WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.960 You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:09.480 We're here with very lucky Irish folk Richie Robin Heather. 3 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.080 Thanks for being here today. Of course, do you get 4 00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.199 a hazard pay for working on the Sunday before? I 5 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.120 feel like the Hazzard pa would probably come the Tuesday after. Yeah, yeah, 6 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.160 it would definitely be the day after. Yeah, like the 7 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:22.719 super Bowl. 8 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:24.760 Remember how there was like a movement for a while 9 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.839 for people to make the day after the super Bowl 10 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.719 like an automatic holiday where people didn't have to go 11 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:30.239 into work. 12 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.359 Yeah, I don't think it caught on. 13 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.560 There's plenty of people there in Sacramento and up in Washington, 14 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.560 d C. They've seem like they've got a lot of 15 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.679 time and they've passed stuff all the time. I don't 16 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.159 know why they can't just roll that in there. We 17 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.920 would all universally agree on that make it a national holiday. Indeed, 18 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.759 Saint Patrick's Day tomorrow not a national holiday, but of 19 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:53.920 course originally began as a religious feast day commemorating the 20 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.000 efforts of Saint Patrick to bring Christianity to Ireland way 21 00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.840 back in the fifth century. And if you've checked lately, 22 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:07.280 he was pretty successful. Irish Catholic. They're very, very very 23 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.760 common rather, I guess in the Irish community to be 24 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.400 Catholic over time. Though of course it's a broader celebration 25 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.799 of Irish culture. There are parades, you wear green, you 26 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.879 drink green beer. There are different kinds of festivities worldwide. 27 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.519 Of course, in Chicago they dye the river green there 28 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.719 and people are wearing green, and I guess the reason 29 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.599 is because Ireland is green. It's the emerald dial. That's 30 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:36.519 sort of where the green came from. Leprechauns wear green. 31 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.079 I guess they see people and they pinch them, and 32 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.000 if they're not wearing green, that makes you invisible to leprechauns, 33 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.200 preventing them from pitching. Can you is this so normal 34 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.319 to us because we've done this forever? But can you 35 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.280 imagine if someone just came up with this today and 36 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.120 we're like, all right, you wear green tomorrow, and you 37 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.640 go there's these little there's leprechauns. They're like fairies, but 38 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.879 they're mischievous and they're going to pinch you. They have 39 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.519 gold at the pot end of a rainbow. I don't know. 40 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.599 We drink a lot. You'd be like, okay, great, I'm 41 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.680 on board. Historically, Saint Patrick's Day was a solemn day 42 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.280 in Ireland and it was actually a dry holiday in 43 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.080 Ireland in nineteen oh three, which is such a surprise 44 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.080 if you've ever been to Ireland, pubs were actually legally 45 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.879 required to close. And then obviously that's not the same 46 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.120 way that it is, but it was up, I guess 47 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.879 until the late twentieth century before anybody started celebrating the 48 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.479 way we celebrate now, especially in America. Irish American communities 49 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.400 have embraced pub culture. Saint Patrick's Day associated with beer, 50 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.759 whiskey and more, and drinking is a big part of 51 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.319 the celebration. 52 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.960 It's been that way for basically one hundred and fifty years. 53 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.159 Green beer in America, though it is an American innovation, 54 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.000 an invention. You would not see this at a traditional 55 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.599 Irish pub. No green beer. And there's actually a bar 56 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.039 over in South Pasadena called Griffins of Kinsale which has 57 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.960 no TVs. There's no sports on TV because there are 58 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.599 no TVs at Griffin's of Kinsale in South Pass. It's 59 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.000 right on mission there by the train tracks. And they 60 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.719 also of course don't have green beer. Now they say 61 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.080 you can show up and bring your little dye of 62 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.319 green food die if you want to put it in 63 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.199 your beer, but don't expect to order anything there. Heather, 64 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.039 do you have any local haunts that you like to 65 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.039 hit up for Saint Patrick's Day? Any recommendations? 66 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:28.599 You know? 67 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.080 There used to be a place in Glendale called Clancy's. 68 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.199 Oh, that was a lot of fun that was back 69 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:36.680 in the day. 70 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.319 And that's a nice little Irish seafood spot. 71 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.039 It was oh, Irish seafood. 72 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.599 Yeah, well, I mean it was like seafood, but it 73 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:45.919 was like an Irish bar. 74 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:46.520 Yeah. 75 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.039 And then there's a place into Luca Lake. I can't 76 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.400 think of the name of it. 77 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.400 Is it's out of business now, right, it might be yeah, 78 00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.000 it was like, well, no, there's Missus Robinson's Irish Pub, 79 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.520 which is what is closed now. 80 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.280 But there was something over there that was that was 81 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.000 Mormons for. 82 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:08.240 Is good. 83 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.759 That's that's right, that is still there. And then there's 84 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.080 also Catcher in the Rye, which is. 85 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.479 Great, very fun. Those are great valley hangs. Are you 86 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.280 local to the valley? 87 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.639 I am. I live in the Glendale. Hey, I love 88 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:19.560 the Glendale. The two freeways. 89 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.360 Shout out Chevy Chase, Idol hours great I don't know 90 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.639 that that's a that's an Irish pub, but it's a 91 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.279 great one. It's a great place bar. Give me a 92 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.680 Molly Malone's Molly Malone Tom Burgens. 93 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.160 Some of those are so far away though, because I 94 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.319 am an SGV gal and it's a little far to commit, 95 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.279 especially if I'm going to be drinking at all. 96 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:38.879 Oh, I hear you. I went out last night in 97 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.560 Santa Monica. Had to visit some friends over there at 98 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.680 the Bungalow, which, by the way, I am far too 99 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.240 old for. I went there and uh, you know, the uber. 100 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.680 Was eighty dollars. Oh my gosh, two there just one 101 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:51.439 way you think. 102 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.959 They increased the pricing? Where is it? Like, how do 103 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.399 I pricing that they do? 104 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.480 You got to think it's a busy weekend. That's probably 105 00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.240 part of it. And that's brutal, but it is. 106 00:04:59.279 --> 00:04:59.680 It's brutal. 107 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.040 It's tough to do that. But I guess you know, 108 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.560 it beats it beats a dui that alternative. 109 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.839 Yeah, for sure, everyone please take a new Berg driver. 110 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.839 Especially this weekend. There are I think it's one of 111 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.000 those things, like my mom was always you don't even 112 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.480 go out on Saint Patrick's because people are so crazy. 113 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:16.839 Yeah, you know, you don't even want to be on 114 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:17.399 the roads at all. 115 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.279 So I hate to be that way, and that's such 116 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.319 a sad POV to have on what's supposed to be 117 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:21.879 a fun thing. 118 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.360 But I'll definitely be wearing green, okay, And it's actually 119 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.319 my favorite color is green, and so I always love 120 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.000 this time of year because I am Irish. I have 121 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.759 Irish Scottish roots, so it's just kind of fun, you know, 122 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.399 fun little tradition that's great. 123 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.000 I agree. 124 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.279 Well, there's another tradition happening in the San Fernando Valley 125 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.040 that's not so great. 126 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.000 Have you heard of this key cloning? 127 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:49.560 No police warning residents of a rise in key cloner 128 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.120 car thefts in the San Fernando Valley. So basically what 129 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.720 happens is there's this device that they have that remotely 130 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.240 scans for a key fob signal. So you know how 131 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.399 your keyfob is always emitting some kind of signal to 132 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.240 let your key the car rather know that you're near, 133 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.759 and that's how you get that cordless opening or whatever. 134 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.879 So you can remotely scan for a keyfob apparently, and 135 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.480 they make a clone key, so they make a digital 136 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.600 version of the key, and this is according to the 137 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.800 Burbank Police Department. This is happening a lot though, where 138 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.680 they're using the signature of your key to then open 139 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.759 your car and turn it on and steal it. This 140 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.040 happened to me. I had somebody break into my car 141 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.360 a couple of years back. I live in the valley, 142 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.480 also not Burbank, but not far and it was a 143 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.079 rental car, and I was told by the LAPD that 144 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.120 they do this where they figure out a way to 145 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.519 mimic the key, the key signature, and then they open 146 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.839 the car and take whatever is inside. And it was 147 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.959 crazy because what you'll know you've been broken into. At 148 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.279 least I've experienced this a couple times in the valley 149 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:58.720 because the door will still be open because they of 150 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.560 course don't want to make noise when they steal something 151 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:01.279 they pull it out of there. 152 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.079 They don't want to they want to shut the door 153 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:03.639 and wake you up. 154 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.000 And if they steal it in the middle of the night, 155 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.800 so anytime you go outside and you see your car 156 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.319 and the door is open. At least in my case, 157 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.879 this happened I think two or three times. That's what happens. 158 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.079 So no good there. This is how you get around it. 159 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.920 Do you love this? This is what they say. Tips 160 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.040 include parking in a secure area, as if we can't 161 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.439 generally always park wherever we park, using motion sensing lights 162 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.560 and security cameras in areas where one typically parks. 163 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.480 Also, I feel like something that okay? 164 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.519 And then they say this, store your keyfob in a 165 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.879 signal blocking pouch. I don't know what a signal blocking 166 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.680 pouch is. We'll have to look that up and find 167 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.680 that out. But they also say that people should check 168 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.800 in with dealerships to see if they have any updates 169 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:46.800 for your cars. 170 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:47.079 There. 171 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.399 I don't know if that's a good's it's sort of 172 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.480 unsettling to just put it in a lead pouch. 173 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:52.879 I guess. 174 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:53.319 I don't know. 175 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.519 I think I feel like somebody's made like workout pants 176 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.319 or like Lululemon pants or something that have a little 177 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:00.879 pouch like that. 178 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.240 Maybe I don't know, like for a signal blocking workout. Yeah, 179 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.079 did I just invent this is so great? 180 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.839 Let's look hold on, here we go, signal blocking work 181 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:08.839 out pants. 182 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.519 There must be something like that where because the they 183 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.600 have like little pouches. 184 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.120 Yeah, in shorts, you're so right. 185 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.680 So there's a place called uh well, I don't know 186 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.920 if this is real Shield signal proof apparel. This is 187 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.240 not an advertisement for Shield. By the way, we have 188 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.560 just discovered Shield. They have EMF protective headwear, so I 189 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.039 get if you have an EMF issue with your head. 190 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.840 EMF is like we'll disable electronics. So I don't know 191 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.279 what's going on in your head that you need to 192 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.679 protect it from EMF phrase. But it's very sci fi. 193 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.279 Though this is very sci fi. We'll have to get 194 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:44.960 to the bottom of this. 195 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.960 You're listening to Kfi AM six forty on demand. 196 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.440 There's a lot of stuff that that TV does that 197 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.240 I feel like is a little unnecessary, though I will 198 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.039 say not having to wear makeup is one of the 199 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.159 highlights of this, isn't it fab It's so nice. I 200 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.840 don't I don't just suck in. I don't have to 201 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.840 sit up straight. I can just be a slob. I 202 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:13.279 didn't shower. I haven't showered in weeks. We know that. No, 203 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.799 I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding, but I want to. 204 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.519 I want to tell you. 205 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.480 By the way, Amy King hosts a wake Up Call, 206 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.840 just messaged me and said she's listening in. She said 207 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.240 she's going to be wearing her one green item of 208 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.679 clothing tomorrow. Hey, And I told her, I said, you 209 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.120 need to get more green, lady. 210 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.879 She's a redhead like me. That's our signature color. Green's 211 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.919 a great color on people. Green's basically a neutral. So 212 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.799 I am told, according to TikTok that I see. Huh, 213 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.360 I don't know anything. I mean listen as I mean, 214 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.120 I may have said this before I moved recently. And 215 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:43.799 this is just how the internet works. They find out 216 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.720 you move, and then you just get a million videos 217 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.039 about why everything in your house is wrong and needs 218 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.480 to be redone like home renovation, home renovation stuff, and 219 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:56.039 this is out. 220 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.559 Oh you have a white kitchen. Why white kitchens are 221 00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:59.679 out great? 222 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:01.679 I know. I saw that and I was like, I've 223 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.840 been wanting a white kitchen forever. Now I'm like, I 224 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.960 guess I better not rather. 225 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.240 No, we are wrong. Yeah, I can't like things. I 226 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:09.559 just love. 227 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.159 The trends are just we got to stop with the trends. 228 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:12.320 There's just too much happening here. 229 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.320 Just live your life, people, do what makes you happy. 230 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.720 That's so right. I want to jump down here, Richie. 231 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.159 I'm sorry, I'm going to do this to you. I 232 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.080 know that we said we were going to do something else, 233 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.000 but we're going to I'm going to call an audible. 234 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:24.279 But I think that it's. 235 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.120 Because I'm thinking about trends and I was thinking about you, 236 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.159 specifically with this new gen Z dating trend. Oh yeah, 237 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.279 have you heard of this flood lighting before? Do you 238 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.480 and your gen Z friends say flood Oh yeah, that 239 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.080 met guy totally flood lighted me. No, But I just 240 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.799 heard about it like recently, like before we did the show, Yes, 241 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.320 like maybe two nights before. I was scrolling on TikTok 242 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.120 and that came about. But break it away. So one 243 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.720 of these things that happens. And we do a lot 244 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.799 of trends on KTLA. I cover a lot of trends. 245 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.279 That's sort of my beat. And I think the thing 246 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.240 that's so tough is discerning between what's really a trend 247 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.639 and what's just something that's fun to talk about on 248 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.759 the internet. But I don't know about this one. Let's 249 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.919 try to figure this out. Flood Lighting is apparently, when 250 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:11.559 in dating, someone floods someone with vulnerability in a way 251 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.240 that feels more like a test rather than an attempt 252 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.200 at genuine connection. When I was growing up, this was 253 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.840 called gaslighting. This was called being kind of a sociopath. 254 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.080 But now they have a thing called flood lighting. Apparently 255 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.440 it's a real thing. People are oversharing their personal traumas 256 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.240 with the purpose for another person to then share their 257 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.159 personal traumas so that I guess you can really get 258 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.799 to know who they are quickly. 259 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.159 Like trauma dumping on a first date. 260 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.519 It's trauma dumping on a first date, but with the 261 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.919 intention that they will also trauma dump back, so I 262 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.120 guess you can have something to hold over someone else's so. 263 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.879 Like trauma bonding. Maybe, yeah, though I guess it's a 264 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.639 little bit hack. I don't know. 265 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.840 I mean they say though, instead of strengthening bonds, oversharing 266 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.519 can make the other person take a stat back, which 267 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.759 actually creates an emotional distance rather than closeness. Is that 268 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.679 because all of us think that everyone needs to know 269 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:06.799 everything that we've ever done? 270 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.039 I mean maybe, yeah. Social media has a big part 271 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:12.559 of it. Is there's so many people that I want 272 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.000 to do that because we want some dy to be 273 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:16.720 proud of us. 274 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.679 Ooh, you guys, I'm this is the best therapy that 275 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:21.320 I've ever had. 276 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.159 Is get working through problems on live radio. 277 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.279 But I think that you're right about the social media thing, saying, 278 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.440 look like, if we just got rid of all social media, 279 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.759 I think eighty percent of our psychological issues would go away. 280 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.039 So what we're saying is just watch terrestrial television and 281 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.519 listen to terrestrial radio. 282 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:40.759 That's all we're saying. Is that such a crime to ask? 283 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.480 No, unless you want to listen to of course, the 284 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.120 iHeartRadio app you can keep that one. You can keep 285 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.080 the KTLA plus app, but everything else, please, we're done 286 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.360 with it unplugged. And I think that that's also part 287 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:56.600 of this sort of bigger problem with social media dating 288 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.279 apps Richie. I know that you're on the apps. You 289 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.679 told me recently went up to Do you want to 290 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:02.399 say where you went? 291 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:03.399 Oh? 292 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.679 Oh, well I was in Seattle. So I was in Seattle. 293 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.840 And you know, when I'm in a new town, I'm shopping, 294 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.639 you know, But what are you shopping for? Friendship? 295 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.360 Yeah? 296 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.759 Yeah, this is what's wrong with your generation. By the way, 297 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.840 I'm not gonna you continue, but I'll just so. 298 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:22.159 Yeah. 299 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.159 So, like I use this app called Hinge, and for 300 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.240 years I've had it. It's kind of there. I use 301 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.159 it whenever I'm bored or whatever, you know. And then 302 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.720 again I was in Seattle, so I checked it out, 303 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:34.399 you know, scoping the scene, you. 304 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.559 Know, scoping the scene. Exactly what are you looking for 305 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:38.559 in this scene? And you're telling me because here's the 306 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:39.960 thing that I always thought with And I haven't been 307 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.320 on dating apps for a while, but I remember, and 308 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.240 I think that I I confirmed this in a report 309 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.559 at some point over the past couple of years, that 310 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.639 the reason that they're so awful, that it feels so 311 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.840 awful to be on a dating app is because they'll 312 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.639 show you people who they know that you will almost 313 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.240 really like, they'll show you enough people to keep you 314 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.639 coming back, because at the end of the day, what 315 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.399 they want is for users to be using their app. 316 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.639 This makes sense. Even if they say Hinge designed to 317 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.200 be deleted. I think it's still is a business. They 318 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.360 still got to have people coming through the doors. They 319 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:20.399 still want to have people using this. But you're saying 320 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:21.120 things are a little. 321 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.080 Different now, Yeah, Like I don't know, like I feel 322 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.639 like it's I don't know, I don't I'm not really 323 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.799 a fan of it. There's this new thing that Hinge introduced. 324 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.120 It's called your turn limits. It's pretty much a feature. 325 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.840 Limit, like you have to run your only eight years 326 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:36.919 of hinge and then you're done. 327 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:38.240 You pretty much right now. 328 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.840 Yeah, it's like a new feature that restricts users from 329 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.960 liking you matches. For instance, like if I have more 330 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.840 than aid unanswered messages, it won't allow me to go 331 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.320 further or you know, swipe whatever side or message them 332 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.360 or get a message back. I need to literally send 333 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.600 a message and then it gives me the opportunity to 334 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.080 you know, reply to another. So basically it encourages us 335 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:03.279 to seek more of a connection than just like the 336 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:04.440 next wipe, et cetera. 337 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.120 So you're not allowed to just message people at random 338 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.759 at will forever infinity. Personally, I'm pretty popular on the app, 339 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.960 so I'm limited really quickly. 340 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.000 So that's why I don't like it. 341 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.759 Robin. I know you're you're married, Heather, do you have. 342 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.159 Any insight on dating app stuff? 343 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:20.799 I don't. 344 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.960 I'm an old married lady and have not ever had 345 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.559 to be on the apps. I have a lot of 346 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.000 single friends though, who've had hit or mis experiences on 347 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:30.519 the apps. 348 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.720 Nobody likes it. There should be no one's like man, 349 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.440 I just love being on dating apps. That's a pretty good. 350 00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:37.120 That's a pretty good. 351 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.720 Indians like it. It gives them a lot of material 352 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.320 to work. Maybe that's the problem is that the too 353 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.720 many comedians on data. 354 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.440 Apps where every comedy show I go to, someone's like, hey, 355 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.320 anybody else on the dating apps? 356 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.240 And you're like, oh my gosh. 357 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.679 I wouldn't ever necessarily call myself a comedian because I 358 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.320 was never paid to be a comedian. But I know 359 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.399 a lot of them, and I will say that they 360 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.879 are a bit of a sad bunch, a bit of 361 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:01.480 quite a few. And I have a lot of friends 362 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.480 who are comics that I would say, if they're asking 363 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.039 if anybody's on the dating apps, it's because they're curious 364 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.360 if they can find anyone, anyone else, if there's anyone 365 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.639 to hook up. But that's exactly right. 366 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.720 I am a comedian and I've been to a lot 367 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.080 of comedy shows, and almost every comic is just that's 368 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.480 their spring well of launching off point for jokes is 369 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.279 the dating apps. 370 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:21.840 I don't know.
