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.
