They're making money off this. How can I make money off this? 399 00:28:16,738 --> 00:28:20,960 I started a fashion label like a year after I got off The Bachelor 400 00:28:21,003 --> 00:28:25,616 and so that that was really successful. So that was basically all promoting 401 00:28:25,660 --> 00:28:31,187 you know on my social media and then yeah it just kind of spiraled from there. 402 00:28:31,231 --> 00:28:35,104 [Greg] We realized that we could really start to help restaurants grow their Instagram 403 00:28:35,148 --> 00:28:38,064 and their social media and really just help out their business 404 00:28:38,107 --> 00:28:40,762 by creating really engaging content, 405 00:28:40,806 --> 00:28:44,766 stuff that we learned through our expertise of just being in the field, 406 00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:47,377 going to restaurants, taking pictures and everything. 407 00:28:47,421 --> 00:28:53,644 And we started about two and a half years ago with a restaurant in the Lower East Side, 408 00:28:53,688 --> 00:28:58,040 taking pictures for them, taking videos, creating really awesome content for them 409 00:28:58,084 --> 00:29:00,739 and we were just like, "Hey let's try this out. 410 00:29:00,782 --> 00:29:02,653 See if it works. See if it helps their business?" 411 00:29:02,697 --> 00:29:07,354 And I mean in about, what? Two months we gained them ten thousand followers 412 00:29:07,397 --> 00:29:08,790 -on Instagram-- -It's insane. 413 00:29:08,834 --> 00:29:11,488 And they were a relatively new restaurant. 414 00:29:11,532 --> 00:29:14,404 They just started blowing up when it comes to their-- 415 00:29:14,448 --> 00:29:16,363 their brunch crowd was out the door. 416 00:29:16,406 --> 00:29:18,713 So it really, really helped and that's when we realized 417 00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:22,195 we can turn this into legitimate mark-- media and marketing company. 418 00:29:22,238 --> 00:29:25,676 I made ten thousand dollars in one year, you know working all day. 419 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:31,726 My second year I did 30,000. My third year we did-- I did 80,000. 420 00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:35,643 And then when I sort of built my team the next year, we did you know 200,000. 421 00:29:35,686 --> 00:29:39,038 The year after that. So basically my fifth-year and that was my goal. 422 00:29:39,081 --> 00:29:41,344 I was like, I dropped out of university. 423 00:29:41,388 --> 00:29:44,260 I was like I want to be doing six figures by the time my friends are finished University 424 00:29:44,304 --> 00:29:46,480 because I was getting so much flack for being done. 425 00:29:46,523 --> 00:29:48,917 I was like you know what? I'm going to hit six figures before and so 426 00:29:48,961 --> 00:29:51,964 by the time my friends were done at school, I was-- I did 200,000. 427 00:29:52,007 --> 00:29:54,140 That was the fourth year at the fifth year 428 00:29:55,228 --> 00:29:57,404 my company, we did a million dollars. 429 00:29:57,447 --> 00:30:02,061 And then the sixth year we were in you know-- the you know the mid seven-figure range 430 00:30:02,104 --> 00:30:04,541 but with a lot more cost involved, a lot more ads. 431 00:30:04,585 --> 00:30:09,285 So now you know our goal is to get things to the million-dollar-a-month thing 432 00:30:09,329 --> 00:30:11,461 and you know that's-- that's been a lot trickier 433 00:30:11,505 --> 00:30:13,768 than getting to the first mill-- million a year. 434 00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,597 I want the money you know I'm saying? I ain't saying like I'll do anything for the money. 435 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,339 I'm just saying I got a family to feed. I got kids. 436 00:30:19,382 --> 00:30:22,168 So I'd appreciate everybody that fuck with me and follow me and shit 437 00:30:22,211 --> 00:30:24,953 but you know what? I need dinerotoo. 438 00:30:26,563 --> 00:30:30,916 How "On Baby" came about was see "On baby" was like something that we said 439 00:30:30,959 --> 00:30:35,834 in my hood but not like "On baby" was something-- a saying that we said in my neighborhood. 440 00:30:35,877 --> 00:30:39,359 On baby you do your thing. On baby, how you feeling boy? 441 00:30:39,402 --> 00:30:41,752 And I just said it on my videos like-- 442 00:30:41,796 --> 00:30:46,888 like perfect-- like accidentally but it was just like a habit to me I always saying it. 443 00:30:46,932 --> 00:30:49,586 And people picked up on it. So what I did was I took "On Baby" 444 00:30:50,544 --> 00:30:52,372 and turned it into a real brand. 445 00:30:52,415 --> 00:30:56,289 Now I own "On Baby." I trademarked it. I own that. 446 00:30:57,420 --> 00:31:00,815 And that's dope, you know what I'm saying? I took something that was-- 447 00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:04,210 I took something that was from my community, from my neighborhood 448 00:31:04,253 --> 00:31:09,563 and turned it into a fucking brand, a fucking enterprise, man 'cause that is what is gonna be. 449 00:31:09,606 --> 00:31:11,304 That's what it's gonna turn into-- 450 00:31:13,001 --> 00:31:15,264 On baby. 451 00:31:15,308 --> 00:31:18,789 [Bonang] The opportunities are incredible, that's what I love particularly about social media 452 00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:23,011 is that we are now creating an era of social media entrepreneurs. 453 00:31:23,055 --> 00:31:27,146 And there are so, so, so many things that are possible. 454 00:31:27,189 --> 00:31:31,280 And every day it's wonderful to watch how the world is changing 455 00:31:31,324 --> 00:31:36,982 and it's fascinating to kind of be right there, you know, the pulse of it all is exciting. 456 00:31:37,025 --> 00:31:41,203 I love the ability that people will have created a business 457 00:31:41,247 --> 00:31:44,163 and some people have created incredible businesses 458 00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:48,123 from not really having some type of tertiary education 459 00:31:48,167 --> 00:31:54,608 or any skill set but just being interesting in some way. And social media is-- 460 00:31:54,651 --> 00:31:57,785 is all about that you know. It's interesting to be interested in other people. 461 00:31:57,828 --> 00:32:01,049 -Yeah. -So when others see someone liking or commenting 462 00:32:01,093 --> 00:32:04,400 on somebody else's page or advertisement, 463 00:32:04,444 --> 00:32:06,620 you know, they're then driven to that-- it's, 464 00:32:06,663 --> 00:32:12,843 it's just a phenomenal medium of advertising and then monetizing their own businesses. 465 00:32:15,455 --> 00:32:20,025 You get likeaholics, people who are absolutely addicted to get more likes, 466 00:32:20,068 --> 00:32:22,114 to get more followers and more friends. 467 00:32:22,157 --> 00:32:25,291 And a big portion of that is because they think their value 468 00:32:25,334 --> 00:32:27,336 is determined by what is being said online 469 00:32:27,380 --> 00:32:29,469 and by the amount of followers you have. 470 00:32:29,512 --> 00:32:33,473 When we first started and also presently as we post, 471 00:32:33,516 --> 00:32:37,999 I'm constantly hitting that refresh button to see how many likes it'll go 472 00:32:38,043 --> 00:32:40,001 after five seconds, after ten seconds. 473 00:32:40,045 --> 00:32:44,397 I refresh it all the time. As soon as I put up a picture, you know. 474 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,792 I can always tell after about three and a half minutes, 475 00:32:48,836 --> 00:32:51,621 how good it's going to be for the rest of the day. 476 00:32:51,665 --> 00:32:57,192 When someone receives a lot of likes, it's literally like a quick hit you know. 477 00:32:57,236 --> 00:33:02,067 It is akin to taking a drug, getting high 478 00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:07,202 and then you know there's a withdrawal effect, so you might get a rush for eight seconds 479 00:33:07,246 --> 00:33:10,205 and then you sort of drop below baseline. 480 00:33:10,249 --> 00:33:16,429 The reality is with social media we get that rush and that feeling of, you know being high 481 00:33:16,472 --> 00:33:19,649 and it wears off and then we want to go back. 482 00:33:19,693 --> 00:33:25,003 If we're not careful and if we don't manage it carefully, it could become an addiction 483 00:33:25,046 --> 00:33:29,094 where we just want to get that feeling and it takes longer to get there. 484 00:33:30,791 --> 00:33:36,710 In long-term social media use we've found people displaying brain changes 485 00:33:36,753 --> 00:33:38,407 especially in their dopamine circuit, 486 00:33:38,451 --> 00:33:42,324 very similar to especially cocaine users. 487 00:33:43,369 --> 00:33:45,414 As we know, cocaine and crystal meth 488 00:33:45,458 --> 00:33:51,420 they-- they directly influence how the brain functions in terms of 489 00:33:51,464 --> 00:33:57,470 their dopamine release and in terms of how dopamine receptors undergo down regulation. 490 00:33:57,513 --> 00:34:01,082 Dopamine, of course, is very involved in addiction. 491 00:34:01,126 --> 00:34:07,306 We know for years that dopamine has a lot to do with feeling good. 492 00:34:07,349 --> 00:34:09,612 It has a lot of other functions in the brain, 493 00:34:09,656 --> 00:34:15,270 it's a normal transport chemical, but dopamine certainly has been shown 494 00:34:15,314 --> 00:34:20,145 in various studies to increase when you're involved in social media. 495 00:34:20,188 --> 00:34:24,932 I think Instagram is a massive addiction. It's been shown that every time you post a photo, 496 00:34:24,975 --> 00:34:26,890 you get some likes it's like you got this dopamine spike. 497 00:34:26,934 --> 00:34:29,023 It feels good, you keep checking and keep tracking it. 498 00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:32,592 Procrastination is probably its highest ever because 50 years ago 499 00:34:32,635 --> 00:34:34,855 what are you going to procrastinate on?

549 00:37:35,165 --> 00:37:36,384 Yeah. 550 00:37:36,428 --> 00:37:38,256 I mean I am guilty of that, you know. 551 00:37:38,299 --> 00:37:40,606 It's almost like if you don't show the people who aren't with you 552 00:37:40,649 --> 00:37:43,391 how much fun you have then you're actually not having fun. 553 00:37:43,435 --> 00:37:46,612 I mean what's the point of having fun if you can't share it with people? 554 00:37:46,655 --> 00:37:51,269 I just did a piece for a major network on something called phubbing 555 00:37:52,531 --> 00:37:56,622 where people take out their cell phones when they're in the company of others, 556 00:37:56,665 --> 00:38:01,409 ignore the people they're alive with and at the same time are on Facebook 557 00:38:01,453 --> 00:38:07,720 or Instagram or taking pictures of their food, etc. So we have a need not to be bored. 558 00:38:08,808 --> 00:38:13,334 I guess Andy Warhol said it best, "Everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame." 559 00:38:13,378 --> 00:38:19,297 And somehow this is a-- a kind of gratuitous way 560 00:38:19,340 --> 00:38:21,516 of getting your 15 minutes of fame. 561 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:28,828 It is inhibiting people's ability to create a strong and powerful positive memory. 562 00:38:28,871 --> 00:38:32,440 You know, creating a good memory requires a certain flow. 563 00:38:32,484 --> 00:38:36,749 It requires perspective. It requires being present in the moment 564 00:38:36,792 --> 00:38:40,840 and when you're looking at your phone to check social media 565 00:38:40,883 --> 00:38:44,800 to figure out what you're going to post to take 27 selfies 566 00:38:44,844 --> 00:38:46,367 to try to get the right one, 567 00:38:46,411 --> 00:38:50,458 to be snapping 30 different angles of your salmon 568 00:38:50,502 --> 00:38:55,811 is certainly ruining your experience of the moment. 569 00:38:58,161 --> 00:39:02,644 One of its biggest negative effects is that it's, essentially, ruining our ability 570 00:39:02,688 --> 00:39:05,604 to create memories that we hold on to. 571 00:39:05,647 --> 00:39:11,131 The inventors-- creators, you know and it's, it's me, it's Mark, 572 00:39:11,174 --> 00:39:15,178 it's the you know Kevin Systrom and Instagram, it's all of these people, 573 00:39:15,222 --> 00:39:21,881 understood this consciously and we did it anyway. 574 00:39:21,924 --> 00:39:27,713 And I'm and-- and it's just as a small company you think "Aw this, will never really..." 575 00:39:27,756 --> 00:39:30,933 You know, you're just you're just trying to increase your-- 576 00:39:30,977 --> 00:39:33,196 you know, you're just trying to increase your traffic. 577 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:37,853 You're just trying to increase retention, you know like you're, you're-- you-- you're. 578 00:39:37,897 --> 00:39:43,250 You can't imagine what it would mean to have a billion users 579 00:39:43,293 --> 00:39:48,081 who are spending four hours a day on your platform. 580 00:39:48,124 --> 00:39:50,344 Like what is that doing to people's brains? 581 00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:55,218 I mean I-- I'm I actually don't even use social media anymore 582 00:39:56,306 --> 00:40:00,833 because it's, it's like-- it's too much of-- it it's too much of a time sink. 583 00:40:00,876 --> 00:40:05,794 The latest research is telling us that people are spending hours to an average 584 00:40:05,838 --> 00:40:09,407 of 19 and a half hours in front of screens. 585 00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:11,321 It's astounding. 586 00:40:11,365 --> 00:40:16,501 We can expect people being conditioned 587 00:40:16,544 --> 00:40:21,636 to experience such as the new normal. What that means is 588 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:22,637 when I'm not 589 00:40:24,378 --> 00:40:31,211 around my phone, when I forget my phone at home, go into work 590 00:40:31,254 --> 00:40:35,694 that would create some psychological and perhaps physical withdrawal 591 00:40:35,737 --> 00:40:37,173 in me. 592 00:40:37,217 --> 00:40:42,962 I become a creature needing that phone to survive. 593 00:40:43,005 --> 00:40:45,094 If you took your phone away how long could you survive? 594 00:40:45,138 --> 00:40:49,229 Honestly? Yeah, maybe four and a half minutes. 595 00:40:49,272 --> 00:40:50,622 Yeah, I can't do it. 596 00:40:50,665 --> 00:40:54,974 If we're really trying my luck, like testing me, 597 00:40:56,323 --> 00:40:57,890 maybe like 14 minutes. 598 00:40:57,933 --> 00:41:00,762 I'm worried about social media in the future. I think it's, 599 00:41:00,806 --> 00:41:06,420 I think it's bringing us actually away from each other. Isn't that ironic? 600 00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:10,729 You see two kids and each one is on their cell phone not talking to each other 601 00:41:10,772 --> 00:41:15,908 but, yet, I believe that I may not be here to see it but I believe 602 00:41:15,951 --> 00:41:21,217 that social media will actually eventually make us strangers. 603 00:41:29,443 --> 00:41:33,403 There's the downside of losing personal contact with people around you, 604 00:41:33,447 --> 00:41:35,405 not taking phone calls as much. 605 00:41:35,449 --> 00:41:36,798 -Texting instead of-- -Right. 606 00:41:36,842 --> 00:41:39,279 Or messaging and things like that, you know. 607 00:41:39,322 --> 00:41:44,458 It's interesting, the younger generations I feel like you call them and they're like, 608 00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:46,460 "I'm not picking that up. What do you mean like you're calling me?" 609 00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:48,157 I don't answer phone calls. 610 00:41:48,201 --> 00:41:51,247 I know. I barely answer phone calls now because it's all email. 611 00:41:51,291 --> 00:41:54,860 It's all direct messaging and it's also quick contact. 612 00:41:54,903 --> 00:41:58,298 The big danger are these 11-year-olds that are getting their smartphones, 613 00:41:58,341 --> 00:42:00,822 their Instagram because they're at such a vulnerable age. 614 00:42:00,866 --> 00:42:04,217 I couldn't imagine dealing with all that stuff at eleven, twelve. 615 00:42:04,260 --> 00:42:07,307 And they are going to be the most affected 616 00:42:07,350 --> 00:42:10,658 because they're not having those real genuine, you know connections 617 00:42:10,702 --> 00:42:12,617 whether they're with their friends, their phones are- 618 00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:15,358 because they don't have at eleven, twelve, they don't-- they don't know 619 00:42:15,402 --> 00:42:18,710 not to put their phones away, just hang out with their friends and be present. 620 00:42:18,753 --> 00:42:21,887 So they're going to be on their phones all the time and it's going to-- it's going to-- 621 00:42:21,930 --> 00:42:24,063 they're going to socialize probably a lot differently. 622 00:42:35,422 --> 00:42:39,078 Addiction is that thing that is grabbing your attention 623 00:42:39,121 --> 00:42:41,994 and that you are actually abusing to an extent. 624 00:42:42,037 --> 00:42:46,302 So people think social media can't be or your digital platforms can't be. 625 00:42:46,346 --> 00:42:48,827 But the question is if you wake up, 626 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:51,873 who do you greet first, your phone or the person next to you? 627 00:42:51,917 --> 00:42:53,962 What do you want to see first? 628 00:42:54,006 --> 00:42:57,357 Who do you check in first? Is it on Instagram or social platforms or do you say, 629 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,663 "Hello honey, good morning." 630 00:42:58,706 --> 00:43:00,752 Your first 10 minutes when you wake up? 631 00:43:00,795 --> 00:43:02,928 Where do I go? What do I do? 632 00:43:02,971 --> 00:43:04,451 Your phone is still... 633 00:43:04,494 --> 00:43:07,759 Yeah I go to Twitter first and then I go to Instagram. 634 00:43:07,802 --> 00:43:09,499 And then I go to use 24. 635 00:43:11,545 --> 00:43:14,983 And then I go to then I go to TMZ and then I go to the Shade Room. 636 00:43:16,028 --> 00:43:21,555 And then I go to Fashion Bomb Baby. Yeah, then I go back to Twitter. 637 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:25,080 Any addiction becomes a problem when it impacts your daily life, 638 00:43:25,124 --> 00:43:28,344 your priorities, and especially your relationships. 639 00:43:28,388 --> 00:43:35,090 I think it's very important that we learn to navigate our digital and our physical relationships 640 00:43:35,134 --> 00:43:41,053 and look at the bridge in between, the bridge of trust, the bridge of authenticity, 641 00:43:41,096 --> 00:43:46,493 the bridge of really being present in the moment. 642 00:43:46,536 --> 00:43:50,540 Yes, you can do those things online but when last did you call a friend? 643 00:43:50,584 --> 00:43:54,893 When last did you actually call your friend on a birthday, instead of just saying 644 00:43:54,936 --> 00:43:58,505 happy birthday on Facebook or sending a WhatsApp or a voice note? 645 00:43:58,548 --> 00:44:01,639 No one's teaching you how to use this responsibly. It's like drinking, for example. 646 00:44:01,682 --> 00:44:03,684 You know, you can go into the bar and have a few drinks 647 00:44:03,728 --> 00:44:06,121 but if you're binge drinking every day that's a problem. 648 00:44:06,165 --> 00:44:09,908 And so right now most kids, most teenagers and even 20-something-year-olds, 649 00:44:09,951 --> 00:44:13,651 they're binging on Instagram all day and it's going to affect them. 650 00:44:13,694 --> 00:44:19,221 I find when I am on my iPhone that my finger automatically goes to Instagram. 651 00:44:19,265 --> 00:44:23,399 So I have officially logged myself out so I'm not constantly on it 24/7 652 00:44:23,443 --> 00:44:26,315 but I'm constantly opening up Instagram all day, it's really pathetic. 653 00:44:26,359 --> 00:44:30,885 I'm on my phone too much and Instagram is one of the most common things I'm on. 654 00:44:30,929 --> 00:44:33,279 I think that I am addicted to social media, yes. 655 00:44:33,322 --> 00:44:36,064 I would agree. I think I am pretty addicted to social media. 656 00:44:36,108 --> 00:44:41,896 I think in a couple of years, you know young people are going to start going to 657 00:44:41,940 --> 00:44:45,552 you know, I think focus groups where they're either depressed 658 00:44:45,595 --> 00:44:49,948 or they've been, you know, bullied or social media 659 00:44:49,991 --> 00:44:53,342 has had an impact on them or they are addicted so much so 660 00:44:53,386 --> 00:44:57,042 that it's becoming you know, leading to depression or whatever. 661 00:44:57,085 --> 00:45:02,351 But it's scary and it's definitely, definitely leading there, if it's not there yet. 662 00:45:02,395 --> 00:45:09,097 I think we're going to find proliferation of addiction treatment, addiction centers, 663 00:45:09,141 --> 00:45:15,147 programs, initiatives aimed at helping our society deal with such a big problem. 664 00:45:15,190 --> 00:45:19,281 And it's something that will have to be addressed and-- and take priority 665 00:45:19,325 --> 00:45:23,895 and probably just as much or if not more than alcohol abuse, drug abuse. 666 00:45:23,938 --> 00:45:28,943 I mean it's really taking over people's lives and I think we're just beginning 667 00:45:28,987 --> 00:45:32,599 to understand the effects of social media on our psyche. 668 00:45:32,642 --> 00:45:34,819 One way to tell whether someone's addicted 669 00:45:34,862 --> 00:45:39,214 to their social media platform, I look at three issues. 670 00:45:39,258 --> 00:45:43,741 The first is control whether I have control over my social media use 671 00:45:43,784 --> 00:45:48,789 or if my social media account seems to have control over me rather, that's the first. 672 00:45:48,833 --> 00:45:52,097 The second, another C word, is compulsion. 673 00:45:52,140 --> 00:45:54,882 For example, if in my conversation with you right now, 674 00:45:54,926 --> 00:45:59,191 if in the back of my head I'm thinking about that photo I uploaded to Facebook 675 00:45:59,234 --> 00:46:04,065 two hours ago and wondering if it's accumulating likes the way I'd like it to, 676 00:46:04,109 --> 00:46:06,372 I'm not really here in the conversation with you, 677 00:46:06,415 --> 00:46:10,724 then that's compulsion and I've got a problem to look at. 678 00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:17,383 The third C is consequences. If the way I engage on my-- with people 679 00:46:17,426 --> 00:46:20,168 with the outside world through my social media accounts 680 00:46:21,387 --> 00:46:25,826 have already brought on negative consequences in my life 681 00:46:25,870 --> 00:46:28,829 but despite those negative consequences I continue to maintain 682 00:46:28,873 --> 00:46:31,005 that similar pattern then I've got a problem. 683 00:46:31,049 --> 00:46:36,054 Your happiness has to do a lot with your expectations and what social media 684 00:46:36,097 --> 00:46:40,667 is doing is it's creating a huge and growing discrepancy 685 00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:44,758 between what you think your life should be like and what it's actually like. 686 00:46:44,802 --> 00:46:51,112 And this is a problem because when you're checking your phone 47 times in a day 687 00:46:51,156 --> 00:46:53,941 and seeing all these perfect images, 688 00:46:53,985 --> 00:46:56,552 when you're seeing people do what you wish you can do, 689 00:46:56,596 --> 00:46:59,164 having the wealth you want, having the body you want, 690 00:46:59,207 --> 00:47:01,253 having the relationship you want, 691 00:47:01,296 --> 00:47:03,951 it's, essentially, you know, gonna make you miserable 692 00:47:03,995 --> 00:47:06,824 if you believe you should have these things. 693 00:47:06,867 --> 00:47:09,914 And the big joke is that these things aren't even real. 694 00:47:09,957 --> 00:47:13,831 They're just somebody else's fantasy of what they want other people to think their life is. 695 00:47:13,874 --> 00:47:16,007 So you're, essentially, feeling miserable 696 00:47:16,050 --> 00:47:20,315 because you viewed somebody else's fantasy, somebody else's lie. 697 00:47:20,359 --> 00:47:24,493 It creates a false sense of realism, virtual reality, yes. 698 00:47:24,537 --> 00:47:28,410 But it's, it's gotten so real and it's not just what's real in-- 699 00:47:28,454 --> 00:47:33,676 what's real for the sight of the eyes, it's what's real for the person's experience. 700 00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:40,292 And when that becomes something so real that outmatches what's in reality, 701 00:47:41,946 --> 00:47:46,254 we may-- we may condition ourselves into the default mode 702 00:47:46,298 --> 00:47:50,693 of choosing virtual reality over reality on a consistent basis 703 00:47:50,737 --> 00:47:54,915 and we know that's a recipe of destruction for real-life relationships. 704 00:47:54,959 --> 00:47:58,092 There is something about the world of social media 705 00:47:58,136 --> 00:48:03,924 that I think can lead to a sense that one is performing their self. 706 00:48:03,968 --> 00:48:09,495 So whether that performance is the true self or the authentic self or a self 707 00:48:09,538 --> 00:48:12,890 that is put into the public sphere for consumption, 708 00:48:14,282 --> 00:48:17,155 you know that's something I think that's been going on for a very long time. 709 00:48:17,198 --> 00:48:23,422 So word got out that I was in L.A. and I kinda have a popular Instagram. 710 00:48:23,465 --> 00:48:25,424 And a lot of people like me surprisingly 711 00:48:25,467 --> 00:48:29,602 because I'm a terror, like literally terror, terror. 712 00:48:29,645 --> 00:48:35,129 And you know the Tasmanian Devil, when I'm fucked up on Boov poppers, 713 00:48:35,173 --> 00:48:40,526 casaamigos, those are the only three things that are ever in my body besides cum. 714 00:48:40,569 --> 00:48:44,530 So life is very short, so why not just get fucking naked-- 715 00:48:49,970 --> 00:48:51,972 Welcome to yougotnomale. 716 00:48:52,016 --> 00:48:56,237 Social media makes people 717 00:48:56,281 --> 00:49:01,939 retreat to their devices when they're in need of withdrawal. 718 00:49:01,982 --> 00:49:05,681 When they can't handle reality they switch their attention over 719 00:49:05,725 --> 00:49:08,815 to this you know little rewarding world of social media 720 00:49:08,858 --> 00:49:14,038 and I believe that might be kind of the same model for the drug user. 721 00:49:14,081 --> 00:49:17,780 So my favorite drug in the world is which is not even a drug, 722 00:49:17,824 --> 00:49:21,523 it's legit legal called

I've-- I know how to breathe 725 00:49:32,621 --> 00:49:40,020 because I love yoga so I don't have to take these but if you want to do them recreationally 726 00:49:40,064 --> 00:49:44,807 it
