And so now unless 171 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 5: for some reason you have some reason you can't put 172 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 5: your camera on. Your camera's got to be on. 173 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: That's so funny. 174 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: Whenever we have like a big iHeart meeting, I'm at 175 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: home and sometimes I'm cleaning and my camera off and 176 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: i have my airpot in and I'm listening. But I'm 177 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: cleaning and I'm doing this. 178 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're not. You're not paying attention to one. No, 179 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: that's that's why. That why it's illegal for us to 180 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: be on our phones while we're driving. Yeah, because I 181 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: mean I've done to myself. I'll be on the phone 182 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: with someone and I'll find myself running a red light. 183 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: I mean, and so I stopped doing it because you 184 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: need to be paying attention. And so I don't think 185 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: it's anything. They're not asking for too much for your 186 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: full attention while you're on their dime and you're working 187 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: for them and trying to problem solve for the company. 188 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: I get it, all right. 189 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, go back ten twenty years ago, we 190 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 5: did not have it, and come we had no problem with. 191 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: It then, you know, yeah, right, all right, any of 192 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: the thoughts for Arlene or questions, no. 193 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: I like this.
