00:00Obviously, you know, people can hack and look in your cameras and that your TV is constantly
00:05listening to you and your phone's constantly listening to you.
00:08And sometimes though, they're better than I like ever would have imagined in a bad way.
00:13So I was at our, we were at our neighbor's house for dinner.
00:17And this sounds like sometimes I catch myself and feel so old, but like when you appreciate
00:22really dumb things and they have really great salt and pepper shakers, my neighbor.
00:27It's so dumb.
00:28Literally, it's so dumb.
00:30Let's just totally put this on its head.
00:32How do you know you're old?
00:34Yeah.
00:35Every time I say, wow, it's so beautiful out, like the weather.
00:40Like what?
00:41No kid is ever saying that.
00:42I ordered new tongue scrapers and I was so excited.
00:45So excited about them.
00:48Prime, prime.
00:49You got a prime.
00:50So I had mentioned to my neighbors, I said, Cynthia, I love your salt and pepper shakers.
00:59Patrick, my husband, come look at these salt and pepper shakers.
01:02They are LED light salt and pepper shakers.
01:04You turn them upside down and they just grind on their own.
01:07They just know like when they're upside down, they get, you don't have to press a button.
01:10You don't have to twist.
01:10You do nothing.
01:11Not to cast dispersions on your friends, but are they the laziest people on the planet?
01:15It was a gift.
01:16It was a gift.
01:17Their friend, I honestly, I was like, why would you ever think about this?
01:19They said it was a Christmas gift from one of our friends.
01:22I've got carpal tunnel.
01:23It's just the grinding.
01:24It's just.
01:24They're literally phenomenal salt and pepper shakers.
01:26So I told my husband some, that was it.
01:30It was the end of it, but it was a three minute conversation about these salt and pepper shakers.
01:34And I would say three days later, two days later, sponsored ad, the same exact salt and pepper shakers, the LED, no twist, no button, salt and pepper shakers.
01:46And I honestly, I screenshot it.
01:48I sent it to my husband.
01:49I was like, did you Google this?
01:51Did you look them up?
01:52He said, I swear in everything.
01:53I did not.
01:54And I didn't either.
01:55So how do you know?
01:56How do you know, Siri?
02:01Mark Zuckerberg.
02:02I know.
02:03He's the worst.
02:05He's the worst.
02:06And that's what makes me so mad because they're obviously constantly listening.
02:11They say they're not.
02:12I don't believe it.
02:14I don't either.
02:14I don't either.
02:15Right now, we just saw that Meta, Facebook's parent company, is being fined $402 million for mishandling children's private data on Instagram.
02:30Now, how about mishandling adults' private data?
02:32I know.
02:32Leave me alone sometimes.
02:34But again, I'll talk to Siri and I'll say, hey, blah, blah, blah.
02:38And she'll say, here, I found this on the web.
02:39Like, look it up for yourself.
02:41I'm like, no, you're always listening.
02:42You're always listening, except when I want you to.
02:46It's, yeah.
02:46So, the question is 702-597-1027.
02:49That creepy moment when technology just kind of overstepped its bounds just a little bit.
02:55Gross.
02:55Now, do you find it creepier?
02:56Because we use a cloud service.
02:57So, like, whenever we take a picture of our kids.
02:59I know.
02:59They know their faces.
03:00I know.
03:01They automatically categorize.
03:02And they know, oh, there's an emotional bond between these two.
03:05Let me put it to music and edit it to make you cry.
03:09And mother, wow, do they.
03:12To make you cry.
03:13Every time they get Marsha weeping.
03:16Oh.
03:17And it's edited better than I could edit it.
03:19It's brutal.
03:19Without a doubt.
03:20It's brutal.
03:20Without a doubt.
03:21It does it to the dog.
03:22It does, oh, a couple years ago, you were out hiking.
03:27Here are your pictures.
03:28Yeah.
03:28And it's like, I didn't ask you to do that.
03:30But I love when they do it.
03:31They know the picture.
03:32I know.
03:32They know the face is involved.
03:34Which, P.S., you got to take your location off of Instagram.
03:39Because it's like this new thing now.
03:41Which I think it's online at 1027VGS.com.
03:45People can find where you live.
03:46Yeah.
03:46Yeah.
03:47Stupid.
03:47Yeah.
03:48Oh, my God.
03:49I just, salt and pepper shaker.
03:52We did not Google.
03:53I didn't type salt.
03:54I didn't type pepper.
03:56Nothing.
03:57And the same exact ones.
03:59Like, it wasn't even like a different.
04:01Version, it was the exact ones.
04:04I hate Big Brother.
04:06So, I actually uninstalled the Facebook app.
04:09And I just put it back on recently.
04:10I installed it entirely.
04:11Because there's no use.
04:12I can just go to the website.
04:13Right.
04:14I don't need them online.
04:15Because you know what they do?
04:16Is they track you not just on your phone.
04:21They track you even if you're off of Facebook.
04:24Also.
04:24Even if you don't have a Facebook account, they track you.
04:27If my husband does something on his phone and we're on the same Wi-Fi,
04:30it pops up.
04:32I hate it.
04:34Legit.
04:35Like, I have this thing that just finds like all the, they call them pixels.
04:39Yeah.
04:39So, there's a pixel on the website.
04:41That's like everywhere you click, how long you click, how long you're there.
04:45We know how long you're at 1027vgs.com.
04:47I know.
04:47I know we do.
04:48And can you stay there, please?
04:50Can you stay there 20 seconds longer?
04:52Have you been creepily tracked by technology?
04:54Oddly, yes.
04:57So, super weird.
04:59Kind of the same lines of like, Amy, my girlfriend, one of our friends had this weird like geometric
05:05holographic purse.
05:07And we came over one day with it and we were just like, oh, that's a really cute purse.
05:12Like, that was it.
05:13And literally within a week, me and my other friend who were there both had the same ads
05:20for that odd purse pop up on our phone.
05:24I don't get it.
05:25Two ways that could happen.
05:26Either they're like, where that person, was it where they lived?
05:30That's where you saw it?
05:32No, it was at my house.
05:33Okay.
05:34So, it's not that.
05:34So, then they may market to people that are friends of the person that bought it.
05:42They may just do that.
05:43It's so creepy.
05:44However they do, it's so creepy.
05:46I hate it.
05:46But they still don't know who killed JonBenet Ramsey.
05:50Deep cut.
05:51Deep cut.
05:52Too soon.
05:53Too soon.
05:55Oh, my God.
