[18:38] Martina Andrews: When we're shopping.

[18:39] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Yes.

[18:40] Martina Andrews: And that's a dying pastime.

[18:43] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Uh-huh.

[18:43] Martina Andrews: And now that doesn't happen.

[18:44] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: So what does that cut down on?

[18:47] Martina Andrews: I guess uh friendship.

[18:49] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Uh-huh.

[18:50] Martina Andrews: Yeah. You might be um, and I'm just gonna take a guess that you're not you don't have a huge social media profile.

[18:58] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Do you are you active on Instagram and Twitter?

[19:01] Martina Andrews: I don't know what you're talking about.

[19:02] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Okay, right.

[19:04] Martina Andrews: I don't know.

[19:04] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: It's like it's like this.

[19:07] Martina Andrews: This is kind of crazy that I so I have an iPhone that someone bought me.

[19:14] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Yeah.

[19:14] Martina Andrews: And I have my son's phone numbers in there. All my friends.

[19:18] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Yes.

[19:18] Martina Andrews: All right. I so I used to carry a day by day agenda and all the phone numbers and everything would be in there.

[19:25] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Yeah.

[19:26] Martina Andrews: But now I've switched it. So I was thinking if I lost my iPhone, I wouldn't be able to contact anybody I love or know because now I can't remember the numbers.

[19:36] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Right.

[19:37] Martina Andrews: That can't be a good positive thing, can it?

[19:40] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Where do you where do you where is there backup for that?

[19:43] Martina Andrews: Well, there is. In theory, your phone would be backed up so that you do have those numbers somewhere else.

[19:48] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: So if your phone was lost, all that information is also somewhere else.

[19:52] Martina Andrews: Yeah, but where am I though to get it?

[19:54] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: What if I'm in Africa?

[19:56] Martina Andrews: If I'm on a safari and I don't know.

[20:00] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: I've had an accident with a chimp.

[20:02] Martina Andrews: Uh-huh.

[20:03] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: And I have to get in touch with my kids.

[20:06] Martina Andrews: Yeah.

[20:06] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: And the chimp w who and I love those animals has stolen my iPhone.

[20:11] Martina Andrews: How do I tell anybody what's going on?

[20:13] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Yeah.

[20:14] Martina Andrews: Yeah. I mean, hopefully you'd be with a safari leader or somebody.

[20:17] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: That's true, and they'd have my information.

[20:19] Martina Andrews: Yeah.

[20:20] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Okay.

[20:21] Martina Andrews: Now, um, have you typically been late to adopting new technologies, would you say?

[20:28] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Um I Huh, that's an interesting question.

[20:35] Martina Andrews: I would say that I jump on the bandwagon and then don't do anything with it.

[20:42] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Uh-huh.

[20:43] Martina Andrews: Like I have three C D players in my home and I and they I haven't used them.

[20:47] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Okay.

[20:48] Martina Andrews: So I try to buy things that I n know are um the new new wave.

[21:26] Martina Andrews: I m I might.

[21:28] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: That's something you know we can look into.

[21:30] Martina Andrews: Now you see what's happened.

[21:32] Martina Andrews: Because we become friends over this.

[21:34] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Yeah.

[21:38] Martina Andrews: And what's the downside?

[21:41] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: Right.

[21:42] Martina Andrews: Let me crawl to your closet and see what you have.

[21:46] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: That sounds like a great idea.

[21:48] Martina Andrews: Thank you so much for joining us.

[21:50] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: It's been my pleasure.

[21:52] Martina Andrews: Martina Andrews rummaged through my closet after our interview and found a very tasteful yet slightly revealing dress of mine to wear to her son's wedding.

[22:01] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: When she returned the dress, she apologized about the wine stains and confirmed that she would promptly replace the dress and attempt to purchase it online.

[22:10] Martina Andrews: Don't try finding out more about Martina. She doesn't even have an email address.

[22:15] Emily Amy Lauren Becca: We had to get this, call each other to communicate.

[22:45] Martina Andrews: Ha ha ha ha ha.
