00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:08.839
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories, and I'm
2
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.279
starting today with good news for me. Now, you might find me passed
3
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:16.160
out on the couch every afternoon around
four or five. Well, the team
4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.359
of scientists has discovered that those who
nap could well be slowing down the process
5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.359
of brain aging by between three and
six years. That's right. It helps
6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:31.079
reduce brain shrinkage. Doctor Victoria Garfield
said there's evidence that the post lunch time
7
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.079
is really good for a nap,
and that evidence comes from previous studies.
8
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.359
So tell my wife I might have
to nap a little earlier. The reason
9
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.920
for that is after lunch you may
be feeling a bit tired and you may
10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.679
need a sort of boosting energy,
a boosting cognition. Taking a short nap
11
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.399
around twelve thirty or around two could
help alleviate afternoon drowsyness, while ensuring your
12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.479
nap doesn't interfere with nighttime sleep.
Doctor Garfield said, in terms of length,
13
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.359
nothing more than about thirty minutes.
There's some evidence for sort of five
14
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.159
to fifteen minutes, but anything up
to thirty minutes is quite beneficial. Anything
15
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:00.799
longer is difficult. Then you're sort
of going too that deep sleep and it's
16
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.719
much much harder to wake up.
A great grandma has revealed her secret to
17
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.400
a long life. She celebrated her
one hundredth birthday. Irene did not celebrate
18
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.640
with a glass of champagne. She
doesn't drink. Instead, she had a
19
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.519
nice cup of tea. She said, I kept thinking I never get to
20
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.480
one hundred, but I've managed it. I've always kept busy and never been
21
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.920
idle. Life's been rough and sumbole. You have to keep going. There's
22
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:23.719
nothing else for it. There's lots
of people worse offt than me, or
23
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.560
rather advice. I've always tried to
be kind and people have been kind to
24
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.319
me in return. I've got a
brilliant family and lots of friends. I've
25
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.359
got a lot to be thankful for. Good news. If you like Barbie,
26
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.439
the movie's coming out soon, and
to celebrate the Barbie movie, Airbnb
27

charge because Ken couldn't figure out how to
31
00:01:53.159 --> 00:02:01.840
put a price on Barbie's Malibu dream
house. I am Patty Callahan, Henry,

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.240
If you're an earless dragon, you're
not extinct, but you probably knew
46
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.039
that. The rest of us didn't
because the last sighting of an earless dragon
47
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.960
was in nineteen sixty nine. What's
an earless dragon? It's a tiny lizard
48
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.120
from Australia's Queensland. Once commonly found
on the grasslands west of Melbourne. The
49
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.120
lizard population took some hits from invasive
predators like foxes and cats. They really
50
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.120
try to find one of them and
they never succeeded, but now they have.
51
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.960
Doctor Jenny Gray said the extraordinary rediscovery
of this critically endangered in cryptic lizard
52
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:44.039

55
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.479
Natalie travel the world competing in bearding
contests. Aaron recently placed second in the
56
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.560
goatee category of the twenty twenty three
World Championships. Natalie also took home first
57
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:08.919
place in the realistic Freestyle category for
beards that are not real. You know
58
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.039
you were wondering, I held that
out for you. Aaron began beard competitions
59
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:18.000
in twenty fourteen after watching a TV
show called Whisker Wars. At the time,
60
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.240
he didn't have a beard. Natalie
said, what's called a whiskey arena.
61
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.279
In the bearding world. You can
either compete in the realistic full beard
62
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.360
or the creative full beards. They
could be made of absolutely anything. For
63
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.800
a realistic beard, I use synthetic
or real hair, but you can make
64
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.079
them from anything like cutlery or bacon. You didn't think I was gonna say
65
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:39.600
bacon. Did you know? It's
not an obvious hobby for a woman to
66
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.600
have, but I absolutely love it. I see so many women come to
67
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.720
competitions with their husbands but don't want
to go on stage. What I love
68
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.279
about is when you put a beard
on your face, you're a whole different
69
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.160
person. You can just go on
stage and have fun. You get to
70
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.000

need a sort of boosting energy,
a boosting cognition. Taking a short nap
11
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.399
around twelve thirty or around two could
help alleviate afternoon drowsyness, while ensuring your
