Check out what's trending!

It's the bread show. This is what's trending.

They think they know, at least how one of the LA fires which started. A newly released video allegedly shows the moment that a powered transmission line sparked the deadly Eaten fire in Los Angeles. The video was filmed by an Arco gas station security camera and Alta Dina during that January seventh windstorm. Lawyers from the Edelson PC claim a verse of light that's visible in the footage is power lines from the Southern California Edison starting the fire. About ten minutes after that initial spark was seen, the fire broke out nearby. The blaze went on to kill seventeen people at least and destroyed or damaged over ninety four hundred structures. You've been thinking about going to the Super Bowl. I know many of you around here were thinking about that. You can't wait to see the Eagles and the Chiefs, which I've also seen a lot of sports people saying that they're not happy about this matchup. They don't think it's that good.

Well, didn't we just do it a couple of years ago?

It to have them before, because I remember.

That's how Jason and Travis calls.

It kind of were put on the map if you didn't know who they were, because it was like brothers are facing off in the right.

You're right, you're right. It was a couple of years ago.

Yeah, and so I'm like.

And the chiefs one. Yeah.

And there's that famous video of Jason's daughter I saw last night, actually Jason's daughter in the hotel room afterwards, saying to Jason, Daddy, you didn't win, and he goes, I didn't win. I didn't and she goes, no, uncle Traviy won. And then uh and then and then his wife goes, did you want Uncle Traviy to win? And she goes no, And then he was just like, well, you know, we'll let Uncle Traviy have this one.

It's okay, you know, or whatever.

But the little girl and there's I also saw another video of those two last night talking about how it was going to be you know, eight grand or whatever to get the babies into the Super Bowl because I guess back when they played before, they have to buy tickets to get the kids in and that what is his wife's name?

Why is it kaping me? Kylie?

And so Kylie's going it's going to cost us eight grand to get a baby into the super Bowl.

That's ridiculous.

This is it's crazy.

Well, you know, but if you want, I guess you wanted the kid to get in and sit. But players have to pay for their own super Bowl tickets, which.

Is great Taylor alone, I know, can you get your nieces in?

I know?

But tickets for super Bowl fifty nine are cheaper than last year's big Game, but there's still some of the most expensive in Super Bowl history. This year, of course, the Eagles and the Chiefs in New Orleans, a rematch of Super Bowl fifty seven, which was two years ago, and the what are they saying about eight thousand dollars? Yeah, it's about eight grand the cheapest ticket as of yesterday, on average, fifty seven hundred was the cheapest.

Eight grand is the average. It goes up from there.

So that's how much it costs if you want to go to the Super Bowl, which again that is not accessible to the average fan, which is why I said a million times the super Bowl is a weird game to go to because it's not really like when I went, I went and sat. I was actually in the family section of the Carolina Panthers when they went and got there, m A's just kicked and like ours was one corner and then the the Broncos were like the exact opposite corner, and those were the two that had the colors, because like everybody was wearing Panther blue and everybody was wearing orange, and you could see and everything else was just like whatever. It was some dude that like peeled off a Pepsi label and won ticket to the super Bowl and like didn't it like didn't care or like corporate sponsors or whomever, like people who don't really care who wins. Because the first super Bowl I went to, I didn't it was Colts Saints. I didn't care who won. I think I rooted it for I think we picked one. We picked the Saints and rooted for them. How did you end up there?

Hello?

Because another friend of mine had a plug and some payer. Okay, Drew Brees and I dated for a while. It's fine whatever the team you saw, Yeah, Peyton Manny versus Drew Brees.

Yeah wow, but it no.

Somebody was like, hey, I I I can buy tickets from the NFL at face value for the Super Bowl. In a couple of weeks, so it was like eight hundred dollars instead of eight thousand because it was actually face value.

Do you want to go?

And I was like, okay, I didn't think i'd ever get to go to another Super Bowl ever. Again, I'm like, oh, okay, there's a lot of money, but sure. And then like I had to sign this whole form from the NFL that said that I wouldn't sell the tickets because I was buying them at face value. And then I went and I remember on the both super Bowls I went to on the because both super Bowls I went to, I was able to buy tickets that way. And the day that I went to the game, I could have made at least ten times on my money if I just sold the tickets right there you did.

But I went.

I looked at the Beyonce. I looked at the back of Beyond and the back of the who who I know one of the first one?

Did you explain that one?

I know?

The second one?

You could buy face the same deal. It was same deal both times. Yeah, well a little bit different, but the same deal essentially. I never had to pay that that mark up.

My nana went to one in New Orleans and I'm jealous as how I'm just go this year.

I mean, it's cool to say you did it right. It's like an experience. There's just celebrities everywhere to the parties, like leading up an act. Yeah. I went to one of the parties that was crazy. I went to the official tail NFL tailgate. That was wild.

That's cool. It was really crazy like this just I don't know who.

Did he Oh no, no, that was the that was the freak off afterwards. And I couldn't. I couldn't make it. Yeah, I couldn't make it. I wasn't able to go. Okay, but I I as you know, I like music from well before the time that I was born, well before the time that I was born. And I walked into this tailgate in Miami and it was like it was it was in Miami, so it was open. Yeah, it was the first one with the Colts Saints was Miami. And they were like, it's like an NFL tail gate. It's pretty expensive, but there's like food and drink and all you get. It's like pretty crazy. And I walked in and my friends and I are all like looking at the thing at like who the entertainment was and there were some big names, and then it was and aught that many people in this thing, relatively speaking. And then someone goes, who the hell Steve Winwood, He's like a yacht rock artist from the eighties. That song Valerie Call on Me. It's a sample call on Me. It's a sample of a Steve wind Woods song. Oh, and so some I was like, who the hell is Steve win Woods on this stage? Who the hell is that?

I go, what you ran?

Oh, d Winwood's here, and I just.

I like, I like sprinted across this tailgate, like like pushing people across the way, and there were like seven of us standing there watching Steve. Oh my god, I was, so is there there's no artists like that that would do it for you? That like sounds kind of hokey.

I don't mean B two K, right, because y'all already give me enough crap for that.

But there's you guys have to have hokey artists that like if you if you walked into a venue at you know, if you went to Lallapaloos and you didn't know and they had some just random person and you'd be like, oh my god, and you just run over there to see him.

Nobody. I'm sure nobody from yesteryear. Hmm. I mean, Cal's got a whole long list time.

Oh my god, there's so many Like match Bucks twenty is one of the best consciers that I've ever been sho, that's one.

Of the people wouldn't necessarily like No.

I'm embarrassed, Like I'm embarrassed to say that, but I had the time of my life, I go.

To Matchbucks twenty. I'd go to Nickelback again. I've been to Nickelback.

I want to go for the first. I want to see Creed on that damn tour. So I don't know, Yeah, I'm embarrassing.

Hey, Nickelback a little bit embarrassing, but people give them a hard time. I mean, for my money, there's a few Nickelback songs that just go hard. They go hard on the paint they do, and I don't care, and I'm fine with it. Okay, never mind, I guess it's gonna cost you a lot of money if you want to go. So we're approaching groundhog Day and Pete is calling for get another change.

To groundhog Day.

They don't want the punk Satani Phill to be an actual groundhog. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have suggested if Punk satoni Fill, the groundhog who predicts whether winter will go on for six more weeks or spring will arrive early, should be replaced with a weather revealed cake, a gender reveal. I like it, yeah, basically more pink. You would just cut it open and then be like, ooh spring. I guess they would just speak to Punk Satani Phil. He would tell them verbally what was going to happen, and then they just bake the cake. Right. According to Peta the vegan, of course it would be a vegan treat too, would mimic that of a sex reveal for a baby. Once cut, the cake would show one of two colors, blue meaning six more weeks of winter, or pink, indicating in early spring. The animal rights advocates, out of the punks, Toney Phill in his family should retire to a reputable sanctuary instead of taking part in the annual tradition. And I say this every year when they come up with some idea of what we should do on February second. Instead of that, I say it every year that groundhog has got to be the best treated groundhog in the world.

Elect Yeah, they worship this thing.

You don't have anything else to do. He can get to work on February second. I think the rest of the year he is interruputed. He's probably treated like a king.

He is.

I think he lives in the library with Phyllis or the other one.

Yeah.

We looked it up one year because we look up weird stuff for our job.

But I feel like things are probably great.

She was a weird day at work, and Phillis can get.

Out there in the field. I think so too.

President Donald Trump discussed a possible deal from Microsoft to buy TikTok while speaking with reporters by phone from Air Force One. A lot of interest in TikTok. There's great interest there apparently. So maybe we'll get something done and then Microsoft will own it and everything will be fine.

Kiki, you won't have to worry about PowerPoint.

It's not the same already. You saw the conspiracies algorithms up.

They switched.

That whole thing when they went offline was to switch servers.

Oh yes, Why did Facebook make a TikTok the second before it went down? And then it's down for the time it takes to switch servers. I need the like, what's that show? That old show?

Do do? Do?

I want mysteries?

I don't.

Yeah, I need that playing because my conspiracy theories.

Yeah.

And finally, guys in what's trending this morning? It's tax season and this reminds me of an episode of Ship's Creek. But nearly one in five gen Zers believe they can write off literally anything as a business expense.

Of course, hey, they're not wrong. I did my taxes yesterday. You guys shout out to Dan. Would you write off Dan and my taxes?

Girl? It did?

I not write off everything?

Well?

We know you have towels for the business.

Well I have three now because of Dan, and I got a baby that was a nice little barrel. Yeah.

Yeah, that one doesn't make sense to me. It makes sense why there's a tax right off? No, it makes sense. But like really, like, I'm gonna have a baby that's gonna cost me a million dollars to raise. But I but I get like a twelve thousand dollars tax credit or whatever it is. I don't know how much it is on eight eighty five hundred bucks or something.

It's like that.

The math don't math on that it costs way more to have a kid than that. You need to hook me up way better than that. IRS.

Yeah, way more.

So be safe out there. But yes, I got, I got my TAXI. You file with Harvey, right, Yes, yes, well that's another.

Thing you get, like a joint tax credit too, don't you.

I believe so she rich. Hey, I don't know.

Dan does what he gotta do. Yeah, I don't want to hear about how broke you are anymore. You got a kid and a husband to write off.

So girl, it's nothing, show it off. Yeah, what I got is nothing.

But they literally think you can write off anything, dinners, PlayStations, business expense, they say. A survey for Turbo Tax dug into the tax knowledge of four thousand Americans and twenty percent of gen Zers think that you don't have to file taxes if you're a student.

Oh but you do. Oh boy.

The survey also found that baby boomers have their own tax myths to bust. A surprising twenty seven percent believe that if you make under the IRS incomry reviirements, you can't get a refund or don't have to file. That isn't true. The way that Americans file their taxes is also changing. Smartphones are giving desktops a run for their money, with both both devices tied to twenty percent usage. Millennials are particularly thought of filing on their phones. The survey also revealed that Americans would be willing to pay more in taxes if they could choose exactly where the money goes.

You know, yeah, you know what, Yeah, that's my big issue.

I mean, look, I don't want to want to pay more taxes, but that's my biggest issue with taxes.

I don't know where to hell the money's going, right, we need I need to say, like, how.

Do we not have all these things that everybody wants, but yet we just pay more in taxes? And then people and I don't mean to make this like ultra political, but then people run for president whatever party and they say, well, we're going to get this and this and this and this, but we're going to raise taxes. It's like, but we can't spend the money. We already have dollar taxes, we are how many gazillion dollars are we in debt? And you still can't. So you're just going to charge us more. And then I'm supposed to I'm supposed to believe you. That's like giving your friend your money for investments. Like, Man, I got ten grand to invest in something I know, I'll give it to the guy who just fell bankruptcy.

Like no, no, give it to me to gamble. I'll double it.

See. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Its national plan for Vacation Day, which I've been doing for weeks now and since I was on vacation last, and Data Privacy Day, which reminds us to review how our data is being used, which I don't do because if I go to a website that's like cookies or you can't look at it, I'm like, okay, cookies whatever, and then I have no idea what I just accepted. I've never read the terms of service. No, but I needed to see what was on the epsy site. I needed to see it right now. The entertainer report after flow ride in three minutes, fresh job,
