Look at us. We are using new equipment. I don't know if it's just in our heads that I feel like we sound better like or are we just are we just making it up? I mean, we may sound better. We got some new microphones and we got our little road caster now we're official official, which, by the way, that was one of our goals. Was one of many goals, was to get certain equipment for the podcast, and boom, we got it. The road Caster pro is in front
of us. We're using it and super excited that we have this. It's been a long time coming, especially the days of you know, talking through Skype and through FaceTime, you know, during the pandemic and we were in different cities. That was definitely a time. But we're finally at this level and we're gonna just keep going up from here. You know, the thing that I wanted to what kind of reminds me of you know, it's almost like a new toy. Is Are there any new technology you know that you
kind of want right now? For example, the iPhone fifteen is out. Yeah, how I've been doing my whole iPhone, you know, like how you get how often you get often? I do it? I usually and this is not by plan, Like I didn't plan it this way, just so happens that I keep skipping a generation. So I've been you know, now I have the thirteen, I skip the fourteen. Usually this is the
time where I would get a new phone. So yeah, I used to be on that too, where it's kind of like every other like they used to have like the the number, and then they'd have the S version and then they have the new number. Yeah, I'd always be like that. But ever since they put us on this this payment plan now where you kind of just pay for your phone monthly, I think mine's like every two years
now that comes around, did I get a new phone? So I don't think I'm getting the new one yet, so it almost works out, like almost yeah, so like maybe about time next year comes around, when the new iPhone drops, it'll probably be my time to get that one. So it's sixteen, okay something like that. The thirteen is working fine for me. Yeah, I mean, I just think the iPhone just got to a point where it just became so repetitive where nothing really changes other than the camera
gets a little better, I guess. And there's maybe one or two tweaks but yeah, I just feel like I don't feel like I need to be on top of it as much as I was in the beginning of the iPhone. Now it's like, eh, especially the fact that the look never changes, right other than you just get a few more cameras on the back. But yeah, I think I'm good with this and until it starts, you know, taking a shit or something, then yeah it's time for a new
one. But I mean it does everything and all the other iPhones too. Another new toy that I want to get that's on my want list is the I've brought this up before, is the Apple headphones. Yeah, I see some people wearing those at the gym. That's I want to Is that what inspires you to get it? I wish well, because I'm not a fan of the earbuds. I'm neither. It just doesn't work for me. I don't know, maybe because you know, we're DJs, and I think that's
what it is, because everybody that I know they all love earbuds. And I think just because we live in that world where we always use over the head earphones, It's just that's just what we're used to, so I use over the ear headphones right now too. I use the rock. He has some headphones that he puts out there, like really for the gym because you can like take off the ear muffs and wash them and stuff like that, and they're very durable. That's what I use. But I do see a
lot of people using those Apple ones. I don't know. They're kind of pricey though, aren't they price That's why it's a one. But I wish I could try it on so I could see how it is at the gym because I sweat a lot. Yeah, so I would want to test those, test it. But can you test it and then return it all sweaty? Yeah? Probably not. Is there anything that you're like looking at any toys that you're looking to technology wise? Really? Anything? Really? Not
so much. Nothing that I've like, nothing new that's came out there was like, oh I need that now, Not on my list right now? All right? Well, the episode today sort of has something to do with like how the world is right now with technology and just how we are moving in a different way in twenty twenty three. And yeah, just we wanted to talk about that. This could get me fire podcasts. What up? I'm Chizzo. That is John magic, and we are back the title A
Different World. Side note, did you grow up watching that show A Different World? No, but I knew about it. Yeah, it was like a spinoff from the Cosby Show. Okay, one of the daughters went to college. But that's kind of like where I got the title from a Different World because that's today's episode is about kind of like the world we live in
right now. How different we move in twenty twenty three. Yeah, just in the past few years, our habits as people have changed, the way we do things have changed, the way we consume things have changed, the way we buy things have changed, and and you know a lot of that had to do with the pandemic sort of sped up that process. But we were sort of just talking about this and we thought we just you know, sort of put a list together or talk about some of the things that just
different in the world now. Well, I mean we could even The first word that comes to my mind is convenience. Oh, that's I think that's the biggest one. Yeah, everything just has to be convenient from even I mean, where can we start with convenience? Even when we order food? Yeah, I would say, you know, companies like Uber eats and grub Hub has definitely picked up a lot. Obviously that was huge during the pandemic. But it's weird when I go to restaurants now to pick up my own
food, they're super embracing the takeout. Like I know, even some businesses have switched up in a sense of getting rid of some of their tables. Maybe building restaurants not so big anymore because the dining experience is kind of going away now. If you're a listener to the podcast, you know that I'm an owner of a restaurant and I've been seeing a change even in this business. You know, we're still running. We've been open for five years now, so good run. Survive the pandemic, we see, man, that
thing was there's an episode there with the struggle. But we are seeing big, big, the big difference from when we first started, from even just the food that we're buying to you know, the ingredients. The food that we're buying for the restaurant is just super expensive now that I mean, I'm not we're not officially closed or anything, but we were in talks. We're really in talks to to seriously kind of just shut this down just because it's
everything is just becoming too much. And side note, we have made our investment back. We've paid everyone. Everyone had made their money back and then some. So you know, I don't I don't consider it as an l It was a good experience. You know, who knows what we'll hold in the future, if something else will open. But definitely we're seeing the impact of how we're living now because for my particular restaurant, it's more of an
experienced restaurant, a dining experience. Yeah, it's not really, it's not really a takeout model. You can't yeah, you can't take out shaboo shaboo like it's not made for that. It's made to be experienced, yeah, because you eat it like on top of burners and stuff, right, Yeah, you cook your own food. And with this shift and how people are consuming their takeout, it's it almost doesn't work, right. Sure. I also feel like, in the same breath, are people even still going out
to restaurants? That's what I'm saying. The dining experience is different. I think the restaurant experience is just getting crazy because you know, prices have gone up, it also feels like quality has gone down. Service has gotten really bad. That I've noticed in my experience. So between all those you know, quality going down, prices going up, service being bad, that has
made me not want to dine out anymore. At most I go again pick up food, and I go to places like Chipotle and they have like this whole big area of just shelves that's just made for pickup orders. And then it's just constant, NonStop you see, you know, uber eats people, grub Up people just coming in there picking up food. People don't even want to go pick up their own food because they're relying on these services to go pick up the food for them. I haven't embraced that, just because it's
not worth it to me. It's a lot of money to you know, calling a grub hub, and I'm just not I could do it myself. I'm not lazy, you know what I'm saying. It's I understand the convenience, but to me, it's like you get it quicker if you do it yourself and you're not paying as much. But I do see where the world is going with this with these takeout orders. It feels like buffets, like that's probably not gonna be a thing so much anymore. Right, I mean,
they a lot of buffets didn't even survive the pandemic. Some are still around, but yeah, that experience. I know, some buffets do take out orders, so maybe that's helping. That's why, man, I didn't even really realize. Yeah, the buffets have been shutting down as well too, But I mean, I feel you. I understand on your guys' is end. Obviously, you know where you get your guys of stuff. They've raised their prices, which means you guys either got to find another vendor or
you guys got to raise your prices. And then of course the consumers like, damn, that means now we're paying for you know, It's just it's it's a it's a trends. Somebody raises their prices, which means you have to raise your prices, which your marinis they have to their prices, and then ultimately the customers just paying more money. You brought up buffets, and the first thing that comes to my head when you bring up buffets is Vegas.
And what brings me when I think about Vegas is the nightclub experience has even changed, well from at least from my eyes, because I have a lot of friends who DJ in Vegas, and I used to see post of you know, there are dates of when they're going to be at this club, this club, or this club, and then you would see highlights a bunch of videos and pictures from those particular nightclubs. I haven't been to one in years, but I don't see those anymore. So I wonder how even
the Vegas club scenes are doing. So you think it's are you saying like just the bigger club scenes. Are you just talking about club scenes in general? Well, I was going to get to that because I think what I've experienced with where you've been DJing I've been DJing, is the club experience is also different as well too, meaning the bigger, the bigger, thousand people VOCA places are not really a thing anymore, right, well, at least from what I see. Yeah, I'm sure Vegas, I'm sure they're Okay.
It's a little different because you've got like the whole world going to that spots. But then in these individual cities it does seem like the bigger just to say, dance clubs are not really a thing, but the more chill, loungey clubs are better. I know. We started to kind of see that shift even before the pandemic a little bit. But now it really seems like that's more of the vibe of just a bar, a lounge, something a little bit smaller, nothing where it's just like packed of like hundreds of
people on the dance floor dancing. That doesn't really seem like a thing anymore. And that could also be a generational thing too, you know, with like the gen Z coming up. Maybe that's not really their vibe, right, well, why wouldn't it, Like I don't know, I mean, I don't know. I just maybe they're just more or of like a kickback kind of crowd. Maybe they're more of like a a house party type of crowd. Don't know. Maybe it's that big dance party is just not really
their thing. The only reason why I ask is, you know, I've been DJing for years and every generation the clubs are packed, like there's always a generation. To me, there's this generation lives on social media. Now, that's what's different. So if they're doing dancing, it's they're making a dance for TikTok. You know what I'm saying. They're not going to the club to meet up with people, They're meaning with people online. Yeah,
you hit it right there. Yeah, that's what I've been noticing. You said it, all the smaller venues, chill venues, even the music, the music style. You know what's big right now are the throwbacks, those clubs, those lounges. It's it's not just that big party ed M energy clubs. It's everyone loves the throwbacks. Now that's for me as a DJ, that's what's been working more. Yeah, yeah, is all the older stuff. So yeah, man, that's crazy. Now if we say into
this like entertainment realm will just shift over to like movie theaters. I know I've seen a change in at least the amount of people that go to movie theaters has really dipped, which is time which to me, I still, and I've talked about this in previous podcasts, I still appreciate the movie theater
experience. However, going back a few podcasts ago, there are people I think it was an I Hate People podcast where people ruin that experience for me by just being loud, coming in late, not watching their kid like that part has ruined it for me, But just the attendance of movie theaters, And of course I think that one might have stemmed a little bit from well, a combination of streaming and the pandemic kind of changed that because a lot
of these companies were just throwing content on streaming instead of the movie, and I think that's sort of like kept up or they're going to streaming so fast now, I mean less than two months. You'll see a movie go from the theaters to streaming, and before it would be like five months or something like that. They would drag it out, and it's like they go into the movie theaters for they have like a good few weekends. Maybe, especially if you're a big movie, maybe stick it out for a month, and
then after that it's already gonna it's hitting digital already. So why do I go pay for a movie theater when it's gonna come out in like a month. I don't I don't remember the last time I saw a packed, sold out movie theater. I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think of it. I think it was Spider Man No Way Home, right, That's what I was gonna say. Yeah, I think that was the last time I saw a packed movie theater. Yeah, I think those type of movies,
those type of events. I mean, Barbie was pretty big during that during that time, but again, that was something that was created by social media. It's almost like you have to have this hype to create people that want to go, oh, experience these movies in a movie theater. But other than that, I think people are like I could wait for that, you know what I'm saying, which can kind of piggyback off of streaming and how
big streaming has came. I know you've said that you've like don't have any any as much anymore, But what are the services you have so ill? The ones that the ones that I'm paying for is Netflix. I'm paying for that one, okay, and then the rest is all like shared for my sister. So my Hulu is for my sister. And I think that's it. I think those are the only two because the others they I was doing
the free for a year or whatever and it's it's gone now. Yeah, man, I mean I got I literally got all of them, Hulu, Disney plus Max, Peacock, Apple, even Netflix Prime. I mean I have everything. You know. What's bugging me is there's a lot of good, good shows right now on different platforms, and a lot of them I
don't have, And so I'm feeling that fomo where I'm missing out. Yeah, yeah, it and cable is not really even a thing anymore, right, I mean, with all these streaming services, you don't need cable anymore other than live sports, I guess would be the only reason. But then youven with that, Yeah, you got like Prime Video, you got like uh, you know, Peacock for Sunday night football, you got ESPN so and then just the individual apps like Fox yeah exactly, CBS have apps that
you could stream because that's what I do. So it feels like cable is definitely going to be like just not a thing anymore. It's it's definitely moving there. But what's starting to really bother me is just how much these streaming services and how fast they're raising these prices. I mean, you got you know, Disney, They've raised their prices twice in a year, and of course they're you know, they're coming up with these ways where you can't share
passwords anymore. And then it almost starts to feel like cable again because now they got these ad versions that you can pay for that are cheaper, and it's like streaming. The perk of having streaming was not dealing with commercials, and now you got different packages like, oh, you can get streaming with ads without ads, with HD with or four K and not four K. And it's like all these different versions and I'm just like yo, adding up
all these streaming services. It's like way more than even cable was at this point. Do you remember I left cable because the stream like you know, the three or four streaming services that were out there were like five bucks, ten bucks, you know what I mean. And you were saving so much money getting rid of cable. All you needed was Internet and these streaming service and now it's going way over what you were paying when you just had cable. Yeah, it's so wild. By the way, what are you watching
on streaming right now? Anything following? No? Not nothing big because you know basketball is back. Yeah, oh yeah, footballs on, balls on. So that's what I've been using these streaming services for. I've been rewatching shows lately, like Seinfeld. I've been rewatching on Netflix. I'm using one of my friends max account and friends is on there and I know you restart watching and I watched that all the time. Ye yeah, So I was like, man, let me just start from the beginning and kind of like
see see the show again. So but nothing no, nothing new. Okay, are you watching anything? What are you streaming right now? You know I've been on that journey too of catching up on these old streaming shows that I just never invested in. So I've recently caught up on Stranger Things. I'm like all caught up now. That was like a really good show. But right now, the shows that I'm on Loki that's on Disney Plus right now. Also gen V that's something that's like The Boys spin off. That's
a that's on Amazon Prime. And then The Morning Show on Apple. I know you were tuned in to that. Yeah, all these things that you're saying, all those streaming service I used to yeah, man, but you're right though. It's one of those things where it's like, damn, I don't really even Like The Morning Show is kind of like the only thing I watch on Apple. Yeah, you know Prime Video The Boys and gen V is kind of the only thing that watch on Prime Video, although you get
that free shipping too with the Amazon Prime. Another thing that has changed in the world that we live in is how we shop, and this has you know, online shopping is nothing new, but it's definitely been like now a lot of people are doing it curbside pick up. Well, okay, that's funny you said that because just recently, because I don't usually do the curb side pickup. I'm the guy that just parks and just goes in. There was this one time where I just just let me just try. You know
why. It's because Target is making they're making these parking lot structures. Yeah, yeah, this specific. You know. Target's really big on that. Yeah. They make it like look nice and organized. You pull up and it's like a certain number and everything they know to come out. I recently tried it and boom, like the guy comes out to parking stall and just it gives you your the things that you shop for. I will say this,
this is where it's it's a negative thing for me. I had a list of things that I shopped for, and then three things were like oh these are these are not available here? Like oh man, Like if I would have just walked in there, I would have not found it. Then I would have not known. Yeah yeah, yeah, see, I haven't really did the online shopping or even you ever do like the groceries. One
what I've never done the grocery. Yeah, I see the thing I don't like about that is sometimes I like to just pick my own, like something, and like I can't rely on this person if they're picking it for me. Like what if you picked the the you know, the box I didn't like, or you know sometimes you know, sometimes you go to the store you like to grab from the back, or you know there's no one touched
this one, you know. I I'm kind of picking that sense. And now at this point, you're just relying on a worker to do that for you, especially groceries, like you really have to trust to that person's getting the right stuff for you because groceries you kind of want to be specific on what you're grabbing, especially when it comes to like fruits and vegetables. So I've don't really embrace that yet, but I do know that a lot of people are. And back to what we were even saying about like the food
pickup orders, they're building these things, you know. Now they're building these parking lots to made for like you know, a curbsot pickup. I think we've brought this up before. You're not a fan. Are you a fan of online shopping? I mean I shop on Amazon a lot. Yeah, yeah, But I mean if it's stores here that I can go to. No, yeah, I think that's the same with me. If it's something
that I can't get here in town, yes I will do it. But the reason why I'm not a big fan of online shopping is because the pictures get me. I'm looking at the pictures, Yes I want this, and it when it gets to my place, it's not the same as the picture at least I don't know. It's just or if it's clothing, it just
doesn't fit right. The clothing one is tough. I get lucky a lot, but there has been times where didn't fit how I thought it would fit, and sometimes just me being me, depending on like how much it was, sometimes I'm just like fuck it, you know what I mean, y'all just take the l on it, or maybe just give it to somebody. But yeah, that's the only thing that's tough about is there's the consistency of
sizing is a little off a lot of times, especially with shoes. I recently that I've done that where I ordered the size that I am, but then apparently I'm supposed to size up on this particular shoe, had to return it. I mean, they took care of me, but it just you know, buying a pair of shoe took months, yeah, just to get so Yeah, I mean, I'm I do see the convenience in it.
And I'm not I'm not giving up on online shopping because I do still use it, but yeah, if it's somewhere here that I could just grab, I'm I'm a fan of just grabbing it. Yeah. I mean, like even malls, like that's not even really a thing anymore. Bro. I recently went to a mall that I remember that it was back home in LA and I was like, Oh, there's this popular mall that it used to Now it's a ghost town all this A lot of the stores are closed.
Yeah, there are so many random stores there. Yeah, super random. I mean I was going going back to me recently watching Strangers Things and season three, it was really like mall driven. Yeah, like a lot a lot of the story took place in the mall and just the way they made the mall look during that era of the eighties and you know, even going into the nineties, it just looks so fun and cool at that time,
Like damn, like this was a vibe during that era. Yeah, I mean I was really young, I don't really know, but just looking at it, like, Wow, people really hung out there and had a good time shopping and everything looked cool. And and now it's like sometimes go into the mall as a ghost town and it's just And a lot of it has to do with the online shopping aspect. I think it's wild for us, you know, for me in particular too, because I grew up hanging out
at the mall when I was in high school. Yeah, you know, especially when I was a senior in high school and we got you know, we're driving now. We would drive to different cities to go hang out, right, Yeah, to go check out the girls in that city because everyone was at the mall and we didn't buy anything. We didn't have money to buy things. We didn't have to know, Like it was just a hangout spot. We just went to hang out and also go to the photography store
and take pictures. I remember those pictures. Oh man, Yeah, the mall. The malls are not a big thing anymore. Another thing that's changing with the life today is working from home. Oh yeah, that's a big one. Actually, it wasn't really big for me or even you really. I never had the experience working from home. I was able to like come in here and have my own studio at the station. But the world, a lot of people work from home. I'm sure you know people that have
kind of just stay working from home since the pandemic. Yeah, we have this department here at our building, the traffic department where they take care of like commercials and stuff, and a lot of them have been working from home since the past three years. Yeah, Like I haven't even seen a lot of coworkers that are in that department. They have a desk here, and we have not seen them these since since I started working here three years ago,
I've not seen them once. I mean, it definitely has its perks. I know, I read a lot of stuff about how much money people save working from home because you know, gas, going to lunch, and other random expenses you would you know, buy things on your way to work or from work, and people save a lot of money, you know, just being at home. But at the same time, there's the negative side to it, because I know a lot of people will tend to slack snack
a lot. There's a lot of weight gain. You don't really get your exercise in when you're just chilling at home like that. But I mean, if you like it, if it works for your life, you know whatever. But it's it's weird because that just didn't seem like a thing unless you were like an entrepreneur or something like that. That was the only way you were working from home. And now it's norm to be working from home. I don't know if it's because we're lucky to be working in this industry.
We working at a freaking radio station. But I've worked from home a couple of times this year, this past year, where you know, if I look at the task that I have for the day, I'm looking at it and going I could do this from home, And one day I did. I just did it from home, which was fine. It was a little on the boring end. I'm a fan of being in this scene. I'm a fan of being in this building. The environment. Environment, the environment
matters, you know. I'm home like I lived there, so I'd like to get out, you know, so when at least I come here, it's some escapism. I could see people, I could talk to people. I just can't do the home thing. I saw something on TikTok recently where they were saying that working from home is actually a bad thing because they were saying, yes, the same work gets done. We get that what you do in an office and what you do at home, Yes, the work
gets done. They say. The positive thing why people need to work back in their building is energy. Yeah, it's to create with others and you know, helping each other. Just yeah, the energy is what makes working at the office a thing. And you know, there's also something to be said. If I need to talk to somebody, talk to somebody, I
could just like walk over and talk to them. I don't have to like email them, Y know where you wats and you know, I could, like if I need an answer, I could literally just go walk up to you real quick. I don't have to email you or text you or call you. But but in that same breath of human interaction, let's swing over to social media because social media has even gotten a little different these past few years. Obviously, TikTok is something that definitely took off during the pandemic.
Influencers is like a big thing in this world now. Marketing on social media is so big. I mean, I know you've been somebody like you kind of just talked about it. I've seen someone talk about a product and you like buying it right, like, so people are making commercials right there on our phones, and it's just everything is just there. We talk to people, we get our answers from people, all on social media. And you know, you got these platforms that are fighting each other. Now you know
X is Twitter and Twitter is X and then you got threads. Now that's jumping the mix Meta and Facebook and Instagram, and it's just creating a whole different genre. And what I don't like about it and where I see it's going. Where I see it's heading is everyone having to pay for social media. I haven't seen this yet. So obviously, you know, some of these companies have incorporated things that you can pay for to have, like your check mark to yeah, you know like or X Twitter, Instagram does that?
Instagram subscriptions Yeah, by the way, I have not, I see like my send me. I don't know if they're doing it, but maybe it's an algorithm or a thing where it's just like, hey, your friend has a subscription page subscription Like no, like you're like, ye, see
your page. I'm already I mean, but that's that's where it's headed though, I mean, we may laugh at these things now and say, oh, we're not gonna do that, and you don't have to, but I honestly feel at some point it's gonna be a thing where they're gonna start charging us to use social media. Bro. It's it's I mean, I know Elon Musk keeps talking about the only way to get rid of bots is to charge people. So I think right now he's testing something in some other countries
where a new user has to pay a dollar. I mean it's like for the whole year or whatever. But it's these little things kind of like how we said with streaming service, it's like, oh, it's started off cool, right, it was low price, no ads, but then what the ads started to creep in, the prices started to go up, and we kind of just go along with it, right because we're already into deep same
thing with social media. All right, you just gotta pay for your little check mark, or you got to pay us a dollar a year, or if you want, you know, more views or more insight, you pay a little bit. Okay, Now everyone's gonna have to start to pay a dollar all right. Now everyone's gonna have to start to pay monthly next, you know, we're all gonna be paying like ten bucks a month for fucking social media. That's how it doesn't many. You could keep me out of
that talk right there. I don't Well, maybe it's a good thing that, you know, I'm at the age where like social media is not a big deal to me like it was in the past. You weren't raised in it. Yeah, yeah, obviously we use it for our jobs and entertainments. Entertainment. Yeah, but I'm gonna be mad if I gotta start paying for TikTok and yeah, that might be my cuteed like all right, you guys can your generation you have this? Yeah, you know, I don't
know. I don't know how it's gonna get there or or or maybe it's gonna be like a YouTube situation where you know you're gonna be in the middle of social media and these ads are just gonna like pop up on you and you can't like skip them. But if you want to skip these ads, you can subscribe for like five bucks. I could see a situation like that.
I have friends who who they speak highly on YouTube TV. You pay for like the premium no ads they I've heard, Well, you also get live TV with that too, right, Yeah, that might see that's I like that. I like how we've been talking about all these other ones, but we have not talked about YouTube TV. And well that's because we don't have it, so we don't know nothing about it. But like the NFL Sunday tickets on there now. But I'm hearing really good things about it.
Like what if some of my friends say that that's all they need. Yeah, I mean you you get, you basically get live channels, and you also get YouTube videos without ads. I do see that pop up that says you want to try for three months on doesn't sound like a bad deal. Yeah, and then I could get rid of more stuff. Yeah, maybe this is the only one I'll need to. But I mean, this is
the life that we live now, like the life of convenience. Yeah, I mean, if you think about it, you know, back in the days, if something was on live TV at eight o'clock, you have to get there at that time to watch it. You'd have to get you'd have to tune in Sunday nights to catch the new premiere of whatever. And now it's just like, oh it comes out this day, I'll watch it,
I'll binge it I'll catch up on it. Like it's it's literally at your convenience when you want to watch your favorite TV show now, which was part of life though, that's how life was, where you I needed to get home to make this fucking show. Yeah, or everyone or everyone had watched parties so everyone had to watch it at the same time. And then remember the technology that came up after that was was TVO where you can record it,
and it was like, oh, now you go. It's wild just seeing the only the only thing that people care about that has to be live is sports. That's the only thing because that's something that we need to watch, like wild, it's going everything else, your favorite TV show, movies, even news because you can get your news on social media. That shit you can watch at your convenience. The only thing that is still hanging in there that you have to watch live is sports. But even that's getting shifted
to stream. But it's still live though, but yeah, it's just on a different platform. Well, even if you see the sporting events that are streamed, it's becoming those are even becoming events people are having watched parts like oh, come over to watch the game, so those are still happening. You're right with sports, but I mean everything else, it's it's just so different. Man. But you know, just like we always take just like we always talk about, you don't want to be left behind in this world.
So you sort of just have to like not fight technology, not fight the world. If we're all going this way, you kind of have to like embrace it a little bit at least if you don't want to be left behind. Yeah. I think that's something that you and I have always said to each other that you know, we embrace, we understand the new technology. We're not gonna fight it. We're not gonna fight it even you know, they're like we were just saying right now about oh, paying with social
media. Yeah, I'm saying you're saying it now, I'm saying it now. But also I'm gonna even if I do step away from it, I'm not gonna hate on it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we you know, we kind of just understand that that's where the world is at. Yeah. As long as you understand that that's where the world is and it's just you just have to accept it. You don't necessarily have to be a part of it. Just know that you might be left behind. But You don't
have to be mad at it. You know what I'm saying. Don't be left behind.
