  Speaker 1: You've heard the phrase it takes a village, right in
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: terms of like raising your kids.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, I have. I have heard that.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, I fully subscribe to this that it does take
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a village, And so I am turning to my FM
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: area village for advice. My teenager, he's fourteen, he'll bed,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: but not.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Old enough to know anything.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you nailed it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: That's exactly well.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Your dad is correct, Thank you, Greg Gldon. So he's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: turning fifteen in October. He starts high school this next
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: school year. Just for context on who he is, he
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: officially gave me his pitch for him joining social media.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So right now, he's staying in Washington for a few
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: weeks of the summer to be with his dad. We're
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: not together, kids are visiting their dad. I get a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: text from him Sunday night. These are the following reasons
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: why I should get Snapchat. One all of my friends
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: use it and it would be easier for me to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: communicate with them. Two, I will only add my friends.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Three I am a responsible young man. In parentheses, I think,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: thank you for listening to my presentation, and so I
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: told it instead of my knee jerk reaction by the way,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is to say, no, that's where my heart, my gut.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: That's what it was telling me that he did say.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I did say to him. I will take this into
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: consideration and get back to you with an answer later
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: this week, so I still have some time. I must
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: also discuss this with your father. And he said, okay, honey,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: good night. It's like good night, my baby. So he's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: so fun.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I want to know should I let.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Him join Snapchat or social media in general. He has
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a phone, he does not have internet access, so so far,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: right now, all he can do is text his friends, right,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But I'm not naive, and so I know that his
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: friends can send him whatever, like videos, messages, screenchuts, whatever
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: memes they want to send.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I know that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So right now what we do is random phone checks.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So at any given moment, I can just grab his
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: phone and look through all his stuff, and he's fine
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: with that. And I've never found anything alarming. I've found
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: like gross I'm a boy stuff, but nothing nothing alarming.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And so now this, you know, social media. I've been
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: trying to stave this off for as long as possible,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: so I don't know if it's avoidable or not. So yes,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: uh seven oh one two eight zho one nine eight seven,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: give give us a call, send a text. I posed
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: this question on Facebook should I let my kid join
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: social media?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: But I do want both sides of the story.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So if the answer is no, I am very receptive
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to that. But I also want to know parents whose
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: kids do have social media how do you monitor that?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Because when I present my argument to my fourteen year
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: old son, I want to have all the bases covered.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I'm on Aiden, Steam here, Aiden, get on social media,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: get out.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: There, get everywhere.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: How else are you going to secretly flirt with girls
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: without your mom knowing?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Oh my goshrible gates.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: No, No, there's absolutely nothing good coming out of social media.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: My kids are twelve, nine, seven, and five. We're getting
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a house phone. The question that's a great line question
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is my teenager who's starting high school this fall, has
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: asked if he could get a snapchat, And so I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: pose the question to Facebook should I let him join
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: social media?
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Why or why not?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And that was Courtney's response that no, nothing good comes
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: from social media.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: She's just getting a house phone for her kids.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But you know what, there were pros and cons for this,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Ashley said, absolutely no to Snapchat and social media too
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: many creeps which you can't keep up on. Because messages
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: can disappear or be deleted, it's hard to monitor. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that is something that because I use Snapchat and I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: know that I'm a wholesome lady, but I do know
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: how Snapchat works and messages do disappear. But then we
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: had a few people who were like on board with it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Ashley said, each kid is different on social media. All
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you can do is give your child a chance to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: prove which way he will go. And in my son's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: pitch to me, he did cite that he is a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: responsible young man and.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So that thinks he thinks, which is great.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: He did add that, yeah, that he thinks, and so
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: maybe I do give him a chance. Amberson, they have
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Family Center on Snapchat, which allows her to monitor her
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: fourteen year old who her fourteen year old interacts with.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Because some people I know a lot of people were like, no,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: social media is evil, blah blah blah, And I get that,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but also I do know that their kids out there
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: with social media, and so the parents chiming in saying
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: how they monitor their kids.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I find that helpful.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Also, Yeah, what so for kids these days. What about
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: letting him have Facebook? Or is that super uncool to fourteen?
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: If I came back and said you can't have Snapchat,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: but you can have Facebook, he'd say, what do you.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Want me to commit social suicide?
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: What are you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Doing to meet mother?
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Now I don't need it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: We did have.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: This feels like the most official answer. So this is
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Tom and he said school District Technology coordinator wig in.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay, titleh exactly.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: There's so much about Snapchat that makes it a terrible
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: social media platform with teens. The fact that messages disappears,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that's like the big worry on their end, leads to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: cyber bullying, sending revealing photos, and so much more. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: recommend using common Sense Media's lessons on digital citizenships, specifically
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: online safety before use of any social media. You know
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: what I didn't think about that. I use common Sense
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Media to look up what movies I'll watch with my kids,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and I have no.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Idea what this is, Oh common sense Media.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's like you h a website and then you type
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in like what movie you want to watch with your kids,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and then it'll come up with like a score or
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a rating based on like, based on these elements in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the film, it's okay for you to watch this with
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: your thirteen plus year old or with your seven plus
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: year old. I just didn't know that they had like
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a digital screening thing. You know what, we didn't have
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: any of this when we were kids.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, being a parent nowadays sounds like
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: an absolute nightmare. Back in the day, my parents would
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: let me hop on my bike or the summer and
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: kind of just go anywhere. And I think they just
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: sort of hoped, right.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I think that's where we were at.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Just surviving on hope and adrenaline.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: My kid wants to join Snapchat, he wants social media.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Do your kids have social media? Why or why not?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Seven o one two eight oh one to nine eight seven.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I need your advice.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I want to.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Know all of the the opinions. I need both sides.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I need to make a good argument to my kid
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: one way or the other.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I can't believe the problems parents have to deal with nowadays.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, parents would dread like, oh the talk,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: you know. Now they dread like, oh god, my kid
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: wants TikTok. Yeah, you know what I'm saying that would.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Be getting the top from.
• 7:48

  Speaker 7: has Snap and.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Book and how do you monitor that?
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: One of the well, one second, one of the only
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: reasons why she has Facebook is because she likes to
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: go on the marketplace to look for horse stuff.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I am so guilty of just scrolling marketplace looking at
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: stuff I do not need.

  Speaker 1: It's nicer when we're in here together one person. There
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: are some life hacks for good and there's some life
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: hacks for evil and to keep things balanced.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I'm going to share with you.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: A life hack for evil, but I feel like if
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I make you aware of it, then you know you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: can spin it into a positive.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, to see how you do that?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, here there's a new hack for cheating.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Oh that basically is foolproof, and this is what it is.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: Just learn today that people have been cheating through the
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: notes app. So you click your notes app, you type
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: in what you want to say to your side piece,
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: then you click the share button and this thing comes
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: up and it says collaborate. Then just pick who you
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: want to send it to, whoever's number you got, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: then they can open their notes app and they can
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: add or change your.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Note and look at this.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: It says they edited the note.
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: And then you could just delete what you said and
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: nobody's gonna know.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: There is someone listening right now who heard that and went,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: oh god, I need to erase what's in my notes
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: apps with my side piece. Someone just heard that in
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: panic this morning yes.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: But someone also heard that and thought I have felt
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: for weeks that there's something off, and I'm going through
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: their phone and I can't find anything. It's probably because
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you haven't looked in the notes app. This is wild
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: work Like at this point, just break up and.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Date someone new. Yeah, you're going through too many hoops.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I knew someone who was cheating through the Words with Friends.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: App because there's like a private chat.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: When you do Words of Friends, you can like private
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: chat with you know the person you're playing. Sure, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that's where they were they were cheating.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've I've never cheated on someone, So all
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: of these things sound crazy to me.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I really need to up my game, I guess.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Well, Yeah, where there's a will, there's a way.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: This works.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Summer of twenty twenty five could be a time for
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: you to potentially make a career change. We recently just
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: heard about Craig Robinson leaving comedy. Yeah all right, if
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: you are in the FM area, maybe this summer is
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: the summer of doing something different. Maybe you want to
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: go work somewhere else. Maybe you want something with different hours,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: maybe you want something with better benefits. Whatever people think
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: of a new job, right, and this is a part
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: of it, but not always a lot of people will leave,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: like you know, for more money essentially, right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: But sometimes you just want to do something else, Yeah,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Like you just want better hours.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Better benefits, more time with your kids, less time with
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: your kids.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Are you really maybe you realize you're just like not
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: passionate about the thing that you were passionate about before
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: seven oh one, two, eight oh one to nine eighty seven.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Have you ever just like completely pivoted and changed your
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: career path because Craig Robinson he's leaving comedy allegedly. I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: think it's a stunt, yeah, but.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: There was that guy who went viral on Instagram. He
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: was working at whatever job and he was like, I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: don't like my job. I want to change my life.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: He cashed out his four oh one K and decided
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I'm actually just gonna buy a boat and they around
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the world or whatever, and like he really did it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: This was such a fascinating journey and he ended up
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: like he was trying to end up in Hawaii, I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: think it was.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And he did it him on a boat with his.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Cat, and people were obsessed with watching this on Instagram.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: It was incredible.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really inspirational because it was like this guy.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You people talk about like changing their career because they're unhappy,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: but a lot of people don't go through with it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And I get it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of factors, like sometimes you can't just
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: up and change your life.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's tons of people. But when you.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: See people who do, it's like, oh, this is inspirational.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: So this is me announcing that I'm leaving radio. No,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding, No, I love radio. In fact, I was
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: going to be a teacher. I went to school to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: be a teacher. I was in college and halfway through
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, this is not it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: What am I going to do to know how to
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: take care of myself. I'm supposed to be teaching kids.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I have to make a pivot.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And then a lot of things happened and I ended
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: up in rading on this is my dream career.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: We have someone on the phone. You've changed your career.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, I left the stable marketing job to become a
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: full time writer. It was scary and chaotic, but totally
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: worth it. I've never felt more like myself. Even my
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: mom still thinks it's just a phase, and.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: That was that was Marino.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that, and it can be it can be terrifying,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: but you know what, maybe that changed is exactly what
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: you need. If a new career is what you need,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: make this summer the year you do it. Now July
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty five.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: The problem.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: It's today.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: We have Marissa who needs help determining if she's the problem. Hey,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Gab and Angie, hope you're having a great start to July.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: My name is Marissa, and I was wondering am I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the problem? Every Fourth of July weekend, me and my
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: siblings do a beach weekend Airbnb, grilling, games, fireworks.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I plan it all and book.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Everything, but my one sister, Tara, has flaked out three
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: years in a row. No emergencies, just stuff like bad
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: vibes or flat out ghosting us. This year, I gave
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Tara another chance, and she confirmed twice she was coming,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: but went silent two days before we took off, So
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I took Tara off the Airbnb and invited my bestie.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Then the morning of Tara texts me what's the address?
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: But I told her she was replaced, and she flipped out.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And now my family says I'm the bad guy for
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: making my sister miss our fourth of July. Do you
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: think I'm the problem?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Wait? So her sister said she was going, and yes.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: She confirmed twice, but she didn't communicate with her two
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: days before, and so when she finally texted her the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: morning of, she asked for the address, and then Marissa said, oh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: you've been replaced.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I I hate to say it. I think Marissa, I
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: think you are the problem.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: You think Marissa's the problem?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: You got to text each other every day to say
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I'm going seven.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Oh one too one nine eight seven? Do you think
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Marissa is the problem? I feel like I understand where
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Marissa's coming from.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think she's a bad dame in the past.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: She has been flaky in the past. She didn't and
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I know that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, if I confirmed, then why do I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: have to like keep confirming?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, but Tara, you did that to yourself.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: You do have to keep confirming because of your flaky
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: behavior in the past. So for Marissa to not hear
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: from her for two days before that sounds like a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: pre ghosting. And I'm team Marissa on this. I think
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Marissa you're not in the wrong. If Tara didn't have
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: this history of fla he dumb flake ship.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the word is.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Oh good try there, I got good try.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And she didn't have the history of flakiness, then I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: would think Marissa was the bad guy, and that she
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just wanted her friend to come along the whole time.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: And maybe this is just such a That's exactly what
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: I was just about to say. She I think she
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: was like, I don't need to hang out. I want
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: to hang on my bestie.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Well, and she probably oh you know what, Marissa, did
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you invite her and just assume she wasn't gonna come right,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: already had the friend, Yeah, already had the friend on deck,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and then thought, oh, well, she didn't text me for
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: two days, so that.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Counts by Marisa. I think that's what I think you're
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: the villain. Actually, look how I did a one eighty.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: What do you think do you think Marissa is the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: problem for kicking her her sister Tara off the fourth
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: of July weekend because she didn't hear from her two
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: days before the trip.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Are you someone who likes to go out to eat?
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Do you prefer takeout? Or fast food as I like
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: to call it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Or are you someone who likes to cook at home? Brandon?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: What about you?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Man, I like to go.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: Out to eat.
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: I think it's like, I don't know, it's like I'm
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: doing something and making a night out of it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: So that sounds stupid.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you, m Yes, that is one hundred percent the
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: correct answer. If you have the choice to avoid cooking
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: and doing all of those dishes and cleaning up and that,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: if you can just go.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Somewhere and pay for someone.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: To do that for you, superior answer. And I don't
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: even think it's close. This was a not a heated
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: but one of those like fun heated family conversations whilst
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I was camping over Fourth of July weekend. A shock
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: that people like to cook at their own house.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm with you about cooking. I don't love to cook.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I don't like to cook. I would like to avoid cooking.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: But the solution is not going to a restaurant, sir.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The solution is takeout because any at this point, because
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: of you know, all of the delivery services, it doesn't
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: have to be fast food any restaurant.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Really, it can be takeout.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And for me, That's especially important because Gabe, I'm not
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: trying to wear a bra, okay, And when I get
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: home from work, I take this thing off and it's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: not coming back on. So I can't then just go
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to a restaurant with these swingy hangies loosen about.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I don't deal with that issue.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh well, fine, well now I understand why our answers differ.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: But take out for me, so I can just relax
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: without restriction.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: What about you, Claire?
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: Honestly, I love cooking when I have the time. There's
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: something just so calming about it. But on busy days,
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: it's takeout all the way. And if I'm celebrating or
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: just you know, want to feel fancy. Nothing beats a
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: good restaurant you that someone else made.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, So she likes it all.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's a little roller coaster of emotions there. The
