The Morning Quickie: Costco I.D's aren't real (06/09/25)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, ma'am, I'm John for in the morning quickie on
ninety a rock brought to you by Barjoe Ford.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
All right, ninety on the coast, ninety plus inland. And
it looks like you've definitely got a chance of showers
late in the afternoon, and then it looks like the
brand chances decrease after that.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Aj, it looks like let me drive for the next
few days here, all.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Right, Well, good morning. And I don't know if you saw,
but over the weekend it was official Wild Oasis, which
was set to open a bush gardens Tampa Bay this weekend.
It's a new adventure realm has been officially postponed. Why well,
they want to ensure that the new area is everything
that they wanted to be. Still work in progress apparently,
which it's going to feature brand new attractions, brand new animals,

(00:43):
and we don't know when exactly it's going to be
opening just yet. Keep your eyes in their socials as
they'll be announcing an updated timeline here soon. But one
thing's for sure. Past members and fun Fun card holders
will be able to receive a free ticket to use
through June thirtieth for the inconvenience Okay. The Trump administration's
budget proposal for twenty twenty six plans to cut funding

(01:06):
for pell grants, which help low income students pay for college. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I actually use a pel grant. Yeah, back in the day,
Back in the day Matham College was a nickel.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
The maximum PELL grant would drop from it seven three
hundred and ninety five dollars to five thousand, seven hundred
and ten bucks, affecting about forty percent of undergrudges who
rely on this. That's insane, which the point also limits eligibility.
It excludes part time students taking fewer than six credit hours,

(01:40):
which could also cut off about ten percent of recipients entirely.
They say more than half of pelgrant users will be
getting less money because of this. Come on, man, which
it's not official yet. The proposal still needs Senates approval.
Changes are expected, but if they approve it, done deal.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I mean, there's nothing off the table when it comes
to get cut right now.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
So, I mean, it's insane, come on, come on, shocking
to me, but yeah, helping low income students get that
education to lead our country.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Low income students, lots of students.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
We were middle income in my family yeah, when I
grew up, but it was like, it's like, are they
going to supplement something else to fill that gap, or
it's money out of your own pocket, that's just going
to supplement it.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Wow, Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
President Trump is reportedly planning to extend the deadline for
TikTok sale again, which would be the third one since
he retook office in January. Of course, they've got to
sell that app or face a band in the US.
Says The current deadline is uh ten days from now,
June nineteenth.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
My life's not going to change on this one.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
But I know a lot of people depend on TikTok
for their advertising, for their marketing.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
For their money. A lot of people make money on that.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, it's a big deal for those of you who
don't do it. It's a lot bigger deal than the
thing for a lot of people, different reasons.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
All right.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
So if you're bummed that you could make the trip
to England for the final Black Sabbath performance, they've just
announced that it will be live stream world. Why back
to the beginning, of course, It's going down July fifth
and Birmingham, UK, the birthplace of the BAM feature sets
from the Mighty Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Hailstorm,
Alison Chain's Lambagatti and Thracks some Masta don just to

(03:22):
name a few.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
It's hard to believe Metallica is doing another show after
that weekend.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh yeah, but I still got a few I can.
I'd be like it a month before I get another jo.
This past weekend, they're gonna be in Houston, Leander.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
This week they still get shows in San fran as
well as another couple of dates in Denver. And then yeah,
then they'll be flying across the Pond for this show
July fifth, which the stream is going to begin ten
am Eastern that day, and it's gonna cost you, though
twenty nine dollars and ninety nine cents with vod replay,
and you'll be able to experience that through July seventh.

(03:57):
Limited live stream tickets are available. Now back to the begin.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Com all right.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
And finally, the TSA Transportation Security Administration is asking travelers,
for the love of God, stop using your Costco membership
card is an ID for flights.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Why well, apparently some people see that, you know, they think, oh,
there's a gold star on this, so we could use
that it's the real ID, because remember, yeah that's not
the case. If you haven't gotten your driver's license updated,
then yeah you need to go make that happen.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
But essentially open up your driver's license. If you see
a little gold star on their stars, gold you're golden.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's it. That's the real ID. Their card, their Costco card.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Bringing in like a family pack of toilet paper, yeah,
carry on or something.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Proof that it's me.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
This is the card that they are more strict about
letting people in than you are.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's great that it gets you forty rolls of toilet
paper for twelve bucks, but it's not going to get
you that seat in twelve sea.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
All right, now, I'm sure that everybody is gonna bring
in every type of picture idea they have possible and
make a regular idea.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Last, just for funny gigles.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I wonder if anybody's actually like taking a gold star
and putting it on their driver's license, you know, just.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
To see if it would work really looking like chunky
cheese idea for this eighty seven right here?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
All right, rock flop, care.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
You go, that's what we got for You want to
comment on this stuff, maybe get with the star Goddess,
you can do that right now, the talk back feature,
the free iHeartRadio app, and of course eight hundred seven
three seven double oh ninety eight. You've got a chance

minutes of ninety eight Rock
