Yeah, I got it, right, got it, I 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 4: got it. I didn't have to write that down, y'all. However, 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 4: we are recording this in twenty twenty five, so I 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 4: left from the past. Yeah, welcome to. 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: The present always, I guess technically for the luck. 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 3: For the future. 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, but even though it is a new year, I 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 4: thought we would use this Monday Mini and look back 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 4: at some of the happenings of twenty twenty five. And 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 4: I decided I wanted to look at the listicles, which 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 4: kind of have fallen out of favor. 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: I don't see those as much, mayb because I don't. 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 4: Get like BuzzFeed, which was the beginning of the listicles. 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 4: But I thought we would look at some of those 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 4: that and tell us the biggest trends of twenty twenty five, which, 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 4: by the way, was really hard because it's very specific. 22 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 4: They don't just give you big trends anymore. It's just 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 4: irritating indeed. But with that also see if Adi and 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 4: are are trendy. We'll see this if we are a 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 4: little bit, a little bit more than you would think. 26 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 4: Maybe it's a cyclical. A lot of these things are cyclical, 28 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 4: I'll say that. So I thought we would start off 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 4: with beauty trends, and I'm going by like different resources. 30 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 4: So I'll tell you what's coming from what this one 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 4: was for Vogue. Obviously Vogue would have beauty trends. One 32 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 4: of the things that they talked about are Bob's and Bixi's, which, 33 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 4: by the way, I'd never heard of Bixi's, but that 34 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 4: means Bob plus Pixie, so shorter but shaggy. I'm assuming 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 4: Bob plus Pixie would be shaggy. 36 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: Maybe I do have a if that's what it is, 37 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: I can see it in my head. 38 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: I've seen people wearing their hair like that. 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: So we just saw Holly and I feel as she 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 4: may have ohixy because kind of that. 41 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: I could be wrong. I could be wrong. 42 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: I think hers is probably a little longer than that, 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 4: but in my head, if it was shorter, it would 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 4: be that. 45 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: I will say. 46 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 4: Because this came from like the popularization was way back 47 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 4: when obviously tweties, even probably before then, but the nineties 48 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 4: were raging with the bob, and I actually had one. 49 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 4: I look very news anger ish, but I thought about 50 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: rocking one this year and I didn't. But I used 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 4: to do that every couple of years because I would 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 4: brow my hair out and then chop it off and 53 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 4: I could not pull off a pixie. I don't think 54 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 4: I could pull off a bixie either, But but the 55 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: bob Bob was in. I know, you've never done a bob, right, 56 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: I kind. 57 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Of had one right after COVID. 58 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, And I went to get my haircut 59 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: and I was gonna donate it, and they were like, 60 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to go real short to meet the 61 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: minimum length to donate hair. So that was probably the 62 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: closest I got. When I was in fifth grade, I 63 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: tried to do I don't know if anybody remembers the this, 64 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: but Courtney Cox's hair from friends and screamed too. 65 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: And it was. 66 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: Kind of a bob and it did not look good 67 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: because my hair is thick and drives it like flutes. 68 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: It looks like a bowl cut kind of situation, not 69 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: in the good way. Some people could pull that off. 70 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 4: I couldnot the nineties also loved the bowl cut, so 71 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 4: you must have said it more than you thought. 72 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: It did look good. 73 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 3: I did look good, all right, I will I need pictures. 74 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: I need pictures. Pictures. Are you're lying to me? 75 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: The other trend which I kind of want to come 76 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: back to, because we need to have a conversation about 77 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: body image once again. I feel like because there's a 78 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 4: whole reversal, but face left transparency. Now we're not just 79 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: talking about facelift, because I feel like that's a constant, 80 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 4: especially when we look at the celebrity world and the 81 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: famous people. But the transparency part is what they were 82 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 4: saying was trending, like finally gotten to the point that 83 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: people were being up front about what they were happening 84 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 4: because they don't want to pretend like it's just how 85 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 4: I did these things. I've seen a lot of TikTok 86 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 4: influencers talking about their procedures and giving shout outs to 87 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 4: people as well, because they're like, you know, it's something 88 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 4: that I do to make myself feel better, and I'm 89 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: not going to sit here and pretend like all of 90 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 4: a sudden I started deaging. So again, I do want 91 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 4: to come back because I feel like the rise of 92 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 4: the facelift and plastic surgery has gone up. There's some 93 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: new technologies that have happened, and so people are really 94 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 4: jumping back on board because we've seen some good examples 95 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 4: of like, oh wow, this is interesting because it's not 96 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: what we typically see a facelifts, Like there is like 97 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 4: one look typically when it comes to facelift, and something 98 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: has changed and caused like a little less robotic look. 99 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 4: I don't know how else to describe it, but that's 100 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: coming out. This is from Vogue. They write this, What 101 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 4: sit out the most is that people have become more 102 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: comfortable admitting when they have gotten work done. A controversial picture, 103 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: but whatever your stance on plastic surgery, there's no denying 104 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 4: that this type of trans parency is refreshing. And I 105 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 4: think at least noting that this is not natural, it's 106 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 4: not just because and then giving people false hope of 107 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: buying products A, B and C will do these things 108 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 4: for you, it is nice to see. I feel like 109 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 4: we've kind of backtracked with the ozimbic usage because people 110 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 4: are now not wanting to talk about that, and people 111 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: who are already thin are using it to get even thinner, 112 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 4: and we need to keep going back onto this conversation 113 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: because that so I feel like we're going back to 114 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 4: the nineties eighties unfortunate like eating disorder, level of skinny, 115 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 4: not that that's ever gone away, but like it actually being 116 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 4: in a trend. 117 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: We need to have a conversation about that. But all 118 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 3: that to say is this transparency is the new part 119 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 3: of the plastic surgery. 120 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 4: And then there's a thing called a blush renaissance, and 121 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 4: I was like, there's several other things. At first I 122 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 4: thought this said British renaissance, and I was like, what, 123 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: I don't get it. 124 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 3: But they are. 125 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: Talking about actually using blush, and this is what they 126 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 4: write again. Vogue Marie Antoinette blush, cherry blossom blush, watercolor blush. 127 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 4: Twenty twenty five marked the year of flushed and rosy cheeks. 128 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 4: On the surface, blush can add dimension and energy to 129 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 4: your entire look without putting too much effort. But experts 130 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 4: believe that this year we use blush as a marker 131 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: of our identity. We had a makeup sponsor, Merit that 132 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: sent us a blush that I love and I use 133 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 4: it all the time because I feel like I look 134 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 4: sick without it now. My niece had to teach me 135 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: how to use it, by the way, because that's the 136 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 4: way that you use it has changed over the years, 137 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: which is the whole different conversation. But I was like, 138 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 4: oh oh, and the application is so much easier than 139 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: what it used to be. 140 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I love it and will say I did 141 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: hop on board in this one. 142 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: Annie. 143 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: Did you use your blush because you got. 144 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: Some Okay, okay, currently not a sponsor, no, but they were. 145 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: I did really enjoy their products.

But we grew up with it 238 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: being like older women, older rich women, like sixty seventies 239 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: wearing like or love you New Jersey, but that stereotype 240 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 4: of New Jersey people wearing leperskin pattern. 241 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

But one of the things I 247 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 4: didn't want to talk about was that men in makeup 248 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 4: have come to a rise, like the amount of people, 249 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 4: amount of men who are now wearing makeup has gone up, 250 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 4: as in fact, the purchase of Foundations went up nineteen 251 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 4: percent this year for men to use that as well 252 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 4: as other types of makeup, and it actually being at 253 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: advertising to geared toward men as well, which is lovely 254 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 4: to see feel good about yourself. The use of lab 255 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 4: grown diamonds have increased. And it's interesting the way they 256 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 4: speak about it, because it looks like it's a marketing 257 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: competition the entire time, not necessarily like environmental. So I'm 258 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 4: not really sure the context of it. But the rise 259 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: has come about as well as the fact that they 260 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 4: are competing about what's the best quality. The beers was 261 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: all up in that, So I don't know they are like, no, 262 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 4: make sure they know we are the leading.

Its growth is 268 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 4: oed to the decline of formality in American fashion and 269 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 4: the desire to be seen as healthy. I don't feel 270 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 4: like I've never noticed that as being healthy. No, but okay, 271 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 4: comfortable your pants, tights, sneakers, legings, gym shorts and so on. 272 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 4: I feel like jim shorts have always been acceptable because 273 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 4: men didn't are not. 274 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 2: No, this is teered.

Atlanta one was really good, I will say. 362 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 4: And then Vogue wrote about proteins being one of the 363 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 4: biggest trends of the year, and it's true.

So they wrote today's 426 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 4: other category leader. Soilent first sold itself as the non 427 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 4: food of choice for busy for too busy to eat 428 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 4: Silicon Valley workers, but it's now facing a rising lot 429 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 4: tide of petition. Heughle, a person who contributed, says customers 430 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 4: include doctors, students, and shift workers, on top of fitness 431 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 4: buffs and efficiency obsessed tech executives. 432 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 3: The focus is. 433 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 4: On offering nutritionally complete meals rather than low calori products, 434 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 4: a message that mirrors the broader cultural shift toward health 435 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: and wellness over weight loss. So it's not just about 436 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 4: weight loss, it's just about getting what you can very 437 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 4: quickly out of there. And I think that rise has 438 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 4: come up because we can see it in smoothies, we 439 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 4: can see it in like even liquid IV and like 440 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 4: restoration care, all of this stuff, and that's interesting. They 441 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 4: also talk about food delivery apps, but not necessarily about 442 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 4: the usage, but about like decision making. So this is 443 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 4: what they wrote. The rise of food delivery apps has 444 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 4: led to unprecedented analysis paralysis, with consumers taking to TikTok 445 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 4: and Reddit for advice. Post titled what should I eat 446 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 4: rack up millions of views. Some apps, like Tiny Decisions 447 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 4: and food Picker, featured in February twenty twenty three, are 448 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 4: designed to help users rate the deadlock for the sake 449 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 4: of deciding, producing answers that are either truly random or 450 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 4: close to it. The which One app has emerged as 451 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 4: a blend of decision making meets social media. Users can 452 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 4: post polls for questions like what books should I read next? 453 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 4: Or what pictures should I post? On Instagram, providing a 454 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 4: dual opportunity both for posters to make decisions and scrollers 455 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 4: to feel their voice is heard. If your favorite creator 456 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 4: or artist pops a question, it even presents a unique 457 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 4: chance to be on the inside of their creative process. 458 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 4: So analysis paralysis has gone up and it has become 459 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 4: a friend in twenty twenty five, to the point that 460 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 4: there are apps made to help you decide what to eat. 461 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: Didn't This used to be called decision fatigue? 462 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: Or we just you tell me because I don't know 463 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 3: the obviously. 464 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: Decision fatigue is like the common example would be if 465 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: you were at a sandwich place and had so many 466 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: options that you eventually were just like, I'm tired. 467 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't make another decision. 468 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 4: I will say when I go on vacation, and if 469 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 4: it's like something I supposed to be special for me, 470 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't want to do make decisions. Please 471 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 4: just do it for me, That's all I'm asking. And 472 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 4: like some of the biggest arguments, not arguments, but like frustrations, 473 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 4: this is going back and forth, what do you want 474 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 4: to need? 475 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 3: I don't know what do you want to eat? Well? 476 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 3: Do you do you have? What do you like? So 477 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: maybe it is, but at this point. 478 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: The analysis prows. It's okay. 479 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 4: Analysis paralysis is a thing. Another food trend. Alternative milks 480 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 4: or dairy products rather postechio milk has gone up, but 481 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 4: ninety one percent. 482 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 3: I don't even know if I've seen this, Nope, but 483 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 3: I have. 484 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 4: I have tried, Like I there are brands that are 485 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 4: solely alternatives and have no like milk or dairy options. 486 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 4: So I've accidentally bought alternatives without meaning to. 487 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: It would not surprise you how much of a war 488 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: in the dairy industry this is. I'm sure Savor has 489 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 2: done several episodes on it, but like calling something milk 490 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 2: and what it means, Oh my gosh. 491 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: Oh there's what a fight. 492 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 4: But you know what, the trend is only rising because 493 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 4: they're adding more options, but it's more expensive than milk. 494 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately. 495 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 4: And the other trends that I saw are was the 496 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 4: usage of AI and this is from meeting glimps dot com. 497 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 4: But we're not specifically talking about AI because we know 498 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 4: it is a trend. People are using it. It is 499 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 4: are on the rise, people are being forced to use it. 500 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 4: Whether or not you want to just be on internet 501 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 4: means you're probably on AI. But the one of the 502 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 4: increases of the usages of AI is for companionship. So 503 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: this is again from meet glimps dot com and they 504 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: write recently a number of companies have experimented with giving 505 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 4: robotic pests to nursing home residents.
