Morning Drive with Christy Live on demandsix on eighties plus at one O three
point seven. My name is Christy. Producer Karina is here And have you
shopped at Whole Foods recently? Nowit's been a long time, Okay,
let me tell you. I wentto Whole Foods a couple days ago.
And I don't know if you've signedup for or if you've heard of Amazon

(00:24):
one. Basically I checked out aWhole Foods, didn't use my ATM card,
didn't use my phone to pay,didn't use cash or check. I
paid with my palm. Wait aminute, how do you pay with your
palm? You sign up for Amazonone. I don't know what Jeff Bezos
has going on, but literally Ihad signed up and I went up to

(00:47):
the checkout and instead of paying anymoney, I literally held my palm over
the machine where you usually scan yourcredit card. There's a little kiosk yeah,
and it said doob my receipt andI checked out. Really, I
am not kidding, And it wascrazy. Christy doesn't have something to do
with your fingerprints or something. Youregister your palm and you connect it to

(01:10):
a credit card and you literally holdyour hand over it. Scans your hand.
I didn't even have to touch themachine. I just held my hand
over it. It scanned my palm. Yeah, it paid for my food
and I was out of whole foods. And I was thinking this would blow
anyone in the eighties away. Ifa time traveler came from the eighties crazy

(01:34):
and you and you just say,oh no, you don't have to pay
with cash, you just like scanyour palm, they'd be like, what
in the jetsments is going on?And it got me thinking, like,
there's a lot of stuff today thatif someone in the eighties saw or heard,
they would be like, what areyou talking about? Like if someone
from the eighties came back to twentytwenty four and was wondering, how do

(01:57):
I get someplace? Oh? Justwaise it? Well, now you're talking
about what's a ways? It way? What's a lift? Right? What
all a lift? Call a lift? Call an over? What is that?
Somebody gonna pick me up? Asmeaning like carry me? They wouldn't
even know what you were talking about. We were thinking it would be fun

(02:19):
if a time traveler came back fromthe eighties, what phrase would they hear
and be totally blown away? Withone eight six y six nine hundred one
o three seven. You can tapthe microphone if you're listening on our iHeartRadio
app. We always say leave atalk back, but if you're on our

(02:40):
app, it's free download it.There's a little red microphone and literally you
hold it down and it's like anold school walkie talkie or an answering machine,
and you can record a message.Christy, what's an app? Rightn't?

do you talking about? An apple? Yeah? Call us and let us

(03:06):

kinda sort of if somebody from theeighties came back today, what phrase would

(03:30):
totally confuse them? Got a talkback from our app? You can always
jump in and join the fun byhitting that red microphone. Good morning,
Christy and Karina. I think ifyou ask someone from the eighties, if
they were a droid or an iPhone. They would definitely look at you crazy,
have a great day? That isso true. They'd be like,
what, I'm not a droid,I'm not in Star Wars. What are

(03:52):
you talking about? Do you haveone you want to add to the list?
One eight six six nine hundred oneto three seven? Got another talk
back here? Hey, Christy,it's a mod. If I came back
from the eighties and heard someone askhow many followers do you have? That
would be strange. I'd be checkingto see if anyone was following me,
right, You wouldn't ask someone fromthe eighties, Hey, how many followers

(04:13):
do you have? H what?Nobody's behind me? What are you talking
about? Leave me alone? Whatphrase today would totally blow someone away in
the eighties? Let me know yourthoughts. Got some cranberries on the way
for your Thursday morning drive? Nexton Eighties Plus Christie Live, Chris,
what's a phrase someone from the eightieswould totally be blown away by today?

(04:35):
Over email? That's a good one. Someone from the eighties would be like,
huh, you want me to goto the post office and mail something?
Yeah, check stamp. That's agreat one. Thanks for the call.

on eighties plus at one or threepoint seven. My name is Christy talking

(04:57):
about is someone from the eighties cametoday? What phrase or thing would blow
them away? Good morning, Christieand Creanta. This is Journey from Independence
Kentucky. I think it would bea strange if a person from the eighties
came to twenty twenty four and foundout that you didn't have to use a
key to unlock your car or tostart your car. I think that would

(05:18):
blow them away. Have a greatday, lady, Love you both.
Bye, Thank you, Jody.That's so true. Like I said,
I went to Whole Foods and paidwith my groceries with my palm. People
would be like, huh, whathey, it's twenty twenty four and I
was still like, what the heck? Christie Lie? What do you think
someone from the eighties would totally beblown away hearing or seeing today? Yo?

(05:41):
What's some ladies? Guess food youtouched? Mikey from the eighties,
YO, just been on me thatcash you owe me. They'd be like,
oh, that's the new name forWestern Union now peace, Christie Lie
right here on eighties Plus at onethree point seven. Shout out to our
Facebook friend Tivity who said I'll getan uber or a Lyft. That is

(06:02):
definitely something someone from the eighties wouldbe blown away if they came back to
twenty twenty four. Christophrespanoza said Netflix, and Chill Scott Moore said, Uh,
can't come over now, my caris only ten percent charged. What
is that? Christie Live Eyes Plusat one of three point seven, it's
eight thirty six. My name's Christy. Producer Karina is here and thank you

(06:26):
for letting us come along for yourmorning drive. So. I don't know
if you've been shopping in Whole Foodsrecently, but they have this new payment
system called Amazon One, and literallyI went shopping a couple days ago and
paid for my groceries with the palmof my hand, no money. I
literally held my palm out and itrang up my groceries. The craziest thing.

(06:49):
But that's how we started talking aboutif someone from the eighties came to
twenty twenty four, what would theysee or hear that would totally confuse them?
Good Morning, La Stein up inMinneapolis. I think somebody from the
eighties would be shocked at how frequentthe F word is used so casually in
everyday conversation and alluded to in allthe advertising they see on TV and everywhere.

(07:16):
Thanks, have a great day,you too. That is kind of
crazy. Another thing that would trippeople out is like, oh, I'm
going to the dispensary or oh I'vegot a place an order on ease.
You know, she imagined they wouldbe like, what is that? Got
another talk back here from our app? Hey, Christy and Karina is tim

(07:38):
from the rich. I personally thinkif you showed someone from the eighties and
Xbox one and showed just a videogame or a movie on it, they
would probably have a heart attack anddie. But that's my contribution to this
conversation this morning. Have a goodone. Video games definitely come a long
way from Pong, that is forsure. If you see what today,

(07:59):
you'd be like, what in theheck? One more? And remember you
can always tap the red microphone onour iHeartRadio app and join the fun.
Hey, this is about from thefive things people say now that they did
it in the eighties are like,will you friend me on Facebook? Or
let's go shopping on Amazon? Havea good day. Take care guys.
Thanks one hundred percent. Thank youso much, Bob, appreciate that talk

(08:22):

with an apple? I take anorange? Oh man. The craziness continues.
