00:00This one is one of the most read on the terminal for the week, okay?
00:03So this is from Bloomberg.
00:04We'll get to the headline right now.
00:06It is Five Nights at Epstein's Game Goes Viral at U.S. School Campuses.
00:10Okay, so you heard of the movie and the game Five Nights at Freddy's, right?
00:14It's like the survival game where players kind of act as security guards in this pizza restaurant
00:19and they're going against these crazy animatronics, okay?
00:22But at Five Nights at Epstein's, this is when kids are playing in the classroom.
00:27In the classroom.
00:28In the classroom, and this is what has this story as one of the most read right now.
00:32So players are acting as like the sexual assault victims to avoid an attack from Jeffrey Epstein on his island.
00:39So parents are concerned, educators are concerned.
00:44There's people posting on social media about different ways that how kids can bypass the school security system to play.
00:52I was going to ask you, how do you get this?
00:53Is it like an app store?
00:54Is it just like a web-based game?
00:54No, it's not an app, and that's the thing.
00:56It's a web-based game.
00:57So most of the time, I know my daughter at school, they're not allowed apps, but this is a web
01:01-based game.
01:02So they can get it on their school laptops.
01:06So it's not a good parent's concern, and educators are worried about it, too.
01:11And this fellow, it wasn't just this one.
01:13Before this, there was Five Nights at Diddy's.
01:16So it's kind of a continuous thing.
01:17We don't know who's making it.
01:19We do know who's making it, but the thing is that this person is putting things out there saying, you
01:24know what, we're not responsible.
01:26We're not telling kids to do this and to play this and that kind of thing.
01:30Tell your kids not to.
01:31Tell the kids not to.
01:32And actually, I wonder if they are, because that brings questions to parents.
01:36When they start asking, your kid comes to you and says, what is Epstein?
01:40You know, and then you're stuck in trying to answer those questions.
01:43So it's a tough one.
01:43All right.
01:44All right.
01:44I want to stick with tech here.
01:46Okay.
01:46And I want to go to phones with adults.
01:49Okay.
01:49So this is from the Wall Street Journal.
01:51It says, is doom scrolling giving you wrinkles?
01:53Okay.
01:55You may have tech neck.
01:57Okay.
01:57Do you know what tech neck is?
01:59I do.
01:59I definitely have it.
02:00What is it?
02:01You were familiar with this?
02:02Oh, you're going to make me do this on television?
02:04Thanks, Lisa.
02:04I thought we were friends.
02:05It's like when you're scrolling and you're looking down, you get these lines from looking down all the time.
02:10Correct.
02:11Most people think it's like when you go to the, you know, the chiropractor and they tell you, you have
02:15this.
02:15Yes.
02:16Well, it's great enough.
02:17But the beauty industry, and that's the video kind of that you're seeing now, is that they are really jumping
02:23on this.
02:23So they're coming out with different rollers and different creams specifically for tech neck.
02:28And that's how they're marketing it.
02:29So they're taking control of it.
02:32And it's just good news for the beauty industry because, you know.
02:35What is this thing that's happening on the screen?
02:37Tell me what's happening.
02:38It's the red LED light.
02:40Yes.
02:41Red light treatment.
02:42Sometimes I know I see a lot of people wearing the full mask.
02:45Yes.
02:45Yes.
02:45Those masks are very expensive and I do not own one.
02:48But maybe I should.
02:48And this is the wand.
02:49And if Bloomberg would like me to have those tech neck procedures and trade for them, I'd be happy to
02:55do that for research and science and journalism.
02:57I love the rhyme.
02:59Tech neck.
02:59I didn't know that it was a thing.
03:00Tech neck.
03:01Until now.
03:01It is.
03:01All right.
03:02Okay.
03:03Want to move on.
03:03Are you guys hopping on a flight anytime soon?
03:06Okay.
03:07No, because as we discussed last week, someone got their vacation request in for me.
03:11It's a road trip.
03:12I'll be taking a road trip.
03:13You're taking it.
03:13Not a plane.
03:14No.
03:14Okay.
03:15This is something new that's going to be in United Plains.
03:17Okay.
03:17This is from Business Insider.
03:18It says United is rolling out beds in economy.
03:22It's the airline's new relax row.
03:24Okay.
03:24An actual bed?
03:25Yes.
03:26Okay.
03:26I love this.
03:26You want to see how it works.
03:27You can, if you're watching us on TV, you can see it right now.
03:30But starting in 2027, United economy travels.
03:33They're going to be able to do this on international flights.
03:35So it's a set of like three coach seats.
03:37Okay.
03:37So let me play it out for you on radio.
03:39Okay.
03:39Three coach seats.
03:40They have leg wrists that flip up 90 degrees.
03:43They convert into this flat bed that's big enough for like two small adults and a child.
03:48Okay.
03:49So Air New Zealand actually does this.
03:52They have a sky couch.
03:53That's what they call it.
03:54A sky couch.
03:55That's my friend got married in New Zealand and I definitely couldn't afford business class,
03:58but I was considering the sky couch.
03:59You have the sky couch.
04:00But so this is the first time it's going to be available on a U.S. carrier.
04:04So it's not sure how much it's going to cost.
04:07But it's just something new and something to consider.
04:10I remember in the good old days, many years ago, flying to Beijing,
04:13in-economy, and there was this moment when the door closed to the plane and everyone
04:18scattered to claim that middle row of three seats.
04:21Because there were open seats.
04:21It wasn't an effective couch, but there were open seats and you could lie down across.
04:24I didn't know.
04:25I was too green.
04:26I didn't know that that was what you had to do.
04:27So you sat the whole time.
04:28I did.
04:29It was...
04:29Oh, buddy.
04:30Well, you know, I've lived to tell the tale.
04:32Don't cry for me, please.
04:34I'd be happy if just regular economy seats flipped up so that you could just put your feet all
04:37the way up.
04:38You know what I mean?
04:38Like if they just would make like a little mini bed, because at one point I bought that
04:42inflatable thing that fills the footwell, but they've banned them.
04:45What is that?
04:46So I don't have it anywhere.
04:46It's great.
04:47Really?
04:47Yeah.
04:48So not like the neck thing for your feet?
04:49No, no, no, it's great.
04:50You blow it up and it basically fills the footwell and you can toss a coat over it and then
04:54you
04:54can put your feet up at least in your own little space.
04:57But you're a tall person.
04:58How does that work?
04:59I can't do that.
05:00I am, but I'd rather have my feet up.
05:01Oh, I see.
05:02I don't mind like...
05:02In like a crouch?
05:03Yeah.
05:04I don't know.
05:05Wow.
05:05Whatever it takes to get through those long hauls.
05:08We want to see how that...
05:09Planes are not my favorite.
05:11No?
05:11All right.
05:11Not my favorite.
05:12I might consider...
05:13I would consider it, though.
05:13I think I would.
05:14Is that it?
05:15Are those your stories?
05:16Yes.
05:16I do have one more, but I think we're out of time.
05:18Are we out of time?
05:18No, we've got a minute.
05:19One minute.
05:20Okay, let's go for it.
05:21This is the weekend, okay?
05:22This is from the weekend.
05:23Australia's social media ban runs into a wave of teen workarounds.
05:27Okay, so this is that law banning kids under 16, right?
05:30From apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit.
05:34Some 4.7 million accounts were closed when the ban went into effect.
05:37So the kids have found a way to get around it.
05:40They're tricking age verification checks with photos of their older siblings.
05:45That's one way.
05:46And they're using, like, virtual private networks, but they're also switching to other platforms.
05:50So they're finding other ways.
05:51So the question is, is this really working, or is it not working?
05:56This is a segment that makes me want to just throw my phone in the ocean, Lisa.
06:00Are your kids on social media?
06:01Absolutely not.
06:02See?
06:02There you go.
06:04Are you on social media?
06:05They're not watching.
06:05I am.
06:06But, you know, don't...
06:07They're not watching this.
06:08But if they were, I'd say stay off.
06:09I know.
06:10It goes to that question of what age.
06:11We'll get tech-necked.
06:11I don't want my kids to get tech-necked.
06:13There's just no good is coming from it.
06:14We're not sleeping, we're getting tech-necked, and our kids are...
06:17Getting tech-necked.
06:18Getting tech-necked.
06:19Sorry.
06:19This was a bit of a depressing beat to them.
06:20Well, no, it's all right.
06:22We've moved on past that first one, Lisa, which was so...
06:24Yeah, Lisa, we appreciate you.
06:25You're keeping us informed, even if we don't like the information.
06:28Thank you, Lisa.
06:28Thank you, Lisa.
06:28Thank you, Lisa.
