Speaker 1 (00:00):
Before we do three things you need to do. I
got to I saw this thing on Reddit that it's
so funny. I mean, it's just really interesting how there
are some things in movies and books and TV shows
that romanticize things but in reality not so great. For example,
traveling Solo says, I'm sure some people truly find it
liberating and exciting, but I've never felt lonelier as what

(00:21):
someone saying or in TV shows and movies. When you
write a novel, people don't necessarily think it's easy, But
even when you're on a roll, it's the biggest timesuck.
It's not something you can squeeze in before work as
a permanent routine. Making love on the beach.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
SA gets in places.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's not at all how they make it seem in
the movies.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's terrible.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
A self sustaining family, farm life, It's practically impossible for
a lone family to achieve that. Starting a business. Everyone
talks about the freedom and potential money, but the reality
is constant stress, long hours, a ton of financial risk.
That wouldn't be fun to see in a movie.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, but I mean, how many movies are there's somebody
who's like starting their own bakery.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Okay, number one because the montage skips.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
All of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Number one on this list is running a cute little
coffee shop bookstore. Yeah time, I bet you picture yourself
having a cup of joe and chatting with someone about
a book with a man in a tweet coat. You're
never going to be profitable. But you don't realize until
two and a half years in. Oh no, right, isn't
that funny about how movies?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Tea?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Just like that, Hey, what are three things.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
We need to know?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
So Amazon realizes that they're losing business to the tea moves,
the Shean's, the fast fashion, the super super affordable websites
right now, and so they are switching things up, and
they have just introduced Amazon Hauls, kind of a play
on words because like if you've ever like followed influencers
and they're like check out my she and Hall and

(01:47):
they have like two thousand shirts that they just bought
for twenty dollars or whatever. So they're they're basically playing
off of that, and Amazon Halls will focus on selling
items for twenty dollars or less.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
The thing is is you.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Can't access it right now on like a laptop or
a computer. It's a mobile only experience right now. But
if you search Amazon Halls and you are on a computer,
it'll give you a QR code to go to Amazon
Halls on your phone.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's already upwards starting, it's.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Already up it's in its beta. Even at the top
of it. It says beta. And I started looking and
they do. They're like shirts for thirteen dollars, thirty dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I remember when I first discovered Wish. I bought like
thousands of dollars of.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Things every day. Every day something would come from you
from Wish.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
They have these really cool eyeglass cleaners.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
N I got surgery.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't need ice, I don't need reading glasses anyone.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
So, I mean, it's just a way for them to
compete because they realize, like Amazon's expensive now, right, and
so this is your chance to get some great deals
and you know, no, no guarantee on the quality. I
guess we should say Friday.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
This Friday is.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Stand Up to Bullying Day. We're all encouraged how to
learn how to stop aggressive unwanted behavior. You can go
to stop Bullying dot gov and explains the like the
three parts of bullying. It actually explains how to tell
if someone in your life is getting bullied, like unexpected
or unexplained injuries, lost or damaged clothing or other property,

(03:13):
check for changes in sleeping or eating habits, suffering grades,
sudden loss of friends, different certain things that you should
look out for, and then there's also advice on how
to deal with the actual bullies. So definitely a good
thing for all of us to get behind. If you've
realized maybe lately you've just been getting bored easier, Like

(03:33):
we've talked about this a little bit before, there's like,
you know, you look to your phone to stop from
being bored, but then somehow you're still very bored scrolling
through all the things. They say, people in general are
just getting more bored, and it is because of digital
media use. They say this has contributed to higher levels
of boredom because everything online is designed specifically, and the

(03:56):
alder algorithms are designed specifically to stimulate your brain. So
when your brain gets something you wants, then it wants more,
and it wants more and more and more and more,
and then you just can't satisfy your need for seeing
all the stimuli at once. So it's saying once again
We've heard this many times that if you find yourself
getting bored, more digital detox is what you absolutely need

(04:18):
to Off the phone, put the phone away, put it
in a different room, lock the room, tell someone to
guard your phone. Literally, give yourself a digital detox, and
you will start to find more joy in you know.
I guess the old fashioned.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
You got to practice a little bit, a little bit slow.
Here's what I do. So Stacy and I my wife,
we go to dinner a lot, and like if she
gets up to go to the bathroom, Normally I would
look at my phone. Now I try not to and
just look around and just sit.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
If I go to dinner my wife, I don't take
my phone.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh that's that's why it goes to the bathroom. I
just sit. I'm just staring at something.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's really healthy to do, though, it really is. I
mean it is.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's a very difficult thing.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
But if you can get yourself to do some sort
of digital detox move every day so you lessen your
use of it, it's going to help you in the
long run big time. And that's three things you need
to know
