  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty KFI AM six forty Handle here on a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, July seventh. Some of the big stories we
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: are looking at, Oh, SpaceX is about to join the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Nasdaq one hundred and gives new investors new exposure and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it's going to trigger more billions of dollars if you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: can imagine that. And the President is in Turkey for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the NATO summit and a lot of controversy there. We
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: talked about this earlier on this morning. Okay, it is
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: time for Tech Tuesday with Rich Tomorrow, kfi's tech Guy.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He is live every Saturday right here on KFI eleven
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: am to two pm. He follows me handle on the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: law Instagram at Rich on Tech, Rich on tech dot
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: tv is the website. Good morning Rich, Good morning Bill. Okay,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: let's start big case. Supreme Court and Texas had a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: law that age verification had to be in place before
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: children kids, even apps would be able to be downloaded
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: much less purchases, and the Supreme Court let that happen
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: upheld Texas. How big a deal is this.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal because there's a lot of other
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: states that might do something similar, and it's also a
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: nightmare for the tech companies because to have a patchwork
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of states all having different requirements for kids is not
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: something they want. It's something parents may want, for sure.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: But the law as it stands requires stores like you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the App Store and Google Play to verify users aids,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So if they're under eighteen, parental consent is required before
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: downloading apps or making in app purchases. And you might say,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: hold on, doesn't the App Store already do this? Not necessarily,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: so parents may have approvals turned on on their personal device,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you know, their devices for their kids, but it's not
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: something that Apple or Google requires at this point. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Apple and Google of course are opposing the law. They
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: say it makes everyone, including adults, verify their age, you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and that in turn is privacy issues, friction all this stuff.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Now. Quick question and I'm guessing here and you comment
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on this, is that until AI came into being, it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: fairly easy just to confirm that you're over the age
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of eighteen. You basically say yeah, I'm over eighteen. With AI,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it'd be much easier to verify because there's so much
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: out there on social media that AI can figure out
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: exactly how old you are based on birth certificates that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: are public, that are public documents, and other means social media,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: car ownership, et cetera. Because there are a few For example,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: eighteen year olds don't own one hundreds thousand dollars cars.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Am I right on that?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Well, this depends how big of an influencer they are
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: at this point. But yes, some of them probably do.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But I mean, yes, I think you're right about that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: because if you look at systems like Claude and open
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Ai chat EBT, they're already doing this in the background.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: When kids start to when they open accounts and they
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: lie about their age and they start to chat, these
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: systems will take proactive measures to say, hey, we actually
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: think you're a kid. Now you have to verify you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: are who you say you are. Google has done something similar,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: but a lot of that is more for legal reasons
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and not necessarily just for like app reasons. And so
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I understand why you might not want this for everyone
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: because basically more people may be forced to prove who
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: they are online using an ID, using some sort of verification,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: using a selfie that you know they may not want
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to do, right, And so it gets into this whole
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: idea of are we free online? Are we free to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: do what we want online? Can we remain private online?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So there are two sides this because it involves children,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Because it involves youth, I think more people would say, yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that's probably fine. But you know, what if you're seventeen
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: or what if you just turned eighteen? You want to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: protect your privacy and it's still asking you to prove
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you are over eighteen. Now you get to give up
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I D. So you know, there are two sides to this,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but we'll see how it shakes out. Because there's probably
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of money behind Apple and Google opposing this law.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Is an ida out there anyway, if I were to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: ask claude or chat GPT, how old am I when
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to come right back and say, here's your age based
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on driver's license that are on file, based on what
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I order, based on what can I afford to pay.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Although that is you're right in terms of influencers, but
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: enough documents are out there to nail it period. Nail it. Yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I mean you can go to any people search site
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and find that information. I don't. I mean if you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: ask chat GBT, and I think a lot of people
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: have done this. You know, give me my best guess
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: my age. Unless you've specifically told it your date of birth,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it will give you an estimation for sure, and does it. No,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think it can tap into you know, a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: driver's license database or anything like that or something the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: airlines have, but you know it can make approximations that
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: they're usually pretty good. So I think, yes, this information
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: is out there. It's again it's a matter to me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I think of like how much information. Like when I
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: had to sign up for the IRS website. I went
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: through this whole thing where I had to verify every
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: single piece of identification I had in my life over
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the internet, and it was kind of scary because here
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you are giving your social giving your driver's license, taking
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a video selfie, and you know all that information is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: going not only to the government but also a third
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: party identification verification company. And I think that's where it
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: gets a little kind of like, hold on, how is
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: this information being used? Where is it going? Who actually
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: gets to be in charge of this? I think those
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: are all very valid questions, you know where.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna take a break in a minute.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, right now and during the break,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask chat GPT, how old you think
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I am. I just went on, Yeah, I just went
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: on one of those machines at the gym where you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: sit barefoot and you hang onto this thing and it
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: gives you all kinds of information and then it also
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: gives you approximate age we think you are, and it
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: said I'm six months younger than I actually am.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's good.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: That was excellent. I mean, you know, I wanted to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be younger than that. You know, I don't spoke, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: don't drink, I weigh a normal weight. I've got some
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: mental issues, but that machine doesn't figure that out. So anyway,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go yeah, pretty well. We were talking about
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the age verification issue where the Supreme Court is letting
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Texas apply its law, that is, forcing age verification and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a new age verification law to take effect. And then
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I had said, I had asked Rich with AI out there,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it'll take two seconds for maybe, of course quicker to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: verify someone's age. So it used to be yeah, I'm
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: over eighteen, and okay, all you have to do is say, yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm over eighteen. But now with going on for example,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: an app, the platform can instantly see how old you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: really are. So what we did is I went on
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: chat GPT to find out what people how old people
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: think I am. Now. When I said how old do
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you think I handle is? They knew exactly the day
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I was born. They knew by birthday, they knew by age.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So I had to re ask that question, how is
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: my age perceived? And it was answered. Public perception varies,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but many people here Bill Handle the radio without knowing
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: his age, often guess he's in his late fifties to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: mid sixties. His voice is energetic, yeah it is, he
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: speaks quickly. Really you damn right, I do. He maintains
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a demanding work schedule and can make him seem younger
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: than his chronological age. On the other hand, people who
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: have seen him on TV, in videos, or public events
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: are more likely to estimate his age to be in
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: his late nineties.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Now it didn't say that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, oh sorry, IM has read that late sixties
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to early seventies now my age, and you can look
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it up anywhere. I'm actually seventy four, and a common
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: perception may be that he seems about sixty to sixty
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: eight based on on air persona. And so if you
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: look at what I look like, I look well closer
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to my actual age. So if you listen to Man'm
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: perceived to be younger, which is kind of neat if
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you me, I'm perceived to be decades older. And so,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: as I said, I'm seventy four. And you know what
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: people say. I get this all the time. Oh you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: know what, age is actually a number. It's only a number. Yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the number is seventy four. That's the number. Although sometimes
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm seventy three, so I feel much younger. Okay,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: with that being said, rich, how old are you?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: By the way, Oh gosh, I don't go try to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: find it. It doesn't it's all I don't. I don't
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: publicly say it because I don't want to. Yeah, I
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: don't want to upset people.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Why would you.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think. I don't think chat
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: ChiPT has it well, because you know, in Hollywood your age,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: like you know, people want young people, and when you
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: say you're older, it's like, oh, we're not interested in
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you anymore. I mean, it's not a problem in all
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: of Hollywood, maybe not for you, but on TV.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think radio. Yeah, I don't think radio. I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: don't think you would have a problem. Actually, I don't know.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Now there's a I mean, you're right, there's a huge
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: problem with a when you do porno films. I'll get that. Actually,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, the older someone is doing
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: porno films, the more interesting the film is. I think
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: there's a huge market for that. If I had to guess,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So let me ask, let me do this, I'm going
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to guess and tell me if I'm anywhere near right.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing you are in your mid forties, that is correct, okay,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And I have never seen and by the way, I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: have never seen what you look like.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: No, there's no way to see it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: What do you mean there's no way to see it?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You're on TV. You're on TTLA every day. Wow.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, then how have you not seen me?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I have not seen you because I just the other
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: thing I watch on TV, you bill, Okay, but you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: are more into the video stuff. My video stuff is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: documentary TVs. That's all I really watch. And I don't
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: watch local news. I watch national news. So I watch
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: one of the networks, you know, I Al Jazeera, BBC,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and then documentaries other than Ted Lasso al Jazera.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That's what you're watching.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I watch al JAZERI. Yeah, okay, yeah because I I
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: because I like the idea of newscasters, uh saying you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: should die and uh that's kind of fun. Yeah, it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a whole little all the cable channels. But yeah, it's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a whole it's a whole lot of psychological thing. Uh okay,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: getting back to a topic that we should talk about,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and that is uh June. June is a journal that
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: calls you what is that about?
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I thought this was pretty cool. I've been testing this
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: journaling app. It's called talk June dot com if you
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: want to check it out. But you know the problem
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: with journaling is that it takes a long time, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: nobody wants to sit there and you know, write out
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a big page at the end of the day when
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you've had a long day and you don't even know
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: what to talk about some of the times. So this
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: journal kind of turns that on its side. It calls
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you every night at a schedule time. It could be
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: seven pm, eight pm, nine, ten eleven, whatever, and you
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: pick up your phone and it says, hey, tell me
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: about your day and it's not just generic. It remembers
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: everything you've ever told it, and so it will ask
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you follow up questions, whether that's a day later or
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a week or a month later. Hey, I'm going to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: celebrate my birthday with my friends on Friday night. Cool,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I'll ask you how it is, you know, in a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: couple of days, how are you feeling about that, how
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you feeling about getting older?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Whatever?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: And so it's kind of cool. I've been testing it,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: and basically it writes the pages for you. But I
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: think the real interesting twist here is that because it
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: calls you, it kind of removes that big obstacle, which is,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you know, figuring out what to write and what to say.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: You're just talking to someone like you with a friend.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but why, And that's the question. Maybe it's just
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: me you do something. And I've never understood journal writing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I really never have. And I assume it's still a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: big thing. If not journal writing, certainly the actually the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: just the joy of journal writing to people, which of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: course I don't have. So you know, I guess you've
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: got platforms and programs are gonna do everything for you.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think I think the journaling thing is
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of mental health. You know, professionals recommend it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's people find it relaxing. I mean, I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't I get it. I don't like
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: it's like where does this go? But I think for
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: something like this, it's actually kind of interesting because you're
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: talking out you know, some of the things. Maybe not
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: your issues, I mean could be, but you know, when
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you're happy, when you're sad, what you're doing, and maybe
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: you want to leave this to your kids. Maybe you don't.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I like those programs, the AI programs that help you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: with mental health, for example, asking chat shept or Claude.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm really depressed and I'm considering killing myself. Well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: here are the ways you can do it. Do you
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: want to be painful or not? Do you want to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: make a big splash? Do you want people to get upset?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Those are always great things in the metal world.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm surprised you're not banned from CHATCHYVT yet
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: with those questions.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I spend a lot of time talking about
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: people dying because it just for some reason, just you,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I just like it. Okay, Rich heard every Saturday right

  Speaker 1: a gym at home, you consider that person wealthy. If
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: there's a home gym, amy, is that a wealthy person
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to you? No? Oh okay, uh cono wealthy? Well someone
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: has a house. If someone has an apartment, that's a
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: wealthy person to you. Yeah. Even a brand new tent
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: from RII is someone who's got money. I understand that.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But it depends on the gym. Yes, really Rock Johnson's
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: gym or okay, okay, that's true. No, that's true. And
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Jim at home rich wealthy? Yeah, like, it depends on
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: what the gym is. Right. We even need a small
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: gym because you have a room treadmill. No, well that's
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: not a gym, that's a treadmill. All right, talk about
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a gym, Jim. Okay. So the point is, how about this, Okay,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: when I tell you, how about someone who has let's say,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: let's say a room where it snows. Snowrooms, what is
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that about. That's the new thing. Snowrooms. They have those
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in Dubai. I mean, well, I can understand that because
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: they have a lot of money. But you go into
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: your house and there's a separate room, and there is
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: your room which is kept at basically below zero, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: snowfall comes and that's the middle of this heat wave.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: That's rich, that's rich. My favorite snow room is a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: board a ship. We're talking about a private boat. Shammad
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: al ben Salman, who is the titular head of Saudi Arabia.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: He has a boat that is I think two hundred
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: feet long, and he has a snowroom on his boat.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: That's rich. And that's the new thing. Even to the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: point where you've got these massive new spec homes that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: are being built all over, particularly here in southern California,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to go for tens of million dollars, the builders are
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: building snow rooms, climate controlled snowrooms. There's one Russian guy
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: who loved He grew up in this little Russian town
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: where there was obviously a lot of snow is northern Russia.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And what he did is in his snowroom, he put
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: in the trees. He put in the logs to make
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it look like a typical day in his village in
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the middle of the summer, and you walk in there,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and you're walking into his village and there's a gentle
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: snow coming down. You can actually make a hurricane strength
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: if you want. But no, that is a big deal.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: That is a really among the super wealthy. That's what's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: going on. I love doing these stories about when you have,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you know, more money than smarts, but not really because
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: billionaires are not made because they're not smart. It's just
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you know what the wealthy do. These these ships of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: two hundred feet long that have helicopter paths with helicopters
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: or submarine submersibles on the ship. I mean, it's pretty impressive.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Never heard of that snow rooms. Okay, go figure One
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of the things I like to do is research and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: maybe analyze and figure out what's happening to us in
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: our changing world, because the world is changing faster than
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: it ever has. One of the big changes is how
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: we perceive young people living at home. Last year, forty
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: nine percent of adults under the age of thirty lived
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: with a parent. That's up twelve percent since twenty nineteen.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: There are some reasons for it. High living costs. National
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: medium home prices about four hundred thousand dollars here in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: southern California. A million dollars doesn't buy you much of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a home. And how does someone in their twenties, even
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the thirties have a twenty percent down payment and then
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: have a mortgage of eight hundred thousand dollars. So we
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: got record rents we have, the income hasn't come near
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the inflation rate, and a student debt. I mean, it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: all crazy. So living at home for young people was
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: once considered you were a failure. Today it's actually considered
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: your financially stable, and not only stable, you're savvy. So
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: let me here's what happened to me. I was living
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: with a woman in my late twenties early thirties, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: we broke up, and here I was I'll never forget
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: at the age of thirty six, and I moved back
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: home for a year, and I was introduced to people
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: because I was single, and I had friends who decided, okay,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: it's time for introduce Bill to someone. And I would
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: be introduced and I would say, hi, you know, we
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: introduced my name is Bill, Okay, what do you do? Well?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm a pretty successful attorney and I live at home
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: with my mom and dad. Now let me tell you
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: my sex life that year was pretty sparse. No one
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: was very impressed. Today, even in my thirties, if I
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: lived with my parents, I mean I have to move
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: into the cemetery, granted, But in my thirties, I would
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: not be considered a failure, a weirdo. Where Why? Because
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you save your money? How's this? I'm in my thirties,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: let's say thirty mid thirties, and I'm saving up for
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a house, which if I lived at home, I would
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: never be able to afford, because the only people that
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: really can afford houses today are people who have owned
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: houses for long periods of time and have sold their homes.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: The only way I could have ever afforded the Persian
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Palace was the way that I did bought a home.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: First home, in my late twenties, I had rented it,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: so that's why I had to move back home in
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: my mid thirties, and I sold it. Then I bought
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: another home and sold it and sold it and incrementally
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: moved up. There is no chance today I could ever
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: afford that house that I had just non existent. How
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: many people in their early thirties it took out massive
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: student loans are still paying them off. So let's say
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you're saving money, and that's the reason you give for
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: living at home. Okay, it's accepted now. It is now,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: It's always been accepted among minorities. There becomes multi generational
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: if you look at, for example, the Chinese Asian families. Yeah,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: people live at home, kids live at home. And my mom,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: who grew up and was raised in Brazil, she lived
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: at home with her mother until she got married, because
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that's just what they did. And if you got married
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: in your thirties, just stay at home till the thirties.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: That's the culture. See, we live in a culture of independence.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: You're eight ten years old, out you go, because we
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: are probably, if not the certainly one of the most
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: independent societies. You're on your own. You got to pull
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: all yourself up, pull yourself by the bootstraps, and get moving. Well,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: it's too hard to get moving now when you're eighteen,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: twenty years old, twenty five years old, it's as hard
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: as nails. Okay, we're done. Just wanting to make you
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: feel better. If you're in your thirties and don't own
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: a home and you're living back home with your parents,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you're actually considered pretty savvy or the stigma of you
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: living at home is not nearly what it used to be.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So if you're introduced to me, for example, and we
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: start talking and you mentioned you live at home, Okay, loser,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: We're done, Darien, Shannon up next. We'll be back again tomorrow.
