Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fred Show, this is what's trendy. The Boston Celtics won
their eighteenth championship last night, one O six eighty eight
game five victory over the Dallas Mavericks, and he thought,
Jason Brown, what's your favorite player on the Mavericks. Maverick, Yeah,
I think there's actually one you would you would you
would particularly care for me. Well, he's a little old

(00:20):
for you. Well there's no such thing. Well no, I'm sorry,
he's too young for you. I met you're old for him. Okay, yeah,
you're right, there is no such thing. I think he's
twenty five. Oh yeah, yeah, that wouldn't work. But he's
you know, that NBA contract. But my favorite player is
definitely Chris Chris, Chris Long, Chris Long on the Mavericks. Yeah,

(00:41):
he is, he is that. He's that girl. Yeah, look
up Luca don Chips, look up, just look up Lucas.
I think it's all you have to stipe in. I
don't think you're gonna find Luca Donches attractive. I don't know,
he's kind of he's in a hat. He's good. Oh yeah, yeah,
like people that look good in the hat. Only I
don't know. He's not I'm not gonna the man is
like a world class exactly. Am I gonna call him pudgy?

(01:01):
He's a little pudgy. Yeah, I don't see him birthday.
Oh yeah, I can see yeah, younger than me, but yeah,
I could see this. You know, if roles were reversed,
I could see him being someone you would be interested in.
H yeah, yeah, if he was like maybe ten years older.
You know, maybe some salt and pepper. Oh okay, well,
you know, once one day, one day, but the and

(01:23):
of course the Celtics of Boston. But your favorite player
on the Celtics Chase as our sports reporter. Yeah, that's yeah,
Drew Drew. There is a Drew on the team. Yeah, exactly,
Drew Strong. Drew Drew Strong. Okay, great, you know that's
that's true. Well he had a great night. Drew had

(01:45):
a great night last night, Christen with a j oh
see exactly. You didn't ask me how to spell Drew. Yeah, yeah,
but that's what you were thinking. Yeah, you know. The
Surgeon General has called on Congress to require warning labels
on social media platforms, similar to those non mandatory impacts
of cigarettes. Apparently, according to doctor Murphy, the Surgeon general,

(02:11):
social media is a contributing factor in the mental health
crisis among young people. He writes it's time to require
a Surgeon General's warning on social media platforms, stating that
social media is associated with a significant mental health harm
for adolescents. A surgeon General's warning label, which requires congressional action,
would regularly remind parents and adolescents a social media has

(02:32):
not been proven safe. He added, evidence from tobacco studies
shows that warning labels can increase awareness and change behavior.
So they put like, they put that on cigarettes, and
I think that's had an impact. And in some states
even put like nasty ass pictures of like tumors and
stuff on the actual does California do that on the
actual packs of cigarettes? Which I don't you know is aggressive.

(02:54):
I'm sure it's preventing somebody from doing something. But they
put calories now on men using stuff? Does that change
anything for you? Like when you go to the when
you go to the fast food place and it's like
a thousand calories for that, You're like, well, yeah, are
you like, you know, I'll take the lower calorie option.
I mean, do you think that a social media warning
that you saw every time you went to look at

(03:15):
TikTok for two hours. Do you think it would change you?
Think you maybe look for an hour and a half
instead hour forty five minutes? Said it too. I just
go right past that warning video and keep remembering you've.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Been scrawling for too long, take a break like nope,
see man.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
First of all, I don't know if it's why it's
talking to you all sexy like that. Yeah, you've never
seen the well. And second of all, I feel much
better about myself because I think I watch a fair
amount of TikTok and I've never seen that. You've never
seen I've never gotten that warning Hey. She's like, as hey,
you've been scrawling for too long. I've never gotten wow.
No wo. I at restaurants that show the calories I think.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I sometimes I'm like, whoa, I did not know.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
That had that many cases? So you see because no,
I don't know. Yeah, fast food, I'm like, oh I
thought it was a lot more. This is a okay.
I'm sure it's working for some people who think like, well,
that's a salad, so that's good for me, and then
it's not. But because oftentimes salads are culprits cheese and
dressing and all the rest. Well, there's let us sit.
It's good. But at the same time, if I'm walking

(04:15):
into a fast food restaurant, I guess consciously it's like
I've already given up, given up on today. You know
where you are? I walked in, you know what I mean? Like,
And that's another TikTok algorithm I seem to be on
for some reason. I must have watched one of the
videos too long. But it's like bodybuilders telling you what
you can order at different fast food restaurants that like
is halfway not terrible, and it's like, but I'm not.

(04:36):
And I understand that for a convenience convenience factor. If
you're out and you're a bodybuilder and you need something
to eat, you know that you're looking for like which
I am obviously looking for something, you know, high end protein,
low end calories and fact, but I don't know if
I walk into it. Whatever. I'm not to pick on
any restaurant, but if I walk in, I've just acknowledged, like,
this is not gonna go well for my body.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm more sit down right, No, Well, yeah, I just
I guess what I'm saying is like, if I'm ordering
the chicken tenders as opposed to the kale salad.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Then I've just decided that, you know, I want to
live a few days less of you know, in the
total lifespan. I mean, but I guess some people aren't
able to do that. I'm more upset that the calories
almost are the same as a price, you know, like
a thousand calories the meals ten dollars. That's a lot
of money. It's like they're they're matching. Now, that's that's
that's the problem that you have with. Yeah, very fast

(05:28):
food is very expensive nowadays. It's insane. Yeah, I just
I don't think the Kiki's gonna watch. She's not here
today because she's off receiving a prestigious award. But I
don't think that that's going to stop her. I think
she's still going to spend eight hours a day on
social media, even with in general warning, Oh absolutely won
she will have that getting her way. Yeah, there should

(05:50):
be a warning about that. How about slipping and falling
while watching TikTok in the shower or getting electrocuted? How
about that? That should be come on surche in general?
How about driving and what TikTok Kiki my biggest concern. Yeah,
and this is also a story that she would be
very happy to hear. I'm sure she's awake in New
York listing before she get her ordinator. Is it today?
I think it's today. It's a luncheon. She receives the

(06:12):
Presidige Awards. None of us were invited to that. By
the way, it's just for women. I think, Well, but
I could be a woman for a day. I mean
Nicola obviously. Yeah. No, I have the outfit, I have
the dress, I have the shoes. I could absolutely show up.
I'm progressive. You should go surprise her. I should. Yeah,
this is for women, this is women. Really, who's to
say I'm not well that that Adams sample and gigantic bulletin.

(06:35):
You're a dressed don't worry about it. I don't think
it's hard to have a gigantic bulletin address that type.
I think anyone with the bullets it look gigantic. Yeah, no,
I mean I don't know. I don't get it. You
guys watch some cabbage Doenner guy. Her. I thought we

(06:58):
fixed that. We did fix it, but I got pregnant.
So the season I was explaining to someone the other day.
We fixed that. We collectively fixed she had some nether
region surgery. Paulina did that. We told her not to
get a long time ago, but she widely widely discussed
along with the BBL and everything else that's been discussed
on the show. But I was having this conversation with
something other the stuff that I know about you guys, like, simiarly,

(07:20):
how do you know that about your cowork I'm like,
because I know everything and they know everything about me.
This is true. Like I know, I know everything, I
know surgeries, I know periods, I know I know everything.
I know every show you asked us to fill that
all out? What I mean, Yeah, Yeah, there's an iPad.
I flipped it over this and then you have to
put the tip. Yeah for me at the end of

(07:41):
every day, I flipped the iPad over and I say,
how good of a job do you guys think I
did today? Ten fifteen actually starts with fifteen fifteen twenty
thirty percent tip. But for this is for Kiki and
Kiki only who I know is awake listing right now.
But the Appeals Court will be hearing arguments in the
TikTok Ban case sometime in September. So, as you may recall,

(08:04):
there was a law passed earlier this year that calls
for the China based Byte Dance Company to sell the
popular social media app by January nineteenth, or have it
banned the US. Oral arguments on legal challenges to the
law will be heard on September sixteenth, So if you're
worried about that, then I suppose you'll have to wait
a few more months. McDonald's is going to remove all
of the AI drive through systems that it had been dead.

(08:27):
It had been testing at more than one hundred locations
in partnership with IBM after video surfaced showing customers struggling
to order with them. The decision comes as quick service
restaurants from Chapotle to Panera have experimented with using AI
from front to back house operations to save labor and
other costs. But the human help required to fill one
every five orders at McDonald's means that it wasn't ready.

(08:49):
So I guess if the AI is asking you for help,
then we need to work on the AI a little bit,
I guess. And what could possibly go wrong? Jason, But Maine,
the state of Maine, which is one of your favorites.
The capital of Maine, of course, being Hobuck Maine is
a whole buck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's close. It's called Banger, Banger, Banger,

(09:11):
mangal Banger. It's called Banger Maine, Banger Maine. I'm not
kidding Banger. I don't know that it's Augusta, Maine. It is.
I thought it was bang the capital. I thought Bangor
was like, shares it in. Are you sure we'll type
in Bangor Maine. You'll see it's a real place. It's
I'm not kidding with you. Oh it's not Wow. Oh

(09:33):
my god. I mean yeah, I'm really stupid. I'm stupider
than you. And I thought I was wow all the time.
Augusta thought, no wonder. I apparently graduated middle school. That
makes perfect sense with your chest. That was in Georgia.
I don't know, girls, I don't know. I don't know
if Google, I don't know if I could get all

(09:54):
the capitals. This is terrible. At forty something years old,
I don't know if you gave me a mess, if
I could get all the capital don't even know the states, girls,
So don't fire. You're right, that's another thing. I don't know.
That I can necessarily tell you where all the states are.
I think it's real fun.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, yeah, the middle of the there and then the east.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
No, I could do the west, I can. I can
do the west coast. But we start to get in yeah,
you get into the northeast. Oh yeah, the little ones.
It's like which one is, which one is Vermont? Like
for what you guys all combined that my GPS knows
where it is. It's fine. My iPhone knows where it is.
It's fine, exactly. It's all good. But to Maine is

(10:34):
running a contest to pick a new state flag design.
This will surely go well. I want to see the rejects.
That's the only ones. I don't want to see the
one you pick. I want to see all the ones
that you didn't pick and why. But yes, Maine is
voting in November on adopting a new flag. Before that, though,
the state has to pick a design. The Secretary of
State has decided that she wants some help on that

(10:55):
task and announced a contest on Friday for residents to
submit their own flag designs. The current flag has the
state's seal a lumberjack is sailor and the state's motto,
which is Latin for I Lead, which is apparently a
reference to the north Star. The deadline to get your
version of the flag in is July nineteenth. I don't
know one can submit. See again, see the submissions. I

(11:20):
really want to see what didn't make it? That's it.
Don't show me what you like, show me what you
really really just don't like. It's National want to get
Away Day to take an impromptu vacation, and National Splurge
Day today as well.
