shame in like I tried to quitand it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, so you do it again.
There's no shame.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, I feel like when you delete Facebook or you
delete your account like.
First of all, when you decideyou're like you know what?
I'm spending too much time onhere.
This is not healthy, healthy atall they make it.
It took me probably 30 minutes.
(01:26):
I had to Google like how todeactivate.
Wow, because you have like hey,real quick was like a fan page,
like your business sideBusiness.
That's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
But like you have to delete that first, OK, and then?
Like Instagram is kind ofseparate and you have to delete
that first, okay, and then likeInstagram is kind of separate
and you have to delete that andthen.
But then they give you thewhole.
Well, I mean, even thoughyou're deleting it, if you log
back in you have like 90 daysyeah.
Otherwise.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Your dealer will still be on the corner if you
happen to be in the neighborhood.
Right yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So like just taking the app off your phone, which?
I've done that before oh yeah,that's kind of like to me,
that's kind of like puttingalcohol on a tall shelf like a
tall cabinet.
Yeah, but deleting all the appsthat's kind of like pouring
everything down the sink.
Yes, yeah, it's like, I mean,you can get back on there if you
want to yeah but yeah it, I wastrying to think it drove me
(02:26):
crazy because for every like onething I saw that like put a
smile on my face.
I saw like a hundred thingswhere I was like I guess I need
to buy that or I'm angry right,yeah, like I never got off of it
and was like oh, I feel better.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
No, ever no.
But it's just that scroll likewhere they talk about, like the
dopamine hit of, just like.
Maybe I'll find something Forme.
It's oh, it's a puppy video ora baby video or or the guy
cutting the grass, yeah.
Watching somebody or like likehey, put these plants in the
(03:04):
same bed together or whatever.
And then you know I weatherpeople losing their homes or war
etc.
And it's like why do I need tosee that on Facebook?
(03:31):
Now I feel like a big fathypocrite.
Take the plank out of your owneye, because right now I do have
it on my phone and I'd taken itoff my phone for probably I
don't know six, eight months.
But we're looking for a car onFacebook Marketplace.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, it makes it easier to find stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I know, yeah, and my husband uses it for business.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Which I get if you've got a business.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But it's still a way to get on there.
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, it's all about sucking you in well, I was
telling a buddy that I wasgetting off there.
He's like you're gonna keep thehey real quick page and I was
like I'm not because I willstray yeah, like I don't do
anything.
You're all in or nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I'm all in or I quit, yeah, I can't go like middle of
the road it's like I just geton there for 15 minutes and set
a timer or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Like yeah, no, and I think I took it off First of all
when I deleted the accounts,like as soon as they were all
deleted, right, I felt lighter.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I was like okay.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
But then, like maybe 30, 40 minutes later, I was in
our room and I was walking tothe kitchen.
Oh, I'd left my phone, like onthe bed or something.
I go in there and I grab thephone as I'm walking to the den
or the kitchen.
I just I don't even realize I'mdoing it.
I opened my phone and I just Iwould have clicked on Facebook
(05:01):
Right or Instagram and I just Iwould have clicked on Facebook
Right or Instagram Just as Iwalk 20 feet just to scroll, for
you know 30 seconds and justsee Whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, but like.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, yeah, if you it's not on there.
Yeah, if it's not an addiction,I would challenge anybody.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Don't delete it, because that's I mean, you have
to go through more stuff to dothat.
See if you can take it off yourphone for 24 hours.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And not be jonesing after 30 minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
Or coming home from work orwhatever it is where you kind of
just you know, because back inthe day I feel like that space
that was filled was eitherpeople went and did stuff with
other people, maybe theydefinitely read more books,
because they always talk abouthow now people don't read books.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
We had newspapers or you'd pop on the TV.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Couch potato, you know, but there wasn't 5,000
channels and this many streamingthings and you know there was
no like binging Everything.
Yeah, like now.
It's just like do you want towatch three seasons of TV in a
day?
Do you want to order food andhave it just pop on your porch?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You know, like man, I wish we could get McDonald's,
but we didn't have to go get it.
Okay, yeah, what do you want?
It's everything and nobody.
Yeah, you know, like man, Iwish we could get McDonald's,
but we didn't have to go get it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, yeah, like, what do you want it's?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
it's everything and nobody's healthier for it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
No, Well, the, and I knew I got not roped in but got
too into it Because, like Idon't know, we turn on a
basketball game.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
All four of us are in there, the basketball game's on
and then, like you know,there's commercial.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's the thing People don't even watch
commercials now.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
They have no patience , but the kicker is like oh,
it's a commercial, I'll just geton my phone.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So four people are on their phones, game's on, but
then the game comes back on.
Yeah, but you're on your phone.
You're already scrolling.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Notice that too, yeah .
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You'd be like it'll be March, Madness.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, can you sit and wait and you'll look around,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And people are like do you see that?
Oh man, he made it.
And like, oh, you don't even.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
No, yeah, you don't care as much.
And then also, like I've donethis with certain sporting event
competitions, did you see thegame?
No, but I'll watch thehighlights.
Yeah, I mean some of thatstarted with ESPN.
But like you can pretty muchscroll through on an ESPN app or
(07:33):
even via Facebook and see allthe oh, that was the crazy play.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's like the live version of almost anything
anymore is not as big of a deal,makes me feel a little bad.
You know what I mean like wellused to.
Everybody talked about itbecause yeah, it was a water
cooler conversation.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
That's what was on now everybody's go to a water
cooler, somebody's on theirphone they ain't gonna talk to
you um they don't need onebecause they got the Stanley Cup
, but anyway.
Yeah, which I thought of itthis way too.
It's like I don't need to knowwhat everyone thinks of
everything I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No, you don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I don't want to know what.
Like if I went to Home Depot Iwouldn't just walk up to
somebody and be like, hey, whatdo you think about the political
situation in the world today?
I don't want to know, I donpolitical situation in the world
today.
I don't want to know, I don'teven know that person?
No, but yet I'll get onfacebook or instagram and be
like what no?
And then I'll click onsomething I get mad about.
I don't know who posted it it'sjust some random thing.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh, I know and then you're angry about it like your
blood's boiling, your bloodpressure's rising, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And it's weird too, because, like you know, you used
to go to a waiting room.
I'm not saying I miss magazines, but they had magazines.
But if you go to the waitingroom now, everybody's just on
their phone.
Kids don't even.
We went to the dentist.
Dentist, two T's in there, butwe don't say it like that, we
say dentist.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Kids weren't even looking at the fish tank.
It's like a giant fish tank.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I know and you know, they pay a lot of money for the
fish and the people come cleanit.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, just get rid of that fish tank.
Put a charging station rightthere for phones.
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Or iPads Kids on iPads Used to little kids would
be like look Nemo or Dory.
Now they're just like uh, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I don't, it's not good.
Yeah, I won't say enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I hated it.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Like it always made me I'm not going to say straight
up depressed.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, yeah, a little bit.
Yeah, it is depressing.
Well, all the like, all thecounselors and therapists and
stuff say oh, the research, thedata, it's horrible for you,
it's horrible, it's definitelyhorrible for kids no-transcript.
(10:03):
Um, I am Ruth.
I've only seen stuff about itbut, probably on Facebook, Kate
Winslet.
So she plays a mother and heractual real daughter in real
life plays the daughter andshe's addicted to the social
media stuff and so she.
(10:24):
I'm not, there's no spoilers,but basically she takes her
phone to try to get her to, youknow, get healthy and stuff, and
it is, you know, and I don'tknow if people have seen this
and this is super like sad andserious, but like there's a
video that was circling on theinternet and probably social
media for a while, where there'ssomebody on a plane with their
(10:46):
teenage daughter and it's just.
I don't know if she just hadenough or what, but the mom said
nope, give me your phone.
I don't know if it was aconsequence or what lost it and
the daughter loses it.
Like you know, she's in detox orsomething day one oh, yeah, I
mean is screaming and you wantto go.
This is not.
(11:07):
Not only is it not healthy foryoung people, but like I don't
know, you know?
I mean there's and there'stalks about like do we allow
social media only at a certainage?
And then there's certainschools who are like nope.
I think hand in the phones atthe beginning of the day and
they interviewed some highschoolers about it and they give
them back at the end of the dayand they were like it was
(11:30):
actually like a huge weightlifted.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Right, because you're not.
You don't feel.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
They don't want to check their phone and like now,
like people have like thephantom vibrating, Like was it
my phone vibrating in my pocket?
Well, they don't have theirphone in their pocket.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Like it's.
It's so subconscious.
Well, they don't have theirphone in their pocket.
Yeah, Like it's so subconscious.
I don't know it.
Just I do want to watch thatmovie.
I'm sure it'll be a hard watch.
What's it called?
Again, I think it's called.
I Am Ruth.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, it's also, I feel like the age thing is a cop
out.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, it's not good for anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You watch people in Washington or whatever, and of
those people are on their phone24 7.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah like, oh well it's.
It's really addictive forchildren as they scroll.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm like you're addicted more than the kid is I
know yeah but I mean, I gettheir brains developmental stage
.
Yeah sure, like I don't knowit's a way to pass the buck, to
be like it's not my problem, I'mjust I'm looking out for the
kids, because this can be veryaddictive.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We don't want them addicted, right?
Yeah, well, I mean, and it's, Imean it's like the dumbing down
of society.
I mean, you know, I'm, I'm, I'mguilty, but I'm also calling
myself on it because I'm not ahuge reader.
But I used to read, yeah, likeI'd read at night, even if it
was a few pages, until I getsleepy, like I love a good book,
and there was some data about,like, how many books people read
(12:55):
anymore, or you know whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
We don't have time to read?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, we don't, because I'm on my phone and if I'm
going to watch the news, well, Idon't like to watch it because
it's a it's depressing as heck.
B I do kind of want to know.
I do kind of want to knowwhat's going on, because I don't
want to have my head stuck inthe sand like I probably should
know.
But I just hit the top fivethings on blankcom, whatever my
(13:23):
news app is or whatever yeah,and do and do I read the whole
article?
Do you know how many times I'vetold my kid Well, I didn't read
the whole article, but I sawwhere.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Because my nobody has an attention span, and I do
that.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I would feel bad, or like I'd see a basketball video
or something funny.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'd be like, hey, y'all see this and I would show
it to him, and then I'd pull myphone away.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It kind of feels that like, oh no, that's daddy's
drink.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Exactly, it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's like what are y'all drinking?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Like oh well, this is for adults.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It's the same way with the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It is, we show it to them like oh see, how cool that
is yeah, that's mine, but I sawit on social media and you can't
have it yeah, yeah, exactlyit's twisted, it's real twisted
and it's I was trying to figureout how much time I spent on
such, because I wake up early.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
So especially on like a saturday, I wake up like five
, five or probably 5.30, 5.30 or6 and, like our boys, will
sleep until like 9 10 whatever.
Robin gets up.
I don't know she would get up8ish or whatever, but I'm just
sitting in there a cup of coffee.
I'm like you know, the TV's onturn on some show right but then
(14:41):
the next thing you know likesomebody's coming downstairs.
It's 9 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And I'm still sitting there.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, I've been on my phone for three.
I'm like yeah.
If I poured half of that timeand like how to actually hit a
golf ball well, or yard work?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, whatever Anything.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Or like just anything productive.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And also I think I think you know when something's
bad.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Anytime you try to limit anything you know it's not
good for you.
Nobody's trying to tellthemselves, like you know what
I'm going to cut back on apples.
Right, you know, I'm going tocut down on eating.
No, yeah, exactly, everybodyknows it's trash because they're
like I need to get off my phone.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Exactly.
You don't eat six Oreos and gothat was great for me, or say
I'm going to pull back on thesocial media and then get back
on it for a little bit and thencome back and feel nothing, I
can't do that.
I mean, it's a little icky.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, can't do that.
I mean I've it's a little icky,yeah Well, and also like in the
not saying days were betterback then.
But they were um like eighties,nineties, oh yeah, like even
when you disagreed with somebodyright.
You didn't know everything.
They thought you.
You probably had a clue, Like Iprobably know where they land
on this, and that's why I don'ttalk about it with them.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But now how they feel about everything.
You read it, you see it, and Igot guilty of that at the end,
like I would start.
That's how I knew I got kind ofroped in Because I would get
mad about stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm like I'm going to post something.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, no-transcript.
(16:54):
Somebody out and saw a longtime, but you know everything
they've posted on instagram andfacebook and you don't agree
with it yeah, are you gonna?
Are you gonna greet them withthe same like?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
oh good to see you, yeah, yeah, it's tainted the
relationship.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Because you can't really still like.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I don't know, that's just in the back of your head.
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, it's not a good thing yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't miss it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, no, there's not enough puppy videos or people
scaring each other, but man doesmake me lose it.
But yeah, I could scare peoplein my house.
I could just start doing it andthen I could laugh.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Well, I mean just kidding, I won't I miss the.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I mean, has certain people we'd send memes, or silly
golf videos or stuff like thatwhich I told my buddy I was like
yeah, just print those memesand mail them to me.
Yeah, yeah, you got some stamps.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah, yeah, but I mean, we still got which they
also this came up.
I was like, oh, I'll get rid ofFacebook or Instagram.
And then I'm Googling can youkeep Facebook Messenger?
Oh right, you know, I'm like.
You know what?
No, I.
You know, I'm like you knowwhat.
No, I'm done with my phonenumbers.
This my emails, this you canwrite me or you can call and you
(18:09):
should text me because I don'tneed to my email.
But yeah, I guess there's thatand then like but you try to
justify it before you quit.
I feel like that way with anyhabit.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So I'm like trying to get off of it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm like, well, probably keep it, because you
know, hey, real quick stuff andyou know you kind of post
something every now and then I'mlike nope yeah, I can't do it
like.
Yeah, I'm like I'll just youknow word of mouth or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, like old-fashioned I'm done with.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
yeah, it's just yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And I mean since all that first came out, it's
totally different you know,because people talk about it on
the, the platform they talkabout how, like this is mostly
ads or just things that I agreewith, or reels or whatever.
And then a few people and like,even if you're using it for
(19:07):
business or just a hobby orsomething you do maybe you're an
artist I don't think you reachthe same amount of people.
No, now, I could be wrong.
I don't.
I've done all the analytics onit, but like it does not reach
the same amount of people.
Or hey, this family's and evenif it's really good things and
you're trying to get it outthere.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It's not the same animal.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, there's no way.
Well, like yeah, people willpost something like, hey, we're
trying to raise money for hisfamily, or whatever.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And then like one person will like it.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, like you're not , I don't know.
Something wonky going on thereyeah, it's basically qvc like.
That's what I feel like towardthe end.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I would just get on there and I'm like I'm just
watching infomercials yeah onwhat I should buy, and then
every now and then I'll get alittle news yeah and then, like
it would throw me for a loopwhen I saw somebody I knew like
post something.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I'm like oh, I know there's people on here, yeah
it's weird and you know how youwould see, or see the.
Hey, I reconfigured my settingsbecause I was only seeing yeah
kind of like a chain letter orsomething.
It was so like stock um text,like this person didn't write it
, they copied it.
But like, are you only seeingads and stuff?
(20:25):
Me too, I wasn't seeing any ofmy friends, but now and I'm like
what?
Is that I don't know it wasweird, it's just kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, sorry, mark, I do not trust you, but yeah, it
was just.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, it was a different algorithm.
But like I saw less personal,it's less personal, not
algorithm.
But like I saw less personal,it's less personal.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh yeah, there's not people, as many people that you
know, that you know your friendswith on Facebook, right, unless
you've unfollowed them orsnooze them or whatever.
Like you know you're friends,going to see something.
It's just.
I just don't.
I just think it's picking andchoosing for people or something
.
It's really weird.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well then you talk about something and then you get
on Facebook and there's an adfor it.
Like the first, I know they'relistening.
I'm not an idiot.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, which is just like now we're at the point.
That doesn't even bother us, wejust yeah, that is weird.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's a little weird.
Yeah, I know I know they'relistening to everything I say.
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, and here we are .
You know, it always makes methink of that movie, wall-e, the
Pixar movie.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Which a lot of people didn't like it.
They thought it was a snoozer.
But man back in the day we hadthat on repeat.
And like people repeat, andlike people are sitting around,
they drink stuff out of 64 ouncecups.
They drink their food.
I mean, what's up, sonic,what's up, whatever, what's up,
you know, who knows?
Have you heard of this newplace called swig by the way,
(21:57):
I'm derailing for a minute swigit's a place no, no, no, no, no,
hold on.
They do have cups, but it's aplace that just serves drinks
and I was like what is this?
It's like your nourishment no,it's just a drink place.
I don't understand it.
We need to look it up onlinewhile we're talking right here,
(22:17):
but not on facebook.
But so I've been trying to goto work the same route, and this
happened five, six weeks weeksago.
For two weeks, franklin Roadwas so backed up that I thought
there was a wreck.
And it was Swig Every other dayand somebody was like no, it's
this fancy place called Swig.
It's so dumb, it's overpriced.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Swig Soda Shop.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, they were like it's basically like Sonic drinks
, but bougie.
And people were in thedrive-thru line that they were
backing up all the way from,like you know where the Chewy's
is.
Sorry.
Yeah, Sorry guys, brentwood,this is a locale, that little
street that joins to Franklin.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Road.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
They were all up, wrapped up all around in there.
They should have had the policedirecting traffic.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Can I read about it?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, this is all Wrapped up all around in there.
They should have had the policedirecting traffic.
Can I read about it?
Yeah, this is all.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
First of all, when you pull up Instagram or
Facebook, Swig is going to beall over it.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's not the cups, by the way.
It features customizable dirtysodas, water-based refreshers
and reviver energy drinks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Or Sonic with extra money.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Anyway, anyway, it's a bougie sonic I know it's all
it is.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's all it is drinks , but why did I bring that?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
up, I don't know, but oh gosh, I feel like that's
what social media is, what justhappened yeah, we're talking.
Oh yeah, we're drinking ourstuff you're talking about
something and the next thing youknow yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You can't stay on topic.
No wonder we have attentionissues.
But anyway, that movie WALL-E.
Everybody's sitting becausethey're all overweight.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Right, right.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And they're all just drinking hey food in a cup.
Remember, like.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Scorny.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Weaver is the voice of it.
And then they have these littlescreens in front of them and
that's how they talk to eachother and they float around on
these little chairs and theynever look face to face.
And something happens, becausewally gets in the thing and yada
, yada and finds a plant, andthen little uh eva the little uh
screens go bad and a guy and agirl, kind of like, notice each
(24:23):
other and they're like whoa, canwe stand up?
I don't know, our muscles areso.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's where we're headed that's what, that's what
the earth is full of trash.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
They're off in a spaceship.
I mean, how close to realityare we getting with pixar?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
they knew something we didn't know that's what
happens in a waiting room whenyou, when you put your phone
down for a second and you makeeye contact with another person,
yeah, and they're like they hadput their phone down.
I will tell you what happens.
They get a little weirded out.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
And they're like uh.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
And they kind of go back to their phone, right, or
maybe they'll give you a nod orsomething.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, but yeah, or they might be the only other
person and the only other personand they kind of like you both
know we're the only people noton our phones looking down and
sometimes you'll talk to them,yeah, and you'll be like I'm at
the nicest person in the waitingroom.
What's up with that, you know?
Like we, yeah, no wonder wehave anxiety and don't want to
(25:21):
talk to people.
We don't ever practice it.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We, we're all socially awkward.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
And people are like call them, I'm not going to call
, I love calling people.
I love using the phone for whatit's for, yeah, but anyway, I'm
not saying you have to quitsocial media.
I'm just saying it's good foryour health.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I'll say this I would challenge anybody.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Like I said, do it one day.
Yeah, just take it off yourphone go one day, and if you and
see how addicted you are yeahbecause I was the same way yeah
that's why I knew, becausethat's why I deleted it, because
I'd taken my app off the phonebefore.
I'd taken it off the ipadbefore, but I would just go the
next step.
I'd just be like there weredays I would sit and I would be
(26:05):
in the car line and I didn'thave the app on my phone and I'd
be like I'm just going to addit back.
And I would add it back becauseI'm bored in the car line, right
.
I'm like well, I mean, there'sno harm in looking at it now.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
But I'll say that.
I'll say this I don't thinkanybody's going to be on their
deathbed and be like.
I wish I would have posted more.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
No.
Or you know what I'm saying.
Like man, I wish I had scrolleda little bit longer.
Like because.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Braxton's in ninth grade.
He's got three more years.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I'm like and I'm not saying I haven't set my recliner
and scrolled and ignored mykids, because I've done it
multiple times, probably daily,but I'm like that's how you got.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
They don't be here that much longer.
No, and it goes fast.
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I mean you can get on .
I think if you want to get onYouTube and watch funny videos
and you can go down that hole.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I mean we used to talk about getting on the
internet and wow, went down theblack hole of the internet.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
But used to.
You had to go to the computer,get on there and, like I'm going
to watch.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Right Sit in a particular chair in front of a
particular desk or screen tableand all that stuff.
And yeah, it's when it startedtraveling around in our pockets
with us.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I don mean, I have a smartphone.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
It's hard to not buy a smartphone, by the way.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Oh yeah.
Well, I mean, you kind of gotto have it, but I'm like if I
just use it for the things thatare convenient and not for
entertainment and justmind-numbing.
It's like you've seen the old.
You know those memes you see onthose places.
What is that?
Social media?
Don't sit too close to the TVyou know, we heard that.

Now people are diving into televisions.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah Right, it's bonkers.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's like when you gosomewhere that you don't have
cell service and those placesare few and far between, but
like there's this retreat centerwe've been to in Texas before,
or like if a kid goes to a campor something they're like
there's no cell service, thechoice is made for you.
(28:28):
If you want to call somebody,you got to go to the office for
a landline.
I love it the first day two,people are kind of like twitchy
and stuff, because they're likeI can't check my home, well, I
don't know.
Go to the office and check youremail.
If the work's not calling you,then I guess you can just relax.
And it's like this about daytwo you just kind of go and you
can't believe it and you don'twant to go back to it no, that's
(28:50):
the thing after you've been offfor, like, go somewhere for a
week.
You know you can't have wi-fior cell service.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's the best when I act like I can't leave the house

sorry.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, either is mine, because I've quit social media.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm so proud of you Again.
Mm-hmm, yeah, which the lasttime I think I was off there.
You were off a while.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
At least a couple.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Again, mm-hmm yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Which the last time, I think, I was off there.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You were off a while.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Two, at least a couple years.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Maybe more than that Mm-hmm, but it's like I feel
like it's like any addiction Ifyou try to stop, there's no
shame in like I tried to quitand it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, so you do it again.
There's no shame.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, I feel like when you delete Facebook or you
delete your account like.
First of all, when you decideyou're like you know what?
I'm spending too much time onhere.
This is not healthy, healthy atall they make it.
It took me probably 30 minutes.
(01:26):
I had to Google like how todeactivate.
Wow, because you have like hey,real quick was like a fan page,
like your business sideBusiness.
That's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
But like you have to delete that first, OK, and then?
Like Instagram is kind ofseparate and you have to delete
that first, okay, and then likeInstagram is kind of separate
and you have to delete that andthen.
But then they give you thewhole.
Well, I mean, even thoughyou're deleting it, if you log
back in you have like 90 daysyeah.
Otherwise.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Your dealer will still be on the corner if you
happen to be in the neighborhood.
Right yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So like just taking the app off your phone, which?
I've done that before oh yeah,that's kind of like to me,
that's kind of like puttingalcohol on a tall shelf like a
tall cabinet.
Yeah, but deleting all the appsthat's kind of like pouring
everything down the sink.
Yes, yeah, it's like, I mean,you can get back on there if you
want to yeah but yeah it, I wastrying to think it drove me
(02:26):
crazy because for every like onething I saw that like put a
smile on my face.
I saw like a hundred thingswhere I was like I guess I need
to buy that or I'm angry right,yeah, like I never got off of it
and was like oh, I feel better.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
No, ever no.
But it's just that scroll likewhere they talk about, like the
dopamine hit of, just like.
Maybe I'll find something Forme.
It's oh, it's a puppy video ora baby video or or the guy
cutting the grass, yeah.
Watching somebody or like likehey, put these plants in the
(03:04):
same bed together or whatever.
And then you know I weatherpeople losing their homes or war
etc.
And it's like why do I need tosee that on Facebook?
(03:31):
Now I feel like a big fathypocrite.
Take the plank out of your owneye, because right now I do have
it on my phone and I'd taken itoff my phone for probably I
don't know six, eight months.
But we're looking for a car onFacebook Marketplace.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, it makes it easier to find stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I know, yeah, and my husband uses it for business.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Which I get if you've got a business.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But it's still a way to get on there.
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, it's all about sucking you in well, I was
telling a buddy that I wasgetting off there.
He's like you're gonna keep thehey real quick page and I was
like I'm not because I willstray yeah, like I don't do
anything.
You're all in or nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I'm all in or I quit, yeah, I can't go like middle of
the road it's like I just geton there for 15 minutes and set
a timer or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Like yeah, no, and I think I took it off First of all
when I deleted the accounts,like as soon as they were all
deleted, right, I felt lighter.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I was like okay.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
But then, like maybe 30, 40 minutes later, I was in
our room and I was walking tothe kitchen.
Oh, I'd left my phone, like onthe bed or something.
I go in there and I grab thephone as I'm walking to the den
or the kitchen.
I just I don't even realize I'mdoing it.
I opened my phone and I just Iwould have clicked on Facebook
(05:01):
Right or Instagram and I just Iwould have clicked on Facebook
Right or Instagram Just as Iwalk 20 feet just to scroll, for
you know 30 seconds and justsee Whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, but like.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, yeah, if you it's not on there.
Yeah, if it's not an addiction,I would challenge anybody.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Don't delete it, because that's I mean, you have
to go through more stuff to dothat.
See if you can take it off yourphone for 24 hours.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And not be jonesing after 30 minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
Or coming home from work orwhatever it is where you kind of
just you know, because back inthe day I feel like that space
that was filled was eitherpeople went and did stuff with
other people, maybe theydefinitely read more books,
because they always talk abouthow now people don't read books.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
We had newspapers or you'd pop on the TV.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Couch potato, you know, but there wasn't 5,000
channels and this many streamingthings and you know there was
no like binging Everything.
Yeah, like now.
It's just like do you want towatch three seasons of TV in a
day?
Do you want to order food andhave it just pop on your porch?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You know, like man, I wish we could get McDonald's,
but we didn't have to go get it.
Okay, yeah, what do you want?
It's everything and nobody.
Yeah, you know, like man, Iwish we could get McDonald's,
but we didn't have to go get it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, yeah, like, what do you want it's?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
it's everything and nobody's healthier for it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
No, Well, the, and I knew I got not roped in but got
too into it Because, like Idon't know, we turn on a
basketball game.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
All four of us are in there, the basketball game's on
and then, like you know,there's commercial.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's the thing People don't even watch
commercials now.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
They have no patience , but the kicker is like oh,
it's a commercial, I'll just geton my phone.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So four people are on their phones, game's on, but
then the game comes back on.
Yeah, but you're on your phone.
You're already scrolling.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Notice that too, yeah .
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You'd be like it'll be March, Madness.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, can you sit and wait and you'll look around,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And people are like do you see that?
Oh man, he made it.
And like, oh, you don't even.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
No, yeah, you don't care as much.
And then also, like I've donethis with certain sporting event
competitions, did you see thegame?
No, but I'll watch thehighlights.
Yeah, I mean some of thatstarted with ESPN.
But like you can pretty muchscroll through on an ESPN app or
(07:33):
even via Facebook and see allthe oh, that was the crazy play.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's like the live version of almost anything
anymore is not as big of a deal,makes me feel a little bad.
You know what I mean like wellused to.
Everybody talked about itbecause yeah, it was a water
cooler conversation.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
That's what was on now everybody's go to a water
cooler, somebody's on theirphone they ain't gonna talk to
you um they don't need onebecause they got the Stanley Cup
, but anyway.
Yeah, which I thought of itthis way too.
It's like I don't need to knowwhat everyone thinks of
everything I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No, you don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I don't want to know what.
Like if I went to Home Depot Iwouldn't just walk up to
somebody and be like, hey, whatdo you think about the political
situation in the world today?
I don't want to know, I donpolitical situation in the world
today.
I don't want to know, I don'teven know that person?
No, but yet I'll get onfacebook or instagram and be
like what no?
And then I'll click onsomething I get mad about.
I don't know who posted it it'sjust some random thing.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh, I know and then you're angry about it like your
blood's boiling, your bloodpressure's rising, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And it's weird too, because, like you know, you used
to go to a waiting room.
I'm not saying I miss magazines, but they had magazines.
But if you go to the waitingroom now, everybody's just on
their phone.
Kids don't even.
We went to the dentist.
Dentist, two T's in there, butwe don't say it like that, we
say dentist.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Kids weren't even looking at the fish tank.
It's like a giant fish tank.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I know and you know, they pay a lot of money for the
fish and the people come cleanit.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, just get rid of that fish tank.
Put a charging station rightthere for phones.
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Or iPads Kids on iPads Used to little kids would
be like look Nemo or Dory.
Now they're just like uh, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I don't, it's not good.
Yeah, I won't say enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I hated it.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Like it always made me I'm not going to say straight
up depressed.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, yeah, a little bit.
Yeah, it is depressing.
Well, all the like, all thecounselors and therapists and
stuff say oh, the research, thedata, it's horrible for you,
it's horrible, it's definitelyhorrible for kids no-transcript.
(10:03):
Um, I am Ruth.
I've only seen stuff about itbut, probably on Facebook, Kate
Winslet.
So she plays a mother and heractual real daughter in real
life plays the daughter andshe's addicted to the social
media stuff and so she.
(10:24):
I'm not, there's no spoilers,but basically she takes her
phone to try to get her to, youknow, get healthy and stuff, and
it is, you know, and I don'tknow if people have seen this
and this is super like sad andserious, but like there's a
video that was circling on theinternet and probably social
media for a while, where there'ssomebody on a plane with their
(10:46):
teenage daughter and it's just.
I don't know if she just hadenough or what, but the mom said
nope, give me your phone.
I don't know if it was aconsequence or what lost it and
the daughter loses it.
Like you know, she's in detox orsomething day one oh, yeah, I
mean is screaming and you wantto go.
This is not.
(11:07):
Not only is it not healthy foryoung people, but like I don't
know, you know?
I mean there's and there'stalks about like do we allow
social media only at a certainage?
And then there's certainschools who are like nope.
I think hand in the phones atthe beginning of the day and
they interviewed some highschoolers about it and they give
them back at the end of the dayand they were like it was
(11:30):
actually like a huge weightlifted.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Right, because you're not.
You don't feel.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
They don't want to check their phone and like now,
like people have like thephantom vibrating, Like was it
my phone vibrating in my pocket?
Well, they don't have theirphone in their pocket.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Like it's.
It's so subconscious.
Well, they don't have theirphone in their pocket.
Yeah, Like it's so subconscious.
I don't know it.
Just I do want to watch thatmovie.
I'm sure it'll be a hard watch.
What's it called?
Again, I think it's called.
I Am Ruth.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, it's also, I feel like the age thing is a cop
out.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, it's not good for anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You watch people in Washington or whatever, and of
those people are on their phone24 7.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah like, oh well it's.
It's really addictive forchildren as they scroll.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm like you're addicted more than the kid is I
know yeah but I mean, I gettheir brains developmental stage
.
Yeah sure, like I don't knowit's a way to pass the buck, to
be like it's not my problem, I'mjust I'm looking out for the
kids, because this can be veryaddictive.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We don't want them addicted, right?
Yeah, well, I mean, and it's, Imean it's like the dumbing down
of society.
I mean, you know, I'm, I'm, I'mguilty, but I'm also calling
myself on it because I'm not ahuge reader.
But I used to read, yeah, likeI'd read at night, even if it
was a few pages, until I getsleepy, like I love a good book,
and there was some data about,like, how many books people read
(12:55):
anymore, or you know whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
We don't have time to read?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, we don't, because I'm on my phone and if I'm
going to watch the news, well, Idon't like to watch it because
it's a it's depressing as heck.
B I do kind of want to know.
I do kind of want to knowwhat's going on, because I don't
want to have my head stuck inthe sand like I probably should
know.
But I just hit the top fivethings on blankcom, whatever my
(13:23):
news app is or whatever yeah,and do and do I read the whole
article?
Do you know how many times I'vetold my kid Well, I didn't read
the whole article, but I sawwhere.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Because my nobody has an attention span, and I do
that.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I would feel bad, or like I'd see a basketball video
or something funny.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'd be like, hey, y'all see this and I would show
it to him, and then I'd pull myphone away.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It kind of feels that like, oh no, that's daddy's
drink.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Exactly, it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's like what are y'all drinking?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Like oh well, this is for adults.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It's the same way with the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It is, we show it to them like oh see, how cool that
is yeah, that's mine, but I sawit on social media and you can't
have it yeah, yeah, exactlyit's twisted, it's real twisted
and it's I was trying to figureout how much time I spent on
such, because I wake up early.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
So especially on like a saturday, I wake up like five
, five or probably 5.30, 5.30 or6 and, like our boys, will
sleep until like 9 10 whatever.
Robin gets up.
I don't know she would get up8ish or whatever, but I'm just
sitting in there a cup of coffee.
I'm like you know, the TV's onturn on some show right but then
(14:41):
the next thing you know likesomebody's coming downstairs.
It's 9 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And I'm still sitting there.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, I've been on my phone for three.
I'm like yeah.
If I poured half of that timeand like how to actually hit a
golf ball well, or yard work?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, whatever Anything.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Or like just anything productive.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And also I think I think you know when something's
bad.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Anytime you try to limit anything you know it's not
good for you.
Nobody's trying to tellthemselves, like you know what
I'm going to cut back on apples.
Right, you know, I'm going tocut down on eating.
No, yeah, exactly, everybodyknows it's trash because they're
like I need to get off my phone.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Exactly.
You don't eat six Oreos and gothat was great for me, or say
I'm going to pull back on thesocial media and then get back
on it for a little bit and thencome back and feel nothing, I
can't do that.
I mean, it's a little icky.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, can't do that.
I mean I've it's a little icky,yeah Well, and also like in the
not saying days were betterback then.
But they were um like eighties,nineties, oh yeah, like even
when you disagreed with somebodyright.
You didn't know everything.
They thought you.
You probably had a clue, Like Iprobably know where they land
on this, and that's why I don'ttalk about it with them.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But now how they feel about everything.
You read it, you see it, and Igot guilty of that at the end,
like I would start.
That's how I knew I got kind ofroped in Because I would get
mad about stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm like I'm going to post something.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, no-transcript.
(16:54):
Somebody out and saw a longtime, but you know everything
they've posted on instagram andfacebook and you don't agree
with it yeah, are you gonna?
Are you gonna greet them withthe same like?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
oh good to see you, yeah, yeah, it's tainted the
relationship.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Because you can't really still like.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I don't know, that's just in the back of your head.
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, it's not a good thing yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't miss it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, no, there's not enough puppy videos or people
scaring each other, but man doesmake me lose it.
But yeah, I could scare peoplein my house.
I could just start doing it andthen I could laugh.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Well, I mean just kidding, I won't I miss the.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I mean, has certain people we'd send memes, or silly
golf videos or stuff like thatwhich I told my buddy I was like
yeah, just print those memesand mail them to me.
Yeah, yeah, you got some stamps.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah, yeah, but I mean, we still got which they
also this came up.
I was like, oh, I'll get rid ofFacebook or Instagram.
And then I'm Googling can youkeep Facebook Messenger?
Oh right, you know, I'm like.
You know what?
No, I.
You know, I'm like you knowwhat.
No, I'm done with my phonenumbers.
This my emails, this you canwrite me or you can call and you
(18:09):
should text me because I don'tneed to my email.
But yeah, I guess there's thatand then like but you try to
justify it before you quit.
I feel like that way with anyhabit.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So I'm like trying to get off of it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm like, well, probably keep it, because you
know, hey, real quick stuff andyou know you kind of post
something every now and then I'mlike nope yeah, I can't do it
like.
Yeah, I'm like I'll just youknow word of mouth or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, like old-fashioned I'm done with.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
yeah, it's just yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And I mean since all that first came out, it's
totally different you know,because people talk about it on
the, the platform they talkabout how, like this is mostly
ads or just things that I agreewith, or reels or whatever.
And then a few people and like,even if you're using it for
(19:07):
business or just a hobby orsomething you do maybe you're an
artist I don't think you reachthe same amount of people.
No, now, I could be wrong.
I don't.
I've done all the analytics onit, but like it does not reach
the same amount of people.
Or hey, this family's and evenif it's really good things and
you're trying to get it outthere.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It's not the same animal.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, there's no way.
Well, like yeah, people willpost something like, hey, we're
trying to raise money for hisfamily, or whatever.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And then like one person will like it.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, like you're not , I don't know.
Something wonky going on thereyeah, it's basically qvc like.
That's what I feel like towardthe end.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I would just get on there and I'm like I'm just
watching infomercials yeah onwhat I should buy, and then
every now and then I'll get alittle news yeah and then, like
it would throw me for a loopwhen I saw somebody I knew like
post something.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I'm like oh, I know there's people on here, yeah
it's weird and you know how youwould see, or see the.
Hey, I reconfigured my settingsbecause I was only seeing yeah
kind of like a chain letter orsomething.
It was so like stock um text,like this person didn't write it
, they copied it.
But like, are you only seeingads and stuff?
(20:25):
Me too, I wasn't seeing any ofmy friends, but now and I'm like
what?
Is that I don't know it wasweird, it's just kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, sorry, mark, I do not trust you, but yeah, it
was just.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, it was a different algorithm.
But like I saw less personal,it's less personal, not
algorithm.
But like I saw less personal,it's less personal.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh yeah, there's not people, as many people that you
know, that you know your friendswith on Facebook, right, unless
you've unfollowed them orsnooze them or whatever.
Like you know you're friends,going to see something.
It's just.
I just don't.
I just think it's picking andchoosing for people or something
.
It's really weird.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well then you talk about something and then you get
on Facebook and there's an adfor it.
Like the first, I know they'relistening.
I'm not an idiot.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, which is just like now we're at the point.
That doesn't even bother us, wejust yeah, that is weird.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's a little weird.
Yeah, I know I know they'relistening to everything I say.
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, and here we are .
You know, it always makes methink of that movie, wall-e, the
Pixar movie.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Which a lot of people didn't like it.
They thought it was a snoozer.
But man back in the day we hadthat on repeat.
And like people repeat, andlike people are sitting around,
they drink stuff out of 64 ouncecups.
They drink their food.
I mean, what's up, sonic,what's up, whatever, what's up,
you know, who knows?
Have you heard of this newplace called swig by the way,
(21:57):
I'm derailing for a minute swigit's a place no, no, no, no, no,
hold on.
They do have cups, but it's aplace that just serves drinks
and I was like what is this?
It's like your nourishment no,it's just a drink place.
I don't understand it.
We need to look it up onlinewhile we're talking right here,
(22:17):
but not on facebook.
But so I've been trying to goto work the same route, and this
happened five, six weeks weeksago.
For two weeks, franklin Roadwas so backed up that I thought
there was a wreck.
And it was Swig Every other dayand somebody was like no, it's
this fancy place called Swig.
It's so dumb, it's overpriced.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Swig Soda Shop.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, they were like it's basically like Sonic drinks
, but bougie.
And people were in thedrive-thru line that they were
backing up all the way from,like you know where the Chewy's
is.
Sorry.
Yeah, Sorry guys, brentwood,this is a locale, that little
street that joins to Franklin.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Road.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
They were all up, wrapped up all around in there.
They should have had the policedirecting traffic.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Can I read about it?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, this is all Wrapped up all around in there.
They should have had the policedirecting traffic.
Can I read about it?
Yeah, this is all.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
First of all, when you pull up Instagram or
Facebook, Swig is going to beall over it.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's not the cups, by the way.
It features customizable dirtysodas, water-based refreshers
and reviver energy drinks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Or Sonic with extra money.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Anyway, anyway, it's a bougie sonic I know it's all
it is.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's all it is drinks , but why did I bring that?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
up, I don't know, but oh gosh, I feel like that's
what social media is, what justhappened yeah, we're talking.
Oh yeah, we're drinking ourstuff you're talking about
something and the next thing youknow yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You can't stay on topic.
No wonder we have attentionissues.
But anyway, that movie WALL-E.
Everybody's sitting becausethey're all overweight.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Right, right.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And they're all just drinking hey food in a cup.
Remember, like.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Scorny.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Weaver is the voice of it.
And then they have these littlescreens in front of them and
that's how they talk to eachother and they float around on
these little chairs and theynever look face to face.
And something happens, becausewally gets in the thing and yada
, yada and finds a plant, andthen little uh eva the little uh
screens go bad and a guy and agirl, kind of like, notice each
(24:23):
other and they're like whoa, canwe stand up?
I don't know, our muscles areso.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's where we're headed that's what, that's what
the earth is full of trash.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
They're off in a spaceship.
I mean, how close to realityare we getting with pixar?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
they knew something we didn't know that's what
happens in a waiting room whenyou, when you put your phone
down for a second and you makeeye contact with another person,
yeah, and they're like they hadput their phone down.
I will tell you what happens.
They get a little weirded out.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
And they're like uh.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
And they kind of go back to their phone, right, or
maybe they'll give you a nod orsomething.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, but yeah, or they might be the only other
person and the only other personand they kind of like you both
know we're the only people noton our phones looking down and
sometimes you'll talk to them,yeah, and you'll be like I'm at
the nicest person in the waitingroom.
What's up with that, you know?
Like we, yeah, no wonder wehave anxiety and don't want to
(25:21):
talk to people.
We don't ever practice it.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We, we're all socially awkward.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
And people are like call them, I'm not going to call
, I love calling people.
I love using the phone for whatit's for, yeah, but anyway, I'm
not saying you have to quitsocial media.
I'm just saying it's good foryour health.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I'll say this I would challenge anybody.
Speaker 2 (25:42):

Like I said, do it one day.
Yeah, just take it off yourphone go one day, and if you and
see how addicted you are yeahbecause I was the same way yeah
that's why I knew, becausethat's why I deleted it, because
I'd taken my app off the phonebefore.
I'd taken it off the ipadbefore, but I would just go the
next step.
I'd just be like there weredays I would sit and I would be
(26:05):
in the car line and I didn'thave the app on my phone and I'd
be like I'm just going to addit back.
And I would add it back becauseI'm bored in the car line, right
.
I'm like well, I mean, there'sno harm in looking at it now.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:19):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
