Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fresh Show. This is what's trending, all right, Kiki,
Oh boy, what now? I spoke with several governors this morning.
My man JB. I called him to make sure this
wouldn't happen.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Okay, he says, everything's going to be okay, JB.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Don't play with me, my man JB.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
But the Governor of New York has signed a bill
into law yesterday taking aim at social media for children
and teens. And Kiki, it's the Safe Act, Safe for
Kids in Kiki Act, okay, and it requires social media
companies to restrict what it calls addictive feeds for social
media users under the age of eighteen. The law would
also bar any notifications from social media between the hours

(00:37):
of midnight and six am without parental consent. Any new
age verification and parental consent tools would be set by
the States Attorney General. And of course a bunch of
people are suing about this, and Kiki included because it
violates the First Amendment.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Kiky says, uh huh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, I should be able to get notifications whenever I want.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well, turns out you're over the age of eighteen, so
it's going to be okay. Okay, Meta issue a statement
saying it doesn't support all parts of the law. It
does support legislation that require app stores to get parent
approval to download apps to begin with. The new law
is said to take effect one hundred and eighty days
after the new rules and guidelines are set by the
Attorney General. A five thousand dollars per violation fine to

(01:18):
the platforms once she goes when once.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
This goes in Neto effect and habits, you know what,
I'm mad at this law. I actually stand behind this one.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I think so you think that kids should spend less
time on the apps, yes, but you can spend it
all the time you want.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Ye, I've already messed up my life.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah. I have no social skills outside of this microphone
in this room.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I don't want to hold a conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I just want to scroll.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Who you talking about. So that's not because of social media.
That's just because that's just because I'm me. But it's funny.
I'll talk to Kiki. Hey, Kiki should be hold on
and she'll make a TikTok video to respond to my question.
Like you can't actually look me in the eye and
do it. I'll be like, hey, what's up this weekend?
She'd be like, you better watch this. I already said
on my story you can go watch it.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
And I don't want that for the next generation. So
let's fix them. We're already broken.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I mean to certainly, I get it. I just know.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I mean, I don't know how they're gonna enforce it, really,
because I mean we're talking about fake id's and whatever else,
Like our kids are gonna go in there and say
on my parents and change the settings or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
And I don't know smart you.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Know, I discovered kiki what TikTok on the TV?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Wait? What you like?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
If you have a smart TV, there's a TikTok app
you can download and then you log in and then
use your remote to swipe.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
So I just I you don't even have to hold
up the phone anymore. I don't wow another social media app.
But I'm just watching TikTok.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
So you ram up and then your TikTok him. I
can have to cut both of them.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I was like, what talk TV like and then just
the remote to the next one.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I'm oh, yes, bros.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Name maybe you guys know somebody like, this has never
happened to me though, But have you ever watched so
much TikTok that your hand falls asleep?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:12):
But I dropped the phone on my face too, because.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I'm watching lay in Bed.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I hold my phone up like this and I'll just
see scrolling and before long, I'm like, my hand starts
to go numb.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yes, okay, you know what. I'm in favor of this
law for everybody. We need it.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, on your TV friend, lay in bed comfortably. The
rising cost of living. And here's another thing. It makes
you feel like an old person. But I find myself
walking around all the time, going God, everything is so expensive?
Why is everything so damn expensive? And I say it
to myself and I'm like, what am my peepaule?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Really?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I really am, Like, I'm an old man now and
I'm not that old. But nearly nine in ten Americans
have seen their cost of living increase over the past
five years, and a new study has found this is
having a massive impact on shopping habits. People are now
reconsidering spending on fun. Two thousand adults were asked about this.
They now spend most of their money on essentials like groceries,
clothing and home goods when shopping online. Over three and

(04:12):
four believe inflation is to blame for their cost of
living increases. Sixty one percent of people are shifting their
current online shopping habits. People are shopping less, often buying
only necessities and buying the cheapest version of the products
if they want to keep their costs down. There's another problem.
It's TikTok shop. That's another place you can get yourself
in big trouble because it doesn't even take it. It's

(04:33):
like one click and it's on the way. It knows everything.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
And they better not ever charge us as a subscription,
like if we can put it on the TV, now,
let us just enjoy it, because this is gonna you know, Netflix.
You want to act up, you want to count about
our plans, don't worry.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
We got TikTok, yeahtok.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
The online shopping they got you because it used to
be like it used to be, even if it would
fill the format for you automatically, like you still had
to kind of click and it was still like a
little bit of a process, even if your phone knew
your a dress and everything. And now if you do
like Apple pay or any of those it just already
knows it. It's like you want to you want to
pay for this, Okay, click boom on it's being in
my house.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, did you have my door? It just got delivered
and I get just got charged. So wonderful.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's no, it's not because before long I've spent like
two hundred bucks on stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I'm like what, I just what I want? I mean,
what if my money goes it's like so cheap too.
It's like it's always like fifty off. I'm like, okay,
I gotta get it now. That's how they get you.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's influence and I love that when they're like, well
this was this was two hundred dollars. Who said it
was two hundred? That was a fake number. It should
never have been two hundred. Like that's the other thing.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I always say, like it's only three left, right, only
three left? Oh, I better get one, and then you
go back the next day there's still three.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Exactly. No, where'd you make up the first number? It's like,
oh my god, it's half off. That's incredible. It's like
it never should have been that much to begin with.
This sucks for this cyclist, a British cyclist named Katie Archibald.
I mean, how long do you prepare to be an
Olympia in your whole life? Probably? Yeah, and then you
had a train and all the trials and whatever else.
She's thirty years old and she's not going to the

(06:09):
Paris Olympics as planned due to a freak accident that
happened this week. She wrote on Instagram that she was
gardening and she missed a step and she managed to
somehow dislocate her ankle, break her tibia and fibula and
rip two ligaments off the bone, and now she can't
go to the Olympics. Like literally one misstep. Oh wow,

(06:29):
And I mean who's to say. I hope she heals
and you know, tries again in what eight years? But yeah,
I mean thirty eight Now, I don't know. I don't
know how psychlist or is it only four? Is every
two years? Anyway? Point is all that work and then
in like two seconds, it's just done.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's terrible.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's like the you know, when rookies get drafted in
the NFL or whatever and they go to summer training
camp and they rip their acl and it's like yeah,
and they haven't even play an NFL game. Haven't play
an NFL game yet and they lose all the trajectory.
It's like so sad, guys, we can't use the word
cockpit anymore. We also can't use the word guys. And
I just said, guys, we can't use anymore if you're

(07:05):
an airline pilot, because the Airline Pilot Union wants to
eliminate those words. The world's largest airline pilot union wants
airmen and women to stop using terms purportedly offensive to women,
calling out terms like cockpit as non inclusive. The Airline
Pilot Association lists numerous terms of praises to avoid especially
masculine generalizations. But the term cockpit comes from cockfighting in

(07:29):
sixteenth century England. It has nothing to do with anatomy. Oh,
like it was.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's only for the men in this right. Here's I'm
fine with.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm fine with the general idea here, But like, I
never thought of cockpit as a male thing, and now
I am so like this. I don't know that this
was I think it just has people thinking of things
now that they never thought of before. That's not where
the word came from. No, it's not called the man's
flight deck, you know. It's moosedly a flight deck. Now
we cannot say cockpit anymore because supposedly the term is

(08:01):
offensive and it's been using a derogatory way to exclude
women in the piloting profession. I didn't know that, But okay,
you just say, you just say flight deck and stuff
like guys, or or to say, like, hey, let's get
some men in here to work on this man power.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
We can't do that anymore. His story, We can't do that.
Are we just changing every word they were supposed to it?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Like if they need to have people come work on
the plane, we need human power to do it, is
what we're supposed to say.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I just want you, guys to be aware. We just
want respect. We don't need you to change all these words.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, like the plane's broken, let's get some human power
in here right now to fix it.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Just be nice.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
But again, like, okay, I'm fine with a lot of
the awareness of all this stuff. I just there's a
lot of people out there that did I don't think
ever thought of it that way. Like, I don't think
they meant it that way.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
What's next? The horses are going to get mad about horsepower.
Please stop using horsepower.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
By the way, some of the best pilots I know
are women, so and I've also heard of that, but
I know that there's stigma, and I know a lot
of female pilots, and believe it or not, there are
people dumb enough to this day that, like, I know
a female an airline pilot, and people will walk up
and look into cockpit and be like, really they let
you fly this thing to a woman. In twenty twenty four,
your friend who did my panel talked about that, and

(09:16):
it's like, first of all, she's probably a better pilot
than the guy sitting next to her. A second of all, like, yeah,
it's been like that for however long. And third of all,
is that really something you want to say to the
person who is going to.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Fly your place? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Like, it doesn't really matter what you think, because you're
either getting off or we're going to Wichitas. So yeah,
But anyway, I just didn't realize I was supposed to
be offended by this, or that we were, that we
all were. So no, and Jason is as as a
member of the LGBT community, he's actually standing up and saying, no,
it's a cockpit and that's what it will always be.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
I will never use another word.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, every time we go someplace, can I sit in
the cockpit, like every time in.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Your cockpit, I'm always saying he's always saying that.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
But he's referencing eighteenth century warships and cockfighting. That's what
is sixteenth century England is what you're referencing, ye.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Big history guy over here.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
So I guess pornhub is the one banning their website
from all these states because of age verification laws, leaving
more than eighty million Americans blocked from the X rated site.
But Kentucky lost access on June tenth, Indiana, Idaho, and
Kansas will be blocked on June twenty eighth in Nebraska
on July seventeenth. Texas, North Carolina, Montana, Mississippi, Virginia, Arkansas,
and Utah have already lost access. Pornhub has stated that

(10:34):
safety and compliance are at the forefront of their mission,
and the company also believes age verification puts users privacy
at risk. So I guess they're the ones saying that
they don't want their website in those places because of that.
And guys, I had plans this weekend and I don't
know what you guys got going on. But you know
if I can hang out with you, because I'm going
to have to cancel my trip to New Jersey where

(10:55):
I was headed. But the nothing but as tournament it
was scheduled to go on at the West Side High
School in Newark today actually has been canceled. The basketball
tournament set to feature scancey clad scantily clad women at a
New Jersey high school has been scrapped by officials after
backlash to an inappropriate promo video. The school board communications

(11:16):
director said no school, district or district official was aware
of the video until it was posted. This was supposed
to be a community basketball event sponsored by a councilman.
No school or district official approved the activity depicted in
the video. It's a bunch of women in thongs playing basketball,
I guess. But it said nothing nothing, nothing, and you
t t I am nothing but as azz, nothing but

(11:40):
as tournament. I was really excited, but I'm not going
to be able to go. It's not happening now. So
sure we can find them a home. Yeah you think so?
Anyone willing to host it? Nothing but as a tournament?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
We didn't call our podcasts that I mean, we really
we really we were not standing business, or that we
have a lot of days to celebrate today, guys, National
wagu Day, wag you, National Smoothie Day, National Arizona Day.
