Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I tell you what. Kids
communicate through Google Docs more than they do in person.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's genius.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Yeah, I one hundred percent agree. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
They're using like shared Google Docs with their friends on
like their laptops or whatever to communicate with each other
while the teacher's talking kind of like a texting so
they don't get caught with their phones. They bring up
this Google Doc and they can share photos on it,
like we share Google Docs all the time around here.
So I'm like, oh, I could see how this works. Yeah,
And a lot of parents are like, well, they shouldn't
(00:30):
be doing that in school, you should be learning.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
But I think it's genius.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
It It has replaced the manual like passing of notes, right,
and it is really smart. And the kids will write
even in like white text so that it's hard to
even see that there's anything there, but you can highlight
it if you when you do want to see it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The platform is Google, Yeah, is it? Is it? But
it's on the school's Wi Fi and is are the
shared documents under the school like all of our stuff.
If we share anything here, anyone at work can see it,
or somebody from corporate or whatever can come in and
jump in and look at it. So I'm just wondering.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I think you have to be given access to it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Which anybody would have access if it's on the platform
that is managed by the company or the school. I
know what I'm saying. So I'm wondering, like, if a
principal can come in and go, Okay, I see what
you're doing here, Well.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Is every is it that? I don't know?
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Do they have that kind of access? Is it always
that accessible?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I think if they want it to be, I think
they can.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Sure maybe if they want it to be.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
But if you just have a document, especially, you could
in theory use a personal Google account.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I was wishing a little account.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Is that what it is? Or is it on something?
Because if you're going to get busted or if somebody
comes over looks over your shoulder they see the personal account,
then it's the same thing as texting, right.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, but you got to look really close to notice
if it's a personal or a school account. I mean,
you got to be like really up in the business
to do that. And I think the whole point of
this is it looks like you're sitting there taking notes
and so you're sitting there typing away quote unquote taking notes.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, like you in the morning, you use your computer
to text all the time? Sure to text. I can't.
I wouldn't know the difference. You're sitting across from.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, I mean it's not like sitting in your texttional morning.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But I can no, no, no, But you man't going
back and forth.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, yep, yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I can't have anything like right in front of me.
I have a board in front of me, so I
can't use my phone for most stuff. I have to
turn to the computer over here for the other things.
I always look for how you get caught before you
try the exercise, So that's why my brain goes there.
Like you would think that the school would have a
way if it's a shared document within some platform that
(02:41):
the school's using.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Is it advanced enough technology wise where the school really
does have access to it, Like I know in theory and.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Theory Wi Fi you can get anything.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I thought you had to be given access, Like if
I had a Google doc, I'd have to give you access.
But somebody in sales can't see it.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
They can't.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
No, but what I'm saying, is is somebody above them
that is in our company, that's on our outlook, that
manages what our passwords going into it and through it.
For iHeartMedia, they absolutely can access anything they.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Want if they have like an IT person helping them.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Absolutely, that's what I'm saying. If there's an IT someone
in the school, then they can they can see what's
going on right and the apps that they manage.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I don't think the schools are that extremely worried about it.
Maybe they are, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, text well mostly text any.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
I know, well a lot of times the kids will
have rules where they can't have their phones out, but
they can have their laptops out, so that's why they're
doing this, and they are able to like share pictures
and memes and links and all this stuff. And so
parents are worried about it now because it looks like
they're doing homework and you don't really want to micromanage
your kids. You don't really wanted to just stick your
(03:52):
face on their screen and see what the heck.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
They're up there. That's a parent. I think there's times
you have to they are your kids, and you got
a nose in I mean not to be. You don't
ever want to be overly suspicious and stuff, but you
want to be in their world and what's going on,
because if you don't, that's where trouble lies. That's all
of a sudden you find out, you know, there could
be something nasty going on. Put it this way, as
a parent, if you sniff something and it starts to
(04:15):
smile a little bit, you're typically right. You got to
go with your gut instincts. I'm not saying that you're
you know, be suspicious, because what relationship is that if
you're not trusting each other. You know, parents and kids.
You know, we always trusted our kid. I always tell
them I trust you one hundred percent. But there's times
it's like, Okay, I gotta go. I want to find
out how how many times a week you play Minecraft?
(04:36):
I mean, just show me, you know, what are you
doing all the time on the computer and stuff? Get outside?
I got to boot you outside. You're on it too much.
I mean, you gotta go get some sunlight for Pete's sake.
You just you still have to be a parent, you know.
But if your suspicious trigger goes up a little bit
and they start acting weird or whatever and that starts
going on, you have every right to go in and
jump in, in my opinion, to thwart something that could
(04:58):
be worse. Now, that's the pretty benign to me. I'd
be like, you get away with that in school, talk
to your friends school. I don't care. As long as
you get good grades. Doesn't bother me, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
If kids are getting good grades, it's kind of like me.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
If you're running a drug rowing out of the high
school or something. I got a little problem with that.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You're using Google docs and your Google spreadsheets to keep
track of all your transactions.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, yeah, you're not. You're not sharing the white powder
with your dad. We got an issue with that.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
If you're being entrepreneurial and making good money in high school, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Just saying, not that way.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
No, Oh, Johnny from fifth period, owes you money, we're
gonna collect.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Go get some busted me caps.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What's it for? Oh you're doing that too? You wait
till you just wait until that that little entity comes
out of you. Some of those little comments are just
gonna be Oh you're going you're gonna be of all people,
You're gonna just be the butt woman. You're gonna, I know,
you're gonna find out that kid's doing something wrong or whatever,
(05:54):
or treating somebody or whatever. It may be, even pulling
on pigtails with the girl in front or something. You
are gonna be whooping that. I mean, I don't I
wouldn't about physically, but you'd be laying the hammer down.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It's so funny because growing up, me and my siblings
didn't get into really any.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Kind of trouble because you're robots.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
But I don't I don't get it because my parents
it's like, I don't know, they did something some kind
of style of parenting where it's not like they beat
anything into us or anything like, but they put somehow
we had the fear of God in us to not
do anything wrong. But I don't remember them ever doing
anything to instill.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That the overwhelming realm of trust with you. Guys. Yeah,
at the same time, you enjoyed your freedoms and everything,
and you feared if you ever breached that that that
would go because you inherently knew that was going to
go away by the way they just spoke to you
and the way they I guess, for lack of a
better word, managed you as kids, as a family. I
see your family, I see it from the outside. I'm
(06:51):
definitely frightened of your mother. You know that already psychotic.
She's a nice lady. Story in the morning with her,
and you never dated her and I didn't either, But
it's just the stories of when she was dating. I mean,
that's just that there's a rhythm something going on there
that's out of whack. And her dad, yeah, I mean
he's a you know, he's an Italian dude from New Jersey.
(07:13):
There's there's an he's got something going there.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
It's funny because they'll give you all the freedom to
just make whatever decisions you gotta make and whatever, but
then they'll look at you like, are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
If you do something wrong?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That's not very twenty twenty five, But you don't want to.
Jesus basically said the same things to his disciples. He's like,
what are you an idiot? Yes? Yeah, I think he
used you. What are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
In certain cases, it's like are you not catching on? Yes,
I'm giving you parables. I'm trying to make it easy
for you.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
That was basically their style of parenting. Lets you run wild,
But then if you do mess up, It's like, what
were you thinking?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
What happened? It just was it was more natural day
to day.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, they did a great job with all you guys.
But you are robot. You're not so much the robot,
but your brothers are. Absolutely they're all the same guy.
They stand there, they look at you the same they
move like at the same time. They they say the
same things when you ask them something. It's like they
all talk and they talk very little. It's the weirdest
dynamic I've ever seen. You talk to all three. I
(08:16):
was like, Hi, Hi, Hey.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Maybe they're just like, hey, I don't want to associate
with people, so I'm just gonna say one thing at
a time, you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Know what I'm talking about. But yet they're animals too,
you know. They're they're they're funny. They go in and
they like work on cars, all three of them, under
the hood of a car, tearing a car apart. They're
just they're interesting people.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Eies.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
They're like the Borg. They're like one collective and they're
Niceborg though, they're really nice Borg. They're good Borg. They
go out to do good things for people. You got
to meet them. You guys, look at me like, you know,
like people listening, you know, people listening probably what the
world's are talking about. Meet Sam's brothers. Sometimes it's one
(08:58):
person in three bodies.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
They always pop up on people you may know for
my Facebook, and I'm like, oh, Madam's brothers, And I go,
is it weird?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
If I had him, I go, probably, No, that's not
weird at all.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You'd be fine.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It's like, nice to meet you. All their hands come
out at the same time. It's like we just we shake.
Like it's like where somebody's going to bat for the team.
It's like, let's go team.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's just like the same guy but in a slightly
different font just.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yes, myself kind of a calibri bold is one of them,
or a Calibri or collect what is that one? The
other one might be a little aerial, and the other ones.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It's those fonts that all kind of look similar but
technically different.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Corinthian or something. Yeah, that's the one. That'd be Shane.
He's the New Times Roman. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh no, would probably be Spencer because he's a finance guy.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
