  Morning sent you by. And now, back to the show.
• 7:47
  Let's talk science. Humans once had straighter
• 7:50
  teeth, but recent research reveals how diet,
• 7:54
  evolution, and facial anatomy have transformed
• 7:57
  our smiles. While misaligned teeth were present
• 8:01
  in our hunter -gatherer ancestors, they are more
• 8:03
  common today. Experts suggest a major factor
• 8:07
  is our shift from tough, raw foods to softer,
• 8:11
  processed diets, which reduced the need for chewing
• 8:14
  and led to smaller jaws over generations. This
• 8:18
  smaller jaw space can cause overcrowding in crooked
• 8:21
  teeth. Additionally, cosmetic awareness and genetic
• 8:25
  factors may also influence the prevalence of
• 8:28
  malocclusions in modern populations. And in entertainment
• 8:35
  news, rumors are swirling about a potential reboot
• 8:39
  of the beloved Indiana Jones franchise. But could

  anyone truly replace Harrison Ford? After his

  final appearance in 2023's The Dial of Destiny,
• 8:50
  whispers about a revival have emerged. A report
• 8:54
  suggests that Lucasfilm may announce plans at
• 8:57
  next year's D23 Expo, but this remains unconfirmed.
• 9:02
  Hollywood insider Jeff Snyder cautions that a
• 9:05
  reboot is likely years away. Meanwhile, names
• 9:09
  like Glenn Powell, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Pratt
• 9:13
  have surfaced as possible successors. sparking
• 9:16
  debate on who could carry the iconic whip and
• 9:18
  hat into the future. Well, alrighty folks, it's
• 9:23
  time for the quote of the day. And today, our
• 9:27
  quote comes from the American poet and civil
• 9:30
  rights activist, Audre Lorde. And she said, When
• 9:35
  I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in
• 9:38
  the service of my vision, then it becomes less
• 9:40
  and less important whether I am afraid. And that's
• 9:45
