The Fear of Missing Out

Dive into a candid discussion exploring the complexities of social disconnection in our latest episode, where we unravel the emotional grip of FOMO—fear of missing out. As life moves increasingly online, we share insights into how this shift is reshaping authentic relationships while challenging what it really means to connect. Through witty anecdotes and reflective conversation, we delve into the struggle many face in balancing digital interactions with genuine human connection.

We consider how the rise of online dating and social media has transformed friendships and romance, often leading to misunderstandings about self-worth and identity. With the ease of swiping and texting, there’s a growing sense of social disconnect that impacts overall wellbeing. Our engaging dialogue extends to the essential role that face-to-face communication plays in establishing trust, empathy, and deeper understanding among individuals.

Generational differences in how we communicate also take center stage; we reflect on the nuances of social skills through the ages while emphasizing the need for authentic interactions in today’s technological world. We encourage listeners to reconsider how they approach relationships in the digital era, asking themselves important questions about their connection to others.

Join us for this thought-provoking episode that seeks to bridge the gap between technology and true companionship—discover fresh perspectives, share your own stories, and embrace what it means to connect in a meaningful way.

What is FOMO?

Speaker 2 0:40

There's a lot Seriously, people. There's a lot Seriously. Anyway, today I'm here with Kat, hey, hey, otherwise known as T-Bot, we are going to talk about. Fomo, basically Okay.

Speaker 3 0:50

FOMO Fear of missing out.

Speaker 2 0:52

We're actually going to talk about disconnection, social disconnection, all that stuff.

Speaker 3 0:56

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 0:56

Like kids and people and like how online dating has become such a huge thing Instead of like church singles night. You know when you actually got to see somebody in person and then you couldn't get catfished because they couldn't lie to you right there actually it was probably better back then.

The Shift from In

Speaker 3 1:10

At least you knew what you were putting yourself into yeah, it's like window shopping. Yes, you know, I mean I agree to 100, you're not going on a date with some fat pig that's what I mean, that exactly what I mean. At least you saw them, you knew they would look like was no, oh my god, you have a picture of this really good looking guy and his fat shit shows up. Bye.

Speaker 2 1:27

Absolutely. And then how do you get out of it? You're stuck Exactly Because you don't want to be rude.

Speaker 3 1:31

Plus, you've wasted so much time texting back and forth, thinking you have a connection with them, and in actuality they're like the ugliest person ever and you're like ooh, gotta go over with.

Speaker 2 1:41

Let's get into this. So, uh, hold on one second, we'll go. Why does everybody seem so like? Why they all feel like they're disconnected?

Speaker 3 1:49

I do not uh, you are actually on social media a lot more than I am, so maybe that's why I it's. That's not it. Why do?

Speaker 2 1:57

you, then I don't feel disconnected to, but it's not because of social media to people, people in general, I'm on social media only to promote this show. I get it, which I epically fail at, so I should probably just quit, but still, I'm not on social media looking for interactions with people. Okay, I go out and do something, oh yes.

Speaker 3 2:19

Agreed.

Speaker 2 2:20

So yeah, Plus I'm also somebody that just wants to be left alone.

Speaker 3 2:24

That is true.

Speaker 2 2:25

I do not want people all up in my business. I don't want people saying anything. I don't want people talking to me. I go to the grocery store, I turn around and walk in a different aisle when I see somebody I know. So I can avoid the stop and chat. You know what I mean that is so true?

Speaker 3 2:37

I do the same thing.

Speaker 2 2:38

I hate, it. What's different from the last time I saw you, 12 years ago Exactly? Oh life, life is different. Is this really the place to get into this right now?

Speaker 1 2:48

You know what I'm just going to avoid you altogether.

Speaker 3 2:54

So true, that is a true story.

Social Disconnection and Mental Health

Speaker 2 2:55

But people do have a big fear of not interacting with people, but yet they don't leave their house Right.

Speaker 3 3:02

I agree with you. I agree, and I think people in this, the way the world is right now. Sometimes it's just better to stay home, though, and then they have their phones to go on, so they don't feel like they're disconnected altogether, because they still have the interaction talking to somebody.

Speaker 2 3:15

Right. Personal interaction is vital to human life.

Speaker 3 3:19

I 100% agree.

Speaker 2 3:20

It's easy to say no or get into an argument with somebody that you can't see. Oh, totally agree with you. It's like even if you called someone on the phone, you don't even have to necessarily see them. But if you call them and you're like hey, want to go on a date with me, they have to literally say it and the inflection and tone will tell you anything you want to know. That's a true story. So you don't even have to see them necessarily, but you have to interact with them personally, right?

Speaker 3 3:47

Otherwise the keyboard is like a firewall. Oh it is. It's awful. Yeah, you don't know what they're feeling, what they're saying. They could be just being nice and you misread everything.

Speaker 2 3:54

I hate, texting oh, I never got the picture of your wank. Oh my God, sorry, I missed that one. I got to say no, though. Whatever Get out of here, it's nuts.

Speaker 3 4:05

Oh, my goodness, I would rather have the interaction with a person Honestly. I think you need it. I, yeah I personally do need that. I've always been a purple, a purple people person.

Speaker 2 4:17

A purple people.

Speaker 3 4:17

Purple people leader.

Speaker 2 4:20

One-eyed, one-horned.

Speaker 3 4:22

God, I've always been a person I need to go out with and hang out with people and stuff Texting you, you're misrepresented, you don't know what the other person's feeling or even the eye roll, you don't know that you send that text and they look and I go oh my God, I don't want to answer and they eye roll you, you don't know. Oh my God, they're spying on me.

Speaker 1 4:38

Exactly.

Speaker 2 4:47

Yeah, yeah. And not only that, no one can spell. Oh well, and I'm gonna get a real quick side note, realize? Uh, apologize, it doesn't contain an s. Yeah, why? And when they tell us that it always has, I'm gonna lose it yeah, that mandela effect nope, not standing for this one. Yeah, people cannot spell. Nope, those words do not have a s in them. They have a, a Z, exactly as soon as I see prize spelt with an S, that's it, I'm going off. That shit blows my skirt up.

Speaker 3 5:10

Blows my skirt up. I'll tell you that for free. I don't even know what idiot started the whole thing. It's not how you spell it. What idiot decided to put an S where a Z is supposed to be? It does not make any sense.

Speaker 2 5:21

We're just looking at a bunch of stupid idiots. Well, pretty much, and it happens all over the place. And loser does not contain two O's. You are now the loser, my friend that's a looser. Yeah, once you're looser, you're nooser, kill yourself. What the hell You're such a looser? What does this even?

Speaker 3 5:40

mean oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2 5:45

Am I loose in my morals, but that drives me nuts too. Wow, fomo.

Speaker 3 5:49

Yep.

Speaker 2 5:50

FOMO is a real thing.

Speaker 3 5:51

I agree with you.

Speaker 2 5:52

It's a real thing, because people are idiots, yep. Okay, well, I don't think so, but they have no confidence in themselves.

Speaker 3 6:01

You think FOMO? People have no confidence in themselves. Yeah.

Generational Perspectives on Social Skills

Speaker 2 6:05

I don't follow you. If you had enough confidence in yourself, you'd be waiting for people to come to you. Okay, you wouldn't be afraid of what's happening when you're not there.

Speaker 3 6:10

Well, it's usually a 50-50 thing. I don't wait for people to make plans. If I want to do something, I'm going to go do it. I just have friends that don't call all the time. That's just people in general. People sometimes don't want to make plans and they're the ones that sit back and just say, oh yeah, you know what I am bored.

Speaker 2 6:39

I haven't seen you in a while. Let's do something. It's just their nature, of course. It's basically called a leap of faith, right? You don't know if that person's going to want to do something or not. Yeah, right, and some leap of faiths are smaller than others. Some are huge, some are like you really want to ask somebody out on a date. Yeah, that's a big one, that's huge. Marriage would be a big one, just a big leap of faith, but you still have to put faith in the fact that they're going to say yes, because they might say no. Right, it's not a big blow to you, no, but it's still a leap of faith. Yeah, and people can't do that anymore.

Speaker 2 7:11

Social disconnection is becoming like a mental health concern. It is Because most people that are disconnected have anxiety and depression. Oh, yeah, and that's what I'm saying. They don. That's what I'm saying. They don't have the self-confidence in themselves. Yeah, the one thing you need in life more than anything is self-confidence, true, at that point, though, you're gonna be a narcissist. Uh well, and you're gonna be judged on it by people that have social disconnection because they don't have what you do.

Speaker 3 7:36

Well, that just like falls into a jealousy thing like, wow, they could do that and I can't, so why?

Speaker 2 7:40

rename it into mental health when it's just fucking jealous I agree with you straight up. I agree, we have to give it a special name now, so we don't hurt their feelings. Maybe it's like kicking them when they're down.

Speaker 3 7:50

Maybe it's terrible. Get up, get up.

Speaker 2 7:54

What's wrong with you?

Speaker 1 7:56

Kick.

Speaker 2 7:58

And everybody talks about these mental health problems and trauma and it's like some people. I'm like why do you even have this? What has happened in your life that's so bad?

Speaker 3 8:09

Oh, you're talking about people that have mental illness and stuff.

Speaker 2 8:12

Well, I'm still on the fence with mental illness. Okay, I'm still on the fence with it. I've never gone one way or the other. Okay, I will not sit here and tell you it's not real. Yeah, I will not sit here and tell you it's fake, right? I don't know.

Speaker 3 8:24

No, you don't know.

Speaker 2 8:26

It's feelings that you haven't dealt with Correct, so the stem of the problem is you.

Speaker 3 8:30

It's you? Yeah, but sometimes people don't know how to fix it.

Speaker 2 8:33

No, they're scared of you because it's change.

Speaker 3 8:36

Oh, 100%, people hate change.

Speaker 2 8:39

And they're comfortable in their little bubble world. They're afraid if they change what they're doing, it might fall apart. They're so afraid of the unknown that they allow themselves to go down in a rabbit hole where they can't get out of Right.

Speaker 3 8:53

That lack of confidence really kills people.

Speaker 2 8:55

Yes, and there's no reason for people to not have confidence yeah, no, I agree. Or just get out of your comfort zone and do something, the simple fact that every single one of us on this planet has some sort of problem, that they're dealing with Agree.

Speaker 2 9:08

You're not different than anybody else. It's not worse for you. People don't know how to talk about that. Yeah, basically, what I would say is you're making it worse for yourself by not dealing with it and not understanding that the guy sitting right next to you at the bus stop has problems too, right, and he's probably in a better mood because he at least is handling it right, or talking about it, or whatever and he's not dead. Yeah, so it's not that scary, right right, right, yep. But what do?

Speaker 2 9:32

I know I'm an idiot, I'm just a guy with a microphone, is that? And glasses I feel like these are my invisible glasses. I put them on, nobody can see me. You know what I mean. So stupid big daddy movie. Look, put on your invisible glasses there, bud nobody'll be able to see you good god and the people moving on, the people with the social disconnection. There's a lot of things that go into it. It says fear, rejection, poor self-esteem, dysfunctional family dynamics.

Speaker 2 10:08

Yeah, that's a big thing, that is a big thing, and we've been fostering dysfunctional families for years and I've said this, I'm a Darwinist, if you want to classify it as anything mother birds will let the bird fall out of the nest and then move on. It's sad to say, but that is, in fact, empathy. That bird does not want to give the baby a life that it can't live. She knows already, right, so she leaves it. Right, it's not going to make it. Why would I give that baby life? Now here's my argument on that with myself what if it was me? Okay, what if I was having a baby that had had a struggle? Right, what would I do? Right, I don't know. I don't know what I would do. I've not been in that position, so I can't say, right, it's like I don't know what I would do, yeah, so I can side with the other side.

Speaker 3 10:53

Also, I can say I see this, I get it I can see both sides too, but as a mom I would obviously not do that.

Speaker 2 10:59

I mean, I'm a mom I, mom, I would say to myself you know you would keep it. Of course you wouldn't let it go, but we are doing this and it does have an adverse effect 100% correct.

Speaker 2 11:11

And that's why I come up with the fact that empathy is what is going to kill human beings. It makes it harder for the species to carry on when we're being an own cancer type to ourselves. Yeah, but it's like I would do the same thing anybody else did. You know what I mean? Right, I would do that, I would raise it. Right, and as far as nature goes and we're talking strictly, nature only, yeah, yeah, I'm not judging anybody or anything like that Right, nature doesn't do that. No, they don't, nature doesn't do that. Right, there's like two or three species that will do that. Right, other than that, everyone else will eat their young, they'll leave them whatever if they like. The runt was always the one that's not protected. Correct, right, correct. Most of the time, a human adopts the runt and takes care of it, because empathy right, empathy, yeah and yeah but I'm not trying to clear no runs of a litter to human beings.

Speaker 2 12:01

But that's the empathy thought mind process, the thought process behind it, the mindset.

Speaker 3 12:06

Right, right, right. But there are people out there that don't. If they say they have a child that's got issues or something and they don't know how to handle it, they will do that in a sense, and then that person grows up to be the person we're just trying to talk about right now, that doesn't have the social skills, that doesn't want to do anything, that doesn't know how to adapt in the world thank you because you just brought it all the way back around, right, right right.

Speaker 3 12:23

So there is that theory that I mean, that's what happens to these people that want to sit home and don't want to do anything, which is depressing.

Speaker 2 12:30

I feel like we're classifying them as a certain category. Well, I've said it, you've just said it it's these people, these people, they're people, they're people, they're people but?

Speaker 3 12:39

but there is a classification of them. But you have have to understand there's the social.

Speaker 2 12:42

You could literally sit here and classify every single human being on the planet Without a doubt, based on what your perspective is, of course, without a doubt, these people that we're talking about, these people could be far superior to us.

Speaker 3 12:54

No, you're totally 100% right. But on the outside, looking in, you'd think these people had issues Because they don't want to do anything, because they don't fit in with the social norms.

Speaker 2 13:03

That's exactly what. I'm trying to say Right Claimed to not fit in with social norms, correct, yep. That being said, moving on, I don't even know where we are now. We lost, we went off on a tangent there. We always do. Yeah, I just blew my skirt up. I'll tell you that for free, all right. Oh, the lost art of face-to-face interaction.

Speaker 3 13:23

Yeah, I was just going to say.

Speaker 2 13:24

It's incredible.

Speaker 3 13:26

I need that in my life. No, I do.

Speaker 2 13:30

That's just me personally, no.

Speaker 3 13:31

Don't say no.

Speaker 2 13:32

I will say no, nope, if you would listen to my answer instead of over-talking me like you always do, that's a lie. I will tell you why. Everyone needs it. Oh okay, not just you, everyone, everybody needs personal interaction. You have to see a person's face, you have to look them in the eyes, and my grandparents always said if somebody doesn't look you in the eyes, don't trust them.

Speaker 3 13:53

Oh 100%.

Speaker 2 13:54

If they're looking away while they're talking to me, drifting somewhere else, they don't want to tell you things I had the same advice, so they're lying to

Speaker 3 13:59

you.

Speaker 2 13:59

Yep, I had the same advice. That's the first sign that somebody's lying to you. They won't look you in the eyes Right.

Speaker 3 14:05

Especially when they know they're wrong, right, that lack of confidence. They're like all over the place. When they're right, there's no eye contact. I'm like what are you doing right now? What's going on?

Speaker 2 14:12

Right, and that online. So you want a mortgage. You want to order food, even if you have to call somebody. Yeah, and talk to them, which is better than yes, but they can. They'll say no.

Speaker 2 14:28

If you apply online for a bank loan, yeah, it's easy to say no because they don't know who the hell they're saying no to exactly they don't have to look you in the eyes, no, you don't have to explain to them, and their empathy and their emotional support doesn't come out right. It's just's just like nope, this guy doesn't fit X, y and Z, right, sorry, no loan. Yeah, it's easy to do. You can disconnect yourself from what is real. Yep, great. And that's what has happened. Everybody has disconnected themselves from what is real, right, and so it's like connecting across differences is the title of the point, and it's like we had the episode last week about bridging generational gaps. Yep, that's what we did last week. Okay, right, yep. So it came up in here and I was like that's right. It came up and I was like, I said it last episode, I'm saying it again 77 to 83.

Speaker 2 15:15

Those years, oh yeah, 1977 to 1983 is a six year period. Anybody at that age, which happens to be mine, dated myself. We all know now I'm a sexy bee, oh boy. Those are the only people that can do it. And I have another theory on all this. Also, people born in that little sub-generation can talk to anyone. I'm going to disagree with you on that one. You can, but I'm right and you're wrong. Okay, that sub-generation can talk to anyone. I'm going to disagree with you on that one. You can, but I'm right and you're wrong.

Speaker 2 15:45

Okay that sub-generation was brought up with the ability to go out and socialize. You had to play Little League Ball. You had to ride your bikes. You had to go play. You're out to the street, like, come on, you did that, and then we were the first ones that were able to talk over these headphones. Okay, we were, and then we were the first ones that were able to talk over these headphones.

Speaker 2 16:06

Okay, we were the first ones to do this, all right, right? Yeah, that is why I believe that I have this ability to just talk to anybody, and we were talking about this the other day. My friend ham has this ability where he can just walk up and just start talking to him. Yeah, I have the same thing. We do it in two completely different ways. Right, I can just sit there, sit down and be like how's your hot dog? I'm not eating a hot dog, I know, you know what I mean. Just crack a stupid joke that doesn't make sense, then explain it right, and then they're like oh, you seem funny. Like, well, I'm not or just stupid.

Speaker 2 16:37

I'm just stupid and so, but there are many, many, many people that can't. And my other theory is I cannot see eye to eye with my parents, but my parents can see eye to eye with my son, and my parents can see eye to eye with my grandparents, but I could see eye to eye with my grandparents.

Speaker 3 16:56

Okay.

Speaker 2 16:57

For whatever reason, generations right next to each other? Okay. So baby boomers and Gen X? Yep, they can't see eye each other. Okay so baby boomers and Gen X? They can't see eye to eye. Okay, but baby boomers and millennials, or whatever?

Speaker 3 17:08

can do it. Huh, never thought about that.

Speaker 2 17:10

Gen X and whatever the one, Gen Y, whatever was next.

Speaker 3 17:13

I don't even know how they go. What alphabet are we going to use?

Speaker 2 17:15

I don't remember the chronological order of generations anymore, they can't, but baby boomers and Gen Y can, and then whatever was before baby boomers, like the silent era or whatever it was, I don't know.

Speaker 3 17:27

Oh gosh, I have no clue.

Speaker 2 17:28

My grandparents. The fostering of the baby boomers, yeah, yeah, yeah, that generation I could see eye to eye with, yeah, and it's like this. I think it's the nurturing aspect of it and it never goes away. Oh well, yeah so your mother's always going to be your mother, right, of course, but your grandmother's your grandmother Right, and your grandmother can sit there and be like, oh, that's okay, he's fine, where your mother would be like, no, you can't have that thing, it's a true story, right it's a true story you look at it a different way my grandma's like no, give it to him, let him have the soda.

Speaker 2 18:03

It's true story and I'm like is if the generations are right next to each other, they don't see eye to eye.

Speaker 3 18:07

Okay, if they're not, they do all right, well, so okay, good theory, good theory it's just a theory.

Speaker 2 18:13

Yep, I wonder if we could test it out at some point I might have to do that you have to do a lot of things. I don't have to do anything. You have to shower before we go on video.

Speaker 3 18:22

Wow, I just did you just say that?

Speaker 2 18:24

yeah, I said it because it's gonna come up on the video.

Speaker 3 18:26

Oh, god, what an idiot. Oh my god, I can't believe you just said that. Why, uh, I used to love actually listening, and with my grandparents, though they used to love actually listening. With my grandparents, though, they used to listen to the Red Sox games on the radios, and we used to play cards all the time. And so that was a different generation too. They didn't have cell phones, they didn't know what they were, they didn't I mean, my father can still only use the microwave. Yeah, I don't understand.

Speaker 2 18:59

He knows nothing about technological advances. Yeah, he can't use a VCR. We don't even use VCRs anymore.

Speaker 3 19:07

Yeah, but he wasn't brought up on it and didn't have any use for it, so why would he need to learn it?

Speaker 2 19:11

I'm bolstering your point.

Speaker 3 19:12

Okay, right, but I miss my grandparents. I miss that way of them doing things and not caring about anything else in the world, because they had their own little world to do with and doing things and not caring about anything else in the world because they had their own little world to do with, and that was a great time.

Speaker 2 19:25

Did you ever go back and watch those old or listen to those old radio programs.

Speaker 3 19:26

Oh yeah, I love those. They're awesome. They are awesome.

Speaker 2 19:27

I often feel like we could do that right here in the studio we should, and just make up stories and things, right, right and have the door open Meow oh, there's a cat meow.

Speaker 3 19:44

That would be fun, actually it would be, but I mean, that's what, that they didn't have all this technology and they lived fine, peaceful lives, not stressful or anything that's it. I went out and played till from from when I got up in the morning. I had to be home at dusk. All day long I was outside playing. I didn't have phones or anything like that. It's just the way life was. You put a phone in this front of these kids. It's like they are lost.

Speaker 2 20:00

Well, that's what's disconnecting everybody.

Speaker 3 20:01

That's how we started this whole episode.

Speaker 2 20:03

Yep, but it's changing and we were talking about this in the generational gap episode that they're going to be fine. They're learning what's happening now and using it to their advantage. Of course. Was it right for us? No, no, we did it a different way, exactly. They're doing it a way that it's going to evolve into We'll be fine. And we now need us. This generation, even the sub-generation I was talking about, needs to learn from them. It's so true, because they're the ones that are out in front, and if you need to know anything, look to your kids. Oh, 100%, ask them what's going on, ask them to show stuff. Right, do this, do that, do the third? Yep, yep, and it goes like that, yep, because, like, even with this stuff, even with this podcast, I still have to ask my son about things. Oh yeah, he's like. I'm like what's the url? Dad, are you dumb?

Speaker 3 20:51

he says that too, and he gives this dumb face like what are you? What is he like? Doesn't know anything. He's got a podcast, it's a note, anything I know what url is. I'm just using an example no, I know, but that's, that's the generalization of it, and he looks at you like what the heck dad and I have to look back and I was like pop doesn't even know how to use the microwave I know, yeah, but sometimes I wonder if this generation, being on their phones and gaming and all that, they are disconnected.

Speaker 3 21:19

They are, they are disconnected.

Speaker 2 21:22

That's what everybody wants to believe and talk about. They're not. It's their manner of connecting and they're evolving.

Speaker 3 21:30

Yeah, but sometimes they don't even come outside and see it's the sun's out. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 21:35

But that's what we did, and we think that's the way it's supposed to be.

Speaker 3 21:38

Yeah, it's generational.

Speaker 2 21:39

We aren't looking forward enough to say, hey, everything is changing. Yeah, everything is changing. We are sitting here podcasting, right, right, there's no bikes out in front. Nope, this ain't 1977. Yeah, yeah, we are here technologically advanced, it's true, it's half because of them, right, and this is going in this direction, yeah, and to be a fool and not see it, yeah, and think it should be riding around, now, I will argue that they should ride around their bikes, because you will not have as many knee problems if they did, okay, I'm just, I'm just saying that's a fact, but your obesity will be declining too that would be also because they have sit down and do their gaming and just sit and do nothing all day but in a manner of speaking, they're yes, I will agree with you on that.

Speaker 3 22:22

Correct they are, but not like you and I and the generations before us did.

Speaker 2 22:27

It's the way it's all been pushed.

Speaker 3 22:28

Yeah, it's just a different time.

Speaker 2 22:30

We started this whole thing out. There's no more church singles nights, it's true. Now we just play bingo. Oh God, it's the only way you meet anybody. It's the only way you meet anybody, it's true.

Speaker 3 22:40

The nice thing is, they don't have any teeth. So oh, oh, boy, okay, wow, what the I? Can't you just go off on a teeth, yeah.

Speaker 2 22:48

But they're doing their own thing.

Speaker 1 22:49

Yeah.

Speaker 2 22:50

I still feel the need in this society and in this life for human interaction, because it will not survive if you don't. Yeah, and you can tell. Now it's going to technology more than anything. They're literally trying to make us into robots.

Speaker 3 23:02

It's so true.

Speaker 2 23:03

They're trying to make us into robots. So true, they're automating everything. Yeah, and I started wondering working from home, remote work yeah, you become a robot. It's true, it's true, they basically don't need you. No, you can sit at home and not come into work. Right, work, right. They'll pay you yep to do the same stuff, same stuff. I know, believe me, I know. And that is taking away social interaction. It totally is, and people are craving the workspace now. They want it back.

Speaker 3 23:29

They want it back I. I sometimes sit home and I'm like wow, I wish I could talk to somebody, or because I miss being you and casey both work remote, correct, right, yep, and you come here a lot to work.

Speaker 2 23:41

Yes, yes, why.

Speaker 3 23:41

Because I need to talk to somebody. That's right, I just sometimes need. It's good because if I've got really important meetings or I've got really something I need to focus on, I will stay at home and focus on it, cause if I do come to another situation, I know I'm not going to get it done. There's going to be distractions, there's going to be this and that. That's how I work. But You're right, sometimes I just need to talk to somebody. Get out of your office, get out of my office, come here Hang out.

Speaker 3 24:02

Exactly. Hey, you guys want lunch?

Speaker 2 24:03

That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 24:05

That's interacting with someone.

Speaker 2 24:07

Like the Monday after the Super Bowl, you guys were both here, yep, you guys were both working, yep, and we were talking about the Super Bowl game, right, right, this will happen. I don't know. There'll be these little niches where people just have their own little groups. Yeah, I think what we've we've created here in this studio, in this, this house, is kind of nice, yeah, like. You guys can get out of your remote offices, right, come here, hang out and we get to talk about different things, right, and you all bring a different, uh, perspective, right. Even keibler yeah, right, I mean, he's retired, so, but he was out. He was a mailman, right, right, yeah, and now he's home a lot, yeah, and Mrs Keebler still works, right, so he's just sitting there by himself, right. Sometimes he's dying to get out of the house, yeah, right, and I love it because he's really getting into this, well, he probably again falling back to.

Speaker 3 24:59

He probably needs something to do. He's not no social interaction, yeah Right.

Speaker 2 25:03

And I love it because I love Keebler. Yeah, I know I love it that he comes here Right and it's a dude, Seriously.

Speaker 1 25:09
