| 0:00.0 | The bird show time to get buzzed on the hot goss from Hollywood with Abby. It's the |
| 0:06.0 | bird shows entertainment bus. Would you pay to use X aka Twitter for a small monthly fee? |
| 0:13.2 | Well, Elon Musk is suggesting that he's going to start charging all users of Twitter. |
| 0:21.9 | So he said they're moving to a small monthly payment for the use of X and he's saying |
| 0:26.9 | that this is quote-unquote one of the only ways to eliminate the bot problems because you'll |
| 0:31.7 | have to use a new payment method every time you want to make another account. So he |
| 0:35.8 | think that's going to deter people who are going to create all these fake accounts. |

| 1:25.8 | was part of my daily routine. I would check Twitter. I refuse to call it X multiple times |
| 1:30.8 | a day, especially like that's where I got a majority of my breaking news was courtesy |
| 1:34.8 | of and I love doing like when they had like live sporting events or like when you would |
