Hello, bud. Hi, Lauren. I'm really excited to talk about today's subject. You know why? Why? Because it's something that everyone

everybody has. It's with you always. Some people may say that they're even addicted to it. Really?

And I'm trying to think what other descriptors I can do. It's tracking you and everything that you do

and everywhere that you go. It's probably really dirty. Oh yeah, there's lots of germs on it.

What are we talking about? Smartphone. Oh yes, these things, these smartphones. Which is you actually

came up with this topic and I was like, that's a good one. We're going to do that now because yeah, we both

have a lot to say on this topic. I think we do. I don't know if we have differing opinions, but that's

what this podcast is all about. Finding out what we actually disagree on. I think we

not too many. I mean, different on some things, but are probably a green agreement on most of the

yeah, things about phones. And while trying to figure out the talking points for this one,

I thought it would be best to do like the good first. It's kind of what we usually do though.

Yeah, that's true. No, sometimes we dive into the scary things, but I'm going to try and keep

us on topic today and try to not dive into the scary stuff immediately because I feel like we

have been doing that a lot. When did you get your first smartphone or sorry, when did you get your

first cellular telephone? I didn't even have that in the talking. When did you get your first phone?

So my for my first phone cellular telephone. I think I was mobile phone. I think it was like my last

I think it was my last year of middle school. Yeah, I think that was when my mom thought I was going

to high school, I should have a phone because I have after school activities or something ever happens.

She wants me to contact her, but that was very different back in the day because they weren't

smartphones. They weren't smartphones. I think I got the first color phone. Really? I'm pretty sure.

I had the the Nokia one. I never had that. I never had that phone. I think it was around 13.

I thought that had snake on it. Yeah, I'd say you could play snake, you could text and you could call.
