- Devastated by the 2020 bushfires and determined to do something to help, actor and writer Magda Szubanski joined forces with an unlikely partner, teenager Will 'Egg Boy' Connolly. Subscribe: bit.ly/3l7kXcR
Will had been struggling with unexpected fame after footage of him cracking an egg over a former politician's head went viral.
Magda took him under her wing and together the odd couple raised nearly $200,000 which after careful research they directed into art therapy classes for bushfire survivors in the Snowy Mountains region.
Australian Story joins them both on the road as Magda shares her own experiences of family trauma - and lots of laughs - with the Snowy Mountains locals.

Love and respect to Magda and Will and Australian Story for continuing to highlight the best of us.
This brings me so much joy.
Good on Magda and Egg Boy.
May he be forever known as Egg Boy.
Me too, Jayne. I can't stop smiling.
@@suziecheeseman3760 I am so happy that Will will likely be a progressive positive voice for years to come.
@@jaynegrant3133 I know right. Seeing young people like Will growing into the leaders they will become gives me hope for the future.
Seems like Will has a lot more public support than Fraser Anning. Well done Will and Magda 💝
@Emma Your evidence of racism?
@@emcats84 so if your child gets killed by that shooter, is it o.k we blame your child
@@wisammoeali What are talking about in context to claims of racism?
Will is a true Australian hero
I love how people saw and heard Will's authentic concern and are helping him to direct that passion in a much more meaningful way. His egg 🥚 has hatched. Look at him thrive!
Will's mother should be so proud. What a wonderful young man
Magda, what a treasure. Will... respect mate!
Met her a few times rudest person I've ever met amazing how people change for the camera
Great job! They're right, the long term is SO often forgotten! Great to see some attention on it here! These 2 really understand what help is needed
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25
You two are awesome and appreciated.
Magda and this young gentleman.... legends
Thank you so much.

Perfect team.
Egg boy is my hero
Egg boy respect u
Magda, our truly national treasure, and Will bless you both ♥️
Love the program egg boy should get a job.
i love Magda she is amazing, down to earth and modest using her position to help other in need she really is a amazing person, and when the media portray Egg boi in the media they made it look like he did that egging during a media statement about the terrorist attack in New Zealand, they never showed what was really said with his bias racist attitude makes you see things for what they really were and why he got egged.....
why did this awkwardly come across as a weird documentary about magda and a 19 year old getting hitched
@@menufrog that could be it
It’s just the pattern of delivery.
Fortunately it’s a story for good not weird.
@@Slippergypsy 🤣🤣
@@jaynegrant3133 yeah good story, weird start haha
😂😂 it really does .. I’m only 6 mins in at this point. Magda is 40 years older than him 🥴 but I’ll see how this plays out .. 🤔
I like this. I was always confused what this boy was thinking when he did that.
Love this story although i disagree with Australia having the "best", mental health experts in the world? The, only "Experts" in Mental Health in Australia are the Doctors which continually hand out prescriptions to Opioids!
And yet the school mental health program developed here is now being rolled out in the US.
I'm sure there's some average & bad ones, but that doesn't mean we don't have the best as well, hidden up there treating the richest. If these 2 can tap into their skills, that would be awesome!
& we do have very good mental health systems for average people compared to much of the world too!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
No Magda not for me. But good luck to you all for supporting her
Why can’t we focus on the person not their weight
Ignorance Elissa. Such a shame, isn't it?! ✌
Some one should tell her theres only a Two Ton Weight Limit on the shoes she wears.
Where did the weight discussion come from? I didn't notice anything in the show about it & above you in the comments there's no mention either, you're the first. Maybe things have changed in the 2 months since you wrote that?
I don't need help leave people alone
Excuse me what?
Sam neill?! ultra dilf
Typically Australian, and New Zealand.., and Tasmania.
Lol
I like the efforts, its more then 99% would do, but im curious did that entire gofundme go to a art class most trama victims wouldnt attend? and how do art classes possibly cost that much? especially pre school pottary , , something isnt right when people selling art end up with 180k so they can do a couple pottery classes, that was actually intended to help bushfire victims through the trama of loosing everything they spent thier life working for, its just a assumption but this video dosent give me much else to go off.
I wonder if they’re still friends now eggboy attends the freedom protests?
Not any more lol.
"Unlikely" , get a grip
Did he ever kill an innocent. Did death always fit the crime ? I am sure he must ask himself this every day. Don't glamorize it with victimehood.
oh seriously - stop the world, I really really want to get off.
Wasn’t Magda the face of Jenny Craig? What happened?
Sad truth is, weight loss and maintenance isn’t just as easy as being in a retail support program.
It’s much deeper.
Who cares she's a cool chick
go away. you are not needed in the future.
Magna thinking petty good deeds will compensate her major sin against her creator . Yeah nah !
