“Sarcasm cannot be conveyed over a text. The number of times I've gotten into it with somebody, because I was being sarcastic and they thought they were being attacked.” - Dulcé Sloan
“Emojis are what have brought context back to text. If you can text me something and then end it with a little yellow dude with his eyes rolling back of his head, I'm like, "Oh, okay. For a second I thought you were coming for me. Now I'm realizing, we're on the same page."- Josh Johnson

show podcasts, hold Up, hosted by me and Daily Show
writer Josh Johnson. It's where we take our office banter
into a weekly war of words about topics big and small.
(00:22):
In this episode, we have one of our most fiery
debates yet. We're talking texting versus calling. We talk about
what's the best way to break up with someone, if
sarcasm can be conveyed over text, and why we need
different fonts instead of emojis. Tune in to find out
which side of the debate we each land on, and
if you like the show, check out the Hold Up
podcast wherever you get your podcasts. If you break up
(00:45):
with me via text message, then in my mind, in
my mind, you are twirling the end of your mustache.
You are dick, dastardly. I am tied to railroad tracks.
You thought of a bitch.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
That is so funny. Wow, Hey, everybody, welcome to Hold Up.

By do It Says Love, It's your girl, me the
smooth operator herself. Okay, I am a stand up comedian.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
The laughing. Don't get me wrong. I love your joy.
I'm always I'm always happy for you to be joyful.
But the steps and the levels to the laughing. Today
we're talking to the people about probably one of one
(02:18):
of one of the topics because on the show we
don't really get deep. We don't talk about world events,
we don't talk about huge serious topics. But today might
be the most serious we've ever done.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Because honestly, what this really speaks to is generations.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You know what I mean, And the type of friend,
the type of loved one, the type of communicator that
you are.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So it's how much time you're allowing to spend with someone,
how you communicate. And the topic for today kids is
texting versus calling. And you know it's some shit because
I'm the one that introduced it. Now I'm gonna give
y'all some time to choose, play the music, and we're back. Okay, Joshua.
(03:15):
What I'm not gonna do today is come for your neck. Also,
the coordination between your burgundy shirt and his burgundy hair.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Come all, I know, come other together. We make one
bad bitch. You mash us together.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Hey, if you see Joshua behind.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He I'm doing my best is a bad bitch.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know if you know about.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Doing my squats.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Squats, I'm also doing my squats. At the point these
squats have been doing must have been popping because another
comic asked me if I had a bbl wow, And
for somebody to ask me if my ass was purchased
when it was not mm hmm. That's a compliment if
I ever heard one. I don't care who you are.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, when it was homegrown, homegrown.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Just do a little squat things China, little shape a
little bit, so, Joshua. When it comes to text v
call in the Battle of the Century, Yeah, who.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Who you're running with, I gotta go texting. I gotta
I gotta go texting day one and day out.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What I'm not gonna do today, I'm not gonna come
for your neck, Okay, because this comes down to how
someone communicates. H And if you're communicating, then it's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah. Yeah, as long as you're trying to make your
feelings know, as long as you're trying to be an
adult about things than a we're all. We're all in
support of your effort absolutely, because people the thing I
will say, first thing I'll say of why I'm in
support of texting versus going. A lot of times some
people will say, oh no, I like to call so
I can get the context of the situation so that
(05:04):
I can hear their voice, so I can. A lot
of miscommunication can happen over the phone. You can catch
the wrong tone, someone wasn't meaning to you know, impart
to you. You can I mean, it happens, you could
be on the phone.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Are you saying that there's more misunderstanding on the phone
than there is with text messaging.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm not saying there's not more. I'm saying that it
can still happen.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm not saying it can't. What I will say is
because like, first of all, sarcasm cannot be conveyed over
a text. The number of times I've gotten into it
with somebody because I was being sarcastic with someone when
they thought you were being attactful, like.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
We need were you using emojis?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
No irregular lyrics?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Because the emojis are what have brought context back to text. Okay,
some of them.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Emojis don't make no sense.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Some of them don't make any sense. But if you
can text me something and then end it with a
little with a yellow, yellow dude with his eyes rolling
back in his head, I'm like, oh, okay, all right,
Just for a second, I thought you were coming from me.
Now I'm realizing, little dude eyes roll back, We're on
the same page.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Okay. Is there something that you think cannot be conveyed
via text?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I think, like, what subjects.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
What conversations can you not have be a text message?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You can't do breakup over text message? Okay, because because
with a breakup, Because this is the thing, the reason
that there is miscommunication in text messages is because now
I'm really trying to give me some give me some
slack here to try to explain what I'm saying, because
I I deeply believe this, but I've never had to
(06:49):
put into words. I just sort of live by it.
When you are texting a person, you're making them say
what you said in their head. Yes, which is why
people miss misunderstand people in text message, because they read
it with a nasty tone, even if you didn't mean
it nasty right, right, right, right right. What I think
(07:11):
happens with a breakup, I don't think it can happen
over text message because no matter how well and thought
out the text message is, and how long it is
and how kind it is, you might as well call
them and read that because I guarantee you, if somebody
is breaking up with you and they're texting it to you,
you're not going to read it the way they wrote it,
(07:32):
no matter what it is, because there's going to be hurt.
Yeah the fuck not. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
If if you break up with me via text message,
then in my mind, in my mind, you are twirling
the end of your mustache. You are dictastardly. I have
tied to railroad tracks. You thought of a bitch?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That is so funny. Wow, wow?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
If you via text message you're a villain? Yes, yes,
where are your henchmen? Who would you? Yeah, bastard? If
you break up with me via text message, the fuck
is wrong with you. I had a guy that i've
met was when I lived in La. I met this
guy at a bar. We were like making out and
then we were gonna hang out. He wanted to come,
(08:26):
wanted me to come hang out with him the next day,
but I was I had I had a bunch of flights.
I had a bunch of work that I need to
do because I was gonna be in the road that week,
and I'd buy like a bunch of flights. He was like,
we're gonna be at a bar for like two hours.
I was like, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
And I was like, okay, Well, I was like in
my mind, I was like I could go to this bar.
But I was always in the habit of like I
don't want to push off work to go hang out
(08:46):
with a boy, okay, because I had to get this money,
you know what I mean? Because I was doing what Josh.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Grinding, Yes, grinding, indeed grinding, and that that's the real
grind right there is that you sat sacrifice to grind
for a grind, bro, You know what I mean, because
you could have been out here grinding, living in sin,
making the beast with two backs, you know what I'm saying.
But you were like, no, I'm gonna do my work
grind all right, I'm gonna make the pages Russell, Okay,
(09:16):
whether I'm doing homework and I'm flipping pages, you know,
or whether I'm cashing checks and I'm flipping bills.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, airlines three hundred dollars at a time.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Jeez. Yeah, yeah, that's a real thing. We hope those
miles don't grind go.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
As long as they don't grind to a hot baby,
we are, right. Yeah, And he wanted me to come
hang out, and I was like, I'm trying, and I
was really trying to just I was trying to. So
I met him like a Saturday night. The next day
I wanted to hang out. I flew out Monday. He
flew out Monday.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
We really didn't talk throughout the week. I tried to
hit him up and he'd be like one or two sentences.
I was like, Okay, Friday, we both get back in town.
This fucker text me high Sloan. First of all, that
is not my first name. He gave me the most
thank you for your application Career Builder fucking text message.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah yeah, we went well, if you need a reference, right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
We can't provide it. You didn't work here long enough.
So I just was like, when I said high Sloan,
I was like this this is I didn't I don't
think I even read read the rest of it. I
was like, yeah, fine, but it was like he's like, oh,
you're you know, you're in and out of town a lot.
And I just texted him back. We were out of
town the same amount of days and we both got
back today. We could have hung out. And I was like, whatever,
(10:43):
whatever bitch you had on the hook must have activated.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Active face because you sent me this with a switch. Yes.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't know if if this if she finally filled
up with well, I don't know what happened. What kind
of magic rag and a fucking bowl of water and
this bitch was It just was like do do do do?
And then you became a full thinked woman. So like
that situation, I was like, yeah, this is this is fine.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, I mean I think that the thing that calling
has for me where I choose texting over calling.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You know, I'm team calling.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I know your team calling, and I feel like some
calls are so short that for the lead up and
for the conversation, it could have been a text message,
the same way some meetings could have been emails. There
are some calls that could have been texts, because if
you really don't have much to say to me, you
might as well text me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Most meetings can be emails, and some emails can be
text messages. Right, we all know that. Yeah, I prefer
calling because one I was born in nineteen eighty three. Okay,
I remember T nine text?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes, yes, where you really had to the fact when
people you knew somebody was good and mad when they
text you back fast on T nine because T nine
was for those that don't know. T nine would try
to guess based on your next letter. Yep, the word
(12:24):
so essentially what Gmail is doing now, but horrible like
it would be like you you want to send them
the word mayonnaise, right, and it's like I'm I'm saying
maym Have I even have the apostrophe up? So I've
never heard of mayo ase?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Right? I didn't know you could put down the postery.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So it was it was insane. It would be like,
you mean mayonnaise, right, and I'm like, I've never text
anyone mayonnaise and all.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Also, no one can spell mayonnaise, but the people who
produce mayonnaise, no one else is male. Yeah, the same
way you've never texted somebody congratulations. You said congra and
your phone said julations. You don't know the word.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And so I feel like that was T nine. When
somebody texts you back fast, it was either a real emergency,
hard hard emergency, or they want to murder you. I
remember my friend this. This It still makes me laugh.
So my friend was telling the story about how she
was dating this dude and she was she admitted that
(13:28):
she was fully out of pocket for this. So this
is like, this is this is a situation where everybody
knows what it is. So this isn't one of those
less debate on the internet that she's telling the story
and this is that. And she said she said she
was wrong, right this, So she was dating this dude,
this dude, and this is a texting versus calling situation too,
(13:50):
because okay, so she was dating this dude, this dude
pretty and he's so pretty it makes her a little insecure, right, Oh, I.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Hate those guys. It's because they make you say stupid things.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And so then he is just I'm pretty sure he's
just living his life. Like the way she told the story,
it seemed like he was living his life. Then a
woman commented on one of his pictures on Instagram. Right now,
the woman that commented on one of his pictures on
Instagram was like an X from two x's ago, so
like a third X. So we're talking about somebody who's
(14:23):
like just checking tests in the water whatever, right.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But she don't need to be saying shit, She.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Don't need to be saying anything. But if if you,
if you have a free and open Internet, you actually
can't control who decides to comment under your thing. Because
it's not like it's not like she found DMS. It's
not like it's not like he was doing anything. He
just posted something and then she posted something. Right, what
she said, She she just said something about him looking
good or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Right, Okay, so she tried it.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
She tried. So she tried and then he said thanks,
like he didn't say he wasn't like he said, yeah,
he said like he was uncomfortable. So he was uncomfortable, right,
but she saw it. She got so mad that he
even spoke to her in the thing, but also in
a public format like this isn't it. Once again, we're
(15:11):
not talking about dms. This is a public format that
he was like thanks.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
X.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
She flips out, and she is texting him hard like
she she says, she flipped all the way out. She
said that she just saw red and like, wasn't it
because also she wasn't like a full adult at the time,
so like we're talking about grown, but we're not talking
about grown grown, right, and so she's just seeing red
because I guess she already didn't like this woman or whatever,
(15:41):
and so now this woman sniffing around her man and
she didn't like her, and the dude responded to it,
albeit uncomfortably, right, But but anyway, she's like, my mistake,
My mistake was that I did call. First, I texted
him I was gonna kill him, and then I called.
(16:03):
So of course he didn't pick up. Of course, of
course he didn't pick up. But then.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Then then she started texting him more because he because
he would pick up.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I've been in this situation where this motherfucker won't answer,
and he's never gonna answer.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And so you you said you were gonna kill him first.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So well, one, you can only threaten someone's life in person. Yeah,
like I threatened my ex. Yeah, be for whatever reason,
and it's fine, but threats have to be done in person.
You can't threaten. You especially can't threaten over text message,
(16:53):
for Instagram, over written word, over things that are screenshotable.
You cannot threaten when the screen shottable. You can't threaten
over text message. You can't because you can't give the
police evidence.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But sorry, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I heard you've never met your grandparents? Do you want to?
Because you can't?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And so basically, yeah, that's a that's a situation where
she should have called, she decided to text, and when you.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Do it, you do the reverse of that. First of all,
you report her comment as spam.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Would you rather argue over text or on a call? Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
On the phone?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
On the phone, you think so?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Apps fucking lutely because of text message argument, Yeah, will take.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
All day, It will take all day. But I feel
like in a text message argument, I never misspeak. In
a text message argument. It takes me. It takes me
the time it takes me a type and then it
takes me the time it takes me to read it,
and then I send it. It's been super rare in
my life that I've text anything that I regret texting.
(18:18):
I've said a lot of stuff I regret saying because
now on the call, you're moving at the speed of
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Now, text message arguments do make you think about what
you were saying.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, because you gotta type out the whole thing. I've
backspaced many too far.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So many times I've been like, don't don't say that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah you want this person in your life, don't say
this right.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
There is the thing I say, is something truly ugly?
Does somebody be a text message? They can always go
back and look at it.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
They They can also you can't. You can obviously record
a person talking to you, but there's a special type
of like contextualizing you can do if you screen shot
a nasty text message. There's a thing where I think,
obviously you can listen to someone's voice and people can
make what they will of what the person was saying
(19:12):
mm hm. Because texting makes you read in your voice
in your head. I'm telling you, if somebody if somebody
sends you something truly profane and you screenshot that and
you put that whether you put it out for the
world or you show it to your friend, and you're like,
so they just text me this randomly, it seems ten
(19:33):
times crazier.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
No, no, no, no no. The best part of a text
message argument is I was going back and forth with
this guy I was seeing, and he was trying to
convince me that something he said to me before is
what he didn't say.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
For the year and a half I knew him, like
we were hanging out here to half almost two years
we hung out. We mainly I probably talked to him
on the phone like twice. Yeah, it was always texting.
There was one time where I had to he said
something to me. I was like, that's not what you said,
So this is what I said something. That's what you said.
So I was able to go back and go, this
is what you said.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
My favorite part of a text message argument is that
I can literally screenshot with someone's If someone's screenshoting what
you said and sending it to you, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Oh, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
There's I've never been in a situation where I had
to say to someone, this is what you said, and
they're like, no, I didn't, and then I have to
take a screenshot of our current text message thread and go, hey, dummy,
this is what you said, and either they will go, okay,
that is what I said or deflect. But I've never
(20:44):
screenshoted someone in an argument and been wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
You're forgetting that there are plenty of unreasonable people on
the planet.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'm not saying reason people. I'm saying that if I'm
to the point where I'm screenshotting in an argument, yeah,
to the person that I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
To, oh, yeah, that you have proof, I'm with you.
I'm just saying, I honor.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Please.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Let I've been in a conversation with someone where they
said I said something I didn't say, and then they
sent me a screenshot of the thing that they think
I said, and it's still not what I said. And
that's when I'm like, ah, I don't know what to
do here. I like, I don't. I genuinely have no
(21:25):
idea how to proceed because you're saying I said something
I didn't say, and your proof of me saying it
is still not me saying it. So now I'm like, ah, geez.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I don't like it when you're in the midst of
an argument with somebody and they're arguing with you about
the one thing and then you go, oh, you're hurt.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, like you you can't let this go.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, you can't let this go. Yeah yeah, And you
keep talking and keep talking, and you're like, Okay, I
figured out what the real reason you're upset is. But
you're like nah on and I'm.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Like, no, yeah, you just admit it. Yeah. If you're
if you're hurt about something in life, please just admit it.
You're gonna you're gonna get so much further, so much
quicker if you just admit it, especially if it's with
someone who you're like, if there's a person that's gonna
be in your life forever. So we're not talking about
(22:19):
the end of a friendship. We're not talking about the
end of a relationship. If this is like family, or
if this is a close friend and you're hurt by something,
just admit it. Just let just let it out now
and not three days from now, because because I've called.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Two years, two three years, ten years, yeah, ten fucking
years literally ten years later. Yeah, And I'm like, are
you fucking kidding me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, what is when
(22:56):
someone's upset with you for something that you didn't know
you did. I've been in text conversations with people that
became arguments and neither one of us knew how it
became an argument.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, it just morphs. It just slowly, like like things.
And and that's to your point.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I I haven't really had that happen while I was
on the phone.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's fair, yeah, because it. I think a lot of
things are perceived as slick in text everything.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Listen, we need click fuck all of these emojis. We
need more fonts.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I mean that that would be great. Listen. I can't
argue with that.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
If anytime I said something sarcastic it was in italics, yeah, yeah,
it would change our lives.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I would say. This is what I will say. Though
I've heard italics as the as the go to. I
think italics is for when you're being fancy.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh I knew it was what you were gonna.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Say when you're being fancy, Italics when you're being sarcastic.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I'm going to be sarcastic way more than I'm going.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
To be fancy, I know. But that's why they need
to add the option for the sarcocast one, and the
sarcastic one needs to be I'm gonna throw it out there.
A lot of people gonna hate this underlined comic sans.
I allow it because comic sans is ugly enough. I
allow it that you're like, oh yeah, what they're saying
is dumb, and they know it's dumb, so it needs
(24:19):
to be in a dumb font.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yes, yeah, well you're saying something serious.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Bold letters, bold letters, and a when it's on, when
it's on, if you if you putting it on your grandmama,
bold and underline, all right, oh god, if you're putting it,
if you're putting it down on everything, I love bold
and underline everything.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I love God, my mama, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Kids, yeah, my kids. Look, that's on my whole bank account,
all right, bold and underlined.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And that's on what period?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, with an extra tea.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
And that's how Mary had a little lam Yeah mmmmmmmmmm.
We're not we're not doing enough. It's like you're giving
us all these emojis. I don't need, don't body, I
don't need no more dancing. What I need I need
an eye roll, an emoji that actually rolls because I
roll emojess just like it's looking up. But that's what
(25:20):
gifts are for, Joshua, Did you know I was a gift?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What what I'm a gift? When it's me? Oh wow, yeah,
look at you.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
And I didn't realize you know your girls?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
The cheeks is sitting different if you know what I mean? Oh, God,
tell me more, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Oh just just basically, I think that texting broadens the
spectrum of people who can engage in good conversation now
because you have the ability to to wait until you
have something to say, you have the ability to backspace
what you were about to say, and you have the
ability to think, really really think about what you're gonna
(26:09):
say next. Doesn't mean it always works, doesn't mean it's
always spelled correctly.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
But I think folks thanking josh.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think that if you're on the phone and you have,
let's say, a crush on somebody right and you're nervous,
it's gonna be way hard to be suave or be
yourself or think about what to say next than if
you are texting them. I think that texting also if
you want, if you want to talk about the.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I'm not good at I'm good at flirting.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
On the phone or texting on the phone. On the phone, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now, when you say hold on, hold on, When you
say on the phone, are you talking about face time too.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, that's up to you. When you say calling versus texting,
are you talking about face time?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I wasn't talking about face time, but I think now
I'm talking about FaceTime.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, I mean, I think that different. It's a different animal. Yeah,
it's a different beast. But I think that there's something
to be said for here. I'll throw it out. This
is going to make it maybe too broad. Also, when
it comes to texting, you gotta throw dms in there.
People have whole DM conversations for the length of their friendship,
(27:21):
you know, on their favorite app.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I guess I would include dms Facebook messenges because pms.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Dms give more for better for worse. But I think
that sometimes for better, if you're interested in the person,
dms give more access. So it is a it is
a win for texting because dms, to a certain degree,
if there's an artist you want to work with, if
there's an icon you respect, you have the ability to
(27:49):
reach out to them and let them know.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So and see, and that's why I hate DMS.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I know, I'm with you that it goes both ways.
I just think that the the access that it gives
me to like reach out to people and let them know, Hey,
I really like what you make and I think that
you're great at it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I could not imagine the dms like I think, like
Chloe Kardashians like two hundred and forty eight million followers.
I only know that because I was just looking at
her Instagram yesterday. Imagine the dms she fucking gets.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, I wouldn't even go to that part of my phone.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's that's fair. That corner of the internet can be
left alone.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Because I have DMS that I get and I know
people there's first of all, there's no one being inappropriate
with me, and people don't believe me. I handed one
of like one of the comics. I handed one of
my guy friends and think it was like Matt one
of them my phone and they were like like, hey,
there's no Dixon here, and I was like, I told
you so. I don't know who these other women complain
it are, but you know what, once again, and I'll
(28:50):
sit it now, mind you. I was on E one
day talking about send me Dick pics and what my
friends was like, you got the wrong you were talking
to the wrong demographic.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yes, yes, yes, that was my If you're watching E
at ten am, maybe Bravo maybe maybe Bravo, but you
real me to go. Yes, yes, Spike.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Spike TV was still on the air. Yeah, is the
Esquire channel still on the air.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, you need to go to whatever whatever channel hosts Belatore.
All right, who Bellator is one of the MMA promotions
whatever channel host Belatore would be like, send me pictures
of your penis. I guarantee there would be thousands. You
might have to burn your phone.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I'm telling you you were on the wrong network at
the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, I'm on iHeartRadio right now. Oh, I get went
through the review of this ship. Well clothing out on
there was asking for Dick pick yeah what not?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, not to us. Josh, just just.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Look, don't send Josh.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Please please please, I've been through enough.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
But no, I do. I love getting a phone call. Yeah,
I because this is the thing, like somebody like sending
a text me, like but someone takes like when someone
calls you. That means they have the time. What I
don't like is if you call me and then tell
me that you're busy. The fuck did you call me for?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
That reminds me what time I was living in Chicago.
My roommate came in my room to ask you or something.
Forgot what he had to ask me for and just
start coughing, And I was like, you, so, you just
brought germs. This man walked to the room, had a
coll walked a room, cough, cough, cough, and he's like,
what did im here for? I was ready to strike.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
You should have been You should have left from your bed.
That was wild, like Santa going from roof to roof.
You should have left from that fucking bed.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, that's that you had just been healed.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, like Benny Hen himself swung his jacket at you
and you.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Benny would be hitting people with such expensive jackets.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Jackets, that's where the healing comes from. It's the threads.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
If the thread count on it is infinite, immaculate. If
they have not finished counting the threads on a Benny
Han suit.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
But just getting a phone call from somebody, just being
able to giggle on the phone with a boy. You know,
I like the little girl said, I love boys. Because
the thing is the phone saved us daring is we've
been in this panorama. I think we're Are we finally
out of the panorama?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Uh? It depends on who you ask, but sure.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Okay, because I know people can still catch that shit.
But the phone was saving niggas when we were in lockdown.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
The cell phone towers had never been so used.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Is clubhouse still a thing?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I don't know. They sent me an email yesterday and
I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, Like I feel as though the.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Conference call Clubhouse, the conference call up.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, there are all these groups, right.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
And it's not even on this phone because house party
felt House Party came and went so fast because it
was like everybody was like, okay, we don't need to
see each other.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Rob Hayes and Matt Richards used to do a torking
competition on UH on Clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
But you can't see video on Clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You had to make a clap on the air, so
it's a booty clapping common.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
How do you know people aren't just slamming an empty
sprite can?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's the point you don't so this showing this other
girl your name. We were the judges, and so the
biggest score, the highest score you could ge, would be
five peaches. And so basically you knew people were just
going You knew it was hands. We all know it
was hands. We were all living in this illusion that
this was booty cheeks clapping right yeah, and various patterns
(33:39):
and people would do it and it would be like
sometimes it was like, listen, I'm gonna give that a
peach seed because you wow, I'm gonna get that the fuzz,
like you just took a quick shave out the side.
But some people came through and it was just melodic.
It was rhythmical.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It was beautiful, rhythmical.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I didn't know you hated non word.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I think that this is my thing. This is This
is another reason that I think that texting wins out
is that when you make apps out of our two things,
texting wins you know.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
So clubhouse is just a conference call app.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And then part texting, Twitter's texting listen.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
As someone who has never understood Twitter as a concept,
as a lifestyle, as a label, as a movement, I
just I've never gotten into Twitter it's just too many
words for me. Okay, I guess because like when Twitter
and Instagram came out, I was like, oh, they just
broke Facebook in hand.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, it did feel like Facebook was already doing everything
that Twitter was gonna do. But now there's just a
different ecosystem that I think is is at play, where
even though Twitter is essentially Facebook now because now they've
allowed so much video on it, I think that Twitter
still sort of beats Facebook in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I have laughed from a text message. I've never laughed
as hard as I've laughed on the phone.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
M okay, especially if you're talking to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Most of my text messages are utilitarian. Okay, unless I
just met somebody. But for the most part, if somebody
texted me about a show, it's workshit so a show,
daily show, my manager, Hey, what are you doing like
catching up with somebody when you don't have time to call?
Like somebody called me the other day, I was like, Hey,
(35:36):
just seeing how you're doing. I'm talked in a while.
And if you if we haven't talked in a while
and you call me, oh, I love that because the
text message makes me go, okay, you're still not that
concerned that you haven't talk to me in a while.
You know what I mean, It's still not a thing
that you are really.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I think that I think of the text message. I
see your point, but I think of the text message
in a different way because I'm always someone who's a
bit self conscious about what other people might be doing
in the moment. And I think that sometimes calls can
be seen as a bit intrusive, especially depending on the hour,
(36:17):
whereas a text message is like all right, whenever, you
know what I mean, see.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
And I think we have to because they remember, like
you couldn't call anybody's house past like nine or ten.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, past ten for me.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
But I also remember where to send a text message
cost ten cents mm hmm. And I remember when my
friends with Guy's friends with. He was like, you texted
me and I was like, yeah, he said it cost
ten cents. I said, I'll give you a dollar and
we can have a conversation. But I remember like calls
being free after seven, because the calls are free after nine.
Everybody was talking so late they were like at seven.
(36:51):
But in the same way that like I remember as
a like growing up, anybody could show up at your
house at any time.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I gets you that you can't have the same type
of catch up on texting that you can on a
phone call. Like if you haven't talked in years and
they call you and now you're catching up and what's
been going on with you? All this stuff like that,
it's not the same in text message. But I will
I'll see that, and I will raise you that texting
(37:21):
is a never ending conversation. You never say goodbye in
a text message. You just say I'll talk to you soon,
or i'll talk to you tomorrow, talk to you later.
But if you look at a text message between two people,
it's the entire history of their relationship as it evolved.
Nobody says bye. That's crazy, Just stop texting me. Why
(37:42):
would you say bye? That's oh, that's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I can say when you're in this, like when you
meet somebody and you're in the talking stage, that's when
you're like, hey, i'll talk to you later. It's that's
where when you're in the talking stage with a new person,
that's where you say goodbye. And text messaging, yeah, yeah,
I've been texting you as long as I've had this phone.
And if you're doing something you'd be like, hey, I
(38:08):
gotta run or I gotta do this, but like you've
never been like, uh well, I'll talk to you nater bye.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
And I was like what is Yeah? Bye is like
very final, antext message. Bye is for enemies?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Wait? Who can I text it? Be like okay bye?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Like if you take if you text someone and you
just said goodbye, they probably give you a phone call
if they're real for immediately. Who has a phone call?
That's like, oh, why do we test this theory?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Who do we text goodbye?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
They see?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Uh? Roy, Roy? Where is that at work?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Text for goodbye?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Now? Is it just the word goodbye? Or is it
like it's been real goodbye?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
It's just the word goodbye.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Just the word goodbye. Okay, And I'm.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Gonna text it to him right now and we're gonna
see because also he has to take somebody you know
who always has their phone?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah? Yeah, Now should I do it too? Because you're
you're about to do it.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Okay, he just read it, Let's see what happens. See
what happens because he's an uncle, so he has his
read receipts on this dude I was talking to. He
got an iPhone and he didn't know what read receipts were.
And I was like, uh, sir, you talked to I
wanted to. I wanted to tell.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Him mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
But it was like, also he has too bid You
talk to too many bitches.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
You need to.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
You take off the read receipts. Because the day I
thought I saw him read something and he didn't, I
was like, I'll kill you. What are you talking about?
Roy ain't concerned already ready? He said, shiit. He said
a motherfucking thing. This sigaoy is not concerned at Oh
(40:11):
I am upset. That's why I give for me the
stroud black woman, son of a bitch nigga is not
goncerned at all.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Must not meant to text me a mistake. Oh gosh,
that's so funny. Stigare ship, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I'll miss you and goodbye, I'll miss he's not doing
he is not called. He was like, it must not
have been for me.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
The phone bustle GoF back of the pocket. That's wild.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
He didn't say ship. Oh god, Now what if you
texted to him and see what he does? I want
to see how fast? Because he read it as about sentence.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
This right here, This is why texting is better. You
get to know the score.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Even concerned, he didn't say. He was like, yeah, he rejors.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
He just read by it, so he read by two
minutes late. Dad, be nice and clean.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Huh he said, wow, he said nothing to me. Oh god,
see now the sneaker texted me. He said, huh wait,
did Josh send that to both of us? I sent
(41:55):
it to you. Why are you asking me about Josh?
Speaker 2 (41:58):
I'm I'm almost positive he thinks that got fired. Damn,
be nice and clean up.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, okay either wait, did Josh sit that to both
of us about it?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Oh god, he.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
Wasn't concerned about my welfare or nothing.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
I'm telling her what we're doing right now, just so
he doesn't walk up to someone in the building right now,
I'd be like, damn, you know they fire Josh.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Right, this is nonsense. Well let's kick it to the listeners,
because apparently Rovig, you don't love me as much as
I thought he did.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Jeezus, Well, yeah, let us know. You know, when it

You're listening to Comedy Central. Now, what's up Ere's edition listener,
It's Dulce Sloan, correspondent for The Daily Show. You're about
to hear an episode of one of our original Daily
show podcasts, hold Up, hosted by me and Daily Show
writer Josh Johnson. It's where we take our office banter
into a weekly war of words about topics big and small.
(00:22):
In this episode, we have one of our most fiery
debates yet. We're talking texting versus calling. We talk about
what's the best way to break up with someone, if
sarcasm can be conveyed over text, and why we need
different fonts instead of emojis. Tune in to find out
which side of the debate we each land on, and
if you like the show, check out the Hold Up
podcast wherever you get your podcasts. If you break up
(00:45):
with me via text message, then in my mind, in
my mind, you are twirling the end of your mustache.
You are dick, dastardly. I am tied to railroad tracks.
You thought of a bitch.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
That is so funny. Wow, Hey, everybody, welcome to Hold Up.
It's a big show about a lot of nothing. I
am one of your co hosts. My name is johsh Johnson.
I am a writer for the Daily Show and I
am joined.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
By do It Says Love, It's your girl, me the
smooth operator herself. Okay, I am a stand up comedian.
I'm also, of coursepriding on the Daily Show and what
I do the voice of Honeybee on the Great northumb Fox.
And I'm out here just chilling in the mall with
(01:42):
your daddy. You know, got a new hair, wrong, dealing
a cat shirt because you know, niggas got a stunt.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
The laughing. Don't get me wrong. I love your joy.
I'm always I'm always happy for you to be joyful.
But the steps and the levels to the laughing. Today
we're talking to the people about probably one of one
(02:18):
of one of the topics because on the show we
don't really get deep. We don't talk about world events,
we don't talk about huge serious topics. But today might
be the most serious we've ever done.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Because honestly, what this really speaks to is generations.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You know what I mean, And the type of friend,
the type of loved one, the type of communicator that
you are.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So it's how much time you're allowing to spend with someone,
how you communicate. And the topic for today kids is
texting versus calling. And you know it's some shit because
I'm the one that introduced it. Now I'm gonna give
y'all some time to choose, play the music, and we're back. Okay, Joshua.
(03:15):
What I'm not gonna do today is come for your neck. Also,
the coordination between your burgundy shirt and his burgundy hair.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Come all, I know, come other together. We make one
bad bitch. You mash us together.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Hey, if you see Joshua behind.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He I'm doing my best is a bad bitch.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know if you know about.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Doing my squats.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Squats, I'm also doing my squats. At the point these
squats have been doing must have been popping because another
comic asked me if I had a bbl wow, And
for somebody to ask me if my ass was purchased
when it was not mm hmm. That's a compliment if
I ever heard one. I don't care who you are.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, when it was homegrown, homegrown.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Just do a little squat things China, little shape a
little bit, so, Joshua. When it comes to text v
call in the Battle of the Century, Yeah, who.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Who you're running with, I gotta go texting. I gotta
I gotta go texting day one and day out.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What I'm not gonna do today, I'm not gonna come
for your neck, Okay, because this comes down to how
someone communicates. H And if you're communicating, then it's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah. Yeah, as long as you're trying to make your
feelings know, as long as you're trying to be an
adult about things than a we're all. We're all in
support of your effort absolutely, because people the thing I
will say, first thing I'll say of why I'm in
support of texting versus going. A lot of times some
people will say, oh no, I like to call so
I can get the context of the situation so that
(05:04):
I can hear their voice, so I can. A lot
of miscommunication can happen over the phone. You can catch
the wrong tone, someone wasn't meaning to you know, impart
to you. You can I mean, it happens, you could
be on the phone.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Are you saying that there's more misunderstanding on the phone
than there is with text messaging.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm not saying there's not more. I'm saying that it
can still happen.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm not saying it can't. What I will say is
because like, first of all, sarcasm cannot be conveyed over
a text. The number of times I've gotten into it
with somebody because I was being sarcastic with someone when
they thought you were being attactful, like.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
We need were you using emojis?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
No irregular lyrics?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Because the emojis are what have brought context back to text. Okay,
some of them.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Emojis don't make no sense.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Some of them don't make any sense. But if you
can text me something and then end it with a
little with a yellow, yellow dude with his eyes rolling
back in his head, I'm like, oh, okay, all right,
Just for a second, I thought you were coming from me.
Now I'm realizing, little dude eyes roll back, We're on
the same page.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Okay. Is there something that you think cannot be conveyed
via text?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I think, like, what subjects.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
What conversations can you not have be a text message?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You can't do breakup over text message? Okay, because because
with a breakup, Because this is the thing, the reason
that there is miscommunication in text messages is because now
I'm really trying to give me some give me some
slack here to try to explain what I'm saying, because
I I deeply believe this, but I've never had to
(06:49):
put into words. I just sort of live by it.
When you are texting a person, you're making them say
what you said in their head. Yes, which is why
people miss misunderstand people in text message, because they read
it with a nasty tone, even if you didn't mean
it nasty right, right, right, right right. What I think
(07:11):
happens with a breakup, I don't think it can happen
over text message because no matter how well and thought
out the text message is, and how long it is
and how kind it is, you might as well call
them and read that because I guarantee you, if somebody
is breaking up with you and they're texting it to you,
you're not going to read it the way they wrote it,
(07:32):
no matter what it is, because there's going to be hurt.
Yeah the fuck not. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
If if you break up with me via text message,
then in my mind, in my mind, you are twirling
the end of your mustache. You are dictastardly. I have
tied to railroad tracks. You thought of a bitch?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That is so funny. Wow, wow?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
If you via text message you're a villain? Yes, yes,
where are your henchmen? Who would you? Yeah, bastard? If
you break up with me via text message, the fuck
is wrong with you. I had a guy that i've
met was when I lived in La. I met this
guy at a bar. We were like making out and
then we were gonna hang out. He wanted to come,
(08:26):
wanted me to come hang out with him the next day,
but I was I had I had a bunch of flights.
I had a bunch of work that I need to
do because I was gonna be in the road that week,
and I'd buy like a bunch of flights. He was like,
we're gonna be at a bar for like two hours.
I was like, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
And I was like, okay, Well, I was like in
my mind, I was like I could go to this bar.
But I was always in the habit of like I
don't want to push off work to go hang out
(08:46):
with a boy, okay, because I had to get this money,
you know what I mean? Because I was doing what Josh.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Grinding, Yes, grinding, indeed grinding, and that that's the real
grind right there is that you sat sacrifice to grind
for a grind, bro, You know what I mean, because
you could have been out here grinding, living in sin,
making the beast with two backs, you know what I'm saying.
But you were like, no, I'm gonna do my work
grind all right, I'm gonna make the pages Russell, Okay,
(09:16):
whether I'm doing homework and I'm flipping pages, you know,
or whether I'm cashing checks and I'm flipping bills.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, airlines three hundred dollars at a time.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Jeez. Yeah, yeah, that's a real thing. We hope those
miles don't grind go.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
As long as they don't grind to a hot baby,
we are, right. Yeah, And he wanted me to come
hang out, and I was like, I'm trying, and I
was really trying to just I was trying to. So
I met him like a Saturday night. The next day
I wanted to hang out. I flew out Monday. He
flew out Monday.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
We really didn't talk throughout the week. I tried to
hit him up and he'd be like one or two sentences.
I was like, Okay, Friday, we both get back in town.
This fucker text me high Sloan. First of all, that
is not my first name. He gave me the most
thank you for your application Career Builder fucking text message.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah yeah, we went well, if you need a reference, right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
We can't provide it. You didn't work here long enough.
So I just was like, when I said high Sloan,
I was like this this is I didn't I don't
think I even read read the rest of it. I
was like, yeah, fine, but it was like he's like, oh,
you're you know, you're in and out of town a lot.
And I just texted him back. We were out of
town the same amount of days and we both got
back today. We could have hung out. And I was like, whatever,
(10:43):
whatever bitch you had on the hook must have activated.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Active face because you sent me this with a switch. Yes.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't know if if this if she finally filled
up with well, I don't know what happened. What kind
of magic rag and a fucking bowl of water and
this bitch was It just was like do do do do?
And then you became a full thinked woman. So like
that situation, I was like, yeah, this is this is fine.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, I mean I think that the thing that calling
has for me where I choose texting over calling.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You know, I'm team calling.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I know your team calling, and I feel like some
calls are so short that for the lead up and
for the conversation, it could have been a text message,
the same way some meetings could have been emails. There
are some calls that could have been texts, because if
you really don't have much to say to me, you
might as well text me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Most meetings can be emails, and some emails can be
text messages. Right, we all know that. Yeah, I prefer
calling because one I was born in nineteen eighty three. Okay,
I remember T nine text?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes, yes, where you really had to the fact when
people you knew somebody was good and mad when they
text you back fast on T nine because T nine
was for those that don't know. T nine would try
to guess based on your next letter. Yep, the word
(12:24):
so essentially what Gmail is doing now, but horrible like
it would be like you you want to send them
the word mayonnaise, right, and it's like I'm I'm saying
maym Have I even have the apostrophe up? So I've
never heard of mayo ase?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Right? I didn't know you could put down the postery.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So it was it was insane. It would be like,
you mean mayonnaise, right, and I'm like, I've never text
anyone mayonnaise and all.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Also, no one can spell mayonnaise, but the people who
produce mayonnaise, no one else is male. Yeah, the same
way you've never texted somebody congratulations. You said congra and
your phone said julations. You don't know the word.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And so I feel like that was T nine. When
somebody texts you back fast, it was either a real emergency,
hard hard emergency, or they want to murder you. I
remember my friend this. This It still makes me laugh.
So my friend was telling the story about how she
was dating this dude and she was she admitted that
(13:28):
she was fully out of pocket for this. So this
is like, this is this is a situation where everybody
knows what it is. So this isn't one of those
less debate on the internet that she's telling the story
and this is that. And she said she said she
was wrong, right this, So she was dating this dude,
this dude, and this is a texting versus calling situation too,
(13:50):
because okay, so she was dating this dude, this dude
pretty and he's so pretty it makes her a little insecure, right, Oh, I.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Hate those guys. It's because they make you say stupid things.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And so then he is just I'm pretty sure he's
just living his life. Like the way she told the story,
it seemed like he was living his life. Then a
woman commented on one of his pictures on Instagram. Right now,
the woman that commented on one of his pictures on
Instagram was like an X from two x's ago, so
like a third X. So we're talking about somebody who's
(14:23):
like just checking tests in the water whatever, right.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But she don't need to be saying shit, She.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Don't need to be saying anything. But if if you,
if you have a free and open Internet, you actually
can't control who decides to comment under your thing. Because
it's not like it's not like she found DMS. It's
not like it's not like he was doing anything. He
just posted something and then she posted something. Right, what
she said, She she just said something about him looking
good or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Right, Okay, so she tried it.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
She tried. So she tried and then he said thanks,
like he didn't say he wasn't like he said, yeah,
he said like he was uncomfortable. So he was uncomfortable, right,
but she saw it. She got so mad that he
even spoke to her in the thing, but also in
a public format like this isn't it. Once again, we're
(15:11):
not talking about dms. This is a public format that
he was like thanks.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
X.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
She flips out, and she is texting him hard like
she she says, she flipped all the way out. She
said that she just saw red and like, wasn't it
because also she wasn't like a full adult at the time,
so like we're talking about grown, but we're not talking
about grown grown, right, and so she's just seeing red
because I guess she already didn't like this woman or whatever,
(15:41):
and so now this woman sniffing around her man and
she didn't like her, and the dude responded to it,
albeit uncomfortably, right, But but anyway, she's like, my mistake,
My mistake was that I did call. First, I texted
him I was gonna kill him, and then I called.
(16:03):
So of course he didn't pick up. Of course, of
course he didn't pick up. But then.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Then then she started texting him more because he because
he would pick up.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I've been in this situation where this motherfucker won't answer,
and he's never gonna answer.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And so you you said you were gonna kill him first.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So well, one, you can only threaten someone's life in person. Yeah,
like I threatened my ex. Yeah, be for whatever reason,
and it's fine, but threats have to be done in person.
You can't threaten. You especially can't threaten over text message,
(16:53):
for Instagram, over written word, over things that are screenshotable.
You cannot threaten when the screen shottable. You can't threaten
over text message. You can't because you can't give the
police evidence.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But sorry, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I heard you've never met your grandparents? Do you want to?
Because you can't?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And so basically, yeah, that's a that's a situation where
she should have called, she decided to text, and when you.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Do it, you do the reverse of that. First of all,
you report her comment as spam.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Would you rather argue over text or on a call? Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
On the phone?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
On the phone, you think so?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Apps fucking lutely because of text message argument, Yeah, will take.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
All day, It will take all day. But I feel
like in a text message argument, I never misspeak. In
a text message argument. It takes me. It takes me
the time it takes me a type and then it
takes me the time it takes me to read it,
and then I send it. It's been super rare in
my life that I've text anything that I regret texting.
(18:18):
I've said a lot of stuff I regret saying because
now on the call, you're moving at the speed of
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Now, text message arguments do make you think about what
you were saying.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, because you gotta type out the whole thing. I've
backspaced many too far.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So many times I've been like, don't don't say that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah you want this person in your life, don't say
this right.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
There is the thing I say, is something truly ugly?
Does somebody be a text message? They can always go
back and look at it.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
They They can also you can't. You can obviously record
a person talking to you, but there's a special type
of like contextualizing you can do if you screen shot
a nasty text message. There's a thing where I think,
obviously you can listen to someone's voice and people can
make what they will of what the person was saying
(19:12):
mm hm. Because texting makes you read in your voice
in your head. I'm telling you, if somebody if somebody
sends you something truly profane and you screenshot that and
you put that whether you put it out for the
world or you show it to your friend, and you're like,
so they just text me this randomly, it seems ten
(19:33):
times crazier.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
No, no, no, no no. The best part of a text
message argument is I was going back and forth with
this guy I was seeing, and he was trying to
convince me that something he said to me before is
what he didn't say.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
For the year and a half I knew him, like
we were hanging out here to half almost two years
we hung out. We mainly I probably talked to him
on the phone like twice. Yeah, it was always texting.
There was one time where I had to he said
something to me. I was like, that's not what you said,
So this is what I said something. That's what you said.
So I was able to go back and go, this
is what you said.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
My favorite part of a text message argument is that
I can literally screenshot with someone's If someone's screenshoting what
you said and sending it to you, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Oh, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
There's I've never been in a situation where I had
to say to someone, this is what you said, and
they're like, no, I didn't, and then I have to
take a screenshot of our current text message thread and go, hey, dummy,
this is what you said, and either they will go, okay,
that is what I said or deflect. But I've never
(20:44):
screenshoted someone in an argument and been wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
You're forgetting that there are plenty of unreasonable people on
the planet.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'm not saying reason people. I'm saying that if I'm
to the point where I'm screenshotting in an argument, yeah,
to the person that I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
To, oh, yeah, that you have proof, I'm with you.
I'm just saying, I honor.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Please.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Let I've been in a conversation with someone where they
said I said something I didn't say, and then they
sent me a screenshot of the thing that they think
I said, and it's still not what I said. And
that's when I'm like, ah, I don't know what to
do here. I like, I don't. I genuinely have no
(21:25):
idea how to proceed because you're saying I said something
I didn't say, and your proof of me saying it
is still not me saying it. So now I'm like, ah, geez.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I don't like it when you're in the midst of
an argument with somebody and they're arguing with you about
the one thing and then you go, oh, you're hurt.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, like you you can't let this go.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, you can't let this go. Yeah yeah, And you
keep talking and keep talking, and you're like, Okay, I
figured out what the real reason you're upset is. But
you're like nah on and I'm.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Like, no, yeah, you just admit it. Yeah. If you're
if you're hurt about something in life, please just admit it.
You're gonna you're gonna get so much further, so much
quicker if you just admit it, especially if it's with
someone who you're like, if there's a person that's gonna
be in your life forever. So we're not talking about
(22:19):
the end of a friendship. We're not talking about the
end of a relationship. If this is like family, or
if this is a close friend and you're hurt by something,
just admit it. Just let just let it out now
and not three days from now, because because I've called.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Two years, two three years, ten years, yeah, ten fucking
years literally ten years later. Yeah, And I'm like, are
you fucking kidding me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, what is when
(22:56):
someone's upset with you for something that you didn't know
you did. I've been in text conversations with people that
became arguments and neither one of us knew how it
became an argument.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, it just morphs. It just slowly, like like things.
And and that's to your point.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I I haven't really had that happen while I was
on the phone.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's fair, yeah, because it. I think a lot of
things are perceived as slick in text everything.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Listen, we need click fuck all of these emojis. We
need more fonts.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I mean that that would be great. Listen. I can't
argue with that.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
If anytime I said something sarcastic it was in italics, yeah, yeah,
it would change our lives.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I would say. This is what I will say. Though
I've heard italics as the as the go to. I
think italics is for when you're being fancy.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh I knew it was what you were gonna.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Say when you're being fancy, Italics when you're being sarcastic.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I'm going to be sarcastic way more than I'm going.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
To be fancy, I know. But that's why they need
to add the option for the sarcocast one, and the
sarcastic one needs to be I'm gonna throw it out there.
A lot of people gonna hate this underlined comic sans.
I allow it because comic sans is ugly enough. I
allow it that you're like, oh yeah, what they're saying
is dumb, and they know it's dumb, so it needs
(24:19):
to be in a dumb font.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yes, yeah, well you're saying something serious.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Bold letters, bold letters, and a when it's on, when
it's on, if you if you putting it on your grandmama,
bold and underline, all right, oh god, if you're putting it,
if you're putting it down on everything, I love bold
and underline everything.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I love God, my mama, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Kids, yeah, my kids. Look, that's on my whole bank account,
all right, bold and underlined.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And that's on what period?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, with an extra tea.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
And that's how Mary had a little lam Yeah mmmmmmmmmm.
We're not we're not doing enough. It's like you're giving
us all these emojis. I don't need, don't body, I
don't need no more dancing. What I need I need
an eye roll, an emoji that actually rolls because I
roll emojess just like it's looking up. But that's what
(25:20):
gifts are for, Joshua, Did you know I was a gift?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What what I'm a gift? When it's me? Oh wow, yeah,
look at you.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
And I didn't realize you know your girls?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
The cheeks is sitting different if you know what I mean? Oh, God,
tell me more, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Oh just just basically, I think that texting broadens the
spectrum of people who can engage in good conversation now
because you have the ability to to wait until you
have something to say, you have the ability to backspace
what you were about to say, and you have the
ability to think, really really think about what you're gonna
(26:09):
say next. Doesn't mean it always works, doesn't mean it's
always spelled correctly.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
But I think folks thanking josh.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think that if you're on the phone and you have,
let's say, a crush on somebody right and you're nervous,
it's gonna be way hard to be suave or be
yourself or think about what to say next than if
you are texting them. I think that texting also if
you want, if you want to talk about the.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I'm not good at I'm good at flirting.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
On the phone or texting on the phone. On the phone, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now, when you say hold on, hold on, When you
say on the phone, are you talking about face time too.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, that's up to you. When you say calling versus texting,
are you talking about face time?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I wasn't talking about face time, but I think now
I'm talking about FaceTime.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, I mean, I think that different. It's a different animal. Yeah,
it's a different beast. But I think that there's something
to be said for here. I'll throw it out. This
is going to make it maybe too broad. Also, when
it comes to texting, you gotta throw dms in there.
People have whole DM conversations for the length of their friendship,
(27:21):
you know, on their favorite app.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I guess I would include dms Facebook messenges because pms.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Dms give more for better for worse. But I think
that sometimes for better, if you're interested in the person,
dms give more access. So it is a it is
a win for texting because dms, to a certain degree,
if there's an artist you want to work with, if
there's an icon you respect, you have the ability to
(27:49):
reach out to them and let them know.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So and see, and that's why I hate DMS.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I know, I'm with you that it goes both ways.
I just think that the the access that it gives
me to like reach out to people and let them know, Hey,
I really like what you make and I think that
you're great at it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I could not imagine the dms like I think, like
Chloe Kardashians like two hundred and forty eight million followers.
I only know that because I was just looking at
her Instagram yesterday. Imagine the dms she fucking gets.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, I wouldn't even go to that part of my phone.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's that's fair. That corner of the internet can be
left alone.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Because I have DMS that I get and I know
people there's first of all, there's no one being inappropriate
with me, and people don't believe me. I handed one
of like one of the comics. I handed one of
my guy friends and think it was like Matt one
of them my phone and they were like like, hey,
there's no Dixon here, and I was like, I told
you so. I don't know who these other women complain
it are, but you know what, once again, and I'll
(28:50):
sit it now, mind you. I was on E one
day talking about send me Dick pics and what my
friends was like, you got the wrong you were talking
to the wrong demographic.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yes, yes, yes, that was my If you're watching E
at ten am, maybe Bravo maybe maybe Bravo, but you
real me to go. Yes, yes, Spike.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Spike TV was still on the air. Yeah, is the
Esquire channel still on the air.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, you need to go to whatever whatever channel hosts Belatore.
All right, who Bellator is one of the MMA promotions
whatever channel host Belatore would be like, send me pictures
of your penis. I guarantee there would be thousands. You
might have to burn your phone.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I'm telling you you were on the wrong network at
the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, I'm on iHeartRadio right now. Oh, I get went
through the review of this ship. Well clothing out on
there was asking for Dick pick yeah what not?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, not to us. Josh, just just.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Look, don't send Josh.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Please please please, I've been through enough.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
But no, I do. I love getting a phone call. Yeah,
I because this is the thing, like somebody like sending
a text me, like but someone takes like when someone
calls you. That means they have the time. What I
don't like is if you call me and then tell
me that you're busy. The fuck did you call me for?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
That reminds me what time I was living in Chicago.
My roommate came in my room to ask you or something.
Forgot what he had to ask me for and just
start coughing, And I was like, you, so, you just
brought germs. This man walked to the room, had a
coll walked a room, cough, cough, cough, and he's like,
what did im here for? I was ready to strike.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
You should have been You should have left from your bed.
That was wild, like Santa going from roof to roof.
You should have left from that fucking bed.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, that's that you had just been healed.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, like Benny Hen himself swung his jacket at you
and you.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Benny would be hitting people with such expensive jackets.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Jackets, that's where the healing comes from. It's the threads.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
If the thread count on it is infinite, immaculate. If
they have not finished counting the threads on a Benny
Han suit.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
But just getting a phone call from somebody, just being
able to giggle on the phone with a boy. You know,
I like the little girl said, I love boys. Because
the thing is the phone saved us daring is we've
been in this panorama. I think we're Are we finally
out of the panorama?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Uh? It depends on who you ask, but sure.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Okay, because I know people can still catch that shit.
But the phone was saving niggas when we were in lockdown.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
The cell phone towers had never been so used.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Is clubhouse still a thing?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I don't know. They sent me an email yesterday and
I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, Like I feel as though the.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Conference call Clubhouse, the conference call up.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, there are all these groups, right.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
And it's not even on this phone because house party
felt House Party came and went so fast because it
was like everybody was like, okay, we don't need to
see each other.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Rob Hayes and Matt Richards used to do a torking
competition on UH on Clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
But you can't see video on Clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You had to make a clap on the air, so
it's a booty clapping common.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
How do you know people aren't just slamming an empty
sprite can?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's the point you don't so this showing this other
girl your name. We were the judges, and so the
biggest score, the highest score you could ge, would be
five peaches. And so basically you knew people were just
going You knew it was hands. We all know it
was hands. We were all living in this illusion that
this was booty cheeks clapping right yeah, and various patterns
(33:39):
and people would do it and it would be like
sometimes it was like, listen, I'm gonna give that a
peach seed because you wow, I'm gonna get that the fuzz,
like you just took a quick shave out the side.
But some people came through and it was just melodic.
It was rhythmical.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It was beautiful, rhythmical.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I didn't know you hated non word.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I think that this is my thing. This is This
is another reason that I think that texting wins out
is that when you make apps out of our two things,
texting wins you know.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
So clubhouse is just a conference call app.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And then part texting, Twitter's texting listen.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
As someone who has never understood Twitter as a concept,
as a lifestyle, as a label, as a movement, I
just I've never gotten into Twitter it's just too many
words for me. Okay, I guess because like when Twitter
and Instagram came out, I was like, oh, they just
broke Facebook in hand.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, it did feel like Facebook was already doing everything
that Twitter was gonna do. But now there's just a
different ecosystem that I think is is at play, where
even though Twitter is essentially Facebook now because now they've
allowed so much video on it, I think that Twitter
still sort of beats Facebook in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I have laughed from a text message. I've never laughed
as hard as I've laughed on the phone.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
M okay, especially if you're talking to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Most of my text messages are utilitarian. Okay, unless I
just met somebody. But for the most part, if somebody
texted me about a show, it's workshit so a show,
daily show, my manager, Hey, what are you doing like
catching up with somebody when you don't have time to call?
Like somebody called me the other day, I was like, Hey,
(35:36):
just seeing how you're doing. I'm talked in a while.
And if you if we haven't talked in a while
and you call me, oh, I love that because the
text message makes me go, okay, you're still not that
concerned that you haven't talk to me in a while.
You know what I mean, It's still not a thing
that you are really.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I think that I think of the text message. I
see your point, but I think of the text message
in a different way because I'm always someone who's a
bit self conscious about what other people might be doing
in the moment. And I think that sometimes calls can
be seen as a bit intrusive, especially depending on the hour,
(36:17):
whereas a text message is like all right, whenever, you
know what I mean, see.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
And I think we have to because they remember, like
you couldn't call anybody's house past like nine or ten.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, past ten for me.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
But I also remember where to send a text message
cost ten cents mm hmm. And I remember when my
friends with Guy's friends with. He was like, you texted
me and I was like, yeah, he said it cost
ten cents. I said, I'll give you a dollar and
we can have a conversation. But I remember like calls
being free after seven, because the calls are free after nine.
Everybody was talking so late they were like at seven.
(36:51):
But in the same way that like I remember as
a like growing up, anybody could show up at your
house at any time.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I gets you that you can't have the same type
of catch up on texting that you can on a
phone call. Like if you haven't talked in years and
they call you and now you're catching up and what's
been going on with you? All this stuff like that,
it's not the same in text message. But I will
I'll see that, and I will raise you that texting
(37:21):
is a never ending conversation. You never say goodbye in
a text message. You just say I'll talk to you soon,
or i'll talk to you tomorrow, talk to you later.
But if you look at a text message between two people,
it's the entire history of their relationship as it evolved.
Nobody says bye. That's crazy, Just stop texting me. Why
(37:42):
would you say bye? That's oh, that's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I can say when you're in this, like when you
meet somebody and you're in the talking stage, that's when
you're like, hey, i'll talk to you later. It's that's
where when you're in the talking stage with a new person,
that's where you say goodbye. And text messaging, yeah, yeah,
I've been texting you as long as I've had this phone.
And if you're doing something you'd be like, hey, I
(38:08):
gotta run or I gotta do this, but like you've
never been like, uh well, I'll talk to you nater bye.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
And I was like what is Yeah? Bye is like
very final, antext message. Bye is for enemies?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Wait? Who can I text it? Be like okay bye?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Like if you take if you text someone and you
just said goodbye, they probably give you a phone call
if they're real for immediately. Who has a phone call?
That's like, oh, why do we test this theory?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Who do we text goodbye?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
They see?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Uh? Roy, Roy? Where is that at work?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Text for goodbye?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Now? Is it just the word goodbye? Or is it
like it's been real goodbye?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
It's just the word goodbye.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Just the word goodbye. Okay, And I'm.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Gonna text it to him right now and we're gonna
see because also he has to take somebody you know
who always has their phone?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah? Yeah, Now should I do it too? Because you're
you're about to do it.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Okay, he just read it, Let's see what happens. See
what happens because he's an uncle, so he has his
read receipts on this dude I was talking to. He
got an iPhone and he didn't know what read receipts were.
And I was like, uh, sir, you talked to I
wanted to. I wanted to tell.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Him mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
But it was like, also he has too bid You
talk to too many bitches.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
You need to.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
You take off the read receipts. Because the day I
thought I saw him read something and he didn't, I
was like, I'll kill you. What are you talking about?
Roy ain't concerned already ready? He said, shiit. He said
a motherfucking thing. This sigaoy is not concerned at Oh
(40:11):
I am upset. That's why I give for me the
stroud black woman, son of a bitch nigga is not
goncerned at all.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Must not meant to text me a mistake. Oh gosh,
that's so funny. Stigare ship, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I'll miss you and goodbye, I'll miss he's not doing
he is not called. He was like, it must not
have been for me.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
The phone bustle GoF back of the pocket. That's wild.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
He didn't say ship. Oh god, Now what if you
texted to him and see what he does? I want
to see how fast? Because he read it as about sentence.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
This right here, This is why texting is better. You
get to know the score.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Even concerned, he didn't say. He was like, yeah, he rejors.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
He just read by it, so he read by two
minutes late. Dad, be nice and clean.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Huh he said, wow, he said nothing to me. Oh god,
see now the sneaker texted me. He said, huh wait,
did Josh send that to both of us? I sent
(41:55):

be nice and clean up.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, okay either wait, did Josh sit that to both
of us about it?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Oh god, he.

Wasn't concerned about my welfare or nothing.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
I'm telling her what we're doing right now, just so
he doesn't walk up to someone in the building right now,
I'd be like, damn, you know they fire Josh.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Right, this is nonsense. Well let's kick it to the listeners,

I thought he did.
