Tripp: Hi, everyone. Thanks for being here this week. Who'd like to get us started?
Tyler: I'll go first. Hi, my name is Tyler, and I'm a selfieholic.
Group: Hi Tyler.
Tyler: Three days ago, I posted a shameless mirror selfie. You know the kind.
John: Like, where you don't even try to hide the phone?
Tyler: Yeah, as you can see, I didn't even take the time to turn the flash off.
Paul: Been there.
Speaker 1: Me too.
Tripp: Beth, how are you doing with those poses?
Beth: What poses?
[Group laughter]
Beth: What poses?
Tyler: Let's see if I can do it justice. Knee tucked in. We got the elbow out, so that the
arm looks thinner than it really is. Chin up, sticking out, so that there's no double chin.
Beth: You guys noticed that?
Paul: It's kind of hard not to. Can I say something? I'm Paul, and I'm a selfieholic.
Group: Hi Paul.
Paul: I accidentally watched a video on my Instagram feed.
Tripp: It's not your fault buddy.
Paul: I know. I know it isn't. But, I just feel so stupid. I mean, I thought it was a photo,
and I left it up too long, and it just started playing.
Tripp: Come here. [Tripp & Paul Hug] Does anyone have any successes they'd like to
share?
John: I do. Hi, everyone. My name is John, and I'm a selfieholic.
Group: Hi John.
John: It's been two weeks since I posted a picture of a sunset.
Tyler: I noticed you only used one hashtag.
John: Hashtag, no filter.
Tyler: I've been known to use a hundred and seventy two hastags, on a single photo, on
Insatgram. I'm really hoping to hit that explorer tab.
Amy: Me too.
Tripp: So what I'd like everyone to do is to take out your most recent photo that you
posted, and, as an exercise, I want you to give me an honest caption.
Beth: This is what my family is like, four percent of the time.
Amy: Hi, my name is Amy, and I'm also a selfieholic.
Group: Hi Amy.
Amy: I posted a picture of my Louis Vuitton bag, and my Marc Jacobs bag, and my
Chloe bag, along with my outfit of the day, for the past, like, six months.
Paul: Double tap.
Amy: Eww.
Tyler: Look what I just posted.
[Group oohs and ahhs]
Tripp: Why did you really take that picture, Tyler?
Tyler: I just feel like, if I show everyone how much I travel, they'll think I'm more
important than I really am, [Points to group] case in point.
Tripp: It's practically impossible to resist, when you're in a window seat.
John: Yeah, I took this photograph, with the caption, "My office for the day." And the
photo I posted before that, "My office for the day."
Tripp: Look, we're all trying to feel important. I mean, I only use profile pictures where
I have a microphone, and there's stage lighting.
Paul: I was trying to take a picture of my watch. I didn't realize my front facing camera
was on.
Tripp: Paul, why were you trying to take a picture of your watch?
Paul: It's a fitness watch. I was trying to show my running stats.
Tripp: Well, at least you didn't use the Kelvin filter again.
[Group agrees]
Paul: Yeah, I'm kind of on a Valencia kick now.
Tyler: I'm more of a 1977 guy.
Carlos: Earlybird.
Speaker 2: Sutro.
Amy: Low Fi.
John: X Pro II
Speaker 1: Don't need one.
Speaker 3: I just use normal.
Tripp: I'm proud of you. It's a step.
Speaker 1: Have you guys seen this one yet? It's my bae.
Paul: Yolo.
Tripp: Anything else?
Carlos: I took a picture of a quote, and I posted it.
Tripp: Like, like just text?
Carlos: Yeah, just text.
Tyler: Carlos, Instagram is not really the place for that, alright? You're thinking of
Twitter, [Points at Tripp] right?
