17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,320

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,560

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,199

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: a glow up and it's now called what I'm obsessed with.

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,280

00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: of last year, like clean Girl Vibe is out, Rat

Speaker 2: Okay, So today's episode is all about the anti brain

72
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: rot checklist. But before we get into the checklist and

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: things to do, I want to to play a little game,

74
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: do you? So the game is do you have brain rot?

75
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: And I just want to say I picked all of

76
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: these and already knew all the answers, so that means

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: that I do have brain rot. And I'm not judging anyone.

78
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: If you know all the answers to this, it's a

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: judge free zone.

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,360

00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: favorite part was at the end when she said, so

92

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: Oh.

00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,719

Speaker 4: Favorite artist, my favorite.

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: Thing I get a bonus point for this is she

104
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: was on Jimmy Fallon and he fucking freaked out because

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: she started like talking about drag queens and he had

106
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: no idea what she was talking to. And then she

107
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: was like, it's actually a reference to Sasha Colby, who

108
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: says I'm your favorite.

109
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: Drag queen's favorite drag queen.

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: And when she said Sasa Colby, there were people in

111
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: the audience at tuned, and.

112
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: She was like, there's gay people here.

113
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

114
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: I was like, hah, yes, there's gay people here.

115
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: I didn't go. It's like when he did that interview

116
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: with ru Paul and he's like, blah, drag queen, drag queen,

117
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: I am the Queen of drag and he was solely

118
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: of his body.

119
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

120
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 2: Okay, So the bonus point was who was the inspo

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: for that quote? Okay, so we've got one final question.

122
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: Who is looking fire Pooky?

123
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: Yes?

124
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: You have brain ride?

125
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Pooky is looking absolute fire.

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: That's amazing. So you got six and a half points

127
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: out of seven. Wait, but I did want to start

128
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: off with that quiz because obviously we're well equipped to

129
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: talk about but also because I wanted to start it

130
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: off that this is like a judgment free zone. Oh

131
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: you know, when I was doing research for the episode,

132
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: I did feel a lot of judgment from some of

133
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: the articles. There was one article I think it was

134
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: by the New York Times and it was like, if

135
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: you know what brain rot is, you probably have it.

136
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: And I was like, it is like, it is like

137
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: a hot word.

138
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: It is a buzzword.

139
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: Of buzzword, that's the word.

140
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you are unfamiliar with it just came

141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: into my head because well that hot word buzzword and

142
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: the membrane went. So we've had brain rots since. Good

143
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: to know. But if you're unfamiliar with the term brain rot, Essentially,

144
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: it refers to like being chronically online and refers to

145
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: low value Internet content and the effects caused by spending

146
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: too much time consuming it. And according to Fast Company,

147
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: dumb phone brands like light Phone reported an increase in

148
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: demand of the opposite of smartphone aah. So while I

149
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: think a lot of us probably have experienced this thing

150
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: called brain rot a lot of us are also looking

151
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: for ways to maybe avoid it.

152
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: Like distance ourselves yeah, or accessibility, yeah, reduce our dependence

153
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: on smartphones, which I think is so interesting because we

154
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: use our smartphones for everything.

155
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 4: It's such a crutch.

156
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: Even like myself, I find myself using it as a crush.

157
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: And like I was saying before, I've actually been thinking

158
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: about getting an analogue brick phone just to detach from it,

159
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: just to use a phone as it is. I think

160
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: there is so much amazing access to knowledge and learning

161
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: and expansion of what we have within our own circle

162
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: that that is amazing, and that is such a privilege,

163
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: Like we if you have a smartphone and you have

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: connection to internet and that accessibility to learning and speaking

165
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: and entertainment like that is such a privilege. But I

166
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: think what's happening is you know when not using it

167
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: for that, I'm not using it for that, and when

168
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 3: I can tell when I'm using my phone for healthy

169
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: self development, yeah, and when I'm brain rotting, and that

170
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: healthy self development does include mindless scrolling, yeah, because it's

171
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: a it's a reprieve It's like it's good to watch

172
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 3: funny videos.

173
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: If there's a YouTuber that you.

174
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely love and they make you laugh so much, there

175
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: is nothing wrong with that. It's the I've got nothing

176
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: else to do, so I'll sit here and I'll scroll,

177
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: or I've got something to do, but I'm sitting there

178
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 3: and I'm scrolling.

179
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's so interesting when you brought up like you know,

180
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: like the Nokia old school phone or they call them

181
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: feature phones like Nokia does, and apparently they've seen the

182
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: sales for those types of phones double in the US

183
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three. So like

184
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: you're not alone because I've like thought that too, or

185
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: you know, often I'm like, can I just like go

186
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: somewhere without my phone? But there is like a sense

187
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: of security of being Definitely something goes wrong definitely, So yeah,

188
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe that would be like a good option. Well,

189
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: I feel like in a digital detos and what I've

190
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: started putting into practice and I definitely want to develop

191
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: more is when that content that doesn't really align with

192
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: my values, or content that doesn't really pull a positive

193
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: experience for me or from me, like it pulls negativity,

194
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: It builds negativity in me because I'm either being like, yeah,

195
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: I don't like that, or I'm being like, oh.

196
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: Like the world like this, Yeah, like it's overwhelming. I

197
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: like start utilizing the.

198
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: Not interested button.

199
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: I not interested button is free to use, and it

200
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: builds like you can build your own algorithm that yes,

201
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: some of these things that go viral are just gonna

202
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: go viral, but they're not all bad like the Four

203
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: Seasons baby.

204
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, like that's just like a bit of tongue in cheek.

205
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, the not interested button is your best

206
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: friend in building content and building a feed that does

207
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: align with your values, that does show you things you

208
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: want to see. If you see something that makes you

209
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: maybe feel bad or insecure, it's not anything against maybe

210
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: that creator or that person in that video, but if

211
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 3: something doesn't fuel your happiness and the dopamine and serotonin

212
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: that you are getting from using social media, you need

213
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: to tell your apps what.

214
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: You want from them exactly.

215
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: Otherwise that's when I find the rot rotting. Yeah, and

216
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: I've started doing that, or just like blocking for the

217
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: sake of this.

218
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: Content doesn't serve me.

219
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: So that's what I've been doing a little bit lately

220
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: to try and kind of like bring back a little

221
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: bit more positivity because as.

222
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: Well, Hope Core. Have you seen Hope Pore?

223
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: I love it.

224
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: I love it.

225
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 4: It's like little montages.

226
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 3: Of just really beautiful moments in human experiences of like

227
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: you know, dogs finding their families after being lost, or

228
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: people being reunited with you know, people in their family

229
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: or friends or whatever it is. There was one about

230
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: like a grandpa and a cafe getting a piece of

231
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: cake and everyone saying to him he started crying, and

232
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: it just reminds you of the good and the simplicity

233
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: that humans can be. And that's what I like. That's

234
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: when I don't feel like shit for being on my phone,

235
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: and I'm like, that makes me happy.

236
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: And whenever I watch.

237
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: Videos like that, I'm like, okay, I'm done now and

238
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 3: I can get off my phone. And I always make

239
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 3: sure that I like it and I watch the whole

240
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 3: thing and I save it in favorite.

241
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 4: So I'm like, this is what I want.

242
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: Give me that, yeah, exactly, that one.

243
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: Right there, Because I think a lot of the time

244
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: people are like, well, I'm so dependent on my smartphone.

245
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: I need it to like, you know, use maps, I

246
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: need it to message people. I need it for work,

247
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: and so people like, well, you know, I can't really

248
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: curb this addiction because I need it, And they think

249
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: that it's like you have to go cold turkey and

250
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: like throw your phone away, And I think it's not

251
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: a matter of that. You don't have to, like, you know,

252
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: go completely off the grid and go live in a

253
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: forest somewhere. It's more so about finding healthier boundaries for

254
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: you and also like utilizing the tools and apps and

255
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: things on our phones and on you know, the social

256
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: media apps that we use in a way that serves

257
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: us just to make it healthier. So we're going to

258
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: run through some of those. I think a big one,

259
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: like a big goal for a lot of people in

260
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four is to reduce your screen time. Like anecdotally,

261
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: I found, at least with you know, conversations with our friends,

262
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: mine's like twelve hours.

263
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: Whoa, yeah, how do I check it?

264
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: Mine's ten hours and fifty seven minutes.

265
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: Far out to mine's nine hours and thirty seven minutes.

266
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: Holy shit, My total screen time last week was thirty

267
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: two hours and thirty four minutes. I'm getting I'm getting

268
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: a Nokia, I'm getting a brick phone.

269
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 4: It's time.

270
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: Oh that my god, no, wonder when my anxiety is bad.

271
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's like if you think about like how many

272
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: days we would spend on our phones in a lifetime

273
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: just on social media, Like going on social media is

274
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: like also a big part of our job. So there's

275
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: also that likes.

276
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: There's there's that's too much. Okay, So I don't like

277
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: that number, and I would like to work on that

278
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: number and better that number in a way that is lesser,

279
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: because spending a whole day on social media is not

280
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 3: good for my brain, and it's not good for anyone's brain.

281
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: Your weekly total of time on your phone.

282
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: Is fifty four hours. But you know why this is happening.

283
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: I listen to audiobooks when I sleep.

284
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: I don't know if that counts.

285
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: It is because it's pulling in information and reading.

286
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: That's wild.

287
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm like that may sense because I feel

288
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: everyone should go do that. Yeah, exactly. And because there

289
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: was like a twenty twenty four study from Statista, and

290
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: they were saying that on average in the world, people

291
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: spend one hundred and forty three minutes on social media

292
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: per day on average. This is apparently down from one

293
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty one minutes last year, but that's still

294
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: almost three hours on social media apps per day on average.

295
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: I would say that the average young person that would

296
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: be a lot higher.

297
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: Time seven three times seven is twenty one.

298
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we aligned with that. Yeah, but like I'm

299
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: sure that there would be people that would be spending

300
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: more oh yeah as well. So yeah, like we were saying,

301
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: just go to see how much time you're spending on

302
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: the apps, Like for your iPhone, go to your setting

303
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: screen time and then see all app and website activity,

304
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: because then from there you can see your usage. You

305
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: can set limits on your most used apps. So if

306
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: you can see that you're spending like a lot of

307
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: time on Instagram, then you can set limits on how

308
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: you can access those apps. And you can see how

309
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: many times, like you picked up your phone when you've

310
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: got a notification and things like that. So it's like, okay,

311
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: is that like the trigger that's getting me to pick

312
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: up my phone? Like should I set up you know,

313
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: the automatic do not disturb focus time, sleep time? Yeah.

314
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: I think it's just become so ingrained in our everyday

315
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: back subconscious habit. Yeah, well, it's just the muscle memory

316
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: of picking up full of phone.

317
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: But I feel like as well, it's like my brain

318
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: goes on like changes tangents a lot, and that I'll

319
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: be going to go post on two broake Chicks and

320
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: I open it, I see a real that reel makes

321
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: me think of something else.

322
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 4: I start scrolling.

323
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: I go on this page and I'm like, what was

324
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: I doing again? Yeah, And it's just like a little

325
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: bit of a rabbit hole, and I think, what is

326
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: helpful that even in that same section.

327
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: And we'll talk a little bit more about it later.

328
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: But you can have usage.

329
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: It's on your apps, like there used to be apps

330
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: that you would download for it, but in your settings

331
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: you can say, Okay, I don't want to use TikTok

332
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: for more than this time. I don't want to use

333
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 3: Instagram for more than this time. And it's really really

334
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: good because I don't think we have the tools to

335
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: say no.

336
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 4: I don't no.

337
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: I actually think that maybe we should do it, yeah,

338
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: I for like eight hours a day or something so

339
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: that it's like, yes, it's just our work.

340
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because I want to get to phones one that like,

341
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: I can do that. But it's the same thing that

342
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 3: I think as well, it's maybe learning a little bit

343
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 3: more about what we can do on our phone. I

344
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: don't think we understand all the tools that we have

345
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: available that are healthy tools. I think identifying things that

346
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: are good behaviors and like moderate behaviors and then bad

347
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 3: behaviors and kind of putting those into different spectrums. So

348
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: like good behaviors on your phone would be calling people

349
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: you love, listening to podcasts, listening to audio books, or

350
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: reading a book.

351
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 4: If you can read a physical book.

352
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 3: That is always positive, and learning to like learning, like

353
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: I started listening to a philosopher that I really love.

354
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: I did have a couple of podcasts to expand your knowledge. First,

355
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: one Stuff you should Know, Oh Love. So this podcast

356
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: is so cool because it covers everything from like they

357
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: had a recent episode on whistling but to like scientific theory.

358
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 2: So it's like from you know, the frivolous to like

359
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: things that you're like how that happened? Like just everything

360
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: and this podcast breaks down, you know, the facts from

361
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: the everyday to the extraordinary, which I think is really cool.

362
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: I really love that.

363
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: Another podcast a Daily oz So that's like a fifteen

364
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: minute roughly you know, daily news breakdown, which I think

365
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 2: is really good. You know if you're not picking up

366
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: your local newspaper. We've mentioned on the show before, but

367
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: of course Big Small Talk, which is a mix of

368
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: pop culture, politics, and you know, news headlines hosted by

369
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: our good friends Hannah Ferguson and Sarah Adams. Absolutely love it,

370
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: especially if you want that light and shade mix. And

371
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: then also Hack, which is a weekly Triple J podcast

372
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: and in a similar way, they cover you know, the

373
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 2: latest news, politics and headlines. And I think it's just

374
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: like a really cool way to hear other perspectives on

375
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: the headline.

376
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: It's fun to learn to learn, it's fun.

377
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: I love feeling smarter.

378
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 3: I love consuming a piece of content or reading something

379
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: or listening to something and feeling smarter. Like we don't

380
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: have to feel guilty about using our phone if we're

381
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: using our phone in the right way. And I saw

382
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: this tweet it went viral a few years ago, and

383
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: it was about putting your phone into folders that are affirmations.

384
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: So you know how you can pull in apps and

385
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 3: you put them in a folder, and most of the

386
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: time it'll be like money social videos, like if that's

387
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: your Netflix apps, for example, or and then like your

388
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 3: health apps potentially but what it changed to was, rather

389
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: than being money, it would be I am rich, rather

390
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: than being socials, it would be I am learning. Rather

391
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: than being health, it would be I am healthy. And

392
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: it's putting the affirmations to the apps.

393
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: That for what you want them to achieve.

394
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 3: And I just thought that was the best way to

395
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: structure it. Like, for example, if you are like doing

396
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: with work and you work and create a space, and

397
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: if you've got apps on your phone like Google Docs,

398
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 3: sheets all that stuff, even though that's quite boring of

399
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: an app, you'd have it like I am productive or

400
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 3: I am creative. And having your apps reflect what you

401
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 3: want them to do is the same as like setting

402
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: your bank account as your savings goal. Right, So it's

403
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 3: like tell your phone what you want it to do

404
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: and let your phone tell you.

405
00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 4: And I just love that.

406
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: I can't remember who said that, though I didn't come

407
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: up with that, it was definitely someone else.

408
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 4: But we will put a credit in the show notes.

409
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll find the link, yeah to the twet.

410
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: It went viral, but I thought it was so helpful.

411
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: It's just about setting intension. Yeah, it's the same with

412
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 2: your savings or with your apps or whatever. It is

413
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: just being a little bit more mindful about the things

414
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: that you're using in you know, everyday settings.

415
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

416
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: So another tip to avoid your dependence on your phone

417
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: and mindless scrolling is microdosing raw dogging life.

418
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: I have seen this going viral of like men raw

419
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: dogging flights. Yeah, and can I just say I could

420
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: simply never No, but it's on a.

421
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: Flight that's probably not where.

422
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, I haven't seen the trend like heaps. I've

423
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: seen like a couple and it's basically they like just

424
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 3: raw dog to twenty hour flight, no entertainment, no headphones,

425
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: no anything. I'm like, oh my god, that that's a

426
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: step too far to me. But you've got some other

427
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: ways that we could raw dog life.

428
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so here are a few examples of where you can,

429
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, either leave your phone at home or maybe

430
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 2: put it in another room. It doesn't have to be

431
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: your little Peter Pan shadow coming along with you the

432
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: toilet or the shower. Blasphem me, am I wrong though.

433
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: No, you're not, You're actually very right, but that, yeah,

434
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 3: that's true.

435
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 2: Yes, shower, I will raw dog where I have music

436
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: all the time or a show or YouTube all the time. Yeah,

437
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 2: I always have something the populat that.

438
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: I like the shower.

439
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: I like the shower thoughts. I like the process of

440
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: shower thoughts. It is like a form of meditation because

441
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: we don't just sit with our thoughts enough.

442
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: Number two, going to the shops, Oh, take your wallet.

443
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: You don't need to use applebet Like if you're just

444
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 2: going down the road, yeah, you know, and then you

445
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: you can like walk down the street and maybe like

446
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: look up and look around, smile at somebody who's walking toward.

447
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 4: Feel the rain on your skin.

448
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: Listen to the tunes they're always blasting in the supermarkets.

449
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: They are always playing do you know what? Actually at

450
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: the supermarket that is where you truly get the Friday

451
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 2: forgotten bang it. It's the morning shift podcasts. And at

452
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: the fucking supermarkets. The amount of times that I've actually

453
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: like taken my headphones out and being like no, I

454
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 2: prefer what they're playing, like this is an absolute hit

455
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: that I haven't heard in about eighteen years.

456
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: See. The thing is, though, and I think a lot

457
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: of people would also relate to this is the sensory

458
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 3: overload of shopping, which is why like you would take

459
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: your phone and you'd put headphones on right.

460
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but a lot of shops are building out these

461
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 4: quiet hours.

462
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think Cole's has it, and I'm not

463
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: too sure, but you could probably just look it up.

464
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 3: But they have quiet hours where you basically go and

465
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: it's meant to be a little bit less overwhelming.

466
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: Yah, because I never.

467
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: And it's very much an inclusivity movement, which I think

468
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: is absolutely amazing and I would love to see it

469
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: rolled out into multiple stores. But even if a store

470
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 3: doesn't have that, maybe identifying a time when it is

471
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: going to be a little bit quieter so it isn't

472
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: as overwhelming, because I definitely feel that whenever it's like

473
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 3: a bit of a sensory overload and I feel a

474
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: bit I get a bit of a Sunday afternoon absolutely.

475
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 2: Or don't new Yeah, yeah, okay, next one, watching a

476
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 2: movie at home, put your phone in another room. I

477
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: feel like the amount of movies that I've barely even

478
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: consumed because I'm half scrolling on my phone at the

479
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: same time and.

480
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 4: Watching it, and then you're like, what happened?

481
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, But even if you need to start small by

482
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: doing it when you're watching the office, like put your

483
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: phone in another room, then you can extend that to

484
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: a longer TV show than a movie, But I think

485
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: it just needs to be not on your person, yeah,

486
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 2: otherwise you will reach for it. And then also catching

487
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: up with a friend as well, Like if you're going

488
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 2: to meet somebody for coffee and you're not going too

489
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: far and you do feel comfortable and safe enough to

490
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: go without your phone, be like, hey, I'm going to

491
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: meet you there at ten o'clock and then go meet

492
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: them there because I'm like, that's what our parents did.

493
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: I feel like it would be good to end this

494
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 3: episode as well with some productive swaps.

495
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 4: Yes, so because I think we all know.

496
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: As well that it's not good, like not good to

497
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: be you know, doom scrolling. Yeah, and it is good

498
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 3: to have a detox. But as well, I think it's

499
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 3: good to utilize the accessibility that we have with them

500
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: because it is really cool. Like the technology is really

501
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: cool and it's not all bad. So what are some

502
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 3: productive swaps to replace your doom scrolling?

503
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 2: Clean out your notes app?

504
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: I love doing this, and you know what, sometimes I

505
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: think some new ones do you know what?

506
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: Cleaning out your notes app gives the same energy as

507
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: hell me when you're cleaning your room and then you

508
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 2: end up with like random cowboy hat on a metal

509
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 2: that you want at the year six running Carnival.

510
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: Let's open up and find the weirdest thing in there, because.

511
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 2: Some of the memories that you find like, not only

512
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,359

513
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: cobwebs out of your notes at but we go.

514
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: For a scroll I have I have so this is

00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,920

516
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: three months two and a half kilograms. That's probably the

517
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 3: medication that my cat needs.

518
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: I have one that is beans betroot non slip Matt.

519
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: That sounds like it's something that Dwight Shret would write.

520
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got one that just says is that meg

521
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: Max sitting there and I.

522
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: Must have seen. Yeah.

523
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: Okay, delete old message chains that you don't need anymore,

524
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: especially if they're with like an ex or an old friend.

525
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: Like al said, organize your apps in folders, go through

526
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: your bookmarks and save posts on social media and clear

527
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: those out, and our favorite decluding your camera roll screenshots.

528
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you haven't heard us talk about it before,

529
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: the swipe wipe app is like the best if you

530
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: need to clean out your camera roll and like Spring, Refresh, Detox,

531
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 3: declutter your camera roll. It's basically an app that pulls

532
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: in your photo albums and your camera roll, and then

533
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: you treat it like it looks like a Tinder, so

534
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: you swipe left to delete and swipe right to keep,

535
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 3: and then at the end of the month, it pulls

536
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: it all in and it will be like delete one

537
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty four photos and I went through thousands

538
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: in like a couple of minutes.

539
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 4: It's also the best to do on a plane.

540
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 3: And then the one I would love to add to

541
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 3: that as well is to culor your subscriptions. So go

542
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 3: into your subscriptions folder and see what you're.

543
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: Still paying for.

544
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: Also, whenever you have a subscription, just unsubscribe from all

545
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: of it because you still get it for however long

546
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 3: it is, and then that way you're not going to

547
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: get charged for another twelve month thing. Don't wait till

548
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: the twelve months. Just unsubscribe because you still get what

549
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: you paid for and then it just won't automatically renew.

550
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 2: And then if you do realize that you need it,

551
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: you just sign up for it.

552
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just signed up again.

553
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, oh, oh, oh ma'am, what are you

554
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,320

555
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,480

557
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: Best stories for pleasure clitoral energ spot stimulation. I have

558
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 3: yet to find a product that does something otherworldly. All

559
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: suggestions greatly accepted for investigation.

560
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 4: Thank you.

561
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: I feel very qualified to answer this.

562
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: Okay one.

563
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: It really depends what you like, I think very much.

564
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: So like there are things that work for some people

565
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: that do not work for others, like I leover they're

566
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: like Womanizer or Satisfy a pro or the bush or

567
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 3: the normal like clitoral stimulators, I feel like rare, Like

568
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: I like all of them all good. They've all got

569
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 3: pros and cons to them. Some are stronger, some are

570
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: a little bit more like feathery, some are more intense

571
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: that it really really is down to kind of your

572
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: body because some people are a little bit more sensitive.

573
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: Like I recommended a womanizer to someone and they were

574
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: like what the fuck? They were like that was a lot,

575
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, there could be a lot.

576
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: It really does depend on yourself and your body. So

577
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: I think those brands are definitely ones that I would

578
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: look at and read the reviews, but basically, I know

579
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 3: it's not super helpful, being like it depends, but it

580
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: really does. So some brands that are really good to

581
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: look at love Honey Bush, Normal and it was another

582
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: one sexy Land. And you can get toys that are

583
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: both a G spot stimulator and a clitoral stimulator. So

584
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: the clitoral stimul is the one that has a little sucky,

585
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: sucky thing on the outside.

586
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: It's like a pulsating air.

587
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's great and I love them, and that's

588
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: what I would recommend.

589
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 4: I'm definitely more of an It depends as well. If

00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,760
