WATCH: Lake Carmi Eagle Cam was busy for breakfast!
A viewer recently sent us a reminder that the Lake Carmi, Vermont Eagle Cam was up and running again this season. Rick Willever sent us a message saying 'For the 4th year in a row, the bald eagles at Lake Carmi have 3 eaglets. The first one hatched around April 9th. They are growing quickly and can be seen regularly peeking over the side of the nest. Check them out 'Check them out' is exactly what Meteorologist Alex Wasilenko was doing Tuesday morning. The Lake Carmi Eagle Cam was alive overnight with two adult bald eagles and two eaglets. However, the light of day and beautiful sunrise helped to illuminate the happenings in and around the big nest. One adult eagle came back and forth several times during the morning to not only give the eaglets a meal but they also did some tidying up. It was fun to see the adult eagles move the bigger branches while the eaglets tackled the smaller ones. At the end of our FOX44 Morning Brew shows, the third eaglet had popped up its floofy, feathery head to see what was going on. This camera is beyond fascinating to watch, and as Alex can attest to, can be a bit distracting from time to time but in the best way possible.

DraftKings CEO talks Q1 miss & how March Madness shaped outlook
DraftKings (DKNG) missed first quarter expectations and lowered its full-year revenue forecast, citing a lack of upsets during March Madness that led to more customer wins. DraftKings CEO Jason Robins joins Catalysts to explain how tournament outcomes impacted the company's guidance. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Catalysts here. DraftKings missing first quarter expectations and cutting its full year revenue forecast. Still, revenue rose 20% from a year ago. The sports betting company says a lack of March Madness upsets kept it from raising its 2025 guidance. Joining me now, Jason Rob Robins, DraftKing CEO, and my Morning Brew co-host, Brad Smith. Jason, thank you for being here this morning. Let's start on the guidance. I'm really interested in getting some clarity from you on this. You said you would have raised it if not for unusually customer friendly outcomes during March Madness. Can you break that down for us? Should investors just always expect your guidance to be driven by game outcomes? Well, not always. I think in this case, we had a pretty historic March Madness. It was only the second time ever that all four number one seeds made the final four. And in addition to that, the first time ever that that happened, and you had three number two and one number three seed in the Elite 8. So really a tournament where favorites were winning. Um, 82% in fact of the favorites won. So that was actually an all-time record for March Madness. Uh, so I think it was a bit of an anomaly. Um, you know, we've heard theories like NIL maybe driving, uh, more of that type of thing in the future. So obviously the models will have to take those sorts of things into account, but I don't expect that kind of favorite run to happen most years in March Madness or in any sport for that matter. But it does happen sometimes, which is part of the great aspect of the product. Customers can really go on winning streaks on things like that, which is great. So then let's talk about what you are anticipating regardless of game outcomes, especially for the next year here. Sales and EBITDA for Q1 did miss consensus in part due to gaming taxes among other potential headwinds, among a macro uncertain environment here. How are you thinking about the health of the consumer and the impact that could have on your business in the quarters to come? Well, we included some material on this in, uh, because we knew this was a question on investor's minds. We included some material on this in our earnings release, and it's pretty clear that gaming, uh, and online gaming has also really shown resiliency through macroeconomic downturns. Uh, we we took some data from 2008, the Great Recession, and and we saw that and obviously didn't have US online gaming at the time, but it was widespread throughout Europe and it grew quite nicely through that period. So that in addition to us looking at our own metrics and seeing very healthy customer metrics across the board, and we analyze everything really gives us confidence that we are pretty resilient to any economic environment. With that in mind, how's that factoring into the guide right now, Jason? And and great to speak with you again, and especially as we're in this period where we've heard TV ratings are strong for the NBA playoffs right now. How's that flowing through to DraftKings? Well, strong ratings usually lead to betting and, uh, vice versa. So those are good things for us, and hopefully they'll continue. The NBA playoffs obviously has been off to a fantastic start with these games. Uh, lots of great close games. Uh, my Celtics haven't come out on top so far, but still have a lot of way to go, so we'll see. Um, but really it's been a great quality product as we expected, and betting has followed.

These Two Donald Trump Posts About The Stock Market Are Going Viral For Completely Contradicting Each Other
We're 100 days into Donald Trump's second term! I'm sure you're well aware that the stock market hasn't been doing so hot in that time, with CNN reporting that the market had its worst first 100 days for any presidential term in the past 50 years. On Wednesday, it was reported that the US economy contracted for the first quarter of 2025 (the first time in three years), causing yet another stock market sell-off. Bleak! Related: Donald Trump Supporters Are Waking Up To The Reality Of Their Ballot Choices, And The Stories Have My Jaw On The Floor Sooo, Donald Trump did what he usually does, and posted on Truth Social... blaming Joe Biden. "This is Biden's Stock Market, not Trump's." Related: Donald Trump Supporters Are Losing Their Minds Over The New Trump Tariffs, And It's Exactly The Meltdown We All Saw Coming Well, people were quick to point out that he was saying something completely different a year ago when Biden was actually president. On January 29, 2024, he took credit for the booming stock market, saying, "THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN -- AND DRIVE THE MARKET UP." People are very much "Suuure, Jan" about it all. "Welcome to the upside down," one person said. Another person called it a "Struggle bus tweet." And @MorningBrew captioned the comparison, "I'm playing both sides, so that I always come out on top."

Who will be the next Pope? This is what betting markets say
Even before the beginning of the Conclave to elect deceased Pope Francis' successor, gamblers have poured in more than $3 million in bets on who would be the next leader of Catholic Christians read more People pay tribute to Pope Francis following his death, in Westminster Cathedral in London, Britain, April 22, 2025. (Photo: Reuters) Even before the beginning of the formal process to elect Pope Francis' successor, gamblers have started placing bets on who would be the next pope. Francis died on Monday morning in Vatican after months of illness. He was 88. As per the norms of the Catholic Church, a pope is elected in a gathering of senior religious leaders called 'cardinals'. The gathering is called a 'Conclave'. It is usually held 15-20 days after the pope's death. A total of 120 cardinals vote to elect the pope. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In theory, any baptised Catholic man can become the pope. In practice, however, only cardinals have been elected as popes since at least the 14th century. Gamblers pour in $3 million in bets The election of the pope is one of the most secretive processes in the world that literally takes place behind closed doors. Unlike parliamentary or presidential elections, there are no opinion polls or surveys to have any reliable idea who would be elected. Despite such opacity, gamblers have already placed bets of more than $3 million on Polymarket, a well-known online betting portal, according to business news outlet Morning Brew. Italian cardinal Pietro Parolin is the favourite bet of gamblers on Polymarket. The betting platform OLBG reported bookmaker William Hill as saying that Luis Antonio Tagle and Pietro Parolin are the gamblers' favourites to be the next pope. Other favourite contenders of gamblers are Peter Erdo, Peter Turkson, and Angelo Scola, according to Oddschecker. However, gamblers do not have a good track record when it comes to the pope's election. In 2013, even though the gamblers' favourite were Angelo Scola of Italy and Peter Turkson of Ghana, Francis was elected despite being 15th in the gamblers' bets, according to Axios. Bets on pope's elections were once barred For centuries, the Catholic Church had barred bets on the election of popes. In 1591, then-Pope Gregory XIV passed a law that could excommunicate anyone involved in placing bets on the pope's election. However, the law was repealed by the Catholic Church in 1918. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In simple terms, excommunication means an expulsion from the Church as a punishment for an offence.
