- 9:29Speaker 9: or just relaxing outside. When you start adding things like

- 9:50Speaker 9: nine seven to seven.
- 9:51Speaker 4: Light brito here for my friends at Actmeglass, who incidentally
- 9:56Speaker 4: have been in the Brasses Valley just about as long
- 9:59Speaker 4: as call not kidding nineteen forty six for Acme Glass.
- 10:04Speaker 4: That's pretty close to when actual automobiles started showing up
- 10:09Speaker 4: here in the Brass Valley, and today they are still
- 10:11Speaker 4: who you turn to when it comes to automotive glass. Look,
- 10:16Speaker 4: that's probably the reason most of us are going to
- 10:19Speaker 4: call a glass person next. The reason is most of
- 10:24Speaker 4: us have windshields, and most of us drive through construction
- 10:28Speaker 4: zones daily and it's just gonna happen where your windshield
- 10:33Speaker 4: is at some point going to get messed. And with Acneglass,
- 10:37Speaker 4: they have two locations specialize in auto glass, both Downtown
- 10:41Speaker 4: Brian and College Station. And it's not just about windshield
- 10:43Speaker 4: replacement and chip repair. They also do inspections. They'll restore
- 10:48Speaker 4: your headlights, They'll do mobile installation vans that will.
- 10:51Speaker 5: Come to you.
- 10:52Speaker 4: And also don't forget if you have a tractor or
- 10:57Speaker 4: some other heavy equipment that need laminated glass, they can
- 11:01Speaker 4: do that too. They will even deal with motorcycle windshields
- 11:05Speaker 4: that are cut to a perfect fits. That's a lot.
- 11:10Speaker 4: That's because Acneglass is your glass guy. Whatever you need, home, residential, commercial,
- 11:15Speaker 4: they got you covered. Find them online acneglass dot com.

- 12:56Speaker 4: entire toilet system make that inaccessible.
- 12:58Speaker 5: And that was quite the debate.
- 12:59Speaker 4: For a lot of people.
- 13:00Speaker 1: For a lot of people. I think most people gravitated
- 13:03Speaker 1: toward they would much rather lose their toilets.
- 13:05Speaker 4: Yes, and I mentioned that I am one of the
- 13:09Speaker 4: most fragile people when it comes to inconveniences that you'll
- 13:12Speaker 4: ever meet. Yes, I just I'm not a survivor. I'm
- 13:15Speaker 4: not a survivor. Not will Dusty totally survivors me. I'm
- 13:20Speaker 4: one of the first ones out.
- 13:21Speaker 1: No way, So when the zombie apocalypse happens, I'm not.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Making it five minutes. There's no way. And I don't
- 13:27Speaker 4: think I'm alone. Because they have shared this list here
- 13:33Speaker 4: of old school struggles that would break people today.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I've seen this list, and I think a lot of them,
- 13:40Speaker 1: and this would cripple people these days.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Some of you will remember these things, your kids definitely don't.
- 13:45Speaker 4: And I agree that if many people under the age
- 13:50Speaker 4: of twenty five encountered these things, they would literally not
- 13:53Speaker 4: know what to do.
- 13:54Speaker 1: It would freeze them.
- 13:55Speaker 5: Yeah, they would lock up in a heartbeat.
- 13:58Speaker 4: First using a manual type writer and you're thinking, why,
- 14:02Speaker 4: why would that be so hard? It's just like a computer, right.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Not so fast, my friend.
- 14:07Speaker 7: Well, as long as you type everything correctly.
- 14:10Speaker 4: It is as long as you're perfect. Yeah, because one
- 14:12Speaker 4: thing messes up, start all over.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Yeah, when that paper starts to look like mostly wide out,
- 14:18Speaker 1: it's time to start over.
- 14:19Speaker 7: Do they still teach typing in school?
- 14:21Speaker 1: They teach keyboarding?
- 14:23Speaker 4: Yeah, a school. Yeah, I used to use They had
- 14:26Speaker 4: us learning on Mavis Beacon back in the day Dome No, no, yeah, yeah,
- 14:31Speaker 4: it was like a like a your apple to e
- 14:33Speaker 4: little little type.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I was still typing.
- 14:36Speaker 7: No, we had typewriters.
- 14:39Speaker 4: You know what you else you had back when you
- 14:40Speaker 4: had typewriters, typing pools. People talk about jobs at AI
- 14:45Speaker 4: replaced guys, we already been replacing a lot of jobs
- 14:48Speaker 4: with the Internet and with your computer used to have
- 14:52Speaker 4: a whole career. You could be based on your accuracy
- 14:57Speaker 4: using an old school typewriter.
- 14:58Speaker 1: I had a friend who was like a savant when
- 15:01Speaker 1: it came to typing. I mean, she played concert violin,
- 15:05Speaker 1: so she had amazing dexterity and she could I can't
- 15:08Speaker 1: remember what the number was really, but it was over
- 15:10Speaker 1: one hundred words per minute. She could just fly through things.
- 15:13Speaker 4: That could get you, that could get you.
- 15:14Speaker 1: She got. She got a good job as somebody's private secretary,
- 15:17Speaker 1: just wrote all his correspondence that took care of his house,
- 15:20Speaker 1: old mansion in Austin.
- 15:22Speaker 5: Sharing a party line. Did you know several houses used
- 15:26Speaker 5: to be able to share the same phone line.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I remember, yep. My aunt Byrne had a party line
- 15:31Speaker 1: in her house just outside of Yoakham, Texas. And you'd
- 15:35Speaker 1: pick it up and mister Frale's down the road would
- 15:37Speaker 1: be on the phone. Sorry, mister Frale's, I'll check back later,
- 15:41Speaker 1: and they hang up, hang out.
- 15:43Speaker 7: And even so, I mean that didn't exist when I
- 15:45Speaker 7: was a kid. It had kind of gone away. But
- 15:48Speaker 7: if you picked up the phone and didn't dial anybody,
- 15:52Speaker 7: everyone did share that dial tone. Yeah, the dial tone,
- 15:56Speaker 7: so you could just talk to random people between the
- 15:59Speaker 7: dophone an intercom. Yeah, really annoying in it really Yeah. Uh,
- 16:03Speaker 7: here's another one. Finding out about snow days or inclement

- 16:32Speaker 5: I caught the end of that.
- 16:33Speaker 4: That a little bit when I was growing up, and
- 16:36Speaker 4: then obviously when I was I was working here and
- 16:39Speaker 4: doing radio and other places too. You would have if
- 16:41Speaker 4: you were unfortunate enough to do a night show and
- 16:43Speaker 4: it was in risk of freezing, it would just be
- 16:48Speaker 4: people calling is my school closed?

- 16:55Speaker 1: There used to have to be literal phone trees. Oh yeah,
- 16:59Speaker 1: and they had a specialized phone number that was not
- 17:02Speaker 1: published that you could call media outlets and give them
- 17:05Speaker 1: a code word and then tell them that your school
- 17:08Speaker 1: was closed. Because you'd have those prank callers.

- 17:30Speaker 4: Yeah, that was not it wasn't that long ago.
- 17:32Speaker 7: I mean, obviously that's been replaced by the Internet. There's
- 17:34Speaker 7: no point anymore, right.
- 17:35Speaker 4: What about when you went to the mall?
- 17:37Speaker 1: You first of all, when you went to the mall.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Day, Yeah, that's something else you'll never understand. When you
- 17:41Speaker 4: went to the mall or the movie theater here at
- 17:43Speaker 4: Sinmart Movies eighteen and you didn't have a cell phone,
- 17:47Speaker 4: what would you do to let your parents know it's
- 17:50Speaker 4: time to come pick you up. You would find a
- 17:52Speaker 4: pay phone. Yep, yeah, that's done, and you'd call Collect
- 17:56Speaker 4: one eight hundred C A L L A T T
- 17:59Speaker 4: or CO L E C.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you call call collect and hey, what's your name?
- 18:04Speaker 1: Come pick me up?
- 18:05Speaker 5: Yeah, that was it, so I went, did you guys?
- 18:08Speaker 7: Ever? You know those little canisters that the film comes in.
- 18:13Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, totally fit quarters perfectly. Yes, yes it did.
- 18:17Speaker 7: I did carry a little uh, carried one of those
- 18:19Speaker 7: around to stop at the payphone and be able to
- 18:22Speaker 7: make the call.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Good luck finding one of those canisters these days, either
- 18:25Speaker 4: by the wayhone to use it or quarters in many.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Cases, many cases.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Oh, researching things at the library, oh god, yes, because
- 18:35Speaker 4: you didn't have the Google. You certainly didn't have the Chat.
- 18:38Speaker 1: If you were lucky like me, you had a set
- 18:42Speaker 1: of encyclopedias.
- 18:43Speaker 4: Yeah, and that least let you stay at home and
- 18:46Speaker 4: write a pretty decent, you know, junior high research paper.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I mean, kids these days they're like, oh god, I've
- 18:53Speaker 1: got to write a three page paper. You got the internet.
- 18:56Speaker 1: We would write three page papers without having done in
- 18:59Speaker 1: any research or read the book or anything.
- 19:02Speaker 4: You would have to crawl through the stacks at the library.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Using the Dewey decimal cysty.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Like you were some type of Renaissance savant, you know,
- 19:11Speaker 4: like just crawling through the old scrolls to try to
- 19:14Speaker 4: find what you needed. Occasionally you'd have to use that
- 19:17Speaker 4: microfiche thing. Oh yeah, that searched through the old the
- 19:20Speaker 4: old newspaper artists writing everything down by hand before smartphones,
- 19:25Speaker 4: if you wanted to remember something had to be written down, recipes, directions, everything,
- 19:28Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's why we could write by
- 19:31Speaker 4: the way back to day.
- 19:32Speaker 5: You can't do it anymore.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Although to be fair, I've never been able to really write.
- 19:38Speaker 4: No horrible appementanship waiting by the phone for a call.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Oh God, used to sit there for hours.
- 19:44Speaker 4: Yeah. So if you were expecting someone to get back
- 19:46Speaker 4: to you on something like maybe it's important, maybe it's
- 19:49Speaker 4: just something when you want to talk to you whatever,
- 19:51Speaker 4: you would sit there and you would have to wait
- 19:54Speaker 4: for the phone to ring because the phone was attached
- 19:57Speaker 4: to your home.
- 19:59Speaker 1: It was into the world.
- 20:00Speaker 5: It was into the wall.
- 20:02Speaker 4: And then someone had did the nineties, Yeah, you might
- 20:04Speaker 4: have had a cordal's phone. But then you also dial
- 20:06Speaker 4: up internet. Nobody's sitting there and someone tried to get online.
- 20:09Speaker 4: What you would find out about because it would be
- 20:10Speaker 4: screaming at you.
- 20:12Speaker 1: That noise, hey, that was it was almost gone off.
- 20:15Speaker 5: I wait wait to hear from so and so. It
- 20:17Speaker 5: was just absolutely awful.
- 20:18Speaker 7: So I probably had dial up longer than than you
- 20:21Speaker 7: guys did, because I did that.
- 20:22Speaker 1: When did you get rid of dial up for yeah,
- 20:25Speaker 1: because were you one of the last hangers on the
- 20:27Speaker 1: last couple of thousands of als.
- 20:28Speaker 7: That wasn't quite that long, but I had it for
- 20:31Speaker 7: quite a while, and so I could. I know I
- 20:34Speaker 7: had it still in two thousand and a little after that,
- 20:39Speaker 7: because we had a second phone line for the motive, right,
- 20:45Speaker 7: And that was the one my daughter used, when my
- 20:46Speaker 7: oldest daughter used when she was in high school.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there was, so that was not that long ago.
- 20:52Speaker 4: You were using dial up pretty late in the game
- 20:54Speaker 4: good right, And.
- 20:55Speaker 7: She was like, uh, you know, hey, get off the computer.
- 20:58Speaker 7: I'm expecting a call.
- 21:02Speaker 8: Uh.
- 21:03Speaker 12: Man.
- 21:04Speaker 5: Let's see.
- 21:04Speaker 4: When I was growing up, every day on the radio
- 21:06Speaker 4: station that we listened to, they would announce the Cadets.

- 21:13Speaker 5: wait here on this radio station was were we? We
- 21:16Speaker 5: were the ones doing that.
- 21:17Speaker 1: I guess. So you would just sit there.
- 21:19Speaker 4: In your boxers and wait until they were like, hey,
- 21:22Speaker 4: we got the word, it's this uniform, and then everyone
- 21:25Speaker 4: would get dressed apparently, so can you even imagine the
- 21:28Speaker 4: unmitigated power then you would hold being a radio personality back.
- 21:33Speaker 1: The boy you could mess some people up. Oh lord,

- 39:02Speaker 4: A couple of text messages before we get down to
- 39:05Speaker 4: business here today. Okay, this person texting when I was
- 39:08Speaker 4: a kid next to our house. These baby owls fell
- 39:10Speaker 4: out of their nest and their mother left them on
- 39:12Speaker 4: the ground. Look at this picture.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Will see this picture.
- 39:14Speaker 4: A couple of days we adopted them until you get
- 39:16Speaker 4: them to a birds of prey sanctuary. They had not
- 39:19Speaker 4: opened their eyes, so they did not imprint on us.
- 39:21Speaker 5: Look at the size of those baby out there.
- 39:24Speaker 4: Those are monsters. Also in reference to uh, we were
- 39:29Speaker 4: talking earlier about the uniform of the day.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Right that it was announced on a radio program. Radio
- 39:35Speaker 1: cadets would know what to wear that day.
- 39:37Speaker 4: Which again is just way too much power to give
- 39:39Speaker 4: anyone at a radio station. Holy cow.
- 39:42Speaker 5: But it was not us.
- 39:43Speaker 4: It was ring to Bob. It was in the nineteen sixties.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Was KRRA, Yeah, which is the other radio station in
- 39:48Speaker 4: town of the two that was crazy? Uh and uh yeah.
- 39:52Speaker 4: Thank y'all for the Thank y'all for the corrections. Now
- 39:55Speaker 4: let's get down to business. Yesterday we had Mayor Bobby
- 39:58Speaker 4: Goutier's and now see what we did running for another term,
- 40:01Speaker 4: which is great. I always love to be able to
- 40:03Speaker 4: break some news on the show, but it's also very
- 40:05Speaker 4: important to talk to the people that actually handle the
- 40:08Speaker 4: business for the city of Bryan, it does. We have
- 40:10Speaker 4: the city secretary today, Melissa Brina.
- 40:13Speaker 5: How are you doing today. I'm doing great, thank you,
- 40:14Speaker 5: And we wanted.
- 40:15Speaker 4: To get you in to talk about elections in general,
- 40:17Speaker 4: because obviously it is election season and there are some
- 40:21Speaker 4: opportunities for people to declare, whether it's council, whether it's
- 40:24Speaker 4: mayor or whatever.
- 40:25Speaker 5: There's a process to this.
- 40:27Speaker 4: Let's start with the window if you so desired to
- 40:30Speaker 4: run for office in the City of Brian.
- 40:32Speaker 25: The window opened on July eighteenth, and that was a Saturday,
- 40:36Speaker 25: so obviously I was not sitting in the office and
- 40:37Speaker 25: the office was closed. So the official first day, or
- 40:41Speaker 25: the first practical day, would have been that Monday, the twentieth.
- 40:44Speaker 25: And the last day to file is August seventeenth at
- 40:47Speaker 25: five pm.
- 40:48Speaker 4: And that is a hard deadline. I would imagine that is.
- 40:50Speaker 25: A hard deadline set by the state Secretary of State
- 40:52Speaker 25: will cut you off if you are on the phone
- 40:54Speaker 25: with them asking questions and say this individual cannot run.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Okay, couch excellent. So again, very important, very important to
- 41:01Speaker 4: get your paperwork in. Now, what kind of paperwork are
- 41:04Speaker 4: they going to need to provide?
- 41:05Speaker 25: They will need to turn in their campaign treasurer report
- 41:08Speaker 25: or campaign treasure appointment and they will have to turn
- 41:11Speaker 25: an application for a place in the ballot.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so a couple of important things. So what
- 41:16Speaker 1: opportunities are out there for people who are seeking well,
- 41:20Speaker 1: not just elected office, but other types of things that
- 41:23Speaker 1: the city needs as well.
- 41:24Speaker 25: We also have boards and commissions, boards, commissions, and committee
- 41:28Speaker 25: appointments open right now, and you can't apply to be
- 41:31Speaker 25: on any of our fifteen boards, commissions or committees that
- 41:34Speaker 25: you anything you might be interested in. We usually recommend
- 41:38Speaker 25: that you apply for something that you might have some
- 41:40Speaker 25: knowledge about or you might have some expertise on, but
- 41:43Speaker 25: even if you're just interested in it, you're more than
- 41:45Speaker 25: welcome to apply.
- 41:46Speaker 4: I know there are probably a lot of people that
- 41:48Speaker 4: have at least it's flown through their head at some
- 41:50Speaker 4: point in time that man, I should get more involved
- 41:53Speaker 4: and maybe it's a committee. Maybe you really are It's
- 41:56Speaker 4: like I should run for I should run for council.
- 41:58Speaker 1: People tell you this all the time.
- 42:00Speaker 5: They are wrong, dead wrong.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Well, they got to wait for the Statute of limitations
- 42:04Speaker 1: on a couple of things.
- 42:05Speaker 4: Why would you want me in charge of anything? Good?
- 42:07Speaker 1: God?
- 42:07Speaker 4: But with that said, I always like when we get
- 42:11Speaker 4: someone in to talk about just because you think it,
- 42:14Speaker 4: but then like, I don't know anything about this. I
- 42:17Speaker 4: don't know what it takes. I don't know what their
- 42:19Speaker 4: requirements are. Like, let's say you're thinking this through. What
- 42:21Speaker 4: what what would.
- 42:22Speaker 5: You What are some of the FAQ's people give you
- 42:25Speaker 5: about running for.
- 42:25Speaker 25: Sorry, running for office?
- 42:27Speaker 4: Running Well, let's start with running for office.
- 42:29Speaker 25: Running for office. I don't really have particular FAQ's. They
- 42:32Speaker 25: usually just call me and say, hey, where's the information
- 42:36Speaker 25: to run? Do I need to come in and pick
- 42:37Speaker 25: it up? And this year we have it all online
- 42:39Speaker 25: so that makes it a little bit easier for folks.
- 42:43Speaker 25: But as far as boards, commissions and committees, they people
- 42:47Speaker 25: generally don't call into us. They'll call council members and
- 42:50Speaker 25: ask which board do you think I would be on?
- 42:53Speaker 25: Or I would be good on? Or which board would
- 42:55Speaker 25: you I'm interested in serving on this board? Will you
- 42:58Speaker 25: push that through?
- 42:59Speaker 5: Okay?
- 43:00Speaker 4: Okay? So basically just ask around and you might find
- 43:03Speaker 4: a place. It's a great thing, you know, and there
- 43:05Speaker 4: are a lot of different areas, a lot of different
- 43:07Speaker 4: committees that you could serve on that you I mean, geez,
- 43:10Speaker 4: people have expertise all sorts of things.

- 48:51Speaker 1: Three now you will feel the, difference particularly because the
- 48:54Speaker 1: humidity the due point will.
- 48:55Speaker 5: Draw that's the thing gets.
- 48:56Speaker 4: Drier, yeah it's it gets a real real nice About it's.
- 48:59Speaker 4: Nice we can it's about. It i'm, here tell me
- 49:02Speaker 4: about My, space not MY i remember My. SPACE i
- 49:06Speaker 4: was on My.
- 49:06Speaker 1: SPACE i never Had. MySpace, YEAH i.
- 49:09Speaker 5: Was wondering IF i had to be.
- 49:11Speaker 4: Convinced that was actually my first point of being convinced
- 49:14Speaker 4: to get into social. Media we had someone who was
- 49:17Speaker 4: an early adopters working up, here and he's, like, hey
- 49:20Speaker 4: you gotta get On.
- 49:21Speaker 5: MySpace that's where all the listeners.
- 49:23Speaker 1: Are, yeah AND i was, like what the hell's Of?
- 49:25Speaker 1: MySpace i had somebody tell me the same thing About,
- 49:27Speaker 1: facebook AND i still thought it Off.
- 49:29Speaker 5: Facebook.
- 49:30Speaker 1: Well so apparently the current current owners Of MySpace planning
- 49:34Speaker 1: a relaunch before, long. Right they what they're what they're
- 49:38Speaker 1: banking on is that everybody is sick and, tired right
- 49:42Speaker 1: of modern algorithm driven internet. Platforms, yes and that is.
- 49:46Speaker 4: True we are all sick of, it we hate. It
- 49:50Speaker 4: but what are they going? To are they going to
- 49:52Speaker 4: do something?
- 49:52Speaker 1: Different so it's it's the Brothers chris And Tim vanderhook
- 49:57Speaker 1: that bought My space back in twenty. Eleven they had
- 50:00Speaker 1: plan to launch it a, comeback but decided that it
- 50:03Speaker 1: wasn't quite right for whatever, reason so they considered it
- 50:07Speaker 1: to themselves the stewards of The MySpace. Brand so, now
- 50:11Speaker 1: with original co Founder Chris, doolf they argue that today's
- 50:15Speaker 1: social media is heavily criticized for its addictive hypercurerate curated
- 50:19Speaker 1: algorithms designed to maximize scream, time so they are are
- 50:24Speaker 1: going to bring it back there's no date on whether
- 50:27Speaker 1: a nostalgic revival or features like the customizable top eight
- 50:30Speaker 1: can make a meaningful. Return chat that was a world
- 50:34Speaker 1: ender right. There they are just chatting about it right.
- 50:37Speaker 4: Now, yeah that's the thing is we got to remember
- 50:39Speaker 4: that it wasn't it's magical play, space that top.
- 50:43Speaker 1: EIGHT i know nothing about.
- 50:44Speaker 27: It.
- 50:44Speaker 4: Okay so what you would, do will is you could
- 50:47Speaker 4: pick like your best friends and they would be in
- 50:50Speaker 4: your top. Eight that started real life fights between people
- 50:54Speaker 4: because if you didn't like, someone bump them off the top?
- 50:56Speaker 4: Eight oh, no what DID i? Do maybe you thought
- 50:59Speaker 4: you were never one number. Three the people would fixate on.
- 51:01Speaker 4: This they would send messages people are.
- 51:06Speaker 1: Move them down a little, bit not really like you
- 51:08Speaker 1: really cared where you fell on somebody's MySpace list.
- 51:12Speaker 4: Absol we absolutely all did back in the. Day but
- 51:17Speaker 4: here's the. Thing the reason we have the algorithms wasn't
- 51:20Speaker 4: because someone just had the idea, of, hey this is
- 51:22Speaker 4: a better. Way it just be they didn't have the
- 51:23Speaker 4: ability to do that back into my space if my
- 51:25Speaker 4: space was today as opposed to back in the early
- 51:29Speaker 4: mothm just.
- 51:31Speaker 5: A straight up algorithm fed like the rest of.
- 51:33Speaker 7: Them and it's going to be, again because why would
- 51:37Speaker 7: they build something and not want to maximize the screen,
- 51:40Speaker 7: time which is going to maximize the advertising.
- 51:43Speaker 1: Revenue it's inevitable they will go the same way how it.
- 51:47Speaker 1: GOES i don't think there's.
- 51:48Speaker 7: Work it's like when we have a sing, along we're, like,
- 51:50Speaker 7: hey we don't want you to listen. Anymore oh that's not.
- 51:52Speaker 5: Right you, know when everyone else goes, RIGHT i go.
- 51:56Speaker 5: Left maybe there's.
- 51:57Speaker 7: Something we do that we don't want you to listen
- 51:59Speaker 7: to this radio.
- 52:00Speaker 5: Stage send them, away send them somewhere.
- 52:02Speaker 1: ELSE i DON'T i don't know that there is room
- 52:05Speaker 1: in the social media landscape for.
- 52:07Speaker 4: Another, one for another. ONE i can't take another, one
- 52:10Speaker 4: to be honest with, YOU i really. CAN'T i just.
- 52:11Speaker 4: Can't AND i loved. MySpace I i have no desire
- 52:15Speaker 4: to add one more thing to my list of my
- 52:19Speaker 4: list of apps on my. Phone it's just there's nothing
- 52:22Speaker 4: less attractive to.
- 52:23Speaker 7: That but every, year, right each each one that's come,
- 52:28Speaker 7: along they're. There people have gotten a little bit, older
- 52:31Speaker 7: and the people you know younger than them coming up
- 52:33Speaker 7: want something that's their true.
- 52:35Speaker 4: RIGHT i, mean you don't want to be on the
- 52:38Speaker 4: same when your parents.

- 53:22Speaker 4: in that is that is the.
- 53:24Speaker 1: DEBATE i think you need to squash more than one
