We're powered by Leonard Truck Outfitters. Truck around and find out. Just yesterday, Tee mentioned that he bought some eggs. Mhmm. He bought a dozen eggs, and it was, like, almost $10.

Jeez. So, yeah, the price of eggs, still pretty high. Oh. And now there's another restaurant that is adding a surcharge. So Denny's has announced a surcharge on meals containing eggs following in the footsteps of Waffle House.

Mhmm. They are implementing a market-by-market pricing adjustment to tackle the egg shortage crisis. Oh. They haven't really disclosed the exact increase in cost. Yeah.

So we know now that Waffle House is doing it. Denny's is doing it. Apparently, though, we haven't heard anything different. Cracker Barrel not doing it. I haven't heard that.

I don't know. Unless, again, they're just building it in somewhere else. Right? And you don't see it. But yeah. I mean, eggs are just insane.

Right? I mean, literally, I think people are gonna joke about this, but it wouldn't surprise me if somebody was like, hey. Look, man. I know I owe you $20 for whatever. Can I just give you a dozen eggs and we call it even?

You know? Yeah. That's what it's gonna come down to. I don't understand couples that sleep separately. Here's the reason that I hear most for why people don't.

Snoring. Yes. Snoring, That is true. Yeah. That's the one that's the main thing I hear most is he snores, she's whatever, and so we gotta sleep in separate rooms.

That's the issue I hear most. But other than that, I don't get it either. Well, there is a study that reveals couples who sleep together experience longer and better sleep. Mhmm. But I guess if snoring is involved, maybe not so much.

Yeah. But they did find that sharing a bed enhances physical and emotional security through increased, REM sleep and synchronized heartbeats. Couples who sleep close trigger an oxytocin release. It promotes relaxation and decreased stress levels. I'll tell you, a %.

If Kelsey's not in bed, like, I have a hard time falling asleep. Like, when she was in Texas for work for a couple of days Yeah. A few weeks ago, I woke up a like, almost every hour and a half I was waking up, or, like, when Maddie was going through her sleep regressions and Kelsey was sleeping in there for a little bit. It just it's something it's like it's like the world is not right. You know what I mean?

Like, things aren't right if she's not, right there in bed. So I totally understand this. This, if it actually happens, might be the greatest engineering marvel of our time. It would be super cool. It would be super cool.

I don't know how the heck they do it. Mm-mm. But Elon Musk is backing a transatlantic tunnel that would allow people to travel from London to New York in fifty-four minutes. That's insane. I mean, look.

This is the stuff that we that we saw in movies and TV shows when we were kids. Like, this is what we thought the future was gonna be like. Yeah. The tunnel will cost $19,000,000,000,000. Well, I mean, you got a tunnel under the ocean.

Yeah. You know? I mean and it hey. And it like, it ain't like it's a couple of miles. Alright?

That's true. It would transport passengers in vacuum tubes and magnetically levitating trains. Each train would reach speeds of 3,000 miles per hour. That freaks me out a little bit. Freaks me out a little bit too.

If you want to imagine what this would be like, go to the bank today, go through the little drive-up thing, put something in that little tube, and send it out. That's what you would look like trying to go from New York to London on this thing. Look like one of those deals at the bank.
