Chapter 1: What are the weirdest things on your algorithm?
Welcome back to the Ba-
welcome back to the basement yard decked out in all white there he is why do you say it like that what decked out in all white like that it felt felt wrong right you try to make everything like a thing i don't know and i don't want to offend anybody um so we're gonna pivot yeah i'm gonna have cnn's gonna no but it is really really cool that like I do think, and this isn't cool.
I do think though, that like when we get together, your algorithm is like listening to what we're talking about. And I'll be like, let's send this. Because how many times have we talked about something, whether it be on the show or off the show, we leave here and then immediately a TikTok of it posts. Like it pops up in my timeline.
Mine is pretty... See, the problem is sometimes what I really don't like... And this is why Twitter is horrible. It's so bad. Everyone is miserable on that app.
Chapter 2: How does social media influence our conversations?
And TikTok, you can get to a point where... there's a lot of just misery back and forth.
And I'm like, I can't like, I will purposefully like get out of those and try to watch like nice stuff. Like, I just want to be warmed by the heart. You know what we should do? We should do a Patreon episode that it is niche, but we each bring in like our five favorite TikToks and we show them to each other just because like, it's such a sense of camaraderie.
Like Becca and I will lay in bed and I'll be like, You like anything for me? And she'll be like, come look. And we like sit there and we go through like her TikTok.
Chapter 3: What are the differences between Twitter and TikTok?
Oh yeah, I do that. I don't do it every day, but like definitely like there's a check-in of like, let's see what we've liked. Yeah, let's see. Like, what did you like?
What did I like? Let's combine. Also, obviously mine is the best and you think yours is the best. I've never met anyone whose likes are better than mine. It's just a thing.
I don't like a lot. I am very selective with what I'm going to like. Oh, you're trying to build a portfolio. Bingo. I'm trying to make it like, oh, man, these are good likes.
This is a good like over here.
You know, a well-placed like. Yeah. I also get a lot of ā I don't know if you guys get these. It's like TikToks of like ā I don't want to say poorly drawn because that sounds disrespectful, but it's like ā

Chapter 4: How do personal preferences shape our social media feeds?
But it's over hand-drawn animation. And then you take credit for the words, and you're like... Of course, yeah, absolutely. This is how I feel. My thought... Instead of me. Instead of me saying it, I'm just going to show you a video of someone else doing it very well, and I'm taking credit.
It's the equivalent of a Valentine's card. You just... Dear... Dear babe, love me. And whatever's written in it, you're like...

I will allow Frank to fill in the blanks after I tell the framing, but we were younger and we were going somewhere.
No, I'll tell the story because it deserves to be properly told. Joey had just purchased a fucking apartment in Long Island City. The place was sick. And it was... For those of you guys that don't live in New York or know Long Island City, it's fucking awesome. It was like cool bars, cool restaurants before it became like cool to be cool.

But like, not like if it was like, I have an uncle that works for the NFL. We can hang out with him. No, he was an elect is an electrician. So like, Hey man, let's go hang out with my uncle. He's an electrician. Or if he was like, 30-something, and we were like 25.
Yeah, no, mid to late 40s.
Maybe even 50. Oh, dude, we can go hang out with my uncle. I said, what? I said it, and as the last syllable left my mouth, your brain just instantly registered, this is the dumbest thing ever. that I have ever heard. I can also see on your face that you did, like, it was almost like you didn't say it.
It was like someone else did it with your mouth and you were like, well, it was a prime example of like, I had the idea and the idea went from my brain out through my mouth at the exact same time. There was no filter. Like people think like, oh, he's not filtered. Like he says fucked up shit. No, it was not filtered in the sense of like, the idea should have stopped Right where it was.
Right in the throat. It just kept going. Oh, man.
