You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. When it comes to my phone and apps, it's getting to be too much for me. I try to organize my apps. I try to have them in little folders. So, you know, music, work, stuff like this. It's gotten out of hand. And now I'm getting to the point

where I'm butt, you know butt dialing? You know when that was a thing, you call someone an accident. Now what I'm doing is butt moving apps. So I'll like go on my phone and I'll notice everything's rearranged. There's like, everything's just like, cause you get used to certain things.

Like Twitter's here, email's here, and now it's a thing where everything's off a little bit. It's like where's my weather? My weather app just disappeared. Your butt is holding down an icon on your homepage. It's doing the little shaky thing and your butt is then moving it somewhere else and then pressing down again and saying done.

I'm just telling you. So it's done being rearranged. Your butt's doing all of that. I'm putting my phone in my pocket. I'm taking it back out and all my apps are rearranged. And now I'm like, where's my weather? And I have to search for weather. And you search for it, it's still there.

But I can't find it. I'm like scrolling all my pages. How is your butt doing all of this? I'm amazed at my butt. It's the pocket, pocket dialing, pocket moving. It's just annoying. And all these apps, all these folders, it's tough to, I just, my head's spinning.

Once you lose an app, it feels like it's gone forever. And then you think you deleted it, and then you search for it, and it's still in your phone. So it's like, where is it? You can remove it from your home screen. I've done that with social media before to try to get myself to use it less.

And then, of course, I'm just searching it and going to the app. It's one extra step. It's not going to change anything. I want to hear my dad's thoughts on this. I want to just know. Like, in the next three minutes, I'm going to try to find my weather app.

And I'll let you guys know if I can find it. Please do. Why do you have a weather app? What? You want to know the weather you step outside. Why do you need a weather app? You ask your wife she's essentially your weather app. The same guy that complains when your wife doesn't tell you. I have an app so I don't need to ask my wife. I know but I have a Google app right? I go on the Google app weather in Fort Lauderdale today. Do you realize that. Do you realize that's a crazy amount of steps that you have to do?

You have to go on your safari, then you have to type in, type in what? There's just a weather app. I mean, I can't find mine, so it's actually easier. There's also a widget now where you don't even have to open an app. You just unlock your phone and it's right there, the number. I don't know about that.

It's just, I just, butt dialing, phone calls. Like you guys don't have any butt dialing in your life? Like you guys don't do stuff in your pocket? My worst thing is that a lot of the time what I'll end up doing when I call people is I'll call them from my recent calls. And so then when I go to hang up, if they hang up first,

I'll then accidentally not call them back, call a random person on my recent calls. And that's kind of the worst because, especially if it's your recent calls, it's someone who then is almost definitely gonna call you back. And so that's one of the worst things that happens, like accidentally calling your mom, ugh.

Yeah, imagine that. I'm a big fan of hiding apps that I rarely use. Like, I have Apple. I'm surprised you know how to hide an app no I do and I know I have Apple Wallet okay but I hardly ever use it I use it when UM is sending me a parking ticket for the game coming up or something so then I just that's a page three yeah so I just searched the app I searched the app it comes right up and there and then when I'm done with it, I disappear it again

I'm sick of single-use apps. Why does my headphones need its own app? Yeah, why it doesn't just on and off Yeah, I need you connect to Bluetooth. Yeah, what a button for that. I don't need an app for you It's a good point too many apps apps. Am I right? Yeah, too many. Yeah, not enough at restaurants too many on your phones Oh, I love apps. Oh, I love what I love, I love when an app takes the full left side of the page. I don't like it when you open the menu. I don't like it when the apps are just like the top left corner. No, no, no, I want the apps to be the full page. And don't call them small plates, just call them apps.

Don't, ridiculous. Shareable plates, no, no, these are apps. I liked our Flanagan's Watch Party, because it was all apps. Oh yeah, that's how I prefer them. I don't even want to say appetizers. Apps. I love when when we order Chinese food. I know that I'm not going to have a main dish.

I'm going to have like three apps. Yeah. What are your three apps? Not going to orange chicken or broccoli. I hate orange chicken. Sometimes I'll get Mongolian beef but that's beside the point. My apps would be spring rolls. Wanton soup. Yeah. Love it. But that's beside the point. My apps would be Spring Rolls, Wonton Soup. Yep, love it. And then I love Chinese Restaurant Chicken Wings,

I gotta tell ya. They are delicious. Something about that batter. But soup is not an app. Soup's not an app. Correct. No, soup's an app. Soup's a soup.

Soup's an app. Salad's not an app. Salad's a salad. I consider salad and soup an app. No, but you eat them before your main dish generally. They're a starter, they're not an app. Don't do this. Oh, that's a completely different category.

I'm just saying, soups and salads are not apps. They wouldn't have their own spot in the menu. But they're not starters. I think they are, I think they're apps. They're closer to a starter than an app. Italians have it right. We need like seven courses. Like enough of this just appetizer, main dish, dessert.

I need like a pasta. You need a secondi. I need like, there's just like, it's pasta time. It's meat time. I like that. It's appetizer main dish dessert I need like a pasta you need a secondi I need like there's just like it's pasta time yeah it's meat time I like that appetizer time yeah they got it right at once which can be overwhelming that's a good point I ate too much pie I need to go
