Hey guys, welcome to the Tech You Should Know podcast. I'm Mike James, and today we're giving you some life-changing tips.

picture because there are so many other photos getting in the way.

So let me tell you, that is a great way to kill the mood, kill the story, and soon your friend's going to be bored.

They'll start looking away, maybe fiddling with their own phone, taking too long.
