Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bread show. This is what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I need theme music for this because it's really becoming
becoming a real problem. Peaky, you don't even start. I
have even worse news today for you. I need a
moment at the funeral, President Biden, you always picked a

(00:23):
live versions.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I was there in the audience.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Who's screaming for this song? By the way, wait the
idiot screaming for this song when it comes up?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh yeah, she's gonna do. It's gonna be me this summer.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
This song about being dead I will.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
That is wild.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I've never noticed that in that live version that I've
never heard before of the song that I don't listen to.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
A lot of the Olympic's live versions. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I just slid over whatever I saw. Yes this onely
so excited to hear that song. Wow, that's why I
played a live version Rufio for that. President Biden has

(01:35):
signed a ninety five billion dollar War eight measure that
includes assistance for Ukraine, Israel in Taiwan. He signed that
into law on Wednesday. The bill, though, also has a
provision that would force social media site TikTok to be
sold or be banned in the US. The parent company
will have nine months to sell it or face a
nationwide prohibition. In the United States. The President can grant

(01:55):
a one time extension of ninety days, bringing the timeline
to one year if he started is that there is
significant progress towards executing it. That said, TikTok is gonna
sue Kiky Yes, told you that you're gonna suet court.
They said, rest assure we're not going anywhere. TikTok is
one challenges in the past, and their CEO says that
they will be suing.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
That's right, that's what he should do. Yeah, are you
gonna be Okay? No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I've been making graphics all night. So while they
have a countdown on us, I have a countdown on them.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
So and then being the government, I love them.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I love them, all them eighty year olds in the
Congress exactly two hundred and seventy days.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
So I know we've got two hundred and seventy days
times up times us. Yeah, okay, we are standing obiousness.
Oh wow. This affects Kiki deeply and Jason, you're in
this fight together. TikTok on all day yesterday, numbrance. Yeah,
remembrance this summer be.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
My favorite moment of the show, and we got three
hours to go. The lady's screaming. Someone just text it
Lilith Fair. Yeah, that was absolutely taped a liliths Fair.
There's no doubt about it. I can sell the pachuli
from Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Time my mom went to a little fair and I'm
so jealous.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
I know I want to go back in time. Wow,
Jason and I can go in our broken socks and
have Harry. She's back to shaving her body hair and
my mom, I think so. I don't know. I haven't
asked her in a while, haven't been. Yeah, just look great.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's a requirement for Lilith Fair, though. You cannot shave
your body hair for some period of time. No, yeah,
and you have to scream when she sings.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I will remember you. Everybody's all synced up.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Airline passengers will soon get some relief when it comes
to refunds and so called junk fees. Per new rules
set up by the Biden administration yesterday, airlines must now
show the full price of travel when passengers are booking
the trip. That means that airlines have to advertise all
fees check baggs, reservation charges, cancel agents, meaning they can't
pull a bait and switch by advertising a low fare

(04:09):
and then tacking on various fees at the point of purchase.
You know how I feel about this at hotels too.
Hotels are doing this like crazy, and it bugs the
hell out of me. You go on you know whatever
travel site and you book your hotel and it's like, oh,
you know, this is a good price, that's fine, and
then you show up and it's like resort fee.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I was like, girls a holiday and express what resort Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's like fifty bucks tacked on or whatever, and say, well, oh,
you wanted to like use a lobby, Oh you wanted
Oh you wanted to walk in the hallways. Oh oh
you wanted to go to the pool. That's why I
state at this hotel because you have a pool. You know,
it's oh, you got to pay more for that. It
drives me crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
This is for travel books via airlines and also through
ticket agents as well. Refunds will be much easier. Airlines
must offer cash back automatically within a few days time
for canceled flights or delays that are significant. The regulations
now define what significant means domestic flights held up three
hours of six hours for international flights. Basically, you get
your money back more quickly, more efficiently, and more directly.

(05:13):
And so I guess if you don't starting in, I
guess it needs some time to implement this. But then
you supposed to push for it or telling me no.
Pete Budha Jedge just tell them I know, may repeat
and he said, you know, I heard on the Fred
Show that you're exposed to pie sitting down and I
get my money back for this because you all messed
it up. Walmart is continuing to remove self checkout machines

(05:34):
from its stores, and what it claims is an effort
to improve the instore experience. The real reason, though, is
people are stealing. A new study from Drexel University has
found that the plan to have all of these self
checkout stations to let customers scan their own items to
reduce lines and improve efficiency and cut down on labor
costs really means that people are just stealing more and

(05:56):
it's costing them more, and so stores are removing them.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Now, targets are the same thing. My target doesn't even
use them. Good just blocked off. Put people back to work.
Give those jobs to people who know. I've been winging
it for ten years now. I've been a self checkout
cashier for ten years. Exactly. Someone else needs to do
the job. You were ringing up that TV as a tomato.
I can't do that no more.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, man, they're selling LEDs for dollars twelve a pounds
of it right now.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
You wait to the little camera, high camera. You probably
say a high camera too. When you do it.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
You do.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
And it turns out that half of the world will
need glasses by the year twenty fifty because nearsightedness has
reached epidemic levels. And why do you think that might be?
Because people have their phone in their face. Two recent
studies featuring extensive surveys of children and their parents provide
strong support for the idea that an important driver of
the uptic in myopia is that people are spending more

(06:55):
time focusing on objects immediately in front of our eyes,
be it a screen, a book, or a drawing pad.
The more time we spend focusing on something within arm's
length of our faces the near work, the greater the
odds of having near sightedness. Even activities as valuable, as
reading a book can affect your eyesight. Other research has
shown that this unnatural eye growth could be interrupted by sunlight.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
So yeah, you got the phone in your face all day, Kiki.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
So hey, we manned TikTok, and then we can delay
near sighted this.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
There you go. I like glasses.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
You know, you can figure out your own little vibe
of what kind of glasses you like. Yeah, braves, colors,
we could take the glasses.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Okay, they're awful. I never want to go back to glasses. No, no,
do you like need glasses? No, no, she's going to Yeah,
it's the They're the worst. If you need them.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I hate them.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Well, i'll see when I get there.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
TikTok, I'll do whatever.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
You give me the thickest pair you got, that's right,
give me brace again whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I don't know why your teeth are messed up for TikTok?
But great, what are you doing the phone? Take it
home out of your mouth?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
National Huge Plumber Day, National Teach Children to Save Day
and take your kids to work day.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, the kids were all here. Why what you're doing
it yesterday?

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
There's multiple children outside the studio. I don't want to
go out there. Kids here, I've never seen you want.
They asked me to leave early yesterday. There's a lot
of kids here. I thought they were on the rock station.
I was like, get out of their kids. You're going
to hear some stuff.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah. They were like, we need to go home early tomorrow.
We have children around.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm like, you know, okay, don't scare the kids.
