It's gonna be 107 degrees here, real feel. We're gonna stay in the air conditioning today. July 28th, 1954. Elvis Presley's first press interview. He was working as a truck driver. He did it during his lunch break. 1957, three years later, rock and roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis debuted on the Steve Allen TV show. That's like the precursor of the tonight show, with a whole lot of shaking going on. Very famous song. In 1960, Roy Arbison's Orbison's only the lonely hit the UK charts, went to number one, and guess what? The song he wrote was uh turned down by Elvis and the Everly Brothers. Boohoo. Well, they had their own hits. Okay, bits and pieces. Your brain is burning 400 to 500 calories a day, 20% of your body's total energy use. There you go. Say ah, your tongue has unique prints like your fingerprints. Nobody else's matches it. Say ah. A spoonful. Ketchup was sold as medicine in 1834 by Dr. John Cook Bennett and tomato digestive pills to cure what your tummy was going on with. And ripe bananas will glow blue under UV black lights. I watch a lot of crime shows. What can I tell you? Let's go on. Scampi, shrimp's hearts are in their heads, behind their brain, near their stomach. The head and chest are fused together, protected by the carapace or carapace, the outer shell. Unicorn, Scotland's national animal, is the unicorn. Duh! Purity, power, freedom. You go. Dream on. See otters, sleep, holding hands with each other so they don't drift away in the water currents. And because it sinuses are not in your nose, they're in the hollow, air-filled cavities in the facial bones around your nasal passages. Birthdays. We have Sally Struthers.

It's hamburger day, milk chocolate, maybe for dessert, and water park day. Go to the water park. About hamburger history, supposedly started with minced meat patties with wine and pepper in ancient Rome in Germany, 18th century, hamburg steak with salted minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. And that's the story White Castle sticks to. Maybe you invented a great hamburger. I don't know. Let's go back to our outro here and let's see what our music is for our. Oh, let's see.
