Speaker 3 (00:24):
Speaking of devices, so I don't know that I need
to say this out loud, but be very careful with
who you allow access.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
To your phone. You do need to say that out loud.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
So this is real because there's a policeman that is
in a lot of trouble for what he was doing
when he pulled over women with their phone. Oh uh
huh new fear unlocked. None of the cops so much
is just other people doing this. So I'll tell you
that story in a second. But first, really big news
coming out of Australia. They will become the first country
in the world to ban under sixteen year olds from

(00:53):
having social media accounts. Wow, we're talking Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, all.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Of the about smart You just can't do it. You
can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
So it's their whole thing is that they want to
protect Generation Alpha from being sucked into purgatory by predatory
algorithms described by the man who created the feature as
behavioral cocaine. That's how strongly they feel about it.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, didn't the person from Australia also just come
over here. I was like, oh my gosh, Like, you're
eighty years old. You can't be working, Like, why aren't
you retired? So what you're saying is we should move
to Australia. Yeah, I'm interested. I thought that it's confirming
it even more from annoyan Yeah why not?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
So this all goes into effect on December tenth, and
it's interesting to see the reactions to people that like
underneath of the post, because of course it was announced
on social media. But it's like a lot of the
people are like, if I was sixteen, I'd be probably
really upset.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Honestly, who doesn't agree with that?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, if I was at age, I would be upset too,
but as like I would be, I'm concerned for but
I would be concerned for my.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Child to have it at that age. Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
And I feel like as long as you like showcase
all of the negative and bad things that can happen.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't know, let me understand to protect you. Yeah.
Do you think any other countries will follow suit? Oh?
Not the US, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Not here.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, in the US are just trying to make it
lower that you have mandatory you have to have social
media before you're even born. Over here, how they control
you so whatever. Okay, I would imagine some other countries might.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Really it will be interesting to see how this plays
out the rest of the world. I'm just curious to
see if anybody else does it.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Will Oh they're a good place too.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Right, Actually, they're so happy over there. There's like the
happ It's like one of the happiest places in the world.
They probably have social media, but they're just like cool
with you know, like they use it when they want
and other than that, they just walk around smiling and
saying hi to each other.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Can we just shake your hand? Yeah? What is that?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Like?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
On candy and rainbows, it's the Netherlands and cows and cows.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Sure that's what you're into? Happy ones? Yes, I mean
know your people, what are they like? Steroid it up?

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Angry us cows, guys at roid rage.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
You know, they've manipulated their hormones so much that we
manipulate too.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Anyway, we don't have to go into that. Cells don't
have hoofs. Somehow they've grown human fingers.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Hey, but the food they let us eat is fine,
you know it, don't approved it?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
On a much happier note, who doesn't like to receive
a gift? Well, when it comes to gift giving this
holiday season, there's a new method to help you decide
who is important enough to get one.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, it's called the Onion method.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
So this was created by an etiquette expert who says,
you think about the people that represent the center of
your life, and then you go outwards and you can
decide how far you want to go. I want to
go two layers, three layers, whatever it is. But you
start in and go out.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
What if people are like on like the mid layer,
or like they're kind of like on the line.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I just think it's funny because it's called the Onion method.
Really do whatever you want, right right?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I mean that's good. Yeah, makes sense kind of what
we're doing anyway.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, I feel like people do that naturally, right, They're like, well,
you're close to me on by some nice You're like,
just like, not.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
That close to me. So you can get like a
gift card. You call them being a method. Then all
of a sudden you have so you get viral.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I'm gonna come with the same method, but I'm
gonna called the ring of trees methods because you know
they have the rings that also go out.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Knows that viral.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Care be where you post it. If you just have
the picture saved, some cop might see it. Actually, specifically
one cop. This is not a generalization. There's one Saint
Louis police officer who was in a lot of trouble
because he admitted that he was pulling over women and
searching their phones for news. Who new fear unlocked again
off of the cops other people you let see your phone.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I just I don't understand mission. Was that an admission?
What do you mean he admitted that? Yeah, no, no
ating theirs in my phone. Yeah, it's not news. I'm
always right, you're just getting to know me. I mean,
I've always had the role neck down.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
But the creepy part though, to me, is that you're
just gonna go to somebody's because you're like, Oh, you're
a cute stranger. Can I dig in there and give
myself something to look out later?

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Like?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
What is that? What possesses you to do that?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
How's the cop getting the phone? I mean, obviously you know,
let me see your phone? You would buy that. Yeah,
that part why I pulled you.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Over your phone?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
You gotta check your your cell phone reception in this
to do with everybody your phone real quick, check the
reception in the area.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
What's your password?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I would be like, yeah, right, I'm sorry, but you
would though, right, if a cop pulled you over and said, hey,
can I see your phone, I'd let I'd give my phone.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Up, I would first start. I don't think I would.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I wouldn't question that because that's an abusive power. Yeah,
I would question it. I would be like, because that's
why you see my phone? Yeah, do you have a
warrant to like see my phone or take you know,
search my car whatever things like that.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
But yeah, I would definitely know.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
I was gonna say, I guess maybe that just puts
back to the whole know your rights thing.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Did I immediately get out of the car and be like,
I'm so sorry. I know my tags are expired. I apologize.
I don't even know what caut.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Me down you or you could always distract them with
something else if you don't want to make your phone
to ask your phone just like, yeah, let me just
get into under this kilo of cocaine.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm really worried about the other thing. And then they
won't touch your phone. That's what you got to do.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Phone in jail protection, carry that arounalogy in case you
need it for that opportunity.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
That's where you it's where it's only can protection. That's
what's trending.
