Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here.
In this Monday, October 26, 2026, episode of Simple Joe, we're heading to Jerusalem, Israel, and starting with the surprising true story behind Mary Had a Little Lamb. Yes, Mary Sawyer and her lamb were apparently real! We're celebrating birthdays for Pat Sajak, Keith Urban, Seth MacFarlane, Cincinnati's own Bootsy Collins, and Jon Heder, which gives me an opportunity to defend my love of Napoleon Dynamite. We also revisit the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, where I explain why I prefer the movie Wyatt Earp over Tombstone, even though Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday was outstanding. Plus, NASA discovers water on the sunlit Moon, and we celebrate National Pumpkin Day, National Mule Day, National Tennessee Day, and Austria's National Day. Then it's time for Monday's Interesting Headlines! We've got a possible astronomical connection to Van Gogh's Starry Night, a stuffed animal rescued from a storm drain, a combative bird at Chicago's airport, a man's 28-year walk around the world, and a mysterious century-old safe discovered in Michigan. Which story should I explore for Thursday's Story Behind the Headline? Text me at 513-399-6468 or email joe@thesimplejoe.com and let me know!
