Welcome back, friends. The wake of a chatter. I'm Baker.
All right, let's get to some of the stories you might have missed this morning.
This one gives lucky pennies. Hannah a whole new meaning.
Listen to this great story.
A family discovered more than a million pennies when they
were cleaning out their late father's home in Los Angeles.
And the valuation could be about a million dollars.
Now, you might be thinking pennies for a million. Hm.
The standard value for about a million pennies is only about $10,000.
But these Hanna
are special copper pennies were made right before world war two.
Now, the US started making pennies out of zinc covered steel back in 1943.
That was when copper was needed for the war.
The pennies were found in boxes, crates and, uh, sacks.
So now this would be worth almost close to a million dollars. I
know.
Which is an amazing story.
Uh, you know, you never know how many pennies. Yeah.
How many pennies you have laying around and how much that adds up to after a while.
I'm still one of those people and I know this is a controversial, like,
opinion that wants to abolish the penny.
I think the penny is like, you know, back in the day
nobody uses any money and they actually cost more
to produce now than what they're actually worth.
So, the US actually pays more for pennies than they're worth
and everybody's using things electronically now.
But this is one of the few moments where it's like, oh, thank goodness,
we still have the penny.
If we hold on to
it in a few years, our family might find tens of thousands.
Exactly. You're paying it forward. Yes.
All right.
Last month,
we also told you about that university professor in Florida who
broken that record for the longest
time living underwater without depressurization.
Well, on May 13th,
you might remember Joseph Terry broke the Guinness world record for 74 days.
He lived underwater.
Well, finally he surfaced yesterday on land, making it 100 days down under in total.
So
I
know it was, it's because he's seeing the sun for the first time.
Harry known as Doctor Deep Sea was living in an undersea lodge at
the bottom of a 30 ft deep lagoon in the Florida Keys.
He said, quote, it was never about the record for him.
Instead,
he just wanted to extend human tolerance underwater at
the Guinness world record listed his 74 day record.
And now he's going to ask that his 100 day record is also a,
I don't blame him. I mean,
if you're gonna spend down as much time down under there as much as possible.
I mean, why not? What do you, what would you possibly watch while you're down there?
And was he
the fish
or
you watch every episode of Grey's anatomy?
And here you have so much time you got to kill him as well.
He did say the human body has never been underwater that long.
He hopes experience has changed.
He's changed him in an important way, which yeah, 100 days underwater.
And my greatest hope is that I have inspired a
new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all.
Maybe we're doing it wrong thinking of colonizing the moon and Mars,
we should just be colonizing
the,
you and I talk about this all the time. There's so much we don't know,
who
knows. They might be entire towns.
Also.
You have to think with not being able to see the sun for the longest period of time.
You would have to take so much vitamin D or something just to like,
get like to feel like something because it's
just like you're not getting any sort of,
you know what I'm saying when you and I reported this and what was it last month?
We wanted to know what he ate and it was
mostly seafood and he had a little microwave in his little
ba
basically
what he has
