• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, just think about it, because everything's digital now, right,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: So for instance, like like a phone, right, Like everybody
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: has a cell phone. So and that's what I just
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: did it. I just hit my phone, right, So another
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: thing on this list. They considered it and they put
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: it in quotes. A dumb phone, right, one that doesn't
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: you know, have all of the tricks and bells and whistles.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Gen Z is actually looking for those old school phones.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: They want those old school phones. They don't want social
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: media on their phones anymore. They don't want the Internet
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: on their phones anymore. They're looking for the flip phones,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: remember the Sidekick, even the old Nokia Snake. That was

  Speaker 4: Word T nine go.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: T nine was our Lord and Savior. T nine. That
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: was the one where you only had to press the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: buttons like once and then it would kind of almost
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say autocorrect, but it would it
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: would come up with the word as opposed to hitting.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: You want this right?
• 3:06

• 3:43
  Speaker 1: doing that lately, I've been sorting through my music library, right,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: because you know, we do a lot of streaming these days.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: But how many songs do you actually own?
• 3:50
