Ryan, what in the world
0:04
are you doing to our studio clocks? I
0:07
am saving us some time trying to get
0:09
ahead of this TikTok ban. What
0:11
are you talking about? So I'm hearing about
0:13
this TikTok ban, right? And I start panicking
0:15
thinking the government's got something against clocks. So
0:17
I am trying to fix all the clocks
0:19
in the studio before they get banned. That
0:22
is not what the TikTok ban is doing.
0:25
Listen, I can break it down for you if you want to
0:27
start the show. I am the very
0:29
concerned Ryan Willard. And
0:31
I'm Pamela Kirkland. It's Thursday, May 9th.
0:34
This is the 10 News. 10,
0:36
9, 8, 7,
0:39
6, 5, 4,
0:41
3, 2, 1.
0:43
OK, so if the TikTok ban doesn't
0:46
mean clocks, then it must have something
0:48
to do with TikTok, the social media
0:50
app. Pam, remind me,
0:53
why would the US government want to ban a social
0:55
media app? I mean, don't the
0:57
senators like learning random dances and funny memes?
1:00
Well, some of them might. But Ryan,
1:02
the US government has been talking about
1:04
banning TikTok for a while now, and
1:06
it looks like it might actually happen.
1:09
See, TikTok is owned by a company
1:11
based in China. And some people are
1:13
worried that the Chinese government could get
1:15
access to information from people who use
1:17
TikTok. So Congress approved a plan that
1:19
would give TikTok owners about a year
1:22
to sell the app to somebody else.
1:24
If they don't sell it, then TikTok
1:26
might get banned in the US. The
1:29
bill went to President Biden and he signed
1:31
it into law. Whoa, that sounds
1:33
serious. But what does that
1:35
mean for kids who love using TikTok? Good
1:37
question, Ryan. If TikTok gets banned, it
1:39
won't just disappear from your phone right
1:41
away. It would disappear from Apple and
1:44
Google's app stores, meaning you wouldn't be
1:46
able to download it or download it
1:48
again if you delete it. And you
1:50
won't get any updates or fixes for
1:52
bugs or security problems. Over
1:54
time, it might not work as well, and it
1:57
could even become a risk for your phone's security.
2:00
also stick around if another company buys
2:02
it. The only problem is ByteDance, TikTok's
2:04
owner, has said they don't want to
2:06
sell. That doesn't sound good. Is
2:09
there anything users can do to keep using TikTok if
2:11
it gets banned? Well, some people might
2:14
find ways around the ban, like using
2:16
special apps or tricks to hide where
2:18
they are, but that might not work
2:20
for everyone, and it could be tricky.
2:22
And if there are legal challenges to the
2:24
TikTok ban, which there almost certainly
2:26
will be, the debate over a ban
2:29
could be even longer, maybe years longer.
2:31
Is this happening anywhere else? Funny
2:34
you should ask. TikTok was one
2:36
of India's most popular apps until it
2:38
was banned in 2020. Almost
2:41
overnight, TikTok was gone, but the
2:43
accounts and the videos of Indian
2:45
TikTok are still online. Interesting.
2:49
Should we be worried about using TikTok right
2:51
now? It's always good to be
2:53
careful about what you share online, no
2:55
matter what app you're using. Some people
2:57
are worried that TikTok could share information
2:59
about its users with the Chinese government,
3:02
but TikTok says it hasn't done that and
3:04
won't do it in the future. Just
3:06
remember to be smart about what you post
3:08
and who you talk to online, and you
3:10
should be okay. Thanks, Pamela. Now I've got
3:12
to get back to these clocks. Ugh.
3:21
Mother's Day here in the U.S. is on
3:23
Sunday, May 12th. Mother's Day began in
3:25
1872 when Julia Ward Howe, a
3:29
pacifist, suffragette, and the writer of
3:31
the Battle Hymn of the Republic,
3:33
suggested it be a day where
3:35
mothers rally for peace. For
3:37
the next several years, she would hold a
3:39
Mother's Day meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. Then
3:42
in 1908, Anna Jarvis
3:44
started a campaign for a nationwide Mother's
3:46
Day to honor her late mother. In
3:49
1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed
3:52
a bill recognizing Mother's Day as
3:54
a national holiday. Shout out
3:56
to all of the wonderful moms out there. I
3:58
hope you all have fun. a great day. Yo
4:06
Ryan, what are you getting your mom for Mother's Day? Oh
4:08
man, I forgot that was coming up. Uhhh... I
4:12
have this cool cause shirt I could give
4:14
her. It's dripping-ing. I
4:16
don't think you're using that word
4:18
right. My mom said dripping-ing too,
4:21
and I was like, um, mom,
4:23
please stop. What if,
4:26
for Mother's Day, we define
4:28
the latest slang so our mothers can understand
4:30
us? Oh, my mom
4:32
would love that, but your slang's pretty mid.
4:35
Like, medieval? Nope,
4:37
not medieval. Alright, Ry, all
4:39
the moms out there, and, um, any other
4:42
grown-ups listening, I'm going to break down what
4:44
kids are saying in 2020. Okay,
4:54
first word is mid. Mid
4:56
means kinda average, but in a
4:59
bad way. So if I asked you,
5:01
how was that macaroni and cheese? I
5:03
might say, to be honest, it's kinda mid.
5:05
I'm not feeling it. Alright, since we're on
5:08
food, what about the whole eating and cooking
5:10
terms? If I say let them cook,
5:12
it means to give someone space to do what they're
5:14
good at, cause I want to see. And
5:16
if someone ate, that means they gave
5:18
an exceptional performance. So, neither
5:20
of those has to do with actual food?
5:23
No, not really. Get it. What
5:26
about drip? Drip. Drip
5:28
is usually about clothes, but it
5:30
means stylish, awesome, or very cool.
5:33
So if I said, yo, Everett, I'm loving
5:35
your drip right now. Would that
5:37
work? Yup, and then there's a whiz.
5:44
Which is short-fuck charismatic. It
5:46
needs to have smooth game, and a whiz-ler is
5:48
someone who has a lot of whiz. So
5:51
I'd say Ryan Reynolds has a lot
5:53
of whiz. He is a whiz-ler. No
5:55
cap. No cap? Like Tracy
5:57
Kaplan? No, Tracy Kaplan
5:59
is... is capped with a K. When
6:01
it's capped with a C, it's a
6:03
lie. So when I say no cap,
6:06
it means no lie. I haven't
6:08
played enough video games today. No cap. Perfect.
6:11
If you haven't played enough video games, you
6:14
should pull up. I can't do
6:16
a pull up. My arm strength is pretty mid.
6:18
If I tell you to pull up, it's an
6:20
invite, or it means you're arriving. Got
6:22
it. I think I know some gamer
6:24
terms. A dub or a W is
6:26
a win. An L is a loss.
6:28
An I op is an
6:31
opponent or an enemy. Sus means
6:33
suspicious. And if something is
6:35
S tier, that means special tier. Something that's
6:37
better than almost everything else. Low
6:39
key. I'm a little shook. That's
6:41
a good thing, right? Yeah. Shook means
6:44
surprise. I'm surprised you knew all those.
6:46
What about gas and slaps and
6:48
hitting different? If something is gas,
6:50
it's cool or dope. And if
6:52
something slaps, it means it's good.
6:54
And if something hits different, it
6:56
means it's special or unique. Like
6:59
nothing you've seen before. Like
7:01
in Avengers Endgame, when the Avengers arrive
7:03
through Doctor Strange's portals to fight Thanos,
7:06
that moment just hit different.
7:08
Exactly. Or like, for me,
7:11
AGR just hits different. They've
7:13
got so many bops. Bop?
7:16
A bop is a great song. I think
7:18
you're good, right? You passed the vibe check
7:20
and understood the assignment. Wait, are we
7:22
doing homework right now? Luckily
7:25
no. Passing the vibe
7:27
check means you're cool. And if
7:29
you understood the assignment, it means you went
7:31
above and beyond and did a great job.
7:34
Ah, thanks E. I think all the moms
7:36
and grownups out there will appreciate this vocab
7:38
list. Oh, you should give your
7:40
mom a Mother's Day shout out. Mom, thank you for
7:43
being the best mom ever. I love you. Thanks
7:48
for helping out, Everett. You should stop by the trivia
7:50
room. I know Owen would love to see you. Okay,
7:53
bet. Welcome
8:00
to the trivia room. Oh,
8:02
Diggity, my man, what's good? What
8:05
up, Everett? Lots of little, all
8:08
at the same time. Yeah, I need to get away
8:10
from the grown-ups for a minute, you know? Why
8:13
do you think I'm always in here?
8:15
Want to do some trivia? Okay, okay,
8:17
bet! What
8:21
is going on here?
8:26
Slitter of hell. I
8:31
liked your segment on slang, and I know
8:34
my mom will definitely appreciate it. But
8:36
I'm going to throw you a curveball today.
8:39
Which of these four slang
8:41
words is not in the
8:44
Merriam-Webster dictionary? Is
8:46
it A, hangry, B,
8:49
mid, C, cray,
8:51
or D, goated? I
8:54
think C. I don't know how many
8:56
people are going to say mid instead
8:58
of just middle or me. The
9:01
answer is... C. Cray
9:08
does not appear in the Merriam-Webster dictionary,
9:10
and the other ones do. Hangry
9:13
is defined as being irritable or angry
9:15
because of hunger. Mid has
9:18
been in the dictionary, but they added
9:20
another definition to it as occupying a
9:22
middle position. And
9:24
goated means considered to be
9:26
the greatest of all time.
9:29
For example, Tracy, my mom,
9:31
is definitely goated. I just
9:33
got schooled. Thanks for
9:35
playing, Everett. Thanks for having me, Owen.
