Dive into a candid discussion exploring the complexities of social disconnection in our latest episode, where we unravel the emotional grip of FOMO—fear of missing out. As life moves increasingly online, we share insights into how this shift is reshaping authentic relationships while challenging what it really means to connect. Through witty anecdotes and reflective conversation, we delve into the struggle many face in balancing digital interactions with genuine human connection.
We consider how the rise of online dating and social media has transformed friendships and romance, often leading to misunderstandings about self-worth and identity. With the ease of swiping and texting, there’s a growing sense of social disconnect that impacts overall wellbeing. Our engaging dialogue extends to the essential role that face-to-face communication plays in establishing trust, empathy, and deeper understanding among individuals.
Generational differences in how we communicate also take center stage; we reflect on the nuances of social skills through the ages while emphasizing the need for authentic interactions in today’s technological world. We encourage listeners to reconsider how they approach relationships in the digital era, asking themselves important questions about their connection to others.
Join us for this thought-provoking episode that seeks to bridge the gap between technology and true companionship—discover fresh perspectives, share your own stories, and embrace what it means to connect in a meaningful way.

We're actually going to talk about disconnection,
social disconnection, all thatstuff.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Like kids and people and like how online dating has
become such a huge thing Insteadof like church singles night.
You know when you actually gotto see somebody in person and
then you couldn't get catfishedbecause they couldn't lie to you
right there actually it wasprobably better back then.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
At least you knew what you were putting yourself
into yeah, it's like windowshopping.
Yes, you know, I mean I agreeto 100, you're not going on a
date with some fat pig that'swhat I mean, that exactly what I
mean.
At least you saw them, you knewthey would look like was no, oh
my god, you have a picture ofthis really good looking guy and
his fat shit shows up.
Bye.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Absolutely.
And then how do you get out ofit?
You're stuck Exactly Becauseyou don't want to be rude.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Plus, you've wasted so much time texting back and
forth, thinking you have aconnection with them, and in
actuality they're like theugliest person ever and you're
like ooh, gotta go over with.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Let's get into this.
So, uh, hold on one second,we'll go.
Why does everybody seem so like?
Why they all feel like they'redisconnected?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I do not uh, you are actually on social media a lot
more than I am, so maybe that'swhy I it's.
That's not it.
Why do?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
you, then I don't feel disconnected to, but it's
not because of social media topeople, people in general, I'm
on social media only to promotethis show.
I get it, which I epically failat, so I should probably just
quit, but still, I'm not onsocial media looking for
interactions with people.
Okay, I go out and do something, oh yes.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Agreed.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So yeah, Plus I'm also somebody that just wants to
be left alone.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I do not want people all up in my business.
I don't want people sayinganything.
I don't want people talking tome.
I go to the grocery store, Iturn around and walk in a
different aisle when I seesomebody I know.
So I can avoid the stop andchat.
You know what I mean that is sotrue?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I hate, it.
What's different from the lasttime I saw you, 12 years ago
Exactly?
Oh life, life is different.
Is this really the place to getinto this right now?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You know what I'm just going to avoid you
altogether.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
So true, that is a true story.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But people do have a big fear of not interacting with
people, but yet they don'tleave their house Right.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I agree with you.
I agree, and I think people inthis, the way the world is right
now.
Sometimes it's just better tostay home, though, and then they
have their phones to go on, sothey don't feel like they're
disconnected altogether, becausethey still have the interaction
talking to somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Right.
Personal interaction is vitalto human life.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I 100% agree.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's easy to say no or get into an argument with
somebody that you can't see.
Oh, totally agree with you.
It's like even if you calledsomeone on the phone, you don't
even have to necessarily seethem.
But if you call them and you'relike hey, want to go on a date
with me, they have to literallysay it and the inflection and
tone will tell you anything youwant to know.
That's a true story.
So you don't even have to seethem necessarily, but you have
(03:46):
to interact with them personally, right?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Otherwise the keyboard is like a firewall.
Oh it is.
It's awful.
Yeah, you don't know whatthey're feeling, what they're
saying.
They could be just being niceand you misread everything.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I hate, texting oh, I never got the picture of your
wank.
Oh my God, sorry, I missed thatone.
I got to say no, though.
Whatever Get out of here, it'snuts.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Oh, my goodness, I would rather have the
interaction with a personHonestly.
I think you need it.
I, yeah I personally do needthat.
I've always been a purple, apurple people person.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
A purple people.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Purple people leader.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
One-eyed, one-horned.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
God, I've always been a person I need to go out with
and hang out with people andstuff Texting you, you're
misrepresented, you don't knowwhat the other person's feeling
or even the eye roll, you don'tknow that you send that text and
they look and I go oh my God, Idon't want to answer and they
eye roll you, you don't know.
Oh my God, they're spying on me.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, yeah.
And not only that, no one canspell.
Oh well, and I'm gonna get areal quick side note, realize?
Uh, apologize, it doesn'tcontain an s.
Yeah, why?
And when they tell us that italways has, I'm gonna lose it
yeah, that mandela effect nope,not standing for this one.
Yeah, people cannot spell.
Nope, those words do not have as in them.
They have a, a Z, exactly assoon as I see prize spelt with
an S, that's it, I'm going off.
That shit blows my skirt up.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Blows my skirt up.
I'll tell you that for free.
I don't even know what idiotstarted the whole thing.
It's not how you spell it.
What idiot decided to put an Swhere a Z is supposed to be?
It does not make any sense.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We're just looking at a bunch of stupid idiots.
Well, pretty much, and ithappens all over the place.
And loser does not contain twoO's.
You are now the loser, myfriend that's a looser.
Yeah, once you're looser,you're nooser, kill yourself.
What the hell You're such alooser?
What does this even?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
mean oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Am I loose in my morals, but that drives me nuts
too.
Wow, fomo.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
FOMO is a real thing.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's a real thing, because people are idiots, yep.
Okay, well, I don't think so,but they have no confidence in
themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You think FOMO?
People have no confidence inthemselves.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I don't follow you.
If you had enough confidence inyourself, you'd be waiting for
people to come to you.
Okay, you wouldn't be afraid ofwhat's happening when you're
not there.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well, it's usually a 50-50 thing.
I don't wait for people to makeplans.
If I want to do something, I'mgoing to go do it.
I just have friends that don'tcall all the time.
That's just people in general.
People sometimes don't want tomake plans and they're the ones
that sit back and just say, ohyeah, you know what I am bored.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I haven't seen you in a while.
Let's do something.
It's just their nature, ofcourse.
It's basically called a leap offaith, right?
You don't know if that person'sgoing to want to do something
or not.
Yeah, right, and some leap offaiths are smaller than others.
Some are huge, some are likeyou really want to ask somebody
out on a date.
Yeah, that's a big one, that'shuge.
Marriage would be a big one,just a big leap of faith, but
(07:00):
you still have to put faith inthe fact that they're going to
say yes, because they might sayno.
Right, it's not a big blow toyou, no, but it's still a leap
of faith.
Yeah, and people can't do thatanymore.
Social disconnection is becominglike a mental health concern.
It is Because most people thatare disconnected have anxiety
and depression.
Oh, yeah, and that's what I'msaying.
They don.
(07:29):
That's what I'm saying.
They don't have theself-confidence in themselves.
Yeah, the one thing you need inlife more than anything is
self-confidence, true, at thatpoint, though, you're gonna be a
narcissist.
Uh well, and you're gonna bejudged on it by people that have
social disconnection becausethey don't have what you do.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Well, that just like falls into a jealousy thing like
, wow, they could do that and Ican't, so why?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
rename it into mental health when it's just fucking
jealous I agree with youstraight up.
I agree, we have to give it aspecial name now, so we don't
hurt their feelings.
Maybe it's like kicking themwhen they're down.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Maybe it's terrible.
Get up, get up.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What's wrong with you ?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Kick.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And everybody talks about these mental health
problems and trauma and it'slike some people.
I'm like why do you even havethis?
What has happened in your lifethat's so bad?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh, you're talking about people that have mental
illness and stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I'm still on the fence with mental illness.
Okay, I'm still on the fencewith it.
I've never gone one way or theother.
Okay, I will not sit here andtell you it's not real.
Yeah, I will not sit here andtell you it's fake, right?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
No, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's feelings that you haven't dealt with Correct,
so the stem of the problem isyou.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
It's you?
Yeah, but sometimes peopledon't know how to fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, they're scared of you because it's change.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Oh, 100%, people hate change.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And they're comfortable in their little
bubble world.
They're afraid if they changewhat they're doing, it might
fall apart.
They're so afraid of theunknown that they allow
themselves to go down in arabbit hole where they can't get
out of Right.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
That lack of confidence really kills people.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yes, and there's no reason for people to not have
confidence yeah, no, I agree.
Or just get out of your comfortzone and do something, the
simple fact that every singleone of us on this planet has
some sort of problem, thatthey're dealing with Agree.
You're not different thananybody else.
It's not worse for you.
People don't know how to talkabout that.
Yeah, basically, what I wouldsay is you're making it worse
(09:15):
for yourself by not dealing withit and not understanding that
the guy sitting right next toyou at the bus stop has problems
too, right, and he's probablyin a better mood because he at
least is handling it right, ortalking about it, or whatever
and he's not dead.
Yeah, so it's not that scary,right right, right, yep.
But what do?
I know I'm an idiot, I'm just aguy with a microphone, is that?
(09:36):
And glasses I feel like theseare my invisible glasses.
I put them on, nobody can seeme.
You know what I mean.
So stupid big daddy movie.
Look, put on your invisibleglasses there, bud nobody'll be
able to see you good god and thepeople moving on, the people
(09:59):
with the social disconnection.
There's a lot of things that gointo it.
It says fear, rejection, poorself-esteem, dysfunctional
family dynamics.
Yeah, that's a big thing, thatis a big thing, and we've been
fostering dysfunctional familiesfor years and I've said this,
I'm a Darwinist, if you want toclassify it as anything mother
birds will let the bird fall outof the nest and then move on.
(10:21):
It's sad to say, but that is,in fact, empathy.
That bird does not want to givethe baby a life that it can't
live.
She knows already, right, soshe leaves it.
Right, it's not going to makeit.
Why would I give that baby life?
Now here's my argument on thatwith myself what if it was me?
Okay, what if I was having ababy that had had a struggle?
(10:44):
Right, what would I do?
Right, I don't know.
I don't know what I would do.
I've not been in that position,so I can't say, right, it's
like I don't know what I woulddo, yeah, so I can side with the
other side.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Also, I can say I see this, I get it I can see both
sides too, but as a mom I wouldobviously not do that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean, I'm a mom I, mom, I would say to myself you
know you would keep it.
Of course you wouldn't let itgo, but we are doing this and it
does have an adverse effect100% correct.
And that's why I come up withthe fact that empathy is what is
going to kill human beings.
It makes it harder for thespecies to carry on when we're
being an own cancer type toourselves.
(11:21):
Yeah, but it's like I would dothe same thing anybody else did.
You know what I mean?
Right, I would do that, I wouldraise it.
Right, and as far as naturegoes and we're talking strictly,
nature only, yeah, yeah, I'mnot judging anybody or anything
like that Right, nature doesn'tdo that.
No, they don't, nature doesn'tdo that.
Right, there's like two orthree species that will do that.
(11:42):
Right, other than that,everyone else will eat their
young, they'll leave themwhatever if they like.
The runt was always the onethat's not protected.
Correct, right, correct.
Most of the time, a humanadopts the runt and takes care
of it, because empathy right,empathy, yeah and yeah but I'm
not trying to clear no runs of alitter to human beings.
But that's the empathy thoughtmind process, the thought
(12:05):
process behind it, the mindset.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Right, right, right.
But there are people out therethat don't.
If they say they have a childthat's got issues or something
and they don't know how tohandle it, they will do that in
a sense, and then that persongrows up to be the person we're
just trying to talk about rightnow, that doesn't have the
social skills, that doesn't wantto do anything, that doesn't
know how to adapt in the worldthank you because you just
brought it all the way backaround, right, right right.
So there is that theory that Imean, that's what happens to
(12:27):
these people that want to sithome and don't want to do
anything, which is depressing.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I feel like we're classifying them as a certain
category.
Well, I've said it, you've justsaid it it's these people,
these people, they're people,they're people, they're people
but?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
but there is a classification of them.
But you have have to understandthere's the social.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You could literally sit here and classify every
single human being on the planetWithout a doubt, based on what
your perspective is, of course,without a doubt, these people
that we're talking about, thesepeople could be far superior to
us.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
No, you're totally 100% right.
But on the outside, looking in,you'd think these people had
issues Because they don't wantto do anything, because they
don't fit in with the socialnorms.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's exactly what.
I'm trying to say Right Claimedto not fit in with social norms
, correct, yep.
That being said, moving on, Idon't even know where we are now
.
We lost, we went off on atangent there.
We always do.
Yeah, I just blew my skirt up.
I'll tell you that for free,all right.
Oh, the lost art offace-to-face interaction.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I was just going to say.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I need that in my life.
No, I do.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
That's just me personally, no.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Don't say no.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I will say no, nope, if you would listen to my answer
instead of over-talking me likeyou always do, that's a lie.
I will tell you why.
Everyone needs it.
Oh okay, not just you, everyone, everybody needs personal
interaction.
You have to see a person's face, you have to look them in the
eyes, and my grandparents alwayssaid if somebody doesn't look
you in the eyes, don't trustthem.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh 100%.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
If they're looking away while they're talking to me
, drifting somewhere else, theydon't want to tell you things I
had the same advice, so they'relying to
Speaker 3 (13:59):
you.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yep, I had the same advice.
That's the first sign thatsomebody's lying to you.
They won't look you in the eyesRight.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Especially when they know they're wrong, right, that
lack of confidence.
They're like all over the place.
When they're right, there's noeye contact.
I'm like what are you doingright now?
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Right, and that online.
So you want a mortgage.
You want to order food, even ifyou have to call somebody.
Yeah, and talk to them, whichis better than yes, but they can
.
They'll say no.
If you apply online for a bankloan, yeah, it's easy to say no
because they don't know who thehell they're saying no to
(14:33):
exactly they don't have to lookyou in the eyes, no, you don't
have to explain to them, andtheir empathy and their
emotional support doesn't comeout right.
It's just's just like nope,this guy doesn't fit X, y and Z,
right, sorry, no loan.
Yeah, it's easy to do.
You can disconnect yourselffrom what is real.
Yep, great.
And that's what has happened.
Everybody has disconnectedthemselves from what is real,
(14:54):
right, and so it's likeconnecting across differences is
the title of the point, andit's like we had the episode
last week about bridginggenerational gaps.
Yep, that's what we did lastweek.
Okay, right, yep.
So it came up in here and I waslike that's right.
It came up and I was like, Isaid it last episode, I'm saying
it again 77 to 83.
(15:15):
Those years, oh yeah, 1977 to1983 is a six year period.
Anybody at that age, whichhappens to be mine, dated myself
.
We all know now I'm a sexy bee,oh boy.
Those are the only people thatcan do it.
And I have another theory onall this.
Also, people born in thatlittle sub-generation can talk
(15:39):
to anyone.
I'm going to disagree with youon that one.
You can, but I'm right andyou're wrong.
Okay, that sub-generation cantalk to anyone.
I'm going to disagree with youon that one.
You can, but I'm right andyou're wrong.
Okay that sub-generation wasbrought up with the ability to
go out and socialize.
You had to play Little LeagueBall.
You had to ride your bikes.
You had to go play.
You're out to the street, like,come on, you did that, and then
we were the first ones thatwere able to talk over these
(16:02):
headphones.
Okay, we were, and then we werethe first ones that were able
to talk over these headphones.
Okay, we were the first ones todo this, all right, right?
Yeah, that is why I believethat I have this ability to just
talk to anybody, and we weretalking about this the other day
.
My friend ham has this abilitywhere he can just walk up and
just start talking to him.
Yeah, I have the same thing.
We do it in two completelydifferent ways.
Right, I can just sit there,sit down and be like how's your
(16:23):
hot dog?
I'm not eating a hot dog, Iknow, you know what I mean.
Just crack a stupid joke thatdoesn't make sense, then explain
it right, and then they're likeoh, you seem funny.
Like, well, I'm not or juststupid.
I'm just stupid and so, butthere are many, many, many
people that can't.
And my other theory is I cannotsee eye to eye with my parents,
(16:51):
but my parents can see eye toeye with my son, and my parents
can see eye to eye with mygrandparents, but I could see
eye to eye with my grandparents.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
For whatever reason, generations right next to each
other?
Okay.
So baby boomers and Gen X?
Yep, they can't see eye eachother.
Okay so baby boomers and Gen X?
They can't see eye to eye.
Okay, but baby boomers andmillennials, or whatever?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
can do it.
Huh, never thought about that.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Gen X and whatever the one, Gen Y, whatever was
next.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I don't even know how they go.
What alphabet are we going touse?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I don't remember the chronological order of
generations anymore, they can't,but baby boomers and Gen Y can,
and then whatever was beforebaby boomers, like the silent
era or whatever it was, I don'tknow.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh gosh, I have no clue.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
My grandparents.
The fostering of the babyboomers, yeah, yeah, yeah, that
generation I could see eye toeye with, yeah, and it's like
this.
I think it's the nurturingaspect of it and it never goes
away.
Oh well, yeah so your mother'salways going to be your mother,
right, of course, but yourgrandmother's your grandmother
Right, and your grandmother cansit there and be like, oh,
that's okay, he's fine, whereyour mother would be like, no,
(17:50):
you can't have that thing, it'sa true story, right it's a true
story you look at it a differentway my grandma's like no, give
it to him, let him have the soda.
It's true story and I'm like isif the generations are right
next to each other, they don'tsee eye to eye.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, if they're not, they do all right, well, so
okay, good theory, good theoryit's just a theory.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yep, I wonder if we could test it out at some point
I might have to do that you haveto do a lot of things.
I don't have to do anything.
You have to shower before we goon video.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Wow, I just did you just say that?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
yeah, I said it because it's gonna come up on
the video.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh, god, what an idiot.
Oh my god, I can't believe youjust said that.
Why, uh, I used to loveactually listening, and with my
grandparents, though they usedto love actually listening.
With my grandparents, though,they used to listen to the Red
Sox games on the radios, and weused to play cards all the time.
(18:47):
And so that was a differentgeneration too.
They didn't have cell phones,they didn't know what they were,
they didn't I mean, my fathercan still only use the microwave
.
Yeah, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
He knows nothing about technological advances.
Yeah, he can't use a VCR.
We don't even use VCRs anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, but he wasn't brought up on it and didn't have
any use for it, so why would heneed to learn it?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'm bolstering your point.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Okay, right, but I miss my grandparents.
I miss that way of them doingthings and not caring about
anything else in the world,because they had their own
little world to do with anddoing things and not caring
about anything else in the worldbecause they had their own
little world to do with, andthat was a great time.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Did you ever go back and watch those old or listen to
those old radio programs.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Oh yeah, I love those .
They're awesome.
They are awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I often feel like we could do that right here in the
studio we should, and just makeup stories and things, right,
right and have the door openMeow oh, there's a cat meow.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That would be fun, actually it would be, but I mean
, that's what, that they didn'thave all this technology and
they lived fine, peaceful lives,not stressful or anything
that's it.
I went out and played till fromfrom when I got up in the
morning.
I had to be home at dusk.
All day long I was outsideplaying.
I didn't have phones oranything like that.
It's just the way life was.
You put a phone in this frontof these kids.
It's like they are lost.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Well, that's what's disconnecting everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
That's how we started this whole episode.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yep, but it's changing and we were talking
about this in the generationalgap episode that they're going
to be fine.
They're learning what'shappening now and using it to
their advantage.
Of course.
Was it right for us?
No, no, we did it a differentway, exactly.
They're doing it a way thatit's going to evolve into We'll
be fine.
And we now need us.
(20:24):
This generation, even thesub-generation I was talking
about, needs to learn from them.
It's so true, because they'rethe ones that are out in front,
and if you need to know anything, look to your kids.
Oh, 100%, ask them what's goingon, ask them to show stuff.
Right, do this, do that, do thethird?
(20:44):
Yep, yep, and it goes like that, yep, because, like, even with
this stuff, even with thispodcast, I still have to ask my
son about things.
Oh yeah, he's like.
I'm like what's the url?
Dad, are you dumb?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
he says that too, and he gives this dumb face like
what are you?
What is he like?
Doesn't know anything.
He's got a podcast, it's a note, anything I know what url is.
I'm just using an example no, Iknow, but that's, that's the
generalization of it, and helooks at you like what the heck
dad and I have to look back andI was like pop doesn't even know
how to use the microwave I know, yeah, but sometimes I wonder
(21:14):
if this generation, being ontheir phones and gaming and all
that, they are disconnected.
They are, they are disconnected.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
That's what everybody wants to believe and talk about
.
They're not.
It's their manner of connectingand they're evolving.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, but sometimes they don't even come outside and
see it's the sun's out.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
But that's what we did, and we think that's the way
it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, it's generational.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
We aren't looking forward enough to say, hey,
everything is changing.
Yeah, everything is changing.
We are sitting here podcasting,right, right, there's no bikes
out in front.
Nope, this ain't 1977.
Yeah, yeah, we are heretechnologically advanced, it's
true, it's half because of them,right, and this is going in
this direction, yeah, and to bea fool and not see it, yeah, and
(22:00):
think it should be ridingaround, now, I will argue that
they should ride around theirbikes, because you will not have
as many knee problems if theydid, okay, I'm just, I'm just
saying that's a fact, but yourobesity will be declining too
that would be also because theyhave sit down and do their
gaming and just sit and donothing all day but in a manner
of speaking, they're yes, I willagree with you on that.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Correct they are, but not like you and I and the
generations before us did.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's the way it's all been pushed.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, it's just a different time.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
We started this whole thing out.
There's no more church singlesnights, it's true.
Now we just play bingo.
Oh God, it's the only way youmeet anybody.
It's the only way you meetanybody, it's true.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
The nice thing is, they don't have any teeth.
So oh, oh, boy, okay, wow, whatthe I?
Can't you just go off on ateeth, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
But they're doing their own thing.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I still feel the need in this society and in this
life for human interaction,because it will not survive if
you don't.
Yeah, and you can tell.
Now it's going to technologymore than anything.
They're literally trying tomake us into robots.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It's so true.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
They're trying to make us into robots.
So true, they're automatingeverything.
Yeah, and I started wonderingworking from home, remote work
yeah, you become a robot.
It's true, it's true, theybasically don't need you.
No, you can sit at home and notcome into work.
Right, work, right.
They'll pay you yep to do thesame stuff, same stuff.
I know, believe me, I know.
And that is taking away socialinteraction.
(23:24):
It totally is, and people arecraving the workspace now.
They want it back.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
They want it back I.
I sometimes sit home and I'mlike wow, I wish I could talk to
somebody, or because I missbeing you and casey both work
remote, correct, right, yep, andyou come here a lot to work.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yes, yes, why.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Because I need to talk to somebody.
That's right, I just sometimesneed.
It's good because if I've gotreally important meetings or
I've got really something I needto focus on, I will stay at
home and focus on it, cause if Ido come to another situation, I
know I'm not going to get itdone.
There's going to bedistractions, there's going to
be this and that.
That's how I work.
But You're right, sometimes Ijust need to talk to somebody.
Get out of your office, get outof my office, come here Hang
(24:01):
out.
Exactly.
Hey, you guys want lunch?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
That's interacting with someone.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Like the Monday after the Super Bowl, you guys were
both here, yep, you guys wereboth working, yep, and we were
talking about the Super Bowlgame, right, right, this will
happen.
I don't know.
There'll be these little nicheswhere people just have their
own little groups.
Yeah, I think what we've we'vecreated here in this studio, in
this, this house, is kind ofnice, yeah, like.
(24:28):
You guys can get out of yourremote offices, right, come here
, hang out and we get to talkabout different things, right,
and you all bring a different,uh, perspective, right.
Even keibler yeah, right, Imean, he's retired, so, but he
was out.
He was a mailman, right, right,yeah, and now he's home a lot,
yeah, and Mrs Keebler stillworks, right, so he's just
sitting there by himself, right.
(24:49):
Sometimes he's dying to get outof the house, yeah, right, and
I love it because he's reallygetting into this, well, he
probably again falling back to.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
He probably needs something to do.
He's not no social interaction,yeah Right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And I love it because I love Keebler.
Yeah, I know I love it that hecomes here Right and it's a dude
, Seriously.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I got to talk to another dude.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Oh man, it's like the best hours of the week, oh gosh
.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
But I get to sit there and podcast with him.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That being said, we're over time, okay, and I

Speaker 3 (00:33):

Speaker 2 (00:40):
There's a lot Seriously, people.
There's a lot Seriously.
Anyway, today I'm here with Kat, hey, hey, otherwise known as
T-Bot, we are going to talkabout.
Fomo, basically Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
FOMO Fear of missing out.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We're actually going to talk about disconnection,
social disconnection, all thatstuff.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Like kids and people and like how online dating has
become such a huge thing Insteadof like church singles night.
You know when you actually gotto see somebody in person and
then you couldn't get catfishedbecause they couldn't lie to you
right there actually it wasprobably better back then.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
At least you knew what you were putting yourself
into yeah, it's like windowshopping.
Yes, you know, I mean I agreeto 100, you're not going on a
date with some fat pig that'swhat I mean, that exactly what I
mean.
At least you saw them, you knewthey would look like was no, oh
my god, you have a picture ofthis really good looking guy and
his fat shit shows up.
Bye.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Absolutely.
And then how do you get out ofit?
You're stuck Exactly Becauseyou don't want to be rude.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Plus, you've wasted so much time texting back and
forth, thinking you have aconnection with them, and in
actuality they're like theugliest person ever and you're
like ooh, gotta go over with.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Let's get into this.
So, uh, hold on one second,we'll go.
Why does everybody seem so like?
Why they all feel like they'redisconnected?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I do not uh, you are actually on social media a lot
more than I am, so maybe that'swhy I it's.
That's not it.
Why do?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
you, then I don't feel disconnected to, but it's
not because of social media topeople, people in general, I'm
on social media only to promotethis show.
I get it, which I epically failat, so I should probably just
quit, but still, I'm not onsocial media looking for
interactions with people.
Okay, I go out and do something, oh yes.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Agreed.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So yeah, Plus I'm also somebody that just wants to
be left alone.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I do not want people all up in my business.
I don't want people sayinganything.
I don't want people talking tome.
I go to the grocery store, Iturn around and walk in a
different aisle when I seesomebody I know.
So I can avoid the stop andchat.
You know what I mean that is sotrue?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I hate, it.
What's different from the lasttime I saw you, 12 years ago
Exactly?
Oh life, life is different.
Is this really the place to getinto this right now?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You know what I'm just going to avoid you
altogether.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
So true, that is a true story.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But people do have a big fear of not interacting with
people, but yet they don'tleave their house Right.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I agree with you.
I agree, and I think people inthis, the way the world is right
now.
Sometimes it's just better tostay home, though, and then they
have their phones to go on, sothey don't feel like they're
disconnected altogether, becausethey still have the interaction
talking to somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Right.
Personal interaction is vitalto human life.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I 100% agree.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's easy to say no or get into an argument with
somebody that you can't see.
Oh, totally agree with you.
It's like even if you calledsomeone on the phone, you don't
even have to necessarily seethem.
But if you call them and you'relike hey, want to go on a date
with me, they have to literallysay it and the inflection and
tone will tell you anything youwant to know.
That's a true story.
So you don't even have to seethem necessarily, but you have
(03:46):
to interact with them personally, right?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Otherwise the keyboard is like a firewall.
Oh it is.
It's awful.
Yeah, you don't know whatthey're feeling, what they're
saying.
They could be just being niceand you misread everything.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I hate, texting oh, I never got the picture of your
wank.
Oh my God, sorry, I missed thatone.
I got to say no, though.
Whatever Get out of here, it'snuts.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Oh, my goodness, I would rather have the
interaction with a personHonestly.
I think you need it.
I, yeah I personally do needthat.
I've always been a purple, apurple people person.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
A purple people.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Purple people leader.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
One-eyed, one-horned.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
God, I've always been a person I need to go out with
and hang out with people andstuff Texting you, you're
misrepresented, you don't knowwhat the other person's feeling
or even the eye roll, you don'tknow that you send that text and
they look and I go oh my God, Idon't want to answer and they
eye roll you, you don't know.
Oh my God, they're spying on me.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, yeah.
And not only that, no one canspell.
Oh well, and I'm gonna get areal quick side note, realize?
Uh, apologize, it doesn'tcontain an s.
Yeah, why?
And when they tell us that italways has, I'm gonna lose it
yeah, that mandela effect nope,not standing for this one.
Yeah, people cannot spell.
Nope, those words do not have as in them.
They have a, a Z, exactly assoon as I see prize spelt with
an S, that's it, I'm going off.
That shit blows my skirt up.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Blows my skirt up.
I'll tell you that for free.
I don't even know what idiotstarted the whole thing.
It's not how you spell it.
What idiot decided to put an Swhere a Z is supposed to be?
It does not make any sense.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We're just looking at a bunch of stupid idiots.
Well, pretty much, and ithappens all over the place.
And loser does not contain twoO's.
You are now the loser, myfriend that's a looser.
Yeah, once you're looser,you're nooser, kill yourself.
What the hell You're such alooser?
What does this even?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
mean oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Am I loose in my morals, but that drives me nuts
too.
Wow, fomo.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
FOMO is a real thing.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's a real thing, because people are idiots, yep.
Okay, well, I don't think so,but they have no confidence in
themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You think FOMO?
People have no confidence inthemselves.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I don't follow you.
If you had enough confidence inyourself, you'd be waiting for
people to come to you.
Okay, you wouldn't be afraid ofwhat's happening when you're
not there.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well, it's usually a 50-50 thing.
I don't wait for people to makeplans.
If I want to do something, I'mgoing to go do it.
I just have friends that don'tcall all the time.
That's just people in general.
People sometimes don't want tomake plans and they're the ones
that sit back and just say, ohyeah, you know what I am bored.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I haven't seen you in a while.
Let's do something.
It's just their nature, ofcourse.
It's basically called a leap offaith, right?
You don't know if that person'sgoing to want to do something
or not.
Yeah, right, and some leap offaiths are smaller than others.
Some are huge, some are likeyou really want to ask somebody
out on a date.
Yeah, that's a big one, that'shuge.
Marriage would be a big one,just a big leap of faith, but
(07:00):
you still have to put faith inthe fact that they're going to
say yes, because they might sayno.
Right, it's not a big blow toyou, no, but it's still a leap
of faith.
Yeah, and people can't do thatanymore.
Social disconnection is becominglike a mental health concern.
It is Because most people thatare disconnected have anxiety
and depression.
Oh, yeah, and that's what I'msaying.
They don.
(07:29):
That's what I'm saying.
They don't have theself-confidence in themselves.
Yeah, the one thing you need inlife more than anything is
self-confidence, true, at thatpoint, though, you're gonna be a
narcissist.
Uh well, and you're gonna bejudged on it by people that have
social disconnection becausethey don't have what you do.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Well, that just like falls into a jealousy thing like
, wow, they could do that and Ican't, so why?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
rename it into mental health when it's just fucking
jealous I agree with youstraight up.
I agree, we have to give it aspecial name now, so we don't
hurt their feelings.
Maybe it's like kicking themwhen they're down.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Maybe it's terrible.
Get up, get up.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What's wrong with you ?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Kick.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And everybody talks about these mental health
problems and trauma and it'slike some people.
I'm like why do you even havethis?
What has happened in your lifethat's so bad?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh, you're talking about people that have mental
illness and stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I'm still on the fence with mental illness.
Okay, I'm still on the fencewith it.
I've never gone one way or theother.
Okay, I will not sit here andtell you it's not real.
Yeah, I will not sit here andtell you it's fake, right?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
No, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's feelings that you haven't dealt with Correct,
so the stem of the problem isyou.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
It's you?
Yeah, but sometimes peopledon't know how to fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, they're scared of you because it's change.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Oh, 100%, people hate change.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And they're comfortable in their little
bubble world.
They're afraid if they changewhat they're doing, it might
fall apart.
They're so afraid of theunknown that they allow
themselves to go down in arabbit hole where they can't get
out of Right.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
That lack of confidence really kills people.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yes, and there's no reason for people to not have
confidence yeah, no, I agree.
Or just get out of your comfortzone and do something, the
simple fact that every singleone of us on this planet has
some sort of problem, thatthey're dealing with Agree.
You're not different thananybody else.
It's not worse for you.
People don't know how to talkabout that.
Yeah, basically, what I wouldsay is you're making it worse
(09:15):
for yourself by not dealing withit and not understanding that
the guy sitting right next toyou at the bus stop has problems
too, right, and he's probablyin a better mood because he at
least is handling it right, ortalking about it, or whatever
and he's not dead.
Yeah, so it's not that scary,right right, right, yep.
But what do?
I know I'm an idiot, I'm just aguy with a microphone, is that?
(09:36):
And glasses I feel like theseare my invisible glasses.
I put them on, nobody can seeme.
You know what I mean.
So stupid big daddy movie.
Look, put on your invisibleglasses there, bud nobody'll be
able to see you good god and thepeople moving on, the people
(09:59):
with the social disconnection.
There's a lot of things that gointo it.
It says fear, rejection, poorself-esteem, dysfunctional
family dynamics.
Yeah, that's a big thing, thatis a big thing, and we've been
fostering dysfunctional familiesfor years and I've said this,
I'm a Darwinist, if you want toclassify it as anything mother
birds will let the bird fall outof the nest and then move on.
(10:21):
It's sad to say, but that is,in fact, empathy.
That bird does not want to givethe baby a life that it can't
live.
She knows already, right, soshe leaves it.
Right, it's not going to makeit.
Why would I give that baby life?
Now here's my argument on thatwith myself what if it was me?
Okay, what if I was having ababy that had had a struggle?
(10:44):
Right, what would I do?
Right, I don't know.
I don't know what I would do.
I've not been in that position,so I can't say, right, it's
like I don't know what I woulddo, yeah, so I can side with the
other side.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Also, I can say I see this, I get it I can see both
sides too, but as a mom I wouldobviously not do that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean, I'm a mom I, mom, I would say to myself you
know you would keep it.
Of course you wouldn't let itgo, but we are doing this and it
does have an adverse effect100% correct.
And that's why I come up withthe fact that empathy is what is
going to kill human beings.
It makes it harder for thespecies to carry on when we're
being an own cancer type toourselves.
(11:21):
Yeah, but it's like I would dothe same thing anybody else did.
You know what I mean?
Right, I would do that, I wouldraise it.
Right, and as far as naturegoes and we're talking strictly,
nature only, yeah, yeah, I'mnot judging anybody or anything
like that Right, nature doesn'tdo that.
No, they don't, nature doesn'tdo that.
Right, there's like two orthree species that will do that.
(11:42):
Right, other than that,everyone else will eat their
young, they'll leave themwhatever if they like.
The runt was always the onethat's not protected.
Correct, right, correct.
Most of the time, a humanadopts the runt and takes care
of it, because empathy right,empathy, yeah and yeah but I'm
not trying to clear no runs of alitter to human beings.
But that's the empathy thoughtmind process, the thought
(12:05):
process behind it, the mindset.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Right, right, right.
But there are people out therethat don't.
If they say they have a childthat's got issues or something
and they don't know how tohandle it, they will do that in
a sense, and then that persongrows up to be the person we're
just trying to talk about rightnow, that doesn't have the
social skills, that doesn't wantto do anything, that doesn't
know how to adapt in the worldthank you because you just
brought it all the way backaround, right, right right.
So there is that theory that Imean, that's what happens to
(12:27):
these people that want to sithome and don't want to do
anything, which is depressing.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I feel like we're classifying them as a certain
category.
Well, I've said it, you've justsaid it it's these people,
these people, they're people,they're people, they're people
but?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
but there is a classification of them.
But you have have to understandthere's the social.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You could literally sit here and classify every
single human being on the planetWithout a doubt, based on what
your perspective is, of course,without a doubt, these people
that we're talking about, thesepeople could be far superior to
us.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
No, you're totally 100% right.
But on the outside, looking in,you'd think these people had
issues Because they don't wantto do anything, because they
don't fit in with the socialnorms.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's exactly what.
I'm trying to say Right Claimedto not fit in with social norms
, correct, yep.
That being said, moving on, Idon't even know where we are now
.
We lost, we went off on atangent there.
We always do.
Yeah, I just blew my skirt up.
I'll tell you that for free,all right.
Oh, the lost art offace-to-face interaction.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I was just going to say.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I need that in my life.
No, I do.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
That's just me personally, no.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Don't say no.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I will say no, nope, if you would listen to my answer
instead of over-talking me likeyou always do, that's a lie.
I will tell you why.
Everyone needs it.
Oh okay, not just you, everyone, everybody needs personal
interaction.
You have to see a person's face, you have to look them in the
eyes, and my grandparents alwayssaid if somebody doesn't look
you in the eyes, don't trustthem.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh 100%.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
If they're looking away while they're talking to me
, drifting somewhere else, theydon't want to tell you things I
had the same advice, so they'relying to
Speaker 3 (13:59):
you.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yep, I had the same advice.
That's the first sign thatsomebody's lying to you.
They won't look you in the eyesRight.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Especially when they know they're wrong, right, that
lack of confidence.
They're like all over the place.
When they're right, there's noeye contact.
I'm like what are you doingright now?
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Right, and that online.
So you want a mortgage.
You want to order food, even ifyou have to call somebody.
Yeah, and talk to them, whichis better than yes, but they can
.
They'll say no.
If you apply online for a bankloan, yeah, it's easy to say no
because they don't know who thehell they're saying no to
(14:33):
exactly they don't have to lookyou in the eyes, no, you don't
have to explain to them, andtheir empathy and their
emotional support doesn't comeout right.
It's just's just like nope,this guy doesn't fit X, y and Z,
right, sorry, no loan.
Yeah, it's easy to do.
You can disconnect yourselffrom what is real.
Yep, great.
And that's what has happened.
Everybody has disconnectedthemselves from what is real,
(14:54):
right, and so it's likeconnecting across differences is
the title of the point, andit's like we had the episode
last week about bridginggenerational gaps.
Yep, that's what we did lastweek.
Okay, right, yep.
So it came up in here and I waslike that's right.
It came up and I was like, Isaid it last episode, I'm saying
it again 77 to 83.
(15:15):
Those years, oh yeah, 1977 to1983 is a six year period.
Anybody at that age, whichhappens to be mine, dated myself
.
We all know now I'm a sexy bee,oh boy.
Those are the only people thatcan do it.
And I have another theory onall this.
Also, people born in thatlittle sub-generation can talk
(15:39):
to anyone.
I'm going to disagree with youon that one.
You can, but I'm right andyou're wrong.
Okay, that sub-generation cantalk to anyone.
I'm going to disagree with youon that one.
You can, but I'm right andyou're wrong.
Okay that sub-generation wasbrought up with the ability to
go out and socialize.
You had to play Little LeagueBall.
You had to ride your bikes.
You had to go play.
You're out to the street, like,come on, you did that, and then
we were the first ones thatwere able to talk over these
(16:02):
headphones.
Okay, we were, and then we werethe first ones that were able
to talk over these headphones.
Okay, we were the first ones todo this, all right, right?
Yeah, that is why I believethat I have this ability to just
talk to anybody, and we weretalking about this the other day
.
My friend ham has this abilitywhere he can just walk up and
just start talking to him.
Yeah, I have the same thing.
We do it in two completelydifferent ways.
Right, I can just sit there,sit down and be like how's your
(16:23):
hot dog?
I'm not eating a hot dog, Iknow, you know what I mean.
Just crack a stupid joke thatdoesn't make sense, then explain
it right, and then they're likeoh, you seem funny.
Like, well, I'm not or juststupid.
I'm just stupid and so, butthere are many, many, many
people that can't.
And my other theory is I cannotsee eye to eye with my parents,
(16:51):
but my parents can see eye toeye with my son, and my parents
can see eye to eye with mygrandparents, but I could see
eye to eye with my grandparents.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
For whatever reason, generations right next to each
other?
Okay.
So baby boomers and Gen X?
Yep, they can't see eye eachother.
Okay so baby boomers and Gen X?
They can't see eye to eye.
Okay, but baby boomers andmillennials, or whatever?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
can do it.
Huh, never thought about that.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Gen X and whatever the one, Gen Y, whatever was
next.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I don't even know how they go.
What alphabet are we going touse?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I don't remember the chronological order of
generations anymore, they can't,but baby boomers and Gen Y can,
and then whatever was beforebaby boomers, like the silent
era or whatever it was, I don'tknow.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh gosh, I have no clue.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
My grandparents.
The fostering of the babyboomers, yeah, yeah, yeah, that
generation I could see eye toeye with, yeah, and it's like
this.
I think it's the nurturingaspect of it and it never goes
away.
Oh well, yeah so your mother'salways going to be your mother,
right, of course, but yourgrandmother's your grandmother
Right, and your grandmother cansit there and be like, oh,
that's okay, he's fine, whereyour mother would be like, no,
(17:50):
you can't have that thing, it'sa true story, right it's a true
story you look at it a differentway my grandma's like no, give
it to him, let him have the soda.
It's true story and I'm like isif the generations are right
next to each other, they don'tsee eye to eye.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, if they're not, they do all right, well, so
okay, good theory, good theoryit's just a theory.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yep, I wonder if we could test it out at some point
I might have to do that you haveto do a lot of things.
I don't have to do anything.
You have to shower before we goon video.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Wow, I just did you just say that?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
yeah, I said it because it's gonna come up on
the video.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh, god, what an idiot.
Oh my god, I can't believe youjust said that.
Why, uh, I used to loveactually listening, and with my
grandparents, though they usedto love actually listening.
With my grandparents, though,they used to listen to the Red
Sox games on the radios, and weused to play cards all the time.
(18:47):
And so that was a differentgeneration too.
They didn't have cell phones,they didn't know what they were,
they didn't I mean, my fathercan still only use the microwave
.
Yeah, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
He knows nothing about technological advances.
Yeah, he can't use a VCR.
We don't even use VCRs anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, but he wasn't brought up on it and didn't have
any use for it, so why would heneed to learn it?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'm bolstering your point.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Okay, right, but I miss my grandparents.
I miss that way of them doingthings and not caring about
anything else in the world,because they had their own
little world to do with anddoing things and not caring
about anything else in the worldbecause they had their own
little world to do with, andthat was a great time.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Did you ever go back and watch those old or listen to
those old radio programs.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Oh yeah, I love those .
They're awesome.
They are awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I often feel like we could do that right here in the
studio we should, and just makeup stories and things, right,
right and have the door openMeow oh, there's a cat meow.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That would be fun, actually it would be, but I mean
, that's what, that they didn'thave all this technology and
they lived fine, peaceful lives,not stressful or anything
that's it.
I went out and played till fromfrom when I got up in the
morning.
I had to be home at dusk.
All day long I was outsideplaying.
I didn't have phones oranything like that.
It's just the way life was.
You put a phone in this frontof these kids.
It's like they are lost.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Well, that's what's disconnecting everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
That's how we started this whole episode.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yep, but it's changing and we were talking
about this in the generationalgap episode that they're going
to be fine.
They're learning what'shappening now and using it to
their advantage.
Of course.
Was it right for us?
No, no, we did it a differentway, exactly.
They're doing it a way thatit's going to evolve into We'll
be fine.
And we now need us.
(20:24):
This generation, even thesub-generation I was talking
about, needs to learn from them.
It's so true, because they'rethe ones that are out in front,
and if you need to know anything, look to your kids.
Oh, 100%, ask them what's goingon, ask them to show stuff.
Right, do this, do that, do thethird?
(20:44):
Yep, yep, and it goes like that, yep, because, like, even with
this stuff, even with thispodcast, I still have to ask my
son about things.
Oh yeah, he's like.
I'm like what's the url?
Dad, are you dumb?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
he says that too, and he gives this dumb face like
what are you?
What is he like?
Doesn't know anything.
He's got a podcast, it's a note, anything I know what url is.
I'm just using an example no, Iknow, but that's, that's the
generalization of it, and helooks at you like what the heck
dad and I have to look back andI was like pop doesn't even know
how to use the microwave I know, yeah, but sometimes I wonder
(21:14):
if this generation, being ontheir phones and gaming and all
that, they are disconnected.
They are, they are disconnected.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
That's what everybody wants to believe and talk about
.
They're not.
It's their manner of connectingand they're evolving.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, but sometimes they don't even come outside and
see it's the sun's out.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
But that's what we did, and we think that's the way
it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, it's generational.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
We aren't looking forward enough to say, hey,
everything is changing.
Yeah, everything is changing.
We are sitting here podcasting,right, right, there's no bikes
out in front.
Nope, this ain't 1977.
Yeah, yeah, we are heretechnologically advanced, it's
true, it's half because of them,right, and this is going in
this direction, yeah, and to bea fool and not see it, yeah, and
(22:00):
think it should be ridingaround, now, I will argue that
they should ride around theirbikes, because you will not have
as many knee problems if theydid, okay, I'm just, I'm just
saying that's a fact, but yourobesity will be declining too
that would be also because theyhave sit down and do their
gaming and just sit and donothing all day but in a manner
of speaking, they're yes, I willagree with you on that.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Correct they are, but not like you and I and the
generations before us did.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's the way it's all been pushed.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, it's just a different time.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
We started this whole thing out.
There's no more church singlesnights, it's true.
Now we just play bingo.
Oh God, it's the only way youmeet anybody.
It's the only way you meetanybody, it's true.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
The nice thing is, they don't have any teeth.
So oh, oh, boy, okay, wow, whatthe I?
Can't you just go off on ateeth, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
But they're doing their own thing.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I still feel the need in this society and in this
life for human interaction,because it will not survive if
you don't.
Yeah, and you can tell.
Now it's going to technologymore than anything.
They're literally trying tomake us into robots.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It's so true.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
They're trying to make us into robots.
So true, they're automatingeverything.
Yeah, and I started wonderingworking from home, remote work
yeah, you become a robot.
It's true, it's true, theybasically don't need you.
No, you can sit at home and notcome into work.
Right, work, right.
They'll pay you yep to do thesame stuff, same stuff.
I know, believe me, I know.
And that is taking away socialinteraction.
(23:24):
It totally is, and people arecraving the workspace now.
They want it back.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
They want it back I.
I sometimes sit home and I'mlike wow, I wish I could talk to
somebody, or because I missbeing you and casey both work
remote, correct, right, yep, andyou come here a lot to work.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yes, yes, why.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Because I need to talk to somebody.
That's right, I just sometimesneed.
It's good because if I've gotreally important meetings or
I've got really something I needto focus on, I will stay at
home and focus on it, cause if Ido come to another situation, I
know I'm not going to get itdone.
There's going to bedistractions, there's going to
be this and that.
That's how I work.
But You're right, sometimes Ijust need to talk to somebody.
Get out of your office, get outof my office, come here Hang
(24:01):
out.
Exactly.
Hey, you guys want lunch?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
That's interacting with someone.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Like the Monday after the Super Bowl, you guys were
both here, yep, you guys wereboth working, yep, and we were
talking about the Super Bowlgame, right, right, this will
happen.
I don't know.
There'll be these little nicheswhere people just have their
own little groups.
Yeah, I think what we've we'vecreated here in this studio, in
this, this house, is kind ofnice, yeah, like.
(24:28):
You guys can get out of yourremote offices, right, come here
, hang out and we get to talkabout different things, right,
and you all bring a different,uh, perspective, right.
Even keibler yeah, right, Imean, he's retired, so, but he
was out.
He was a mailman, right, right,yeah, and now he's home a lot,
yeah, and Mrs Keebler stillworks, right, so he's just
sitting there by himself, right.
(24:49):
Sometimes he's dying to get outof the house, yeah, right, and
I love it because he's reallygetting into this, well, he
probably again falling back to.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
He probably needs something to do.
He's not no social interaction,yeah Right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And I love it because I love Keebler.
Yeah, I know I love it that hecomes here Right and it's a dude
, Seriously.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I got to talk to another dude.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Oh man, it's like the best hours of the week, oh gosh
.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
But I get to sit there and podcast with him.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That being said, we're over time, okay, and I
don't know how much I have toedit.
