10:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see here. Okay, excessively large group group chats.
10:20
Speaker 3: That's a tough one for people.
10:22
Speaker 1: Damn for people in a group chat. Yeah, that's a lot.
10:26
Speaker 3: That's a tough one, man, because you know what, as
10:31
Speaker 3: soon as the third or fourth person replies, yeah, I'm done, Yeah,
10:38
Speaker 3: I'm done.
10:38
Speaker 1: I I literally cannot follow.
10:41
Speaker 3: I can't go back, and if I have to scroll
10:43
Speaker 3: all the way up to start the chat, I'm done.
10:47
Speaker 1: Yeah I can't.
10:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what's tough for me Sometimes in the
10:51
Speaker 2: group chats when people just like sense sense stuff, you know,
10:57
Speaker 2: like like YouTube video memes. No no me memes are
11:02
Speaker 2: cool because they're like fifteen seconds, right, you just watch them.
11:05
Speaker 1: You know what people send like long YouTube videos.
11:09
Speaker 3: The link that texts you out of the text chams.
11:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they send multiple.
11:16
Speaker 2: Of those, and I'm like, oh my god, I got
11:17
Speaker 2: to sit here watch like forty five minutes worth of.
11:20
Speaker 3: Like here's a question. Yeah, like text etiquette, Okay, yeah,
11:26
Speaker 3: did you like one long text or like five and
11:32
Speaker 3: six different ones?
11:35
Speaker 1: Some people are like.
11:36
Speaker 3: Clean clean clean clean clean clean clean clean clean clean.
11:38
Speaker 3: You're like, you could have put all that in one
11:41
Speaker 3: paragraph and I just read it, you know, like one long,
11:44
Speaker 3: one big blue bubble as opposed to like six little bubbles.
11:48
Speaker 1: Like does that bother you at all? Because I've done both.
11:53
Speaker 3: Yes, that's why I asked, I don't do that to you.
11:55
Speaker 1: Man, you've mastered out the kid it. No.
12:01
Speaker 2: I think sometimes when when when like my brain is
12:04
Speaker 2: just like, you know, I'll send one and then I'm like,
12:06
Speaker 2: go ahead, and then here's the next thing, and here's
12:08
Speaker 2: the next thing. But I normally don't. I normally don't
12:11
Speaker 2: send them. Do you send multiple text or you just more?
12:15
Speaker 1: I sometimes do, Man, I'm not dude.
12:18
Speaker 3: I'm dude because because I'll just send a ha ha
12:21
Speaker 3: ha and then be like that was funny. That's another one.
12:23
Speaker 3: And like honestly to be to be honest blah blah
12:26
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah. That's another one. And like anyways,
12:29
Speaker 3: talk to you later. Boom, that's another one. Yeah, And
12:31
Speaker 3: so I can only imagine that when they're like in
12:33
Speaker 3: their phone just goes.
12:34
Speaker 1: Clean clean, clean, clean, clean clean clean. I don't mind it. Okay,
12:39
Speaker 1: that's good to know. Yeah, I don't mind it. That's
12:41
Speaker 1: good to all right, what's.
12:43
Speaker 3: Voice notes this is a very controversial topic.
12:48
Speaker 1: Yeah.

13:12
Speaker 1: like Uh, that's not it's just like the like it's
13:19
Speaker 1: like these uh these voice memos that they sent to me.
13:25
Speaker 1: Is that a gen Z thing?
13:27
Speaker 3: The accent You guys don't have the accents of gen Z.
13:30
Speaker 1: You guys don't like voice. Is that a gen Z thing?
13:32
Speaker 1: What is that?
13:35
Speaker 3: Why are you asking about?
13:40
Speaker 1: He's not you? You're a millennial? Man? Is a gen
13:44
Speaker 1: X millennial? Yeah, I'm a boer.
13:51
Speaker 2: I like them, man, I like them because because I've
13:55
Speaker 2: gotten in trouble. In trouble, but I've gotten flag on
13:59
Speaker 2: this in the past. Or sometimes I'll send an email
14:02
Speaker 2: or or a text and and something gets lost in
14:06
Speaker 2: translation and people take it the wrong way.
14:09
Speaker 1: That you know, my love voicemails to for that reason.
14:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, where I've literally had people call me and go, hey, man,
14:14
Speaker 2: did I read your text the right way.
14:17
Speaker 1: Did you mean this?
14:17
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, I didn't mean that, and they're like,
14:19
Speaker 2: well read that way, and I'm like, oh my god,
14:21
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
14:22
Speaker 3: Like and by the person who was receiving the text,
14:26
Speaker 3: it was so hard into like the oh you didn't
14:28
Speaker 3: put a coma there, or you'll put a period after okay,
14:31
Speaker 3: like what what's wrong?
14:33
Speaker 2: No, No, it's it's it's more about like like the emo,
14:36
Speaker 2: like what I meant, you know, the emotion behind it,
14:39
Speaker 2: you know, like they I don't know. So I've I'm like, okay,
14:42
Speaker 2: that's cool. You know, I'll send you like a little
14:44
Speaker 2: voice message. So then that way you could hear the
14:49
Speaker 2: tone in my voice. You know, you can hear the
14:51
Speaker 2: emotion in my voice and know where I'm coming from,
14:54
Speaker 2: so that you don't get offended.
14:56
Speaker 1: You know. Well, I love voicemamo.
15:00
Speaker 3: I have a thread right now, a couple of partners
15:02
Speaker 3: with mine, and we just send voice memos all day long.
15:05
Speaker 3: And I think also for me, it's like if I'm driving, yes,
15:08
Speaker 3: if I'm walking and I'm always in the move, a
15:12
Speaker 3: voice memo was the easiest thing to say. Also, like
15:15
Speaker 3: I can't just read texts all the time. Yeah, if
15:18
Speaker 3: I'm in the car, I get dizzy. If I'm driving
15:20
Speaker 3: in the car, I definitely can't write, so I won't
15:22
Speaker 3: do that. But the voice memos I can. I can
15:24
Speaker 3: reply to somebody in the car.
15:27
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:28
Speaker 2: And it's easier than picking because if you pick up
15:31
Speaker 2: the phone, that's.
15:32
Speaker 1: An hour, man, that's an hour, right or half an hour.
15:35
Speaker 3: Don't let us get on the phone.
15:38
Speaker 1: That's true. That's that's how this podcast. I don't want
15:40
Speaker 1: us to win, man, So this podcast started. But it's
15:44
Speaker 1: an hour, man, it's it's half an hour.
15:46
Speaker 3: So what about you guys at home, man, comment on
15:48
Speaker 3: this bar. I want to hear what you guys.
15:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, and it's okay. That was
15:54
Speaker 1: a few more.
15:54
Speaker 2: Screens that flip around to ask for twenty percent on
15:58
Speaker 2: a four dollars coffee.
16:00
Speaker 1: Oh, this is a good one. And then what and
16:03
Speaker 1: then they stare at you.
16:04
Speaker 3: It's a good one, bro, because now most coffee shops,
16:08
Speaker 3: like you get you asked for two coffees and maybe
16:11
Speaker 3: a croison or a cupcake or whatever. Yeah, and it's
16:15
Speaker 3: like like forty five bucks, and then twenty percent of
16:22
Speaker 3: forty five bucks is what ten bucks technically?
16:25
Speaker 1: Yeah?
16:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, So You're like, you just pour my coffee and
16:31
Speaker 3: you're handing me over a cupcake. Yeah, and I'm like,
16:35
Speaker 3: or they're not even making your coffee, right, you get
16:39
Speaker 3: two coconut waters and a paste or whatever, and you
16:41
Speaker 3: send it to you and they're asking you give ten
16:43
Speaker 3: dollars right automatically. It's like it's like nineteen twenty and
16:48
Speaker 3: twenty two. Some people have twenty twenty two and twenty
16:52
Speaker 3: four percent. So like if you just get breakfast for
16:58
Speaker 3: everybody and you're picking up at the counter right, like,
17:01
Speaker 3: no one's taking it to your table, they're asking you
17:04
Speaker 3: to do twenty two percent or twenty percent tip on
17:07
Speaker 3: like one hundred and fifty bucks, that's like thirty that's
17:12
Speaker 3: forty bucks.
17:13
Speaker 1: Bro. Yeah yeah I was.
17:14
Speaker 3: And like, look, I'm gonna just start by saying I
17:17
Speaker 3: worked in the in the service industry.
17:19
Speaker 1: I was a busboy once. Right. I've had restaurants in
17:22
Speaker 1: my life.
17:23
Speaker 3: I had tons of restaurants that i've you know, in
17:25
Speaker 3: my in my twenties and my thirties. I currently have
17:28
Speaker 3: a restaurant in Washington, DC, Coelagansia at La Cosecha, which
17:32
Speaker 3: is a Mark Union Market spinoff.
17:36
Speaker 1: Really beautiful so.
17:39
Speaker 3: Tips are incredibly critical for the sustainability of our service,
17:44
Speaker 3: you know, and specifically those individuals who.
17:47
Speaker 1: Put all that work.
17:48
Speaker 3: So don't get me wrong, I'm not saying like they
17:50
Speaker 3: don't deserve to be tipped, right, I'm just saying, like
17:52
Speaker 3: these screens are aggressive, right, Like, it's not like you know,
17:59
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a lot, and nowadays to you have
18:03
Speaker 3: to tip forty five dollars, fifty dollars, sixty dollars.
18:07
Speaker 1: Sometimes, I mean that's a lot.
18:09
Speaker 3: That's a lot for because food is getting more expensive, right, Like,
18:12
Speaker 3: the service is not going impressive, So it's tough, like
18:15
Speaker 3: it's a it's a very it's a tough thing to.
18:18
Speaker 1: Do, you know.
18:19
Speaker 3: But I how do you feel about the screens?
18:24
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think it's a case by case basis. Right.
18:28
Speaker 1: It's like what you said.
18:29
Speaker 2: If I'm just going to the to the airport little
18:32
Speaker 2: convenience store and I'm buying a coconut water, like I
18:35
Speaker 2: should give you twenty percent on top of that, Like,
18:37
Speaker 2: you know, but if I'm sitting down and I'm having
18:39
Speaker 2: a dinner and you're and you're serving me and my
18:41
Speaker 2: wife and and my family, that's a that's a different.
18:44
Speaker 1: Creative experience and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's different.
18:47
Speaker 1: So the airport is so crazy too.
18:49
Speaker 3: The airport is like you're going to end up like
18:51
Speaker 3: like sixty five bucks eighty bucks just to get your
18:54
Speaker 3: snacks on the plane and get the stuff or whatever.
18:57
Speaker 3: And then they're suggesting twenty percent of you just running apart.
19:01
Speaker 3: You just pick things up from the from the from
19:04
Speaker 3: the shelves and from the cooler or whatever right up
19:07
Speaker 3: to the thing. Sometimes you scan it yourself and they're
19:10
Speaker 3: asking you for today, and it's like, it's cool. It's
19:13
Speaker 3: really kind of intense.
19:14
Speaker 2: You ever you ever had that, like, you know, young
19:17
Speaker 2: person behind the counter when they flip the screen and
19:19
Speaker 2: they're looking at you.
19:21
Speaker 3: I mean I had I've had some respectful people that
19:25
Speaker 3: that flip it and they look away.
19:27
Speaker 1: You know, you.
19:30
Speaker 2: Know you're gonna leave the tip buddy.
19:38
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's tough, tough. I mean, it's really tough.
19:42
Speaker 3: But I also I will also say though, one of
19:47
Speaker 3: my frustrations with it is because I know for a
19:51
Speaker 3: fact that the restaurant keeps them keeps the tips. They
19:56
Speaker 3: do a pool system where a percentage of the pool
19:59
Speaker 3: goes to the service to all our service people. That's
20:01
Speaker 3: the whole, and then they keep a percentage of that
20:04
Speaker 3: for So that's the other thing that frustrates me. It's
20:07
Speaker 3: like they're getting you for all this, for this money,
20:10
Speaker 3: and the server or the person that created that experience
20:12
Speaker 3: for you doesn't get the money.
20:15
Speaker 1: Wasn't get the money.
20:16
Speaker 2: Because that's the whole purpose of tipping, right is because
20:18
Speaker 2: they don't make a living wage, and so you're trying
20:21
Speaker 2: to bridge the gap.
20:22
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
20:23
Speaker 3: So that's like there's restaurants and there's establishments where that
20:26
Speaker 3: tip doesn't go to your person.
20:29
Speaker 1: I don't know that.
20:30
Speaker 3: Also a valet people, if you tip with your card, yeah,
20:34
Speaker 3: a percentage of that goes to them, not the tip.
20:37
Speaker 3: That's what you if you have a chance to tip
20:39
Speaker 3: your valet guys, you know your valet girls, like just
20:42
Speaker 3: give them cash because because once you put in a
20:45
Speaker 3: credit card, they don't won't see it that day, they'll
20:48
Speaker 3: just see a little bit of a percentage that goes
20:50
Speaker 3: against you know what their ecrupment is.
20:53
Speaker 1: For the for the companies. Do you ever feel when
20:55
Speaker 1: you're at a restaurant?
20:57
Speaker 2: Do you ever because right eventually people know who you
21:00
Speaker 2: are right when we sit down.
21:01
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel like you got to leave.
21:05
Speaker 2: More than the average person because the person serving you
21:10
Speaker 2: knows who you are, and you know that when you
21:12
Speaker 2: get up, they're gonna say. You know, the first thing
21:16
Speaker 2: is like what how much tip?
21:17
Speaker 1: Did he leave you?
21:18
Speaker 2: Right?
21:19
Speaker 3: And so you know that's gonna know it's crazy. Is
21:21
Speaker 3: that your credit card? Also when they run your credit
21:24
Speaker 3: card on the receipt, it says your.
21:26
Speaker 2: Name on it, the company name. Yeah, do you ever
21:29
Speaker 2: you ever feel that pressure to go?
21:31
Speaker 1: All right? I can tell they they for.
21:34
Speaker 3: The most part, Yeah, I'll tell you this, for the
21:37
Speaker 3: most part, I'm pretty I'll be honest, I'm pretty generous.
21:43
Speaker 3: I'd like to be generous because I used to be
21:45
Speaker 3: a bus boy once, so that that comes from there.
21:47
Speaker 3: I'll just like over tip. But then when they go
21:50
Speaker 3: above and beyond and they're so nice to me and
21:52
Speaker 3: they recognize me for my work and they say sweet
21:56
Speaker 3: things to me, and they just they go above and
21:58
Speaker 3: beyond and they bring you like an extra little thing
22:00
Speaker 3: for your kid or they bring you know, like they
22:02
Speaker 3: make the experience so nice because they just like they're
22:04
Speaker 3: giving you an exchange of gratitude. I mean that's when
22:08
Speaker 3: I would like, I'll tip like one hundred and fifty percent,
22:12
Speaker 3: I'll do two hundred percent. That's awesome because they just
22:15
Speaker 3: I know what it feels like, and I try to leave.
22:18
Speaker 3: I never want to see them see it. I try
22:20
Speaker 3: to pay, do the thing, drop, drop the gift, and
22:23
Speaker 3: then just bounce because I don't want to be there
22:27
Speaker 3: for it. But I've seen on Instagram some people have posted, like,
22:30
Speaker 3: my god, Wilma sent me this da da da da,
22:32
Speaker 3: and it's oh, really, it's beautiful to see that they
22:34
Speaker 3: appreciate it.
22:35
Speaker 1: You know. I thought you were going to say the opposite,
22:37
Speaker 1: you know.
22:37
Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, only one hundred and fifty percent
22:41
Speaker 3: cheap bastard.
22:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
22:43
Speaker 2: No, I had an incident what time, you know, when
22:46
Speaker 2: I was like in my twenties, you know, when I
22:48
Speaker 2: first like started making like a little money, you know,
22:51
Speaker 2: And there was somebody I went to high school with
22:54
Speaker 2: who was the server. And I went there with a
22:57
Speaker 2: bunch of my high school buddies, you know, and I
23:00
Speaker 2: have them twenty percent, you know what it said on
23:02
Speaker 2: the check, you know, and then she she she told
23:05
Speaker 2: my buddies afterwards that I was cheap, that I didn't
23:07
Speaker 2: that I didn't tipper enough.
23:10
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not enough. Like, how much twenty
23:12
Speaker 1: percent is the top? Isn't it? How much of money?
23:14
Speaker 1: I suggested, it's fifteen twenty percent is the top?
23:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously they moved the goal post, right, but twenty
23:20
Speaker 3: percent used to be very good?
23:22
Speaker 1: Yeah?
23:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, But but I only bring that up to say
23:24
Speaker 2: that that it was at that moment I realized like,
23:28
Speaker 2: oh oh, people are really paying attention to what you
23:31
Speaker 2: leave and and have opinions about it afterwards, you know.
23:36
Speaker 1: Uh, And and not to.
23:37
Speaker 2: Say that I don't want to do it out of
23:40
Speaker 2: out of my heart, you know, because that's where it
23:42
Speaker 2: comes from, right. But like, but then there's that extra
23:44
Speaker 2: factor of it that that people are going to scrutinize
23:47
Speaker 2: on what.
23:47
Speaker 3: You leave and are going.
23:49
Speaker 1: To talk about it afterwards. We're never going to win,
23:51
Speaker 1: just understand. Yeah, QR code menus, I hate you? You do?
23:56
Speaker 1: Why because what happens right?
23:59
Speaker 2: Well, first of like you know, like we're grown men, right,
24:03
Speaker 2: Like I want to have a freaking man. I want
24:05
Speaker 2: to go to a restaurant and have the experience and
24:07
Speaker 2: have you know, I'm like a teenager.
24:10
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll scan something, but I'm like.
24:11
Speaker 3: Oh, you know where that comes from. That's all really
24:14
Speaker 3: multiplied after COVID.
24:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, people are like contact less, you know, they want
24:18
Speaker 3: to pass the menus back and forth. They want to
24:21
Speaker 3: disinfecting the menus for every customer. So that q QR
24:25
Speaker 3: code is like you want to look at the menu,
24:28
Speaker 3: look at it from your sancification phone. Yeah, man, and
24:32
Speaker 3: you do you know that sancify my menu.
24:34
Speaker 2: Once you once you scan the QR code, if for
24:37
Speaker 2: some reason you got to get out of that menu,
24:40
Speaker 2: it won't bring you back to the to the menu.
24:43
Speaker 2: You got to like re scan it again afterwards, and
24:46
Speaker 2: then you.
24:46
Speaker 1: Got to scroll through that.
24:47
Speaker 2: You got to like find the thing that you were
24:49
Speaker 2: looking at, you know. So it's not it's not consistent.
24:54
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan.
24:55
Speaker 3: Well I don't. I don't mind it. But at the
24:58
Speaker 3: same time, you know, I screamed for food.
25:02
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:02
Speaker 3: So you've been to concerts, yeah, right, and nowadays when
25:07
Speaker 3: you go to a concert you have to kind of
25:09
Speaker 3: move your head back and forth because there's a phone
25:11
Speaker 3: somebody filming in front of you, filming the concert. How
25:14
Speaker 3: do you feel about.
25:15
Speaker 2: That, HM, As somebody who's been a concert goer for
25:21
Speaker 2: a long time.
25:21
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like they're.
25:24
Speaker 2: Missing out on a on a on just sort of
25:27
Speaker 2: a journey, the visceral experience. Right. I haven't had too
25:31
Speaker 2: many situations or somewhere where somebody's blocked my view with
25:34
Speaker 2: the phone, so I really don't have an opinion on that.
25:36
Speaker 1: But and then the flip.
25:38
Speaker 2: Side to that is like, for example, like jay Z
25:41
Speaker 2: just performed at the Roots Picnic, right, and I was
25:44
Speaker 2: able to see it because somebody had taped it and
25:46
Speaker 2: they and they and they.
25:48
Speaker 1: Put it on YouTube, you know. So that's that's the
25:51
Speaker 1: that's the rough bro. And yeah, yeah, how do you
25:54
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that?
25:57
Speaker 3: I'm conflicted because I went to Bruno Mars residency, yeah,
26:04
Speaker 3: god man, and they made everyone put their phones inside
26:08
Speaker 3: a little lock box.
26:10
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I've heard about that, and.
26:13
Speaker 3: For the very moment everyone listened, sang dance together at
26:20
Speaker 3: the same time, and I hadn't seen that in a
26:23
Speaker 3: long time. I understand the value of like taking a
26:27
Speaker 3: piece of that concert home on your phone. I totally
26:30
Speaker 3: understand that too, So I'm kind of indifferent about it. Yeah,
26:34
Speaker 3: But if I was the artist, I guess if I
26:36
Speaker 3: think about the artists not as the concert going, because
26:39
Speaker 3: if I got to go and see everybody's only whatever,
26:41
Speaker 3: at least I can control the fact that I'm going
26:43
Speaker 3: to take in the concert. I'm going to do it
26:44
Speaker 3: for myself, so it doesn't bother me to see people
26:47
Speaker 3: on their phones. But if I was the artist and
26:50
Speaker 3: I just rehearsed for three months, this is my tenth
26:53
Speaker 3: performance in a world tour, and I'm there performing the drama,
27:00
Speaker 3: the lyrics, and the graphics on the put. You know,
27:02
Speaker 3: we paid all these money for all the graphics on
27:05
Speaker 3: the LEDs, the smoke machines, whatever, So then the viewing
27:09
Speaker 3: and listening experience hits all these senses. I would hate
27:15
Speaker 3: to see people watch it through a phone, because they
27:17
Speaker 3: end up watching the performance through the phone filming like
27:20
Speaker 3: this when the show is meant to be received like this,
27:24
Speaker 3: and and and so. If I was the artist, i'd
27:27
Speaker 3: be I'd be a little sad about it, because you
27:30
Speaker 3: work so hard, you invest so much money in that.
27:33
Speaker 3: You know so, but you know, but I think to
27:38
Speaker 3: your point, like, I'd love to revisit that, or somebody
27:41
Speaker 3: posted online they're like, oh my god, yeah, JC just
27:44
Speaker 3: did a freestyle blah blah, blah blah talks about so
27:47
Speaker 3: and so, and like you're listening to it because you
27:49
Speaker 3: weren't there.
27:51
Speaker 1: Exactly.
27:52
Speaker 2: And that's how people were able to see it because
27:55
Speaker 2: the show didn't tape it. It came from people's phones.
27:58
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:58
Speaker 3: I will say though, like however they listen to music
28:01
Speaker 3: today is obviously changing and evolving. But when I went
28:04
Speaker 3: to the Bruno Mars concert in Las Vegas, and I
28:07
Speaker 3: and I and my phone was locked up. Yeah, my god.
28:12
Speaker 3: I appreciated every step, every color change of the stage,
28:16
Speaker 3: every instrument, every dance.
28:18
Speaker 1: Move, every every note. You know, every song was so good.
28:23
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. It's really really great. What was your favorite
28:25
Speaker 1: concert you've ever been to?
28:28
Speaker 3: I gotta say, ever been to Guns n' Roses?
28:36
Speaker 1: Wow?
28:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, ill got Roses in Rome? Oh yeah, whole band.
28:44
Speaker 3: I'm good friends with Duff. My friend Jordan Furramisco is
28:47
Speaker 3: my trainer. He you know, he also trained Duff, you know,
28:50
Speaker 3: And so I met all those guys through them and
28:53
Speaker 3: and shout out to Duff. You know, he's a beautiful,
28:55
Speaker 3: beautiful man, a wonderful person in an icon and he
29:02
Speaker 3: he invited all of us, my family. We happened to
29:05
Speaker 3: be shoot in a movie in Italy. So we went
29:07
Speaker 3: to Rome and that was Nikano's first concert. Oh man,
29:10
Speaker 3: that's so oh so so recently, I have a video
29:12
Speaker 3: well that was More which was three years so a
29:14
Speaker 3: couple of years ago to yeah. Yeah, but I have
29:16
Speaker 3: a video of Nakano on stage with gonsn Roses and
29:19
Speaker 3: Duff coming all the way to her and like playing
29:23
Speaker 3: electric guitar, riding in front of her, looking at her,
29:26
Speaker 3: and she's got her little headphones and she's like, yeah,
29:30
Speaker 3: it's so cool. It's so cool.
29:33
Speaker 2: I saw I saw Coldplay in concert, which is one's
29:36
Speaker 2: gonna be a good one. Amazing, amazing concerts I've ever
29:40
Speaker 2: been to. Man, I mean, they're their whole production was incredible,
29:43
Speaker 2: and you know we you know, we don't sit there
29:47
Speaker 2: the whole time with our phone filming, right, but there
29:49
Speaker 2: were certain clips that we filmed, you know, and that
29:52
Speaker 2: was pretty awesome because then we got to bring it
29:54
Speaker 2: back home and and and revisited. I also saw Prince
29:58
Speaker 2: in concert before he passed. Oh that's just amazing Staples Center. Yeah,
30:02
Speaker 2: but back then there were no phones or anything like that,
30:05
Speaker 2: so I.
30:05
Speaker 3: Just got to now this, he would have stopped his
30:07
Speaker 3: concert and got home.
30:09
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe maybe, but.
30:11
Speaker 3: It was already with their phones out. He would have
30:13
Speaker 3: been like, nah, I'm out, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that
30:17
Speaker 3: was It was awesome, man, it was such a good
30:18
Speaker 3: you missed my eyebrow.
30:22
Speaker 1: I got what you.
30:25
Speaker 2: Let's see here, uh, notifications and aren't from a human
30:29
Speaker 2: The expectation of being reachable reachable twenty four to seven.
30:34
Speaker 1: The expectation of being reachable twenty four to seven.
30:38
Speaker 3: Hmm, what comes from me comes up for me when
30:41
Speaker 3: you say that, I think, like, what like when people.
30:43
Speaker 2: Going, man, I touched you earlier today and then you're
30:47
Speaker 2: just like, hey, I'm sorry, man, I was I'm like,
30:49
Speaker 2: I was having lunch busy.
30:53
Speaker 3: That's interesting, right, because your phone it's become such a
30:55
Speaker 3: part of you that if somebody is so good of
30:58
Speaker 3: replying yeah up, and they're like, how did you not
31:02
Speaker 3: have time to reply? But look, it's a little tough
31:05
Speaker 3: because you and I are constantly in the hustle.
31:08
Speaker 1: Like we're in calls, where.
31:09
Speaker 3: Meetings, we're in zooms, we're development meetings, were like walking,
31:13
Speaker 3: we're doing we're working out whatever and like and like,
31:15
Speaker 3: so there are periods of the day where like we
31:18
Speaker 3: just can't get on the phone and we can't just
31:20
Speaker 3: text back. So I understand that from a lot of
31:23
Speaker 3: my friends. But then there's certain people I know they
31:27
Speaker 3: can just you know, they live with their phone in
31:29
Speaker 3: their hand and like if they saw me, you know,
31:31
Speaker 3: on their phone, like what happened? What's up?
31:34
Speaker 1: Yeah? Going on, I'm busy. What's your excuse?
31:38
Speaker 2: There are times where I just leave my phone upstairs,
