Speaker 3 (00:50):
Do any of my friends in this room right now
use the Citizen app?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Does anyone have it?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I have? You have?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Guys? I have too? I have Okay, but not you're
not on it right.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Now, No, because it's not in my area where I live.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, but yeah, and so the people who don't know
this is like an app that alerts you to like
police in emergency activity and crime and things that are happening.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I don't have it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But do you set like your you put your ZIP
code or does the phone just know where you are?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Does it use your GPS? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I think you put in where you are. I don't
have it, which is what this blog is about. But
I believe so because it's definitely if it is where
you are. I didn't realize that it's not everywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah, it's only active like certain places, certain places.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, Well, I need to have an intervention for my
boyfriend and my best friend Maddie because those two are
addicted to the Citizen app and it's getting a little
out of control. So my boyfriend, it's to the point
where he gets alert so any time anything happens near us,
he is alerted, and he thinks that he needs to
(01:50):
do something.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, so the.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
CBS the Citizen app already knows about it, and it
is that like he's the hero.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He doesn't want to be the hero.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
He just he's one of those people that wants to
be informed on any single thing. For me, I want
to be less informed on everything. I don't want to
know if it doesn't involve me. I have too much
going on in my head. So the CVS near our
apartment keeps getting robbed, okay, and obviously because we live
near it, we know the people that work there.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Whatever. Key to the point.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's to the point where the other day he goes, Kaylin,
someone just smacked one of my people down at CVS.
I gotta go down there. I'm like, no, you do
not mind your gies.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's what That's what I meant before. I'm like, no,
stay out of it. Stay out of it. You don't
need to do.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We don't need like citizen vigilante justice kind of stuff
going on here.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Like let the cops handle it, I guess.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But even more so, you don't need to consume your
entire thoughts life things worried about what is going on
in your area. That can't be healthy. It cannot be
healthy to know all of the crime, all of it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Guys, I knew everything was going on.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's the same reason I look up like criminals in
my building, you know, like public record criminals.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
There's a way to do that too. I don't. I
just don't. I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't have kids, so I don't need to be
worried about, you know, certain types of criminals.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
But I just ignorance is bliss. Like if I find
out that my next.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Door neighbor is like some form of predator, Like, this
is gonna be terrible because every time it's gonna it's
gonna make me miserable. I'm gonna wonder like if they're
gonna if I'm gonna be a victim of something.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yes, I just I guess I want to understand it.
I don't understand how that information helps us in any way.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
For me, Ignorance is also bliss. If there is he nosy?
Is he a nosy Nancy?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
No, he's not a nosy Nancy?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Is he? Is he? Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The King of the Gossip, the goss guy?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
He's like Jason to where like Jason watches the news
every night and then hostously. I don't get how Jason
can watch the news and then go right to back
the news will stay with me and Jason always tells me, well,
I need to know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
My question is why, Well, like we Mike is the
same way as I am. We listen to the police scanner,
like if we hear a bunch of sirens, like we
got on the police scanner, Like.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
What's going Do you have a physical police on the phone? Yeah,
And what does that do for you?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I guess like I feel better knowing that there's danger
near me that like I know about. It's like in
like I guess prepare like either leave or like lock
the door if someone's on the loose running around my
neighborhood or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I don't know. I mean I.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Avoid a traffic you know, accident.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I mean, if there's like it, god forbid, there's I
don't even want to say it, but like god forbid,
there's something active going on that I need to, like
on the street in front of me that I need
to avoid or not be involved with, Like then I
want to know about that. But usually there's when they
have the phone has a way of like a you know,
if it's that big of a deal where you are,
then they'll send out an alert, you know, like that
(04:50):
there's something very bad going on. But if it's like
petty crime or just average kind of stuff like I'm
not going to get involved, so and I did. I'm
not standing there, you know, So to come in my house,
what am I going to do?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Like, Okay, let me get my basketball bat and go
down there, Like I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Not going to do that. Like that's a bad idea.
Nobody wants you to. The cops don't want you to
do that.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
No, and even above that, I just don't understand how
it's serving you in any way. There's a drug deal
that went bad two blocks for me, I don't want
to know. I don't want any part of it, you
know what.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I like I was one of Shane Steelers problem. Was
it one of his guys?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Probably yeah, because he's a huge drug guy if you
know him.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
But yeah, no, I don't. It's I just I want
it to stop.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, I don't. I don't necessarily need to know everything happening.
I think sometimes ignorance is bliss. Now again, if it's like, hey,
don't go outside because there's this going on, or hey
don't get in the way of this, or or you
know whatever, like then I want to know about that.
But it's the reason we don't do a lot of
there's a lot of news that happens that we don't
do on this show because it's not that we're insulating
or that we don't want it's just it's just like
you can find that information if you'd like it. If
(05:48):
it's going to affect your your safety right now, then
we'll share it with you. If it's affecting, like you know,
something very large that you need to be aware of,
then then we'll share it with you. That's our job.
But other than that, like I don't need to go
through murder, No, it needs to know like every you
know what I mean, that's
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Between the two people doing the drug deal down the street, Okay,
I don't we don't need to be involved.
