Good morning Brew Daily Show, I'm Neil Freiman and I'm Toby Howell. Today the

FTC wants to put the largest ever supermarket merger in the freezer section.

Then beware Baconator lovers Wendy's is getting creative with a new burger pricing strategy.

It's Tuesday, February 27th.

Let's ride. There might be a world in the not too distant future where humans are able to

talk to Wales.

Seriously, a new Atlantic article highlighted a well-funded project that's bringing together

leading AI researchers to decode sperm whales language.

These whales communicate through clicking sequences known as codas and if scientists

spent enough time decoding these clicks paired with key tech breakthroughs it's possible

that eventually humans would be able to initiate a conversation with them

marking the first time two species living side by side for tens of millions of years

would make contact with one another. First of all this is huge because hopefully we can tell the sperm whales to talk to their

pals the orcas and tell them to stop singing our ships because if killer whales turn off, we are doomed

as a species.

But also, I feel like the scientists pick the wrong species to do this with

you got to go after the dog market first right that's how the first

trillionaires can be born if someone can invent a way to talk to dogs.

But Neil I gotta ask you if you could talk to any animal, which animal would you choose?

Well I'm trying to get in better shape so I'd love to consult the best fitness influencer on earth, the dung beetle, because the dung beetle is the strongest insect on earth.

They're able to push balls of fresh animal poop that weigh more than 200 times their body weight.

So I'd love just to know the regimen.
