Is it fair to make that comparison?

Are these similar situations?

Yeah, it's definitely moving by the minute.

Thanks so much, Jude.

It's that time when we bring in Victoria Craig to talk about what's on tap for next week.

Hey, Victoria.

Hey, Mark.

So Monday and Tuesday are going to send a little different around here.

Do me a favor and tell the people what we have in store.

Which is just a huge topic right now, no matter where you are.

Victoria, I'm curious, what did John tell you about the reason that it's picking up?

Are you saying our smartphones are making us less social?

Catch Victoria Tuesday, not Monday, Tuesday of next week with that conversation here in the podcast feed.

Thank you as always, Victoria.
