Box to news headlines today. Starting September thirty at the
US Treasury will stop sending paper checks, switching all federal
payments to electric methods. Offici'll say it is meant to
speed up the refund and process and protect taxpayers.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, thanks for the extra twenty five years of paper
checks that you gave us, because I thought I was
the last one back when we started going electronic and
I was the final holdout at our job.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And uh yeah, I do feel bad for seniors though,
like I took on this what isn't checks, But like
I took my grammar or doctor's appointment yesterday and she
had to fill out like the questionnaire of like allergies
that you have and stuff, and it was all done
on a tablet, which is fine for people like our age.
She would have had no idea how to even use
that if I wasn't there, And like she just wants
(00:46):
to write on a piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
You know that's true. Have you ever seen old people
in McDonald's now?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So, I can't tell you how many times I help
them at the at the screen.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
There's no counter, there's no counterhelp, it's you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm always in drive to ride never written. Really, there's
no counterhelp. You have to go up to the screen
in order that way.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Which is a shame because I do love the Kiosk.
I gotta line that I've got it figured out.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Yeah, I do the Kiosk too.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
But if you don't have it figured out and you're
of a certain age, you are lost.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I went into a McDonald's in I don't know where
I was with Mark Pillow, Yeah, a Superman client.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I was like, I got this, Mark, what would you
like small fry?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Well, you're a full service agent.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Full service agent.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
A new survey shows the average Americans have dropped about
four streaming subscriptions in the last three years. Rising prices
for Disney Plus, Hulu and Apple TV are a big factor.
More than half a mint they were paying for services
they rarely used. I will tell you this, I got
the kind of the shock of my life last night.
My parents got this new Samsung TV color. The casino
sent it to them.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Oh and it's it's not big. It's like probably like
maybe the size of this screen here.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay, but I said, I said, let me set it
up in the kitchen for you to replace the small
Visio one that's been there for you.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Thank you for your patronage.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I don't know what it was. I don't know, but
it was.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So I set it up and literally all they have
there and I gave it to him is Bunny Years
because it's it's a part of the kitchen that there's
no cable doesn't run there, like who cares?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
And and I hooked it all up.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I went through Samsung, I did all the that I
was supposed to do, and I screwed the thing in
did this scan. I'm sitting here going this looks great.
It had like about one hundred and thirty six channels
from just Bunny Years.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Because of all the point channels.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah, you know, like wh why do you need to
be the cable?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
And then the TV is hooked up to Wi Fi
because you immediately wants the Wi Fi. So like I'm like, oh, look,
here's Fox Local, yea, here's you know, here's to Be,

need to all these streaming services for? I mean, if
you just want some TV on and you're not like
ultra committed to like you got everything.

a month. The price keeps going up, and I just
