All right, Takota of 508. We'll drink a toast with a show of the day. And we do have your headlines on the way of 550.

But first quick check out with Mike Hogg and some of the stories and headlines he is not working on.

You should really quit smoking, Miles. That's right. Thank you, Miles. There's a fast-growing demographic in the world of renting boomers.

I can believe that. They're starting to go back into their renting ways. Well, also, like, if you're already a boomer and you're retired, like, why would you buy a house to invest in a property? Yeah, very call. You know what I mean? It's hard to get a mortgage. Yeah. If you can't buy it in cash. Would you have a 30-year loan? Right. My parents are, my dad's 85, and they were talking about it.

And they're like, well, they rent now.

It's like, do you know how hard it is convinced a bank that even give you a 15-year loan when you're 85? Well, sure, yeah, 15 years was going to be like, 76. I was like, I'm going to buy this house. I was like, you have no children. How? Yeah, and it's like for, I mean, you could afford it, but it's like you're never going to see the profit on it.

No, no.

No. of no children. How? Yeah, and it's like, I mean, you could afford it, but it's like, you're never going to see the profit on it.

No.

No. No. No. A new study found that kids who use social media score lower on reading and memory tests. Just keep repeating this. Do we not know this yet? Come on, man. It's not fed to him. Correct. That's not by Domus's rapid fire

There's not a lot of real retention

I don't blame the kids on this

It's like guys it is what it is. We know this now. There doesn't even need to be retention. Even if it is your friends and what they're doing, it's starting to become that, oh yeah, I did see something about that. Like, I catch my self doing it more often than not. Yeah. It makes sense. Like, right. You give people 15 second tidbits of information. That's probably what's going to happen. It used to be that you had a roll-a-dex of people that you would call throughout the entirety of the week just to catch up with them and see how they're doing. Shoot, we got a news board now that just tells you what everybody's dealing with, as long as they're free to put it up there.

Exactly.

After a while, you hear from somebody that's like, I didn't know you were going through that. Like, well, I don't post everything on social media. Yeah. Some of you post too damn much. Yeah. Hear about what my kids did today. Like, I don't care. I do not care. I don't care.

Or vague posting.

Another crazy day.

Done with the long it today. Like, I don't care. I do not I don't care. Or a vague posting. Another crazy day. Don't much longer I can deal with it. Just got something to say. Freaking say it. Right. Jesus Christ. You're going to find help, man. Come on. There's a new fabric patch in development that you sew into your sleeves and uses static electricity to allow you to chat with AI and control smart devices. Oh, that's all right. That sounds a little deep. Yeah. No thank you. I mean, it's cool that you can do that if you choose to, that zero appeal to me. Right. You have at it. But the people that do like it. Yeah. But no, I'm okay. I don't need to. I don't need to talk to anybody else. No, I don't even need to talk to smart devices. No. I got the smart device at home years ago, and it was a fun... What did you get? The little echo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Amazon Echo. And it, you know, it's fine. And it was a fun little novelty that you could ask a questions and it would tell you.

But honestly, if I wanted to find something or I wanted to set a timer, it was easier for me to just pull out my phone and do it. Set a timer for two minutes. 20 minutes starting now. Like, I got it. That's not why Aaron keeps calling Miles. That's right.

Says his brother's name. Mike. Right. And it calls Mike Jones. But you're thinking caps on, boys. Time for the Miriam Webster. Word of the day. I give you guys a 90% success chance on this. All right. No pressure. This is going to be a good one. It is a a noun and it is a you word that means an imaginary place in which the government laws and social conditions are perfect. Utopia. Utopia. Utopia. Utopia. Known in Baltimore is Utopia. Oh, we're living in this utopia. I don't want a utopia in Baltimore because I don't want to hear him say it.

Oh, no.

Welcome to our utopia.
