As I was saying, you're one of the last of the Mohicans rocking that flip phone. Yeah, that's right. I'm proud of it. Do you text people? Yeah, yeah, I text. Do you do the do-do-do-do-do, or it takes a bunch of times?
Well, it's something called T9. It's predictive texting, so it gives you a bunch of alternatives. You just have to do it all on a keypad with your thumb rather than with an iPhone where you have the full alphabet. But I bet that battery lasts like a week. I don't even travel with a charger, man. Really? Yeah, I mean, unless I'm gone for a week.
But if I'm just gone for a couple of days and I don't have any long conversations planned, I don't even bother.
Wow. Yeah. All emailed, everything's handled at home. All on the laptop, right? Yeah, plus chicks do get mad. They do?
