Good Morning! On this day in 1879, the notorious gunslinger and dentist Doc Holliday killed a man for the first time after the man shot up his saloon in New Mexico. This marked one of his only eight confirmed shootouts, despite his formidable reputation. If you watched Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom on Sunday evenings in the 1960s, you experienced the very beginning of television’s wildlife and nature genre. The brand continues today with both spinoffs and original episodes, as we see in today’s Whatever Happened To… section. In case you missed it, this week on The Flyover Podcast, Ayla tackled the phone battery problem that has almost nothing to do with your actual battery. It turns out a handful of settings are running in the background all day, quietly draining power without you ever touching them, and shutting them off costs you nothing. From the toggles most people never think to check to the ones switched on the day the phone left the box, Ayla walked through seven quick fixes that can stretch a single charge well past what you are getting now. See tips here! Today's sponsor is Frontieras, giving investors the chance to back an emerging energy company developing technology to unlock valuable resources from coal without burning it. |

 Two US Soldiers Killed, One Missing
Two U.S. service members were killed in Jordan on Friday while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks, and a third remains missing, U.S. Central Command announced Saturday. Four others were briefly hospitalized and have since been discharged. The strikes follow a broader wave of Iranian attacks targeting U.S. allies Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain in recent days. Iran's supreme leader warned of "unforgettable lessons" if American strikes continue, and Tehran suspended its commitments to the interim deal signed last month to end the fighting. |
Trump Threatens Tariffs over SmokePresident Trump has pledged to hold Canada responsible for costs tied to unhealthy U.S. air quality from spreading Canadian wildfire smoke, threatening to add the pollution's price tag to existing tariffs. A thick wave of smoke is shrouding swaths of the country from Milwaukee to Washington, D.C. Chicago, which recorded the world's worst big-city air Thursday, expects conditions to deteriorate again this weekend as a new plume arrives. Weekend thunderstorms should bring some relief, but forecasters expect air quality to remain a concern into Sunday. |
List: Most Popular Dog NamesBella and Luna remain the top two dog names for the fourth year in a row, according to U.S. News and World Report. Max, Coco, and Daisy round out the top five names in the 56 million American households that welcome pups. Bella is also the most popular name across breeds, topping the list of nearly 50 varieties. The top 100 names included a surprising nod to Greek and Norse mythology with Zeus, Loki, Apollo, Thor, and Athena.

Whatever happened to Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? For millions of Americans, Sunday nights meant a folksy zoologist in a khaki shirt saying, "Welcome to Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom." Here’s one of the show's openings. The show didn't just fill an hour before the workweek—it invented an entire genre, hauling anacondas and lions into living rooms decades before Animal Planet or Shark Week existed. So where did it go? It never really left. Wild Kingdom debuted on NBC on January 6, 1963, hosted by Marlin Perkins—a University of Missouri zoology dropout. At its peak, the show drew an average of 34 million viewers, powered by Perkins' scholarly manner and the derring-do of his younger sidekick, Jim Fowler, who tended to do the actual snake-wrestling while Marlin narrated from a safe distance. This fueled a running gag Johnny Carson loved during their many Tonight Show visits, which became a highlight on Carson’s show. Here’s a clip with Fowler, Carson, and a coyote from 1969. But Perkins came by his caution honestly. Back in 1928, as a young reptile curator at the St. Louis Zoo, he was bitten on the finger by a Gaboon viper—one of Africa's deadliest snakes—with no antivenom on hand. He survived, becoming one of only a handful of people ever known to do so. The show ran new episodes from 1963 to 1971, then continued in syndication. In 1985, Perkins stepped down as host to fight lymph cancer; he died at home in St. Louis in June 1986 at age 81. The brand proved durable. Animal Planet revived it in 2002 with Alec Baldwin narrating, and a newer incarnation, Protecting the Wild, is co-hosted by Peter Gros and Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant. Classic Perkins-era episodes still air Sunday mornings on the nostalgia-oriented MeTV, serving many of the same viewers who grew up on the show. Were you a fan of Wild Kingdom? Or enjoy watching them on Johnny Carson? Let us know your thoughts by replying to this email. |
