Yeah, Fifi doesn't fly economy. Fifi flies business 4 00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:25,000 class. The owner explained, I adopted Fifi when she was one year old. 5 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:28,359 We believe this is her first flight, and we decided to fly business 6 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:31,039 and have Fifi in the cabin with me because I couldn't deal with her being 7 00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,759 in the hold and the cargo. She's my sidekick and I don't like to 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,119 be away from her, and she's the same. Must be nice, A 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,920 nice job. By Max. He's thirteen.

US officials are working to restore more large bison herds 27 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,280 to Native American lands. The FEDS have also announced twenty five billion dollars in 28 00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,760 federal spending for bison conservation. American bison, also known as buffalo, have 29 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:01,439 bounced back from their near extinction due to commercial hunting in the eighteen hundreds, 30 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,640 but they remain absent from most of the grasslands they once occupied. Many tribes 31 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,759 of struggled to restore their deep historical connections to the animals. By eighteen eighty 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,039 nine, only a few hundred bison remained. They do remain functionally extinct, 33 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:19,360 wow, and more work is needed to return the animals to tribal lands and 34 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,479 restore the grasslands they depend on. Eighty two tribes now have more than twenty 35 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,879 thousand bison and sixty five herds. Numbers have been growing in recent years, 36 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,759 along with the desire among Native Americans to reclaim stewardship of the animals.

That spoke 39 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,800 to her, so she bought a lottery ticket. Can you figure out where 40 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,039 this story is going? Do you listen to the podcast?

Denise made a simple request 57 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,680 to have a huge banner made ahead of her son's christening. Don't worry, 58 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,319 this won't end horribly, but apparently the wording was lost in translation. Denise 59 00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:24,079 told the staff, I just want on your Christening day. It seems simple 60 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,519 enough, And then when she went to pick up the banner, it said 61 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,439 I just want on your Christening day, she said. When I opened the 62 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:34,199 banner, my brother's wife just shrieked, Oh my god. My brother was 63 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,759 so embarrassed. He was meant to be the godfather. I just laughed and 64 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,279 thought, oh my god, it was so funny. How can you mess 65 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,720 it up that badly?
