FOR
THE OPENING CRAWL.
>>> TIME FOR WHAT'S THE BUZZ.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOCIAL
MEDIA.
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH AND WHAT IS
JUST RIGHT.
JOINING US IS LAUREN CROCKER
FROM THE BLAINE FOWLER MORNING
SHOW.
96.3 WDVD!
[LAUGHTER]
>> Tati: WE HAVE MARLIN, JASON,
AND THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH
US.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
TFRNLTS WHEN YOU FIRST LAID OUT
THE TOPIC, JASON GOES, "AWE
YEAH" AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN
EXCITING CONVERSATION.
>> Jason: SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO
FILTER, AND OTHER PEOPLE DON'T
POSSESS THAT SELF-EDITING
QUALITY, LIKE I'VE ALREADY
TWEETED 12 TIMES TODAY AND MAYBE
13 IS TOO MANY.
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?
>> IT'S FUNNY YOU MENTIONED
TWITTER.
I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE ON IT
ALL THE TIME TO BE RELEVANT.
YOU CAN DO TOO MUCH ON FACEBOOK
OR INSTAGRAM AND KEEP IT TO A
FEW POSTS A DAY OR ONE A DAY.
TWITTER, IF YOU DON'T KEEP UP,
YOU GET PASSED BY.
>> I'M NEW TO TWITTER, SO I'VE
NEVER MESSED WITH TWITTER.
I'VE BEEN A FACEBOOK AND
INSTAGRAM PERSON.
BUT I STUDY THE ART OF POSTING.
THERE IS A STUDY TO THIS.
THERE ARE TIMES OF TH DAY THAT
ARE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHERS.
AS LONG AS YOU DO IT PROPER.
>> PEOPLE ACT LIKE THEY'RE
HAVING A MONOLOGUE.
NO ONE IS LIKING IT OR
RETWEETING IT.
YOU HAVE RANDOM THOUGHTS AND YOU
HAVE AN ENTIRE CONVERSATION WITH
YOURSELF.
THAT'S A LOT.
>> Tati: I LIK READING THOSE
THINGS.
BUT WHO HAS TIME TO DO THAT ALL
DAY ON TWITTER?
>> Jason: ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT!
>> IT'S PART OF OUR CULTURE.
I SEE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME
DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING.
SO --
>> Jason: IT'S EXHAUSTING!
>> IT'S INGRAINED IN THE
GENERATION COMING UP, WE'RE THE
GENERATION OF YOU NEED TO SEE
WHAT I'M DOING AND I NEED TO BE
TALKING ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING.
>> IT'S HOW WE COMMUNICATE, TOO.
I'VE BEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA SO
MUCH MORE THAN I'VE TEXTED OR
TALKED TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY
MEMBER IN THE DAY.
WE COMMUNICATE THAT WAY NOW.
>> Tati: SO SPEAKING OF POSTING,
LET'S GET INTO THE PEOPLE WHO
POST THE WORKOUTS AND OTHER
HUMBLE BRAGS, LIKE I HAPPENED TO
BE WALKING DOWN THE STREET AT
6:00 IN THE MORNING OR CHECK OUT
MY NEW CAR OR LOOK WHAT BEY GOT
ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY.
[LAUGHTER]
>> I DON'T READ IT.
I'M A SCROLLER, AND I DON'T LOOK
AT EVERY THUMBNAIL.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT YOU
WANNA DO, GO FOR IT.
>> A LOT OF IT IS A BRAG, A
COVER-UP FOR A MISERABLE LIFE.
I AM NOT HAPPY, BUT I WANT
PEOPLE TO THINK I AM, SO HERE WE
GO.
I DEFINITELY THINK THAT'S WHAT
IT IS.
>> I LIKE THE PERSON WHO POSTS
ALL DAY AND TALKS ABOUT
EVERYBODY ELSE POSTING ALL DAY.
>> Jason: HYPOCRITICAL.
I LIKE ALBERT BROOKS, HE
STRATEGICALLY PARACHUTES INTO
MINUS FEED.
AND WHEN I SEE HIM, I THINK,
WHAT IS HE GOING TO SAY?
THE PRESIDENT WILL TWEET SOME
CRAZY THING AND HERE COMES
ALBERT WITH THE PERFECT JOKE AT
THE PERFECT TIME.
BAM!
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT.
AND IF I THINK SOMETHING IS
WORTHWHILE AND PEOPLE MIGHT GET
A KICK OUT OF IT.
THAT'S WHEN I POST.
>> THAT'S YOUR BOWL OF BACON.
>> Tati: QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY.
>>> SO WHEN IT COMES TO LOOKING
SOMEONE UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND
DOING YOUR RESEARCH AS I LIKE T
CALL IT, WHAT'S APPROPRIATE --
WHY ARE YOU SHAKING YOU HEAD?
>> I'M ALL ABOUT THE STOCKING.
ALL I NEED IS A NAME AND E-MAIL
AND I'M ALL ABOUT LOOKING YOU UP
AND TRYING TO FIGURE ON WHAT I'M
DEALING WITH AHEAD OF TIME.
>> YOU DON'T EVEN NEED AN
E-MAIL.
>> Jason: YOU'RE NOT STALKING,
YOU'RE PROFILING.
>> I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I'M
GETTING INTO.
I'VE WORKED JOBS WHERE YOU WORK
WITH THE PUBLIC, AND I'LL LOOK
THEM UP TO GET AN IDEA.
>> SOCIAL MEDIA, THEY PUT IT OUT
THERE BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU T
SEE WHO THEY ARE, SO I'M GOING
THROUGH ALL YOUR PICTURES AND AS
MANY POSTS AS I CAN SEE.
>> I AM NOT WASTING MY TIME!
NO!
I AM NOT!
A LOT OF IT IS SUPERFICIAL
ANYWAY.
I NEED THE FACE-TO-FACE
INTERACTION.
>> DON'T YOU WANT BACKGROUND
INFORMATION?
>> NO, BECAUSE IT COULD BE A
LIE.
SHOW ME WHO YOU ARE.
>> YOU GET AN IDEA.
>> YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE ME
BECOME YOU.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Tati: LET ME ADD ANOTHER
THING.
IT'S RESEARCHING AND IT'S FACT
CHECKING AT THE SAME TIME,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT
OF SINGLE FRIENDS WHO MEET
PEOPLE.
WE'RE THE FBI AND WE'LL FIND OUT
WHAT YOU WERE DOING A MONTH AGO.
>> SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE.
>> Tati: YES, YES!
AND IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO THAT
I BUSTED SOMEONE.
>> OKAY, THAT'S DIFFERENT.
TFRMTHS THAT'S FACT CHECKING.
>> Jason: DID YOU DO THE
RESEARCH ON THE NEW VIRAL HANDLE
ON I THINK INSTAGRAM.
SOMEBODY LAUNCHED IT AND IT'S
TRENDING, SOMETHING ABOUT
RUNNING 6 MILES A DAY.
>> THAT'S A LIVE HASHTAG NOW.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Tati: LET'S TALK ABOUT
PARENTS AND MONITORING KIDS'
SOCIAL MEDIA.
SHOULD THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR
PAGES?
>> Jason: THIS TERRIFIES ME AND
MY DAUGHTER IS 6 1/2.
SHE'S ON YOUTUBE WATCHING THE
BOXING VIDEOS.
I'M AFRAID OF THIS.
>> SOCIAL MEDIA, IF MY KID
WANTED TO BE ON IT, THERE'S A
CAVEAT BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT
EVERYTHING!
>> I DID THE SAME THING.
MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE NOW.
IT WAS IMPORTANT, THAT ANYTHING
YOU POST OUT THERE WILL FOLLOW
YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO APPLY
FOR COLLEGE, SHE WAS VERY HAPPY
SHE DIDN'T GO CRAZY.
AND I HAVE A VILLAGE OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE GOING TO LOOK AND SEE
WHAT YOU HAVE GOING ON OUT
THERE.
>> WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, NO WAY,
PARENTS AREN'T ALLOW TO LOOK!
BUT NOW THAT I'M A CHILD, I'M
ALL INTO SOCIAL MEDIA, SHE'S
ONLY 3, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY
THINGS GOING ON OUT THERE.
>> SHE HAD TO WAIT TILL HIGH
SCHOOL.
>> Jason: I'M SO GLAD THE
INTERNET WASN'T AROUND WHEN I
WAS A TEENAGER AND IN COLLEGE.
WOO!
>> Tati: THANK YOU, LORD.
