Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Friends and the biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
All Right, you know there are baby names that are
banned in the US. The US Supreme Court is banning
nearly a dozen baby names. This is according to usbirthertificates
dot com. You can't name your your kid King, Queen,
Jesus Christ. I guess that's illegal in the United States.

(00:23):
And you also should avoid naming your kids Santa Claus, Majesty,
Adolf Hitler, and Roman numeral three since those are not
up to snuff with the US government. Nutella, Messiah, the
at symbol, the number ten sixty nine. Each US state

(00:44):
fall is its own set of name guidelines, but typically
ban numerals, emojis, and special characters. The fact that we
have to have legislation telling you not to name your
kid an emoji is a problem.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Or Hitler man, look here, little off right?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
You shouldn't need that?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Should mean my little baby Adolf Hitdler?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Like? What do you like? Why why do you hate
your kid?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
But king and Queen is weird? Like why can't I
name my kid king or Queen?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I don't know, and I feel like I know kids
name king? Right, I guess you're not supposed to According
to this is against the lamm. Not sure, crazy, Kaylin.
This is for you and only for you. McDonald's is
bringing back a long requested, cult favorite food item, the
snack wraph.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's back, that's what they said.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's back. As if they made a statement. They had
to make a statement yesterday. It will return to McDonald's
men using July tenth as the company struggles to turn
around the sluggage starts of the year. Chicken, lettuce, cheese,
and a tortilla. There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
It makes me a little emotional. It did yesterday. However,
it looks a little different. So McDonald's you bet not
play with the og recipe.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
The chicken looks a little different.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Have you tried the new strip yet?

Speaker 3 (01:58):
So no, I haven't tried the strip.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
But when the snack rep was on the menu, I
think they used the chicken selects. Remember the chicken selects
in there. So I have not tried the new strips,
but I know they're different from the selects.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
They're good, though, Are they good?

Speaker 5 (02:11):
They are good?

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Okay, let's not mess with it.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I haven't had a I haven't had a select or
a strip because I go for the McNugget. Yeah, so
I feel like if I got something else it would
be it would be different, like McNugget, like the caters
to my nostalgia.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
I think the strips are chicken.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
I don't know it's.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Supposed to be. Well, then whatever they are, here's what
I don't get. Though.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Franchisees reportedly complained that the chicken snack wraps were too
complicated to make hi, too complicated to make chicken, lettuce,
cheese and a tortilla. I guess the rolling part is
supposed to just slapping a butt on.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Top of it.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
They barely rolled it. Mine was always like.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Open but yeah, yeah, anyway, I guess it's not real.
Some franchises even kept making it until twenty twenty, well
after they had eliminated the item, Like it was like, no,
we'll keep making them.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
So there you have.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
The tortillas for the breakfast burrito. You already have.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, I don't know if they had the sprinkle cheese,
so that might have been the only thing you have the.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Like this shread and cheese.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Yeah yeah, salads, I think so they probably you had that,
but you.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Got rid of salads.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
I thought I did, because.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Let's face that, they like most of the restaurants are
just the same items. It's like Taco Bell. Oh yeah,
Taco Bell is eight ingredients made fifty different ways.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Perfection it is.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's like, do you want how do you how exactly
would you like us to give you the beef and cheese?
Do you want us to put it in a taco?
Do you want us to put it in a like
a press right in pin right exactly? Do you want
us to just pour in your mouth? And why does
that cheese instantly become hard? I want to know, like,
do you ever find the Taco Bell cheese? Because very like,
oh yeah, do you ever find it?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Like it's like.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Fifteen minutes later, it's hard as a rock. You could
you could like chisel glass with it, Like I didn't
get hard so fast?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Right, man?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
And I also don't believe these are coming back because
they've been doing this to me for years.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
So I don't know. They had a press conference, they
had a whole thing.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Okay, it's serious.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
Even Popeye's just released one because they're trying to compete,
right girls, So I think, yeah, well looks good though.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
I loved Buys, but yeah, we'll see July tenth, I'll
be there, you know, hoping and wishing.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I know, I think you'll be there. You've been there
every day, right before lunch.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Every day.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
You've been there at ten twenty nine. Okay, is today
that They're like, No, not today, Kaitlin. You can go
home now, right?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:33):
I hope they have the Krispy Ranch because remember they
had barbecue and her Crispy Ranch.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, the Krispy Ranch snackrap. That's what I would order.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Because that variation of it. I see. I'm like, what's
Krispy Ranch? Like what?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I don't think your ranch is supposed to be crispy?
That means I think it means she've had it for
too long. You should get rid of it. These folks
at Aldi. You know these folks. Now, I've been doing
all the time, but I've never really paid attention to
the packaging.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
I sort of see what's going on here.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
But the maker of Oreo Cookies and other popular snacks
are suing Aldi, accusing the supermarket chain of creating copycat
packaging that blatantly infringes on its own trademarks for various brands.
So per NBC News, is a seventy two page complaint
found in May by the company, the conglomerate that makes Oreos,
and they say that packaging is likely to deceive and

(05:26):
confuse customers and dilute the distinctive quality of their unique
product packaging, and if not stopped, threatened to im irreparably
harm and damage its valuable brands. Now, if you look
at the Oreo packaging side by side to the packaging
of the Aldi original cookie, it is the same blue,

(05:48):
It is the same cookie on the front of it.
It is the same white font. They know what they're doing,
and I guess they do the same thing with wheat thins,
rich chips, ahoy, nutter butter and mellow way. First, like
if you're not, if you're just like quick looking like
oh I want some Oreos, boom, grab it. It looks
just like the Oreo cookies that you would buy their
named brand Oreo cookies.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I went back to the day and I was like, well,
they have this, they have them.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
They didn't, but they looked just like it, like with
those gals whatever vanilla wafer things.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
I know, exactly, change one.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
So now that's a big lawsuit because they have change
the packaging because it's like I see what you're doing.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
There, gotcha. Oh the has been doing this.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I mean, but it's not as they sell oreos there
where like you're taking away from people buying actual oreos
for the knockoffs.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Well I think they did. Sorry, oh they did.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
They have actual oreoles.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
You have the time I go there, it's like weird.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
So you don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
You're confused because you don't know the different. I see,
this is what I'm saying. You know, you don't want
to exhibit a right here, Jason Brown.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
They're gonna ask me to toest to five.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
They are going to ask you to testify in the
Karen Reid trial. They're gonna ask you to talk about oreos.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
I stand with aldi.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Uh. I mean, yeah, you're gonna have to change the
packaging a little.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
They did steal their baby name, but I get it.
You know.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
According to Iranian researchers, kissing can spread depression. This is
another thing. What was it last week or were we
talking about this last week? I can't sing? Is it
the same story?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
It can spread depression and anxiety. And researchers looked at
hundreds of newlywed couples that found that one spouse had
trouble sleeping and more and poor mental health. The other
partner would suffer from similar symptoms six months later. They
think the bacteria transmitted by the depressed partner could be
to blame. Or it could be that you're married, could
be that too. Damn, that could be for some people.

(07:32):
Maybe you're in a bad relationship. Maybe it's a person
that you're kissing that's causing the problem, and not necessarily
the you know, DNA of the germs or whatever else.
A state had to pass an emergency truck nut legislation.
This is a real story. Today, Idaho has passed House
Built two seventy, expanding its indecent exposure laws to include
not just real anatomy, but also novelty items like the

(07:54):
infamous truck nuts. These plastic or metal accessories resembling male
genitalia and often hung from vehicle hitches, are now considered
illegal to display publicly in this state. So Jason and
not canably go to Idaho. I'm sorry, and Paulina, you're
gonna have to get those things off your pet cruiser.
The law, which took a meating effect under an emergency clause,

(08:16):
makes it a misdemeanor to expose or display items resembling
genitals or female breasts, with repeat offenses escalating to felony charges.
Supporters there are supporters. They argue that the legislation upolds
public decency standards well.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Critics there are.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Critics contend that it infringes on free expression and could
disproportionately affect certain communities. Wow, I gotta have my truck nuts,
guys like I have to you. Guys are really infringing
on my ability to express myself.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's terrible.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
And A woman was arrested after allegedly entering a restricted
area in a funeral home and taking a wig off
of a dead body.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
This happened in Tyler, Texas. Her name is Tania.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
She'd come into a prepper area the day before and
stolen the item off the dead body. An employee had
seen her leaving the garage that connects to the restricted
prep room with a reddish brown wig in her hand.
The director said that they realized that what was missing
from a body the next day. She's been charged with
theft of property from a human corpse and booked into
the Smith County Jail with bond set at seventy five

(09:21):
thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
How much is a wig? How much is a nice wig?
Like a real nice wig?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
One thousand dollars, one thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Thousand dollars. And is that worth having on your record
that you sole property from a human corpse.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Something tells me she was going to bring it back.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Why are we borrowing weeks from a dead person?

Speaker 5 (09:40):
That tells me she was just wearing it for the
night and she was going to bring it back the
next day.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Some tells me this.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Person had more than one wig. So like, if it's
a family member or something and you you wanted a wig,
they can have. I think if you have multiple wigs,
how you have multiple weak?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Speak? You don't?

Speaker 2 (09:53):
So one get God forbid a million years from now
when you go to heaven, you get one for your
casket and your family can divide up the other wigs. Absolutely,
but one gets to go. You don't have to go
ball headed into heaven.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
Bury me with the best week, Like I want my
top notch the fly is week that I have.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
That's the one I need to wear when I go
to meet the Lord.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, yes that would be messed up though.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Don't care what y'all do with the other weeks after
that is.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Here you wake up and you're in heaven and here
we go, and then you like touch your head and.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
You're like, you're like, what is going on?

Speaker 2 (10:24):

Speaker 1 (10:24):
And then somebody walking around Paulina walking around.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
With a wig one outside to get Yeah, if you
steal from a dead body in any form, like that's
messed up. You're sick on many levels. It's National Hug
Your Cat Day, National Clean Beauty Day, National Safety Day
