I was on my Insta the other day and you're like, I think I'm going to throw up.
I think I'm going to throw up.
It is.
I do love Instagram.
I mean.
I still like Facebook.
Oh, man.
That is the oldest shit I've heard you say in this entire conversation.
I like Facebook.
Facebook for me, I think it's ruined for my generation because we watched it scramble
our parents' brains when they got on there.
Oh.
Because my mom would send me info where she's like, can you believe this?
And you're like, did you click the link and see where it was from?
And she's like, no.
Oh, yeah.
And then you're like, just watching your mom get fooled.
You're like, I can't do this.
She's like, they said that they're doing this.
You're like, mom, if you click the link, you can tell it's not a real media
outlet.
And she's like, oh, I thought it was.
Why do people do things like that?
It's exactly always the thing.
Why do they got to trick me?
But that's such a, do you know something?
That's such a great question from a good person.
By the way.
Why do they have to do that?
I know it'll happen to me.
I know when I'm 70, if I make it that long, and they have AI shit out there and
all this
like robot.
I'll be like, did you see they brought back Ronald Reagan?
And they're like, Grandpa, he's been dead for 50 years.
And I'm like, but he's back.
I saw him on the news.
And they're like, that's AI.
You're like, oh.
There was something when I was a kid called cryogenics.
Do they unfreeze Walt Disney?
How do you know they did none free?
I need to see proof.
Open up his back.
I want to see the power strip.
My grandma's 96.
And there's nothing I respect more than her being like, I'm like, Nana, what
about email
and stuff?
She's like, get the out of here.
Call me.
I'll read the newspaper.
I'll watch the news.
She has no new media.
I don't read an email until somebody texts me and says, I, I, look, I'll show
you my
phone.
I have like a hundred thousand unchecked emails and it has not affected my life
at all.
Yeah.
Because that's the thing.
If someone texts you or calls you, that's when you get like, oh, I mean, a
hundred thousand.
I mean, it's like Santa Claus level.
That's so fucking male.
Like, why do I have all of this fucking male?
He lost his email for like two, for like two months.
And I go, is everything all right?
And you're like, yeah, it's fine.
Yeah.
That's so fucking funny.
The idea that someone's been emailing Bill being like, I just, I don't know
what I did
to him.
Cause you know how we take everything personally now with all this technology
where you're like,
I emailed Bill, guy never wrote me back.
And then you're sitting here and you're going a hundred thousand.
I got a kid asking for a bike from two years ago.
No, I'll tell you this.
If, if, uh, like texting it, like if the only thing that makes people text you
is you texting
them.
If you stop texting people within three days, other than your close friends and
family,
everybody just, cause you, once you go down the screen more than two of these,
it's like
you passed away.
I'll tell you this right now.
I would even say that with phone calls.
Do you have those friends that you call?
And if you don't keep calling them, they don't call you.
I got rid of all of those people in my life.
And then you know what's funny?
They feel like victims.
That's just like, dude, like I just did to you what you're doing to me.
I'm not going to name, I'm not going to name names, but people, but there are
people that
I've like been like, it's weird.
Cause if I always call him, I don't feel like they're called narcissists.
One, one good friend recently.
I was like, I'm going to see how just as like, kind of like a tongue in cheek,
like, let me
see how long it goes.
And then it started to bum me out as the weeks went by and I was like, this
fucker hasn't
called me.
Yeah.
And then it's just been months.
It was, it was nothing.
And now you're like, and now I'm like, I have to talk about it with Katie.
I have to be like, Hey, am I getting fired up for no reason?
And she's like, I would let it go.
And I'm like, it just, I felt like he was going to call me.
But I had a friend, I called him, I called him 90% of the time.
And like, I felt like 85% of the time he didn't even pick up the phone.
Yeah.
And then when the rare time when he would call me and he would always, the
thing would
always say, Oh, what?
You can't pick up the phone.
It's just like this.
You're like, what the fuck?
My favorite.
What is this?
My favorite old school story was that Patrice would always invite Colin Quinn
to his cookouts
and Colin would always say no.
And then Patrice stopped calling him and then Colin got upset and was like,
what the fuck?
You don't invite me to your cookouts?
And he was like, yeah, you don't call me.
He's like, I still want to be invited.
I still call me.
And you're like, I understand that thinking so much.
We're like, yeah, I want you to call me.
I want to be in the mix.
Oh my God.
