Hi everyone, I'm Susie Weiss, and I've noticed there's just simply not enough podcasts in the world. So I'm launching my own. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Second Thought is a weekly show about pop culture. The stuff everyone's been binging, arguing about, obsessing over. Here's the thing about heated rivalry. I mean, even the most devoted swifties, I think we can agree, not our best work. We'll be hosting thoughtful conversations with culture's most important figures. Talk about genius.

Talk about generational talent.

Coming to headphones near you on

April 17th with a first guess you won't want to miss. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

I think it's a reflex at this point. You touch the phone, you check Facebook. Touch the phone,

you check Instagram. It's a constant thing. And it's not

anything nefarious either. It's not like there's an old boyfriend out there. It's just,

I want to see what other people are doing. I'm like, who cares? Welcome to how to. I'm Amanda

Ripley. Today, we're going to kick things off with a quick pop quiz. First, are you listening

to me right now through your smartphone? Cool, make sense. And tell the truth, were you just

scrolling through Twitter or Instagram? Do you find it hard to go even 10 minutes without checking

your email or a news feed? What about when you see a

beautiful sunset? Do you ever struggle to just be present without taking a picture to tell

everyone about it on social media? Okay, so if you answered yes to any of those questions,

well, you are definitely not alone and you are in the right

place, which is why we were so grateful to get this voicemail from a listener in North Carolina.

I'm having a really hard time with my wife being addicted to Facebook, constantly wanting to measure up to Facebook, and I can't

get her to break that habit. And I don't know what else to do, and that's why I'm calling.

This listener asked us to go by the name James, and he'll call his wife, Angela.

I'm almost 40. I have a wife, Angela, and two kids. We met over

Christmas, met, quote unquote, online five years ago. Okay. So the internet has been a blessing

and a curse like it has for most of us, it sounds like. I gave a toast at my buddy's wedding and I said, you know, I'm glad to see you guys met the old-fashioned way, same way we did, over the Internet.
