This is your wake 7 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.359 up call for Wednesday, March twelfth. I'm Amy King. We're 8 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.840 live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Got my oatmeal, almost 9 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.520 missed the start of the show. I was a little 10 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:44.679 worried there, Well let's go. 11 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.119 Where's those I thought it was my big break? 12 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.240 Take it away, will guys. You know what, last night 13 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.920 was such a beautiful evening. We got some rain yesterday 14 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.200 and then I was sitting out on my balcony last 15 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.119 night and just going, this is gore you get after 16 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.960 the rain comes in, clears out the air and it 17 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.719 was clear skies with just some light fluffy clouds. Don't 18 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.799 let appearances be deceiving. We got a big one on 19 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.799 the way. Checking out my Eagles. Yeah, they're doing good. 20 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.040 Everybody got a good feeding last night. 21 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:18.239 Even a little Rocky. 22 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.480 Okay, Rocky's doing good. So we've got we've got I've 23 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.879 named all three of them now, and they haven't started 24 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.439 the naming process yet. They'll take applications eventually as they 25 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.120 get older, because again, we're gonna make sure all they're 26 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.640 gonna survive. But they'll take applications later and we'll tell 27 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.480 you about that, of course. But I've temporarily named them. 28 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.599 So I've got Rocky, the one who was the most 29 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.560 recent to hatch because he's little and he's gonna have 30 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.359 to fight, right, Okay. So then there's another one that 31 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.120 kind of keeps getting away from them from moms. She 32 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.680 kind of ventures out, so we're calling her Dora the Explore. 33 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.480 And then there's the third one, who I think is 34 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.079 probably the first born. He's a vicious little guy. It's 35 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.799 what they do, this order thing, right, and he just 36 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.280 kind of attacks the other two when he wants food. Wow, 37 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.599 so I'm calling him Brutus. 38 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:08.759 Okay. 39 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.000 Anyway, we got our eyes on the nest. They're doing good, 40 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.439 and they got a snowstorm coming, so mom and dad 41 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.639 have their work cut out for them to keep those 42 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.919 babies nice and dry. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. 43 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.159 LA County public Works crews have prepared debris basins, stabilized slopes, 44 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.039 and reinforced drainage systems to reduce flood risk. As a 45 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.960 second storm moves into southern California, officials say debris and 46 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.120 mudflows could block streets and threaten homes, and they eaton palisades, 47 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.080 Bridge Hurst, Kenneth Hughes, Sunset, Lydia, and Franklin Burn areas. 48 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:45.879 Man We've had a lot of fires in the last 49 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.960 few years. La County has its first case of measles. 50 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.719 Health officials say a person with measles arrived at Lax 51 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.240 on a China airline's flight on March fifth. People may 52 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.520 have also been exposed in North Hollywood and Elmonte. The 53 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.319 Houses passed a bill to keep funding the government through September. 54 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.680 All but one Republican supported the measure, all but one 55 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.240 Democrat opposed it. We're gonna find out what happens next 56 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.199 with ABC Stephen Portnoy. That's coming up in about two minutes. 57 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.719 Rich Demiro is going to tell us how to spot 58 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.280 a spam call in case you're not quite sure. And 59 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.599 also a new interactive restaurant in downtown La I'm interested 60 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.199 to see what an interactive restaurant is and whether it's 61 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.319 any good. Also, Joel Larsgard coming up before the top 62 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.560 of the hour. He wasn't able to join us yesterday 63 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.919 because he was at the iHeart Podcast Awards in Texas, 64 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.319 but he's joining us today. People are getting worried about 65 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.680 our recession, so we're gonna take a look at your 66 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.639 money with that one. Also, Amy's on it. I am 67 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.759 streaming a chilling docuseries. Things are not always as they appear, 68 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.080 and when you pull back the curtains, something that looks 69 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:53.360 perfect on the surface looks a lot different, possibly even demonic. 70 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.199 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 71 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.759 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Late winter storms 72 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.240 expected to bring heavy rain to much of southern California 73 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.080 through at least Friday. The National Weather Service has issued 74 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.080 a floodwatch for twenty four hours starting at six this evening. 75 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:11.199 Meteorologist Robbie Monroe says the rain could cause mudslides and 76 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.520 debris flows, especially in the burn areas. 77 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.920 Minor impacts are likely from the rain, and then more 78 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.920 significant impacts are possible focused in that floodwatch area. With 79 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.680 the front especially, we could see strong thunderstorms with damaging 80 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.240 win and a week brief tornado. 81 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.519 Oh wouldn't that be fun a tornado? He does say 82 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.680 the chance of a tornado is less than five percent. 83 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.079 A plan to fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars 84 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.720 to add security for a utility leader in La has 85 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:36.399 been pushed back. 86 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.959 The OLDWP board of directors had planned to vote on 87 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.319 a seven hundred thousand dollars private security contract for CEO 88 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.639 Janie Kinoniez. Board president Richard Katz says he got a 89 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.000 call from La Mayor Bass with instructions to cut the price. 90 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.920 We're going to work on that between now in the 91 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.600 next meeting and see if we'll get either a couple 92 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.399 more quotes on it or pare down the quote that 93 00:04:58.439 --> 00:04:58.720 we have. 94 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.879 The board has decided to re visit the issue in 95 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.959 two weeks. Kona says she's gotten lots of threats since 96 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.800 the wildfires in downtown La. Michael Monks KFI News. 97 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.639 The Dodgers are getting ready to play the Chicago Cubs 98 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.199 on opening day in the twenty twenty five MLB Tokyo Series. 99 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.079 It starts Tuesday at the Iconic Tokyo Dome. There are 100 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.199 three Japanese players on the Dodgers roster. Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto 101 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.800 can be seen in an Instagram video teaching some of 102 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.600 his teammates a few words in Japanese. 103 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:32.639 Ya. 104 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:45.360 That's kunichiwaknichi wa oishi ladishaishi oshi oichi oichi oishi Kwaii cute. 105 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.079 I'm for sure gonna butcher that one. 106 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.639 Kawai Kai kawai, kawai I can be kawai. 107 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.160 Tickets for the series in Japan are selling for over 108 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.079 one thousand dollars. I'm glad they're having some fun. Let's 109 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.560 say good morning now to ABC's Stephen portnoys Hos. Stephen, 110 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.040 we talked yesterday. The House, as expected, passed a bill 111 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.480 to fund the government. How did it shake out yesterday? 112 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.560 Well, it passed. It passed two seventeen to two thirteen. 113 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.439 And one of the big questions hanging over yesterday's vote 114 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.560 was whether Speaker Mike Johnson would be able to keep 115 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.839 all of his Republican colleagues in line to pass a 116 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.600 continuing resolution. And he was able to do it with 117 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.839 only one exception, and that was Thomas Massey of Kentucky, 118 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:27.399 who said he was going to vote no and did 119 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:32.639 vote no. But Johnson's bill gained the support of one Democrat, 120 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.439 Jared Golden of Maine, crossed the aisle and voted for 121 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.360 the continuing resolution. So now the House has left town, 122 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.319 and as we describe it here in Washington, the House 123 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.439 has jammed the Senate ahead of a Friday night deadline. 124 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.120 The ball is now in the Senate's court. And the 125 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.480 question there is will Democrats get on board behind this 126 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.040 the way Jared Golden of Maine did yesterday in the House, 127 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.319 or will they stand in lockstep filibuster this bill and 128 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.360 see to a shutdown on Friday night. The choice is 129 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:00.600 for Democrats now. 130 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.279 To make okay. So and then let's review again. Because 131 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.040 it's different. It's a different threshold in the Senate than 132 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.279 in the House. The House just needed a simple majority 133 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:11.959 to move it over to the Senate. The Senate needs 134 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:12.399 more than that. 135 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.959 The Senate, under its rules, requires sixty votes to end 136 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.560 debate and bring a measure to a formal vote. Under 137 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.519 this process and procedure, that will be used. And the 138 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.800 question is are there sixty votes? The Republicans have fifty 139 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.480 three in the Senate, and one of them, Rand Paul 140 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.160 of Kentucky, same state as Thomas Massey, has announced he's 141 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.000 going to vote no on a principal basis he doesn't 142 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.639 like CRS. He thinks they don't cut enough, and so 143 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.959 he'll be in no. Then you need eight Democrats to 144 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.759 cross the aisle and vote for the bill. So the 145 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.800 calculus is this. All across the country there are liberal 146 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.240 activists who are looking at Washington and saying, Democrats, we've 147 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.879 elected you to make a stand. Your job is to 148 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.360 make a stand. This is a part as in measure. 149 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.920 If you get on board behind it, you are undermining 150 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.759 the liberal movement and your undermining federal workers who are 151 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.920 calling on you to stand up. 152 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.439 Here for their rights. 153 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.519 Overnight we learned that the Education Department is essentially being gutted, 154 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.399 with fifty percent of the people who work at that 155 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.000 agency apparently being set to be laid off. And so 156 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.279 the question is will send it. Democrats object to the 157 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.639 fact there's nothing in this bill that aims to tie 158 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.160 Dog's hands to prevent future firings. Plus, they note that 159 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.559 some money has been taken away from some domestic agencies 160 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.399 to plus up spending at the Pentagon, And they point 161 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.799 out that it's a full year CR that is a 162 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.159 full fiscal year CR under last year's levels. Things only 163 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.240 get more expensive over time, and this money isn't going up, 164 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.799 it's going it's staying flat. And they see that as 165 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:53.600 a cut the way Washington views spending. So they have 166 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.120 their reasons for voting against it. The question is will 167 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.799 all of them vote against it or will a moderate 168 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:03.840 Democratic block go on with the Republicans? Say, fellas ladies, 169 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.480 it's not worth dragging the entire country into a government 170 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.759 shutdown if we don't have the votes to do what 171 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.320 we want to do. 172 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.000 Anyway, Okay, and is there I know you got to 173 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.440 run any indication, any rumblings of what it might go 174 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:17.879 or do. We just don't know yet. 175 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:18.879 We don't know yet. 176 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.879 And that's why I am couching it by saying we'll 177 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:22.399 have to say no. 178 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.120 Otherwise I'd be much more direct. 179 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.200 Yeah, we have to see. Chuck Schumer will have remarks 180 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.360 at about midday today as the Senate comes into session, 181 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.159 and maybe he'll give us an indication as to which 182 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:33.840 way things are going. 183 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.559 All right, we'll be watching. Stephen Portenoy, thanks so much 184 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.120 for the information. Appreciate it, you bet. All right, let's 185 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:40.600 get back to some of the stories coming out of 186 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.679 the KFI twenty four Hour Newsroom. Ukraine has agreed to 187 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.600 a US plan for a thirty day ceasefire with Russia. 188 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.360 ABC's James Longman says the plan now goes to Moscow 189 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:51.039 for approval. 190 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.200 The tools in Saudi Arabia cool for immediate negotiations to 191 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.399 end this war.

Students are 220 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.279 weighing in on the fact that Khalil was a key 221 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.919 leader of the pro Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia. 222 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.279 Okay if I Scott Pringle says students have been protesting 223 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.440 since Khalil's arrest on Saturday. His lawyers and civil rights 224 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.799 advocates say his detention is an assault on free speech 225 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:54.240 and an attempt to suppress pro Palestinian views.

Mud and debrief flows possible in the 272 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:24.159 wildfire burn areas. Just one in five people think LA 273 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.639 may Or Bass did a good job responding to the 274 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.799 LA wildfires. A new survey out of UC Berkeley says 275 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.639 more than forty percent thinks she did a poor or 276 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.559 very poor job handling the fires. In Pacific Palisades and 277 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:41.840 other areas. Keyless cars are being targeted in southern California. 278 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.799 Burbank Police say thieves can use a device that remotely 279 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:49.720 scans for a keyfob signal, then it creates a cloned 280 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.879 key and they can start and steal the car from there. 281 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.519 Police say people should park in a garage possible, and 282 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.720 consider installing motion sensing lights or video cameras where they park. 283 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.039 Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich 284 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:08.360 on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demurro. Rich. Okay, 285 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:10.600 both Will and I got to know what is an 286 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.519 interactive restaurant? And tell us about the one you just 287 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:14.039 went and saw. 288 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.600 Yeah, I stayed out way too late last night going 289 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:22.279 to downtown in LA for this this place called the Gallery. 290 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.960 So this is a new restaurant that's kind of like 291 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:26.000 think about like. 292 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.519 A modern theme restaurant. 293 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.720 So it's a bunch of theme park designers that decided, 294 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.759 you know what, let's do something kind of fun and different. 295 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.600 And so you go in. 296 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.080 Not only is the bar really cool and it's got 297 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.480 all these little interactive kind of things going on in 298 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:42.120 the background, but then you go into this dining room. 299 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.720 And in the dining room, they've got all these projectors 300 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.039 on the ceiling that are sort of hidden, but they 301 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:50.000 project things onto your table. And then of course the 302 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.080 walls all come to life as well. So while you're eating, 303 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.440 this was like appealing to the five senses. And so 304 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.519 they had like fire, I guess, not the senses, I 305 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.679 guess the world the earth. It was like dirt and 306 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.799 fire and water, and so the whole room comes alive 307 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.879 with this sort of different theme depending on what you're eating. 308 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.919 Okay, and what were you eating? 309 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.440 All kinds of stuff. I couldn't you know. It's it 310 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:16.039 was all like. 311 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.039 Five course meals, so it was a lot of like 312 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.600 the first one was like the one it was like 313 00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.720 a solid served on a bed of dirt and it 314 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.960 was I mean, it looked like dirt. It was not dirt. 315 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.639 But the whole point of this place is that it's 316 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.600 sort of interactive and it's a sensory experience. The dinner 317 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:35.159 theme is elementa. But here's the deal. I predict that 318 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.960 this place will be rented out by a lot of 319 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.679 companies because because of the design of the room, it's 320 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.960 very tech forward, Like the whole thing can kind of 321 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.039 be it can take on different looks. So I imagine, 322 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.440 like if you're premiering a movie or a new album, 323 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.519 you can transform this room to kind of fit what 324 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:55.600 you're trying to do. 325 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.159 And I think that's the true magic of it. 326 00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.759 Well cool, it was the food good. 327 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.679 The food was good. 328 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:04.920 Yeah, yes, I didn't try the duck, but everything else 329 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:06.519 I did try and it was good. 330 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.799 Okay, let's move on to scams, because man, they're coming 331 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.799 up everywhere. I just got several messages on my phone 332 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:15.359 and I was like, I got to ask rich about this. 333 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:20.160 Where I got texts and the text appears to be 334 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.680 from Microsoft. It says Microsoft someone else might have accessed, 335 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:29.119 and then it shows like the asterisks and a bunch 336 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.920 of those and then the last two letters or numbers 337 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.519 of my email address, and it says you can recover 338 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.920 at I'm like, no, no, yeah. 339 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.720 I've been getting yep, yeah, a lot of people getting 340 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.200 that one. Be careful, a lot of people getting that one. 341 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.079 For sure, that one's trying to steal your Microsoft log in. 342 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.640 But there's just so many these things, just NonStop. 343 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.240 All day, every day. 344 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.680 And what I talk about on my radio show is 345 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.920 that the scam artists do something that's very similar to 346 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.079 what we actually get from. 347 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:00.640 From a company. 348 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:05.559 So they take that actual Microsoft confirmation text or fraud 349 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.240 alert text and they kind of re engineer it right 350 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.000 to be scammy. So it looks the same, it reads 351 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.160 the same, but the link that you're getting is not 352 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.559 the right one. So just be very careful look at 353 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.160 who these things are coming from, and if you don't 354 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.240 expect them, you know, be a little bit spidy sense, 355 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.480 Like okay, I didn't really try logging in what's happening here? 356 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.119 Yeah, okay? And then over on the phone side, you know, 357 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.640 like when I get a phone call, sometimes it says 358 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.039 spam risk. When I don't recognize the number, I'm not 359 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.519 sure if I should pick up or not. But you 360 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.680 have a way to detect spam calls. 361 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.079 Yeah, that one, you know you can safely not pick up. 362 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.759 But as any parent knows, if you've got kids, you can't. 363 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:43.759 Even if it's a number you don't recognize, you kind 364 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.599 of have to pick it up just because you know 365 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.599 who knows. And that happened to me once my kid 366 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:50.240 broke his arm, and it's like, I should I pick 367 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:51.000 up this phone call? 368 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.519 Should I not? Thankfully I did. 369 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.839 But I tried this new thing where basically I got 370 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.480 a call I didn't know if it was a scam 371 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.319 artist or not. Is from the Bank of America credit 372 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.279 card Verification department, sounds very official, And I said, I 373 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.359 think this might be a scam. So I pressed the 374 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.680 little recording icon on the iPhone and I said, this 375 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.920 call will be recorded, and all of a sudden, as 376 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.480 soon as it announced that to the call boom, the 377 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.240 person hung up. So I was like, oh, this must 378 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.160 be a scam. So I posted this to my Instagram. 379 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.359 Many people have tried it since, and I'm getting lots 380 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:24.079 of reports that it almost works like a charm every 381 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.160 single time, And I think it might even work for like, 382 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:27.680 if you just want to get off the phone with 383 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.640 like a telemarketer, just press that. Once they hear that, 384 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.960 ok they don't want to be on the. 385 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.960 Recording, Okay, good, good to know. And then I'm having 386 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.160 issues with my DVD. But this is a different thing. 387 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:40.480 There's something called disc rot. 388 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:44.440 Yeah, I just basically wanted to say that because I've 389 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:45.720 never heard of disc rop, but. 390 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:48.559 I understand. 391 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.680 You know, if you've got old tapes around the house, 392 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.160 like those are definitely at risk of like going bad, 393 00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.480 so definitely get those digitized. But DVDs are supposed to 394 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.359 last like one hundred years. But apparently there are some 395 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.279 manufacturing issues with Warner Brothers Home entertainment discs like these 396 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.440 are you know, movies from two thousand and six to 397 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.519 two thousand and eight, so they're failing prematurely, which means 398 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.599 people are putting them in their drives and they're not loading, 399 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.200 they're freezing while they play, or they just don't play 400 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.920 at all, and so Warner Brothers apparently is aware of this. 401 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.640
