you. Seems 160 00:07:34,414 --> 00:07:35,974 Speaker 2: like a great prize for being good at what looks 161 00:07:36,014 --> 00:07:38,374 Speaker 2: like the most frustrating game in the world. But it's 162 00:07:38,454 --> 00:07:40,174 Speaker 2: not his win that we want to focus on here, 163 00:07:40,374 --> 00:07:44,294 Speaker 2: because last week they had their kiddos out on the course. 164 00:07:44,374 --> 00:07:47,174 Speaker 2: Stop it, because they have an exhibition day that traditionally 165 00:07:47,174 --> 00:07:51,254 Speaker 2: happens before the Big Open. Right, So, Rory McElroy's little daughter, Poppy, 166 00:07:51,494 --> 00:07:54,014 Speaker 2: who is four, is out on the golf course with 167 00:07:54,094 --> 00:07:56,694 Speaker 2: her dad, with her tiny little golf club, which is 168 00:07:56,814 --> 00:08:00,734 Speaker 2: so freaking cute. Anyway, in this news footage that I watched, 169 00:08:01,294 --> 00:08:05,574 Speaker 2: little Poppy is lining up a put. Okay, it seems impossible. 170 00:08:05,654 --> 00:08:09,494 Speaker 2: She's quite far away, she's tiny, She's not gonna make it. 171 00:08:09,694 --> 00:08:11,814 Speaker 2: She's holding the club like you imagine a four year 172 00:08:11,814 --> 00:08:14,094 Speaker 2: old holds a golf club.

I did give Pokemon Go a 199 00:09:28,254 --> 00:09:30,734 Speaker 2: go when it was a thing a couple of years ago. 200 00:09:30,894 --> 00:09:31,894 Speaker 1: Did you Pokemon Go? 201 00:09:32,014 --> 00:09:33,734 Speaker 2: I did, And I remember doing it with my work 202 00:09:33,734 --> 00:09:35,614 Speaker 2: colleagues as were walking to a meeting one day and 203 00:09:35,614 --> 00:09:38,574 Speaker 2: they were like, what is happening? But I was like, 204 00:09:38,614 --> 00:09:40,574 Speaker 2: there's a Charaza down this drive. 205 00:09:40,694 --> 00:09:44,694 Speaker 1: You don't understand, mom, the real me. Well, to bring 206 00:09:44,734 --> 00:09:49,214 Speaker 1: it back down to its core, Pokemon or not really 207 00:09:49,414 --> 00:09:52,854 Speaker 1: unofficial off license. A Japanese town have created trading cards 208 00:09:52,894 --> 00:09:57,294 Speaker 1: featuring local middle aged and elder men, so Pokemon cards 209 00:09:57,334 --> 00:10:01,774 Speaker 1: trading cards of the old men in their town, and 210 00:10:01,854 --> 00:10:05,094 Speaker 1: it's seen a surge in volunteerism and deepening respect for 211 00:10:05,134 --> 00:10:05,854 Speaker 1: their elders. 212 00:10:05,934 --> 00:10:08,374 Speaker 2: Can I just say Japan does aging in a way 213 00:10:08,414 --> 00:10:10,374 Speaker 2: that I have never seen a big fan I went 214 00:10:10,414 --> 00:10:12,854 Speaker 2: to Japan last year. I know it's very named droppy, 215 00:10:12,974 --> 00:10:17,374 Speaker 2: but like they hire older people to do jobs like 216 00:10:17,654 --> 00:10:21,414 Speaker 2: gardening or street sweeping or crossing guards. Like they're still 217 00:10:21,494 --> 00:10:25,174 Speaker 2: so involved in their community. Rather than just allowing them 218 00:10:25,174 --> 00:10:29,014 Speaker 2: to be shuttled off somewhere lonely and isolated. And they 219 00:10:29,054 --> 00:10:31,694 Speaker 2: celebrate women when they hit menopause, like it's of such 220 00:10:31,734 --> 00:10:33,494 Speaker 2: a different cultural view of aging. 221 00:10:33,654 --> 00:10:36,374 Speaker 1: Well, this is another feather to that cap. Then there's 222 00:10:36,414 --> 00:10:39,254 Speaker 1: a forty seven card collection for this one particular town, 223 00:10:39,294 --> 00:10:43,174 Speaker 1: featuring members of the community like sober Master mister Takeshita, 224 00:10:43,774 --> 00:10:46,694 Speaker 1: he's an eighty one year old noodle maker brilliant, and 225 00:10:46,734 --> 00:10:49,534 Speaker 1: mister Fuji, who was a sixty seven year old former 226 00:10:49,614 --> 00:10:52,694 Speaker 1: prison guard turned volunteer. So basically, the kids have gotten 227 00:10:52,694 --> 00:10:54,294 Speaker 1: their hands on these in the town and they've gone 228 00:10:54,374 --> 00:10:57,814 Speaker 1: nuts for it. They're trading cards, they've assigned special abilities 229 00:10:57,854 --> 00:10:59,574 Speaker 1: to each of the men. 230 00:10:59,414 --> 00:10:59,814 Speaker 2: On the car. 231 00:11:00,654 --> 00:11:03,374 Speaker 1: Mister Fuji now gets stopped for autographs. He's turned into 232 00:11:03,414 --> 00:11:06,334 Speaker 1: a local celebrity. I love this story. 233 00:11:06,614 --> 00:11:07,694 Speaker 2: That is super cute. 234 00:11:07,734 --> 00:11:10,614 Speaker 1: They've also seen like a sur in people signing up 235 00:11:10,614 --> 00:11:13,734 Speaker 1: to volunteer with their elder generation in the town. So 236 00:11:13,814 --> 00:11:15,894 Speaker 1: that was the point in having these cards, was to 237 00:11:16,094 --> 00:11:18,134 Speaker 1: put these people on display, give them bit a street 238 00:11:18,134 --> 00:11:21,054 Speaker 1: cred amongst the young folks. And it's worked. It's returned 239 00:11:21,054 --> 00:11:21,734 Speaker 1: in tenfold. 240 00:11:21,974 --> 00:11:25,094 Speaker 2: You go labor government, there's a strategy to get the 241 00:11:25,174 --> 00:11:28,414 Speaker 2: elderly people a little bit more involved in community and 242 00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:31,614 Speaker 2: people volunteering and getting out there.
