1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Already and this is the Daily This is the Daily OS.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Oh now it makes sense.

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: Good morning, and welcome to the Daily OS. It's the

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: Good News Podcast. On Saturday, the fifteenth of March. I'm Sam,

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm billy.

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: Wait before we start, Happy birthday to Will I Am

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: and Eva Longoria. I mean, what an incredible day to

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: celebrate a birthday.

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: Two visionaries.

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Thought I'd just throw it in there.

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: I feel like you're a sucker for a celebrity birthday.

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I love a celebrity birthday. Yesterday it was Albert Einstein.

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Today it's Eva Longoria and Will I Am.

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: We will get to today's good News stories in a minute,

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: but just let's just remind ourselves that Albert Einstein's birthday

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: is also on International Pie Day.

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: I love that you're telling me this, as though I

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: didn't tell you this.

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: This was a billy.

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: It's such a good fun fact. So his birthday, he

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: was born on the fourteenth of March, which in the US,

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: because of how they do their dates, is three point

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: one four which math nerds out there will note that

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: that is how the number of pie starts.

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: And I guess that makes sense because if you think

26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: about my birthday I share it with Taylor Swift to

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: Rocks Days. So you know, birthdays tell us a lot

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: about who these people.

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Are who said that Destiny doesn't exist.

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: Destiny and her children. Now, let's go Destiny's child shocker. Aha,

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: let's leave that. We're gonna leave that.

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: It's gone very row.

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: Billy. Let's go to some good news stories first. Now, Billy,

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: you're gonna tell us this first story, and it's about

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: an Australian man who's become the first in the world

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: to be discharged from hospital with a mechanical harsh implant.

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, so just to repeat that, So there is

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: an Australian man in Sydney who has become the first

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: in the world to be discharged from hospital with a

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: mechanical heart implant. To be clear, Sam, you and I

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: had a quick chat off Mike and you said that

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: you were expecting this man in New South Wales to

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: be walking around.

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: Like a robot, like fully beeping at the Yeah, that's

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: my vision.

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: No, that's not happening. So the artificial heart, to be clear,

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: it was only temporary. So the implant took place in

48
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: November last year and he was discharged with the artificial

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: heart in early February, but then the patient he received

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: a real heart transplant in early March. So the idea

51
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: was that the artificial heart was only in his body

52
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: whilst they waited for a real heart to be ready

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: to go in him. Hoes, that makes sense.

54
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we know how hard it can be for

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: organ donation and the limited time periods and the travel

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: and the ways that it needs to be kind of

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: the perfect medical match. Yes, so it's quite amazing that

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: they've found a way to almost kind of extend that

59
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: time frame with this sort of technology. Yes.

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: So it stayed in him for one hundred and five days,

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: which is the longest period in the world for a

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: total artificial heart to be in a patient while again

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: they wait for a heart transplant. Now by the Core,

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: the American company that developed the total artificial heart, which

65
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: is what it's called, said that the heart is a

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: bridge to keep patients alive until a donor heart transplant

67
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: becomes available.

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: So the technology isn't built to be a permanent heart.

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: We're not quite at that stage just yet, but you

70
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: imagine that that's probably only a couple of decades away.

71
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I imagine that is the long term goal, but

72
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: at the moment it's a way to make sure that

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: when there is a shortage that a person obviously can

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: still live with an artificial heart in their body, because

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: there are only six thousand donor hearts available globally each year.

76
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: It would have been amazing to understand how he felt

77
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: with that artificial heart in that one hundred and six

78
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: day period. You know, what the rest of his body

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: would feel like, how he would feel like when he

80
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: was walking and talking. What a fascinating medical innovation. And

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: I do think that if there has been a successful

82
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: experience here, that we're going to see more and more

83
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: of it. And how cool that it's all coming out

84
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: of Australia.

85
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: All coming out not just Australia, but New South Wales.

86
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: I mean, wow, what a medical system.

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: We are biased towards our own city, our own state,

88
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: but that's okay, we can forgive ourselves for that. Okay,

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: we are going to space. What do you have to

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: tell us about what's happened in space this week?

91
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: Well, there's nothing like discovering a new moon. There's nothing better,

92
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: I'd say, But you know what is better? Discovering one

93
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight of them, and Saturn now has

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: a total of two hundred and seventy four moons after

95
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: astronomers discovered one hundred and twenty eight new moons orbiting

96
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: the planet this week, and that means there is a

97
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: new moon king. It was previously Jupiter, it is now Saturn.

98
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: Astronomers from France, Canada, Taiwan, and the US we're monitoring

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: the sky around Saturn for a couple of years between

100
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one and then again in

101
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. And they released this discovery to the

102
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: public last week, and they said these moons are only

103
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: a few kilometers in size and are likely all fragments

104
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: of a smaller number of original moons that were broken

105
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: apart by violent collisions. Regardless of how we got there,

106
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: Saturn is the new moon king. It now has almost

107
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: twice as many moons than all the other planets combined.

108
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: And Jupiter is now going to have to get used

109
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: to being in second place.

110
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: Wow, and what's Earth last place? We only have one?

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: I do just have to stop you right there. Fact

112
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: checking is a really important part of what we do

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: here at TDA Astronomy. Not so much so I did

114
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: just want to do a live Google search on that,

115
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: and it does turn out that Mercury and Venus don't

116
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: actually have a moon. So we're sitting not at the

117
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: bottom here on Earth. We've got our moon. It's something

118
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: to be proud of.

119
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: Blessings.

120
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, not as many as Saturn, but that's okay. Now, Billy,

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to you about a new index

122
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: that has come out this week, and it was the

123
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: search for the world's most family country. And the inaugural

124
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: winner of this title is Sri Lanka. So the index

125
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: assessed twenty four different factors and the factors that they

126
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: gave high priority to in creating this list was the

127
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: cost of childcare and schooling, the average number of years

128
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: of education completed, then some more general factors like social support, freedom,

129
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: life expectancy, crime rates are the happiness indexes and Sri

130
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: Lanka ranked first because it has a really low cost

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: childcare and schooling system that produces some incredible outcomes. Just

132
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: for the record, Australia ranked in ninth place, and essentially

133
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: we dropped those places because of the relatively high cost

134
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: of childcare and schooling. Here, Sri Lanka has achieved near

135
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: universal enrollment at primary and lower secondary school levels, So

136
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: basically any kid in Sri Lanka is part of the

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: education system. Ninety two percent of the population aged fifteen

138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: above is literate, and when you take all of that

139
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: into context with the lower socio economic status of the country,

140
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: it really is a remarkable indication of the strength of

141
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: the education system there. I do think it's important to note,

142
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: even though this is a good news podcast, that Shri

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: Lanka is a country that has endured a number of

144
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: years of economic insecurity and conflict. This index really emphasized

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: the education system elements of the country. Interestingly, the one

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: thing that the Sri Lankan education system is struggling with

147
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: when I was doing a little bit more reading, was

148
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: the fact that they are not as strong at a

149
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: university level because a lot of their university professors end

150
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: up moving to other countries. And so that's the area

151
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: they've really seemed to have nailed this kind of childcare

152
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: and lower school age system, and now they're really working

153
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: on enhancing their university system.

154
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: And needing to incentivize teachers or professors to stay in

155
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: the country and not book elsewhere exactly. Okay, so that

156
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: is the wrap up of the good news that you

157
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: might have missed from the week. Sam. We always end

158
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: this by looking at recommendations. Do you have one for

159
00:07:59,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: this week?

160
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: Do footy is well and truly back AFL, which is

161
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: my sport of choice, but you know NRL is back

162
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: as well, and both games deserve love and respect, and

163
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: you're viewing. But the thing that's made me really smile

164
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: this week is watching all the clubs put up videos

165
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: of players being told they're about to play their first games.

166
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: And it is just every club tries to do something

167
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: a little bit cute, whether it's you know, a surprise

168
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: announcement in the middle of a training session or some

169
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: fun challenge that the player has to do in front

170
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: of the team, and if they win that challenge, they

171
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: get to play their first game. But then it's always

172
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 2: followed up with a video of the player then calling

173
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: their parents and telling their parents they're about to play

174
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: their first AFL game. And I'm not, you know, the

175
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: most emotional of men, and that.

176
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: I believe you haven't cried since time.

177
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: That brings a slice, not a tear.

178
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: Love it.

179
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: Do you have anything for us?

180
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: I do? This week? In my life has been defined

181
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: by documentaries. I have fallen in love again with documentaries,

182
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: and my favorite one that I've watched I am about

183
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: two years late. But have you seen The Deepest Breath

184
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: on Netflix?

185
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 2: Free diving?

186
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: Right, it's all about free diving, and it follows the

187
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: story of the woman who holds the world record for

188
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: free diving. She dives I'm not going to ruin it,

189
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: but around the one hundred meter mark. It is the

190
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: most extraordinary story. The storytelling of this documentary is just unmatched.

191
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: It's absolutely exceptional. Just you cannot look away from this documentary.

192
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: It was so good. In my opinion, there's nothing better

193
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: than a really good documentary, and this one was just

194
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: one of the best ones I've ever watched.

195
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: We'll throw a link to that in the show notes.

196
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: That's an incredible review of a doco.

197
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Well, it was something I knew nothing about.

198
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: I feel like you were the type of kid who

199
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: would have said, hey, mum, look at me, and then

200
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to hold my breath underwater. And then when

201
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: you bobbed your head up, your mum goes, that's gray, sweetie.

202
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: And then I had a full dance routine.

203
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Well, maybe this is exactly what happened. To the subject

204
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: of that documentary, and here we are decades later and

205
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: she's diving one hundred meters just to try and settle

206
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: a score.

207
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, she's definitely a very very competitive person.

208
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: We're all looking at her now.

209
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: In a very dangerous spot. But yet I cannot recommend

210
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: highly enough.

211
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: That's all we've got for today's episode of the Good
