  Speaker 1: about a lot of people do do it, and you
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: know what, it helps for a number of reasons.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, experts are saying it's actually a good idea.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: There's certain things they suggest you unplug when you're going away,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: because first of all, it's not going to drain energy, right,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: don't they call them like energy vampires or something.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Energy yeah suckers, yeah yeah yeah.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: And also fire hazards. I don't want that. So if
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: you're going away, they're suggesting unplug battery chargers, okay, space heaters,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I feel for sure, almost on the daily countertop appliances,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: home entertainment systems, wow, that's shutting down a lot, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: hairstyling tools.
• 0:46

  Speaker 1: I used to unplug everything before going on vacation for

  Speaker 1: some reason. It must be an OCD thing I have,

  Speaker 1: but not everything, but I like a majority of the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: home would be unplugged because I was afraid of the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: fire hazards while I was gone. I even I even
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: used to plug my Wi Fi router. This was like
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: maybe twenty years ago, before you relied on everything being
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: on Wi Fi.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's a little old school. I yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I have friends who still unplug their their router just
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: when they leave the house, like not even really going
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: away away, like they shut it down.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah I can't because you know, you have Google, you nest,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you have cameras, you have everything hooked up to eat it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But I used to have this thought, not for safety reasons, like, oh,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: let's give the router a rest.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It's probably tired, it's thinking too hard. It's a little Yeah.
