| 0:00.0 | Toucher and Hardy 985 the Sports Hub. |
| 0:03.5 | We have been having what I think is an interesting conversation over the course of the week. |
| 0:09.5 | This is, and by the way, I'll just get this ahead of this. |
| 0:12.2 | This is the opposite of old man yelling at a cloud because this is the opposite sentiment of this. |
| 0:17.8 | There is reports that the peak of social media use was 22 and that since then it's |
| 0:26.5 | been going down about 10% a year and they're saying that young people are not posting as much |

| 1:16.9 | I call you Tribe Called Quest. |
| 1:17.9 | You're a vibrant thing. |
| 1:21.1 | So I, uh, or that might have just been cute then. But I, uh, like my take is when these, these social media sites first start, the innovators on it are the ones that are cool and they make it kind of cool. |
| 1:35.5 | And then when every other, including myself, piece of garbage gets on it, untalents the thing up, and it just becomes garbage. |
| 1:47.1 | And so that's what I think happens. |
