Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's mo Joe in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So this weekend, Chelsea and I spent the entire day
just watching a show we binge watched from start to finish.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's on Oh God, what is it?

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Peacock Network, and it's a show called All Her Fault
and it's about this kid that gets kidnapped. And it
was a really good It was really good acting like
it had It had the one of the sisters from
Session Succession that was in it, and then it had
one of the guys from What the hell is the

(00:34):
show where they go on and they go on their
vacation together, Load Everybody Together, White Lotus.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, it was really good.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
So, long story short, we put Peacock on and now
I didn't even know we had Peacock, but I guess
we have it, and I think I think we have
it for probably that. So we have Peacock there and
it's on the app plan and I can't figure out
a way to turn off subtitles.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I want to talk about this right now because I
want to ask this question, what the f are people
doing nowadays, especially younger people, watching shows with subtitles. I
am watching this show like it's some foreign film at
the Sundance Film Festival with the words scrolling on the bottom,

(01:18):
and then when music starts playing, it goes music. I
hate that, and it's going, and I'm watching this going
people do this. So we ended up watching two or
three episodes with the subtitles sign because I legit felt
like my mom and could not figure out how to
turn off the subtitles because the way that the Peacock
app is is not anything like my Apple app or

(01:42):
Disney plot.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Just go to your TV to do it. No, your
TV is on the app.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
And so Shannon, I'm watching this stupid thing and I'm reading,
and I'm thinking to myself, the people that are watching
shows with subtitles are usually like twenty somethings that are
doing this. They haven't read a book in like twenty
eight goddamn years and I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Even know how like, and they're reading the subtitles of
this set.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
I think it's it's like a multitasking thing, yes, is
what I think.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
That's the only I.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Don't know that you're you can watch that you need
to be doing more than one thing.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
At a time, So watch and read.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I don't know, that's the only thing I can I
can think.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Of all of my friends.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
And I watched one of the Nate Marghetti specials over
the weekend that I hadn't seen.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yet, and it wasn't until it was almost done. I'm like,
something's weird. Something weird. Was so different. I'm like, Oh,
the subtitles have been on the whole time.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Wait, you're getting his joke after his joke.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Well as it's happening.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, I hate it.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
The only time that I think I've ever like actually
utilized the subtitles are for Narcos. Do you remember when
Narcos first popped out and it was all Spanish like
for something that I don't understand, then you have to
watch the subtitles.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
But if I can hear it in.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
English, like, it just seems like it's making my eyes
away from the action because I have to read what's
going on and I'm not watching what's actually taking place.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I think the.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
Younger generation and I feel old saying this, but can't
just focus on you know what it is, what's the
what's being the images on the TV?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's her fault. I love subtitles because of TikTok.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's because everybody has to show a video with the
with the words on there, you are the problem fault.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
But I'm saying that I get though, Like if I'm
out of out and about and I'm I don't have
my ear pods, whatever the case may be, and something
comes across I'm watching the TikTok, I'm more likely to
continue to watch it if I'm able to read what's happening.
If I'm in my home and I'm watching TV.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
It annoys you. What am I What do I have
to put the subtitles on for?

Speaker 7 (03:42):
I want doing a lot of things at once, Like
I'm probably smoking a little so my head's already not
all the way. You have to read the subtitles though,
and then I can glance up and oh, that's what
they just said. Okay, glance back down at my phone.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
You're not even watching. I'm watching watching, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
The problem is with this ubtitles is the subtitles get
in the way of you kind of enjoying what you
thought you heard. Like I hate to say this, like
I all of a sudden go, oh, that's what they like.
I started like reading and then I'm not even watching
the screen.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm looking at the bottom of the screen. Don't know
what I'm saying, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
Now, I will put the subtitles on if for some reason,
because if they say something and I still don't get
it after rewinding, I'm like, no, I need to know
what they do.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
They just say and I'll put it on.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
It's only good if they're soft talking, you know what
I mean, Like sometimes they soft talk, they whispered through things,
or if it's like you said, Narcos where it's a
foreign or.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Sometimes the accents are so strong, like I think. I
tried to watch Peaky Blinders Maybe was the show and
I couldn't understand what I finally had to stop watching
it because I.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Couldn't understand it, but I had to put subtitles on
for it.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
What's going on, Colton? How you doing?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
How can you not use subtitles? I have been using
subtitles since Oh.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
You hey, Colton, when's the last when's the last book
you read?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Listen? When you read a book?

Speaker 8 (05:05):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
You make a picture in your head? You make a movie?

Speaker 8 (05:08):
Right?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah? Okay, I like that.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Well, think about it. Like subtitles, I don't want to
miss the thing when I'm watching something, you know, That's
why I do it, but I've done it so long
it's just become a literal habit.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You literal habit. Coleton.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
The only reason you're doing subtitles is because you're so
stoned when you're watching.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
I'm multitasking, Mojo. Can you eat and watch TV at
the same time. Yeah, you can watch subtitle you can
read subtitles, can watch it. Yeah, what's your point?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Tell them? Emberlee? What's going on? Hi?

Speaker 8 (05:45):
Hey, y'all, how are you?

Speaker 9 (05:46):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
You know what, I'm good. I like that show, but
the subtitles were driving me crazy.

Speaker 8 (05:52):
I love subtitles. I used to hate subtitles. I used
to make fun of like my ex two lived on subtitles,
and then I got used to them, and now I
can't live without them and I even use them on
TikTok shamelessly.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
I'm twenty eight, and you know, because you were saying,
you know, like the millennials, twenty year olds, whatever, I
can't live without them now. It helps me keep focused
on the show.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Does anybody listen to our show with subtitles?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Can you?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I would like to know if the subtitles can.

Speaker 8 (06:21):
Share on Spotify. There's subtitles on your podcast on Spotify
and maybe sometimes I do use but that's why all.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Of the social media videos are like they all a
lot of.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Them have cap You know, it's funny.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
It always says the wrong thing of what I'm saying
because it can't pick me up.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
What's up, Jen? How are you doing good?

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Good?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
How are you We're good? You're a teacher that encourages
your kids to watch subtitles.

Speaker 8 (06:45):
Yeah, yeah, so kids don't like flipping pages, but they
will definitely watch their shows. So I tell parents are
not on those subtitles, those contents reading minutes.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know, it's funny, Jen.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'm like, I don't know if you know this, but
I'm dyslexic and so I have a little problem reading.
It's tough for me to do this because I can't
pay attention. I have to like fully watch. You know,
you should see me trying to read five and six
or fifty five questions that.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
She reads it.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
It's a game I play with myself every morning. How
far off the actual question I wrote?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Does he go? I'm always like, why does she have
to put these big words in there? For me? What's
going on? Lacey? How you doing?

Speaker 7 (07:23):
Good morning?

Speaker 8 (07:24):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Lacey?

Speaker 9 (07:26):
Hi, Okay, subtitles. I need them. I have to have them.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Really.

Speaker 9 (07:31):
I'm thirty five, yes, and I used to hate subtitles.
My husband got me into subtitles, and I used to
always call him old and he's only two years older
than me, but hey, he's closer to forty than I am.
But I'll tell you I have to use them because
sometimes we're just doing too many things, like you guys
were saying, we're doing too many things, and a lot
of times I can't understand what they're saying, so I

(07:52):
have to read it.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
But here's the thing. If you can't understand what they're saying,
you're not listening to it loud enough.

Speaker 9 (07:58):
Probably, Oh it's loud again. My husband is two years
older than me, which I think he's sixty. He has
a hearing problem, so it's a loud but I can't
understand the words. Sometimes I think it's maybe just another
age barrier where it's like they're mumbling more.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
What do you do if you go to a movie theater,
they don't always have subtitles running.

Speaker 9 (08:19):
Well, see, if I take the time to actually get
out the house and go to the movie, I'm putting
my phone down on the movie, and we're gonna watch it.

Speaker 10 (08:27):
See.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
I can understand if you're doing something else and you're
listening to the show and if they say something that
you either didn't hear or didn't understand, and you glance
over and you see what they said.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I can understand that.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
If you are seated and you're just not doing anything else,
you're watching.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
TV and you have the subtitles all, then you crazy. Yeah, Well,
here's the thing. I think there are so many people
like Anna who aren't even really watching and even looking
at the subtitles because they're looking at their phone the
entire time. So they got three things going. They've got
their phone, they've got the actual show they're watching, and subtitles.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
And probably a bag of doritos and it could.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Be a bas and then add another one to it.
Probably whatever you took that's making you eat those us.
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
How you doing? Nick? Good? How's going good man? What's
going on.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
Now?

Speaker 10 (09:18):
I was just going on because I am about to
be forty, and I watched subtitles religiously and I have
no shame.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, so you're into it? What got you into subtitles?
Was it like my thing that happened to me. It
was an accident. I couldn't figure out how to shut
them off.

Speaker 10 (09:34):
No, you know what I think is is that I
think this probably goes to the younger generation as well
as like playing video games and anime. You know, the
subtitles in the botncy have no choice.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know.

Speaker 10 (09:45):
I also use so much subtitles that now my kids
are kind of really obsessed with subtitles n.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Subtitles.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I would never watch a movie that required subtitles, like
an all foreign movie, because I'd get bored trying to
like sitting there reading it the whole time. But I
kind of get the idea that watching subtitles just off
of what you already understood maybe reinforces it. So it
kind of gives you a little bit of help. But
uh I, and I'm so used to my affinity where
I just go in my remote and go subtitles off.

(10:14):
You should have seen me yelling at this thing because
it was on Peak IG and it was on the stream.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm going subtitles off, subtitles and it's not listening to
me at all. So all right,
