Mammoth Meatballs AND is that a mushroom cake?

0:02 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mac with five good news stories. Hey, good news if you'd like to eat mammoth meat, because they've brought back mammoth meatballs. It's been a couple of thousand years since you've been able to have mammoth meatballs. But on Australian Cultivated Meat company is resurrecting the flesh of the long extinct animals. Is this a good idea at all? Maybe what they're trying to do is to remove the need for animal slaughter and meat production by creating new kinds of meats in the process. To do this, they've created lab grown, edible meats from cells, including a meatball made from mammoths. Tim who works at the company, said, we chose the wooly mammoth because it's a symbol of diversity loss and a symbol of climate change. They took a DNA sequence from a mammoth myoglobin, which is a key muscle protein for flavor. Any gaps were filled in by elephant DNA. Obviously it tastes like chicken. Hey, good news for Amanda. Your boyfriend Chris, you know he's over there on the rugby field. Looks like he broke his leg.

1:00 He's fine. You see what happened was Chris choreographed a rugby tackle with his whole team. So he goes down on the pitch. Amanda, newly trained in first aid, thought it was serious, so she came over on the field, and then Chris rolled over on one knee and pulled out and engage her ring. Amanda thought Chris had a broken leg when it got up. I thought he must have been in shock. But then he got on one knee. I was very, very surprised, Chris said a man. I knew something was coming I wanted to do in a way she wouldn't expect. If I'd booked a trip somewhere, she would have guessed what was going on. I was a bit nervous. I was worried about what the other team would say. But we were winning by lots. I wasn't a close game. I wouldn't have done it otherwise. Imagine that if it was a close game and they didn't get engaged. Good news for fish. A fish doorbell is saving thousands of fish during migration season.
