0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm shunning back with your five good news stories. For the first time, some wild chimps have been recorded indulging in alcohol together. Yeah, they were shown sharing fermented bread fruits in the wild. According to the scientists who documented this on video, the behavior opens up the possibility of the primates could also be using alcohol to bond socially, as one does. The scientists are from England's University of Exeter. They think the sharing of alcoholish food is likely to be widespread among chimpanzees.

0:44 The exact reason chimps are sharing the alcohol lace spread fruit is not yet known. I'm going to theorize either they had a bad day at work or they're on a date. Using hidden cameras, they saw this doing this ten times. Anna Boland is a cologist, to explain mean sharing is linked to social bonding, but also alcohol intake is linked to social bonding, at least in humans. Speaking of beer, we're missing out. You know, a lot of us did an Easter egg hunt for Easter. What we should have done is gone to Belgium. They did a beer hunt. It was the fifth annual beer hunt. One thousand humans searched for twelve thousand hidden bottles of beer. Hidden among the beers was a special golden bottle. If you found the golden bottle, you want a prize. The prize your weight in beer now. The event began with a chocolate egg hunt for children, then the beer hunt started at twelve thirty PM. There was a barbecue one thirty.

1:39 No chimpanzees were invited, but maybe next year we should invite them. A team of four pickleball enthusiasts broke a Guinness World record. What did they do? They played thirty six consecutive hours of matches. I feel like you guys out there could break this record. You'll have to take on the pickle Breakers. That's what they call themselves. They went for their record for four longest marathon playing pickleball. Where'd they do this? Pickler Universe in Carrollton. The previous record was a force and who played for thirty four hours, five minutes and fifty five seconds back in twenty twenty four. At the time of this recording, the video of the thirty six hour attempt was being looked over. They did raise over eighteen thousand dollars for the Tailor's Gift Foundation, a charity supporting organ donation and providing aid to families who decided to donate the organs of their loved ones.

2:28 I'm an organ donor. I'd encourage you to do the same. Here's an amazing story. A two year old was reported missing in the Arizona Desert and was found thanks to a dog named Beuford. Bowden had wandered off his parents' property. Ranger Scottie ran into Boden and asked him did you walk all night long? And the boy said no, I slept under a tree. And the ranger said, well, did my dog find you? And he goes, yeah, and he said he followed the dog back to the house. The ranger knew that the child had been reported missing and was grateful to be able to find him. The ranger points out there were about one thousand ways for that to go really really bad and one good way, and luckily it turned out to be the good way. Buford was rewarded with a steak dinner and good news. If you like colors, there's a new color. It's called Olo Olo and it's bluish green. Now, unfortunately, it's imperceptible by the human eye. Now I'm no scientists. I'll try and explain this. As a team at UC Berkeley and the University of Washington, they used laser technology they called oz to quote directly control the human eyes photoreceptor activity via cell by cell light delivery. They explain a normal color vision, any light that stimulates an M cone cell must also stimulate its neighboring L and or S cones because the M cone special response function lies between that of the L and S cones. He's still with me because I'm barely with me that they said. However, oz and stimulation can target light only to m cones. So what's the new color, John? It's described as a blue green with

4:00 unprecedented saturation. If you ask me, it's just a matter of time until somebody figures that out and every sports team is wearing it. Remember when teal wasn't a thing. Are you old like me? Teal didn't exist. Then suddenly, in like nineteen ninety two, they invented teal and every sports team went teal And teal was really cool when it first came out, But like that didn't exist in the seventies. Now you think I'm kidding here, Well, it did exist in the seventies. But a little background here Bonus six that could do stories for you. The first recorded use of the word teal describe a color, was in nineteen seventeen in the book A Dictionary of Color. Although it looks like the Egyptians used it as well, they just didn't call it teal. I'm going home, Well, I am home. I record at home. Enjoy your new color by
