You're doing an amazing job and it does 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: go unnoticed. Okay, and thank you for being such a 21 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: wonderful friend. 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: It's a bit earnest. 23 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: Ai is on point. 24 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: AA is a bit earnest. 25 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: It is a bit earnest. 26 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: It's sounds like something you'd say though, so I'll take it. 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, they call me the AI of humans. Let's get 28 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: into the good news before I turn into a literal robot. 29 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: What do you have for me as the first good 30 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: news story? You wonderful friend. 31 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 2: For this first story, I wanted to highlight the sage 32 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: advice that the world received from the world's oldest person. 33 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: She passed away this week aged one hundred and seventeen. 34 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: I think of the progress she's seen, I mean seventeen years. 35 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: The telephone hadn't been invented when she was born. Her 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: name was Maria Branjas Morrera. She passed peacefully and without 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: pain on Monday, but not before she had the chance 38 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: to share some wisdom on why she believed she lived 39 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: so long. She attributed her long life too, and I'm 40 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: going to directly quote here order tranquility, good connection with 41 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: family and friends, contact with nature, emotional stability, no worry, worries, 42 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: no regrets, lots of positivity, and staying away from toxic people. 43 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: Wow, there's a lot in that, I mean almost. 44 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: Toxic people though. Yeah, I mean it's such basic advice, 45 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: but it's just to hear someone say that who has 46 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: seen so much and that, you know, reflecting back on 47 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen years. That is what she's identified 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: as the key to her longevity. She did add though, 49 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: I think longevity is also about being lucky, luck and 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: good genetics. I think, you know, all of that taken together, 51 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: she just really gave the world the grandmotherly advice we 52 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: all needed this week. I was looking at Marera's Twitter 53 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: this week before she passed. She was tweet. I mean, 54 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if it was her or her family, 55 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 2: someone was keeping this ex Twitter whatever we want to 56 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 2: call it, account going, and her bio description read I'm old, 57 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: very old, but I'm not an idiot. 58 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: She certainly has a way with getting to the point, 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: whether it's in the life advice or the Twitter biot. 60 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: She doesn't had one hundred and seventeen years to figure 61 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: out the best way to communicate, and I think she's 62 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: nailed it. And you know what legendary advice to move 63 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: forward into this weekend. 64 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: With unbelievable Now take me to the world of science. 65 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,279 Speaker 1: You've got something for me on wildfires. 66 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's always great that we're never short 67 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: of good news stories from the science world, and this 68 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: week it's thanks to a group of researchers from Stanford University. 69 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: They've developed a sprayable gel that creates a protective shield 70 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: for buildings from wildfire damage. So I read this whole 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: report that said, amid ongoing climate change and the fact 72 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: that everything's getting warmer and that we know wildfires are 73 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: increasing in their intensity, there's this gel that can be 74 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: sprayed on homes and on critical infrastructure and it essentially 75 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: insulates them from these wildfires. I mean, I'd never heard 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 2: of that, and it seems like an incredible discovery. 77 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: That's a really interesting one because we've done so many 78 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: stories on the podcast over the last couple of years 79 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: about you know, insurance premiums going up, how people might 80 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: have to literally relocate from areas that might be at 81 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: higher risk yeah, to wildfires and others. The fact that 82 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: something like this, a scientific innovation, could do part of 83 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: the job in protecting homes and allowing people to stay 84 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: where they are is remarkable. Yeah. 85 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: And I mean, the one thing that went through my mind. 86 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: Is is it really toxic? 87 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: Because anything that can withstand fire, you'd presume would be 88 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: pretty toxic. 89 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't lick it. 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: It turns out it's actually not toxic. 91 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: It's lickable. 92 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: I mean, wouldn't try it, But they said that the 93 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: gels aren't bad for people or the environment, so I 94 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: think that that's a big bonus. Will say though, that 95 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: they are now working on some additional optimization of those gels, 96 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: but they're hopeful that they can test the new discovery 97 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: soon and basically ensure that critical infrastructure can be better protected. 98 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 2: Next timmer Al fire hits. 99 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: That's an amazing one that kind of takes something that's 100 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: not a good news story and gives a bit of 101 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: a positive spin. 102 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: To it and well, I'm going to do the same thing. 103 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Story is kind of along those lines. It is. 104 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that this is probably a nice 105 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: way to do news stories because, as we have spoken about, 106 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: the news often focuses on the bad part of a story. 107 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 2: But I think that there is you know, silver lining 108 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: in many stories, and this is one of them. So 109 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: earlier this month we have spoken about at length on 110 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: this podcast and also on The Daily Ozz's instagram. Austrian 111 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: authorities thwarted a planned terrorist attack at a Taylor Swift 112 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: concert and this was news that really rocked the world. 113 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: I mean, the pure joy that can easily be identified 114 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: at any Taylor Swift concert was just so shockingly undercut 115 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: by those people who wanted to do harm and thankfully 116 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: they were unable to because it was thwarted early. But 117 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: the silver lining of this is that Taylor Swift's music 118 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: was still heard in Vienna this week, and that was 119 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: thanks to another one of the biggest pop groups in 120 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: the world, Coldplay. So in one of their concerts this 121 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: week to a absolutely packed stadium of adoring fans, Coldplay 122 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: in Vienna exactly, Coldplay performed love Story, which is of 123 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: course one of Taylor Swift's biggest songs. Preparing the audience, 124 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: Chris Martin, who is of course the lead singer of 125 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: Cole Play, said, we sing this song with so much 126 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: love for Taylor, with so much love for Swifties. This 127 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: is only love for all people. I'll play you a 128 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: bit of that Love Story performance we start now. I 129 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: must say, I think we should leave it to Taylor 130 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: to sing Love Story moving on, But I just thought 131 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: that in the face of such darkness, the light of 132 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: music and of course of the industry actually coming together 133 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 2: to support one another. It was just a beautiful moment 134 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: to highlight. 135 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: And alongside those scenes of people singing on the streets 136 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: of Vienna on the nights. I think that the concerts 137 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: were meant to go ahead. Obviously people had flown in 138 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: from all parts of Europe and traveled from all parts 139 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: of the country. That was also incredibly heartwarming. Absolutely was 140 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: okay for the next story. So it was so nice 141 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: Zara to hear that story of the good people of 142 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: Strathbogie to Strathbogie, the Strathbogians and they're fundraising efforts and 143 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: I really am keen to hear another community good news story. Yeah. 144 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: Well, this week's community good news is again courtesy of Victoria. 145 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: We're going to need to get some other states to 146 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: back it up here, but in Victoria we're going to 147 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: see the first Netbule Marathon hosted and someone got in 148 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: touch with us about this and essentially the event we'll 149 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: see twenty four players compete in a single, non stop, 150 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: eighty four hour match. 151 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: That sounds that terrible newsday. 152 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 2: However, if that athleticism isn't enough, the group will also 153 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: be raising money for four prominent Australian charities. They're going 154 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: to be putting their funds towards Beyond Blue Disability Sports 155 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: Australia Food Bank and the PETERA. McCallum Cancer Foundation. And 156 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: according to the event director Ben Savage, the Netball Marathon 157 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: embodies the true spirit of sport, pushing boundaries while giving 158 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: back to the community. We look forward to showcasing the 159 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: incredible dedication of our players while supporting causes that make 160 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: a real difference to people's lives. I just think this 161 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: is fantastic. I mean, why not do something great for 162 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: your bodies and for your minds and also raise some 163 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: money at the same time. 164 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: We couldn't have called it at a six hour netball match. 165 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: We had to go eighty four hours. 166 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: We is inclusive. Diction. Sam, with your four knee reconstructions, 167 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: I don't think you're participating in anything. Who are doing it. 168 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: The event will be held on September twentieth to twenty 169 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: fourth at Beacon Hills College. I can't wait to hear 170 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: about it.
