17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: talking about the rise of going analog. Yeah, why is

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: everyone going analogue? Why does it feel so good? But

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: also are there any downsides to it? Yeah? Before we

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: get into it, though, of course, we have to discuss

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: our obsession of the week. Tell me sale Tale.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: My obsession of the week is that Harry Styles is

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: back to Save twenty twenty six.

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: I already knew this was going to be your obsession.

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: I saw it this morning and I came into the

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: office and I didn't even bring it up, Yeah, because

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: I knew we were going to be discussing it on

28
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: the podcast, and I was like, save with the pod. Yeah.

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: So this morning we woke up to the very exciting

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: news that Harry Styles is dropping his fourth album, his

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 3: first album in almost four years.

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: That's wild, yeah, because it feels.

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Like, honestly, maybe a year ago that he was doing

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: that crazy long tour, but.

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: The love On tour, Yeah, yeah, that was almost three

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: years ago.

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 4: That's why that he was here, which is just insane.

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: I have felt his absence every single day since then,

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: and this news could not come sooner.

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: The new album is called Kiss All.

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: The Time Disco Occasionally, which incredible album title, a bit

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: of a departure from what he's done in the past.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Do you have any predictions for Harry styles new album.

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: Well, based on the album title and also the album art,

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: I do think that we're going to be getting a

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: disco pot and I do hope that that's what we're

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: getting too. He's been spending a lot of time in

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: Europe and I feel like he's been living his best

49
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: life and he's had a couple of new romances and flings.

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 3: Hasn't he been with his most recent girlfriend for quite

51
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: a long time, Zoe Krabatt? Yeah yeah, I think they've

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: been together for maybe almost a year or something now,

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: six months to a year, Okay, So what other predictions

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: were at the end of last year? I think it

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 3: was on the twenty seventh of December he released an

56
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: eight minute long video on YouTube that was him playing

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: piano on the last night of the Love On tour,

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: and then at the very end of the video, over

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: footage of the crowd, the text popped up, we Belong Together.

60
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I do think that.

61
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: That is going to be a hint at potentially the

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: debut single that will get from the album I have.

63
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: So you think the debut single is going to be

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: called we Belong Together?

65
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: I think so.

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: We also saw posters pop up in cities around the world,

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: including in Sydney, with that same visual, and I think

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: he'd also sent out like voice notes to select fans,

69
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 3: like in his fan club.

70
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 4: That also hint that that could be the first single.

71
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: So what did the voice notes say?

72
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: It was him like, I think singing a little bit,

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: singing those lyrics, but it's all quite cryptic.

74
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: My predictions as someone who is not as a hardcore

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: direction but still big fun. Yeah, I reckon we'll get

76
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: one piano man's style song the influence of I think

77
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: Lenny Kravitz will feature on a song. I'm having fun

78
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: with my predictions. No, I love that either Lenny Kravitz,

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Elton Johel or Sabrina Carpenter will feature on the album

80
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: I Love This. Something will have pink. There'll be something

81
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: pink to do with the album, okay, and there will

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: be a music video that is set in a bar

83
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: or a beach. Oh, I like that as of mine.

84
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: Interested to see if he does do any collapse because

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: he never really has before, like obviously ever since Darryl

86
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: Breakwait at the Sydney shows.

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: Sally come on it absolutely.

88
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's never done sort of any features or

89
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: collabse on any of his albums. So and that's obviously

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: a really popular strategy for a lot of other artists.

91
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: So I would be interested to see if that is

92
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: something that he does something that I don't.

93
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: Bring the Father and Lauren come on.

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: I feel like all its so like private about his

95
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: love life and he very rarely does things that are

96
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: super on the nose.

97
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: So I don't know if he would do that, but

98
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: I would love.

99
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: It if he did, because I fucking love Lenny Kravitz

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: and that would be like the sexiest combo ever.

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: Maybe Zoe could be in the music.

102
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: Video Love Lenny Kravitz in Games with the gold eyeliner.

103
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, Yeah, let's bring that back.

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: Another prediction or perhaps manifestation, is I would love to

105
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: see role Model or Joe aka Joe Keary open for

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: Harry Styles when he inevitably goes on tour for this

107
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: album again. Potentially that's just me being horny and wanting

108
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: to see a little like Harry and role Model Sandwich,

109
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: Harry and jo Keery sandwich Little challenges moment.

110
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: I want to be between those loaves.

111
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: Pull me in.

112
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: I'll be your baloney. My final prediction is just popped

113
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: into my head. There'll be some sort of acknowledgment of

114
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: his time in one direct and potentially Liam Pain Yeah,

115
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: in the lyrics.

116
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: I was wondering if there would potentially be a dedication

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: to Lamb.

118
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: Those are my predictions, all right. My obsession of the week, Yeah,

119
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: let's go, okay, My obsession of the week is a

120
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: little hack to save money on your drinks or dining

121
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: out in twenty twenty six. The prefaces for saying it

122
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: does involve Uber eats, and I apologize. However, this is

123
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: a good hack if you want to save money. So

124
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: at the start of this year, I deleted my Uber

125
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: eats app and I like literally deleted the whole account.

126
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: I was like babe bait. But on my boyfriend's phone,

127
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: we use the feature that's called dine Out and you

128
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: can click the little location button and it shows you

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: all the restaurants that you can go and like, eat

130
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: in the restaurant, have a little dinner date night, go

131
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: out with your friends, and you can get discounts on

132
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 2: eating in the restaurant. So we went out to dinner

133
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: last night. We got forty percent off our meal.

134
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 4: Wow.

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: When you redeem the coupon, you have about seven days

136
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: to use it, so you literally just redeem it, go

137
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: to the restaurant, show them, and they take the money

138
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: off your meal or your drinks or whatever. And so

139
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: it's a good way to save money if you want

140
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: to go out a little bit more. In twenty twenty six,

141
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: because I'm trying to get out of the house. Yeah,

142
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: trying to get out of the house with my analog life,

143
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: you know, get.

144
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: Out in the real world.

145
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a good little hack. You can also

146
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: use eat Club, which is another app that does the

147
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: same thing. I have eat Club, and my boyfriend had

148
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: the Uber Eats dine out feature, so we just compared

149
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: and I saw what one had a better deal, and

150
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: we just use that. So I would definitely check both

151
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: because eat club had some that were better than Uber

152
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: Eats dine Out and Uber Eats done out. I had

153
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: some that were better than an eat club. All right,

154
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: shall we get into the episode close to it? So

155
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: you've probably seen everyone talking about going analogue. I keep

156
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: thinking and a log in my brain something and a lug.

157
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: But what is it?

158
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: So it's basically intentionally switching off from your device and

159
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: in game in the physical world around you, which sounds

160
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: simple but a lot harder than it is evidently, So

161
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: the rise of nostalgia and hot girl hobbies has a

162
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: big role to play in this, but also hyper connectivity

163
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: and the want to reduce screen time. I also think

164
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: new cycle burnout has a lot to do with this. Also,

165
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: the rise of AI content and videos. AI slop literally,

166
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: I think as well, we're seeing algorithms push a lot

167
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: more of like non following accounts. I recently noticed, especially

168
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: on my Instagram, every second post is an account that's

169
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: like a suggested account that it's trying to become like

170
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: a for you page. Yeah, and I'm like, what's the

171
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: point of following people? Then? Yeah, like, what's the point

172
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: of curating my following list to be the things that

173
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: I want to see? When this ai slop or shit

174
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: that I I don't care about or don't align with,

175
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 2: it's continuously finding my feed. So that's why I really

176
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: like this. It's a really intentional way to distance yourself

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: from you know, the Internet, your phone, your devices. And

178
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: it's been covered by Forbes, Cosmopolitan and an abundance of

179
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: substacks and TikTok videos and all of that stuff. So

180
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: we're going to get into why it's a vibe but

181
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: also potentially some downsides to it and how to kind

182
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: of make going analog work for you.

183
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: Another example of I guess a really viral moment around

184
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: going analog and why twenty twenty six is the year

185
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: to go analog is a piece of content or a

186
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: concept called the analog bag.

187
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: Have you seen this?

188
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: I saw an article from Cosmo on it, and like

189
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: just the post on Instagram had like thousands of likes. Yeah,

190
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: so a lot of people are like leaning into it,

191
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: especially towards like in winter last year and towards the

192
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: end of last year, there was so much content about hobbies. Yeah.

193
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: So I do think it's this like natural projection and

194
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: trajectory of that.

195
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. People are realizing that they are addicted to

196
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: their phone. Yeah, you know, we're getting reminders of our

197
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: screen time. And when somebody asks you, like, oh, what

198
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: do you do in your spare time?

199
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: What are your hobbies?

200
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: A lot of us don't really know what to say

201
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: because a lot of our spare time is filled with

202
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: scrolling on our phone.

203
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: Or watching things on our screens.

204
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: So the concept of the analog bag was coined by

205
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: a TikTok creator content creator, and her name is Cus Campbell,

206
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: and she says that it's her invention to combat doom scrolling.

207
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: So an analog bag is a bag or a basket

208
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: that you fill with things to do instead of grabbing

209
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: your phone watching a screen. She did like a haul

210
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: of her January analog bag. She had a subscription to

211
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: The New Yorker, a journal where she draws and paints

212
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: every single day, and knitting project, a Polaroid camera, basically

213
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: anything she can use to replace doom scrolling, which is

214
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: really cool. And we've seen lots of people share their

215
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: own examples and iterations of what's in their analog bag

216
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: or basket because obviously you can customize it to whatever

217
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: your cozy hobbies or analog hobbies are.

218
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can customize it to whatever your interests are. Basically, yeah, exactly.

219
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: And she was inspired to create her analog bag obviously,

220
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: as we said, as a way to combat her addiction

221
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: to her phone and her screens, but specifically after reading

222
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 3: the book The.

223
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: Power of Habit.

224
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

225
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: So in the book, the author outlines three components of

226
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: a habit, Q, routine and reward.

227
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: Ah. Yes, this is also an atomic habits.

228
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so a concept that probably a lot of

229
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: us are familiar with. But rather than eliminating a bad habit,

230
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: we need to replace it. So that's essentially what she's

231
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: doing with her analog bag. She's identified, I don't love

232
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: my habit with my phone. So instead of just going

233
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: cold turkey and saying I'm not gonna use my phone anymore.

234
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: She's created this analog bag that she can use to

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: replace that habit. When she needs that hit of dopamine

236
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: that she usually would get from opening Instagram or TikTok,

237
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: she grabs her journal and she draws something, or she

238
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: grabs her notebook and she checks her to do list,

239
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: or she works on her knitting project, or she has

240
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: her Polaroid camera so that she can still capture moments

241
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 3: without having to.

242
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: Take her phone everywhere.

243
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.

244
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: So she invented this analog bag to reduce her screen time,

245
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: and she said that she actually did reduce it from

246
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: seven hours to three hours.

247
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that's more than half. Yeah, what's your screen time?

248
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I think mine is like twelve hours

249
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: or something. What No, my daily average is five hours

250
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: and twenty minutes.

251
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: My daily average is five hours and thirty six minutes.

252
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: And that's twenty seven percent down from last week. And

253
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: I've recently started a new habit this week, which I

254
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: think I can absolutely accredit to the fact that I'm

255
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: over a quarter down on my screen time.

256
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: Mine is thirty eight percent down from last week.

257
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, mine is ridiculously high.

258
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: So it's definitely been a goal of mine.

259
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: To Yeah, my average habits last week was seven hours

260
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: and thirty two minutes. I love data. It's good to

261
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: shave fun. Yeah, but I'm like, a life shouldn't be data.

262
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: But I love seeing shit like that.

263
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: It's just cool knowing that it works.

264
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so many of us, it's just our muscle memory

265
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 3: to pick up our phone and look at it. And

266
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: you don't really know how much time you do spend

267
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: on your phone because it's such like a knee jerk habit.

268
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 2: An easy way to stop going on your phone because

269
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: it is so mindless, like you pick it up and

270
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: go bookbok bookook is to tie a hair tie around it.

271
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: So if you put a hair tye around your phone

272
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: when you go to go, if you.

273
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 4: Can't, not for you physically can't SWI.

274
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: And the other one that I know people do a

275
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: lot is to turn their phone screen to negative or

276
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: to black and white gray scale. Yeah, and they go

277
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: to put it and they go, oh wait, no, not

278
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: for me. Yeah. Yeah.

279
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: And even if you're like fuck it and you go

280
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: on Instagram or TikTok, it.

281
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: Doesn't hit the same because you don't get the colors.

282
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: You don't get the bean.

283
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: Look, you don't get that same dopen rye or you

284
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: could do the brick get bricked.

285
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, like lock your phone, but I like the hairtye one. Okay,

286
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: So why has the analog trend taken off? We've kind

287
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: of discussed how, you know, hobbies and the rise of

288
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: those have definitely contributed, but I definitely think one of

289
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: the biggest reasons is digital burnout. And according to Forbes,

290
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: the individuals are pushing back against the impending dominance of

291
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: AI technology, purposely addicting social media algorithms and efficiency as

292
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: a replacement for craft with analog movement. And it's interesting

293
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: to note that going on your phone and doom scrolling

294
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: is actually a stress response. So the twenty twenty to

295
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two National Study of Mental Health and well Being,

296
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: conducted during the COVID nineteen pandemic also found around seventeen

297
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: percent of people age sixteen to eighty five years experienced

298
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: high or very high levels of psychological stress. But what's

299
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: even more interesting is that social media use actually peaked

300
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, and it's been declining in majority

301
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: of locations ever since. I love that I like job

302
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: is literally social media. We're like, get off, get out.

303
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,239
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Yeah, Like I can.

304
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely like I do love social media. I love the Internet.

305
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: There's so much fun and creativity and information you can

306
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: get from social media and from the Internet. But yeah,

307
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: I hate how I'm sitting here and I am literally like, oh,

308
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: is this real or is this AI?

309
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: One thousand percent?

310
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: It's exhausting and annoying. And I fell for the Bunny video.

311
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: I know that hurt my feeling. The amount of times

312
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm the dumbass in this relationship, the amount of times

313
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: I come to you me like, look at this video

314
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: and then you're like I think it's AI, and I'm

315
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: like not and you're like yeah, And then I go

316
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: to the comments every fucking time. It's so heartbreaking, it's

317
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: so annoying.

318
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: But I do think, like all good things in life,

319
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: it's best to be enjoyed in moderation, and that's absolutely

320
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: what we're not doing. And I think that's what this

321
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: analog trend is trying to combat. It's not saying throw

322
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: your phone into the ocean, but let's introduce some more balance.

323
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: Another thing that I do think is impacting people's want

324
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: to move away from phones and digital me and embrace

325
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: analog media again. Is distrust to streaming services and big

326
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: companies as well. I saw a really interesting article that

327
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: was published in Rolling Stone and the headline was physical

328
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 3: media is cool Again. Streaming services have themselves to blame

329
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: as well as the nostalgia element. The article looked at

330
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 3: people who collect DVDs and vhs and there were a

331
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 3: number of things like, obviously, these people like this is

332
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: what I used to consume when I was a little kid,

333
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: so it harkens back to a simpler.

334
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 4: Time and I love that.

335
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: But there was also the point of cost, like people

336
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 3: are sick of paying for multiple streaming services to access.

337
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: All of their media.

338
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: And also how often a lot of shows like move Around,

339
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: it'll be like your favorite comfort show, like it'd be

340
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: a gossip Girl and it'll be like leaving some you

341
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: got to go to a different streaming platform to get it.

342
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

343
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: So some of the people in this article was saying

344
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: that they have a desire to actually own their media

345
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: because exactly that, like you have your comfort show and

346
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 3: you sit down to put it on, and great, the

347
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: Office is now no longer on Netflix or whatever the

348
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: case may be, and the rise.

349
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: Of subscriptions has definitely contributed to the fact that you

350
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: don't own anything anymore, yeap, Like when you leave your subscription,

351
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: you don't have those audiobooks or you don't have those movies.

352
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: There was also an argument brought up that streamers can

353
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: edit and alter content as they wish as well. So

354
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 3: some people also like that they own a movie and

355
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: it looks the same as it did when they first

356
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 3: watched it. And I do think that, you know, there

357
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: is sometimes so positive for editing content, because some things

358
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: that were made, you know, thirty years ago aren't as

359
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: sensitive or politically correct as they would be if they

360
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: were made now. So I don't really see anything wrong

361
00:18:59,240 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: with that.

362
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 4: But there's even.

363
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: The example, for I remember when The Simpsons moved to

364
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: Disney Plus, and because it was moved to a different

365
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: streaming service and therefore was catered to a different screen size,

366
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 3: some of the scenes were cut and so you lost

367
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 3: parts of the visual jokes.

368
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Yeah, I didn't know.

369
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: That, Whereas when I would watch it the DVD's and

370
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: I had the DVD box sets like that, yeah, you'd

371
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: be able to see those jokes.

372
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: Are like little things like that.

373
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: So there are people who are collectors and fans and

374
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: they're like, no, I want to own the original medium,

375
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: which I do also think is another thing that's impacting this.

376
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 4: But also obviously there.

377
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: Are so many different pieces of content have been digitized.

378
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Right.

379
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: You can find almost every single TV show and movie

380
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: on a streaming service somewhere, but not everything like why

381
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 3: here we go?

382
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: Can I guess? Can I guess? Can we say the

383
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: movie at the same time? Yeah?

384
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, ready three two one movie?

385
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: Thank you?

386
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I knew it.

387
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: I still own my childhood videos like VCRs.

388
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: Don't ever let them go.

389
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm never getting rid of them. Yeah, ever, like when

390
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: I have kids. If I have kids, I will be

391
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: getting like a VCR player. I should just get one. Now,

392
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: we should have a movie night.

393
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: You sure?

394
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: Do you know what will fucking slap so hard coming

395
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: to a movie cinema? You blah blah blah blah. Oh,

396
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: I've got the Little Mermaid, got the Lion King, I've

397
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: got Lady in the Tramp, I've got one hundred one downations.

398
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, what more do we need?

399
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: I was reading a book and I can't, for the

400
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: life of me remember what it was I'm pretty sure

401
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: it was Florence Givens Women Living Deliciously ninety two potential,

402
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: and it was discussing how attention is the new luxury

403
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 2: and your attention is monetized, and how your attention is

404
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: no longer a byproduct of living but an asset, and

405
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: how entire industries exist just to capture your attention and

406
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 2: retain it and monetize it. And if you think about it,

407
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: look at how apps like social media exist and they

408
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: don't let you leave. So if you open a link

409
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 2: on an Instagram story, it opens within the app, and

410
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 2: you shop within the app, and then when you're done

411
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: you exit, You're still in Instagram. You never leave it.

412
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: To actually exit, you have to click like open in

413
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: Safari or whatever the browser is. And it's really interesting.

414
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: It's like algorithms are trained to keep you scrolling, Notifications

415
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: are designed to feel urgent, and content is optimized for

416
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 2: reaction and not reflection. When you think about it, like

417
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: when you think of how you interact and engage online,

418
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: like do you really think? No? And I get it.

419
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes I open it to just be like, yeah, but

420
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: that's a stress response. Yeah I'm not actually destressing myself

421
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: and social media has been proven to increase stress and

422
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: anxiety because it puts you in a low dopamine loop. Yeah,

423
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 2: and so the more distracted you are, the more profitable

424
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: you've become.

425
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: Shit.

426
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

427
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: And another sobering realization I just had as you were

428
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: talking was when I think back to, say, last night,

429
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: when I was scrolling on TikTok, I couldn't tell you

430
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: a single fucking video I watched. Oh.

431
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're consuming.

432
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: And it's having an impact on yeah, like our anxiety

433
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: and our mental health. But it's not always necessarily having

434
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 3: an impact in a way that you're even going to

435
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: take it into.

436
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 4: Your day to day life.

437
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: We don't even remember half the shit that we watched,

438
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: whereas say, if I read a chapter of a book

439
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: last night, I'd be able to tell you what happened.

440
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Fuck. But like being able to opt out

441
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: even temporarily now requires strong boundaries, intentional systems like blocking apps,

442
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: and often financial and social privilege.

443
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

444
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I saw an article in Vogue Business and

445
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: the headline was how unplugging became Luxury's most valuable currency.

446
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

447
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: And according to the article, sixty seven percent of Americans

448
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: long for the pre plugged eerror of our past, and

449
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 3: seventy nine percent of us gen z's actively aspire to

450
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: interact more in the physical world. And yeah, they pose

451
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: this idea that it's fashionable to say that you don't

452
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: have social media and it's a status symbol to flex

453
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: that you have a low screen time, or that you've

454
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 3: deleted a social media account, or even that you don't

455
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 3: have a huge following.

456
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: I think in general, we're seeing a status shift from

457
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: busy to unavailable.

458
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

459
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 2: Previously, to be busy, to have the hustle, to have

460
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: three jobs, to be running a business was like this

461
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: elevated social status, and we're now seeing this shift to

462
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: being unavailable as an elevated esque vibe.

463
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, and that to be chronically online is to

464
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: be of a lower status.

465
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird, isn't it. Yeah.

466
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel like talking like about

467
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: it like that. And in those terms, I'm not saying

468
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: that I support or I don't subscribe.

469
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 2: To any of those notions at all.

470
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: Because another thing that I did see in that same

471
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: Vogue Business article was a brand strategious consultant said that

472
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 3: dressing in a way that reflects online micro trends is

473
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 3: increasingly viewed as a low status trait.

474
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 4: And then in that.

475
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 3: Article they also quoted from The New Yorker and an

476
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: author said, it's cool to have no followers.

477
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 2: Now.

478
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: There's a certain status that comes from ignoring the usual

479
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: signs of success online and an envy inspired by those

480
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: who can grow a career without the pressure of performing

481
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: on social media.

482
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: People would like make means about like hinge or dating

483
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: or stuff, and it would be like, oh, like when

484
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: he's got less than one hundred followers, Like that's a

485
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: green flag.

486
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure we've made that joke. All, Like, I've

487
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: definitely made that joke before. Yeah, Like are they hot

488
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: or do they just have no social media?

489
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: Really?

490
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm like guilty as charged.

491
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: Luck yep, right, made of Pepper's way.

492
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm like I get it. But also I'm

493
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: kind of like, fuck, like, can we also not pit

494
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: people against each other and put them in these boxes?

495
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, I guess that's.

496
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 3: Where the trend is going, which is definitely interesting. Obviously,

497
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: going analog unplugging digital detox is a huge trend, and

498
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: it got me thinking, is going analogue the new pilates

499
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: princess or clean girl aesthetic or old money. It's positioning

500
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: going analog as a more authentic way to live your

501
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: life and potentially, you know, anti capitalist and getting more

502
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: in touch with nature and physical media and stuff like that.

503
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 3: But a lot of the content that I see around

504
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: how to go analog in twenty twenty six revolves around

505
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 3: buying stuff. Yeah, so whether that is replacing your streaming

506
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: services with DVDs and vhs or buying a stereo and

507
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: getting CDs or a record player.

508
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 4: And investing in vinyl.

509
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 3: And there's nothing wrong with that, I don't think, but

510
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: it's a slippery slope, especially when.

511
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: Hobbies are habits that it's whether you're going to stick

512
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 2: to it. And it's definitely an easy thing to get.

513
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: It's the same as being like I'm going to run

514
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: a marathon, right and telling people I'm going to run

515
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 2: a marathon. You get the joke on me. He'll be like,

516
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to do this, and the gratification, gold star

517
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: sticky you get from that. So even from buying knitting

518
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: equipment or a sewing machine or a record player and

519
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: heaps of records, like you don't know whether or not

520
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: you're actually going to stick to that exactly, and I

521
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: do think potentially in six months time we could see

522
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: a lot of these items in decluttering halls and kind

523
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: of like as we said last week, everything you declutter

524
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: and all your bimbags and all your things you donate

525
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 2: is money that you've spent. So I really like the

526
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: going analogue idea, and I do think there is ways

527
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: to do it without the need to purchase eye. I

528
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: also do think you can simply go one by one,

529
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: like absolutely, I don't want anyone to be turned off

530
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: by if they've wanted to learn how to knit, not

531
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: doing that, like, go do that, absolutely, yeah, But you

532
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 2: don't need to purchase like six different hobbies in one

533
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: go and be like this is real, this is me, Yeah,

534
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: this is who I am now. You know, maybe start

535
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: with buying one book or you know, going and came

536
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: out getting two needles and one thread and just starting there.

537
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so that you actually like it, Yeah, you're

538
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: going to do it. And because a lot of these

539
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: hobbies luckily you can thrift or buy second hand, which

540
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: of course.

541
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 4: Is amazing and a great alternative.

542
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: But buying things secondhand doesn't automatically mean that it's not

543
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: over consumption or out of your budget again, like maybe,

544
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: if you're thinking, oh, maybe I will replace my streaming

545
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: service with a VHS, maybe go and buy like a couple,

546
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 3: not by a whole fucking stack.

547
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 4: And then be like, Ah, what am I going to

548
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 4: do with this?

549
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still watching Netflix seriously. I saw a Reddit

550
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: post that I thought was interesting, and it was said,

551
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: analog skills are going to become luxury markers in the

552
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: next twenty years. I'm starting to think that in about

553
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: two decades, analog skills will be the new status symbols,

554
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: things like having legible handwriting, reading physical books, doing math

555
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: without a calculator, or navigating without GPS. We're already seeing

556
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: the early science vinyl records making a comeback, mechanical watches

557
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: treated as heirloom Pie says, film photography becoming a niche

558
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: but expensive hobby. As tech gets more automated and more

559
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: integrated into everyday life, the ability to function without it

560
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: is going to feel rare, and rarity always turns into status.

561
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: Total tech dependents will make tech independence feel like craftsmanship,

562
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: like a flex If everything becomes digital by default, that

563
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: analog literate might end up becoming the new elite class,

564
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: and I feel like that kind of ties into what

565
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: you were saying before.

566
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

567
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's about being mindful when you bring in new

568
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: habits and hobbies and ensuring that you don't get swept

569
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: up in the dopamine hit of being like I'm going

570
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: to be this brand new person because fuck me, chicks.

571
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: If that's not me, I don't know what is. Totally.

572
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: It's like we have always made the joke that like

573
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 2: every year I have a new athetic, like like I

574
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: love a new year, new me and co Yes, So

575
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: everyone posting the twenty sixteen photos, we looked at them

576
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: the other day and I was like, who's.

577
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 4: Course is that?

578
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: Like I was like, go, so you wore skinny jeans

579
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: and was straight. So with all of that in mind,

580
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: we want to get into our easy tips to go

581
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: analog in twenty twenty six without going extreme. Yeah okay,

582
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: so my number one is to create one phone free ritual.

583
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: Choose one daily moment that's like intentionally offline, and try

584
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: to make it a consistent one. So whether that's your

585
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: morning coffee, you have that without your phone, whether it's

586
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: a walk with no headphones, or reading before bed instead

587
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: of scrolling and consistency matters more than duration, right, And

588
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: so I kind of said before, I've reduced my screen

589
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: time this week by twenty five percent, and there is

590
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: one thing that I've done. It's so fucking boring. I

591
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: think everyone's heard this tip from everyone at least seventeen

592
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: times in their life. But my partner and I stick

593
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 2: our phones in a drawer in the living room at

594
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: nine pm and they stay there. And I kid you not,

595
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: who knows if it's a placebo, but I fuck with

596
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: a placeibo. I've always said that, you know what I've

597
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: always said, I've always said that, I swear to God's out,

598
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: my sleep has been so much better. Yeah, my like

599
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: rem cycle. I've been having some crazy dreams like yeah,

600
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: I told you about yeah not safe for the bar.

601
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: I know. I was literally about to like hook up

602
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: with my girl Crash of the Century in one of

603
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: my dreams. It was really cool, and then my fucking

604
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: boyfriend came into the dream and cock boxed me, which

605
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: I was.

606
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: Like, God, that's not a reason to put down your phone.

607
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: I don't I know. Rob was like, yeah, I inceptioned

608
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: you and I came into your dream. I was like no, no,

609
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: literally I've had this habit like on and off over

610
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. I think a couple of

611
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: years ago I spoke about like having a lock box

612
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: with my phone and stuff like that, but that didn't

613
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: work because I would need to charge it, so that

614
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: fell off, and I think as well, it was like

615
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: I bought something to make me do a habit when

616
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: really I just needed to do the habit. Yeah, and

617
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: I've been so productive, Like at nine pm, I put

618
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: all my clothes away, I did my washing, and I

619
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: put my clothes out for the next day, skincare, put

620
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: my visiline in, and it makes me get out of

621
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: bed in the morning baby steps right. At least I'm

622
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: like not sitting there scrolling on my phone for like

623
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 2: seven million years in bed and I don't pick up

624
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: my phone immediately when I wake up, but I have

625
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: gotten out of bed to be like baby needs a phone, yeah,

626
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: Like but I get out of bit. Yeah, And it's

627
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: like a reward, so I like literally get up, look

628
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: at my phone, have a chiky scroll, and then make

629
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: a coffee. Yeah. And that's fine. Like I'm like, at

630
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 2: least that habit's building. I'm not biting off more than

631
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: I can chew, So I'm like, this is my thirty

632
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: day goal. Then in next month it'll be like, Okay,

633
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: don't pick it up for fifteen minutes, and then after

634
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: that maybe it'll be half an hour, and then after

635
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: that maybe it'll be an hour.

636
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

637
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: That it's like building upon that habit. But I've it's

638
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: been one week, but I've loved it still.

639
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: The fact that you've felt that impact, yeah, such a

640
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 3: short time is incredible, and I can only imagine how

641
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: that would feel after a month or six months or

642
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 3: a year.

643
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: And that a lifetime rob was like, what's the time,

644
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: and I was like fuck yeah. I was like here

645
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: goo hinted it over like a naughty school child.

646
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.

647
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 3: And then you're not sitting there being like where you

648
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 3: get to go on your phone and I sit here.

649
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 3: That's kind of similar or related to the first tip

650
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: I was thinking, which was, dare to be bored because

651
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: we are constantly stimulated, Like if we want to, we

652
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 3: can have some form of stimulation or entertainment at all times.

653
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: And I am definitely guilty of that, Like I do

654
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 3: not want a millisecond alone with my own thoughts, and

655
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: that's very bad and I actually saw an article as

656
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 3: well that neuroscientists say that it is critical for your

657
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 3: brain to be bored because in those moments when your

658
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 3: brain is bored, it's actually resting, and during those times,

659
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: that's when it can replenish itself, and that fosters opportunities.

660
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 4: For creative ideas and innovation.

661
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: Like, if you're constantly just consuming and your brain is

662
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 3: constantly being distracted and entertained, how are you supposed to

663
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: have space to create and come up with a single

664
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 3: fucking original thought.

665
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: Maybe it's about finding times that's easy to be bored.

666
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: So like when you're driving to work, don't listen to

667
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: anything exactly, when you're in the shower.

668
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 3: Or you're on your commute, don't don't have phones on

669
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 3: and just look around or do you reckon?

670
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 4: You can rule dog a shower.

671
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: I have been Oh no, the day is here, the

672
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: day is finally here. I don't think I've ever ever

673
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: heard you go into the shower and not listen to

674
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: a podcast, listen to music, or watch RuPaul's drag race.

675
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and I'm proud of.

676
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 4: You, baby Steps. That's incredible.

677
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 2: What do you mean, especially if it's in everything shower?

678
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: But yeah.

679
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 3: Another thing that I've been doing with my partner is

680
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: not watching tea while we eat dinner.

681
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and.

682
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 4: We call it let's just chat.

683
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

684
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: And we do it in the car as well, like

685
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: we won't have a podcast or music on and we'll

686
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 3: be like I'll go to put on a playlist or something,

687
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 3: then he goes, let's just chat. So even like introducing

688
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 3: those routines is another example of even just sitting there

689
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: with somebody and having a conversation is probably better.

690
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 4: For you than just staring at a screen.

691
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: And then my final way to go more analog in

692
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six is to replace one app on my

693
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: phone with paper. So like I love a productivity app,

694
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: I love a tracker, I love a calendar, I love

695
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 2: a journal, but all of these are so digitalized that

696
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: I feel like the hit ain't hitting anymore. So it's like,

697
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 2: change your notes app to a notebook. And they also

698
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: have had this habit of being like, no, but my

699
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: notebook has to be this perfect, the curated thing of thoughts. No, yeah,

700
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: you can just be drunk, just put it in there.

701
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: And then a two do app just have a daily

702
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: list on paper. Once it's done, throw it out, you down,

703
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: you did the job to a mood tracker. Put that

704
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: in like your journal. There's so many that you can

705
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 2: get that you know, have little all of the above

706
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: on that, like a notepad, a mood tracker, a journal,

707
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: whatever you want. It doesn't even have to be super

708
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: fancy or expensive. I love it because paper doesn't buzz

709
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 2: for your attention. Ooh, I like that.

710
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 3: That's a really good way to put it. I would agree,

711
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: because my final thought is use what you already have,

712
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 3: or like diy where you can, because like we said,

713
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: a lot of these trends and hobbies do revolve around

714
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 3: buying something new. And for example, amongst the journaling girlies,

715
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: there is a trending journal and it's the Louise Carmen journals.

716
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 3: Have you seen They're like the leather bound journal and

717
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 3: then it has an elastic wrap around it and you

718
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 3: can customize.

719
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: It well charms for Christmas.

720
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you open it up and you can

721
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 3: sub in and out different journeys. So it's a cool

722
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: way to reuse them and they're really really beautiful. But

723
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 3: these trending ones can cost between two hundred and thirty

724
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 3: and three hundred and sixty Australian dollars.

725
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but there are so many tutorials on tet iron.

726
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: As well, like the leather journals as well. It's like

727
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: you keep that forever, of course, but there are.

728
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: So many tutorials online that will teach you how to

729
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 3: make your own. Yeah, because my sister also gave me

730
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: one for Christmas, and she made one and between buying

731
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: you know, like the leather and the grummet supplies, the

732
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: elastics and the charms, and then also the journals inside,

733
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: it cost her under one hundred and twenty dollars to

734
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 3: put all of that together, and a lot of those

735
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 3: things she'll be able to reuse.

736
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, you can.

737
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: Don't feel pressure for your hobbies, your cozy hobbies or

738
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 3: the ways that you're going analog to be aesthetic.

739
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. I do think it's interesting and the irony isn't

740
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 2: lost on me that the going analog is an online trend. Yeah, fully,

741
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: but I was thinking that seslove, you know, like, I

742
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: don't think it's productive to critique something that has good intention. Yeah,

743
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: you know, so I really like it. I think it's

744
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: such a good reminder to detach and own your attention

745
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: again because at the end of the day, like what

746
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: you were saying. It's like, what's the point of being

747
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: so mindless and on your phone? Like I can't think

748
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: of anything worse than getting to you know, year, end

749
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: of days and being like what did I do? What

750
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 2: did I do? Love to know how you chicks are

751
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: going to go more analog in twenty twenty six, so
