  Speaker 1: Okay, you guys, Eventbrite did this whole thing about how
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: things like puzzle nights, flower arranging classes, music bingo, and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: silent book clubs, like they're trending up.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: They're getting so popular right now.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Silent book clubs?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, silent book clubs.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Literally where you just get together with a group of
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: friends and read.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Like go to a library so you can't talk?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Go to someone's house and everyone sits on the couches
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and reads.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: And they're calling this soft socializing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: So this is where you are hanging out like you're
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: being social because you're with other people.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: But it's really low pressure.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: There's not like an intense activity happening.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Kyle, have you heard of a silent book club? Have
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: you been invited to a silent book?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I would never be invited to a book club because
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: people know I don't enjoy reading.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: You've heard of them?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I have been, I haven't heard of that, no, until
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I read this article, but I have heard of like
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: flower arranging classes.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: In fact, that's one of the scenes in that team
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: mom's baseball show.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: They're doing a flower arranging class and they're just kind
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of like sitting and arranging flowers together. And that's like
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a soft socializing moment.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Is there like maybe going to run errands with your friends?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: That's the first one on the list.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, is it? Yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You're getting the stuff you need to get done that
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you normally would have to do. And so it's not
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: really like, an actual socialization, but you're with your buddy.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Target together.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Like, Hey, let's go.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Let's go do the things that are like really annoying
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: togethers and get them done.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So it's like fun.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: So this article is about things that people are doing
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: like this, that they said.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Soft socializing is a huge trend right now because there's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so much like, like people's social battery gets too full,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but like they still.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Say it's really important to be around people.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And have friends. It's not a huge get together.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's not going to drain your social battery. It's actually
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: going to fill you up. Like it's going to fulfill you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Well, the thing about running errands together, I think that's
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: something people have done forever. I don't think a silent
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: book club has been around for a while.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Not heard of that one.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: That one's a new one. Like going to the front
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: of Target, like the people do that. Remember about naming
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: things differently that we've already done for a long time?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, and that's what I actually kind of feel like
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Silent Book Club is. So imagine Silent Book Club, it's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: like your friend just says, hey, we're reading that same
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: book together.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe you should just come over and we'll just read it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And it's like just hanging out with your friend and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: kind of being able to do nothing or even separate things.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So maybe like Peyton, you're really enjoying this book.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm like doing my cricket stuff.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you're not really socializing, but you are
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: kind of, because you're doing it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: So let me, so just, I'm trying to predict, pretend
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: that like Rich comes over and we're reading a book
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: together quietly, but I hear him turn the page before me.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what the hell? He's reading too fast.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, I just had a flashback to fifth grade.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're reading way low. What page are
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you on? What page are you on?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: That was the worst. Would I have to text him
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: because we can't talk? What page are you on? Oh
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: my gosh. Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: No, I remember like in fifth grade, we would have
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: reading time.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And I remember we could sit anywhere we want.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So we would like sit under the table in the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: room and like, I would sit right next to my
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: best friend.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: She read so fast.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And I would just page turn, page turn.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And that's all I could think about. And so then
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, now I'm not reading the book because
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just hearing the page. So if you're going to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: do that, maybe some light music, not with words, just
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: some instrumentals would.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Help with that. Are there more silent things? What's it called?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily silent.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Not silent. They're soft socializing.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: So like, John Jay, this is a good one for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you because you have five dogs, like get a buddy
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and go walk your dogs together. And so it's like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it's not like this big thing. You're just crafting together. Well,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it's not like a, we have to make an appointment
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: at this restaurant and we're going, you know, we're going
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to do this.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: I feel like he'd be using my, hey, I got
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: five dogs. I'm gonna take, let's soft socialize. I want
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: to take it for a walk. And they'll be like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: I think you're using me to be your dog walker.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Soft socializing, it's fine. That's because that's what they call it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Well, think watching a TV show together.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's like you're not really talking. It doesn't take a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: whole lot of energy, but you're still getting that connection.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I would like that from you, your house, me, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: my house. I don't want you to come over and
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: watch TV.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You need to be around people.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Or even if you just go to a coffee shop,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: you have some work that you have to do, call
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: your bestie, be like, hey girl, I know you're also
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: really busy, let's just pound this out together.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: That's such a good, I feel like that's a great example.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You can tell Peyton's like, Such a good friend. It's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: so hard explaining things like this, like socializing to John Jay.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Here, let me help you. You're right. You're absolutely right.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It's hard to be super.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: What you guys are into is soft socializing, what John
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Jay is into is called alone maxing.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It's the exact opposite.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: All these things you're talking about also, I think, work
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: for couple bonding.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Like if you're dating somebody or married, these are.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Like it'd be fun to... If I had to read,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I would like to read in the same room as
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: my wife and she's on that side of the room.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: I'm on one side like that. We can read like that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Kadeem plays his video games every night when I read
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: my book. That's the only, that's like our quiet time.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: We're not on our phones.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: He's playing the video every now and then I'll look
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: up and see what he's doing. And he gets mad
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: at me.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Stop watching me play. It's the reason I fumbled.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: You know what I like to do?
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: I've only seen this a few times on social media.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I think it'd be fun to do it. Actually, if
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: all of us do it, I know it's not never
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: going to happen, but have you seen that thing where
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: you go to a club and everyone wears headphones? Yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: But then when you ever seen someone film it, that's not,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: The hedge is quiet. So all these people have headphones
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: on and they're dancing.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And you just hear the dancing. You hear. What?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Spoiler. We literally do silent disco every day. There's been
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: so many times we've been in here in the studio
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: listening to something vibing and everyone.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Else in here.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. I know. But this is going to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: a club. Everyone has the headphones on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Everyone's playing and listening to.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: The same song and they're dancing. 40 people dancing to
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: a song, the same song, and then someone filming it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: It sounds weird.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because all you hear is feet shuffling and probably
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: loud breathing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe some people kind of singing it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: A daytime silent disco.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Let's just, okay, I got an even better idea. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: John Jay, I think you'll like this.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: We just bring the disco ball that's in Nick's office
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: right now in here. We turn on like a strobe
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: light and.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Then just put the headphones on and there we go.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: And it's back.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It's fun.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: We'll soft socialize together.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: That's a great idea. Maybe we'll do it. If anyone
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: knows where one of those discos.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Are, we'll go.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: You know, like a 4 p.m. disco dance.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: John Jay and Rich.
