Is this the year everyone quits social media?

Michael Calor. Yes

Lauren Good. Yes!

Michael Calor. What about you, Zoe?

Zoe Schiffer. My total screen time. I actually looked it up before and I think it’s three hours and 40 minutes on my phone, which honestly seems impressive. You’re raising your eyebrows, Mike, why are you doing that? : Only a few of these are actually on social media apps.I feel like I deserve a Medal of Honor.

Michael Calor. You really deserve a medal of honor. I have a timer on my phone that goes off after being on Instagram for more than 20 minutes. I used to beat that timer every day.

Lauren Good. This is not a joke. He follows this. I’ve sent Mike memes in the past and then not heard back, and since we work across the newsroom from each other, I’ll literally go to his desk sometimes and.

Zoe Schiffer. It is thirsty.

Lauren Good. No, I know. He’ll be like, “No, I’m out of time,” and I’m like, “You’re on it, check out the meme.”

Lauren Good. All the time.

Michael Calor. Constantly?

Lauren Good. I’m fantasizing about it right now.What if you didn’t feel the need to broadcast something all the time?

Michael Calor. Yes! What about you, Zoe?

Zoe Schiffer. To be honest, I’m not that into them, but I’ve been on parental leave for a few months now, so the answer is that I’m constantly thinking about getting off my phone, and I honestly wonder how much time I can spend on my phone. Not even using social media apps?

Michael Calor. I often feel like just throwing the phone across the room and never looking at it again, but then I always pick it up and turn it back on.

Lauren Good. It’s usually after I send him a terrible meme.

Michael Calor. Yeah, or I’m thinking of a joke.

Lauren Good. It is true.
