| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Forever 35, a podcast about the things we do to take care of ourselves. I'm Dori |
| 0:16.1 | and I'm Elise Hugh and we're just two friends who like to talk about serums. |
| 0:22.2 | And this is a mini episode where we hear from you. |
| 0:24.8 | We share your comments and your thoughts and we answer your questions to the best of our ability. |
| 0:30.3 | But please remember, we are not experts. |
| 0:33.5 | We are podcast hosts and we always encourage you to seek support first and foremost from a medical and or mental health professional as needed. |

| 0:52.0 | It sounds like she has that new show, so your parents are old. |

| 1:34.3 | Xi Jinping, are like in a physical brawl. Also AI generated nonsense. And so this whole, |
| 1:42.1 | the whole boomers and screen time discussion needs to be had. |
| 1:47.6 | Like, we talk so much. There's so much discourse about kids in screen time. But what about |
| 1:52.4 | our parents in screen time? Well, you know, it's funny you say that because I saw something |
| 1:58.9 | somewhere that someone was like, I now have to like treat my parents |
| 2:04.3 | like my children when it comes to screen time. I'm here like monitoring what my mom is watching |
| 2:10.1 | on YouTube. That and it's more dangerous with them though because they have their phones |
