- 1:20SPEAKER_03: But we did do shout-outs to the normals earlier.
- 1:22SPEAKER_03: I have I have a question.
- 1:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, go ahead.
- 1:24SPEAKER_03: When you hear the title of the song I want you back, what artist comes to mind immediately?
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: I want you back.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're right.
- 1:34SPEAKER_03: If you're if you're of an era, this is the song, right?
- 1:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:39SPEAKER_03: Can we just take this in for a second?
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: Tell me what to do now.
- 1:49SPEAKER_03: How have they not booked the spear?
- 1:51SPEAKER_03: Timberlake's not doing a lot right now.
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: They had a Vegas residency.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: I just don't think it was spear.
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: Wait, it's a speaker.
- 2:00SPEAKER_03: This is insane.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: Oh, I thought it was Backstreet Boys.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: Okay, you're you're right.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: Sorry, got my boy bands mixed up.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: Wow, mom.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: Uh, right?
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: To be perfectly honest with you, boy bands were not my thing in high school.
- 2:11SPEAKER_03: No.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: I I was more listening to a lot more grunge and guitar.
- 2:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 2:14SPEAKER_03: So you're not alone.
- 2:16SPEAKER_03: Most people would think that, you know, it would actually be in sync's I Want You Back.
- 2:20SPEAKER_03: Or in Ali's Mine, Backstreet Boys.
- 2:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: Same, same but different.
- 2:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, uh, nope.
- 2:25SPEAKER_03: Uh somebody recorded their kid singing the other I Want You Back thanks to the Michael Jackson movie.
- 2:30SPEAKER_03: It has hit millions of views here.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: Oh, baby, give me one more chance.
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: More too, please let me back in the heart.
- 2:41SPEAKER_02: That's pretty good.
- 2:42SPEAKER_02: I was gonna let you go.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: But now since I see you, it is off.
- 2:50SPEAKER_03: It's all because of the movie, the Michael movie.
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: He saw it.
- 2:55SPEAKER_03: And he can do it!
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: I'm also gonna say, if you ever get a lot of yes.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: If you get a chance to ever see MJ the musical, I saw it twice.
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: I saw, and both times I saw New York City.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: It is amazing, and they have Michael as a kid.
- 3:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: And then they have him as a teenager, and then so on and so forth.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: I'm telling you, it was the best musical I've ever seen.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: And if even if you're not a musical person, give it a chance.
- 3:24SPEAKER_03: The kid, now that I hear little Michael and this, he's really close.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: He could be in the musical.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:36SPEAKER_01: Take a second.
- 3:50SPEAKER_03: Listening to Scott and Allie.
- 3:52SPEAKER_03: Scott and Allie's big three.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: I want to say, early this morning, we were shouting out our regulars, you know, our Ilianas, our Lauren's, our 1336, yadda yada, yaddy.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: Well, we also have John 317.
- 4:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: And he sent a DM to us and said, good everyone, happy Friday.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: Nothing like a late start.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: Funny enough, John 317.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: We actually shouted you out like at the very top of the show.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: But we'll do it again.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so hey, good morning.
- 4:21SPEAKER_00: Hey.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: Harvard is limiting A grades.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: This is such an interesting take.
- 4:28SPEAKER_03: I wouldn't have expected to get an A at Harvard.
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: So there's they're trying to track, or not track, they're trying to crack down on grade inflation, so they say.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: The number of undergrad A grades are going to be limited to 20% of students in each course.
- 4:45SPEAKER_03: And if you pay enough, you can get one.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: Plus, they say there will be A minus that they're going to be doling out.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: Oh, all right.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: But that I think is really unfair because if I got an A, then I got an A.
- 4:58SPEAKER_03: You did.
- 4:59SPEAKER_03: An A's an A, whether it's an A minus or an A plus.
- 5:03SPEAKER_03: I don't even know if they still do this.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: I would just hate it if it was like the cutoff, you know, kind of like, isn't it like Jehovah's Witnesses, where it's like only 982 of you are going to heaven?
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: Like, what if I was 983?
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: Like, what if I really did get an A?
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Then give me my stinking A.
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: Paymore?
- 5:19SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: And Dr.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: Wiley is going to Washington.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about Noah Wiley from the pit.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: So he is going to the Capitol this week along with his mom, who's a retired nurse, ironically enough.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: Oh, I didn't know that.
- 5:32SPEAKER_00: Yes, and they're advocating for better protections for doctors and nurses on Capitol Hill.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: They're speci specifically looking at the Dr.
- 5:39SPEAKER_00: Lorna Breen Healthcare Provider Protection Act.
- 5:42SPEAKER_00: And that's a measure that is money set aside for mental health and financial grants for healthcare workers who are burnt out.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: And then one last one for you, at least for now, is that Jeff Bezos backed getting rid of income taxes for the bottom half of US earners.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: Yay for us, right?
- 6:01SPEAKER_03: No, you know what'll be end up being our luck.
- 6:03SPEAKER_03: It'll be a thousand dollars, and that'll be the cutoff, and you and I would be above it.
- 6:07SPEAKER_03: So we'd still be to pay.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: Well he knows you get that close.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: But he also said raising his own taxes, oh, not necessary.
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, yeah.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: Oh, god forbid we do that.
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: You don't need to do that.
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: Because he says you could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens, according to Jeff.
- 6:22SPEAKER_03: I mean it ain't gonna hurt her, Jeff.
- 6:24SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: And there's the big three.
