How 21 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: did you celebrate your last birthday? 22 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: I've actually got a good answer for this one. So 23 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: I had my birthday right after the movie Challenges came out. Yeah, 24 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: and it was in the midst of Challenges Fevers. So 25 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: we booked an airbnb and we all put on salacious 26 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: tennis outfit, took a bunch of photos. We didn't play 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: any tennis, but the Instagram dump was great. 28 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: Okay, that was like not at all the answer I 29 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: was expecting, because had you asked me, I would have 30 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: been like, oh I didn't celebrate, or I like had 31 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: a picnic in the park. 32 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: You came to work. 33 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: You're extra and we love you for it. But not 34 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: as extra as an one hundred and five year old 35 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: called Hilda Jackson, who celebrated her birthday this year with 36 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: a full blown rave. That's right. The centenarian celebrated her 37 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: birthday party complete with a DJ rave, lighting, UV paint 38 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: and glowsticks good guls. I know, like she's one hundred 39 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: and five and she's partying hard. And it was actually 40 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: organized by the care home that Hilda lives in. They 41 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: hosted it, they organized it. It featured a pop up 42 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: yaegameester bar. I'm not sure who's doing yaga mister shots, 43 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: but hey, each to their own. The party was a 44 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: fitting celebration for Hilda, who attributes her longevity to her 45 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: love of dancing and in case you were wondering, her 46 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: favorite move is jive. It was look, I was thinking 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: about it while I was running. I was like, what's 48 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: her favorite move. Now we know she still does ballroom 49 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: dancing regularly. She said she was recently doing it two 50 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: days a week, but just for mobility reasons, she's had 51 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: to strip that back a bit. But hey, she is 52 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: out there celebrating. She was reflecting on the success of 53 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: her party, and she told The Guardian, I think it's 54 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: been absolutely fabulous. I never expected this at all. I 55 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: knew there'd be some people, but not the amount of 56 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: all the people who came. I'm very, very grateful to 57 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: every single person who has come. It's lovely. 58 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: I know for those listening at home, I'm currently wiping 59 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: away tears of joy. That is the cut story. I 60 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: actually watched this footage yesterday and it was aspirational levels 61 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: of raving. 62 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, go to our Instagram because you can 63 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: watch the rave in real life. 64 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: Zara, Do you think I'll be invited to your one 65 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: hundred and fifth birthday? 66 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: Look, if this podcast has anything to go by, absolutely, 67 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: If my schnitzel eating habits continue, I'm not quite sure 68 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: I'll be in a state to rave at my one 69 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: hundred and fifth. But a girl can dream. 70 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: A girl can dream. I'll see you there. So what 71 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: else have you got for me. 72 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: Okay, So staying on theme, but perhaps a little bit younger. 73 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: We move now to the story of a seventy three 74 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: year old British man who has broken the world record 75 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: for the fastest marathon completed by someone on crutches. On crutches, 76 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: that's all right. Chris Terrell, who has run more than 77 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: fifty marathons in his lifetime, completed a full marathon on 78 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: crutches in six hours, eleven minutes and eleven seconds. Now, 79 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: that time saw him beat the previous world record by 80 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: a whopping thirteen minutes, which is legitimately insane. And I 81 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: also don't know how we get to the space where 82 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: we have world records for crutches and marathons, but here 83 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: we are. 84 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: The Guinness Book must be thick. 85 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: It seriously is. And so Chris was on crutches after 86 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: a hip replacement that was because of a cricket related injury, 87 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: so clearly a very active man. He had registered to 88 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: compete in the marathon before the injury, and look, he 89 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: just figured why not still compete. Crutches aren't an impediment, 90 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: and so he did it, and he did it so 91 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: incredibly well. He said that he hadn't been aware that 92 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: any record had been broken until his running club alerted 93 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: him to the success, and then he was slightly pissed off. 94 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: He said, if I'd known there was a record to 95 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: be beaten, I'd have gone faster. People in the crowd 96 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: who knew me asked to stop and have a selfie. 97 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: If I'd known I was after a world record, I 98 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: would have said, sorry, I'm in a hurry. It's so 99 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: good and you'll be glad to know that Chris has 100 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: made a full recovery. He's in training for his next marathon, 101 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: which will actually take place this weekend. And if you 102 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: couldn't get more impressive, Chris uses his marathons to fundraise 103 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines charities. So yeah, 104 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: a good news story all round. 105 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: Wow, that is some serious bragging rights. I know. It 106 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: sounds like he's very humble about it as well. 107 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: Exactly, and as someone that competed in a half marathon, 108 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: war here we go. Yeah, sorry, it needs to be 109 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: brought up. I literally cannot relate less to a story. 110 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: Well, he said, he's done fifty marathons. He still probably 111 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: doesn't talk about running nearly as much as our editor 112 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: in chief, Billy, who has made her whole personality. 113 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: Look, I think that's the sign of someone who's not 114 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: a regular runner. Like regulars are just they do it. 115 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: They don't talk about it. 116 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: It's the cussion of the sport. 117 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: The rest of us. We just have to be out 118 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: there humble bragging. Otherwise, how will you know that we're otherwise? 119 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: What's the point? 120 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: Could not agree more? 121 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: All? Right, now onto my favorite part of the good 122 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: News Pod. Surely you've got an animal story lined up 123 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: for me. 124 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: I do always have an animal story lined up, and 125 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: this one is moving a bit closer to home. A 126 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: critically endangered bird species has been detected west of Melbourne 127 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: for the first time in thirty five years, with an 128 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: estimated population of around two hundred and fifty. The Plane's 129 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: Wonderer is one of Australia's rarest bird species. Now acknowledging 130 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: the fact that this species is so rare, Zoos, Victoria 131 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: placed dozens of recording devices in grassland habitat where the 132 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: birds were once thought to have lived, and then, after 133 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: analyzing thousands of hours of audio AI software designed by 134 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: Museums Victoria and qut so some local innovation that AI 135 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: identified the bird's unique call at two locations. 136 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 2: Wow. 137 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Researchers were then able to listen to it and to 138 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: confirm the find, and remarkably, it's the first time the 139 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: bird has been documented in the region since nineteen eighty nine. 140 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: There you go. As a Melbourne boy myself, I'm going 141 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: to claim that as a win for all Victorians. 142 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Like so often we talk about these huge innovations and 143 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the incredible technology that's being used around the world, and 144 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: it's so incredible to talk about it in a local setting. 145 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: It's a Melbourne thing, it sure is. All right now, 146 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: I know we like to finish off with a community 147 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: news story. So what have you got for me today? 148 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: We're actually staying in Melbourne, your homeland. So today is 149 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: zero Discrimination Day, which is why I'm so excited to 150 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: highlight a community good news story that was sent in 151 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: this week courtesy of All Things Equal. Now, if you 152 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: haven't heard of All Things Equal, it's a cafe in 153 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: the heart of Melbourne that is transforming the hospitality industry 154 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: through its innovative employment for people with disability. Now, I 155 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: want to quickly provide you with some context to explain 156 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: why All Things Equal is such a necessary and incredibly 157 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: positive step. So firstly, there has been no improvement in 158 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: employment rates for people with disability in Australia over the 159 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: last two decades. That is a really serious figure to 160 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: be talking about. Of two point seven million working age 161 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: individuals with disabilities, just fifty six point one percent are employed. 162 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: That's compared to eighty two percent of people without disability. 163 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: And so with that stage, enter All Things Equal. Since 164 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: opening its doors in twenty two only one the Cafe 165 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: has created twenty eight job pathways for people with disability, 166 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: has an one hundred person wait list to join the team, 167 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: and it's helped eight team members transition into mainstream employment 168 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: ding Dom.
