Blue Lobster (The Lost Episodes)

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with another episode of the Lost of five Good News Stories. If you've been paying attention on Saturdays, I've been recording these scripts I found in a folder. Apparently I had a whole bunch of episodes for some reason I never recorded, and I can't believe how many there actually are, or why I skipped them, or what even happened. Anyway. Last September, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park announced the first ever ardvark calf had been born at the facility Padme. The mom is described by wildlife care specialists as intuitive, nurturing and patient, is often seen nursing and grooming her calf.

0:45 The calf is said to be strong, confident, and curious. The zoo said mother ardvarks typically raise their young until they're old enough to forge on their own, which is about six months. So let's count on our fingers. October November Sember January February March. Yeah, we're past that, because this is a lost episode. Ardvarks may eat up to fifty thousand insects in a single evening. Wow. The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance reminds us that ardvarks are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of threatened species currently at risk in the wild due to hunting and habitat loss. Another lost story from September Plenty Unlimited Open the world's first scalable vertical strawberry form in the US. Vertical strawberry form sounds like a lyric from the nineteen sixties, doesn't it. The indoor form in Richmond, Virginia grows crops in vertical stacks. It's meant to maximize space, yield better crops, and allow production all year round. The Plenty Richmond form is designed to produce more than four million pounds of strawberries annually and less than forty thousand square feet by growing vertically on thirty foot tall towers.

1:50 Now speak of strawberries over the weekend. So I make smoothies, bananas and strawberries, little almond milk. I got to the end of a strawberry package without any of the strawberries going bad. I don't think that's ever happened, So that's good news for me. That's a bonus story. The Virginia Farm Bureau tells us strubberries or one of the States leading fruit exports behind cherries, grapes, peaches, and apples. So it's top five. Boy. The scientists with the AI are doing amazing things. A new AI device detects high blood pressure through voice recordings. Researchers at Click Labs can predict chronic high blood pressure simply by using voice recordings. The technology could detect hypertension sooner, helping people get diagnosed and treated more quickly and therefore reducing risks of heart attack and stroke. The AI analyzes hundreds of vocal biomarkers that are indiscernible to the human ear. The markers include things like variability and pitch patterns, and speech and energy distribution.

2:47 Also the sharpness of sound changes accuracy eighty four percent for female participants, seventy seven per males. Wow, this is amazing. Let's check in with record breaker David Rush. What did he do this time? He took a eleven hundred and seventy eight foot five point seventy three inch walk with a running lawnmower balanced on his chin. That sounds like a terrible idea period, What are you doing? Rush said? He struggled with winds after surpassing the previous record would have kept going, but the breeze finally pushed the mower off his face. Here add five good news stories. Remind you don't walk around with a lawnmower on your face.

3:29 No matter even if I tell you a story in an entertainment podcast. Do not put a lawnmower on your face. Good news for a blue lobster who was in the tank of the supermarket, Danielle was walking by with her son who's four years old, and her son goes, hey, that one's blue, and Mom was like, that's weird, and I took a picture of it. She messaged the aquarium in Schenectady and explains, once we contacted the aquarium and had the momentum, I went up to the counter and was like, hey, the aquarium is gonna call you. You might not want to sell that one. The boy is named the lobster Bluey, after the popular cartoon character. But then everybody found out that the lobster was male. So the lobster's name is Bandit, which is the dad from the Bluey cartoons. Now why is it blue? Cassidy Livingstone from the aquarium believes it could be because of diet. In this case. There's also a chance they got more blue in color because of what he's eating, like if they're reading a lot of shrimp, that can cause color treaches and those I here five good news stories for today.

4:27 Back tomorrow with a normal episode. Have a good one.
