What did I do with that 3,000-year-old bracelet?

I don't know. It's around here somewhere. It's vanished from Cairo's Egyptian Museum. Officials said that the piece was adorned with spherical, lapsie, lazuli beads, which are beautiful, belonging to King Amenemope. A, M-E-N-E-M-O-P-E. Okay, so that one sounds like that. And then my other girl. I'm an M-O-P-E. Okay, so whatever the king wants, I guess.

It's either king or king. Am an M-O-P-E. Yeah, either one. He is from the third intermediate period. So it disappeared. from a restoration lab where staff had been preparing it for transport to an exhibition in Rome. Okay. So then it just came out missing.

Photographs of the missing artifact were circulated to all airports, seaports, and land crossings to block smuggling attempts. The museum's director general warned that some images online show different objects, not the missing bracelet. Yeah, disinformation, misinformation. lies. The ministry said it delayed announcing the theft to avoid compromising the ongoing investigation. A special committee is now auditing artifacts in the museum and their restoration lab to confirm that nothing else is missing. Yeah, maybe it was just deep pocketed or somebody threw it away. What is this old piece of junk? You'd think that they'd have more respect for the old pieces of junk there at the museum in the restoration lab.

But nope, not today. So the bracelet belonged to Pharaoh MMMMOPA, or however he wanted to be pronounced, who reigned from 993 to 984 BC. It was only about nine years in Egypt's 21st dynasty. French Egyptologists Pierre Mondet and Georges Goyne goyne uncovered his tomb in 1940, but excavation was postponed until after World War II. His burial is one of only three fully intact royal burials ever discovered in Egypt. Okay. So the Lapsus Lazuli, the deep blue stone adorning the bracelet, was revered in ancient Egypt as a symbol of the gods and thought to carry

healing powers. All right, and they still haven't found it. They don't know what happened to Now, remember back in 2010, the Vincent Van Gogh, poppy flowers, valued at 55 million, was stolen from Cairo's Mohamed Mahmoud Khalil Museum. That has not been recovered yet either. Yeah, I know. And then they had a theft in 1977 as well. And that has not been recovered yet either. So if you know someone that's trying to hawk, you know, maybe at the thrift store or the pawn shop,

check it out. You might be able to get a good deal on the 3,000-year-old bracelet that belonged to King Amenemope from the third intermediate period. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I mean, as long as we started out with crime, we might as well continue on. This could be one of my favorite crimes as of late. It's kind of like a made-for-TV crime. So authorities in Orlando, Florida,

are looking for a man who appeared decked out in scuba gear in connection with a robbery at a popular Disney-owned entertainment area. So deputies were called to the paddlefish restaurant just after midnight on Monday. If you're listening live, today is Thursday, the 18th of September, 2025. and they say the victims said the man entered the restaurant

took the cash and left. No one was injured. The restaurant was closed and he took the money and then he swam away. So apparently he scuba dived in. He scubaed in and climbed to board, took his mask off, took his flippers off. Then we went into the office and he

the restaurant was closed. They were wrapping up for the night and a couple of employees were standing in the manager's office when the man showed up in his blue beanie black mask and wetsuit, and he barged in, pushed them into the corner of the office, ordered them down, tied some employees up, then made them close their eyes, and he went to the safe and stole cash from the safe

about $10,000 to $20,000, according to the incident report. So, but it doesn't say whether the safe was already open and they were just standing there in the office, putting the daily money into the safe, or if he knew the combination, if he made someone open it for him, it doesn't say any of that. But then he left.

And he just popped back into the full scuba gear and swam away. That's made for TV crime right there. I mean, that's almost a canon. Tonight's episode, Underwater. Okay, I think I want a pair just to say that I have a pair and I want to see how they actually work

and how it affects you in real life. Facebook, Mehta, Zuckerberg, introduced the newest AI-enabled smart glasses at Mehta's annual Connect conference. Now, we've talked about the glasses that were coming out, but they are now out, okay? And they're about 800 bucks a piece, a pair. And it's the Rayband Display Glasses.

Now, these glasses feature display on the right side that show texts alerts apps photos and even live translations they're controlled by a neural band worn on the wrist to detect hand motions which according to this i did not watch the uh meta's fall lineup show uh apparently it mostly worked when zuck was doing the live demo except when he tried to pick up a video call so maybe it's not perfected yet or something isn't quite right, which would mean that it wasn't perfected yet. So they'll be available at the end of this month for $800. He also introduced the Rayban meta two glasses as well as the model of smart Oakley glasses.

Yeah, I aimed at sports enthusiasts, which we had talked about. Now, I know that this, they want to, you know, this is AI and it's investing heavily in AI that make it work in the real world. And it goes back, I said we should all wear a helmet, right? because then you have the information on that screen and you'll be able to actually look out live so you're not just looking through the glasses. It's pretty much the same thing,

except I like the helmet idea better because then you have audio and the screen is bigger, but whatever. Everybody makes fun of me. Everybody's going to wear a helmet all day? Yep, I think that's the case. Anyway, the original studies with these glasses, people had a real problem adjusting back and forth.

forth between what was on the screen, what was on display on your right side, and, you know, going back to live. So you have the glasses on and you're reading alerts and you're reading, you know, you're looking at pictures or whatever you're doing from the internet that's on your glasses and you still are trying to participate in real life. I don't see people driving with those, at least I don't see people driving safely with those. Even just walking down the street seems Man, it just seems like there's too much trouble. Those were the original studies. So maybe we've gotten new studies that I have not seen

that have talked about how people are adapting going from what's on the screen on display and your right side back to live between either your both eyes or your left eye. Because when you look at that right screen, I guess you're focusing just on your right eye is taking that information, right? but you're still using both your eyes so you're processing between live and what's on the screen

and i i don't know i just i don't feel i feel like that's you can wear these glasses at your own risk if you're out there doing things now maybe sitting down uh at the house uh sitting down at a restaurant sitting down outside at a park maybe sure i'll give you know maybe that's okay because then you don't have to you don't know one's safety is involved when you're going to from what's being displayed on the screen and what's live in front of you. But it just, I want a pair. I want to bear because I want to see it actually work. I want to see if I could drive with those bad boys.

Yeah, I mean, that's what they put guardrails up for, right? Right. And AI to the rescue, as far as your health goes, I don't know that I want to know. but AI can predict people's health problems over a decade into the future. That's what scientists are saying. The technology has learned to spot patterns in people's medical records to calculate their risk of more than 1,000 diseases. Oh, okay, that's great.

It's just like forecasting the weather. They get a 70, I mean, the weather, how often are they right? So if they're tying this into, oh, it's just like the weather forecast. uh yeah okay uh they don't always get that right so one of the good they say that they're using this to spot high risk patients to prevent disease and to help hospitals understand demand in their area years ahead of time the model called delphi 2m uses similar technology as uh you know chatbots like chat gbt ai chatbots are trained to understand patterns of language so they can predict the sequence of words in a sentence delphi

2M has been trained to find patterns in anonymous medical records so it can predict what comes next and when it doesn't predict exact dates like a heart attack on october 1st but instead estimates the likelihood of 1,231 diseases so okay um sure we can uh you know not it's not just about one disease but all diseases at the same time. We've never been able to do that before. And the AI model was initially developed using anonymous UK data, including hospital admissions, GP records, and lifestyle habits such as smoking, collected for more than 400,000 people as part of the UK Biobank Research Project. Love that. The model was then tested to see if its predictions stacked up using data from other biobank participants.

And then with the 1.9 million people's medical records in Denmark. It's good. It's really good in Denmark, says this professor. If our model says it's a one in ten risk for the next year, it really does seem like it turns out to be one in ten. It really does seem like it turns out to be one in ten. Professor, maybe we should, I want to see, actually, it does work out. out to be that. Not that it seems that way. The model is best at predicting diseases like type 2

diabetes, heart attacks, and sepsis, and that have a clear disease progression rather than the more random events like infections. Well, yeah, duh. People are already offered a cholesterol lowering statin based on calculation of their risk of heart attack or stroke. The AI tool is not ready for clinical use, but the plan is to use it in a similar way to spot high-risk patients while there is an opportunity to intervene early and prevent disease. So when does the AI system say, oh, yeah, this person, don't even worry about helping this person. They're already going to die in the next five years. Move on.

Thanks for stopping. Okay. I don't know that I want to know, and I don't want the AI machine telling me, take care, we're not going to give you any medication because we're through with you. I'm sure that won't happen. That's just stupid. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what?

You know, and doing this commercial got me thinking, I've had these links in the fat pile for a while of some of these beautiful homes that are for sale. Jim Ursay, the owner of the Colts or former owner of the Colts who just passed away.

He's got his Indiana property up for sale for $19.9 million, the lake house. Because they already sold his $12 million Carmel Mansion. That was listed, and they sold them a day. actually may have already sold. They might have an offer on it. It's 13,956 square foot lake house, located on six acres on Lake Manoxacucky in Culver, features eight bedrooms,

10 baths, and a personal touch of Ursaio help design and build the home in 2001. It is Maxin Kucky. That's the lake, okay? I did say that right, just so you know. The entire home is one of a kind in the Midwest. and it's really kind of beautiful. It's got 250 feet of lake frontage.

It's got a complex, a wellness complex, an entertainment pavilion. It's pretty sweet. And you can get it for $19.9 million. Then you have David Lynch. His Hollywood Hills home just hit the market. $15 million. So it's not as much as Ursa's place in Indiana.

He and David just passed away as well. 2.5 acre estate. He lived there for like 35 years. I mean, he loved the place. And it's beautiful. It was designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright. It's recognized as a historic place in L.A. An excellent example of mid-century modern organic residential architecture.

It embodies the drama of hillside modernism with bold geometry. bold geometry walls of glass and a seamless flow between indoors and out. Now Lynch bought it and then he said you know what I'm going to buy the two places next door to

and we're going to some of my production company will be there and then I just don't have to go anywhere and I can just fence this place in and it's all me. So it's got an editing suite screening room and then he commissioned Eric Lloyd Wright

to design a pool and a pool house, because you can't live on this property without a pool and a pool house. Duh. And what about the guest house? Because I don't want people staying in the main house. Yeah, we've got a guest house too. It's a one-bedroom living space.

And it looks beautiful too. So you can get that for $15 million. And remember the, I mean, it's one of America's largest homes. It was the Los Angeles mansion. It went on the market for, I think, $195 million when it first went on sale. And they were saying that'd break the previous record of the highest price home sold in Los Angeles, which Jeff Bezos bought.

That was $165 million. And I was back in 2020, but this house will be crazy. Well, apparently they can't dump it off. So they've dropped it down to $175 million. $50,000 square foot homes, 16 bedrooms, 27 bathrooms, and a cliffside pool. It is a beautiful. And for $175 billion, it damn well ought to be. It was built by Tony Pritzker and his then-wife, Janine, or Jeannie, Arbishop, she called

ourselves, but they split in 2022, and now nobody can bear to be in the house. Tony Pritzker, if you ask yourself, yes, he is a Hyatt heir, and he is a brother to the governor of Illinois. In the hills of Beverly Crest, this Los Angeles west side looms the Pritzker estate, one of the largest homes in the U.S. I mean, it's really beautiful. It's got a tennis court, a basketball court, the cliffside pool, detached guest house, bowling alley, private movie theater. 16 bedrooms as I said and 27 bathrooms as I said So if you're looking to you know if you need a house

You can probably and you I'll tell you what It started out at 195 they've dropped it down to 175 You might be able to offer them like 150 cash And you know it could be all yours right now Just walk into it with 150 That would be it would be pretty cheap However that would make it not the most expensive house Ever purchased there which they probably still

want to do they don't want Bezos to have that record. So give them, Bezos was what, 165, I think is what Bezos paid. So if you offer them like 166, so they set the record, you still get a deal and they get the record. So good luck. Oh, and before we go to the break room, there's this other place in Wyoming that looks worth it as well. Okay, you got it's nearly a million acres of Wyoming wilderness.

That's larger than Los Angeles and New York City combined. It's on the market right now. You can get it for $79.5 million. It's called Pathfinder Ranches. This historic legacy estate spans 12 working ranches, 3,400 plus head of cattle, 20 miles of Sweetwater River, with landmarks from Oregon Trail to Devil's Gate. It's a haven for wildlife with sage grouse conservation zones, elk, mule deer, migration routes,

and sweeping views of the Pedro and Ferris Mountains. At its heart lies a nine-bedroom lodge where modern luxury meets rugged mountain west grandeur panoramic views, a full bar and even a billiards room. It's generations of the making. This is more than land. It's a frontier legacy waiting to be claimed. So you can pick that up for $79.5 million. That property sounds like a lot of work.

The biggest house in L.A., yeah, you got two people. They can trim the hedges and clean the pool and keep it clean. And, you know, you do one wing that's a bunch of bedrooms and you clean those. And then they don't have to keep going. You know, that's maybe once a week to go back and just make sure it's dusted and tidied up. but, and the bathrooms are flushed and everything's clean. But this place, now this, this looks like work. And you're talking about 12 working ranches on the property alone,

plus the cattle and the river and the landmarks and the wildlife and the conservation zones. Holy cow. You're not just sitting in your little historic house, look it out, which would be nice if you could. And I guess if you had, if you were going to spend $165 million on the place, in LA and decided to just spend

80 the place in Wyoming save you some money and you'd have a little money to put in your back pocket you could have people work the ranch the Pathfinder ranches and then you could just sit in your little ranch style house and look yep that's all mine

make sure that stuff gets taken care of okay all right it would be pretty sweet to own over a million acres and look out your windows and go, yep, that's mine. As far as you can see, yep, that's mine.

That would be pretty sweet. All right, let's go to the break room. You can still do it, by the way. You can still look out your window and go, yep, that's mine. But it really isn't. When you walk out on the back porch tomorrow morning and hold you a cup of coffee and you look out across your backyard and see those houses and rooftops, you can think to yourself, man, this is all mine.

It's not yours, but you know, you can just pretend. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, I see where Fat Bear Week is going to be up and running next week. I'm excited. I love Fat Bear Week. We will follow Fat Bear Week. If you want to participate in Fat Bear Week, you can go to

Fatbearweek.org, and then they'll send you the links, and you can go there. They do have Fat Bear Week Jr., which is beginning today. I believe by the time you hear this today, unless you're listening live, you will know that you can vote on a Fat Bear Week Jr. But the big bears begin next week. And I was looking for the story that they had posted about all the bears that have won in the past. and the running of the bears. And I love them all. The Glazer is one of the big ones that has won multiple years in a row.

And it's a big ass bear. You can quote me on that. They are also saying, what a great year it has been this year at Catmine National Forest or National Park in Alaska, where the salmon has been overwhelming this year. so the bears are going to get extra fat. And you can go up there. They've got live cams on the river. And you can watch the bears feed and get fat in real time.

It's pretty incredible. And they fight and they don't like each other much. Just leave them alone. Let me eat. I'm trying to get fat so I can go hibernate. I am looking forward to it. So you can bet we'll be covering that here on. on chewing the fat.

No question. Something to look forward to. Another thing that something to look forward to is an event called share the arrows.com. It's being put on by Alliebeth Stucky. She's hosting it.

So I'm reading this story that says that News Nation beat out MSNBC and CNN, which is an embarrassment for them. You know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You know, News Nation averaged 44,000 viewers in an age group during the 8 p.m. hour when it ran its special report, the killing of Charlie Kirk. All right, this is Saturday night, okay, Saturday evening. So if you know, CNN and NBC are getting beat by News Nation on Saturday primetime,

by the 2554 age demo, that's probably about the same amount of people that are possible. Maybe it brought some more over because of the killing of Charlie Kirk special. But, I mean, people are watching college football. And at that time, you know, last Saturday, there was big time college football games going on. and it was close to, I mean, I'm not sure exactly. They say prime time. So they say 44,000 viewers in the age group during the 8 p.m. hour, okay, when it ran a special report. CNN returned the real time with Bill Maher, fell short, 38,000 viewers.

MSNBC, the weekend prime time only reached 32,000 during its report. News, News, Nation confirmed that Kirk was not wearing bulletproof vest when he was assassinated and that facial recognition put his alleged killer on the FBI's radar. Yeah, okay. I mean, we all know the Charlie Kirk story by now. It's just interesting that the way this is worded that it's an embarrassment for MSNBC and CNN, I don't necessarily see it that way. Yes, News Nation beat them and they will be pissed.

You know, what are they doing? We've got to do something to create some gin. But on a Saturday evening, prime time, go ahead. beat us because there's college football on and nobody really cares. Now, I'm happy. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy that News Nation is crushing these dangleberries. They deserve to get crushed.

There's also news where MSNBC soon is going to lose their access to NBC news people. And their news, the local news will not be able to be a part of MSNBC or whatever they call themselves. now. I guess they're, I guess, yeah, they call themselves a MSNBC, right? Something like that. Yeah. Like that's their new, whatever it is. They're just going to turn into a nightmare. Probably won't be around for much longer unless some things change, which they claim the new owners claim that there will be some changes. So we shall see, won't we?

Well, let's begin with someone. I apologize for missing. This happened at the end of last month. Forest Lucas, Forrest Lucas, founder of Lucas Oil, has died at the age of 83. And of course,

Lucas Oil is the stadium where the Indianapolis Colt played. We talked about the house of Jim Ursay being for sale. And that got me, I was in that, I was in that frame looking at Jim Ursay's house and it mentioned Lucas Oil had passed away and I thought, I don't remember mentioning Forrest Lucas dying, so I wanted to pay my respects. He's the founder of Lucas Oil. He died at the age of 83. They confirmed that he had died and he, you know, his boundless drive for Lucas Oil, his generosity and love for his family and we'll grieve this

tremendous loss and we take comfort and knowing his legacy. We'll continue to inspire our team and all who knew him. started in drag racing back in the day and the National Hot Rod Association. I mean, they love him. He's been out there forever. NHRA, he was born in Indiana. He met his, I think he met his wife in Charlotte after starting a professional career in long haul truck driving.

I mean, the guy was, you know, it was great. And of course, the west side of Indianapolis has a racetrack out there as well. So, I mean, Lucas Oil is a big deal. And he was a big deal. So rest in peace, it does not say what the cause of death was for Forrest. So you can surmise whatever you'd like. Rest in peace to Forrest Lucas, founder of Lucas Oil, dead at the age of 83. Then we have movie star, hallmark movie star and TV star Paula Shaw dead at the age of 84.

This is another female. Oh, yeah, her. Similar to, oh, yeah, that guy. I guess we could go, oh, yeah, that gal. A lot of that's probably demeaning. So, oh, yeah, her. I mean, everything about this show is kind of demeaning. So, oh, yeah, that gal.

I mean, she was in Freddie versus Jason. She was in these Hallmark Channel holiday movies. She began her career, you know, a hundred years ago with Lee Strasberg. And it couldn't have been 100 years ago because she's only 84. know. She later went on to play in the best little horror house in Texas alongside Dally Barton and Bert Reynolds. She

appeared in the Bob Newhart show. She appeared in Starsky and Hutch. Barney Miller, Three's Company, Lou Grant and Ironside. She never, there's no canon in this. I'll tell you that. She wasn't that good. She's been on, she's been a big

deal on Hallmark. Cedar Co. Hanukkah on Rye hits for the holidays. picture a perfect Christmas. She was awesome. And she had a workshop and she had people, her legacy lives on through the communities that she created.

And so when you see Paula Shaw and you say, oh yeah, that gal, rest in peace, dead at the age of 84. Then we have a North Dakota restaurant critic who you may have remembered went viral a few years

ago. She died at the age of 99. Marilyn Haggerty, Marilyn Haggerty, dead at the age of 99. She, a longtime North Dakota newspaper columnist who became famous for her earnest review of Olive Garden, when Olive Garden came to town at Grand Forks, North Dakota. And then she kind of got hit bad. People were giving her a hard time. A lot of people were giving her a good time as well.

And then Anthony Bourdain showed up and praised her. And then she got a book deal. And she was still writing for the newspaper. She started out in the 60s as the paper's feature. She said, yeah, well, it wasn't much to grandfogues food scenes. So I just thought I'd do something to hail of the community. And I'd just stuck. I'd do something on Wednesday.

It's just something I'd throw to try and bellish the food section. and it worked. And she would, her Olive Garden review that made her famous. She praised the chicken Alfredo as being warm and comforting on a cold day. And as I ate, I noticed the vases of planters with permanent flower displays on the ledges. There are several dining areas with arched doorways and there is a fireplace that adds warmth to the decor. I mean, we all know that that's Olive Garden now, but back then it was a big deal, a new thing. And so she was a no frills Italian chain that had just opened up in town.

And she received an onslaught of snarky comments. But Anthony Bourdain was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, why don't we just calm down? She's really good. And she's talking about how people eat their food today and are still eating their food today. That's how people do. So why don't you calm down? She ended up on Good Morning America. Today Show, wrote a book.

So she was, you know, she was doing well, and she still was writing for the newspaper, although I think she stopped writing for the newspaper the last couple years. Because she'd been writing for a while. Yeah, she was writing full-time until 91, and then she contributed columns until last October. And what are you going to do at the Grand Forks newspaper? you're still, if she sends in an article, you're going to print it. That's just the way it is. You get an article from your girl, Marilyn Haggerty.

You print it. That's what you do. Rest in peace to Marilyn Haggerty, dead. And she had complications related to a stroke, according to her daughter. Rest in peace, dead at the age of 99. Then we have a... I know. This is going to be...

sad. I barely get this out. Gina, as if the rest weren't sad enough. Gino, the gorilla, the 27-year resident of the Florida theme park, was opening day animal and fathered 14 baby gorillas through his life dead. He's part of

Animal Kingdom. Wow. Disney's Animal Kingdom. The 44-year-old gorilla just passed away at the age of 44. very sad. He lived at the Florida Resort since Animal Kingdom is opening. He leaves behind an incredible legacy. He's a beloved member of the Disney World family.

And it doesn't say what Gino died of from. But he's an old western lowland gorilla. And he's just was a wonderful animal in captivity at the theme park. and so rest in peace to Gino the beloved 44-year-old Western lowland gorilla

dead you know as long as we're talking about animals I was reading a story today about how the chimpanzees in Uganda's Cabelli National Park they've been studied and they measured the content of many types of fruit that the chimps routinely consume and they found that they contain measurement they could they wanted to measure the

ethanol content of these fruits and so now we're thinking that these monkeys i'm sorry these chimpanzees are uh they're just drinking booze all day uh eating these eating the fruit i know and I love the study It's not clear whether they actively seek out fruit With high ethanol levels Of course they do They're not stupid But the availability of ethanol

And many species of fruit That they normally eat Suggest that alcohol is a regular part of their diet And as likely was a part of their diets Of our human ancestors Uh yeah Duh So apparently they

They ingest a body Well, they say that with the fruit that they eat, it's worth, worth equals about one drink, okay? But they weigh less than humans. So we're looking at probably two drinks a day at least. And you know, there might be more. And it might affect them differently. I want to, I haven't read the full study yet.

And believe me, I, oh man, you get me into a, you get me into a chimpanzee drink. drinking study from Berkeley, man, I cannot be torn away from that. So we just, we do know though, for sure, having not even dove into reading the details of this study, that they are busy getting drunk all day. And so when you see the chimpanzees going out of their minds and tiff her a little bit, they're drunk. platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.

You're welcome. Oh, we were speaking about animals. The colossal biosciences, and I don't know, where are we counting those animals? Sure, that's what we're doing. The Texas-based de-extinction company, they announced yesterday that it has successfully grown pigeon primordial germ cells.

That is wonderful. Congratulations. They've grown pigeon primordial germ cells, which is a step toward its goal to reviving the extinct dodo bird. And that's what we need is a dodo bird. There's not enough dodoes on this planet. Until now, humans have only been able to grow these cells, the precursors for sperm and eggs, for chickens and geese. Colossil now hopes to grow the cells from Nicobar pigeons, Dodo's closest living relatives. tweaking their genes using specimens of the dodo bird preserved in museums.

The goal is to inject the cells into the gene-edited chickens, which will serve as surrogates. The company, which recently created pups resembling the dire wolf, believes it can produce a dodo-like bird in five to seven years. Wow, that's a long time. I thought they were going to do it faster than that. Things are slowing down over there at the old colossal bio sciences, because I was under the impression that it was going to be faster than that for the dodo bird.

But okay, wow, okay. The dodo bird was a large pigeon out there in the Indian Ocean, and it evolved to lose the ability to fly, which is concerning. And we still want to bring back a bird that decided, you know, I could do something that nothing else could do. I don't want to do it anymore. Maybe that's why it went extinct. Maybe it was supposed to.

Anyway, yeah, it says. It's believed to be the first animal species exterminated by humans. Yeah, because we were either eaten it or killing it because they were too dumb to fly. And we want to bring those back. So, I mean, if it takes five to seven years, maybe it takes longer

because nobody really wants the dodo bird back. But they're on it. They are on it. And congratulations to Cal Raleigh, the big dumper, who is a catcher, switch hitter playing for the Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball team.

hit his 56th home run this year. That breaks Mickey Mantle's record for the most single-season homers by a switch hitter. He's on pace to hit 60. There's 11 games left. The American League record is 62, set by Aaron Judge in 2022, and there have only been 9 60 home-run seasons in Major League history. So get to it, Big Dumpur, get to it. Let's get you into that 60 home run.

league this year. As I think one time he's on pace to get more than that, and obviously things have slowed down. But that's awesome. Congratulations to Cal. All right, let's get out of here. I'll give you the joke of the day. The joke of the day sent to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com from Greg.

He, I don't think he's claiming to have written this because he starts off with heard this one a long time ago. A Chinese couple are getting ready to take care of a little bit and his and the husband. asked his wife if she wants to try 69.
