Speaker 1: this is the Daily This is the Dalyas.

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: Oh now it makes sense.

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It is Saturday,

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: the sixteenth of November.

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: I'm Sam, I'm Billy Sam. I think we are going

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: down to the bottom of the ocean. First, what is

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: happening in the ocean?

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Well, an endangered sea turtle. It was found over a

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: year ago. It's been returned to its native orders in

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico. Now. The total was named after

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: the boat that rescued it. Its name is Boyer and

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: it was found near the Netherlands, that's a long way away,

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: after it became entangled in a commercial fishing boat's net

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: last year. The Kemp's Ridley sea turtle is one of

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: the most endangered species of sea turtle the world, and

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: the little guy got caught in a current and ended

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: up more than eight thousand kilometers away from its native orders.

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: When they discovered it entangled in the fishing net, it

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: was rescued and it was taken to Rossterdam Zoo. There

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: it was nursed back to health, and eventually it was

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: flown to Houston, getting some frequent flyers. This total where

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: it arrived late last month. Then it had some medical

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: tests in Houston, and then when it was feeling and

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: looking healthy, it was released into the Golf of Mexico

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: last week. Now, according to the Houston Zoo, Boye's journey

29
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: is a testament to the power of collaboration and compassion

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: in wildlife conservation, and its return to the Golf of

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Mexico marks a significant milestone for the preservation of these

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: magnificent creatures.

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: I really like that name.

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Boy Yeah, it's a cool one.

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: Hey yeah, I might have to steal that one for

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: my son one day.

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: Wow, this is an inside joker, tda that Billy's got

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: names I think in your notes on your phone for

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: your son. Yeah.

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: Well, people don't like them, but I love them and boy, yeah,

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: that's gonna so it's going.

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: To be there. B O E E R. Which is

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: also great for scrabble Billy. Take me now to another

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: creature related story, this time about a pub.

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: I was so happy when I came across this story yesterday.

46
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: It just feels like the perfect good news story. So,

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: in case you missed it, New York City has a

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: new honorary dog mayor. So you've been hearing a lot

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: about the US election, but you might not have heard

50
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: about one of the other very important elections in the US.

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: So it was a democratic process.

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 2: It was a democratic It was very competitive as well.

53
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: There were a lot of rounds of voting. So his

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: name is Simon. Simon is the dog that has been

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: elected the dog mayor.

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: There's something about a dog given a human name, isn't there.

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just had a dog in the office called

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Steve and I loved it. Now, Sam, can you guess

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: his first policy.

60
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: More running water coming down from taps in a healthy

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: heights to allow for lapping up of drinking.

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: No, his first policy is to make more dogs wear ties.

63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, wouldn't have gone that way. No.

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: Well, actually that is actually not true. But he does

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: wear a tie, and I think it could set a

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: new trend ties as collars. Do you like it?

67
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: I do like it? But why does New York actually

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: need a dog mare?

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: I think it's just some positivity to bring to the community.

70
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: It's just a fun thing. We don't need to ask

71
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: too many questions. They just have it.

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: So we're not going to talk about the fact that

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: the actual mayor of New York is currently being investigated

74
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: for fraud.

75
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: Or no, this is a good news podcast.

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: No.

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: Simon's owner said after the appointment that Simon is excited

78
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: to be a mayor for not just dogs but also humans.

79
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: I quite liked that, and he also added who would

80
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: have thought that a wide eyed rescue dog from Texas

81
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: could make his way to the Big Apple and become mayor.

82
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: So it's a reminder to all of us to dream big.

83
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: It's incredible. I just hope he doesn't have any fraudulent

84
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: scandals around dog treats being slipped under the table or

85
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: anything like that. Billy, I want to stick in the US,

86
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: and I wanted to tell you about somebody that we

87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: actually have talked about through our good news reporting on

88
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: TDA before, and that's iconic country music style Dolly Parton. Now.

89
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Over the years, she has given an insane amount of

90
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: money to improving literacy of young children in the US,

91
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and this week she made headlines for giving four point

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: five million US dollars to launch a new literacy program

93
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: aimed at improving the literacy of young children before they

94
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: enter kindergarten. So this is a program called beginn Bryce

95
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: and the goal is that every child in Nashville should

96
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: start school with an improved reading ability. And so what

97
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: this program does is it creates resources for teachers, for parents,

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: and it delivers books to children. And it's actually part

99
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: of Pardon's Broader Imagination Library initiative. And that's a program

100
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: that provides over three million free books to children under

101
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: five across the United States every single month, and it's

102
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: been going for years now. She has provided get this,

103
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: she has provided two hundred and four forty four million

104
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: free books delivered hard copy to American children over the

105
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: last couple of years.

106
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: That's crazy, two hundred and forty four million books.

107
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of her mission and her thing. Her philanthropy

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: is very focused on that one area, and she's made

109
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: a massive impact in education systems all over the country.

110
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're going to come back home for

111
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: the last good news story. The Victorian government has announced

112
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: it will make pads and tampons free in public places.

113
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: So Victoria was the first jurisdiction to make pads and

114
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: tampons free in public schools in Australia and now the

115
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: products will be available free of charge from vending machines

116
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 2: in public spaces. So the state government said fifty vending

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: machines will be installed in women's, gender neutral and accessible

118
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: public bathrooms across thirty Melbourne locations, and the initiative will

119
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: then be expanded to seven hundred sites next year, with

120
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: machines to be installed at Victorian train stations, libraries, hospitals,

121
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: courts and tape. Sam, I don't know if you can relate,

122
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: but this is an amazing story. I love this one.

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Well. We have reported on these sorts of developments over

124
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: the years, whether they be in Australia or overseas, and

125
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: it's always met by the audience with such enthusiasm and

126
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: such a sense of as if this wasn't happening already.

127
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So that wraps up out for good news

128
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: stories for your weekend before we go, I think we

129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: have some recommendations, Sam, what is yours?

130
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: Well, Billy, I'm actually going to be a bit cheeky

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: and recommend another TDA podcast because it brought me more

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: joy and positivity and feelings of gratitude than any other episode.

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Like I remember for a little while, And that was

134
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Emma's interview that we did yesterday with doctor Richard Scollier,

135
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: who is Australian of the Year. His story of both

136
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: studying and enduring cancer was really a remarkable listen. It's

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: not the uplifting type of positivity you get from, you know,

138
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: watching a stand up routine, but nonetheless it brought a

139
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: huge smile to my face.

140
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: So it's heartwarming.

141
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: It is heartwarming. I'll put it in the show notes

142
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: for you to listen to. It would be good listen

143
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: for after this one. Do you have one for me?

144
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: Okay, well, you've recommended a TDA product, so I'm just

145
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: going to go with that trend. Mine's a little bit selfish.

146
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: It is the TDA game. It is called Picture This.

147
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: It is an emoji riddle game. There are three different

148
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: riddles every single day for you to guess. It's kind

00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,840

00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: little game. It is so fun. I set the riddles
