three things you need to.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Know for your Friday Rose do you go for us?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Cyber experts are warning people affected by the government shutdowns
to watch out for scammers trying to take advantage of
the situation, Like, we don't have enough to worry about already,
so they're saying it'd be very skeptical of unsolicited emailed
text messages phone calls from people that you don't know
offering help, especially if they're asking for a fee. Just
keep your guards up, the experts say. Make sure to
(00:30):
never give out on any personal information when responding, but
it's best to simply delete the message.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
To help avoid getting act or hang up on those callers.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So yeah, unfortunately, scammers are the scum of the earth,
but here we are. The ALS Association said it will
postpone Saturday's Walk to Defeat ALS in DC due to
the federal government shutdown, so the closure of official events
on the Washington Monument grounds has forced the delay of
the event. Obviously their heartbroken, but they did say that
they are actively seeking alternative dates and venues in the
(01:00):
DC area to ensure that the event can still occur.
Once we know that information, I will let you know,
but yes, the walk is postponed for this Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
And this is really cool.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
American Airlines is changing the way that you book flights.
They are introducing a new AI powered search tool that
lets you plan by experience instead.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Of airport codes. That's awesome, which I love this idea.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So you can type in prompts like a beach vacation
in February under five hundred dollars or a ski trip
after New Year's and then the system will suggest destinations
that fit that. Hell yeah, so like if you and
your girls or whatever are planning a girl should you
can't figure out, you can put it in Boom, It'll
come up with something. Right now, It's only available to
about half of its sites users, with a full rollout
(01:43):
and app version coming soon.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So been out for that. I rose.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Those are the three things you need to know for
the day.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Bank Ross. You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
My father was asking me about the Mexico trip and
asked me where I was going. And my dad love
the man, look up to the man heroes. Certainly, he
sometimes times, I would say, often acts as if I'm
still six years old, Like if he ever comes to
the radio station. He'll ask our bosses like, am I
behaving myself?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
As if I'm saying, I mean, that is a fair question.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Have you yourself?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well, you know, it's just like, yeah, they put me
in charge of the you know, twenty million dollars radio station,
and I think I think there's there's some faith here.
But he was asking my Mexican. He's like, oh, be
careful of my dad. Don't worry. We're staying at this
guy's house we found online. All he asks is that
when we check in, we submit our phones, so we can't,
you know, take photos of his place and give our
passports and social security.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You're awful, and my dad hung up the phone on me.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I would do, I'm sick of listening to you. Would
be like, I'm just trying to ask to make sure
you're gonna be good, and you're just I'm gonna be
ok my time telling me these lies.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So just some boys. Mexico's not ready for us totally.
Last words, you okay, We're fine.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
The hommies though, if we if we do get abductive
by aliens, about half the DJs in the DMV are
gonna be on this trip.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So yes to me that will be unfortunate to be sad.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
So but in other good news, and we're all one
about this Burger King bringing back the ballpits.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Baby.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yes, so they had, Yeah, they had a convention, a
franchise under convention. They're reinducing their theme play areas under ten,
which is very exciting. They well, it's not a thing
I had read somewhere like the reason that the ballpits
and that stuff went away was for McDonald's. They basically
lawyer proofed the restaurants and that's why there's what floor
(03:25):
signs everywhere, even the floor's not wet, so they can say, like,
the signs route and they got tired of lawsuits from
people trying to make money off of that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Because it's so easy to sue because of a wet
floor sign.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
So now they can at least say like, and I
don't think that's factual. McDonald's obviously wouldn't admit that, but
that was an insider had that. But it's like, yeah,
that makes sense that way, you can't say that. So
they're say they're rolling out this next year. They're also
retiring the Creepy King mascot. Burger King used to have
like the guy with like a fake smile. So yeah,
that is I thought he's kind of funny. Yeah, I
(03:56):
thought that was kind of funny too. So they're saying
it was too scary for families, the young children. Okay,
that's not so. The King was officially retired in twenty eleven,
but it's been brought back from time to time for
specific like campaigns. Yeah, they say we had quote, we
had a number of learnings from creepy King. We moved
away from him because he had limited appeal.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
That's wild, though, because like when I was a kid,
I remember we went to this event when I was
like four, maybe at ron at McDonald's, and I was
terrified of Ronald McDonald. I thought he's so scary looking. Yeah,
even as I don't like, that's creepy.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, especially because like the one on TV never looked
like the one the stores, and like it always like
you could tell like something's off here, well.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Like an actual person dressed up. I was like, this
is just like little me. I'm like absolutely not. Yeah,
clowns are different. Yeah, I mean I don't even think
I like registered it was a clown. I was like,
that's dude, you look weird.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, so ball pits are back. Baby, It's it What
a time a lot it really is?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Is it really is? Intern Johnny Morning Show, Leon Thomas,
