Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right, the biggest stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Good morning everyone, what do I have for you? All?
The twenty twenty five MTV VMA nominations have been announced.
Maybe Caitlin has more on that, but Lady Guy, guys
leading the pack, Skittles, Hershey, and Nsley are all removing
artificial colors from their food at some point in the
near future. Authorities are warning against pulling the hot water
(00:22):
Challenge prank. So another day, another thing we're not supposed
to do. This one involves hot water. They're reaching a
warning to parents about a poorly thought out social media
prank involving boiling water. Officials are speaking out after a
child in Pennsylvania was severely burned by his older brother
who was trying to recreate the prank. The police there
said that a twelve year old boyt boiled water in
the microwave and then poured the water on his sleeping
(00:43):
nine year old brother, part of what's known as the
hot water challenge, where boiling water is dumped on someone
who's not expecting it.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
How about we don't right.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Parenting caregivers are being reminded to monitor their child's online
activity to hopefully guard against similar situations. That is that
is pouring boiling water on people. No, don't do it.
We don't, We're not. It's not necessary.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Maybe I know.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Walmart has shared that they're expanding their drone delivery service
to five more states, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina.
So if you're in Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa,
you can sign up for the service. One hundred more
stories will now be able to deliver by drone. It's
twelve ninety nine per delivery in nineteen ninety nine. I
guess it could be cheaper if you're a Walmart Plus subscriber.
(01:27):
The drones radius for deliveries it is about six miles.
I'm not sure how much they can put on this thing.
Or like when I'm going to have my preparation preparationation
dropped on my head as I'm going somewhere, you know,
like I need emergency whatever from Walmart. I need some
milk and then I'm walking down the street walking my
dog and then the drone flies over and drops some
milk and then I'm dead. And then a kid comes
(01:48):
over ports hot water on me from TikTok and then
the whole thing's over.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
This drum stuff's freaking me out a little bit because
you know, it's gonna be Lord of the flies in
no time. I mean, we we are. I feel like
if droned liveries are become what Uber was, you know,
ten years ago, was like was it maybe not ten,
maybe thirteen, fourteen years ago, it's like Uber, what's that? Oh,
it's this thing on your phone. It's an app and
then it sent a black card to your wherever you
(02:13):
are and it's cheap, you know, And it was like
that was this novel concept, and now all this time later,
it's a it's a it's it's a noun, it's a verb,
it's whatever else. They're everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's uber if us my dad, yeah, my.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Grandma used to call it. We used to send uber form.
But now there are ubers everywhere. If this drone thing
is really gonna be a thing and they're gonna be everywhere,
we're not gonna be able to see the sky, right,
We're gonna be a little bit of drones and buzzing around.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
The FAA has already had enough going on, Okay, we
don't need this. How much traffic going on up there.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
There's a Lakinsa by Wyndham hotel in Miami. This sparked
outrage after a video went viral. I saw this showing
guests being checked in via a video call with an
overseas worker in India. So there is no reception desk
at this hotel. You walk up to a screen and
there's a dude with a headset in India, and he says,
welcome to the window, and you're like, yeah, I'm checking in.
My name's you know, Fredrico. And they go cool and
(03:06):
they do the whole thing over to screen. There's nobody there.
I guess people are criticizing the move as outsourcing American
jobs demanding penalties. Yeah, well, whatever it is. I'm more
concerned about the fact that, like, I can't think I
want a person at the hotel. I think I want
a person. I want a person, Like, could you know
what if the room's messed up? What does that clean?
I don't know why I want a person. How is
(03:27):
it going to validate my parking? Who's going to validate
the party? I mean that's my biggest concern so always.
Right now they released the statement clarified in my emy
location it's independently owned franchise, not brand approved, and that
their standards require a person physically stationed at the front
desk at all times, and these guys didn't do that.
That's strange, though.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Sometimes I want to be greeted by a human being,
even if they're rude, I still want to be I
just want to know that I could go down there
and be like, hey, I want you know, can have
a towel and they throw it at me or something,
stressing me out right?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Remember I went to the Guano and I had to
talk to a nurse on an iPad.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That's weird. It was weird.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I was like, am I going to have to set
the iPad and the stirrups and do my exam that way?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
They're like, hey, grab that that thing, okay now? Scooch scooch,
scooch scooch.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh yeah, I always got a scoochy he got a scooch? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What was the deal?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
So they don't send like a pre nurse and the
pre nurses on an iPad on an iPad and then
they send the doctor in. There was no nurse.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
She told me, now you can get undressed you can
put me in the door.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
On the outside.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
There was a little iPad holder because I was like,
am I gonna, you know, put my gown on in
here with you?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Right there?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
She was literally in her living room in front of curtains,
and she did the whole intake.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Interesting it was, I just come on, yeah, I had like.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
A sinus infection a couple of months ago, and I
had to do the same thing. It was like a
virtual visit and the guy was in his house and
I'm like, I see your pickleball player get like rackets
hanging to the bat.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
How does he know that it was a sinus infection?
Doesn't he need to do something?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I don't know. I just I described what was going on,
and they were like, okay, cool, we'll send this and
this to this place.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Have a good day.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And then it's like bye, oh okay. And I don't
know about this. But Sketchers has rolled out a new
kid sneaker line and called Find My Sneakers, with a
hidden compartment under the insole designed to house an Apple
AirTag for location tracking. The compartment is secured by a
screw tight lid and it's invisible to the outside and
makes the shoes look like any other pair of shoes.
They're priced at about fifty eight bucks. Supporters praise the
(05:16):
design as a practical safety feature, an unobtrusive way to
prevent lost shoes and potentially help track kids when phones
aren't practical. They say the air tag won't interfere with
wireless signals and is well hidden to prevent tampering. Critics
are saying, though, that they have concerns over privacy, consent,
and parenting. Many of you the hidden trackers a step
toward surveillance parenting, and worry that it normalizes tracking children
(05:39):
without their knowledge. Experts warn a potential psychological and ethical implications.
So if Jigi is I don't know, five years old
and goes to the pool or goes to her friend's house,
and you don't want to lose the shoes, or you
want to make sure that.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I mean, I guess I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Do you really need to explain to your five year
old that you put an AirTag in her shoes so
that you can be certain that she's safe? Is that
bad parent? Parent? Am? I? Am? I? At five years old?
Do I Are you invading my privacy? You can't tracking me?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
You can't wait for your butt properly at five, Like
that's crazy. My daughter is getting an air tag, she's
getting the backpack, we're getting the leash, we're doing the
little thing where I cough her to me like, uh,
I don't care. I don't play with that, no, cause
kids get away from you so quick you turn around
like that's them all this weekend. I turned around, She's
out out the door because I took her out of
the stroller. She's already out the door at the store.
And I'm like, I literally screamed. I was like, imagine
(06:27):
if I didn't turn around in that second, like you know,
where would she be?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And I don't trust people, okay out this world. Nope,
we're getting two air tags.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
When do you think as a kid that you get
the expectation of privacy, Like is a teenager maybe thirty five?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Never? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
My mom always thought never, and I was pissed, But
I agree now they don't. You don't need privacy for
a very long time.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yes, I feel though that maybe you should tell your
kid like like like find my location, hey, or Life
three six or whatever whatever. That that app is that
the parents can watch their kids It's like I think
it should just be the expectation, but I think they
should know. You know. It's like so that I understand,
but maybe as a teenager, but as a kid, I
(07:07):
don't know why we're I mean, you're five years old,
like I'm looking out for you.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Someone could like statue like I don't. I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I see that. This seems like an overreaction. It is
ethical implications, potential psychological You know, I need consent to
track my child with this way.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Man, I don't want to buy some new shoes. I
don't want you to lose your shoes.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, I would say teenager though, and that I would
say maybe to your point, you have the right in
today's society to want to know where they are at
all times. But you can tell them like just so
you know, I'm i'm we have this thing going on,
and if you turn it off, then I'm I'm gonna
come hunt you down. Like it's for your safety. But
I think it would be a little messed up if
you didn't tell your kid that you were tracking them.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't know how you do that because it's on
their phone.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well you could put like a you could put an
air tag in their car. There are other things you
could do, like unannounced to them, and I think I
think the point would be that you try and establish
some form of trust between them and communication and that
they don't feel the needs to lie to you. But
I don't know. I think it's one thing to say,
I'm putting an AirTag in your shoe, kid, and and
(08:11):
then you know it and don't take it out. If
you take it out, then we're gonna have a problem.
I think it's another thing if you put it in
there and you didn't tell them, and and then you
were tracking them. You don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You're my kid. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I'm not.
I don't have to run anything past you. Period. Sorry,
That's probably why I don't have kids.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
But if I want to track you, you're being tracked, and
I I want to tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
If I don't want to tell you, it's completely between
me and the Lord. I'm gonna do what I want
to do.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That's why you've never got any pregnant kick you because
your kid is up there and having a waiting to
come down and being like, no, I didn't consent to that.
I didn't consent to that at all, and she going, hey, God, God,
do you hear that She's gonna AirTag me.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Okay, I didn't airtagged you.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I antagged your daddy.
