(00:00):
Hey, welcome. It goes bothways with Christine Steve him. So,
if you're a vander Pump fan,um spoiler alert, if you haven't watched
it yet, which I don't knowhow, but if if you have,
but you're going to learn some ofChristie's favorite moments or you're gonna hit that
like fifteen second forward button a coupleof times. Well, don't fast forward,
just go watch it and then goback to us. And then also

(00:20):
we're gonna find out what Christy saidto her mom that made her mom lose
it on her. It might surpriseyou, or it totally won't surprise you.
It's all coming up out of Itgoes both ways with Christy and Steve.

(00:58):
Actually, I do want to leadwith Tina Turner passed away when we're
recording this yesterday greatest song, whatLove Got to Do? Got okay?
It okay? You're an absolute sidea fan. Oh yeah, there's so
many more, it says she has, like you're literally just saying that because

(01:22):
of the movie. I also justbecause I wanted to be able to sing,
because you've made it very clear,like our son last week he had
a big choir performance, right youknow. End of the Year performance,
and I don't think that he mouthedthe entire thing, but oh no,
he says he does. He sayshe does. He lip synced all of
it, which is in total totallydifferent than me, because I don't know

(01:45):
what it was like to be partof the choir because most of the time
of you, the better photos Iwas what here it is? I was
carrying the load. I was soloing, all right, my tenor voice.
There's multiple pictures of me with carnationson my my breast, your lapelle,
my lapelle, and oversized glasses,my dad's glasses, singing everything from Tears

(02:07):
in Heaven to the Rose. Theyactually did ask me to solo the Rose
by Bett Midler when I was insixth grade. And so what was it
like to peek at twelve years old? Just asking welcome? It goes with
ways Christie and Steve Hi. Ionly brought up to your Turner also because
I met that piece of shit,the O. J. Simpson of music,

(02:31):
Ike Turner, when I was Wow, twenty two, I've met that's
a random fact. How would youhave met Ike? I met both Ike
Turner and the other douchebag fuck faceMichael Jackson's father. Back in the day,
Joe Jackson, I met Ike Turner. I was leaving the radio station
I worked in and it was ina bank building, and I still remember.

(02:52):
We got all the way downstairs andwe went through the revolving doors in
front of ahs BC Plaza and asI walked out, the guy worked with
girls. I turned, Hey,why was he there? He was there
because he was also a jazz musician. This is obviously that later in life,
and he was at the radio stationto promote his show whatever. Yeah,
And then years after that, Iwent to Las Vegas on radio row

(03:16):
and I was like hanging out withone of the guys and suddenly Joe Jackson
showed up. Oh I remember that. Yeah. With part I'll always remember
is that his eyebrows weren't real,they were actually like painted on. Well
that's what actually, it's called laminating, and that's what that's what all the

(03:36):
kids are doing now, Okay,all the influencers, they're laminating their brows.
Laminating. So maybe Joe Jackson wasan innovator. And on the topic
of Joe Jackson and then meeting famouspeople, which I know that we've na
drop drop I'm totally going to becauseI also met Carrie Fisher ones and this
is what the radio station when wewent to a Princess Leia. What fun

(03:58):
it was with Dave and Lena andI and Princess Leiah came in and she
had a dog with her. Ithink it was during one of those times
where things weren't going as well withher mentally. Okay. The best way
I can describe it is like whenyou go into a restaurant and there's someone
that's acting in a way that's notright. But they're not doing anything illegal,
but they're acting strange. Why wasshe there? I don't remember what

(04:21):
she was doing there. I meanshe was there to promote something. I
don't remember what it was at all. Tea Turner, she's the queen.
I get it. I grew upwith her and Oprah singing together on the
Oprah Show. Okay, Okay,So if that's your memory of her,
you are still a pup. OhI am still a pup. You are,

(04:43):
sweetie. We can tell why wein our marriage, why we sing
rolling down the River every once ina while. Okay. Anyway, we're
not promoting violence, Steve, especiallyespecially after you know the killer clown episode
that you did last week. Youhave a lot of issues with last week's
episode. Well, I want togive a quick shout out thank you.

(05:04):
I got so many responses from peopleafter that shit show, and so I
just want to say you know whoyou are. Thank you to everyone that
validated my dark passenger. Oh okay, and I appreciate you, and don't
yeat yourself. How are you feelingafter super Bowl two? Because every the

(05:25):
last two wednesdays we would have talkedabout it last week but we didn't do
an episode. But the last twowednesdays, around six o'clock, you start
bubbling. There's like this bubble,just like the bubbles in your zip.
Fandel. All right, Fandel,you know already seventy five Okay, I'm
absolutely still high from it. Lastweek's vander Pump Rules finale was the appetizer

(05:51):
to the entree that was last night'spart one of the reunion. Okay,
this is the only thing I wantto say is that you made me watch
the very last episode. I saidI didn't want to watch it, but
I sat down with you last Wednesday. I watched it. It was obviously,
you know, give the popcorn,get me the milk duds, all
that kind of shit, right.The most preposterous part is like when they

(06:13):
were talking about like the cheating,It's like, what were they high on
Molly at Coachella? There was aline like that. And then there was
another line that was so just ridiculous. Oh, the girl saying that she
couldn't hit somebody because her nails wereYeah, okay, she said it was
physically impossible for her to make afist to punch someone. So I watched
the very last episode and then youwanted me to watch the reunion, which

(06:38):
is now a three part reunion episodesof that. I just I am just
glad to know that I have somethingto occupy my time for the next three
weeks. Yes, exactly, likeI'm set. You don't have to pay
attention to me, you don't haveto acknowledge me. I'm good for three
weeks. You have a lot offeelings. I just wanted to break down

(07:00):
some of the highlights because there weremany. Well, I think, Okay,
if you're listening to the show andif you watch vander Pump, do
you have conspiracies? Do you havethings that are just your favorite moments?
What I would say highlights. Ohso these are the highlights for you?
Yes, well for most people,Steve, Okay, it's kind of a
big deal. Okay, so theseare some of Christie's they're they're breaking records
for viewers. Yeah, look itup. It's fact. So all right,

(07:27):
give it just so we'll say,like, go ahead, fast forward,
you know, a minute and ahalf. If you have zero interest
in vander Pump. But if youare a Vanderhead, all right, if
you're a d if you're a pumpand up, buckle up. In three
two vander Go Part one, Rachelwatching on because she couldn't be in the

(08:13):
room with Shena because of the restrainingorder, so she had to watch the
first half of it of the tapingfrom her trailer, and so the camera
crew kept panning out to her watchingwhat was happening inside the buildings, and
she was like literally trailer trash,like just sitting there and she kept rolling

(08:35):
her eyes. Everything. It wasjust you wanted to reach the screen and
punch her. Number two. Everyreunion. Lisa, who sort of like
a orchestrator, you know, namesakefor the show. She always has like
a mama words of wisdom whatever,bullshitty thing to say. So she tried
to do that last night and LaLa actually like stood up to her and

(08:58):
clapped back. Was sort of likea little bit, So that was cool.
Number three James yelling at Sandoval forcrying so much. He kept calling
him like a wossy pussy or something. Who cares something British. Yeah,
And all of a sudden and Idon't know if it's creative editing, but

(09:18):
who cares. Sandoval's voice like jumpedright back, so like one second he
was like and then all of asudden, he's like, so I wanted
to apologize, like just flipped ona dime because he's a bad actor.
He's a bad actor. I knowthat, Like you've been trying to act
for fifteen years in LA because that'show they all got started working as sir,

(09:43):
maybe give it up. Maybe he'sdoing he's doing okay, just being
a shit I guess yeah. Yeah. The next one, which is probably
my personal favorite, is James gotout of his chair to attack Sandoval,
and Andy Cohen stood in the way, is like a buffer, and DJ

(10:03):
James Kennedy knocked into Andy, whichsent all of his like talking point note
cards flying everywhere, and so there'slike a fight going on and Andy's just
staring at the ground. Oh butmy cards, and he sounded so sweet
and just absolutely defeated, and he'slike, my cards. As soon as

(10:28):
we're done taping this podcast, weare, oh no, we are going
up to watch the Peacock version,which is uncensored. All of the swears,
all of the see you next Tuesdays, all of the B words version.
Because you met you literally made mewatch a part of it on the
walk and of course on the showwhen it's edited and it's moving along,

(10:50):
right, do it? But thenon stop, the yelling part, to
talking over each other, talking andmore yelling part. I would think that
you would like your generation should shouldbe okay to receive that, given that
you grew up with Jerry Springer.Yeah, sure, I don't mean that's
whatever it like Jerry Springer. Inever liked all that stuff. That stuff
is so annoying to me that Ican't take it. Okay, that's so

(11:11):
I have no problem. Plus,I can't waste more of my life on
the show. I like making funof it, and I can I can
see how it's entertaining it. Momentslike I'd never really realized before. When
they play like the show, likethe intro, like the theme song.
Yeah, and they all turn slowmotion their drink pouring all over the ground.

(11:33):
Is that them winking at the camerasaying we're fucking around because it's so
ridiculous. I challenge you to goand watch two episodes of season one vander
Pump and you'll get how absolutely groundbreakingit was. Okay, but like it

(11:54):
made the hills just look like adumpster which came first? Actually the hills
came first, for sure? Didit? Because the hill so the hills
walk, so Vanderpump could run,oh a thousand percent. Yeah, go
back and go back and watch acouple of the episode because and you'll understand,
because Okay, I don't know whatyou mean when you say that,
you'll go, I understand, Well, you just explained to me what I'll

(12:16):
understand then, like the theatrics ofthe intro for example, like what you
were just talking about, like,because it'll all come together for you.
So it's basically, in other words, you're saying that they're it's winking,
we're saying we're fucking ridiculous. No, No, it's just it's a cinematic
masterpiece. You're still not answering myquestion, Like I don't understand. So

(12:39):
we had our own drama the otherday also, we um, I had
can I can I just do thecliffs nose version? And then you jump
in with the details because thank godI wasn't there in person. Um,
we've spoken on the show before.Just it's it's a really sensitive age for
Olivia and she's getting into bullshits withher friends and it's just like really amping

(13:03):
up. Now she's been excluded fromfriend groups for whatever, who cares what
reason? And so over the weekend, you were invited to go to Lick,
a little hangout sash with the parentsof the other kids. Yeah,
and so a situation and I don'tknow if I had to do with cocktails

(13:26):
or not, like influenced by buta situation kind of presented itself and you
actually pulled a Christie like I didn'tgo for that reason, Like I didn't
want to have a wine or twoand then and get mouthy and get mama

(13:46):
bear, like, let me tellyou something. But I didn't have to
because you kind of did that.Now you're making it sound like I did
something underneath the influence, and Iwant to make sure that I didn't do
anything under the influs of alcohol.I did do something because it basically two
people tried to two of Olivia's likegirls that she knows, basically tried to

(14:09):
ditch her. And I watched themdo it, and then I said to
him, I said, why don'tyou have Olivia go? And they said,
oh, she doesn't like dogs orshe doesn't like our dogs, and
I said, that's not true.You're and they were ditching her. They
lied to me. And then Iresponded by saying basically like Karma, like,
how would you that make you feel? And she said to me sorry,

(14:31):
She said, oh, I wouldn'tcare if I was ditch basically,
and I said I don't think that'strue. And then I was like Karma,
right, Karma, because you reallyBut I want to want her to
say, is you're fucking kidding me? The fuck's your problem? That's what
I wanted to say. Okay,so good job for having a filter and
not swearing at a thirteen year old. So then I went downstairs and that's
what I really had. My momentis I went down the stairs back outside

(14:54):
by the bonfire, and I saidsomething to the mom, which I don't
cause you approach the parents. Andthis is the part. This is the
part where I said, you knowthat you didn't know know that you did
the thing. Yeah, yeah,yeah, by approaching the parents. So
I did the thing. I wentdown, I said something to them,
and then I said to like Mikeythat said let's go, relieving and they're

(15:15):
like, what's that. I'm like, yeah, lets us go, We're
gonna go. Because you were fedup. Yeah, I was pretty irritated
by it. Which I'm gonna pauseyou just for a second. You were
texting with me a lot of thattime, just like kind of filling me
in, and she's like, ohmy god, guess what's going on.
Guess what's so and so just saidwhatever the play by play. And I
have to give you a lot ofI have to give you a lot of

(15:39):
credit because there's been a lot oftimes where I, you know, in
our past with the children, Isort of felt like I was more making
up a word right now, butlike impassioned as far as like protecting them
and sticking up for them and whatever. And so because you took on that
role in that moment, I feltso nice and I even texted you that

(16:03):
I was I was proud, Iwas happy. It made me feel so
good that you were defending our daughter. Well because I think in that moment
it was easy for me to defendbecause I could actually see the behavior that
was not right friendly, And eventhough like she didn't, they didn't actually
direct it in that moment at Olivia, it was still I was there.
It was a shitty thing. Itwas a shitty thing. So what That's

(16:26):
the other thing is I did endup going back to this bonfire and I
talked to like the like the dadsabout it, not really the moms,
well, because that would be weird. Dads don't know all the things well
because they're just kind of floating ina cloud. Right. Yeah. Well,
I don't want to say I'm nottrying to downplay dads, like I'm
not at all, and I knowthat that's how it came off. But

(16:48):
for the most part, when itcomes to children and the emotional awareness of
what's going on on a day today basis falls on the mom a lot
of times, say more times thannot. Right, So then the dads
are sort of like, oh,Susie's being a bitch. I had no
idea. Well, or they haven'ttalked in eight months, I had no
idea. I think the bigger thingis that for me is that I also

(17:12):
don't want it to make it soundlike I think that my child is perfect.
Oh of course not. We talkedshit about our kids all the time.
Yeah, but like like after youlike, I basically just you know,
confronted someone else's kid, which Iyou know, I said to my
friend, like the dad, Iwas like, if my daughter was doing
something that was shitty or just kindof weird or not like acceptable, like

(17:33):
ditching people, do you know whatI mean, like blatantly do something that
you know is going to hurt someone'sfeelings exactly. Yeah, like you're blatantly
excluding them and you're not even tryingto hide it. Because here's the thing,
I knew that the moms had saidsomething to the daughters. The only
reason I like that night that night, yeah you told me, yeah,
okay, um. And then becauseOlivia called me crying because she's like I

(17:56):
want to go home, yes,yeah. And then but and that was
again but that's where our But thenwhen I said to Olivia, let's go,
she was like, no, Iwant to stay because she was like
sitting by the fire with the parentsat that moment. Yeah, I know
that my kids aren't perfect. I'mhoping that I did the right thing because
like maybe not right now, theyknow that, yeah, but like I

(18:18):
showed, like here's where I understandthe line is, like I said something
to them. I said, Ithought it was unacceptable, and I did
and I walked away. But ifmy child, Isaac or Olivia did something
shitty, yeah, in whatever vein, I would hope that a parent would
say that to them. Well,because our kids are not only shitty,

(18:40):
shitty shit bang things in the futurewell absolutely past present, future, right,
I mean, that's just that's that'show life is. Unfortunately, my
thing is me as a person,I would feel compelled to apologize, like
on behalf of my kids shitty nature. So fine, they're gonna do it.

(19:03):
Everybody knows that. But once theydo, maybe I'm being overly sensitive
about it, but I would belike I would be embarrassed, and I
would and I would apologize to whoeverneeded to be apologized to. I would
apologize to the the kid like Olivia, I'm sorry, Susie did that.

(19:25):
That's not cool. I'll talk toher about it, or I would apologize
to the you know, because yeah'sapologize to me. But I'll sure like
if they should apologize to her,because no, I'm saying, don't don't
take it somewhere else. I'm justsaying in the moment, because yeah,
I don't want to get that deepwith it. But um, there there
was a moment that that could havehappened. Who cares? Moving on,

(19:48):
I just I would have I wouldhave like sent a quick like recovery text
message is our counselor calls it andand just said, hey, I'm sorry
about like last night. That sucks. Hopefully we can get on the other
side of this or whatever the hellyou know what I mean. Yeah,

(20:08):
I mean that's where again we weretalking about our child being like a victim
and air quotes. But then she'salso the criminal because just today she's saying
how much she hates you. Okay, like I said a few moments ago,
hit rewind, we talked shit aboutour kids all the time, not

(20:30):
putting them on pedestals in the leastlittle bit. So my little delight,
my little apple of my eye gotpissed at me about something. Who cares?
Oh? Because she I wouldn't lether lay in bed like we have
this awful routine that's Groundhog's Day everysingle morning where I will go in and

(20:52):
I will say, hey, Bud, time to get up because she she
can't wake up to an alarm clockyet for some stupid reason, or she
won't. I don't want to sayshe can't. Yes, I don't want
to say she can't. She's capable. But part of our awful, unhealthy
routine is that her and I dothis tap dance routine in the morning,
or I have to shake her andI have to like stick my finger in
her ear, or I have tolike tickle her face or whatever until she

(21:17):
starts laughing or gets pissed at me, and then she gets up and then
or she'll wake up, and thenshe'll lay in bed for twenty minutes and
then she'll make Isaac late, andthen I have to listen to Isaac in
whatever Groundhogs Day. So Isaac wason one about something. He was crying
in his bedroom. I hate mylife, he was. He was in

(21:38):
a moment, and so I justsaid to Olivia, please don't do the
tap dance this morning. I can't. I can't do it like you you
can't both tag dam me, Like, just give me one kid that's fucking
acting nice. And so something happened, a light switch flipped, and she
decided to jump on the shit wagonas well with her brother, and so

(22:00):
then one thing led to another,and then it's just like, like,
you are the reason why I'm goingto have childhood trauma. And she said
it, and I'm gonna trade.That's what she said to me. And
she goes, I'm gonna teach orshe goes, I'm going to talk to
my kids differently because you're so disrespectfuland you're this and you're that, and

(22:21):
I hate you and I'm going tobe a better mom than you and all
of this stuff. And I'm justlike wow. So I'm sitting there just
taking it on the chin because anythingI say in that particular moment is absolutely
going to bounce off of her.She has no idea, like she's not
going to receive it at all.No, I mean that's what she is.

(22:44):
She's horrible, Okay when these thingshappen. Yeah, the things that
the things that she's saying is horrible. Yeah. Um, which led me
to think, is it my badparenting that she's talking to me in this
way or is it just a riteof passage? And I'm like, what's
the worst thing I ever said tomy mom? Like when I was at

(23:07):
shitty age, I have one example, because I was afraid of barb.
Like, she never made me afraidof her. I just was like,
I was afraid of consequences or whatever. So I didn't mouth off to her
until later in life, until Iwas a grown I know that I did.
She slapped me one time. Ever. It was in the minivan going

(23:29):
down a hill near a leak on. She slapped you while she was driving
that'ress. It was crazy because Ican tell the exact spot she had that
mom go go gadget arm and she'slike, I was sitting next to her,
okay, because I in my mind, I don't think I did.
But in my mind, she slappedme and my face hit the glass window

(23:52):
red Astro minivan. That's an exaggeration, but it doesn't matter because she definitely
did, and then she felt reallybad afterwards. But I definitely said something
fucked up enough to make her hityou, to make me, because she
never like not even like spanked meany of that kind of stuff. Yeah,
but Barbe and I were fighting aboutsomething. This was probably oh my

(24:15):
god, you okay, you reallyhave a sick fascination with horse camping.
But well this for another time,right, So Barbe and I were arguing
about something I could drive in thismoment, like so, I was a
little bit older of a ship head, and so I remember she gave me
this locket had like my initial onit or something. It was like a

(24:37):
birthday gift and it was really special. And I remember in this fight,
ripping it off my neck and throwingit at her. And then we started
chasing each other around, just likescreaming at each other, you know what
I mean, or like following eachother around, like like you walked in
the hallway and she'd be like,well this yeah, and then exactly,

(25:00):
it just kept escalating and escalating,and so I hit my breaking point and
I was like, you're a fuckingbitch, and she stopped everything. It
was the matrix, Everything was inslow motion. She got nose to nose
with me, and she didn't haveto say anything. I knew. I

(25:23):
knew that I fucked up real bad, and I blacked out. I don't
remember what happened after that, butI remembered that I didn't ever say that
to her again. Yeah, ofcourse he didn't say that again. Yeah,
you've said other screwed up stuff,but you know that's part of your
guys as a relationship. But withOlivia waking up, shout barb, I

(25:48):
almost feel like we should get thosesheets. Or there's like a certain type
of alarm clock now that it getslouder and louder and then it shakes and
you have to actually put in likea math equation to make it stop.
Oh my god, like you haveto do like nine plus five equals.
Yeah. I think I couldn't dothat a week, let alone sleeping.
Okay, took all that time,Thanks calculator, you counted your toes right.

(26:11):
Like I still remember when I was, like, you know, fourteen
years old and fifteen years old,I worked at the boy Scout camp and
one of the times you're supposed tobe there for like taps or to raise
the morning whatever. And I rememberthe like the director of the whole place
scream and I remember the my tentopening and get on a bed now.

(26:33):
And I was right because it wasbecause I had, you know, slept
right through my alarm it's like,I don't know if you're listening to show
and you have a way to geta teen back in the right routine of
waking up. And then it's like, send us your help. It goes
both ways. Podcast at gmail dotcom or you can just DM Christy directly.

(26:55):
This is our officials. Yeah,get us out of the groundhog day.
We have a fuck us up prettybad and we made your help.
I'm a topic of health and kidsand you saw something about like mom healthy,
bulls, kids health or something likethat you're telling me about it's here.
This level has a direct relationship tothe health of her children. According

(27:18):
to the American Journal of Pediatrics,the less act of a mother is the
less act of her children are,especially when they're very young. I get
that, that makes sense. Ialso as a mom. Keep piling on
us, keep piling The weight ofthe fucking world is our fault. And
maybe this is coming from a scornedplace because my daughter did repeat over and

(27:44):
over this morning how much she hatesme and how terrible I am. But
again, keep piling it on,like okay, fine, I want to
I want to sit down, Iwant to rest, I want to fucking
watch a little vander pump. Thenthen I have to, oh, that's
why my kids lazy. That's whenmy kid won't get up in the morning.

(28:06):
Okay, Well I think it like, oh, man, I don't
know how to because there's there likethere are people out there that are just
more sedentary, and then there arepeople that are actively moving around. And
I think that I think the wholeconcept of of lazy is an agenda.

(28:29):
It is. I don't I don'tbelieve that there's actually a lazy person.
I think that I think that that'swhat the do whatever. I think that
that's the man telling you to workmore. Okay, work more, work
more, go, go go.I disagree with you because I think that
the body knows when it needs totake a rest and when it needs to

(28:52):
get up and move. I understandthe whole philosophy of an object in motion
stays in motion. I do yeget that, But I also get that
a person knows when they need totake a time out. I think that
that's like a fine line. Ithink that there is a I think overall
though, most people more and moreare more sedentary than they are active,

(29:15):
and you don't even realize it becausewhen you're a kid because all of our
jobs make us look at screens andsit on our ass well, a lot
of jobs, but take that likeeven out of the mix. It's like
like we don't have to walk placesas much as are right exactly. It's
why Minnesota was voted the number onewhole country or state in the nation because
you see that. I believe it. Yeah, um, but that like

(29:38):
but same thing. It's like,you know why, I also they like
because they have so many trails inMinnesota allegedly right, Um, that it's
supposed to be a more healthy citybecause there's the opportunity to keep moving around
and to like kind of walk,you know what I mean, and to
get out there and to keep going. Because you don't use it, you
lose it. Why are you lookingat my hips when you said that,

(29:59):
d you absolutely just looked at mygut in my hips when you said that.
Okay, this is like dump onChristie Day. It's dump on Christie
Day. That's you're trying to wreckthe after glow after glow that I'm riding
from the reunion? Oh, isthat what it is? It's the it's
the post glow. You're trying tobe my buzz kill. Well, all

(30:23):
I'm gonna say is I understand thatwe should set good examples for our children.
I think that it should not justfall on the moms. Maybe that
that was like a stupid fucking personthat put that up on social media man
and it's parents, But obviously itliterally is said the direct health of the
mom is a direct correlation to thekid's health. Okay, So I mean,

(30:47):
I don't know. I think Iguess. If I guess, if
Isaac starts drinking wine and smoking cigarstomorrow, then that's fucking true. Do
you think their social media use isbased on you or me or both of
us. If you would have askedme a few years ago, one thousand
percent you have been addicted to yourphone forever and ever you like. Your

(31:08):
big excuse was always, I've gotto do it for my job, because
for the radio station you had tobe exactly, you had to be like
up with the times and current aboutall things, you know, hip hoppy.
But yeah, since the pandemic andsince not having a job, I
one thousand percent have a screen addiction. Like it gives me that dopamine hit,

(31:32):
It keeps me company, it doesall the things that it's designed to
do because it's sort of general,you know, has the new thing out,
or about how dangerous it is.Well, I think that what it
actually is is a health advisory onsocial media and children. It says.
The advisor highlights several common scenarios onsocial media that can harm the adolescents psyche,

(31:53):
including exposure to graphic and harmful contentand cyberbullying. Social media can also
be also to contribute to eating disordersand low self esteem, especially for teenage
girls. Yeah, who's to blame? According to the advisory, three chors
of teenagers believe that tech firms manipulateusers to spend more time on their device.

(32:14):
That's one thousand percent. Yeah,absolutely. I think that that's a
well known fact. And that's notbecause necessarily they want to ruin children's lives,
but they want to have a profitablething right to teenage Social media use
in the US by the digits,nine share of US teenagers who report using
a social media platform use social mediamakes them feel more connected to their friends

(32:37):
because again, like during the pandemic, we were all for them, letting
them have like zoom birthday parties,book there was like a Facebook like kids
whatever it was called, which youknow, they haven't really ever used where
it's like they would message back messenger. Yeah. The study found a consistent
relationship between social media use and poorsleep qualities. LEAP is especially important for

(33:00):
young adults with poor rest linked toaltered neurological development in adolescent brains right depressive
symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.And no matter what it is, even
for us and all of us,it's a dopamine hit. I've deleted and
I need to delete it again becauseIsaac's put it back around my phone because

(33:21):
he's trying to sell something like Facebook, Facebook to me. It hasn't ever
done anything. I mean, I'mreally close to down, like deleting Instagram
and taking a because I know thatI am. Yeah, you know,
like, but anything on my phone, it's that feeling you're getting to swipe
with your thumb. How good doesthat feel? It is? It's comforting.

(33:45):
It's like tapping your toe, right, It's just something you do right,
and you just you do it onautopilot. You're absolutely mindless when you
do it, and then all ofa sudden you look at the clock and
it's like, oh shit, twohours just went by, and I haven't
put my phone down once. LikeI've noticed in myself, if I go
and do like a household task orsomething like that, my attention span now

(34:09):
is so limited before I'm looking formy phone again to meet that need.
And I'm like, god, dang, that's not healthy. So and that's
coming from an old person that knowsright from wrong, and it's such a
problem. So yeah, abs afucking lutely, it should be a health

(34:30):
crisis for the kids. It's thenever ending conversation though, because then you
know, you have all these peoplesaying it's not healthy, it's not healthy,
but then you have other people,including our counselor, saying, well,
it is what it is, andif you want them to have relationships
with friends, then that's what theyhave to do. And it's like,
well, are you gonna let themsmoke cigarettes? You know what I mean?

(34:52):
Like cigarettes aren't healthy, they're nothealthy, but we're still going to
sell it to you. They're stillnot illegal yet. Yeah, well,
because they're they're like with cigarettes,like our kids that they have zero interest
in cigarettes now maybe vaping down theroad, Yeah, don't get off the
road here. But what they doknow is they know that, Like Okay,
like it's it's interesting to me becausehopefully, like this is a sort

(35:15):
of thing where like we keep preachingabout like do as I say, not
as I do, the thing becauseeven our brains are broken, right,
hopefully, like that's the benefit ofthis stuff, is like telling them,
like, hey, don't get toomuch into this because now do as I
say, not as I do,because look at how fucked up I am.
Look how up is I mean?Full circle. That's kind of the

(35:37):
whole Latchkin reason to that audio thatI just played about a mom's health equals
the kids health, the do asI say, not as I do,
right, I know, but weneed you to stay alive and we need
you to be active. Okay,Christy go, I'll try to get off
the couch more. Steve go runa marathon. Yeah, I do enjoy
bond bonds. Let me tell youright now, million dollar idea trails that

(36:00):
have Vanderbump on them. Like ifyou could have like a trail that's like
in the wilderness that has like littlescenes of Vanderpump rules like a like almost
like a haunted trail, you cando better. No, no, no,
your brain can do that. Thatone was lacking. It's all right,
you're better than that. Hey,thanks for listening. It goes both
ways with Christy and Steve. Let'sgo watch VPRY. I'm not watching a
