Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friend of show is on the biggest stories of the day, Kiki.
A lot of people are texting about you.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
You're getting so many scam calls and telling you to
go on that do not call dot gov website. Okay,
but I've always wondered if that was a scam, like
it might put my number on there?

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Am I am? I just advertising? Am I just giving
you my number? Now? Like for more stuff? Like what
is that for? What happens then?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Right? And if they think it's a scam, or if
they know it's a scam, then why don't they just
make it so that person can't call anymore?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
And that's what I want to tell the iPhone because
it's it literally comes up as scam likely And first
of all, why are we calling that?

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Why don't we say it's likely a scam? Do you understand?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, that's too many words, it's likely a scam. Well
that's a full sentence scam. I think I think they
can be simplified.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I'll not take what I can get.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
But yeah, why now thou art receiving a scam at
this moment on a fortnight, Kiki.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Shall not answer?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Let me that this is a scam. But you're letting
them call me, just stop them at the door.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Don't let them.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, I feel like if they if enough people, you know,
it's like and I don't know who who does this?
Like on if you have one of the like a
newer car, and it will tell you if there's a
cop sitting on the side of the road and you
have that, Yeah, but if it's like connected to your car,
then it will take Like how do you do you
just somebody go in there, because maybe I'm just I'm

(01:20):
just not a good person and I don't I don't
take the time when I'm driving to grab my phone
and alert the world.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
To the fact that there's a cop on the side
of the road.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
But somebody must do that, right if somebody has to
report it, Yeah, okay, so then why don't they just
do that? Like if you get enough of enough people, say,
if fifty people in the world say this is a
scam call, then it alerts Apple one. Then you can't
call anymore. Then like the number doesn't work, it's you
can't call an iPhone anymore. Block it, right, Like if
enough people report you as being you know, sinister, then

(01:52):
then I don't have to deal with you anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Exactly because at this point it is it is harassment,
It really is harassment.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
And then the people on TikTok that will like take
hours and hours to stall and like mess with these people.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
That's what Michael did.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Mike was swearing at someone last night because they keep
calling him. They're like, we want to would you like
to sell your property? So he starts like cussing at him,
saying like if I want to sell my property, I
would contact you to sell my property.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Like why are you calling me to ask me if
I want to sell my house? Like I don't. I'm like,
you can't yell at these people.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
That's another thing. Why they why why is everyone want
to buy my house? Like I just got here? Where
am I gonna go? Where were when it was on
the market? Because now I keep getting all these invites
like we'll sell your house, We'll give you cass.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Like do you get the things in the mail with
a picture of your house that says like do you
want to sell your house?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's very taking pictures.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Wow, no one's ever offered it buy my house. It's
probably I don't have the fifth burner?

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, why that joint?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Right?

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Kiky Mi Nana got a blow horn and airhorn to
put it into the phone for telemarketers.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
He really thought she ate with that one. He did,
because they can mow them away. They're like whoa, Like
they don't care.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, you got the people that like on TikTok that
will take hours and hours and hours. And then I wonder,
have you seen the guys that will then like supposedly
hack into the phone calling systems in you know, India
wherever they are, and then pull up their surveillance. I
don't know if this is real, but there are guys
that will, like you, they'll call, they'll mess with them,
and then they'll like reverse engineer it so that they

(03:25):
can figure out who these people are and then they
start calling them out by I don't know if you
just skits or what, but it's like it's like that
they just flip it on these folks that are calling
to scam you.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I would love to do that, but it takes too
much time.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Like doesn't that defeat the purpose if I'm sitting there
for hours messing with you, you know, Yeah, but you.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Get to a breaking point, Yeah, you do. You get
to a breaking point, like what do you want from me?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
And as for the people trying to buy your house.
I see those guys on TikTok too sometimes and it'll
be like on their end, they're making the cold calls,
trying to buy real estate, and it's like not only
will they call and ask if they can buy your
house then insult you with how much. It's like, I'll
give you twenty five dollars at a pizza to your house.
And it's like, first of all, you called me, my
house is not for sale, and maybe you insult me

(04:11):
with a very offensive offer. But people must say yes
to this stuff. They must say yes. I guess they
must sell their out. I mean this must work headlines
this morning. At least nine tornadoes are reported in Wisconsin
and Minnesota on Thursday, displacing residents and prompting shelter in
place alerts. According to a local shriff of one person
was transported to the hospital with injuries and significant damage

(04:32):
was reported in Dodge County, Wisconsin. As of early this morning,
up to three hundred thousand customers were without power in Michigan, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin, with a few strong thunderstorms maybe hitting Mississippi
and Ohio early this morning. More widespread threats could reignite
this afternoon. Missouri and Kentucky also expecting severe thunderstorms thereforecast,

(04:53):
with the possibility of a regional outbreak and a few
intense super cells. All severe weather hazards are on the table,
including damaging winds, large hailed tornadoes, and torrential rainfall throughout
much of the Midwest this weekend, according to the National
Weather Service, first Newark and now air traffic controllers in
Denver lost communications on Monday. Was revealed yesterday that on

(05:16):
Monday ATC and Denver lost contact with planes for about
ninety seconds as they were heading into Denver International Airport.
The main communication lines went down, the radar stayed on,
Controllers quickly switched to backup frequencies to talk to pilots.
Up to twenty pilots couldn't reach controllers during the outage.
The FAA said that no planes were in danger and
flights kept running normally.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
The cause of the.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Communication failure is being investigated, but it's the latest inner
string of FAA equipment issues, including two separate outages at
the Newark Airport. I mean, it's fine, we don't have
to talk to them, Okay, what does do we do
our own thing.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's what I do when I'm flying my little pup
pup plane and you know I can't get a hold
of them.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
I just do my own thing. Nothing bad can happen.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Then I need to give my license for the air.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah yeah, because this is crazy, your license for there?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Call it over there, pilot's license. I go to the DMV.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well, yeah, when you get your real ID, they'll give
you one of those two. Just just tell them that
you want one. It's like the motorcycle thing, you know,
just to it's a quick lap around the around the
parking line.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Of the plane and you got it.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
And how would you having a pilot's license help with
this communication issue?

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Because I need to.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Be able to fly me and us, you know, like
you know, we can't bother you all the time as
somebody else on the team needs to be able to
fly the plane. I order my little pilot outfit from Amazon. Okay,
don't get my real idea.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Because I put on a full pilot outfit every time
I go out there to go flying, like I full
on Britney's There's Toxic music video. I have that outfit.
Sometimes I wear that. It really depends on the days
you know what's the temperature outside. But y'all know full
I wear the bar. I'm a captain of my own
of my own ship, and I wear a little hat
and you know, the jacket and the whole thing. I

(06:53):
got my little roller bag. Oh, I absolutely do.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah. Oh, point, you can't why go be a pilot
if you can't put the outfit on.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, I think that's I think that's the point of
becoming your own pilot is that you don't then you
don't have to put the outfit on.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Oh you fly sweats would Yeah, I don't believe it
or not.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's not an FAA requirement that every pilot were a
full uniform.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Oh. Now, you do a little safety message before.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
You take off to yourself. Absolutely you talk to the
dogs like.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Look, yeah, I do from the flight deck which is
four feet away from you. You can see me, you know. Yeah,
Oh I breathe the dogs. Absolutely. Is how you get
the door open. That's my favorite thing is it never fails.
I would say eighty percent of the time when I
do these dog rescue trips, right, I fly the plane
and go pick them up and move them from from
pilots and pause from the at risk, you know, kill

(07:40):
environments to no kill plays that the people from the
rescue WI will give me the dogs and will load
them up, and then they'll say, so, the dog's gonna
be okay, right, And I look at him, like, what
about the pilots?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Right? Am I gonna be okay? Like, yes, the dogs
are gonna be okay. But it's like, you know what
about me, right?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I know, we don't care about you, but like, the
dogs'll be okay, of course, and I agree with them.
I mean, the dogs are more important than I am.
But it's like, well, I'll be okay, which means they'll
be okay. Thank you for your concern in my pilot's outfit,
which gives me a lot of credibility.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
You know. People take me very seriously with that.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
And speaking of which, by the way, excellent Transitionkiki Klein's
Vision air Car is the first mass produced flying car
and is set to go on sale in early twenty
twenty six. Will cost you between eight hundred grand and
a million dollars. Paulina already has ordered too, to go
with her Wi Fi Oven. The vehicle boasts a six
hundred and twenty mile flight range and a cruising speed
of one hundred and thirty five knots or one hundred

(08:37):
and fifty five miles an hour. The model can also
reach heights of up to ten thousand feet, which could
increase the or would need the installation of oxygen tanks
at some point, I guess. But in addition to it's
flying amenities, the aircar's features on the ground include a
driving range of five hundred miles. It can hit speeds
of one hundred and twenty four miles an hour on

(08:58):
the road.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
It can work, apparently, is what I was about to say.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Transitioning between air travel and road driving modes could be
completed automatically in under two minutes with the involvement of
retractable wings, of folding tail and a parachute deployment system.
There you go, yep, So you get your pilot's license,
you get your driver's license, you get that car. Kiki,
you're flying, you're driving, you're tiktoking, you're doing at all?

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yes, I feel like Parlena would get one of these.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Two, Like, no, we don't need polyN to get right
land on the bill.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
What place is quicker?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
We know, let's just stick to the road. Is we're
working on the road.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
We got to working on land.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I mean, I guess the air would be there would
be you know, a little more room right for mistakes,
for errors.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
You know, that's true.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
There's no one crossing the road right like I am
known for, like pulling up on people wh they're bus
across the road.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
That wouldn't happen in the air.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Think about that. Think about it.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, But I mean, enough of these, enough of these
flying cars, and then you're gonna have traffic jams in
the sky.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Now, So that's what they gotta limit us. It's just
gonna be me and my fellow pilots. Oh no.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
And what's funny is Pauline was already wearing the uniform today.
I was wondering why you were wearing a pilot uniform.
That's why, because you're going to get your real ideas.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
I'm really excited.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
The Florida city of Naples comes in at number one
on the US News and World Report list of the
best cities in America to live in, and this is
based on They looked at one hundred and fifty major cities.
To make the top of the list, the place had
to have a good value, a desirable. It had to
be desirable place, have a strong job market and high
quality of life. Very vague all of that. I don't

(10:33):
know what that. It wouldn't have depend on who you are. However,
Naples is number one. Then Boise, Idaho, Colorado Springs, Greenville,
South Carolina, Charlotte, Raleigh, there you go, Huntsville, Virginia, Beach, Austin,
and Boulder. But yet, I mean, it has to be desirable,

(10:54):
wouldn't I again, like, if it doesn't depend on what
I want in my real what you desire? Right, it
seems objective. Yeah, that's what I mean. But according to
these people, those are Naples is number one. Let me
see here. Oh, so you know a lot of teachers
listen to us for some reason. I don't know why,
because I would think that if you're a teacher of children,

(11:17):
this would sound a lot like them talking to you. Yes,
and you deal with that all day, So why would
you listen to this all? I don't know, but we're
glad that you do. However, the tables have turned. A
college student busted her teacher for using AI and is
now demanding a tuition refund. A student at Northeastern named
Ella was surprised to discover that the instructor in her

(11:39):
organizational behavior class was using chet GPT to shape lessons
despite the corsyllabus forbidding students from using AI. So the
students can't use AI, but the professor can. She's now
demanding an eight thousand dollars tuition refund, arguing that she
paid to be taught by a human, not an algorithm.
The university has denied her request, but the incident has

(11:59):
gnited a broader conversation about the role of AI in education.
The difference being the teacher presumably already knows the information.
So if the teacher wants to organize the information that
they presumably already know using AI, that's fine. But the
student who's supposed to be learning this stuff and may
not know it, may not you know, AI would then
be doing the work for them.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
That would be my argument. I guess, well, how.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Do we know that the teacher knew the information?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well, because in theory, they would have more education. I mean,
if you're teaching somebody hopefully vetted you, maybe you have
a master's degree or a doctorate or what, so you've
already proven that you know this stuff somehow, and This.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Is why it's getting dangerous.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
It's getting scary because some new teachers may be based
off AI, like they got through school, gotten through school
with AI.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I mean I guess yeah, I mean yeah, but that
would be my thing. I guess I would say. It's like, well,
you have to know this stuff. I already knew this stuff.
So is or whatever. That's what I would say, So whatever,
so whatever, who so whatever about your trouble about your
refund and a Snoopy story. Snoopy is getting his own Tamagatchi.
Now I'm a Peanuts fan, but I'm not going this far.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Legos is one thing, or are one thing or whatever,
but I'm not walking around with the tamagachi or whatever.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
It's not happening or whatever. That's my thing today.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Japanese toy manufacturer Bandail, he said, is marking the seventy
fifth anniversary of Charles mmatt schultz Peanuts comic strip with
the release of an all new Tamagatchi Nano featuring Snoopy
and the rest of the Peanuts Gang.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
It'll be thirty one bucks.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
It'll hit stories in Japan on July twelfth, So and
if you're not familiar with that.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's this little egg thing.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
It's got a screen on it and you push buttons
and the objective is to keep this thing alive.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
And when we were young, it was like, I don't
know what it was, a tamagachi, but I don't know
what they were, little chicks or something. What were they?

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what the characters were.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
But everybody had to have one of these things, and
it was you know, you had to I guess you
had to feed it.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I can't remember why.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I have anxiety, honestly, you know you had to make
sure this thing stayed alive.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
It came out of an egg, alien features from another planet.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
There was an egg involved, and my mom had to
take mine to work to feed it during the day
so I didn't die.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
When I was in school, yeah, that was good.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
The best parents.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, my mom would have said, I have to work
that things girl.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (14:17):

Speaker 4 (14:39):
Because it's just I've never been asked that. But no,
I don't.

people at home too. You have what I don't have?
