<v Speaker 1>Ticket Thursday, happening at one oh one one wjrr's Instagram.

6
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Multiple JARR shows to choose from, like the Deftones with

7
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Sugar Poppy Kim Dracula Again if you're not following us

8
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram at one oh one one w JARR.

9
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Hasbro has announced a new version of Monopoly called Monopoly

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>App Banking, which makes the game a little more digital

11
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in nature. The board game elements are mostly the same,

12
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 1>they've made a few well kid friendly updates. Park Place

13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 1>and Boardwalk have been switched to a rocket launch pad

14
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and the Moon. Other new properties include a chocolate factory,

15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a VR roller coaster, and a dinosaur park. The main difference, however,

16
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 1>is that they're there's no banker and no physical money. Instead,

17
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a mobile app that processes all the transactions.

18
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

19
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Hasbro says the app is great for speeding up the game,

20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>making it more accessible to younger players and making it

21
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>harder to cheat. Obviously, Folks like Taco don't agree. No,

22
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>because you Monopoly is old school. You keep it old school.

23
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't need to freshen it up with all that

24
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 2>crap because kids aren't gonna play it anyway. They're gonna

25
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>play the cop killer games or whatever. All these games

26
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>are the Blitzay's Car, Thief, GTA Grand Theft. Yeah, they're

27
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna do ms discussed stuff like that.

28
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>The most common complaint is the new version can't be

29
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>used to teach kids about math and how to handle money.

30
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 1>And some parents are pretending like their kids don't have

31
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>access to a device with apps.

32
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and they don't have jail because all the kids

33
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>are whims.

34
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>No, go to jail, good directly to jail. I don't

35
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 1>think this will become becoming to you as a huge

36
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of news, but Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype.

37
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Skype will no longer be around as of May. The

38
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>writing had been on the wall for a while. Every

39
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>time you think though the Skype is going away, Microsoft

40
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>would launched some big update. However, this time that's not happening.

41
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>They will retire the video app in May. The solution,

42
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, is just use Microsoft Teams instead if you're

43
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 1>still holding on to Skype teams. Is pretty easy to navigate.

44
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>It's humorous at times, but pretty easy to actually work it.

45
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh we got we have a team's thing today, don't we?

46
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh we do?

47
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, somebody said, totally agree with you. Bob Bam Monopoly.

48
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Bam Margera has reportedly been removed from Tony Hawk's pro

49
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Skater remaster. The remaster version of pro Skate three and

50
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>four coming out this summer. There appears to be a

51
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>one notable emission troubled Jackass Star and Skater Bam Margera.

52
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>The reboot will have boosted graphics, multiplayer capabilities, new and

53
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 1>classic skaters, and new parks. However, Bam not part of this.

54
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>That's sad.

55
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Not quite sure why that might be.

56
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 2>It's just such a he's disgraced himself. That sucks.

57
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>As social media has grown throughout the year, so have

58
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the concerns about becoming literally addicted to this. We know

59
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>this is a thing, it's a problem. With that in mind,

60
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>there's a new app that's arrived to help combat the

61
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>problems that come with too much screen time. It's called

62
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 1>touch Grass. So you're gonna have to go on an

63
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>app to get off apps. It's called touch Grass. This

64
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>hits the Apple Store in March fourteenth. It's coming to

65
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Android stores in a later version. The concept is pretty simple.

66
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 1>Once a user social user social media is blocked by

67
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the app until they physically go outside and take a

68
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 1>photograph of themselves touching grass.

69
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you're doing more screen time. It's I'm not

70
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 2>trying to poop all this new technology. Seriously, we already

71
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 2>have stuff like that. It's called touch ass On goat

72
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>on OnlyFans.

73
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 1>You're just encouraging people to go outside a little talksho.

74
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 2>It be great, but you're encouraging them to hit the app,

75
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.319
<v Speaker 2>which is screen time, go outside, take a picture which

76
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 2>is screen time, and then submit.

77
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 1>It that Hey, I touched grass. How about smoke grass.

78
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Artificial intelligence is coming to the world's largest call center, Teleperformance,

79
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>which is based in India. And I guarantee every single

80
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>one of us has had an interaction or two with

81
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>his Teleperformance call center. They've just invested thirteen million dollars

82
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>to add send us AI to their service. With that technology,

83
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 1>the agent's Indian accents can be modified in real time,

84
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>may them easier to understand for US, not Indians. That's

85
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a good technology.

86
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 2>Second, John Board, they I talk out no because it

87
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>evolves telemarketers.

88
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Scientists are trying to bring back mammoths. They have created

89
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the wooly mouse. Scientific push to bring wooly mammoths back

90
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>from extinction has resulted in a really hairy mouse thanks

91
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 1>to the Colossal Biosciences, who have genetically engineered mice to

92
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>exhibit traits reminiscent of the extinct wooly mammoth. They've been

93
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>editing seven jenes and mouse embryos. They produced mice with long,

94
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 1>thick wooly hair.

95
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Do they have little tusks? I have to get back

96
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 2>to you on that. Do we need wooly mammoths to

97
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 2>come back? I didn't know there was, Yes, super Rats,

98
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>somebodice in Taco quote unquote, get off my lawn, Bob.

99
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, you want to sit.

100
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>Down and play that digital Monopoly game, then call me

101
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>that until then.

102
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 1>There is a company in the UK called Power Role.

103
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 1>They've been around since twenty twelve. They have been working

104
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>on perfecting solar film that can generate electricity rather than

105
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>having to go with these big panels and stuff mounted

106
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 1>on roofs and think window tint. That's the best way.

107
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>They've made a breakthrough in this that is significantly going

108
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to cut costs in this emerging technology. Keep an eye

109
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>on this. Can you imagine you're getting a new home

110
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>built and rather than dumping all the money into having

111
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>solar panels affixed to the roof, maybe you could just

112
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>have this as your window treatment to generate some of

113
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>your electricity. It could happen sooner than you might think.

114
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. And finally, the south By Southwest Conference kicks

115
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>off Friday in Austin, which originally started as kind of

116
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a music industry thing but has celebrated much more as

117
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>this thing has gone on for years, including tech, film

118
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and television. So there you go. That's some of your

119
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.399
<v Speaker 1>check it out items for this week. Is there anything

120
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 1>else you would like to crap all over? Taco?

124
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you need customer service, Taco.
