WEBVTT 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:02.649 Okay. So we're going to classify social media 00:00:02.649 --> 00:00:08.150 platforms as areas of the country. Okay. So Facebook 00:00:08.150 --> 00:00:13.310 has now become the villages in Florida. It is 00:00:13.310 --> 00:00:15.990 full of old people who are either having way 00:00:15.990 --> 00:00:19.030 too much fun or they're having some really bad 00:00:19.030 --> 00:00:22.329 problems and are yelling at the clouds. Okay. 00:00:22.789 --> 00:00:26.809 Facebook is the villages. Am I wrong? It's 100 00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:39.859 % true. I agree. Okay. MySpace is that mall that 00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:42.600 you used to go to all the time that you drive 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.640 by that's been bulldozed, right? That nobody 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.960 has rebuilt that lot yet. Like, nobody could 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.299 figure out what to do with it. And it's just 00:00:50.299 --> 00:00:52.880 an empty lot now. But every time you drive by 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.259 it, you're like, remember that mall? That was 00:00:55.259 --> 00:01:03.740 cool. Blockbuster. Now, Blockbuster was way cooler 00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:08.239 than MySpace ever was. Whoa, MySpace was sick. 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.819 Blockbuster was sicker. I don't know. Facebook 00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:18.480 is a sentient age of a board. That's no. Sorry, 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.859 if we're doing this now. Next door, I don't know 00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:24.900 how many of you are familiar with the next door 00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:27.909 app. Next door is a social media. It's a localized 00:01:27.909 --> 00:01:29.769 social media app where you can talk about the 00:01:29.769 --> 00:01:31.290 things that are happening in your neighborhood. 00:01:31.370 --> 00:01:36.150 And it is the sentient HOA board full of parents 00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:41.650 who are telling you exactly where you should 00:01:41.650 --> 00:01:44.469 be parking your car and why are there cops on 00:01:44.469 --> 00:01:47.409 that street and what's this new business and 00:01:47.409 --> 00:01:51.049 what are you doing? OK, and the kids, the kids 00:01:51.049 --> 00:01:54.750 are running around with no parents and and for 00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:58.750 shame. for shame okay that is what next door 00:01:58.750 --> 00:02:01.969 is okay chat you can go ahead and throw out your 00:02:01.969 --> 00:02:03.769 your social media apps that you want us to talk 00:02:03.769 --> 00:02:12.370 about um tiktok is vegas okay it is short it 00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:15.469 does it like The reason you can't get away from 00:02:15.469 --> 00:02:18.210 it is because everything's changing every 60 00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:22.610 seconds and it's just sensory overload. OK, TikTok 00:02:22.610 --> 00:02:26.870 is the Las Vegas of social media apps. That's 00:02:26.870 --> 00:02:29.990 really what it is. Occasionally, you see boots 00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:32.229 and occasionally, apparently now you see boobs. 00:02:33.449 --> 00:02:38.969 OK. Twitter, Twitter is probably the most difficult 00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:42.120 one. And yes, I still refuse to call it X. Right 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.520 Elon can take a flying leap. It's still Twitter 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.939 Yeah, still Twitter. Even they there's a documentary 00:02:47.939 --> 00:02:51.400 on Twitter and even the creators of Twitter still 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.319 they said they still call it Twitter. Okay, Twitter 00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:02.479 Twitter is that that part of town? That's trying 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.199 to always act like it's better than it is Right. 00:03:06.620 --> 00:03:10.199 They want to be the rich part of town. They want 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.169 to be the really nice upscale area. So they plant 00:03:15.169 --> 00:03:18.310 these fancy trees and they do this stuff and 00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:20.229 they make these big, bright buildings and things 00:03:20.229 --> 00:03:23.169 like that. But in the building is a strip mall 00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:28.210 with a dollar general. OK, you're trying really 00:03:28.210 --> 00:03:32.389 hard. OK, you're trying really, really hard to 00:03:32.389 --> 00:03:35.909 be really nice and upscale and fancy and just 00:03:35.909 --> 00:03:41.379 failing at it. So I'm thinking like. Are you 00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:46.719 thinking, I don't know, awful. I'm thinking so 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.719 for doing it in the Seattle world where we all 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.780 live, it's federal way.

When when they 00:04:23.209 --> 00:04:26.050 switched over to X threads, now threads is not 00:04:26.050 --> 00:04:31.449 Kent.

There's gonna be place YouTube 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:24.079 is any sci -fi show set in Vancouver Says the 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.490 YouTube chat that That might be pretty close 00:08:27.490 --> 00:08:30.589 to the truth. That might be pretty close to it. 00:08:31.170 --> 00:08:37.789 Truth social is Montgomery, Alabama. Oh, oh, 00:08:37.789 --> 00:08:43.529 is that the Donald Trump one? Yeah.

Right. Because there's just enough cool 00:08:57.980 --> 00:08:59.700 shit in Texas to keep it from being a complete 00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:03.360 dumpster fire. To socials, Montgomery, Alabama. 00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:07.519 I will say a lot of people from the Pacific Northwest 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:12.240 is currently relocating to Texas. Even today 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:17.759 at work. Whole group of people were talking about 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:23.899 legit moving to Texas. Up. Right. I think YouTube 00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:27.559 got it. Snapchat is Miami. No memories because 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:31.379 that cocaine hit differently. And you're going 00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:33.340 to put some shit on there that you probably shouldn't 00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:38.179 have. You're from Florida. Would you would you 00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:40.419 agree that with that one? Snapchat is Miami. 00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:48.419 Yeah. Yeah, that sounds about right. And I never 00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:52.889 I was never really on Snapchat. So so we're calling 00:09:52.889 --> 00:09:55.450 it now snapchat is Miami. So as somebody who's 00:09:55.450 --> 00:09:57.129 from Florida because I think I forget what Instagram 00:09:57.129 --> 00:10:01.370 is What is the place that everybody wants to 00:10:01.370 --> 00:10:05.210 act like is as cool as Miami, but isn't in, Florida 00:10:05.210 --> 00:10:09.809 As cool as like where they're like it's as cool 00:10:09.809 --> 00:10:12.990 as Miami and you're like no, it's not I would 00:10:12.990 --> 00:10:16.289 say like maybe to me. I would say Jacksonville. 00:10:16.490 --> 00:10:20.440 Okay Insta do people try and like act like it's 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.120 kind of hip and cool and But really they're just 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.580 fronting Yeah, okay Instagram is Jacksonville 00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:30.039 somebody in the chat. What about Tampa? What 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:39.039 do we say about Tampa? Tampa No No Tampa did 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.059 no Because like Tampa to me was like always like 00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:45.919 really nice because you have like the giant aquarium 00:10:47.850 --> 00:10:51.549 and then typically if you live in Tampa you work 00:10:51.549 --> 00:10:58.009 I believe you work in like Disney or something 00:10:58.009 --> 00:11:01.789 but yeah you know I don't I don't know like Tampa 00:11:01.789 --> 00:11:08.070 Tampa's pretty nice so all right so we're going 00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:11.330 with we're going with Jacksonville Jacksonville 00:11:11.330 --> 00:11:13.629 all right Instagram sorry you're Jacksonville 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.200 You got stuck there. Alright, that was actually 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.539 kind of a fun little topic. I think we've run 00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:26.679 out of social media platforms to talk about for 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.059 right now though. So what do you think? What 00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:31.460 do you think of our assigning these locations 00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:34.980 to different social media platforms? I think 00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:38.080 that's a funny concept. Let us know where you 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.159 would put these places in the comments below.
