The whole purpose of money is as a tool to give you a better life. That's always been my mantra.

And if there's one area of my life that I've wanted to improve, it is my sleep. I have always been a

terrible sleeper, and it's had such a big impact on my health and occasionally my mood. I recently

started using eight sleep, and it has been wonderful. Truly one of the best investments I've made

in a while. Eight sleep is a mattress cover that heats and cools underneath you while you sleep, analyzing your sleep patterns to

find the right temperature and automatically adjusting throughout the night. It also gives you

tons of data the next morning showing your sleep patterns, where you can improve, and how much rest

you actually received. I love it. If you want to check out more and get up to $350 off, go to 8Sleep.com

I came across this picture several years ago of an animal that I had never seen or heard of.

It's called the Irish Elk. If you've never heard of an Irish elk, you're probably not alone because they went extinct 10,000 years ago.

But if you see a picture of an Irish elk skeleton, you will be stunned. I've never seen anything

like this. Most elk and other animals that are similar to an elk have a set of antlers that are

branch-like and they're thin. They can be big, but they're thin. The Irish elk has these antlers that are just solid plates.

It's hard to describe.

I would encourage you to search for one.

Obviously, I can't show you on this podcast, but they have these antlers that are, A, they

are enormous, and B, they are just one single plate of antler.

They're gigantic.

They were like comically large.

Their antlers could weigh over 100 pounds, which was like 10% of their body weight.

And of course, why does an animal get a big set of antlers like that?
