0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey it's Johnny Mack with four good news stories and one not so good. Gotta update you on Bobi the Dog. Remember Bobi the dog that was thirty one years old? Well, Guinness says that they no longer have the evidence needed to prove that Bobi was as old as claimed. In a statement, the Guinness World Records say that they had concluded it no longer has the evidence it needs to support Bobe's claim as the record holder. It had been claimed Bobie was thirty one years five months, a dog's life spanning about two hundred and twenty years if you convert to human years. The previous record holder was Bluey, an Australian cattle dog who died in nineteen thirty nine, aged twenty nine years and five months. So I guess Blue is back to being the record holder here. Right after Bobi was crowned, veterinarian experts asked, uh, yeah you sure here? Online photographs of Bobie in ninety ninety nine suggested he had different colored pause to the dog that died in Portugal last year. Skeptics pointed out although Bobe's age had been registered on Portugal's national pet database that was based on the owner's self certification, and they only started chipping pets in two thousand and eight. Genetic testing established that Bobi was old, but not exactly how old. Danny Chambers of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons said that of the eighteen thousand members of the Veterinary Voices group that he runs, not a single one of his colleagues believe Bobi was actually thirty one years old. He said, that's the equivalent of a human living at
1:33 over two hundred years old, which given our current medical capabilities, is completely implausible. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. No concrete evidence has been provided to prove his age. Mark McKinley of GWR says we take tremendous pride ensuring as best we can the accuracy and integrity of all our record titles. Falling concerns is raised by vets and other experts, both privately as well as within public commentary and the findings of investigations conducted by some meat outlets, we felt it important to open a review into Bobie's record. All right, while I've got you here for this bonus episode, let's see what else I can tell you about. An Olympic equestrian metallist has been sidelined for wearing risque manchini uh at a questrian. It may have jeopardized his spot at the twenty twenty four Olympics after he wore a borat like mankini during a recent event. Shane Rose has been sidelined by Equestrian in Australia for wearing the outfit during a show jumpy fancy dress event at the Wallaby Hill Extravaganza. Darren Gosher is the chief executive of Equestrian in Australia. He told The Sydney Morning Herald that complaints were made over Rose's outfit, as he said, there were concerns raised about it. Whether it's one complaint or one thousand, we have an obligation to review it.
2:45 Received a letter with concerns and it was also sent to Sports Integrity Australia. We have an obligation under our Code of Conduct review if that happens. He hasn't been sanctioned and he hasn't been suspended. He's been stood down from the competition while review and we've committed to getting their view done this week. I'll keep you updated on that. Huh, Shane told the Herald my phone went nuts no pun after the event with people laughing in things. But I've been told there was only one lady, and I think the words she showed were concerned, not a formal complaint. With a bit of luck, this will all be a laugh in a few days we can all move on. I wore a costume which you could see at a theme park or a beach. Potentially no one has done it on a horse, but there you go. I think I'm a good person and I do a lot for the sport and for people in different situations. I don't feel like I've done anything particularly bad.
3:29 In hindsight, I should have rethought what I did at the time, but I thought it was a bit of fun. Hopefully in a couple of days we can all move on. The first ever prosthetic limb that allows the wearer to sense temperature and feel the warmth of another person has been created. It's called the Mini Touch device that allows amputees to perceive and respond to temperature. It works by transmitting thermal information from the fingertip of the prosthetic hand to the wearer's residual arm. Using the device, an Italian man who's been an amputee for thirty years has been able to differentiate between hot and cold objects with one hundred percent accuracy. That's awesome, Fabrizio said. It was a very strong emotion for me. It was like reactivating a connection with someone. The long term goal here is to make a system where the user can tell if something is soft or hot, or hard and cold. They aim to offer a richer and more natural perception of the tactile world. That's great. Alaskan Airlights flight attendant Amber May has had a couple weird requests over the years.
4:20 Recently, she was asked to keep some flamingo eggs warm. Via statement, She said, a passenger rang the call button and asked if I would keep some eggs warm. The passenger turned out to be a zookeeper from Seattle. She was transporting six flamingo eggs and an incubator, but the incubator stopped working with several hours to go in the flight, flight attendant Amber May filled rubber gloves with warm water. The zookeeper used that as a makeshift nest to keep the eggs warm. May continue to supply water filled gloves as needed throughout the entire flight. A few months later, May received a call from the zoo and was invited to name one of the flamingos. She'd chose Sunny, which was also the name of her granddaughter that had recently been worn. May and granddaughter Sonny were invited to come see the flamingos, and baby Sonny got to meet her namesake up close. Good news. If your iPhone got wet.
5:09 You may have heard the hack where you put it in a bag of rice. I've actually done that and had that work. But Apple says, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Okay Apple, I'll listening, and what's the deal? Because I did the rice thing and it worked. Those are us crazy people that believe the rice things say. The hope is that he grains will absorb the water industry of your phone working condition. However, and Apple support note explicitly warns against this hack. Always listen to Apple over Johnny Mack. Apple says, if your phone notifies you with liquid detected in USBC connector were similar notifications saying something along the lines of charging not available, you should not put the device in rice. All right, don't do that. Apple says that could allow small particles to damage your phone. Presumably these small particles are rice. The company also advises against using an external heat source or compressed air or dry your device like you know, sometimes you might know some stupid person who's used a hair dryer on a phone. I mean, what kind of eddie would do that, right?
6:03 I mean you'd have to be pretty stupid to try that, right. Apple also, don't insert foreign object into the connector. What's a foreign object? Uh, A paper towel or a cotton bud. I don't know what you thought it was. Apple recommends unplugging any cables from your device and waiting until they are completely dry. Tap your iPhone gently against your hand with the connector facing down to remove excess liquid. After at least thirty minutes, try charging it. Apple says if the alert continues to pop up, it's worth leaving your phone in a dry area with some airflow for up to a day. Let me to save you some time. You're gonna wind up at the Apple store. They're gonna be all nice to you. They're gonna take it in the back. They're gonna come back and tell you your phone is fried and you're gonna wind up buying a new phone. How do you know that, Johnny Mac. Maybe that's happened to me, who knows. But if you think I'd try a hair dryer, you'd be crazy. You'd be stupid to do that. Yeah, that's your five good new stories for TAYO four.
6:51 Anyway, I guess we'll have to see who the oldest living dog is. Now, get on that giin us. All right, that was a bonus episode. I'll be back tomorrow on our normal Monday, Wednesday, Friday pattern. Just wanted to let you know about Bobie. See you in the morning.
