00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,400 We have some social media stuff to talk about with you guys today because I love social 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,400 media. 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,400 I don't. 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,480 I hate all social media. 11 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:34,480 Not my favorite. 12 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,160 But to kick it off, Sarah's got an FMK for us today. 13 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:41,160 Yeah. 14 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:46,240 So we're just going to go ahead and, you know, fuck, Mary, kill some forms of social media, 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,680 Facebook, Instagram, and the good old TikTok. 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,320 I will kill all those and go Snapchat, Snapchat, Snapchat. 17 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,120 That's so true. 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,120 You are. 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,760 But I'm a Snapchat person also. 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,480 And every time I'm with my sister, Jerry, she always is like, you need to move to Instagram. 21 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,340 You need to move to Instagram. 22 00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:11,800 And I'm just like, but it's like so much easier to just get on Snapchat. 23 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,800 Instagram, you have to do all the things, like all that extra stuff. 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,020 And like go up to your photo in the corner and press the plus button. 25 00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:21,020 Like it's a whole thing. 26 00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:22,020 Yeah. 27 00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:24,840 And like people are doing these reels and I'm like, I don't even know how to do that. 28 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,520 Like, no, I don't even want to learn. 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,520 We have reels on our Instagram. 30 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,520 Snapchat is so much easier. 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,520 So we know who does that. 32 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,520 Yeah, I don't do that. 33 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,520 Sarah does that stuff. 34 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,080 I mean, I'm sure I could figure it out, but like I see these people that have like, they'll 35 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,800 have like, I was watching, I was looking at the one where the Tom Brady guy was in his 36 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,880 underwear, his little thirst trap picture or whatever. 37 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,880 The Tom Brady guy? 38 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,720 Yeah, the Tom Brady guy, that guy, you know, whoever he is. 39 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,440 And he's like, some other guy is like commenting on it and he has himself like in the front, 40 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,640 but he's got Tom Brady in the back, like on a green screen. 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680 And I was thinking, I'm like, is he in the background? 42 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,120 Like, does he have an actual green screen behind him or is this like a filter that he, 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,040 did he create his own filter to do that? 44 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,040 Like how do you do that? 45 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,080 TikTok has a green screen filter. 46 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,900 So then you can post things like from your phone. 47 00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:12,280 So like, let's just say. 48 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,280 So did he do that? 49 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,280 That was on Instagram. 50 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,280 So did he do it on TikTok? 51 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,080 I mean, there very well could be something like that on Instagram too, but I know that 52 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,200 there's one on TikTok. 53 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,480 So like, let's be hypothetical and say you and I got into like some kind of texting war 54 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,480 or whatever. 55 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,120 If I wanted to post like some video on TikTok or whatever, I could use the green screen 56 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,600 filter and like pull up text messages and be like, here are my receipts. 57 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Yeah. 58 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,080 I've seen that stuff and I'm like, I don't know how they do that. 59 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,080 Yeah. 60 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,080 So it's a whole filter. 61 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,080 Yeah. 62 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,540 I mean, I mean, you could create a filter and sell it to TikTok or like whatever. 63 00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:49,320 Like the filters are created all the time, different kind of, you know, like. 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,320 Right. 65 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,800 But then I would have to like learn how to code. 66 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,960 Oh, which they're teaching children of the age of zero. 67 00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,000 Like you pop out today and you know how to code. 68 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,760 Like they teach you in the womb. 69 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,760 I think. 70 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,760 Stop. 71 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,160 So anyway, so, but, but if I really had to do the FMK. 72 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,160 Yes. 73 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,160 So let me go back to that. 74 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:15,360 So I would, I would marry TikTok because, but that's only because I've never been able 75 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,400 to date TikTok and TikTok is like elusive. 76 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,400 Yeah. 77 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,060 It's like, Ooh, TikTok. 78 00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:22,760 So I'm not allowed to have TikTok. 79 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,600 I did have it for like a day. 80 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,960 And then my job was like, because I have like work stuff on my phone and my phone is like 81 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,400 managed by it has like stuff on it. 82 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,400 Anyways, this is a whole thing. 83 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,160 I can't have it because they think that China is going to like hack into our medical records 84 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,700 or something like that. 85 00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:42,680 So I'm not allowed to have. 86 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,240 I think it's crazy because you also have a work cell phone. 87 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,240 Right. 88 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,240 But my work cell phone. 89 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,600 So there's a whole thing with the work cell phone. 90 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,560 I have to have, I didn't want to. 91 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,720 I have to, you have to, for an iPhone to work, you have to put an Apple ID. 92 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,240 So I had to create a separate Apple ID for my work, but you have to put in credit card 93 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,240 information and not putting my personal credit card information for my work phone to be able 94 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240 to like put apps on my phone. 95 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,760 So I can't put anything on there. 96 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,560 And also I don't carry my work phone everywhere. 97 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,800 I leave my work phone, like unless I'm traveling or like go somewhere and I need to like work 98 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,280 somewhere else, I don't, I leave it at home because I'm, I'm not trying to work when I'm 99 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:25,280 not working. 100 00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:31,120 So, but if I do need to see my email for my work, I like to have it on my personal phone. 101 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,120 So that's why I do have that. 102 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,040 And so that, and so that is why I can't download Tik Tok because they have created that policy. 103 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,440 But anyway, so it, once they get off of that, I will love Tik Tok, but I will also hate 104 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,120 it'll be a love hate relationship because I will be addicted and I will do nothing but 105 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,480 be on Tik Tok. 106 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,520 And it's all the same stuff though. 107 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:59,040 The problem is literally the problem is that every video is exactly the same, but you get 108 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,000 addicted to it. 109 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,080 It's literally it's like Chinese. 110 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,320 I don't know if it's because they're trying to, to distract us from what's actually really 111 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,880 happening in the world, which is fine because you know, honestly, I don't really care about 112 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:11,880 all the other stuff. 113 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:19,400 As long as I'm not dead and dying and I can like buy eggs for $5 a carton. 114 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,800 But yeah, so literally not true. 115 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,280 But anyway, they are $5 now for 12. 116 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:25,640 I'm not talking about the eggs. 117 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,240 I'm talking about every video being the same. 118 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,240 They're pretty much the same. 119 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,080 It's like every person is like doing, doing the same dance that somebody else did. 120 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,040 It's literally not even about dances anymore. 121 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,800 I know it's not about dances anymore, but we're gone from there. 122 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,800 Yeah. 123 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,800 But that it's not the dances. 124 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,760 It's all this other stuff that it's like, it's all the same. 125 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,760 It's like somebody having, Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. 126 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,200 In the background with some buddy popping a pimple or something. 127 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,200 Okay. 128 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,200 But it's like, yes, it is. 129 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,000 It like is, it like is. 130 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Yeah. 131 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Okay. 132 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,600 So, but I would marry Tik Tok because I, it's like elusive. 133 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,080 And then I would kill Facebook because I really hate Facebook because do you know what Facebook 134 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,080 is? 135 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,080 It's a bunch of people. 136 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,080 Excuse me. 137 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,440 It's like, stay at home, Karen's getting on there and maybe they're not staying home and 138 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,880 maybe they're not Karen's. 139 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,600 And I guess I'm not supposed to say Karen anymore because that is like, whatever the 140 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,080 word is, I need to be more woke and not say Karen. 141 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:30,600 But all they do is they put pictures of their babies and then they write a 17 page dissertation 142 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,960 about like why their child likes to eat peas for breakfast. 143 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,680 And I'm like, I don't care about that. 144 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,880 Like I want you, I want back in the day, remember back in the day when Facebook was, Hey, what 145 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,320 is your, what's your status or what are you doing right now? 146 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,320 Or what was it? 147 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,320 It was like something like that. 148 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,960 And you'd be like, Emily is dot dot dot taking a bath. 149 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,400 And it would be like that simple. 150 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,080 It wasn't like Emily is and 10 paragraphs to read. 151 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,280 And I'm like, I don't have time for this. 152 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,080 Also if you want to, if you want to write a paragraph, just do a voice text, like, so 153 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,760 I don't have to read it. 154 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,000 My eyes are hurting. 155 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,080 So kill Facebook and Instagram. 156 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080 I would marry, I mean, fuck, fuck Instagram. 157 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Okay. 158 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,080 What about you? 159 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Sorry. 160 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,840 That was a long one, but I have a very, lots of feelings and thoughts about, well, I love 161 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:29,400 Tik Tok and because you don't have Tik Tok and I do, I totally disagree with everything 162 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,680 you just said. 163 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,680 I don't. 164 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,680 I still, I think Instagram's the same too. 165 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,600 They are quite similar now, but I like Tik Tok a little bit better. 166 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,600 But I mean, your, for you page is what they call it, like kind of what comes up on your 167 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,680 feed. 168 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,720 It's curated by the things that you like. 169 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,480 So basically I like all the same things and that's why I keep seeing the same stuff. 170 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,480 Yeah. 171 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,480 Except for you don't have Tik Tok. 172 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,480 So you're not seeing shit. 173 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,480 Right. 174 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,680 But I see all these Instagram things where people like put their Tik Toks from Tik Tok 175 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,040 on Instagram. 176 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,440 They're all basically the same. 177 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,440 Okay. 178 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,240 Anyway, I'm marrying Tik Tok because I love it. 179 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,680 And then I'm actually probably, I guess I'm probably fucking Instagram too and killing 180 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,680 Facebook. 181 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Like I used to be a big Facebook person and I really liked it a lot. 182 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,720 And I was definitely one of those that like put the statuses out there. 183 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,680 Cause like when your memories come up, you know, it'll say you have a memory with this 184 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,880 person, that person, the other person, you don't ever get on Facebook. 185 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,600 So you don't know this, but you'll have memories pop up and you can go click on it and it'll 186 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:29,600 scroll. 187 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,800 And then it'll take me back to like 2007, like when I was very first on Facebook and 188 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,160 it'll say, you know, it just, the dumbest stuff. 189 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,160 Like it's so funny. 190 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,160 It was dating. 191 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,880 It was, that was

much more simple. 197 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,080 Like I don't even think you could put pictures on it. 198 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,200 Like you couldn't do all that. 199 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,160 I mean you could, but like you could put pictures, but it wasn't post so much like writing albums. 200 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,160 Yeah. 201 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,120 And you would

This guy like that we knew they got married to this girl that we also know. 221 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,840 And I think she or he, one of them cheated. 222 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,880 And then the other one got on Facebook and like wrote all this stuff about the girl being 223 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,920 like a hoe and like, I think like post it all. 224 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,760 And then

00:16:30,120 But I had like the little people. 381 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,920 What were they like little girls that were like they had like cute shoes and they like 382 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:34,920 sparkled and stuff. 383 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,680 I could put them in the background or whatever. 384 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:37,840 I don't know what they were called. 385 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,840 They were called something. 386 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,320 But like you could do all kinds of stuff. 387 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,400 And I put like my picture back there and all this stuff. 388 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,120 And I was a background all the time. 389 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,640 Same all the time. 390 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,580 I changed my top eight all the time. 391 00:16:50,580 --> 00:16:55,400 This was also back when I had blonde hair, which is a while because and I was really 392 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,400 tan. 393 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,400 So I was like a photo negative. 394 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,520 Like I really white teeth teeth because I bleached my teeth all the time. 395 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,920 I was super tan because I went to the tanning bed like every single day. 396 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,040 Like I was tanorexic. 397 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,040 And then and I'm going to get probably get skin cancer. 398 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,040 That's really sad. 399 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,120 But and then I have like highlighted my hair so much that was so blonde that I literally 400 00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:15,360 looked like a photo negative. 401 00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:16,840 These are the trends from back then. 402 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,840 This is terrible. 403 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,840 Oh, 100 percent. 404 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,840 Like what? 405 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,040 And like the very first clip in hair extensions that like you we didn't know how to blend 406 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,040 those things. 407 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,040 No, I looked. 408 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,040 I didn't know what to put makeup on. 409 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,680 The haircut was like Kristin Cavallari from the OC. 410 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,400 It looked just like that. 411 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,200 Like very like choppy like highlights, you know, that kind of thing. 412 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,760 I did not color my hair until after I finished my freshman year of college. 413 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,640 Oh, that's a really good. 414 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,280 I had very, very long hair when I was in high school. 415 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:54,720 And after my freshman year of college, I let my one of my best friends, Sarah, through 416 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,080 a pull through cap bleach my hair. 417 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,080 Oh, no. 418 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,080 Was it bad? 419 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,320 No, it wasn't that bad. 420 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,320 It could have been way worse. 421 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,000 I mean, we didn't have those pull through caps. 422 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000 Give me like anxiety. 423 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,600 It looks like nasty spaghetti when you take the thing off. 424 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,640 It's gross. 425 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,640 But it didn't look that bad. 426 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,800 But at the end of that summer, I cut all of my hair off and it looks so cute. 427 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,000 It's probably about as short as this right now. 428 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,160 But I was skinnier then. 429 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,920 So I think I looked cuter. 430 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:20,920 Well, everybody. 431 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,440 Now I feel like I'm a 12 year old again. 432 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,800 No, you're not. 433 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,640 I can't even tell that your hair short right now. 434 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,680 So do you remember? 435 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,240 Do you remember a live journal? 436 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,360 Did you ever have a live journal? 437 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:34,360 No. 438 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:35,360 Oh, my gosh. 439 00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:36,360 So I had a live journal. 440 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,360 Let me just tell you the story. 441 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:39,840 Dang, I was emo and it wasn't even like good. 442 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,480 You know, like I think that I can look I'm pretty sure I can look it up like I should 443 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,980 find one later and read it to you guys because it was bad. 444 00:18:47,980 --> 00:18:52,000 And I got in trouble because I think I said I called some people out on my lap. 445 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,760 It was my journal and it was a live journal. 446 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,880 I didn't know anybody else was reading it. 447 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280 But I said something really means I don't think it was me. 448 00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,360 But I said journal. 449 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:00,360 How do you know that? 450 00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:04,100 How do you literally nobody got on the Internet and nobody had there was like three people 451 00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:08,040 I knew that had a live journal back then because like it was like three people that were it 452 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,720 was like Mary Catherine McAnally, me and like this other girl. 453 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,320 And it was like we were the emo people that wrote in our live journal and I was just dumb. 454 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,600 And so but I got like I think my like somebody said something. 455 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,040 I don't it was like my sorority. 456 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,520 I was in a sorority in high school. 457 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,360 And I think I can't remember exactly what happened. 458 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,460 But I think I said something about like I don't know what I said. 459 00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:34,460 This one girl and I got in trouble for it. 460 00:19:34,460 --> 00:19:35,460 It was not good. 461 00:19:35,460 --> 00:19:39,760 So don't my mom always told me and she told me this before I did this. 462 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,720 Don't ever put anything in writing like if you're going to do something bad, don't do 463 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,920 it in writing. 464 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,040 So like write it, regret it, say it, forget it. 465 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,360 Well, but but yeah. 466 00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:52,040 The live journal was wild. 467 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,280 I'm going to try to find that because I'm pretty sure you can still look it up. 468 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,840 Emily Cramsey Live Journal. 469 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,760 You guys, if you want to read it, it's really bad. 470 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,760 Just just don't judge. 471 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:01,760 I was like 14. 472 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,760 Oh, Lord have mercy. 473 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,320 So so yeah, that was that was good. 474 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,720 But yeah, we didn't have to deal with like I mean, I guess we did. 475 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,320 But like back in the day, we didn't have like social media when we were children. 476 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,920 So like nowadays, I don't know what age you get a cell phone. 477 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,920 Like I guess it depends on your parents, but we didn't get cell phones until like what 478 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,080 high school. 479 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:30,400 I did not get my own personal cell phone until three days after I graduated from high school. 480 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,920 But it wasn't a smartphone. 481 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,320 No, I was 18 years old. 482 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:40,680 And so through the whole entire my high school career, I borrowed my mom's cell phone if 483 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,520 I went somewhere like if she was going to be home, she gave me her phone because we 484 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,280 had a landline to call. 485 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:52,200 So it used to be so funny because I lived in a town that had two colleges in it. 486 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,200 And then and I mean, she wasn't really given me a phone until like I had my driver's license 487 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,040 and I was like bebopping around on the weekends on my own and stuff like that. 488 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,480 But during this was mostly my senior year of high school. 489 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,960 But during the week when she had her own phone back because it was hers, not mine, she would 490 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,160 get text messages from all your calls. 491 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,160 Yeah. 492 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,800 And you know, she would answer the phone and because I mean, names were in there or whatever. 493 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,800 And she would answer the phone. 494 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,800 She'd be like, Sarah doesn't have the phone right now. 495 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800 And that's like how it had to happen. 496 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:24,800 Like, sorry, don't call. 497 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,800 Like, oh, my gosh, that's hilarious. 498 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,800 Well, like that would be embarrassing nowadays. 499 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,800 Like, oh, sorry, Sarah doesn't have her phone. 500 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:28,800 Like, what? 501 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,800 But that was like the norm back then, though. 502 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,800 And everybody that like I was hanging out with, like they knew what was up. 503 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,800 You're like, it wasn't a secret. 504 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:32,800 I wasn't trying to act like it was my phone. 505 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,800 There was a lot of people I'm sure that were like that. 506 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:34,800 Yeah. 507 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,800 I mean, I was like, I'm not sure. 508 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:36,800 I'm not sure. 509 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,800 I'm not sure. 510 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:45,200 I'm not sure. 511 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,000 I remember getting like cell phones, but we I got this one cell phone. 512 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,280 My dad, like, I don't know, he got me this cell phone and it was like one of the first 513 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,280 ones that could play. 514 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,680 It was like an iPod, but it was like a Samsung or something. 515 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,440 Or I don't know what it was. 516 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:04,320 And you could like download a ton of music on it and like stream music. 517 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,040 And I was like, this is the best or maybe not streaming download and stream. 518 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,120 I think I don't know if you could stream back then, but the terminology, what is it called? 519 00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,120 What do we say? 520 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:19,120 Semantics. 521 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:22,240 But it got stolen and I was so pissed. 522 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,120 I was so upset. 523 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:28,360 But remember, I said we had flip phones and then we had those phones that like kind of 524 00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:31,880 slide up like this and then we have Blackberries. 525 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,200 But you couldn't get on like social media on those. 526 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:40,400 And we didn't get iPhones until or like smartphones with like the big screens with social media 527 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,880 and all the apps and things until like late college. 528 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,520 Oh yeah, like 2008, nine, ten. 529 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,520 Yeah. 530 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,880 So like, wow, we made it for a long time. 531 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:58,880 I mean, I think I was probably close to 24 or 25 years old when I had my first iPhone. 532 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,620 I can't remember when I got mine. 533 00:23:00,620 --> 00:23:06,280 And the reason why was because when I got my phone, my dad put me on their plan because 534 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,800 if you're on a family plan, I could talk to them whenever. 535 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,600 Finally, I was like, I want, you know, an iPhone. 536 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,120 And that was they didn't have iPhones back then. 537 00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,960 And my dad and Connie. 538 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,880 And so they were like, we're not paying for a data plan for you. 539 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,880 Like, yeah. 540 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,760 Oh my God, I forgot you had to play for a data. 541 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,760 Yeah. 542 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,760 Yeah. 543 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,760 So I had to pay for my own data plan and stuff. 544 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,720 And I got off their plan at that point because I was not willing to wait on them to come 545 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,720 around to do the usage. 546 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,520 I want to just spend like here, like I'll give you 20 bucks. 547 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,040 Oh, I said I was going to do that. 548 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,040 They didn't want to mess with me. 549 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,040 Yeah, I know. 550 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,640 I feel like my parents would have been like, nope, I don't believe you. 551 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,520 Actually, my parents would have been like, OK. 552 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,840 And then I never would have paid them. 553 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,840 And then they would never have said anything. 554 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,840 I may not have been living at home at that point. 555 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,560 And then I would have felt bad about it. 556 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,200 So I may not have been living at home at that point. 557 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,280 So I mean, I understand them saying no to that. 558 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:01,000 But even now, which I mean, granted, there's not been many times in the last handful of 559 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,040 years that like they've given me like money for anything and I've had to pay them back. 560 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,000 They don't even have cash out. 561 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,320 Then Venmo PayPal, none of it. 562 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,320 They got nothing. 563 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,200 I keep trying to tell them it makes me mad. 564 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,440 I've been my modell. 565 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,400 They go to Costco and my mom like today, my mom sent me pictures of this stuff and I was 566 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,640 like, buy it for me. 567 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,840 And then I like Venmo dad like I've been my mom. 568 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,060 Oh, I've been my mom. 569 00:24:25,060 --> 00:24:26,160 So she's coming down here. 570 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,440 She's staying with me when she's in Birmingham and then she's going to Mobile to my sisters 571 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,680 and they're going to stay in an Airbnb. 572 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,720 So I had to book, I've booked like 7,000 Airbnbs in the last month. 573 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,960 And so as soon as I book it, Dawn Venmos me and she's a good lady like that. 574 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:43,960 So she knows what's up. 575 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,920 And Charles and Connie would be, I mean, they'd get some money. 576 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,040 You know, I mean, not again, not that they like give us money, but like it would be an 577 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,000 easy way for me to send them money if I needed to. 578 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,560 Yeah, it's so much easier than having to like me. 579 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,160 Like maybe let me go to the bank. 580 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,960 Do you know how long it, I honestly, the bank is just right there, but I'm like, I don't 581 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:02,960 have time to go to the bank. 582 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,760 Like it takes like however long to get there. 583 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,400 If I'm being honest, I actually probably still owe them like 30 or $40 because I had to get 584 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,440 a tire patched and I'm pretty sure my dad paid for it. 585 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,000 But I forgot because I would have sent you Venmo. 586 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000 Oh my God. 587 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,920 At this point, I'm probably owe my parents like a quadrillion dollars because they've 588 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,240 paid for so many things and I don't even know. 589 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,680 Well, I like my mom loves, she like, I think she wants to maybe sometimes she doesn't, 590 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,800 but like, you know, she's like, oh, well, let me and my dad will be like, oh, are you 591 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,800 going to let me pay for this? 592 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,120 And I'm like, no, dad, you, he'll like, we'll go to the gas station and I'll be driving 593 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,560 and he'll like get his card out to give to me. 594 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,440 And I'm like, dad, this is my car. 595 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,920 I'm 35 years old. 596 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,360 I will pay for my own gas. 597 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:47,360 Thank you. 598 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:51,440 But honestly, I kind of want to take your credit card and pay for the gas because you're 599 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,640 offering, but like I feel bad about it. 600 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,640 Um, I wouldn't. 601 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,360 No, I don't take it. 602 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:58,000 But like I want to. 603 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,240 I wouldn't feel bad about it. 604 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,600 Oh, you wouldn't feel bad about it? 605 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,600 No, no. 606 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,600 He's paid for it. 607 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,040 Sometimes like if we've gone on like a trip or something, your parents, it's not enough 608 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,880 for it to like add up. 609 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,160 Let your dad pay for gas. 610 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,360 Look, my dad pays for more than enough for me. 611 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:13,480 He is so generous. 612 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,600 He really is. 613 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,400 And do you know, honestly, he should be happy because he hasn't had to pay for a wedding 614 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,400 for me. 615 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,800 I don't know how expensive those are. 616 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,680 Like I'm like, can I get, can you guys like give me a check for the money that you would 617 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,360 have spent for my wedding? 618 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:31,400 Because I think we're past that point. 619 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:37,360 And like that could go towards like my house or like something that I don't know. 620 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:39,960 That would be so much better. 621 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,560 So hey, mom and dad, can I get some, can you get some cash? 622 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,560 Just kidding. 623 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,560 I'm just kidding, but not really. 624 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,200 No, I'm seriously there. 625 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,560 I don't want like a wedding or any of that. 626 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,440 I just, it's not my thing. 627 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,160 I would much rather have a check for a down payment on a house. 628 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,160 Same. 629 00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,160 Yeah. 630 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,160 Yeah. 631 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,160 They got lucky with me. 632 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,160 They didn't have to pay for a wedding. 633 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,720 And like, I mean, they had two boys that got married and whatever. 634 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,200 I don't know what they have to pay for, what they have to pay for with that. 635 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,840 But like, you know, I'm a sheepo. 636 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,160 I mean, they did pay for college, but like, that's a lot. 637 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,160 That is a lot. 638 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,160 Anyway. 639 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,160 Okay. 640 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,680 I just don't understand how like kids today make it with their social media. 641 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:26,160 So like have trolls and like people telling other people to like kill themselves. 642 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,400 Like I think that's like a, like a thing. 643 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,920 Oh, a hundred percent it is. 644 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,120 And they're like, they'll be like, oh, you should just go ahead and kill yourself. 645 00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:34,680 Because it's happened. 646 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,280 I know it's wild. 647 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,280 It's scary. 648 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,280 It's really scary. 649 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,080 I mean, it's that terrifies me. 650 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,160 Like I'm not super sold on having kids anyways. 651 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,720 But if I were to have a child, that is terrifying to bring a child into the world that it is 652 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,880 today. 653 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,720 But then also know that like, not only do they have to deal with like all the exterior, 654 00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,320 like, you know, inter global type stuff, but like the social media is rough. 655 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,320 Kids are mean. 656 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,960 Well, it's already hard enough when you are in school and you have like bullies or like 657 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,400 people that you like, you know, you're trying to keep up with like trends and whatever and 658 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:16,480 try to be cool or whatever in school, but then you get home and you get online and it's 659 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,480 it doesn't stop. 660 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,680 And it's more people. 661 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,680 Yeah. 662 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,760 It's the entire world on the internet that can like bully you. 663 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:25,760 It's bad. 664 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,120 I mean, I don't envy kids these days. 665 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:35,240 You know, I think we all always like as kids heard our parents being like, I had to walk, 666 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,600 you know, up both ways. 667 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,600 My dad said that and he was a liar. 668 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,600 No, he didn't. 669 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:40,600 He drove to school. 670 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,600 He's a liar. 671 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,600 But you know what I'm saying? 672 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,680 Like that was our parents struggle and our struggle was, you know, we didn't have the 673 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:54,600 internet and we had to like go to the library and actually write quotations down, you know, 674 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,760 in it for, you know, what do you call it? 675 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,200 When you cite your site, a story or whatever. 676 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,200 Yeah. 677 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,200 You had to like get it. 678 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,400 You had to get your like, yeah, you had to check out your books and you had to do it 679 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,800 while you were there because some of those books are research books that you can't even 680 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,400 get like you can't leave the library with. 681 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,080 But OK, so and now we're at like a catch 22 because everything is at our fingertips now. 682 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,480 But would you have would you have it any other way? 683 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,760 Because I wouldn't. 684 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,320 I would hate to grow up today. 685 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,920 Like take me back to 2000 when I was, you know, almost in high school. 686 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,600 I'm cool with that. 687 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,400 Don't put me in high school right now. 688 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,400 Yeah. 689 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,120 I mean, I don't know, because, you know, they don't nobody knows any better. 690 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,680 We know what we have. 691 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,320 Like you don't like the people today don't know what we had then. 692 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,640 We don't know what our parents had. 693 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,480 So like honestly, I don't know. 694 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:55,640 Like I liked I didn't have any problem with it, but that's because that's what I was stuck 695 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,640 in. 696 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,960 That's what we had and that's what I knew. 697 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:58,960 And this is what they know. 698 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,440 But like if I had to do it today, like I don't I would be like I would. 699 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,640 I mean, I'm sure I would be fine because I would know it. 700 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,520 But like it's a lot. 701 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,520 I know. 702 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:14,480 I just feel like I would if I had kids, I would be like a psycho helicopter parent that wouldn't 703 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,040 let my kids like do anything. 704 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,240 I would be up there, but about everything that's going on. 705 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,240 You're not a lot of kids. 706 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,240 I'll be cool. 707 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,520 Aunt Emily and I'll let them come stay at my house and whenever they get drunk and you'll 708 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,040 be like, I'm going to kill you. 709 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:34,440 You know what I mean, like I feel like you have to be just so vigilant now. 710 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,520 And that I mean, it kind of sucks. 711 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,480 Like, but you don't I mean, you teach your children what is right and wrong and what 712 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,920 they should listen to when they shouldn't listen to teach your children and they will 713 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,000 be able to make their own choice. 714 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,240 They will be able to make good choices and things like that. 715 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,160 And I don't even think it's about, you know, teach them what to listen to or whatever. 716 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,080 I also think that it's very much so about instilling in them that there's an open line 717 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,200 of communication. 718 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:05,360 And if you did something that isn't great or whatever, you can still come to me and 719 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,760 we can talk about it and we can figure out exactly solution where, you know, maybe if 720 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,000 something happens, also, they don't think that suicide is the way out. 721 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,000 Right. 722 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,000 Yeah. 723 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,000 I mean, it's wild. 724 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,840 Like there's there's a lot of stuff people and people are like getting like scammed. 725 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:28,840 I saw something on the news the other day about like kids getting scammed with somebody 726 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,880 getting on like Snapchat and asking for nude pictures. 727 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880 And then they'm sending it to them and then blackmailing them and saying that they needed 728 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,840 like them to pay eight hundred dollars or they were going to send it to their, you know, 729 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,840 whoever. 730 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:43,840 And then they started sending it to their parents. 731 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,880 And I'm like, how did first of all, how they get your information and your parents information? 732 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,880 Like that's wild. 733 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,080 But like, I mean, that's so easy. 734 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:57,840 A girl that I knew, she went to the next high school over from me and she they had a large 735 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,040 family and so she had several older brothers and sisters and one of her older sister's 736 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,320 kids committed suicide because that exact thing happened to him. 737 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,320 Oh my God. 738 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,000 It was wild. 739 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,160 And I can't even imagine. 740 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,640 But I mean, I get random ads on Snapchat all the time. 741 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,720 And if I don't know who they are, then I don't accept it. 742 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,720 Yeah, I don't either. 743 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,720 Why? 744 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,440 Well, and that's the thing is that you need, you know, and you can teach your children 745 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,440 that. 746 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,760 But like there's no in my opinion, there's no need to micromanage and helicopter parent 747 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,960 our children. 748 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,960 We need to have those conversations like you're saying and like teach them right and wrong 749 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,960 and teach them. 750 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,360 And but what is right and wrong? 751 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,600 That's the question. 752 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,360 But like teach them how to handle situations like that and who to go to if they have and 753 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,520 make them not afraid to come talk to you or to like anybody, somebody that can help you. 754 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,080 100 percent anybody. 755 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,160 I mean, it doesn't you know, can you tell your child over and over again that there's 756 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,160 an open line of communication? 757 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,160 You're not going to be upset. 758 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,320 They're not going to be in trouble, you know, whatever. 759 00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,320 Yes. 760 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,640 But also, you know, give them the opportunity to reach out to somebody else and you know, 761 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,120 know that that's OK, too. 762 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,120 Yeah. 763 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,480 If it's not you, yeah, they can go talk to Aunt Emily. 764 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,480 Exactly. 765 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,480 Exactly. 766 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,600 So, yeah, so that's that was kind of deep. 767 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,000 But you guys, you know, listen, Sarah and Emily are here for you guys. 768 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,720 I'm talking in the is it third person? 769 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,400 I don't know which person it is. 770 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,480 Yeah, it's I'm a very I'm like 100 years removed from school. 771 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,200 So at this point, I do have a master's degree, but not in English. 772 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:40,800 So so but so do you remember Napster and like line wire? 773 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,800 Yeah. 774 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,800 I don't know. 775 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:43,800 The other was another one. 776 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:49,080 When my parents got divorced, one of the very first like presents, like when it was around 777 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:55,200 anyways, that my dad got us for Christmas was a Gateway desktop computer. 778 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,880 One of the ones that came out of cow box. 779 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:57,880 Right. 780 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,880 Yeah. 781 00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,880 Do they still have cow boxes? 782 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:00,880 I don't know. 783 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,880 That's so cool. 784 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,880 I remember that. 785 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,880 Like the big one. 786 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,280 Yeah, we had he created Hotmail email addresses for us. 787 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,000 So you have to have like an entire room for just one computer because it's like a big 788 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,040 box and then the big monitor takes up like two desks. 789 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,080 So it wasn't too terrible, but it was like it was like a big deal. 790 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,600 Yeah, it was like super cool. 791 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,920 But he created emails, email addresses for us so he could talk to us or whatever. 792 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:29,600 But I'm pretty sure that we murdered that desktop computer with all of our Napster and 793 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:30,600 line wire bullshit. 794 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,320 Listen, I was the queen of being patient and waiting, waiting for it to download. 795 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,320 Oh my God. 796 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,320 And then burn it to a CD. 797 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,320 Oh my gosh. 798 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:44,640 So we used to download CDs, like burn a CD like every morning for every night, not usually 799 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,520 in the morning because I was always in a hurry, but like for the day, like just, oh, I need 800 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:54,440 a new CD because we didn't have our iPhone or we did have iPods at one point. 801 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,440 Yeah. 802 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,440 I don't

sedan and it had 806 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,560 a five disc CD changer in it. 807 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,560 It was like down in the bottom. 808 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:14,040 Like you had to literally turn the car off and like get inside the center console and 809 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,300 like take the CD. 810 00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:18,280 So you had to pick your five CDs that you want to listen to. 811 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,280 And then if you needed to change them, you had to like stop at a gas station and like 812 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,600 do it, you know? 813 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,000 So oh my gosh. 814 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:31,960 When, when my parents were still married, my mom drove a Chevy Suburban and they used 815 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:38,120 to bring a TV and put it on the center console facing the back so my sister and I could watch 816 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,120 movies in the car. 817 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,120 How? 818

00:35:44,120 That's hilarious. 822 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:49,120 I don't know if they had like some converter where it plugged into like the cigarette lighter 823 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,120 or something like that. 824 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,120 Oh yeah. 825 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,200 They had cigarette lighters in cars back then guys. 826 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,880 Just I saw a

00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,480 And I'm like, no, I'll get a different app. 937 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,840 You mad at the weather channel? 938 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,840 Yeah. 939 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,720 So like, I'm like, shut up. 940 00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:05,320 So speaking of channels, we've got, how do you, how did you ever do anything without 941 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,320 YouTube tutorials? 942 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,640 I have no idea. 943 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,080 We didn't do anything. 944 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,520 We just, I know called a professional and had to pay for it. 945 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:14,520 Yeah. 946 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,440 I mean, I just laugh because like, I know how to fishtail braid. 947 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,280 I don't know how to French braid, but I know how to fishtail braid. 948 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,420 That is so much harder, isn't it? 949 00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:27,000 Because I watched a Lauren Conrad YouTube tutorial. 950 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,520 And you, can you do my hair? 951 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:29,520 Fish fill it? 952 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,520 Yeah. 953 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,480 So I don't know how to do any braids. 954 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,680 Like Pete has to have his hair braided because his hair is longer than mine. 955 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,960 And everybody's like trying to braid his, and I'm like, I don't know how to braid, I'm 956 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:42,960 not braiding your hair. 957 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,800 And he's like, I can braid, but it doesn't look good. 958 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,680 I was like, my mom, I don't know if I'm- 959 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,680 He needs to quit doing pigtails. 960 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,600 And I think he's just doing it because nobody else is there to braid his hair. 961 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:52,600 His hair looks so good to fishtail braid. 962 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,640 Because he can't do it once in the back. 963 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,640 Yeah. 964 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:56,640 He got it done. 965 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,360 Like, and when he sent me a picture of her doing it and it looked like it was a, she 966 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,360 was doing fishtail pigtails. 967 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,360 Yeah. 968 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,080 It kind of looked like that. 969 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,840 I don't know for sure, but he was getting his herded and his beard trimmed. 970 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,380 And he told me he only goes once a year to trim his beard and he doesn't do his own trim. 971 00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:16,600 And I'm like, dude, you're going to have to start going more often. 972 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,680 Like, I can't, I can't with that. 973 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,720 Like, you're going to have to do that. 974 00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:21,720 That's girlfriend stuff right there. 975 00:41:21,720 -->

00:41:39,120 It'll take you two seconds. 986 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,120 Oh Lord have mercy. 987 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,120 Okay. 988 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,120 So yeah, no. 989 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,600 Like, what did we do without the tutorials? 990 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:45,600 I don't know. 991 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,640 Also, how did you get anywhere? 992 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,200 Like before there was like map quest direction. 993 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,200 Oh my God. 994 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,200 No idea. 995 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,200 How did you printed them out? 996 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,200 No idea. 997 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,200 How did you get anywhere? 998 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,200 I have no idea. 999 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:02,320 Honestly, I don't know how I keep my dogs or my plants alive because like, what would 1000 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:03,320 I do? 1001 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,100 Like my dog eats something weird. 1002 00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:10,080 Like the other day my dog literally overdosed on heart guard, the heartworm medicine, and 1003 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,600 I had to Google it because I was like, Oh my God, my dog ate too much. 1004 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,920 I called the vet, of course, first. 1005 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,040 That was the first thing I did. 1006 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,840 But while I was waiting for them to answer, I like was Googling it because I was like, 1007 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,880 Oh my God, is my dog going to die like in five minutes or what? 1008 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,320 But yeah, no. 1009 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,160 Like what, what did we do without the internets of the world? 1010 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,160 It was crazy. 1011 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:35,240 I remember after my freshman year of college, I was going to see your fave, Dave Matthews 1012 00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,480 for the very first time. 1013 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:42,360 And I was driving to just like outside of, well, we were going to SPAC, which is the 1014 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,160 Saratoga Springs Performing Arts Center. 1015 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:51,640 And so I was driving to Albany area in New York and which is like a hot four hours away. 1016 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:59,360 And I had to print my MapQuest directions and just hope that I made it there with those 1017 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,360 directions. 1018 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:01,360 Yeah, but you know what? 1019 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,080 At least we had MapQuest and we could print it. 1020 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,680 But like when my parents were driving back and forth from New York, like when they were 1021 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:14,360 married, and yes, you literally had to have a huge map and you have to have a somebody 1022 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,400 in the, in the seat next to you. 1023 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,040 You can't drive by yourself to see all that shit. 1024 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,160 So but like even when you had the MapQuest, you had to print it out. 1025 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,160 That's dangerous. 1026 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,400 If you're just one person and you're trying to read the directions on like, but when you 1027 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,760 print it out, it's like 10 pages long, especially if it's like a long trip. 1028 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:31,760 Oh, a hundred percent. 1029 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,440 And you're like, which page am I on? 1030 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,520 Like, and I, I'm like, you had to staple that mug so you could flip the page. 1031 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:38,880 Otherwise you were screwed. 1032 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,320 Oh, listen to this. 1033 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,320 Okay. 1034 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:47,280 So I was just thinking these children's probably don't even know what, what a stapler is. 1035 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,880 But while I was thinking about that is my friend Amanda was at Auburn university. 1036 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,120 I think, I don't know what she was doing there, but there was a kid, I don't know if she was 1037 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,120 teaching a class or what she was doing. 1038 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:02,040 She like, at this point she might've been like a teacher assistant or a teacher. 1039 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,040 Who knows? 1040 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:10,240 She, one of her students or one of these students saw, there was a pencil sharpener on the wall. 1041 00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:11,720 Like you know what a pencil sharpener is? 1042 00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:12,720 Like the one that you crank. 1043 00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:13,720 Yeah. 1044 00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:16,440 It was on the wall and she was like, what is this to the guy? 1045 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,840 And the guy was like, he had no idea what this was years ago too. 1046 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,600 And Amanda, you can back me up on this. 1047 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,880 She was like, what is this? 1048 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,240 I was a grown college student. 1049 00:44:26,240

idea. 1053 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,800 He was like guessing random stuff. 1054 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,240 She's like, dude, this is a pencil sharpener. 1055 00:44:34,240 --> 00:44:37,080 He's like, what is a pencil sharpener? 1056 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,400 Because you don't have pencils that you have to start it anymore. 1057 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,760 What is that company that makes pencils? 1058 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:41,760 Ticonderoga. 1059 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:42,760 Are they out of business? 1060 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,760 Is that what they're called? 1061

computers don't even have disk drives. 1111 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,280 My MacBook does, but my MacBook barely works. 1112 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,280 So I never even- 1113 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,280 I didn't even really think about that, but yeah. 1114 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:34,280 Yeah. 1115 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:35,280 I know. 1116 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,280 The times have changed. 1117 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,320 No, like Lord, it's like craziest stuff. 1118 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,000 Like who has a DVD player? 1119 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,000 Cody the other day was like, I have a Blu-ray player. 1120 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000 I'm sure Pete's got one. 1121 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000 I have a Blu-ray player. 1122 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,000 That's what my DVD player is. 1123 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,000 Yeah. 1124 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,600 But I mean, as much social media is just so much at our fingertips. 1125 00:46:53,600 --> 00:47:00,440 And I think the thing that people forget is that you can take a break from that and you 1126 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,440 can step away. 1127 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,120 You can put your account on pause. 1128 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,720 You can delete that app. 1129 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,880 But can you really is the thing. 1130 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:13,280 So like, okay, so for instance, Facebook, when we have our supper club stuff, it's Facebook 1131 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,920 Messenger and like today, I don't use Facebook. 1132 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:22,440 And you were like, hey, we finished all of our stuff for the lake trip. 1133 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:23,440 And I was like, we have? 1134 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:24,440 I was like, really? 1135 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,760 I was like, did I miss a message or something? 1136 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:27,760 Like, I don't know. 1137 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,960 She's like, well, it's in the invite. 1138 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:34,600 Like if you get off of social media, you don't get invited to stuff anymore. 1139 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:39,440 And that's the problem is people need to go back, in my opinion, if you and if you really 1140 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,960 know me, if you're really my friend, you're going to know. 1141 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,800 Like I have friends that will be like, hey, Emily, like you, hey, check this. 1142 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,860 Because if you're going to invite me to something, you know that and you're really my friend, 1143 00:47:49,860 --> 00:47:51,560 you know that I don't get on social media. 1144 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,920 I'm never going to check that. 1145 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,480 You need to send me a message and be like, hey, Emily, by the way, there's an invite 1146 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,000 for you. 1147 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,360 But I think that that's an okay thing to do. 1148 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,800 Why can't you get off social media and still like even if you have to have a conversation 1149 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,480 with like your closest friends to be like, hey, I feel like I need to get off social 1150 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,120 media for right now. 1151 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,480 Like please, you know, don't forget about me. 1152 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,240 It just sucks because it's like only your social, your like closest friends, but like 1153 00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,640 other friends, what if they like don't invite you to stuff? 1154 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,640 And then how do you find it? 1155 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:21,640 Do you even really want to go then? 1156 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:22,640 Like, I don't get it. 1157 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:23,640 Yes. 1158 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:24,640 Yeah, yeah, I do. 1159 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:29,160 Because I have friends that are like out of town and stuff that I like to keep up with. 1160 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:30,840 They're not like super close anymore. 1161 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,440 But I'm still like, like I got invited to a baby shower for somebody, which is this 1162 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,840 weekend or it was last weekend. 1163 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,120 Then I couldn't go. 1164 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:43,560 But like we don't talk every day, but we were really good friends and we're still like, 1165 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:48,240 I still consider her a really good friend, even though she literally has like a 10 year 1166 00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:49,240 old and I've never met him. 1167 00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:50,880 How did that invite get to you? 1168 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:51,880 By mail. 1169 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,880 Okay. 1170 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:53,880 So what? 1171 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:54,880 So there you go. 1172 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:55,880 Which is what people need to start doing. 1173 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:56,880 And like I check my mail. 1174 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,400 And I feel like that's what happens though. 1175 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,600 Like I mean, that's my personal opinion. 1176 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,600 I don't feel like it does. 1177 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,440 And like I know that like Erin and Santana and even us, like when we did the shower for 1178 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,360 them, we did everything on Facebook as an invite. 1179 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,960 We had to because it was last minute. 1180 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:14,960 Well, correct. 1181 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:15,960 But that's what I'm saying. 1182 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:22,960 I don't think that the etiquette has changed to swap over to just like E invites or anything 1183 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:23,960 like that. 1184 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:24,960 I don't. 1185 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,080 And I don't think that that's how it should be. 1186 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,040 I do not foresee. 1187 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:34,280 I mean, anytime in like the near future anyways, that everything is going digital. 1188 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:39,880 That you know, if we, if you and I got married, our mothers would never let us send out some 1189 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,560 E invite for a wedding. 1190 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:46,320 If I told my mom how much money we were going to save, she probably wouldn't let me either. 1191 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:47,320 Yeah, she wouldn't. 1192 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,320 No. 1193 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,320 So that's what I'm saying. 1194 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:50,320 Not in the near future. 1195 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,320 But I'm not getting a marriage. 1196 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,320 Well, listen, we're not worried about that right now. 1197 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:55,920 I'm just, you know what I'm saying? 1198 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:56,920 Yeah, I feel you. 1199 00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,680 But yeah, no, that's like, that's the thing is like, I feel like so and I'm just trying 1200 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:07,160 to you can take a break, but like, can you and like, it's hard for me. 1201 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,400 I don't get on it, but I still have it. 1202 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,160 I just don't use it. 1203 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:12,880 And I don't, but it's not to help people. 1204 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:13,880 I'm like, I can't with it. 1205 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:20,000 If you mentally need a break from it because that you need to be able to step back and 1206 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:25,280 not just not participate in that because of whatever might be going on in your life. 1207 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:30,200 And broke broken, break breaking from social media for like for the rest of my life. 1208 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:36,440 Like I don't I don't I only time like Instagram's OK for I'll scroll through that and like look 1209 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:41,160 at random stuff or like if I need to look up something like random, I'll look it up. 1210 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,640 But I do not. 1211 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,320 But you're not really taking a break from it. 1212 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:45,320 You're just not opening the app. 1213 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,320 Right. 1214 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,320 You understand what I'm saying? 1215 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,400 Like I'm talking about deleting the app, pausing, whatever. 1216 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:57,080 Like I know for a fact that you can pause Facebook and just you'll look like you're 1217 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,040 deactivated to other people even. 1218 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,000 And you can do it indefinitely for a certain number of days. 1219 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,200 So whatever, but it doesn't get rid of your account for you. 1220 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:11,360 If you were to take a break from social media, would you have to deactivate or pause or delete 1221 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,800 the app in order for you to not do it? 1222 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,800 Absolutely. 1223 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:15,800 Really? 1224 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:16,800 Wow. 1225 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,400 That's just like a natural thing to me. 1226 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:27,160 I think to you know, I'm also very OCD about like the notifications on my phone. 1227 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,560 I hate the red bubbles. 1228 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,320 Oh, I don't have notification bubbles. 1229 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:32,320 Like, no. 1230 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,080 Well, I can't stand it and I have them. 1231 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:38,320 And so when I see them, like, for example, I'm one of those that doesn't file an email 1232 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:39,600 until I'm done with it. 1233 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,160 So like you file your emails. 1234 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:43,480 Yeah. 1235 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:49,640 So I constantly have one email that's sitting in there that I have got to use before August 1236 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,400 of 2023, which is a spa gift card. 1237 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,400 Why have I waited? 1238 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,040 I got this right after Greta died. 1239 00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:04,040 My Greta was my old very original, the original dog that I ever had like by myself. 1240 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,120 And that was in 2011 or no, I mean, 2021. 1241 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:08,120 I'm sorry. 1242 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,120 And it was a long time ago. 1243 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,120 It was 2011. 1244 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,120 No, no. 1245 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,280 It was 2021, but I haven't used that sucker. 1246 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:16,560 And it's so I haven't. 1247 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,480 So I will always have at least a number one in my Gmail because of that. 1248 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,060 But I don't want to see any of the other bubbles. 1249 00:52:24,060 --> 00:52:25,760 So you mean like an unread thing? 1250 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:26,760 Yes. 1251 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:27,760 Oh, girl, my email. 1252 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,280 Look, but did you see my email when I pulled it up earlier? 1253 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:31,280 No. 1254 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,360 Right now it says one hundred and sixty six on here, but that's because it's my something 1255 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:36,360 else. 1256 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,200 But like, I literally have you don't even know. 1257 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,200 You don't even know. 1258 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,200 I don't. 1259 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,200 And I don't because I don't care. 1260 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,200 I don't. 1261 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,200 I'm not checking. 1262 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:44,200 I'm not reading it though. 1263 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,320 That's just I scroll through every day to make sure that I didn't miss something. 1264 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,320 And I have the people. 1265 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:54,240 So like my HOA is on like, like I get a notification if it sends it to me. 1266 00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:56,240 Like those are the things that I like. 1267 00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:58,240 I know for sure that I've got to check for. 1268 00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:02,080 But like all that other junk mail, I'm not reading that and I'm not checking on it. 1269 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:03,080 I'm just not opening it. 1270 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:07,080 But I mean, I'm getting rid of it real quick just so it's gone. 1271 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,080 Yeah. 1272 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:12,480 So if I did that, I would spend my entire day on my phone and I can't. 1273 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:17,720 And that's how I don't know how you are like not stressed out to the max because of that. 1274 00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:20,040 That to me is like, oh, that stresses me out. 1275 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,120 I'm like, if I stressed out over the number of emails in my inbox, I would be dead. 1276 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,760 I honestly probably subconsciously am. 1277 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,120 That is probably part of my anxiety. 1278 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:30,120 Right. 1279 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:34,120 And so like there are times where like if I have something that like I really need to 1280 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:39,000 get done for work, I'll put my watch on, do not disturb, and I will leave my phone in 1281 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:45,160 another room because otherwise, like if I have like a few seconds or whatever in between 1282 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,360 or like my attention is diverted, I'm going to pick up my phone and I'm going to look 1283 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:49,360 at it. 1284 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:50,360 Oh, no, I don't have the Apple watch anymore. 1285 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:55,320 I also have like I wear a Fitbit, but like I took it has notifications. 1286 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:56,320 Yeah. 1287 00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:01,960 But I took those off because I do not want to be notified every time anything happens. 1288 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,400 I want to have my steps and I want to have my time. 1289 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:12,360 And maybe like sometimes I'll like if I go out of town, I'll set it to where like my 1290 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:18,800 ring alarm will it'll buzz on my wrist if the alarm goes off or something like that. 1291 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,440 But like, no, I'm sorry. 1292 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:21,800 Like I can't with that. 1293 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,660 I need to be able to put my phone in another room. 1294 00:54:24,660 --> 00:54:29,360 And if somebody texts me or emails me or calls me, I need to be able to not have to answer 1295 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:35,320 it or look at it because I can't like it's just it's not I shouldn't be we shouldn't 1296 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:36,840 be on devices all day. 1297 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:37,840 Oh, I agree. 1298 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,320 And I would never get anything done not to go down this road or anything like that. 1299 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:47,000 But I think like part of it is also like just negative conditioning from like toxic relationships 1300 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:53,080 and like knowing those crazy texts are coming in and like wanting to be like mentally prepared 1301 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,880 for that or respond immediately just to like clap back. 1302 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,060 And it's gross that I feel that way. 1303 00:55:00,060 --> 00:55:01,720 That sucks that you feel that way. 1304 00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:06,400 Honestly, if that happened to me, I would feel like the opposite. 1305 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,000 And I'd be like, screw you. 1306 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,120 I'm not answering anyone because somebody told me because that's how I am. 1307 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,080 I'm like I'm like anarchy or something. 1308 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,440 I don't know if that's what the word would be. 1309 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,080 But I'm like, no, you're not going to tell me what to do. 1310 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:23,080 Sorry. 1311 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,720 Yeah, I'm very like, don't tell me what to do. 1312 00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:30,840 I mean, tell me like, look, but you can say, I don't know. 1313 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:31,840 It's a whole thing. 1314 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:32,840 That's a different episode. 1315 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:33,920 So but yeah. 1316 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:39,040 So you think that you at any point in the near future might take a break from social 1317 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:40,300 media? 1318 00:55:40,300 --> 00:55:47,040 I would say no, not right now, because I'm not experiencing anything negative in my life 1319 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,960 by participating in that. 1320 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:56,040 Like there was a point in time after a breakup that I had years ago that something really 1321 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,400 bad happened at the end. 1322 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,480 And like that caused the breakup. 1323 00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:08,520 And I needed to get off social media because I didn't want to deal with it. 1324 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:13,120 And so I did take a break for a little while, but I haven't felt like I've needed to do 1325 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,120 that. 1326 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:15,120 So yeah. 1327 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:20,680 So now that you say that, I kind of want to touch on like how social media, like one of 1328 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,360 the reasons I don't get on social media and that I that I don't participate, first of 1329 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:29,400 all, it's because it takes up a lot of my time and then I don't get anything done. 1330 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,360 Like I need to water my plants and do my laundry. 1331 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:38,680 I need to like take my dogs on walks and take them outside and like be a human being instead 1332 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:44,400 of sitting on my butt that I do all day and looking on my phone. 1333 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:45,520 I would rather do that. 1334 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:50,760 So but another thing is that when I look at social media, this is going to sound really 1335 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:51,760 crazy. 1336 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:57,240 And like not it's going to sound like I'm not happy with myself, but like I see you 1337 00:56:57,240 --> 00:57:00,720 see people and they're like doing a trip or they're doing this. 1338 00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:03,820 And I'm like, why is this person getting to do that? 1339 00:57:03,820 --> 00:57:05,400 And I'm not doing that. 1340 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:06,400 Why is it? 1341 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,260 And it makes me feel bad or it's like, and then and it's not necessarily like people 1342 00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:12,760 having kids and babies and getting married and stuff like that. 1343 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,760 Because I know a lot of people have that like anxiety. 1344 00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,440 They're like, oh, I see everybody getting married and having kids. 1345 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,260 That makes me like not want to do that. 1346 00:57:21,260 --> 00:57:25,280 Like like I'm really happy with my choice. 1347 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:30,200 But seeing people and I'm like, this person went on four trips out of the country this 1348 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,200 year. 1349 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:32,200 Yeah. 1350 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:33,200 How are they affording that? 1351 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,200 Like how is that possible? 1352 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,200 Why am I not able to afford to do that? 1353 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:37,200 Yeah. 1354 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,200 What am I doing wrong? 1355 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:39,200 It's yeah. 1356 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:44,760 I mean, it can create a lot of like self doubt and envy and negative thoughts about, you know, 1357 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:51,240 yourself and the way that you have chosen to live your life or even, you know, body 1358 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,240 image wise too. 1359 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:53,960 I mean, all of it is negative. 1360 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,040 It can have major negative effects. 1361 00:57:56,040 --> 00:58:03,340 And I think that you have to put the work in yourself to make sure that you don't allow 1362 00:58:03,340 --> 00:58:09,960 that negative self talking and have it affect you, you know, and it's easier said than done. 1363 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:10,960 Well, it's not. 1364 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,440 And I don't know if it's negative. 1365 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,880 It's not saying, hey, this is what it's a competition thing in me. 1366 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,680 And I'm like, yeah, why am I not there? 1367 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,660 And I'm the same age as this person. 1368 00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:22,660 This person did this. 1369 00:58:22,660 --> 00:58:23,660 They've done all these things. 1370 00:58:23,660 --> 00:58:28,000 And but like, I'm sure that there are people that think the same about me, which is to 1371 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,000 me, I'm like, really? 1372 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,600 Like, I don't know what you're trying to get. 1373 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,920 I don't have a husband on kids. 1374 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:39,080 But like, I, I feel like I've, I am perfect with where I am in my life. 1375 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:40,080 I love my life. 1376 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:46,040 Like, I have no, like, regrets or like anything like that about what I've done with myself. 1377 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,200 I mean, it went where it went. 1378 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:49,200 And here I am. 1379 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,520 And I'm doing my best to like, do what I can. 1380 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:57,960 But like, honestly, I just am like, how or how is this happening? 1381 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,000 Like, yeah, I just it's competition, I think it is. 1382 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,040 But I mean, I think there's also something to remember. 1383 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:08,900 And that is the whole like, you know, what they say Instagram versus reality. 1384 00:59:08,900 --> 00:59:14,680 You know, there are oftentimes where you'll see photographs that that's not real. 1385 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,200 That's not what that person looks like. 1386 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,360 There are so many photo editor apps for crying out loud. 1387 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,120 Some girl could be posed in front of a green screen. 1388 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,120 That's true. 1389 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,040 With, you know, Greece behind her. 1390 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,280 Who knows? 1391 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,720 Like you don't know if that's real anyway. 1392 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:30,720 So what does it matter? 1393 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,720 Well, that's true. 1394 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:36,480 But like the people that I know that I'm looking at on social media, I know if they went to 1395 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,200 Greece or not, usually. 1396 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:40,200 But yeah, I get what you're saying. 1397 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,920 That that makes that I'm just saying overarching. 1398 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,880 There is a massive like you have to remember. 1399 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:52,120 And I want to emphasize times a thousand Instagram versus reality. 1400 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:57,200 Whatever is out there on the Internet, on social media is not always reality. 1401 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,200 Right. 1402 00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:02,240 And maybe that person was on that trip to Greece and they took that picture and they 1403 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:06,800 looked all happy, but like their husband was in a fight with them or something. 1404 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:07,800 100%. 1405 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:08,800 Yeah. 1406 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:14,040 Or maybe they're maxing out their credit cards over and over again just to be able to post 1407 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,040 on Instagram. 1408 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,640 I mean, you never know. 1409 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,720 Yeah, that's wild. 1410 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,920 It's a day and age of influencers. 1411 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:29,200 And I think that that has been like such a cool thing to like happen to us because there's 1412 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:35,400 so much more information out there that is oftentimes perceived to be more authentic 1413 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,720 than an ad in a commercial. 1414 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:45,160 But because they're real people, you know, but it isn't always, you know, what it's 1415 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:46,760 cracked up to be. 1416 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:52,000 And I think that there are, you know, some people out there that are lucky to be able 1417 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,640 to do what they're doing. 1418 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:58,160 And you know, some some of these influences, I think that they work really hard. 1419 01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,440 I agree. 1420 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:00,680 You know, our content creators. 1421 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,680 But do they deserve to be millionaires? 1422 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,560 Well, and I do agree with that. 1423 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:12,080 Should the person who's like in your EMT saving in your ambulance saving your life, like the 1424 01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:18,800 EMT or whatever, should that person be making $30,000 a year versus somebody that sits and 1425 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,440 takes a bunch of pictures of themselves on the Internet and everybody? 1426 01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:23,920 And that is so sad. 1427 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,080 Yeah, but that's the world that we live in. 1428 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:31,680 And I also think there's a really big movement right now on TikTok, especially that they're 1429 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,360 calling like de-influencing people. 1430 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:41,320 So a lot of it is that I've come across is like makeup folks, like influencers that are, 1431 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,360 you know, makeup artists and stuff like that. 1432 01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,720 And which like said, let me just pause you really quick on that. 1433 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:50,640 How many times can you watch somebody like put on their makeup? 1434 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,640 Like I'm like, oh, really? 1435 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,360 I like like they do. 1436 01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,200 Like it's like the same thing every time. 1437 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:57,200 OK, sorry. 1438 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,240 Oh, I have been influenced by the makeup for sure. 1439 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:05,640 But they're, you know, really working hard to what they're calling de-influenced. 1440 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,920 So like they're picking the products that they have bought. 1441 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,160 And granted, this is their own personal opinion. 1442 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,760 Everybody's skin is different. 1443 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,320 You know, all that jazz. 1444 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,320 But they're picking the products that they didn't really like. 1445 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,000 And they're, you know, giving an honest review of that. 1446 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,920 So instead of just picking the products that they like or they're. 1447 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,160 Well, that's still an influence. 1448 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,360 It's a but it's de-influencing, though. 1449 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,720 So it's just saying this is my experience with this product, 1450 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,440 and I don't think it's worth the money. 1451 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,120 OK. So I mean, I get that they they're calling it de-influencing 1452 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,760 because it's like somebody's not like advertising for that. 1453 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:45,520 But like, it's still an influence to to not buy that purchase. 1454 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,040 Right. Yeah. 1455 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,840 But I mean, I think I don't I don't think that companies, 1456 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,520 marketing teams are going to look at it as still being influenced. 1457 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:59,760 I mean, it is a de-influenced don't buy this product because it's shitty.

No idea how I got here so fast. 1560 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:32,160 And because we live in Alabama, so there's not like distribution center for Spanx here. 1561 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:35,480 I mean, maybe there is, but I doubt it. You never know. 1562 01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:38,080 Yeah. It got here really fast. 1563 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,920 And and I tried it on and it is so comfortable. 1564 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,520 It has like so it has like thick material. 1565 01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:50,280 And it zips up in the back and it has like this long like zipper thing pull 1566 01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:54,800 so that you are not like trying to like kill yourself.
