We found the 3 sheep you lost 8 years ago PLUS Silent Doritos!

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.759
Callaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack
with five Good News Stories. So starting

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.720
this week, the plan Tuesday and
Thursday five good News Christmas Stories with Aster

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.879
and Me. The other days.
There wasn't a plan to do Fridays,

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.600
but so many new listeners have jumped
on board Welcome, so I thought I'd

5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.440
do another episode on this Friday.
As you know, the noise of chomping

6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.039
on chips can be irritating, especially
if it's in your ear on a zoom

7
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:35.479
call. Well, good news Dorrito's
is on this. They've created Dorrito's Silence,

8
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.000
a crunch cancelation software that removes the
sound of chewing from voice chat,

9
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.840
zoom or any call that uses headphones. Dylan is the lead developer at Smooth

10
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.560
Technology, who work with Doritos,
and Dylan says it works on anything that

11
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.399
accepts a microphone. So I could
sit here and eat chips while doing the

12
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.840
podcast. Let'd be Neat, The
chief marketing officer over at Pepsi COO,

13
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.439
which owns Dorito, says crunch is
one of the most distracting features that could

14
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:03.399
throw someone off their game. Dorito
surveyed more than three thousand people, including

15
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.719
people in China, India, Portugal, Britain, and the United States,

16
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.879
and found the gamers like the snack
while playing. All right, so this

17
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.359
isn't really about the office. It's
about those gamers, and they find the

18
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:17.400
sounds of other people snacking distracting.
Of the two hundred people surveyed in the

19
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.480
US, ninety percent snack while gaming, and the majority said chips are the

20
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:26.079
most bothersome noise. In twenty eighteen, the former chief executive of PepsiCo claimed

21
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.040
that Dorito's was developing a chip for
women, which was intended to be a

22
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.159
low crunch alternative. There was backlash
online and Pepsi said, Ah, those

23
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.560
a misunderstanding. We're totally not making
just for what are you talking about?

24
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.519
And more good news. While the
AI software is trained exclusively on Dourrito's,

25
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.840
it'll work on other crunch sounds.
A new helmet aims to reduce concussions and

26
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.920
surfers, and it's gone viral on
TikTok. After a personal surfing injury,

27
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.599
Davon was inspired to create an innovative
helmet designed to reduce concussions. He found

28
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.680
existing helmets on the market are bulky
and undattractive, more suited for a professional

29
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.040
surfer. The surf Skull aims to
provide a low profile, stylish, and

30
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.599
affordable option for leisure surfers, starting
at just fifty eight bucks. That sounds

31
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.400
quite reasonable to me and I don't
surf, but that doesn't sound like a

32
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.439
crazy amount of money. Surfers are
increasingly at risk for concussions to the growing

33
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.400
popularity of the sport and crowded lineups. The surf Skull is designed to resemble

34
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.479
a bucket hat and it features a
bump cap insert for protection. It's also

35
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.439
available in baseball cap style. Good
news, some new bio hybrid microbots could

36
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.360
remove micro and nanoplastics from aquatic environments. Z's oceans, rivers, and other

37
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.120
bodies of water on Earth have become
increasingly polluted over the past decades. This

38
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.159
threatens the survival of many aquatic species. Researchers in the Czech Republic recently developed

39
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:46.280
bio hybrid micro robots. These robots
integrate biological materials, specifically algae, with

40
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.479
environmentally friendly materials that respond to external
magnetic fields. One of the scientists said,

41
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.120
our micro robots demonstrated remarkable removal efficiency, achieving a high success rate of

42
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.280
ninety two percent for nanoplastics and seventy
percent from microplastics. Good news if you're

43
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.879
cold. The Dutch have figured out
how to keep your warm. Oh,

44
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.360
and it involves the toilet. A
housing corporation in Amsterdam is planning what is

45
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.560
believed to be the first sewer warmth
project that will tap into a main distridge

46
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.240
sewage pipe to warm sixteen hundred existing
social and student homes. Sorry, kids,

47
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.919
they saw a photo of the street. It was covered with snow,

48
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.360
except for the manhole covers. All
had no snow. Drew and Rodenmachers,

49
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.400
the project leader, and said,
even when there's snow in the winter,

50
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.039
the sewer's warm. Warm sewage water
flows twenty four hours a day and we

51
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.800
should capture it. This can happen
wherever there's a big sewage pipe. The

52
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.680
warmth comes from showers, the toilet, waste water from washing, from the

53
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.840
dishwasher, from the washing machine.
Together, it all gets throughout the year

54
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.400
a temperature between fifteen and eighteen degrees
celsius. And we're going to make a

55
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.400
bypass around the main sewer, put
a heat exchange around it and bring it

56
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.120
to the houses and the insulated pipes. Does it smell I'm wondering too.

57
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.840
Do I know the answer of that
one? No? Do I have a

58
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.479
guess? Yes? What is your
guess? Yes? And like everything,

59
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.240
there's a catch twenty two. The
scientists tells us you can't reduce the temperature

60
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.639
there too much because purification works with
bacteria. It's a biological process, and

61
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.479
if the bacteria get cold, they
won't work as hard and our water will

62
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:15.240
be less well purified. I'm not
sure about this plan. Well, good

63
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.800
news. Remember those sheep that you
lost eight years ago? We found them.

64
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.240
A trio of sheep in Australia have
been found in the bush in Victoria,

65
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.839
eight years after surviving a truck rollover. The sheep are named the Three

66
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.680
Amigos Ned Kelly, Mad Dad Morgan
and Harry Power. They've been on the

67
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.319
run for eight years in the Wombat
State Forest. After many sightings from the

68
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.399
public, the team at the Edgar's
Mission Animal Sanctuary was able to pluck them

69
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.399
out one at a time. During
their eight years in the wild, it

70
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.519
is believed they had plenty of access
to grass and water, so there's no

71
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.360
sign of malnutrition. Mad Dag Morgan
his wooly coat. He needs a little

72
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:53.519
cleaning up. A visit from the
shearer is on the way. The folks

73
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.439
at the shelters say when the sheep
reunited for the first time, they clearly

74
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.079
knew one another after a month apart. It was like, hey, dude,

75
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.240
what took you so long. That's
your five good news stories for today.

76
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.120
If you like this program, tell
somebody about it. Maybe they'll like

77
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.360
it too. If you are new, welcome Aboard. Will take the weekend

78
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.000
off and we'll come back Monday with
regular and Tuesday will be Christmas Stories.

79
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.480
Have a great weekend.
