Speaker 1 (00:00):
This portion of the Joe Show podcast is powered by
Fair and Faarah, Tampa Accident Attorneys. We're broadcasting live Tampa
Bay's number one and only hit music channel ninety three
three fl Z. Apparently emojis are dead? Are you done
using emojis?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Jed? What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
So?

Speaker 4 (00:21):
I'm in a group chat with a couple of other
guys and they're about five or six years older on
average than me, and whenever I use emojis in the chat,
I get no response back. They don't use emojis at all.
I'm well, how am I supposed to know what you
mean by this text? I don't know if you're just kidding,
I don't know if you're trying to be serious. I

(00:41):
love using emojis, and sometimes it's a little bit too much,
and you guys have seen it in an our group chat,
But I love emojis. I never want emojis to pass away. Ever,
we have to keep emojis alive at some point because
with all this artificial intelligence coming out, who's to say
that AI won't kill emojis.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well, that's what I was gonna ask, is chat chipe
t use emojis? Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:02):
I don't know because.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm gonna be honest with anyone ever under twenty five
seems to not use their brain and they only go
to chat GPT. So if chatchipts not using it, then
they're probably not using it. Well, but they're older, they
should be using emojis. Yeah, yeah, but they don't use
their brain. Just walk around and find anyone who's under

(01:23):
twenty five.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
And I don't think chat giptads emojis.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, I don't think so Gemini does sometimes does it, yeah,
but not all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
I do think emojis are dying.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
Though. I've been texting girls and I'm just like, I
have not been using emojis. I just feel like I'm
being taken more serious if I don't put a criny
lacking emoji. I think an LOL is just I don't know, lol,
or a smiley face without the emoji.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
See, I feel like y lol though it seems a
little passive aggressive lately.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
I'm with the lol over the crying mode. It's not
that funny LMAO. I'd rather hit you with two laughing
sideways emoji is straight. LMAO is sideways. But I only
noticed it when I was looking at the texture, and
I'm like, oh my god, I use a lot of emojis.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
This is really juvenile.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Now I'm gonna go through.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
Look, if you have a conversation with someone, look at
how many emojis you use, and then go look at theirs,
and you're like, whoa, I seem way more excited to
talk to them, or way more animated in my text
messages than I do than they do with me.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
So I was like, let me calm down on the emojis.

Speaker 7 (02:34):
I mean, I will be buried with my emoji and
all my exclamation points.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
And she's like, oh my god, three years enough.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Who is the last person to text an emoji? In
our show group chat? If you had a guess no,
don't look, no guessing game.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
I supposed to go look, got my phone.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Got to guess, Ashley.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Someone used it two times.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
In a row.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
I'm a two timer. It's a smiley face, a laughing face.

Speaker 7 (03:01):
Someone used this trophy? Do you like the smiley jazz fingers?
Like see and Katie using all those emotions.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I'm like, how long did it take you to find
all the Okay, we.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Scroll Katie had the emojis and four text you scroll up,
we get to the next person, who used it? It
was this the shocking face. Who used that one? No,
that was Ashley, No, that was me?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Oh that was me. This is very interesting, Well who
killed it?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Katie is by far the number one emoji used, and
it's not even close. Like literally, here's some of the
some of the used emojis from Katie.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
This is amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
She used a lie, she used the the one with
a man with a mustache. Okay for the summer stash Jack,
she used the dead skull emoji. She used the laughing emoji,
she used she loves the hand emoji, crying emoji, the emoji,

(04:13):
and then also she threw and this is she even
reacted with an emoji. Instead of using a thumbs up
her heart, she used the cute It's very cute, kay, Lauren,
you say that emojis.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Are dying, Yeah, I think so. Nobody I know uses
them anymore. I don't know if it's just because we're
getting older, but I still use like the old school
smiley face with like the colon and the parentheses.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Are you oh.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, no, I'm almost thirty, Thank you, Joe.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I don't know anyone's still using that. I still use email.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
I don't know I love it.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
You feel like lo o L is passing aggressively.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
The laughing. I'm not crying laughing, so I would rather
just give you the lo O L.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, but I love the cryings. Not really be laughing
out loud, No you're not.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
I do laugh out loud, might not drop a tear.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
But I'm gonna laugh at unless I am texting you.
You're not laughing.

Speaker 1 (05:15):

l l intra o O.

Speaker 3 (05:24):

Speaker 6 (05:26):
You know I was gonna type out and I was like,
oh my god, no, don't do that.

like I don't know Dracula.

hand emoji, Yes, your hand.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
