Sister, we're gonna get you some help for what?
00:05
It's ok. It's ok.
00:06
I know. You know what sister?
00:09
Your, your phone addiction.
00:11
It's, it's, it's getting out of hand.
00:13
You sound like my mom.
00:16
This is just that there's a study and the evidence proves that
00:20
you might just be a fiend.
00:22
A theme. Oh,
00:23
hell no, brother.
00:24
If I'm a fiend,
00:25
then you're a junkie be because you stay on that phone all
00:28
the time. You,
00:30
you're right. You're right.
00:33
So you know what?
00:33
We're good. So look,
00:34
let me give you the,
00:35
the, the nitty gritty here.
00:36
So a doctor from the World Health organization who has proposed that
00:41
countries consider regulating smartphones similar to how cigarettes are controlled.
00:48
This recommendation aims to address increasing concerns about smartphone and social media
00:52
addiction. Oh my gosh.
00:54
They're comparing iphone addiction with big tobacco,
00:57
you know. Shit is bad brother.
01:00
Yep. Exactly, dude.
01:01
So similar to smoking laws,
01:03
they are suggesting the implementation of age limits,
01:05
controlled pricing and designated usage areas for phone use.
01:09
Is this like a freaking smoking?
01:11
Like I'm not going to lie though and I'd be like I
01:13
need my fix, bro.
01:14
Like I wake up and let me see what's going on.
01:17
So, you know,
01:19
I see it. That's right by your phone.
01:22
but you know what?
01:23
Actually let me see your phone.
01:25
Let's see. Let's compare our screen times because I feel like
01:27
you're probably going to beat me on this.
01:28
Ok. What's the passcode?
01:30
I forgot my passcode.
01:34
All right. So let's compare screen times here.
01:36
What do you got?
01:37
I got seven hours and 44 minutes,
01:39
brother. Ok. I'm also 13% down for,
01:41
let me see. Let me see.
01:46
What's yours? It's seven hours and 50 minutes.
01:49
I'm six minutes. You,
01:54
you're the bigger person.
01:56
If you go to the actual apps,
01:58
most views on mine is Instagram for nine hours.
02:01
Oh, sure. Yeah.
02:03
How about you? So I got Google Maps.
02:06
Where the fuck are you going?
02:09
Google Maps? 10 hours,
02:11
48 minutes. The commu noke.
02:18
Well, overall total screen time.
02:20
61 hours for the week.
02:25
Yeah, for the week,
02:27
61 hours. That's more than you're 62 and 36 minutes.
02:32
Oops. And then let's see messages 16 hours because the group
02:36
chats be popping sometimes and you Instagram 15 hours on Instagram.
02:42
That's a lot of memes.
02:44
What are you doing on there?
02:44
Well, brother, I work in social media so we gotta
02:47
put that into play.
02:48
True, true. So Instagram,
02:50
tiktok. All right,
02:51
sister. So as you saw our screen time is in the
02:54
sixties, 60 hours per week apparently.
02:58
The daily recommended screen time is two hours.
03:01
So like 14 hours.
03:05
I think we need to go to rehab.
03:07
Well, I think we need an intervention,
03:09
brother, I need a social media detox.
03:11
Don't need to, I need to be locked out of my
03:14
account ASAP.
