GMMore 2657: Reacting To Our Screen Time

Welcome to Good Mythical More than you bargained for. We’re celebrating 40 years of friendship next week and we just renewed our vows. I never, I just, I’ve never felt so renewed in our friendship as when I kissed Elvis. I’m glad you did that for us. I kissed him real hard by accident. Like, like I didn’t, I didn’t just, I, for some reason I like grabbed his. Did feel jaw? Did you feel teeth? I could feel individual teeth on my lips through his cheek. I don’t know why I was pushing so hard. He’s probably bleeding on the inside of his mouth right now. I aggressively kissed Elvis. Can you smell it on me? Can you smell Elvis? Smell like Priscilla. The, I just love how, I think he was so into it that, did you, how far did he have to walk to get to, where did you guys start him? He was huffing and puffing. Not as far as you would think. No, I think that’s part of the old Elvis impersonation. He was very breathy. It is, Elvis is always, catching his breath. Let’s continue the celebration by giving Clara-Rā, Clara-Rā sporting that Mythical merch out in the wild. You know what we’re gonna do? We’re gonna give you $100 to mythical.com. Yes, we are upping the ante. $100. I love it. B-Y-M-B. A gift card to mythical.com so you can keep getting that merch. Let’s bring in some crew members, to wrap up this summer. And we are going to invasively critique their official screen time. So this is, usually, I guess, your phone lets you. Let’s see, it gives you your daily average of how much time you spent on your phone, and then it gives you your most used apps, and then the amount of time total over the course of the week. You can do daily average or weekly average as well, you can look at either of those. And so all of you were willing to volunteer for this, so there was at least nothing that you were like, oh I’m gonna be really embarrassed about this. You feel like you’re in the normal range, it feels like. Davin refused to share his data with us. You think he’s like, like this first person, daily average 6 hours 10 minutes on your phone. You think Davin’s like way above that? I don’t know what his reasons were. It might be the apps that he used. Okay. I don’t know if I’m in the average. I just feel like I’ve been here long enough that I don’t care being embarrassed. Right. Right. Well, over six hours a day, on the, on your phone, the number one is Instagram, the number two is TikTok, number three is Slack, which is work. Work, instant message. Then Facebook. Then Safari, then YouTube, then Messages. So this is Instagram over TikTok. So how many total hours are we talking about on average? Seven hours, fourteen minutes on Instagram. Six, almost seven hours. Six hours, fifty two minutes on TikTok. And that’s in a week. So that’s in a week. Because the average daily is six hours and ten minutes. But the data only goes through Thursday. Saturday to, Sunday to Thursday here, so. Either they didn’t get on their phone at all Friday or Saturday or it’s just, this is five days of data. So who’s into TikTok, but still into Instagram a little bit more. Very even, and doesn’t, doesn’t do anything else. It’s only social media stuff. They do nothing else. It’s like very, I mean, Instagram, Tiktok, Slack, Facebook, Safari, Youtube, Messages, Twitter, it’s like, this is. This is just, I’m not gonna say basic, but I’m gonna say this is like run of the mill. I think basic is okay. Maybe this is somebody who’s, like, this is kind of like me, but mine would be Reddit. There would be no Facebook. This is an older person. Yep. Who doesn’t know that there are other apps that you can use on your phone. But younger than you? Well, the oldest of the. But TikTok up there too. You know, you think Carney’s on TikTok at all? Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Why wouldn’t he be? He’s gotta see what’s going on. You think he’s on Facebook two hours a week? You gotta post those, those toddler photos. I call it Meta, but sure. Yeah, yeah, he calls it Meta. I think, I don’t think anybody else will show up on Facebook, because he’s gotta, he’s gotta share the kid with the family. Okay, I’m pretty confused. All right, well, first of all, we’re talking a pretty low daily average. Three hours and thirty-one minutes, okay? And it went down, oh yeah. And this is twenty-two percent down from last week, but. What? Hey, and how many days is, was measured? On the bar chart. A week, well. Seven? Friday, it looks like it was done on a Friday, so it was Sunday through this particular Friday. Yep, okay. The thing that is striking besides what I think is a pretty low screen time. It’s really low. Really low. Is the number one app, by a long shot, 7 hours and 12 minutes. Is something called Nanit. Spell that. N-A-N-I-T. Nanit. Nanit? Nanit? Does anyone know what that is? Is it a knitting app? I produce things we do. So I know what that is. So I think if you were to reveal what that was, it may tell you more than you should know. It sounds like another word. Yeah. It does sound like another word. Is this a camera that’s on your baby? Like a nanny. Carney’s saying that it’s work related. It’s a work related app. No, he’s saying that he knows about it because of work. This person also spends an hour and a half on NYT Games. That’s pretty Millennial. New York Times? What is NYT? Like, so like crossword puzzles? Never. No Instagram, no TikTok at all. We’re, Safari is after Nanit. We got Reddit, NYT Games, Messages, Slack, and YouTube. NYT. I think this is an app that Carney is looking at to check on the baby. Because you know, they both work and they just leave the baby at home to fend for itself. And it’s cared for by a robot. Nanny IT. It’s spying on the nanny. It is a robot. Could it be a pet cam? I just know that Hitch has a dog. So, that. Yeah, that’s true. That’s true. That’s true. But you’re not, you’re not on your phone. You’re in front of your computer a lot. I think this is right. Yeah, he is on his computer. Three hours on your phone. So then. Okay, so then this is the basic social media thing. We’re gonna come back to that. This might be Chase. Instagram and TikTok of equal parts. That feels pretty Chase. I’m equal parts. Daily average 10 hours 15 minutes. On the phone. Houston, we. This person, this person has a TikTok problem. Oh, no! How bad is it? Oh, in five days, twelve and a half hours on TikTok. Oh, wow. That’s a lot of TikTok. And then Slack, six hours on Slack. That’s like you fell asleep with TikTok playing the whole time. Is somebody cutting their nails over there? Yeah? I broke a nail, I’m sorry. I had to. If you thought you were being discreet. Katrina, we’re doing a show over here. She’s doing it over food you’re about to eat. No, it’s not over here, I’m over here. Yeah, you are. There is food that, over there. Oh yeah, cause I gotta do a song for Link. I have to do the. Bring that in so we don’t get more nail clippings on it. Gross. And you’re doing it over your laptop. All your nails are gonna get in the keyboard. Guys, it was one little. And now, yeah look, and your nails are the same color as the sprinkles. I don’t know. I’ve absolutely fed you my nails before. You shouldn’t be this weirded out. Yeah, I’m okay with that. Yeah, but we sold tickets to that, didn’t we? I was thinking of something different. But yeah. A restaurant birthday song, I really think that there’s probably a place that needs to just do it with H-B-D. H-B-D. H-H-B-B-D! – H-H-B-B-D! – Come on guys, join in! H-B. The manager’s teaching you the song. B-D. H-B-D. H-B-D. H-H-B-B-D. H-B-D. H-B-D. Happy, happy birth, birth day, day, Link! Alright, there we go. So, thank you. It doesn’t look like cake. I’m gonna eat some from the middle, where there’s no chance of Katrina’s DNA being in it. That’s her H-B-D DNA. Yeah. That’s pretty good. NYT? NYT Games. Nothing, nothing strange here other than so much TikTok. Okay. So much TikTok. Who’s on TikTok that much? I don’t really know. I don’t, I don’t know. We’re might have to move these around. I mean, I, you know. I’ve never seen. Let’s see. I haven’t seen Hitch on. Hitch has, the watch though. The TikTok watch. Does that count? Does that count towards your, your screen time on your iPhone? The iPhone Watch? The iWatch. Well, what can you, what do you do on it? That’s what I’m asking. Can you do TikTok on your watch? No. No. Of course not. Google Maps. Google Maps over Gmail on that. Google Maps. Yeah, or. Hitch looks lost around the office. Yeah, right, that’s true. Where you going, Hitch? I think with, not a lot of information. I think this might be Tally. You know, because I feel like when you’re listening to something you can also be watching something. You know what I’m saying? What? So, as a sound person. Okay. I feel like, you’re just, I mean, if I was a sound person I would always be doing something else while I’m listening because you’ve still got everything else. You got your eyes and you gotta, you gotta look at something. So you think Tally’s over there doing, doing her job, but watching TikTok on mute. Watching TikTok while listening to us. Yep. You’re not 100 percent incorrect actually. I do that actually a lot. Not necessarily TikTok, but like I always have to have something auditorial happening while I’m doing other things. See? Yeah, but when you’re doing your job. Oh, I’m not talking about, oh, no, no. Well, I mean, 10 hours is not, I mean, it’s not that much. Ever be distracted at work. So, I’m, I mean, I think we give this to Tally. I was gonna give this one to Tally just based on, like, the low average. I thought Tally would be the type of person, well, I’ll speak directly to you, Tally. Thank you. I thought you would be the type of person that, like, you know what? I can go without a phone. Yeah. I can go into the wilderness. I can go into the grocery store. I can have relationships in person. Yeah. I don’t need a phone. Yeah. I bet you you could be that person. I could totally be that person. But if we’re right, you’re the exact opposite of that person. That’s true. That’s a lot of Google Mapping though. A lot of Google Mapping Tally, there’s two wolves inside you. Yeah. Okay, we’re back to what is probably considered an average amount, right? Seven hours and six minutes But, we are at 16 hours and 8 minutes of TikTok. That’s even more. That’s a whole lot of TikTok. We’re at 3 hours and 41 minutes of Gems of War. And we are notably, notably, at 41 minutes at, thecookiedoughdiaries.com What is that? thecookiedoughdiaries.com Chase, tell us about it. I’m gonna find out right now. I mean, I feel like it’s relatively self-explanatory. Alright, so, is this when you try cookie doughs and you like write what you think of them? And how do I, how do I find my screen time? I just saw that you’re not ad free on TikTok. Scroll down a little bit. Simple and delicious desserts. Welcome to the world of all things sweet. All the recipes here are dairy-free. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Dairy-free. And also have been tested with dairy ingredients, so there’s something for everyone. So somebody who likes dairy-free sweets. Well, likes to make them. Spending a lot of time there. Or maybe it was just one day and you really tried real hard on one recipe. Cause it was 41 minutes. I’m looking at my screen time at the same time. Five and a half hours on average. I’m, my most used app is Spotify. Eight hours, eight and a half hours. And then Messages is my next one. Then Safari. Then Google Keep. Like, just taking notes. I am so boring. Like, my phone is nothing to me. Except for a jukebox and a, an instant messenger. And a notepad. And then it’s, after Google Keep, it’s Instagram for two hours, then it’s two and a half hours, then it’s Reddit for two hours, then it’s Gmail for two hours, then it’s Docs for an hour, then it’s Remote. My television remote. See, this is what an old person’s. Your remote? On your phone? Yes. And then Google Maps. What was your average? Five and a half hours. Yeah, mine’s five fourteen, so we’re right in line. But I actually, because I’ve been, I was weaning myself off of TikTok, my Instagram went up to seven hours. But because I brought TikTok back in last week, it creeped up to three and a half hours. YouTube. – Tiktok’s not even. – Over two hours. Really? Yeah. I went away from TikTok when you said you weren’t using it, and I was like, well, I’ll do that too. Cause, you know, that’s what, that’s how I do things. Yeah. I go back, you know, two weeks ago and wow. Same average basically under six hours, like five fifty-one, and that week. My most used was YouTube, eight and a half hours. And then Instagram and no TikTok, cause I was off. You always find a way to fill that time, don’t you? Yep. So we got to give this one to somebody, the cookie dough. Who do you think that is? I don’t know who, first of all, there’s not, it doesn’t necessarily mean dairy-free, but it is dairy-free. That is one of the notable things, so. That’s not Hitch. Must be Tally. Hitch is very dairy? Pro dairy. We love dairy. How do you know that? Because you’re sipping on milk. When? When have you seen me do that? Alright! Hitch is dairy-free! I’m sorry I didn’t know! I don’t know. I don’t remember seeing you avoid dairy. Alright, so let’s find out if we’re right. Tally, we’re saying that you have a phone problem and a TikTok problem. Is this you? No, this is not me. Okay. Can you please find yours? Gems of War, Cookie Dough Diaries. I do have a TikTok problem. I do have a TikTok problem. Yes, 100%. But what is, the Cookie Dough Diaries to you? Well, it’s exactly, yeah, exactly what we’re talking about. Dairy-free cookies? Yeah. Because you’re dairy-free? No. My boyfriend is. Yeah. But, yeah, I was making cookies this past week. Gems of War, what is the strategy there? Oh my god, Gems of War is the best game ever, actually. Not a sponsor, you gotta say that. Not a sponsor! Alright. Um, but it’s like a match three game. But there’s like an added element to, like, getting, like, monsters and, like, fun characters and stuff like that, but then fight each other while you’re doing the match three to like make them more stronger, and then they fight each other and. So like, it’s like advanced Candy Crush? Yeah, exactly. Okay. And you can be in a guild and like you get like to like put money into the guild and stuff, and then they give you. That’s pretty time consuming. Yeah 3 and, at 41 minutes. 3 hours and 41 minutes. Yeah, right. Oh, yeah. But in like a week. That’s about. Five days I’ll get my numbers up – Okay. -So, who has the? Who has the total, the highest total? Hitch, is this you? It is. Yeah, Hitch! Sipping on milk, playing. That’s right. You’re not dairy-free. No. See? See? But when have you seen me drink milk? Or like? Yeah, good question. I don’t know. Even eat dairy. In my dreams, Hitch. Okay. Wow, okay. Fair enough. I watch a lot of TikTok at night. That’s what that is. Yeah, right. Milk-tok, right? Yeah. No, water-tok. I know this is you. I hate milk. I know we’re right about this with you. Well? Lowest number, the, the weird app, Nanit, Nanny, IT, or whatever. That’s you. NYT Games? Yeah, that’s you. You do crossword puzzles. I do hell of a lot of crossword puzzles. And I watch this, yeah, Nanit is the baby monitor app. Yeah! When you’re sleeping. – Yeah. – You watch the baby when sleeping? Well, I keep the app open while she’s taking naps and stuff. So it’s like, live in the background, you know? Yes. Alright. Yeah, you’re, you’re too busy to use your phone. I’m, a lot of, like, all the stuff that you don’t see on here is on my, like, on my computer. Yeah. I do, like, desktop, desktop TikTok. Desktop TikTok. Oh, really? Yeah. Just. That’s even, that’s a thing, huh? It’s not great, but. It’s, the swiping is harder. Yeah. And the Facebook we had you nailed. I don’t do Facebook. Oh, no, that’s, so did Chase? Why are you doing Facebook? I started doing Facebook when we were on tour. I was like, I thought it was really interesting to check the marketplace for like each stop that we were at to see like what people were like, oh, this is what i’m getting rid of. This is what’s in my house. You tried to buy crap from people? I was looking, I was looking for a Nintendo Switch dock for us to put in the bus, for the entire time and then finally we found out that Dylan had a Switch dock. So, we tried to use it, then we couldn’t figure out how to like plug it in because all the ports were sealed and. A lot of tech issues Yeah. And we put Dylan on the other bus. But then I just like found myself, like, on Facebook Marketplace often being like, oh, do they have a Volkswagen bus for sale? Do they have a whatever? I don’t know. And then it carried over into being back here. Now I still. Marketplace aspect of it. I’m still, yeah, I do that. I do like the buy nothing stuff. But Instagram over TikTok, but pretty even? Instagram. Yeah. My sister pulls me in. Cause she sends me a lot of reels. She’s still on maternity leave. So she’ll send, when, when her baby’s asleep, it’s checking the app and then like sending me a reel and checking the app and then sending me a reel. Well, happy end of Good Mythical Summer, guys.
