2:03:28 There's a, I'm gonna do an end of show clip which was kind of funny. It's two guys in Australia. They're, I guess, like kind of like a duo, kind of like a John C. DeBorg, Adam Curry only mainstream and they're called Hamish and Andy and they interviewed Hillary Clinton and it was actually quite funny but even funnier is at the end when the When because they just show a clip of this from a newscast when the newscasters come back and say you know Hillary is actually a warm and loving person It's just really really funny. So that'll be the end of show clip and I think we had Let me see. Did you have a boy? You bought it kind of bummed me out. I have this whole thing, which is a neo-pro We haven't talked about the demon drink
2:04:21 Yeah, let's talk about that. I do have some law and order clips that I can push off till Sunday. Okay. Which are just meme filled. It turns out that the SVU show seems to be the one filled with the most memes nowadays. They're not necessarily moving it to the LA show. But we can do that on Sunday. And they're actually very funny. They've gone after the right wing fringe. Well, there's a new report out. Which really hits, which it's, it's just called the meme report. That would have been better. And we'll have to interrupt it, but just listen to this report and of course you know and human resources who listen to this program know that if you want something in the news, if you want to get the word out, all you have to do is release a survey. Because no one ever checks, no one goes and looks at the survey. It can be a bogus survey. They're usually paid for by special interest groups and by industry groups that are trying to push something.
2:05:20 And this has everything in it. One thing I'm certain of, it is not paid for by the telecoms. A new study says hyper texting teens are much more likely to binge drink, do drugs, fight and probably have already had sex and may have had four or more partners. Okay, so that's pretty much every kid in the world. What? Every kid texts too much? Hyper texting. So if you're a hyper texter. Hyper texting kids. Wait a minute, if you're texting constantly, how do you have time for all this other stuff?
2:05:58 Well, let's find out what hyper texting is from this new study remember you and we study There are also other risks for young people who use social networking incessantly trying to be now is dr Scott Frank He's the lead researcher on the study from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine doctor So this is from Case Western University School of Medicine So I guess they got a big grant from somebody. A big grant. And let's find out about this hypertexting, John. This is amazing. Frank, great to see you this morning. You've identified these two at-risk groups. Who are hypertexters and hypernetworkers? Okay, John. Hypertexters? I can't keep a straight face when listening to this. Hypertexters and hypernetworkers. This has got to stop. This is an outrage.
2:06:48 Hypertexting is defined as 120 or more texts on a school day and hypernetworking is three or more hours spent on a social networks website on a school day. Okay, so first we had ODD and now we have your hypertexting. It's a disease now. You watch, it's a disease. 120 text messages, you know, I think it's probably the norm. I think there was a study, another study, but there was somebody did an analysis of kids that text a lot and there was like 30,000 a month was pretty typical for a lot of them. Yeah, but a lot of these, what's the difference between sending a tweet or a Facebook message, a status message? It's easy to do 100 a day. And three hours a day on the Facebook is like a lot of people... Nothing. Yeah, it's nothing.
2:07:43 Well, they leave it on. Yeah, of course you do. And so when something happens, you're kind of monitoring constantly. I think both my wife and daughter are on Facebook three hours a day. And let me just say something. Wasting time, I might add. Although I, of course, disagree with this study, and we'll have to listen to a little bit more because, you know, these people are clearly doomed. They're going to die. I will say that I do believe, and I just observed this behavior with my daughter, I do believe that there is a correlation between Receiving a new text or a tweet or a Facebook message or something waiting That's why people check these phones all the time. It gives you like oh, I've got something Yeah, it used to be the same with us with email remember that Johnny be like, oh, I got a new email That's cool. I got an email and this is so new. I think mail. Yeah. Yeah, exactly I think it is actually firing triggering something in your brain that probably gives you some endorphins or something. So Maybe when you're not texting or tweeting it would
2:08:38 and it always ends up evolving into, oh my god, I got, look at this, I'm backed up. Right, we know what the eventual outcome is because it will drive you to drink because you can't clean out your inbox. But let's listen to the hyper texting issue. So these are young people who really are almost obsessed with using SMS messages and social network. They're spending a really an excessive amount of time online and and connected with friends through social media and in doing so they've perhaps taken peer pressure to a cyber peer pressure level a high-tech peer pressure that may be part of what's contributing to the
2:09:22 statistics that you were describing. Alright, well let's talk about that and whether there's a cause and effect here in just a second but let's put up some of those statistics that you talk about and these are just stunning. These are just stunning. Texters, the kids who send more than 120 text messages a day during school are according to your study 40% more likely to have smoked, two times more likely to have tried alcohol, 43% more likely to be binge drinkers, 41% more likely to try illicit drugs, and three times more likely to have had sex. Well that's the whole point of texting is to get laid. Why don't they understand?
2:09:59 It's so simple. You know it's like and this is a coincident index anyway. I mean it's bullcrap that you would connect the two. I mean what what is the causal relationship? What makes you Any of these things happen because what makes you smoke because you're texting what makes you drink because you're texting I don't get it whether they're not providing me with any information They're just saying people do this this this and this Coincidentally all at the same time or all from the same all the same person does the same thing I mean, this is not giving me. This is not what I'm looking for in a survey. Let's listen to some more Those findings are just stunning
2:10:38 They are a wake-up call, I think, to parents and perhaps to teens themselves. So is there a cause and effect here? Is it the texting that leads to these behaviors or is it just somebody who may be prone to at-risk behaviors tends to find fascination in texting and social networking? Well clearly our study does not demonstrate cause and effect. We are not saying that texting causes these behaviors. Our study really is the first to... Doesn't do anything. Exactly. I'm glad you picked up on it. This guy is a phony. Now let's go over a couple of things. One, they should say, does somebody who texts 120 times a day do
2:11:21 more, uh, they drink more. Somebody does two, uh, two at 40 a day. They drink more than the one 20. There's a 60 person a day. There's a 30 person a day. I mean, there's no information here whatsoever. This is just a bogus study. They found a coincidence because most kids text a lot and probably all the kids have tried, you know, pot or they've had a drink or whatever especially what age group are we talking about specifically this is the kind of thing that should not even be on the air and the fact that a news show which I'm assuming this is CNN yes CNN of course it's a six minute interview it's a six minute package it's ridiculous that this sort of thing is being thrown out there they somebody should come on and say this is bullcrap let's talk about some some news is actually happening
2:12:05 So who is the Kaiser Family Foundation? Because they're the ones that funded the study. Well, that's Kaiser Permanente. I'm sure it's in the same operation there. The people that have all these hospitals and they have all these programs for people to drink too much. and probably have other programs for people who smoke too much and everything in between or get hooked on heroin, I would assume there's a connection there between the permanente hospitals and this bogus study. Okay, well thank you very much. It's the Kaiser Family Foundation, kff.org. They're the ones that funded it and so that's how it works.
