6
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:17.439
bringing my my co host TG Love. How are you.
7
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:19.280

Oh yeah, wonderful, just wonder just just lovely and wonderful.
10
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.080
Just fucking lovely and wonderful. I'm looking forward to my
11
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.400
vacation in September. So all right, that's what I'm gonna
12
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.719
focus on that day.
13
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.560
I usually got something to focus on, right, Yeah, absolutely absolutely,
14
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.919
So we're gonna get into We're gonna get into an
15
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:58.080
email that we got sent. And the thing about it is,
16
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:03.840
it's a big issue, a big topic around everything. It's
17
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:11.680
relationships and social media, the problems that social media causes
18
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:18.479
in relationships. So, you know, and to be quite honest
19
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:24.400
with you, I think I think that's that's a really big,
20
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.599
big issue, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's a
21
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:34.759
big problem because you know, you you sit there and
22
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.120
you're with someone and you know they have either either
23
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.680
they have a social media presence or they're just too
24
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:49.000
into what's going on in the world of social media
25
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.439
other than what's going on in your relationship. You know
26
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:58.120
what I mean. So I'm gonna read this email and
27
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:09.639
we'll discuss see, okay, search go what's the same? H Well?
28
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.800
Are you? Are you? I'll let you.
29
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.120
I don't know what what's that say?
30
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.120
It's on the screen you think I can.
31
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.120
See on my phone right now with these old guys.
32
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:31.319
Oh, hollyians hollis that's how you pronounce it?
33
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:32.079
I haven't.
34
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.160
I don't know. P O L Y N E S
35
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:42.000
I A N S. All right, whatever it is?
36
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:48.480
What what about this? I don't want to whip out glasses.
37
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.319
It's the book.
38
00:04:52.759 --> 00:05:00.120
Anyway, So thank you for the comment. And yeah, so
39
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.759
this is an email? What's up? This might her crew?
40
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.879
Social media didn't just damaged my relationship. It dragged that
41
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.800
shit into the street and ran it over. Every like
42
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:22.240
becomes an interrogation, every new follower becomes a suspect, and
43
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.480
every time one of us picked up the phone, the
44
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.160
other is wondering who the hell is getting more attention
45
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.360
and the person sitting right beside them. We stopped talking
46
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:40.560
face to face and started communicating through shady posts, indirect captions, screenshots,
47
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.680
and silent treatments. We looked happy online, but behind closed
48
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.839
doors we were insecure, angry, suspicious, and slowly becoming strangers.
49
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.480
The final nail in the coffin was the DMS. Nothing,
50
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.480
nothing physical happened. At least that's what I was told.
51
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:16.759
At least, that's what I was told. That's track right.
52
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:22.399
At least I was told I was told. But there
53
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:28.000
were hidden conversations, deleted messages, heart reactions, and enough sneaky
54
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.079
behavior to make me trust, to make trust impossible. By
55
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.160
the time we realized we were fighting harder over social
56
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.120
media than we were fighting over each other, the relationship
57
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:44.680
was already dead. We gave complete strangers unlimited access to
58
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.120
our attention while starving each other for love, respect, and reassurance.
59
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:57.120
Social media didn't create everything, didn't create every problem we had,
60
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.800
but it handed But it handed our problem a microphone,
61
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.800
a spotlight, a front row seat to watch the destroy,
62
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.160
to watch it destroy everything and us. How can I
63
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.079
deal with a relationship in the future knowing that social
64
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.519
media has such a grip on society these days?
65
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.759
I mean, well, for one, we have the power to
66
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:30.800
not let that be the case. I mean, seriously, Sadly,
67
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:37.560
it is that simple, Like I totally understand it. I
68
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:46.720
get it, because man, I have become very addicted to Facebook.
69
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.279
I had to delete it off of my home screen
70
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:59.120
because it was like habitual that my finger was touching
71
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.560
it and looking. And what's crazy is a lot of
72
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.839
the shit that I see is not even my friend's
73
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.000
stuff now right, It's a lot of pages. You're following, people,
74
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.879
you're following ads, like you know, whatever your algorithm is
75
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:13.879
at the time.
76
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.560
Algorithm can be funny though, yes, uh, and.
77
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.480
It really all depends like what you're liking and what
78
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.839
you're kind of like doing on there in order for
79
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:32.399
that to go like go down. So I think we
80
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.399
we put way too much on social media. I think
81
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.320
we And when I say way too much, i'd putting
82
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:45.360
way too much. I mean, like putting so much around
83
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:50.919
what happens on social media, not what you're putting on
84
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.279
your post and shit like that. I mean, like there
85
00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:04.440
is this just weird compos that people have that they
86
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:08.919
just want attention a lot of people this is the
87
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:14.600
only attention they're getting, which like this is not healthy.
88
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.279
There has to be balance in every in all of us,
89
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.720
in all of our lives. I'm not saying like you
90
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.799
can't use social media, because there's good things that come
91
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.120
out of social media as well. Okay, like you do
92
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.559
get updated on things. You do get to stay in
93
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.720
touch with people from back in the day or whatever
94
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.440
like throughout your life if you want you you know,
95
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.840
you do get ideas and you know, creative and stuff
96
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:48.039
like that as well. But it can also harm you
97
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:51.519
in the sense that you can see what people are
98
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:59.039
posting sometimes or what they are showing you. Because I've
99
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.279
always learned that the couples that are having the good
100
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.600
relationships are the ones that are not posting on Facebook
101
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.720
and social media all the time.
102
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.759
Well, well, when you say that, do you mean about
103
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.159
their relationship or just about whatever in general?
104
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:20.399
Correct, like relationship or like also like we got to
105
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.879
remember too, it's very easy for us, like when we
106
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.720
get upset that we want to vent about things. And
107
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.159
I'm not saying it's not good to vent. Definitely need
108
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.159
to fucking vent right and to the right people, right,
109
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.279
so big C knows, like I'll go to him sometimes,
110
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.000
you know when I'm just like shit's going crazy because
111
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.759
I overthink and it's like, hey, this is what's going
112
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.960
on you know, like talk to me, you know, and that.
113
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.559
But I feel like that's you kind of need that
114
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:59.480
sometimes just to be able to process shit, to like
115
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.919
get it, because once you get it out and you're
116
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.080
like talking about things and stuff like, I feel like
117
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.919
it's a lot easier to process because you're also hearing
118
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.120
yourself saying shit out loud and then and then sometimes
119
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:18.080
you're just like, oh, it's interesting how I even just
120
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.799
said that. You know, like you catch yourself with certain shit,
121
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.559
and it gives you opportunities to like be like wait
122
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:31.519
a minute, you know, like but it's also about how
123
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.480
much time Like that there was a mention about how
124
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:40.320
much time you're you're giving, right, your attention shouldn't be
125
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.440
going to social media all the time, Like if you're
126
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:48.080
home with your partner, should be spending time with that.
127
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.120
When did that stop? Like when did we? Like and
128
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.879
I get it because Hobby and I go to the
129
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.039
restaurant sometimes and we're both on our phones and I'll
130
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.360
catch us and I'll be like, bro, like talk to me,
131
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.960
like like well right now, but like talk.
132
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.879
To me, like, you know, you know what else is
133
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:14.240
a problem too with reels and stuff you see on
134
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.080
social media is that once you're looking at all these
135
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.360
things that people are doing, people are sharing, and you
136
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:27.720
start to look at your relationship, like comparing.
137
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.200
We do that with everything, right, it's not even relationships
138
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.919
with ourselves. We're constantly comparing seeing what people are doing, like, oh,
139
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.440
how come this person is doing this and this? And
140
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.759
then I'm over here struggling and it's like, well, we
141
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.559
have very different lives and I have no idea what
142
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.639
that person is really doing in their life, Like yeah, yeah.
143
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:58.000
You have those those reels that are like vacations, gifts,
144
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.120
talking about their or the way they look and the
145
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.720
picture of the perfect couple, right, pick pictures of healthy relationships,
146
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.000
and then you look at that and you're saying to yourself,
147
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.399
where are we going wrong? But that's not the case though.
148
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:23.000
Right, Well, look, it's very easy for misinformation to be given, right,
149
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.600
It's that's how they do it with reels. Reels are quick, right,
150
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.919
and it gives you the information that you need in
151
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.279
those things. There are times where like I'll find myself
152
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:38.039
seeing shit and then I'll say, hold on, I need
153
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.919
to make sure this is real, like cause I'm like
154
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.519
is this legit? Or you know, you have to be careful.
155
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.120
But that's the same thing with people, you know and
156
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.879
stuff like that. You got to you can't assume shit,
157
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.840
and you can't be like looking at other people's stories
158
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.320
and stuff and being like assuming like you know what's
159
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:04.080
going on. Unless you're talking to me directly, you have
160
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.559
no idea what's going on. Like I could be posting
161
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:13.240
shit just because I liked what it said or like
162
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.559
made me laugh, because there are some you know, memes
163
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.799
and shit out there really fucking funny, and you want
164
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:27.200
to chair that's cool, right, But but I also don't
165
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.960
agree with people who like post their whole life stories
166
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:39.080
for for the wrong reasons, you know, you know, I
167
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.799
feel like people social media allows you to create a narrative.
168
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.720
It allows you to create a story that you want
169
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:53.440
to give people, so you can be acting and doing
170
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.399
all this shit on social media, acting like your life
171
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.559
is good, but meanwhile it isn't. You're miserable, you're lonely,
172
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.159
you're fucking insecure, you're constantly And that's the other thing,
173
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.960
Like it becomes too much. People care too much about
174
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:17.759
what strangers say, like comments that are bad. We give
175
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.279
too much power and attention to things that we're not
176
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.120
going to be able to control, and they're not worth
177
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:29.879
our fucking time, right, Like, why am I arguing online
178
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:36.519
with some rando? I Like, this person could seriously not
179
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.360
even be a person, right Like this person could also
180
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:45.360
just be somewhere else, and they're doing this purposely, right,
181
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:49.279
so to get a rise out of people, because the
182
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:55.879
internet has created Internet warriors, it is created an easy
183
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.240
way for people to just be assholes because they fucking
184
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:06.120
want to be and and there's no consequences, so you
185
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:10.679
gotta be careful. And also you can't give too much.
186
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.639
What are these comments because I can't see anything?
187
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.600
Oh these that that's that's just people saying what's up?
188
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.840
And then the one before we go any further I
189
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:24.960
want to get I have I have to do this.

197
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:06.160
Keyboard Warriors Internet gangsters. That's what That's what the comments
198
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.880
are saying right here, Keyboard warriors and their gang bangers
199
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.759
stuff like that.
200
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.559
They're like the hardest ever, most gangster. It's ridiculous. But
201
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.039
honestly a lot of these people don't know their ass
202
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:25.200
from their elbow. So it's like, you really are wasting
203
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:33.000
energy for no fucking reason none. And I look, I've
204
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:38.720
caught myself getting involved in shit, you know, because part
205
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.720
of you wants to be a solution. You want, like,
206
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:47.440
because I was a teacher, I want people to understand
207
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:52.400
the facts are facts. So like, I get very upset
208
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.640
when people just won't accept truth for what it is.
209
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.559
You know, when they were like, it's such a weird
210
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.680
time where you know, people will believe something more on
211
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:11.119
TikTok uh than they would on an actual news media outlet.
212
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.160
And I get it, you know. I mean there are
213
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:16.640
studies and things being done, people watching.
214
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.240
What's wild, too, is that when when you get these couples,
215
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:28.759
that's that that that start these public arguments. You're not
216
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:33.599
you're not doing anything positive by doing that. It's a detriment.
217
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.599
It's it's humiliating your partner, you know what I'm saying
218
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:40.240
like you're you're you're beefing and you're talking all this
219
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.279
craft about your relationship and instead of going to that
220
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.440
person directly, you're humiliating them and yourself.
221
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:54.279
You're making the person small and you're embarrassing you're both
222
00:18:54.440 --> 00:19:00.920
embarrassing yourselves basically, because that's not the fucking place for
223
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:07.400
that shit. Ever, if you're making your business a public
224
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.279
why are you making money off of it? Is somebody
225
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.720
paying for your conflict? Like if you're making money because
226
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.599
you want some social media shit and they like, then
227
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.359
I can understand that, you know, like real people having
228
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.039
real relationships and then airing shit out or just getting
229
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:31.039
like this is the same thing with like being angry
230
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.599
at your partner and going to talk to your friend
231
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.480
about it instead of talking to them about it. Right,
232
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:42.000
Because what's gonna happen if I keep telling you about
233
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:46.400
you know that my husband did this all negative shit?
234
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:48.240
Are you gonna like my husband.
235
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:49.960
Nah, that's a problem.
236
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.720
You're you're gonna look at him and be like, Bro,
237
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.039
this guy's a dick, Like what are you fucking doing?
238
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:55.640
Right?
239
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:01.599
Like, why are you wasting your time? Because I'm I'm
240
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:06.680
giving you a perspective that I have. Okay, I'm giving
241
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:12.319
you what what I like, my interpretation of what happened. Right,
242
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:18.279
they say there's three, Like, there's uh with the truth
243
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.559
in line, right, everyone has their their version. You know,
