00:00:50,040 Shockingly, as one of the most popular shows before the streaming era began, this episode 10 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:56,160 doesn't make the list of top 25 most watched episodes of all time. 11 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:04,120 The Apollo 11 moon landing had over 125 million viewers, and the Mashed series finale had 12 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,120 over 105 million. 13 00:01:07,120 -->

--> 00:04:19,440 Now on to sports. 57 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,920 Shohei Otani delivered an outstanding performance for the Dodgers, hitting two home runs, Sunday 58 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:33,000 against the Braves, contributing to a 5-1 win, and completing a three-game series sweep. 59 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,360 One of his homers was a monumental 464-foot shot, marking one of the longest in Dodger 60 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,560 Stadium's history. 61 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:49,360 Otani's current season stats include a leading 364 batting average and 1.11 on-base percentage 62

global temperatures, 68 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,560 are causing unusual and extreme rainfall across various regions, from East Africa to southeastern 69 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,560 Australia. 70 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,240 This has led to devastating floods and infrastructure challenges. 71 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,680 As the planet warms, the atmosphere holds more moisture, contributing to more intense 72 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,640 and frequent downpours. 73 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,680 This shift in climate raises concerns about future infrastructure resilience, economic 74 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,160 impact on insurance and agriculture, and the need for global adaptation to a potentially 75 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,160 wetter environment. 76 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,680 Sounds like it's time to invest in umbrella stocks. 77 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:10,220 In business news, this week the market will focus on several key events, including earnings 78

00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,000 into future monetary policies. 83 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,520 Updates on consumer sentiment and lending standards will also be important. 84 00:06:38,520 -->

00:07:51,520 Let's talk science. 101 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,920 Researchers have discovered what might be the deepest blue hole on Earth, the Tom Job 102 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,280 Blue Hole, located underwater near the Mexico-Belize border. 103 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:08,200 Previously thought to be the second deepest, recent studies suggest it extends at least 104 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400 1,400 feet below sea level. 105 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Intriguingly, it could be connected to a vast network of underwater caves, potentially harboring 106 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,240 undiscovered marine biodiversity. 107 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,960 This blue hole and its unexplored depths highlight the vast unknowns of our planet's oceanic 108 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,960 environments. 109 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:36,760 And in entertainment news, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny exceeded its budget by 110 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:42,360 $100 million, according to financial statements from the production company. 111 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:49,800 The film starring Harrison Ford faced significant costs, notably $79 million on post-production 112 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,200 alone, to create the aged visuals of Ford. 113 00:08:54,200 --> 00:09:02,160 Despite the high expenditure, the movie underperformed at the box office, earning $384 million, which 114 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,400 was lower than its predecessors when adjusted for inflation. 115 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,120 Consequently, Disney experienced a substantial financial loss, with estimates suggesting 116 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,960 a $143 million shortfall. 117 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,800 Bummer, I liked the movie. 118 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,520 That'll work on that budgeting, though. 119 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,440 After all, money doesn't grow on trees. 120 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,280 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 121 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,320 And today, our quote comes from one of our favorite Friends characters, Joey Tribbiani. 122 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:43,480 And finally, our biggest item of the night, the 22-foot Gentleman's Day Sailor Sailboat. 123 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,480 The winning bid was a whopping $20,000. 124 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,480 I won? 125 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,480 That was my guess. 126 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,480 What, what, what? 127 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,240 I guessed $20,000! 128 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,200 Joey, it is an auction! 129 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,240 You don't guess, you buy! 130 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,720 What? 131 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,400 And that's a wrap for this morning. 132 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,760 You can check out
