Ever reconnected with a childhood friend on social media only to end up arguing with a stranger moments later? Join us for a humorous exploration into the peculiar realm of online friendships, where we take a light-hearted jab at those envy-inducing vacation photos and the curated perfection plastered across our feeds. We grapple with the irony of feeling more disconnected in this age of digital connection, questioning whether these virtual interactions truly bridge the gap or become a barrier in our relationships. From rekindling old connections to engaging in pointless online squabbles, we ponder the authenticity of the connections we make in the digital world.
As we grow older and life gets busier, our social circles inevitably shrink, but does that mean our friendships suffer too? We question the legitimacy of calling someone a "friend" when the interaction is limited to an occasional like or comment on Facebook. What happens when these connections fade without meaningful interaction? We suggest a three-year mark as a potential cutoff for these virtual ties and reflect on how only a few online friends remain genuinely relevant. Join us as we humorously dissect the complexities of maintaining friendships online and urge a reassessment of who we consider true friends in this ever-evolving digital landscape.

Your dentist's vacation pics.
And think that your life is wayworse than theirs because they

Yeah, you can.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's the worst part of life.
Social media.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
It's probably.
I think there's good and bad.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's the judgment of all judgment.
Forget god, forget heaven,forget hell, forget all that.
This is the judgment who's the?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
the people that are on social media are the judgment
.
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
yourself okay my life isn't great because my dentist

dentist on social media?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
it's a joke.
It's a joke, all right, let'sjust go with my butcher, my
butcher is vacation fix to themiddle of pennsylvania where
he's cutting a box oh, geez,yeah, but you can make a whole
life up.
You can pretend to have thelife that you want on social
media.
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
that's what it's all about, yeah which basically uh,
I don't even know the word it reit makes a reaction in someone
else about how their life isn'tas good because they're looking
at your best moments.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Which is true.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
They're not looking at your worst moments.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, you don't share those you don't share those, god
forbid.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh, so you put up with this fake ass life on
social media, which means yousuck.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I know people that post vacation pictures all the
time.
They appear to be traveling allthe time and they are.
They are traveling to all theseplaces, but apparently they're
traveling in large groups.
You never see anybody else.
It makes it seem like it's justthem on these exquisite
vacations.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, today we're diving into the good, the bad
and the absolutely ridiculous ofsocial media and the
connections that we have with it.
I mean, we're going to end uproasting ourselves here too,
because I'm an idiot for doingit and I fall into it.
I fall into it all the time.
I mean I'm stupid, like why amI so concerned with?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
what other people are doing.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's true, my life is better than theirs is Quite
possibly.
I don't need social media toconfirm nor deny that.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But is that really why you think you're on there
doing that?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, why else would, would I be?
What's the other reason forsocial media?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I just like to know what people are doing.
Sometimes I don't know.
Keep up with friends.
There's reasons for it to beable to see your friends, kids
and things like that.
You share pictures, family thatyou don't get to see all the
time listen it's a time tested.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
A true statement here you get you have fewer friends
when you get older the older youget, the fewer friends you have
yeah if they were really yourfriends, you'd see their kids.
All you all social media is foris being nosy probably yeah,
it's like, oh my god, this kiddid it.
I saw on on facebook, I saw onon twitter, I saw on uh tinder,
(03:41):
whatever it is on tinder.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know social media.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'm not a big social media guy.
I think that's where you I'mnot a big social media guy.
I think that's where you hookup with people, whatever.
Yeah, go on.
Tinder.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Isn't that a song?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Anyway.
But if you were really friendswith these people, you'd know
they're kids.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I get it.
I guess I mean if they're notaround, like people live across
the country or I have a cousinthat lives in Alaska, or that
kind of thing you do realizethat they could send you like
emails I know videos in them, sohere's what my kids are doing.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Here's what we're doing.
And yet little bianca here hashad a hard time with math, but
she's doing well instead of likeoh, here we are at disneyland
with goofy what the fuck I'll behonest.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I think really, I just find myself watching reels
of people that I don't know atthis point in time.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
How good does it make you feel when you reunite with
somebody that you haven't seenin a long time via anything?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, yeah, that would be great.
I don't think that happens veryfrequently at this point.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
How in touch do you stay with them once that has
been done?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I guess that depends on the person.
Do you have that happen a lot?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I have it happen a lot and I feel stupid for doing
it, Because then, all of asudden, all I hear is oh, I'm
friends with this person onFacebook.
Friends with this person onFacebook.
You're friends with this personon Instagram.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Right, so you're not actually friends with the person
.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You're not actually, if you have to add social media,
the phone, if you don't have adorsal fin, then you're not
really friends with them.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That is said a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Do you know him?
Does he call you at home?
Do you have a dorsal fin?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh boy, it is, it's like oh yeah, I'm friends with
him on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I see everything.
No, you don't.
You see only the stuff theywant, they choose to put on said
social media platform.
Right that they let you see soyou're not friends with this
person, you just.
They just accepted your friendrequest, which is funny that
they call it a friend request,because if you're really friends
with them, you wouldn't need torequest it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well understood, but you can't just add everybody.
I guess that gives the sensethat at least your friend has to
approve that they're actuallyyour friend in the word, I guess
.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
There are people on Facebook and all those social
media websites that I'm notreally friends with, of course
not.
I've known them, I've saidhello to them and passed them by
, whatever.
And then here I am, because Isaid hi to you one time.
A friend requests you and youremembered who I was and you
clicked OK and that's it.
Now we're friends, but we'renot friends.
You're not coming over my housefor Christmas.
(06:07):
No, you're not.
Like what's the point?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You don't even talk to them really, you just see
what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And time tested ages ago.
You grow farther apart frompeople.
As you get older, your circlesget smaller.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, life gets busy.
It's hard to keep up with a lotof people.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
That's correct.
So why are these peopleconsidered friends?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't know that answer.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And if you ran into said people, what would your
conversation go like?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I usually avoid a lot of people.
What the fuck is this.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What in God's name is this crap?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I think I'm friends with them on Facebook, but I
don't really want to go talk tothat person.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
If you don't talk to somebody for at least three
years, it's like trash.
And I don't mean that they'retrash, I mean it's like stuff
that you haven't used in threeyears.
Throw it away, you're not goingto use it.
Yeah, do you know what I mean.
Yeah, if you've talked to himwithin the last year, keep going
, man.
Keep going, because a year is along time to go without
speaking to somebody, but it'snot the end of the world.
(07:04):
Two years is starting to pushit.
Three years is like alright,you're probably never going to
talk to this person again.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I'd probably talk to 10% of the people on my
friends list If that, if that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
If that, give me a funny story, if you have one.
You or somebody did this to you.
They personally messaged youand you ended up going out.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I mean a funny story about that.
Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, let's get it really down and dirty and go
with a really hurtful one.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's not necessarily funny, I guess.
I don't know.
I can't think of anybody that Inecessarily talk to and then
meet up with, do I?
I don't know that I've reallydone that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I have not either.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I have a long time ago, but I've already gone over
that story.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
No, I have a long time ago, but I've already gone
over that story.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Right, it's not going to do it again.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
But yeah, I don't think that I really everybody
that messages me again nowmessenger and stuff like that.
They're used just to send reelsof people again that I don't
know but everybody laughs at.
That's basically life now.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It is stupid but entertaining at the same time.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, I agree, so anyway.
So why do we know otherpeople's daily habits almost
better than we know ours?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I don't know I never understood that why people would
post oh, this is what I had forlunch today, or?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
why so many people just enthralled with other
people's food habits?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's very odd, right.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, and I think it's an American thing.
I don't even think it's a realworldly thing.
I think this is strictlyAmerica that deals with food.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Really.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, there's a lot of people that say, oh, this is
what I eat in a day, and it'susually a famous person or
somebody that's lost a lot ofweight or something.
Maybe that's why people want tolook for that stuff.
But I don't know, I don't carewhat you ate today, I don't need
to know I think it's stupidyeah, I I hate looking at food
on on any kind of social mediaplatform.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
In fact, not only do I hate social media and seeing
what other people do, I want tobe the person that puts it out
there so people have to look atit.
I'd rather be like a creator,seriously, I'd rather put it out
there and have people like, ohmy God, this is what he does.
This is what he does.
No, I don't.
I sit here, sleep all day,watch Seinfeld.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Seinfeld.
Yeah, that's it.
You do use social media.
I don't know why you say youhate it.
You use Facebook and stuff,whether you're posting or doing
whatever on it.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What do I use it for?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
As a habit when you open your phone and look at it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
What am I posting?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You post stuff for the podcast, but that's not what
I meant.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That's all I use it for.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You don't look at anything else.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
There's nothing else to look at.
I don't have any friends.
I'm looking for friends and Iwould love you all to like and
subscribe and find the hostDitto on Instagram and the
variants of on Facebook and orTikTok.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Good plug right there .
That's good timing on that one.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Hey, I do my best.
I'm learning.
I just took a course on how tobe a better content creator.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Did you really?
Yeah, still working on it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's helping I guess huh.
I'm going to be the best oneever.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The best one ever.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Mark my words.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
All right.
Watch out Joe Rogan I don'tthink is he considered a content
creator?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, he's got a great show he does he's?
Got a great show.
So, yeah, he's a contentcreator, I would assume.
Look, I'm still new at this.
I don't even know what acontent creator is.
So, you're taking this wholecourse but you don't actually
know what it is, and withDarren's help, we'll get that
content creation?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
At what point in the content creator course are you
About halfway through?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Level two.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Out of how many levels.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Probably 76.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh boy, You're not sure.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
No, but what I have learned so far is that by myself
I've learned a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You have.
I think that's easy to see.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
We are not like the world's greatest podcast by any
means.
We're not even like the world'sgreatest podcast by any means.
We're not even like a world'sgood podcast by any means.
But from starting from nothing,like we said, we've actually
come a long way.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And you've learned a lot.
We've learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yep, we have.
We just keep working at it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hey, we keep fooling around like this.
We might get there someday.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know what I mean.
We might get there somedayMight hit level 74, 75 before
we're done for.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Hey, how many times have you ever had to add
somebody on your?
Let's just go LinkedIn, becauseit's the easiest one to
exemplify, okay.
You add somebody requests you.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And you say, yeah, I don't know this person, but it
might build my overall I don'tknow resume.

Yeah, I don't know overall, Idon't know resume, right, what
have you?
Yeah, I don't know People.
Speaker 2 (11:33):

like a multi-level marketingthing, oh yeah.
Or like all of a sudden justboom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
and all they wanted was to sendyou shit.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Pretty much and you can't send stuff unless you
approve it.
So those few stupid people,hell, I'll just approve.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yep and the random person from high school who
comments on everything.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know that guy yeah, there's a few of those.
He's like, oh God this guyagain.
I have one person from highschool that I'm not even sure
that I really know, but therewas a period of time that I
would decline the friend requestand, like a few days later it
would be back Then I woulddecline it again and then it
(12:19):
would come back.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You know what I do.
I wonder if they rememberedthey had friended me or what
they thought was happening.
I fall into fights, argumentson facebook and stuff.
Oh yeah, all the time I'm sostupid, I fall into it.
It's like come on dead.
Oh, you should know this and Ifall into it, okay and I start
arguing with the people oh,you're one of those and I'm like
, well, yeah, well, I can't stopmyself.
And it's like why can't I?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
this person's an idiot and you don't know them
and I don't know them notnecessarily, but and now I'm as
bad as they are.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I can't even realize that I know better than this,
yet I still do it people do that.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't, I don't understand, I'm one of those
awesome, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Why you don't?
What do you I don't argue with?
So you're one of those Awesome,that's cool.
Why you don't?
I don't?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
argue with people.
No.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
What's your silly habit on social media?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I really don't do a ton on social media.
I post pictures of my kids,Fundraisers, randomness.
Other than that I don't post alot of stuff.
I don't comment on a ton.
I'll like things here and there, but nothing crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You're one of those that sends all those reels.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
A few and not To other people.
A few, and to only certainpeople.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
And even though they don't watch them.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Certain people should watch the ones they receive,
because they're usually onesthey would like.
So just saying.
And I don't send 100 a day.
I send one here, one thereEvery hour.
Not true at all, and you knowthat I send one here one, there,
every hour.
Not true at all, and you knowthat.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
A day.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, not at all.
I work.
I don't have time to do thatall day.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well then, how the hell do you build real
connections in the digital world?
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Is it a thing to actually have to build a
connection digitally?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I think that's the way it's going to be honest.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't think there's any other way.
What are you gonna do?
You're gonna go out and join abowling league.
Well, I'm not.
I don't have my own shoes I do.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That was, that was a knock on me.
I do have my own shoes, but whycouldn't you still do those
things?
I guess I, because they're notoptions anymore.
I mean they are, but nobodythinks about that.
Nobody thinks analog anymore.
It's all digital.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean, I still go out and have drinks and meet
people and things like that, sowhy would that ever go away?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I don't know, I don't really look to make friends
online.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
How often do you go out for drinks and where do you
go and who do you go with?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Usually existing friends.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Do you ever go out with anybody you know on social
media?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, yeah, they're my friends, but they're on
social media and in real lifesocial media.
And in real life?
No, not really.
I've never met somebody onsocial media.
It's dating sites at one periodof time.
It's not dating.
That's different.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Somebody hadn't seen in a long time, Somebody you've
known it wasn't a date, but youhaven't seen them in a long time
and they're like, hey, how haveyou been?
Haven't seen you in so long.
Let's get together for drinks.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, that's happened like one time ever maybe yeah,
so you don't do it?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
no, have you ever met anybody new without being on a
dating, an actual dating sitethrough social media?
And actually met them andtalked with them yeah where
they're just like hey, you looknice blah blah.
No, you haven't.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
No, well, I don't know, I haven't done that no
I've never done that I would beweirded out by that that's what
most people are yeah, I wouldn'twant to.
So that's the thing I.
It just seems weird to me to doit that way Did you ever meet
anybody on social media.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
That turned into a real friendship.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
No, I don't think so.
Have you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I have not.
I have not met anybody.
Everybody I've ever met thatturned into a real friendship
has been in person and throughsome form of activity.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And other than that, no Social media, no.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I can't think of anybody like that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I'm personally not on any dating sites.
I'm not doing anything, I don'tlook for people.
It's not me, I don't knowOnline.
It's just it's like I don'tknow about online.
It's just weird.
There's a weird vibe to it.
I'm sure everybody behind it islike very nice, very pleasant.
Not everybody pleasant but noteverybody is like if you don't
(15:56):
see somebody in the flesh likeum yeah, you're basically
one-dimensional to me, right?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I don't care what your avatar looks like.
Yeah, go ahead and fix themfilters to make you look better
maybe that's how like our kidswill be, maybe that's how it'll
be more in the future, but rightnow I don't see that being a
huge way for most people to makefriends.
But but again, I'm not outtrying to make friends either.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
So I don't know, maybe let's touch on that right
now because it seems likeeverything, as far as our kids
are concerned, is going in thesocial way, in the, in the uh
right digital way, I should say.
Like they don't.
They sit on the phone and talkabout each other.
It would be like it would belike a friday night at your
friend's house gossiping witheach other about the other
(16:36):
people, except they're allseparate and in a chat and
talking about it.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Even when they're all together, they're still on
their phones.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Which is even worse.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
They all just do things on their phones.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's odd, so how do you go about this?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I don't know.
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't know either.
So it's like is social mediaconnecting us, or are we just
endlessly scrolling past eachother?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't know that it's connecting people.
I mean I just Maybe some people.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
But I don't know.
You know what the worst part is.
I'm not even entertained doingit.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I kind of realize that sometimes I'll be sitting
there scrolling and I think, whyam I even doing this?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's just something to do.
It's what I've been reluctantlytaught to do.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Why reluctantly?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Because, for whatever reason, I have to pick up my
phone, I have to turn it on, Ihave to hit Facebook, but nobody
taught you to hit Facebook, butnobody taught you to do that,
you chose to do that, youstarted doing that.
No, I was taught who taught youthat I had to have been taught,
because I wouldn't have done itmyself, I wouldn't have known
how to do it myself.
Unless I was taught how to doit, and for whatever reason,
(17:46):
facebook was the biggest thingat the time.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
First of all, it was MySpace.
It was, oh, myspace.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Second of all, it became Facebook because MySpace
became weird, for whateverreason.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Do you know why?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Tom got creepy.
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Tom was creepy from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, his stupid face right.
Yeah, he looked like Matt Damonwriting on a blackboard at
Harvard in Good Will Hunting.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh Tom.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But, and then since then, it's just been one after
another, and, yeah, we have beentaught that.
This is where you know yougotta go here, everybody's here,
you gotta do this, you gotta dothat, and you know what the
answer is fuck that, oh reallywhat's it?
What is it getting me?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
nothing, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
No, just waste time it wastes my time and it gives
me shit that I don't need toknow about.
Yeah, so it's a useless,useless product that is making
billions and billions of dollarsso much money and we allow it
to do that and I'm like this isjust bullshit yeah so I'm like
fuck this nonsense.
Like I am only on social medianow to promote this podcast true
(18:49):
that's it and I don't.
It's like my name's not even upthere.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I don't have any pictures of myself, really,
except for the videos I havethat promote the show right and
it's like there's no point soyou're not mistakenly liking
people's stuff at two in themorning no, not, it was not
anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I did that a couple times, I did, and it's sometimes
I don't even know because Idon't know about, but my phone
pops on by itself.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And I'll open it up.
I'll pull it out of my pocketand the screen is enlarged.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Enlarged.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, so you can't even really read it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Really.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, I don't know how it happens.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
That's weird.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And it happens all the time and I have to shut it
off for a shutdown and I turn itback on and it goes back to
normal.
And I notice I've likedpeople's stuff or I've written
messages where it's ADFJ hashtag, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, like what the fuck isthis?
I'm not even doing this.
Or the thumbs up goes up topeople.
(19:46):
I didn't thumbs up you.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I don't even want to.
I don't even like you.
Why didn't thumbs up you?
Thumbs upping everybody.
I don't even want to.
I didn't even like you.
Why would I thumbs up super?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
cool, and that's me.
That's where I get to.
Yeah, anyway, we are at the endand, uh, we gotta get more
inclined to what's actuallygoing on, because social media
is a fucking hazard in life.
Social media, it's good to havethe ability to connect with
people.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And the phone is a good thing because you can
connect with friends from allover the world now.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Where you couldn't do that earlier.
But I don't need to see yourpictures of food.
I don't need to see anything.
If I really want to know, Iwill literally call you and ask
you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I don't need to know if you went to the gym
today.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I don't need to see a picture of your sweet ass butt
because you've been working outand still flabbing stupid like
mine.
Or your selfie from the top oftown where your huge boobs are
hanging out.
It's like, oh, look at my boobs.
Oh, my God, he sent me such arude DM like nice boobs.
It's like you just showed yourboobs and now you're upset that
(20:50):
somebody said nice boobs.
It's like you just showed yourboobs and now you're upset that
somebody said nice boobs.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah that's what happens.
You're not supposed to commenton it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Then don't do that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I mean, I know, you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
People do.
People put a shot of theirboobs up there and somebody says
something about them.
They're like, oh my God now.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It's for attention.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
That's all it's posted for a bunch of hookers.
That's all it is.
Anyway, we're at the end.
All right, boys and girls,thanks for listening.

Socky Doobie.
(22:44):
Holy cow.
I just watched a reel where theinventor, creator of Hello
Kitty, said that it's a littlegirl.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
She's not a cat.
She's not a cat?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
She's not a cat.
What the hell is she?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
They say that she's not a cat and she's a little
girl.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
She's a weird looking , casper.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
She's got ears and whiskers.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I think it's one dimensional.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I think that she has a tail.
She has a pet cat and a pet catthat looks just like her.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Her and her twin sister.
What is it, Mimi?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I don't remember, but her whole family is cats.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Isn't that what you call?
One of those things on theinternet, a Mimi?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I don't know A meme.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
A meme, A meme.
I am so lost with all thistechnological stuff I don't know
what the hell is going onanymore.
All I'm saying is are youserious with that?
You want to call that thing agirl?
She measures three apples.
Listen, I understand it's afemale.
Don't get me started with thethree apples.
You don't even know where thatstarted.
I didn't know where it started.
(23:42):
You don't know where it started.
She ripped it off.
I'm a little aggravated withHello Kitty Creator.
I don't even know her name.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I don't know her name .
Speaker 2 (23:48):
In case you hadn't noticed, we took a quick break
there to find out her name.
Her name is what Jill Crotch.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So she's the senior vice president of the company,
and it's Jill Cotch.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Jill Crotch.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But it's yeah, I mean it's a Japanese company, Sanrio
or Sanrio.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Either way, they ripped off the Smurfs Three
apples high and on every weekday.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I guess I never heard that.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
By the way, she says they weigh three apples.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And they're five apples high.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
What else is five apples high?
That dude was right A cat, agoddamn cat, a goddamn cat.
You can't put whiskers on alittle girl and not say it's a
cat.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
This gender confusion is going out of control and
it's time to stop it.
You can't identify as a cat ifyou're biologically not a cat.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Anyway, I don't have any problem with pronouns and
all that stuff.
I just want to be referred toas pronoun from now on.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I know that's your new thing.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Just refer to me as pronoun, that way you can't get
it wrong.
Hey, pronoun did this, pronoundid that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, that's going to go well for you.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I literally tried to apply for something and it asked
me for the Pronoun and I wrotePronoun.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Did you really?
Hey, everybody, welcome to.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Saki Tumi, saki Tumi.
Hey everybody, welcome to SakiTumi, a podcast that connects
people to people.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Socky Toomey.
Hey everybody, welcome to SockyToomey, a podcast that connects
people to people, Sometimesexplains why those connections
are so uncomfortable.
We're back here, it's Ditto.
I'm with Casey.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Hi everyone.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And we're here to talk about social media Connect
or disconnect Laughing throughthe legs.
So how do you meet people?
I don't know that I really meetpeople through social media.
I mean, how do you meet people?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I don't know that I really meet people through
social media.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I mean how do you meet people anymore?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh yeah, I guess a lot of people actually do it
through the social media thing,but you never know who you're
meeting though.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The magical place where you can connect with
childhood friends.
Is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Is that what social media is the magical place to?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
connect with childhood friends.
You can also absolutely arguewith strangers.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You can.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Or you can follow your dentist's vacation pics.
Your dentist's vacation pics.
And think that your life is wayworse than theirs because they
have nice pics and you don't.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's the worst part of life.
Social media.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
It's probably.
I think there's good and bad.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's the judgment of all judgment.
Forget god, forget heaven,forget hell, forget all that.
This is the judgment who's the?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
the people that are on social media are the judgment
.
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
yourself okay my life isn't great because my dentist
has better vacation pics yeah,do you actually follow your
dentist on social media?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
it's a joke.
It's a joke, all right, let'sjust go with my butcher, my
butcher is vacation fix to themiddle of pennsylvania where
he's cutting a box oh, geez,yeah, but you can make a whole
life up.
You can pretend to have thelife that you want on social
media.
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
that's what it's all about, yeah which basically uh,
I don't even know the word it reit makes a reaction in someone
else about how their life isn'tas good because they're looking
at your best moments.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Which is true.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
They're not looking at your worst moments.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, you don't share those you don't share those, god
forbid.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh, so you put up with this fake ass life on
social media, which means yousuck.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I know people that post vacation pictures all the
time.
They appear to be traveling allthe time and they are.
They are traveling to all theseplaces, but apparently they're
traveling in large groups.
You never see anybody else.
It makes it seem like it's justthem on these exquisite
vacations.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, today we're diving into the good, the bad
and the absolutely ridiculous ofsocial media and the
connections that we have with it.
I mean, we're going to end uproasting ourselves here too,
because I'm an idiot for doingit and I fall into it.
I fall into it all the time.
I mean I'm stupid, like why amI so concerned with?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
what other people are doing.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's true, my life is better than theirs is Quite
possibly.
I don't need social media toconfirm nor deny that.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But is that really why you think you're on there
doing that?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, why else would, would I be?
What's the other reason forsocial media?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I just like to know what people are doing.
Sometimes I don't know.
Keep up with friends.
There's reasons for it to beable to see your friends, kids
and things like that.
You share pictures, family thatyou don't get to see all the
time listen it's a time tested.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
A true statement here you get you have fewer friends
when you get older the older youget, the fewer friends you have
yeah if they were really yourfriends, you'd see their kids.
All you all social media is foris being nosy probably yeah,
it's like, oh my god, this kiddid it.
I saw on on facebook, I saw onon twitter, I saw on uh tinder,
(03:41):
whatever it is on tinder.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know social media.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'm not a big social media guy.
I think that's where you I'mnot a big social media guy.
I think that's where you hookup with people, whatever.
Yeah, go on.
Tinder.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Isn't that a song?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Anyway.
But if you were really friendswith these people, you'd know
they're kids.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I get it.
I guess I mean if they're notaround, like people live across
the country or I have a cousinthat lives in Alaska, or that
kind of thing you do realizethat they could send you like
emails I know videos in them, sohere's what my kids are doing.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Here's what we're doing.
And yet little bianca here hashad a hard time with math, but
she's doing well instead of likeoh, here we are at disneyland
with goofy what the fuck I'll behonest.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I think really, I just find myself watching reels
of people that I don't know atthis point in time.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
How good does it make you feel when you reunite with
somebody that you haven't seenin a long time via anything?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, yeah, that would be great.
I don't think that happens veryfrequently at this point.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
How in touch do you stay with them once that has
been done?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I guess that depends on the person.
Do you have that happen a lot?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I have it happen a lot and I feel stupid for doing
it, Because then, all of asudden, all I hear is oh, I'm
friends with this person onFacebook.
Friends with this person onFacebook.
You're friends with this personon Instagram.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Right, so you're not actually friends with the person
.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You're not actually, if you have to add social media,
the phone, if you don't have adorsal fin, then you're not
really friends with them.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That is said a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Do you know him?
Does he call you at home?
Do you have a dorsal fin?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh boy, it is, it's like oh yeah, I'm friends with
him on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I see everything.
No, you don't.
You see only the stuff theywant, they choose to put on said
social media platform.
Right that they let you see soyou're not friends with this
person, you just.
They just accepted your friendrequest, which is funny that
they call it a friend request,because if you're really friends
with them, you wouldn't need torequest it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well understood, but you can't just add everybody.
I guess that gives the sensethat at least your friend has to
approve that they're actuallyyour friend in the word, I guess
.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
There are people on Facebook and all those social
media websites that I'm notreally friends with, of course
not.
I've known them, I've saidhello to them and passed them by
, whatever.
And then here I am, because Isaid hi to you one time.
A friend requests you and youremembered who I was and you
clicked OK and that's it.
Now we're friends, but we'renot friends.
You're not coming over my housefor Christmas.
(06:07):
No, you're not.
Like what's the point?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You don't even talk to them really, you just see
what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And time tested ages ago.
You grow farther apart frompeople.
As you get older, your circlesget smaller.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, life gets busy.
It's hard to keep up with a lotof people.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
That's correct.
So why are these peopleconsidered friends?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't know that answer.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And if you ran into said people, what would your
conversation go like?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I usually avoid a lot of people.
What the fuck is this.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What in God's name is this crap?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I think I'm friends with them on Facebook, but I
don't really want to go talk tothat person.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
If you don't talk to somebody for at least three
years, it's like trash.
And I don't mean that they'retrash, I mean it's like stuff
that you haven't used in threeyears.
Throw it away, you're not goingto use it.
Yeah, do you know what I mean.
Yeah, if you've talked to himwithin the last year, keep going
, man.
Keep going, because a year is along time to go without
speaking to somebody, but it'snot the end of the world.
(07:04):
Two years is starting to pushit.
Three years is like alright,you're probably never going to
talk to this person again.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I'd probably talk to 10% of the people on my
friends list If that, if that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
If that, give me a funny story, if you have one.
You or somebody did this to you.
They personally messaged youand you ended up going out.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I mean a funny story about that.
Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, let's get it really down and dirty and go
with a really hurtful one.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's not necessarily funny, I guess.
I don't know.
I can't think of anybody that Inecessarily talk to and then
meet up with, do I?
I don't know that I've reallydone that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I have not either.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I have a long time ago, but I've already gone over
that story.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
No, I have a long time ago, but I've already gone
over that story.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Right, it's not going to do it again.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
But yeah, I don't think that I really everybody
that messages me again nowmessenger and stuff like that.
They're used just to send reelsof people again that I don't
know but everybody laughs at.
That's basically life now.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It is stupid but entertaining at the same time.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, I agree, so anyway.
So why do we know otherpeople's daily habits almost
better than we know ours?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I don't know I never understood that why people would
post oh, this is what I had forlunch today, or?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
why so many people just enthralled with other
people's food habits?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's very odd, right.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, and I think it's an American thing.
I don't even think it's a realworldly thing.
I think this is strictlyAmerica that deals with food.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Really.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, there's a lot of people that say, oh, this is
what I eat in a day, and it'susually a famous person or
somebody that's lost a lot ofweight or something.
Maybe that's why people want tolook for that stuff.
But I don't know, I don't carewhat you ate today, I don't need
to know I think it's stupidyeah, I I hate looking at food
on on any kind of social mediaplatform.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
In fact, not only do I hate social media and seeing
what other people do, I want tobe the person that puts it out
there so people have to look atit.
I'd rather be like a creator,seriously, I'd rather put it out
there and have people like, ohmy God, this is what he does.
This is what he does.
No, I don't.
I sit here, sleep all day,watch Seinfeld.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Seinfeld.
Yeah, that's it.
You do use social media.
I don't know why you say youhate it.
You use Facebook and stuff,whether you're posting or doing
whatever on it.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What do I use it for?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
As a habit when you open your phone and look at it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
What am I posting?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You post stuff for the podcast, but that's not what
I meant.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That's all I use it for.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You don't look at anything else.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
There's nothing else to look at.
I don't have any friends.
I'm looking for friends and Iwould love you all to like and
subscribe and find the hostDitto on Instagram and the
variants of on Facebook and orTikTok.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Good plug right there .
That's good timing on that one.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Hey, I do my best.
I'm learning.
I just took a course on how tobe a better content creator.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Did you really?
Yeah, still working on it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's helping I guess huh.
I'm going to be the best oneever.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The best one ever.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Mark my words.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
All right.
Watch out Joe Rogan I don'tthink is he considered a content
creator?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, he's got a great show he does he's?
Got a great show.
So, yeah, he's a contentcreator, I would assume.
Look, I'm still new at this.
I don't even know what acontent creator is.
So, you're taking this wholecourse but you don't actually
know what it is, and withDarren's help, we'll get that
content creation?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
At what point in the content creator course are you
About halfway through?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Level two.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Out of how many levels.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Probably 76.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh boy, You're not sure.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
No, but what I have learned so far is that by myself
I've learned a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You have.
I think that's easy to see.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
We are not like the world's greatest podcast by any
means.
We're not even like the world'sgreatest podcast by any means.
We're not even like a world'sgood podcast by any means.
But from starting from nothing,like we said, we've actually
come a long way.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And you've learned a lot.
We've learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yep, we have.
We just keep working at it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hey, we keep fooling around like this.
We might get there someday.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know what I mean.
We might get there somedayMight hit level 74, 75 before
we're done for.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Hey, how many times have you ever had to add
somebody on your?
Let's just go LinkedIn, becauseit's the easiest one to
exemplify, okay.
You add somebody requests you.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And you say, yeah, I don't know this person, but it
might build my overall I don'tknow resume.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Right, what have you?
Yeah, I don't know overall, Idon't know resume, right, what
have you?
Yeah, I don't know People.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I know, yeah, anyway.
And then immediately you getsomething from them that pitches
like a multi-level marketingthing, oh yeah.
Or like all of a sudden justboom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
and all they wanted was to sendyou shit.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Pretty much and you can't send stuff unless you
approve it.
So those few stupid people,hell, I'll just approve.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yep and the random person from high school who
comments on everything.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know that guy yeah, there's a few of those.
He's like, oh God this guyagain.
I have one person from highschool that I'm not even sure
that I really know, but therewas a period of time that I
would decline the friend requestand, like a few days later it
would be back Then I woulddecline it again and then it
(12:19):
would come back.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You know what I do.
I wonder if they rememberedthey had friended me or what
they thought was happening.
I fall into fights, argumentson facebook and stuff.
Oh yeah, all the time I'm sostupid, I fall into it.
It's like come on dead.
Oh, you should know this and Ifall into it, okay and I start
arguing with the people oh,you're one of those and I'm like
, well, yeah, well, I can't stopmyself.
And it's like why can't I?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
this person's an idiot and you don't know them
and I don't know them notnecessarily, but and now I'm as
bad as they are.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I can't even realize that I know better than this,
yet I still do it people do that.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't, I don't understand, I'm one of those
awesome, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Why you don't?
What do you I don't argue with?
So you're one of those Awesome,that's cool.
Why you don't?
I don't?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
argue with people.
No.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
What's your silly habit on social media?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I really don't do a ton on social media.
I post pictures of my kids,Fundraisers, randomness.
Other than that I don't post alot of stuff.
I don't comment on a ton.
I'll like things here and there, but nothing crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You're one of those that sends all those reels.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
A few and not To other people.
A few, and to only certainpeople.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
And even though they don't watch them.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Certain people should watch the ones they receive,
because they're usually onesthey would like.
So just saying.
And I don't send 100 a day.
I send one here, one thereEvery hour.
Not true at all, and you knowthat I send one here one, there,
every hour.
Not true at all, and you knowthat.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
A day.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, not at all.
I work.
I don't have time to do thatall day.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well then, how the hell do you build real
connections in the digital world?
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Is it a thing to actually have to build a
connection digitally?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I think that's the way it's going to be honest.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't think there's any other way.
What are you gonna do?
You're gonna go out and join abowling league.
Well, I'm not.
I don't have my own shoes I do.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That was, that was a knock on me.
I do have my own shoes, but whycouldn't you still do those
things?
I guess I, because they're notoptions anymore.
I mean they are, but nobodythinks about that.
Nobody thinks analog anymore.
It's all digital.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean, I still go out and have drinks and meet
people and things like that, sowhy would that ever go away?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I don't know, I don't really look to make friends
online.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
How often do you go out for drinks and where do you
go and who do you go with?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Usually existing friends.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Do you ever go out with anybody you know on social
media?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, yeah, they're my friends, but they're on
social media and in real lifesocial media.
And in real life?
No, not really.
I've never met somebody onsocial media.
It's dating sites at one periodof time.
It's not dating.
That's different.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Somebody hadn't seen in a long time, Somebody you've
known it wasn't a date, but youhaven't seen them in a long time
and they're like, hey, how haveyou been?
Haven't seen you in so long.
Let's get together for drinks.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, that's happened like one time ever maybe yeah,
so you don't do it?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
no, have you ever met anybody new without being on a
dating, an actual dating sitethrough social media?
And actually met them andtalked with them yeah where
they're just like hey, you looknice blah blah.
No, you haven't.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
No, well, I don't know, I haven't done that no
I've never done that I would beweirded out by that that's what
most people are yeah, I wouldn'twant to.
So that's the thing I.
It just seems weird to me to doit that way Did you ever meet
anybody on social media.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
That turned into a real friendship.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
No, I don't think so.
Have you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I have not.
I have not met anybody.
Everybody I've ever met thatturned into a real friendship
has been in person and throughsome form of activity.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And other than that, no Social media, no.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I can't think of anybody like that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I'm personally not on any dating sites.
I'm not doing anything, I don'tlook for people.
It's not me, I don't knowOnline.
It's just it's like I don'tknow about online.
It's just weird.
There's a weird vibe to it.
I'm sure everybody behind it islike very nice, very pleasant.
Not everybody pleasant but noteverybody is like if you don't
(15:56):
see somebody in the flesh likeum yeah, you're basically
one-dimensional to me, right?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I don't care what your avatar looks like.
Yeah, go ahead and fix themfilters to make you look better
maybe that's how like our kidswill be, maybe that's how it'll
be more in the future, but rightnow I don't see that being a
huge way for most people to makefriends.
But but again, I'm not outtrying to make friends either.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
So I don't know, maybe let's touch on that right
now because it seems likeeverything, as far as our kids
are concerned, is going in thesocial way, in the, in the uh
right digital way, I should say.
Like they don't.
They sit on the phone and talkabout each other.
It would be like it would belike a friday night at your
friend's house gossiping witheach other about the other
(16:36):
people, except they're allseparate and in a chat and
talking about it.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Even when they're all together, they're still on
their phones.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Which is even worse.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
They all just do things on their phones.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's odd, so how do you go about this?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I don't know.
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't know either.
So it's like is social mediaconnecting us, or are we just
endlessly scrolling past eachother?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't know that it's connecting people.
I mean I just Maybe some people.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
But I don't know.
You know what the worst part is.
I'm not even entertained doingit.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I kind of realize that sometimes I'll be sitting
there scrolling and I think, whyam I even doing this?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's just something to do.
It's what I've been reluctantlytaught to do.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Why reluctantly?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Because, for whatever reason, I have to pick up my
phone, I have to turn it on, Ihave to hit Facebook, but nobody
taught you to hit Facebook, butnobody taught you to do that,
you chose to do that, youstarted doing that.
No, I was taught who taught youthat I had to have been taught,
because I wouldn't have done itmyself, I wouldn't have known
how to do it myself.
Unless I was taught how to doit, and for whatever reason,
(17:46):
facebook was the biggest thingat the time.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
First of all, it was MySpace.
It was, oh, myspace.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Second of all, it became Facebook because MySpace
became weird, for whateverreason.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Do you know why?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Tom got creepy.
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Tom was creepy from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, his stupid face right.
Yeah, he looked like Matt Damonwriting on a blackboard at
Harvard in Good Will Hunting.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh Tom.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But, and then since then, it's just been one after
another, and, yeah, we have beentaught that.
This is where you know yougotta go here, everybody's here,
you gotta do this, you gotta dothat, and you know what the
answer is fuck that, oh reallywhat's it?
What is it getting me?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
nothing, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
No, just waste time it wastes my time and it gives
me shit that I don't need toknow about.
Yeah, so it's a useless,useless product that is making
billions and billions of dollarsso much money and we allow it
to do that and I'm like this isjust bullshit yeah so I'm like
fuck this nonsense.
Like I am only on social medianow to promote this podcast true
(18:49):
that's it and I don't.
It's like my name's not even upthere.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I don't have any pictures of myself, really,
except for the videos I havethat promote the show right and
it's like there's no point soyou're not mistakenly liking
people's stuff at two in themorning no, not, it was not
anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I did that a couple times, I did, and it's sometimes
I don't even know because Idon't know about, but my phone
pops on by itself.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And I'll open it up.
I'll pull it out of my pocketand the screen is enlarged.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Enlarged.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, so you can't even really read it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Really.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, I don't know how it happens.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
That's weird.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And it happens all the time and I have to shut it
off for a shutdown and I turn itback on and it goes back to
normal.
And I notice I've likedpeople's stuff or I've written
messages where it's ADFJ hashtag, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, like what the fuck isthis?
I'm not even doing this.
Or the thumbs up goes up topeople.
(19:46):
I didn't thumbs up you.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I don't even want to.
I don't even like you.
Why didn't thumbs up you?
Thumbs upping everybody.
I don't even want to.
I didn't even like you.
Why would I thumbs up super?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
cool, and that's me.
That's where I get to.
Yeah, anyway, we are at the endand, uh, we gotta get more
inclined to what's actuallygoing on, because social media
is a fucking hazard in life.
Social media, it's good to havethe ability to connect with
people.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And the phone is a good thing because you can
connect with friends from allover the world now.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Where you couldn't do that earlier.
But I don't need to see yourpictures of food.
I don't need to see anything.
If I really want to know, Iwill literally call you and ask
you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I don't need to know if you went to the gym
today.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I don't need to see a picture of your sweet ass butt
because you've been working outand still flabbing stupid like
mine.
Or your selfie from the top oftown where your huge boobs are
hanging out.
It's like, oh, look at my boobs.
Oh, my God, he sent me such arude DM like nice boobs.
It's like you just showed yourboobs and now you're upset that
(20:50):
somebody said nice boobs.
It's like you just showed yourboobs and now you're upset that
somebody said nice boobs.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah that's what happens.
You're not supposed to commenton it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Then don't do that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I mean, I know, you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
People do.
People put a shot of theirboobs up there and somebody says
something about them.
They're like, oh my God now.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It's for attention.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
That's all it's posted for a bunch of hookers.
That's all it is.
Anyway, we're at the end.
All right, boys and girls,thanks for listening.

Socky Doobie.
(22:44):
Holy cow.
I just watched a reel where theinventor, creator of Hello
Kitty, said that it's a littlegirl.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
She's not a cat.
She's not a cat?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
She's not a cat.
What the hell is she?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
They say that she's not a cat and she's a little
girl.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
She's a weird looking , casper.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
She's got ears and whiskers.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I think it's one dimensional.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I think that she has a tail.
She has a pet cat and a pet catthat looks just like her.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Her and her twin sister.
What is it, Mimi?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I don't remember, but her whole family is cats.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Isn't that what you call?
One of those things on theinternet, a Mimi?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I don't know A meme.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
A meme, A meme.
I am so lost with all thistechnological stuff I don't know
what the hell is going onanymore.
All I'm saying is are youserious with that?
You want to call that thing agirl?
She measures three apples.
Listen, I understand it's afemale.
Don't get me started with thethree apples.
You don't even know where thatstarted.
I didn't know where it started.
(23:42):
You don't know where it started.
She ripped it off.
I'm a little aggravated withHello Kitty Creator.
I don't even know her name.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I don't know her name .
Speaker 2 (23:48):
In case you hadn't noticed, we took a quick break
there to find out her name.
Her name is what Jill Crotch.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So she's the senior vice president of the company,
and it's Jill Cotch.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Jill Crotch.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But it's yeah, I mean it's a Japanese company, Sanrio
or Sanrio.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Either way, they ripped off the Smurfs Three
apples high and on every weekday.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I guess I never heard that.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
By the way, she says they weigh three apples.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And they're five apples high.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
What else is five apples high?
That dude was right A cat, agoddamn cat, a goddamn cat.
You can't put whiskers on alittle girl and not say it's a
cat.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
This gender confusion is going out of control and
it's time to stop it.
You can't identify as a cat ifyou're biologically not a cat.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Anyway, I don't have any problem with pronouns and
all that stuff.
I just want to be referred toas pronoun from now on.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I know that's your new thing.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Just refer to me as pronoun, that way you can't get
it wrong.
Hey, pronoun did this, pronoundid that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, that's going to go well for you.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I literally tried to apply for something and it asked
me for the Pronoun and I wrotePronoun.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Did you really?
