Speaker 1 (00:00):
So this is an interesting question because I'm trying to
figure out where else it would go, Because I mean,
if to me, this is very gender or specific. If
I were to ask you, where do you carry your phone?
If I were to guess, for you ladies, it would
(00:21):
be in your purse. Maybe I'm wrong, And for us guys,
it's in our pockets. I don't know where else we
would carry them. Like, what do you guys carry your
phones anywhere else other than your purse.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well, I have a primary spot in a secondary spot.
So the primary spot is the purse and the secondary
spot is my back pocket. So if it's not in
my purse like at Disneyland, you know, because I was
using the app so much this weekend when me and
my daughter were at Disneyland, I was constantly checking my phone,
so instead of putting it in and out of my
(00:55):
bag and you know, zipping it up every time I
went back pockets.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I see, I've seen a lot of gals do that.
Most guys don't go back pocket, but I've seen gals
do that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, what about you, Emily.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Same exact thing, guy, Right, my purse, like little purse
is second is first, and then secondary.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I don't know why we needed a whole study for this,
because I don't think this is that crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I do have a girlfriend. She's got very big, big cans.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
What do you have a picture? Because I don't know
what you're don't know what. I don't know what has.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Picture? Big jugs?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Okay, job, And I think that allows her to have
a bigger bra because I've only seen this. I've seen
this multiple times, but it's always from women with big jugs.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And he's tuned out. He's not even listening. I'm just
trying to figure out who your friend is.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, so she puts it in a bra always, like
almost always, because you have big jugs.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Yeah, I've seen the bra move as well.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I recently was on a flight I think this was
the last time I went to Oregon, and getting off
the flight, this one family was in a tizzy because
the like older teen daughter she looked out and know
like sixteen, couldn't find her phone. The whole family they're
like asking people to search the plane. And as they're
talking to the people to search the plane, I see
her reach into her top and pull her phone out
(02:13):
of her bra and go, oh my god, I forgot
I put it in my bra when I went to
the bathroom. So so the bra, it turns out it
is a spot as well.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Is a carrying spot Well, us guys don't have that option,
and so a door besides your pocket? Is there any
other space you mainly carry your phone?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
No? I just can't.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Fact Now, my wife is different though. She doesn't use
a purse and a purse. No, that's not a purse.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What does she have one of those little lemon bags
that we all have.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
She doesn't like that. She doesn't like carrying her things.
How does she have Like does she just her phone?
It has a case that also has like her cards.
I've seen that before, So she'll carry her She carries
her phone everywhere like.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Just in her hand.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, so she hasn't no bra.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
No, I don't think she's fucking move No, just like
when she's with her horse, she just leaves it on
her truck.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Oh mine, what does she do with the keys and
makeup and.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Make a bag?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Is everywhere? In my car, it's in her car, it's
in the backyard, it's in the sink.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
What is she like a person? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
She's not a purse chick. Never has been. She has
one purse and she randomly ever uses it. It's more
of a bag than a purse.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Like yeah, so, uh, my phone is almost always in
my pocket?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Which pocket? Left? Left? Your a left pocket?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You guys know I can't. I don't in my pockets
right right now as we speak. Look at it is
my wallet, that's the right sider.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
By the way, take your wallet out. Oh that's substantial.
Look at that. It's literally bit smaller than the last
one I had.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Look at that?
Speaker 7 (04:03):
You how big that things?
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I'm so Once they have driver's licenses on your phone,
I'm so close to never having a wallet, wow, because
I have my credit cards on my phone. Once my
driver's license gets on my phone, drivers didn't know that.
So I don't know why you have this giant wallet
and then all those keys and.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
My keys in my lefty with the phone, and then
the phone will go face towards my skin so that
the keys don't scratch it.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
But you have a cover on the phone right.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
The front of it. Yeah, but I don't. I just
just in case, you know, I don't want to mess around.
You don't want to mess about. I'm surprised you're not
a back pocket. Guy with the wallet. That's very old
school because I go back if I if I ever
wear pants, which is so rare.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Oh so you don't back pocket, so shorts front pocket? Yeah, wow,
wild it is.
Speaker 5 (04:56):

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Don't want to the wallet and you'll get sciatica. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
So your left pocket phone? Are you left or right?

walks around with that thing.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I wanted to get it. I've said I would never
have a fanny pack. I get all that, and it's
not it's a cross body I would get. I would
get the cross body one like Jamie has sport Yeah,

Speaker 6 (05:47):
I wanted to get a viewry one, but my wife,
my wife talked me out of it and said I'd
look like a loser.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
She's not a purse chick, so what was she to say?
Speaker 6 (05:56):
I was walking around the store with it to see
how it felt tough, strutting. Yeah, I was walking around
just like as if it was a part of me,
and she didn't feel right. I thought it was great,
but she thought everyone's gonna make fun of you. And
but it's so it's on trend and it's so convenient.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Do you have yours in your bag? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I've thought about going in that direction when when I
go to like Disney, really, because I got all my stuff.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
That would be I wouldn't I couldn't believe.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Me serious, look like, I couldn't believe Is it a
jan sport? No, that's all I want to wear.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Sorry, Okay, okay, let's see how this.
Speaker 3 (06:34):

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Okay. He is a cool guy. Look at him.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
You kind of you kind of look like Harrison Ford
Star Wars.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And now, and now, if you were to have to
go under zip to get something, do you feel cold?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Wow? By the way it works, What the hell do
you have in this? Skuy? It is you talk about
my my wallet?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Honestly? Is it like a brick in mine? Only?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Has my little tiny debit thing and then my phone.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's all I keep.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
All I would keep in their is my phone. While
at keys, that's all I would keep it.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I know there's no tampons in here, and come through
that chain. There's no makeup, right, No, no, you.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Don't have to say I got a full thing of
gum in there. I got a is it up? I
got some tissues, I got some hand sanitizer.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
My god, I got.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
My keys, a bunch of cards and money.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Okay, it's so heavy because there's a brick of gold.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
There's there's not a crickleble.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yeah, so I've found a lot.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Is that in your purse?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yes, she goes, cross body bag in the purse. Well,
that's what I do.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
You need so much stuff, man, So the big purse
one kid who's fifteen.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
The big purse has everything in it. It has my
tech bag. These are all just ziplock bags with things
in it. It has my tech bag, it has my
medicine bag, all of that. But then if I just
got to run into Vaughn's real quick, I just pull
this little guy out and here we go.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
But I have the same thing. But why the point
of that little bag is when you go to Vaughan's,
you just have your debit card and your phone in
there in your car keys.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
No, Like I was, why do you need all that stuff?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I was just anticipate, So I need hand sanitizer, I
need all this stuff at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
What the hell is this?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Sew a receipt from the lot?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Freaky or Friday? How fun? Why would that be in
your perse? I got all right.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Well, the reason why we're even talking about all this
is that they did a whole study on where people
carry their phones, and they really broke it down.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, and at the very bottom of the list underwear
five percent of people.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Now that counts bras as well.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
So bras, but also some people will put it in
the waistband of their underwear. So five percent is that
seven percent is a back pocket? Twelve percent I thought
this would be way higher. Is purse or merse or bag?
Is only twelve percent? Nineteen percent is like Eddie going
(09:08):
with the left pocket, and fifty seven percent go right
pocket like thor.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Wow, my right right pocket?
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Guy right in there.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I don't go for the phone that often.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's why I think I put it in my left Oh, well.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And now because you have your wallet in the front too,
Thor keeps the wallet in the back, so you gottah.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I don't know how with that booty. It's a very
crazy
So this is an interesting question because I'm trying to
figure out where else it would go, Because I mean,

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
