[00:00:01] Speaker A: And we're live. Welcome back to Careteric. And whoop. I'm gonna do it again.
Welcome back to Care tech and tips with Bobby and Barry.
What you got going on today, Bob?
[00:00:27] Speaker B: Well, we got a lot going on, so one of the things I know we're going to talk about is how to limit spam calls on your phone. And so we're going to talk a little bit about that. There's lots of ways to do that, both on app, on iOS, and for Android.
[00:00:43] Speaker A: Cool.
[00:00:44] Speaker B: And then, you know, there's a new, new sheriff in town. It's called iOS 18, and it's got some new features, new features, features that you gonna like. So, yeah, we definitely talk about some of that and how that works. There's some really cool stuff for sharing screens that are really very nice. Good deal waiting for it. So you now can take forward to that.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: That is God's end.
[00:01:09] Speaker B: Yes, it is. Yes, it is. And so I think we're going to have some good fun here as we talk about some features.
[00:01:15] Speaker A: That's great. That's great.
And gosh, yeah, so all those things are going to be good. I think we're also going to talk a little bit about how to maybe make phones easier for your loved ones. IPhones and Android phones are lovely, and if you're of the digital age, you get it and you just, you know, use it as best you can. But some of our older folks don't really get it because they grew up on a wired phone or a feature phone, what some people call it a dumb phone, but I like to call it a feature phone instead. And there's ways now in both platforms to take a, take a super smartphone and kind of make it a little bit more accessible for people who didn't grow up with smartphones. So we'll talk about that a little bit and like to talk a little bit about banking. I think Bobby's actually going to talk about that a little more than I am. And.
Yeah, go ahead.
[00:02:08] Speaker B: Yeah, there's. When is it time to take control? And maybe for your loved one that you're caregiving for, offer more than just casual assistance. Maybe it's time for you just to look banking accounts and make sure they're running well. What's some tips about that? You know, there are different types of ways of paying payment. It's not just a check anymore. So what's the right way for doing that? You know, we'll talk a little bit about differences between sale and cash app and venmo and why you should use one over the other.
So, yeah, I think we got some good opportunities there. We're also going to talk about when, when it's time to upgrade phones, too, because technology moves, moves fast, slows down for no one. And sometimes that iPhone seven needs to go.
[00:02:56] Speaker A: Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does. And before we get going with all of the good tech stuff, I've got another little thing I'd like to talk about that really came from something that I ran into this week. I ran into a problem where my dad had an issue. He gave me a call, and I do like I usually do. I think it's something that is both important and urgent, and I think it's something that need to be taken care of. And the short of it is, is that I took care of the problem and I helped him, helped him find a solution. But I found out later that it really wasn't all that urgent as much as he thought it was urgent at the beginning, at the outset of it. Later on, when I solved the problem, I realized it really wasn't that urgent for him after all. So let me talk a little bit about a way to kind of help you think about requests from your loved ones and how to kind of frame those in a way so you're not as stressed out about them, but you're able to handle them in a way that kind of, kind of helps you keep good humor about it, if that makes any sense at all. So if you don't mind. Hey, I think I'll get started with that one that works for you.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: All right, so here's something to think about. So I know you probably out there have run into this situation before where you got a loved one who's got a problem, and maybe they're living alone, you're trying to help them from a distance, and you. And you think, you know, you think every call that comes in when they have a problem or they need help with something, you feel like, I got to solve this right now because, you know, they need me. I really gotta. I really gotta help them out. But you can do that, and that's great. But there's some negative effects to that.
[00:04:47] Speaker B: You.
[00:04:48] Speaker A: You start to feel like you're on deck all the time, that you can't relax, and there's an element of giving an expectation that you are on call and available for everything at any time of the day or night.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:05:06] Speaker A: I know you understand that.
[00:05:07] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And so there then, just like everything else, you need to have a context, a set of rules that you follow. Even if you don't tell the loved one what you're doing in your own head, you need to realize, okay, there are some things that are important, the things that are not important, things that are urgent, things that not urgent. And you can actually form a matrix. And I know you're getting ready to talk about this. That helps you figure out what you should do first, what you should schedule, and what you should, might not do at all.
[00:05:37] Speaker A: Yes, exactly. Exactly. And it's funny, this week I ran into maybe two or three different conversations and meetings that I had for, you know, my side job. And in those, we all talked about forming up these matrixes or matrices to help you figure out the right answer for a problem and, and how to go about solving those things. So I want to talk a little bit about that. And it's called the Eisenhower matrix, and it came from Dwight D. Eisenhower back in, I guess, the fifties or something. Think it was around the fifties. And he had a saying. He said, you know, most important things aren't necessarily urgent. And he said, you know, most urgent things aren't necessarily important. So he formed up a way of thinking that he came to be known as the Eisenhower matrix. And if you think about it this way, let's say you've got a vertical axis that's over here on the left, and at the bottom you have not important. And right above that you have important.
And then at the top you've got this horizontal axis that at the top left hand corner up here you have urgent. And in the top right hand corner, you have not urgent. So that kind of gives you four quadrants, right? So if you've got four quadrants of the things where you can drop a task or you can drop a problem or something or request or something like that and help you think about it. So here's a way to think about this thing. So if you've got something that comes in from your mom, your dad, your, your loved one, and they, oh, my God, my phone's broken. I don't know why. It won't connect to Bluetooth in my car. I automatically go to work. Okay. I know how to solve that problem. That's a technical thing. There's three or four things it could be. Let's see if we can help them out. Well, that might be one of those things that you do need to step back and ask these questions about. Is it important?
It is. I'm sure it's important to them. Is it urgent? Well, maybe not, because they're talking to you on the phone. They were able to pull that off somehow. So maybe that's not all that urgent. Maybe that's something you could get back to later. So back to where I was. I digress. The, let's talk about the quadrants and how that might fit in. So here's an example like you, just like we were just saying, we got something, that it's important, especially to them, but it's maybe not all that urgent. There's a quadrant for that. That'd be your top right hand quadrant in the important and not urgent quadrant. Those things that fill, that fit into that important and not urgent quadrant are things that you should schedule. You should put them on a to do list. You should put them on a calendar. You might even say to your loved one, you know, I tell you what, right now I'm at the grocery store. I can't solve that for you right now. I know. I know how to do this, but let me call you back at 05:00 tonight and let's, let's work on that. So you've scheduled this not urgent imported task. Now, what if I tell you what, give me a, give me an example of a very, very important, very urgent thing that you've had in the last week or two.
[00:08:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
Hey, I think my money's gone.
[00:08:57] Speaker A: Yeah. That'll wake you up big time. Big time. It. And I know you're going to go, I know you're going to go into that a little bit more later. So we're going to use that one. Yeah. To me that sounds like it's very important. It has a lot to do with money and banking and it's urgent. Oh, my goodness, my money is gone. So there's a quadrant for that in the Eisenhower matrix. It's the top left one. It is the important and urgent stuff, and those are things that you need to deal with right now.
[00:09:21] Speaker B: Right.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: So if it comes in and you've thought about it for a second and he's like, yep, that's urgent and important. Do it. Do it right now. That do it quadrant is for tasks with deadlines or consequences. And in your case, there's definitely deadlines and there's definitely consequences, consequences on that one. So, yeah.
[00:09:41] Speaker B: I have to do my taxes for next year.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it's important, but that's not that urgent. So we could put that on a calendar somewhere or to do list. We'll get to that eventually. So that that falls back into the top right hand schedule section. All right, well, what about things that are not important but they're urgent.
So some small thing that needs to get done. Oh, my goodness. The, the trash needs to get, get taken out this morning because the, it's trash day and the bins need to be rolled out to the, to the curb. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's kind of urgent and we maybe forgot to do that, but it's not that important. Probably in the long run it would be okay if it didn't get done.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: Well, the good one is I need.
[00:10:26] Speaker A: To get the, yeah, there you go. Exactly. Yeah. So the quadrant for that in the Eisenhower matrix is the delegate quadrant. These are tasks that must get done, but they don't require your specific skill set to do. So it might be you call a neighbor to help you out with that, you call somebody who's nearby to help with that sort of thing. So delegate that. And one good thing about, though, is if you delegate it, maybe make your own self a note to go back and make sure that it got done. Follow up, important.
Follow up is important. And really the follow up is a not urgent but important thing that could kind of go on your list if you think about it, so.
Exactly. So that only leaves one more quadrant. Right. We've got, we, so far we've dealt with imported and urgent. Imported and not urgent. And not important. And urgent. So that leaves us. Not important and not urgent. Don't do them. That's the answer right there. They are distractions and they are unnecessary, so don't do them. Overall, I think if you think about these kind of questions and problems that come in this way, it might in some way cause you a little bit less stress or, you know, let you relax, let your shoulders down a little bit. So something that's been relevant to me in this last week or so with several different meetings and conversations I've having. But I thought, you know, this, this really applies to, to caregiving, too. So I wanted to share that with everybody. I hope that's something that you can take and kind of, kind of help give yourself some stress relief with, you.
[00:11:56] Speaker B: Know, and it doesn't always have to be with caregiving. I know we're care tech and tips, but guess what? You can use this for delegation. If you're doing it your job, for your own list that you need to go through, maybe you're having a conversation with, with a, with a younger child about what you do. So this matrix works for a lot of things.
[00:12:16] Speaker A: There's a, there's also a good website out there called www. Dot Eisenhower dot me. We'll leave a link in the show notes for that to go and learn more about that and to learn about how, how people are using that matrix to, to help out with their own stuff.
Alright, so that was a quick one. But when I wanted to get out there, it was, it was urgent and important to me to be able to give that to you guys. So we took care of it.
All right, Mister Clark, let's start. Let's talk some tech.
[00:12:45] Speaker B: So we want to hit that banking thing since we kind of segued in it to a little bit.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: So absolutely go for it.
[00:12:51] Speaker B: All right. So first of all, in those tasks that are come up and these are probably important, I would stress to you, making sure that as you begin to start your caretaking journey with your loved one, one of the most important things you need to do is to make sure you understand where their money is and how they use it. So do they have enough checks to write whatever they need to write? How do you get to their banking online? Do they trust you for that? Because one of those things to do when that question comes and my money's gone is if you haven't prepared for that, that can be a really stressful question.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Your heart would jump out of your chest at that point when you heard that on the phone.
[00:13:33] Speaker B: So you almost have to think about, well, what would happen if they came to me and asked that question and what would I do and do some prep.
Where does your mom bank? Where does your father bank? What accounts do you have? Is there a list of all of them? How do you get to them? That kind of thing. So having that conversation, when you're at the point, and we all know where I'm talking about, hey, it's getting a little more difficult to manage those things. And so you need to step in and really have a conversation.
It doesn't mean you take over, it doesn't mean you keep them from doing stuff, but it does mean that when they're calling frantic about my money's gone, you can say, no, it's not. I see it right here. And so you want to have that kind of talk beforehand to make sure that you could have that answer if you needed to. And that might mean sitting down with your, your parent, your older one, and saying, okay, how do you know where things are? What do you do? What do you pay for? Where's your schedule, that kind of thing. So again, that kind of ounce of prevention can really save you a lot of stress.
I'm speaking from experience on this.
Definitely have that conversation. Even if you never use it, even if you never need it, it's better to have and not need and need and not have.
[00:14:56] Speaker A: For real. And you know, it's, you bring up some good ideas here too. In that same vein with banking, it's a good idea, like you said, to know what the incomes and the outflows are from, from their, their bank account just to kind of keep an eye on. Are they, are they accumulating or are they depleting those accounts? And, you know, are they in good shape? Do you, do they need to make a change or do you need to help them make a change about how they're spending money or where it's going? And to do that, you kind of got to get in there and look around to that. It's, it, once you have that information, it's fairly easy to make a quick little budget document that'll show you the inflows and the outflows and kind of help them understand if they don't already. You know, in my case, my dad, he never really paid a bill. My mom handled all that. So I helped him get an idea of what the outflows were in the incomes were. And that's been a good picture for us to rely on for that sort of thing.
Gosh. Yeah.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: That's, that's the other thing that comes to mind when you, this is making sure that they're not doing things out of habit that, that take time and effort where they don't need to. Everybody knows we got automatic draft on a lot of things.
[00:16:08] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:16:09] Speaker B: You need to start setting that stuff up. So, you know, they paying the water bill and paying the power bill. That doesn't, now isn't mean that they have to pull out a check, write the check, send the check. You know, we in this day and age, automatic draft is your friend. You want to as much as you can.
[00:16:26] Speaker A: It is. Now I'm going to offend some people with this and I'm going to tell you it's controversial, controversial subject. So I'm going to go ahead and lay that out.
[00:16:34] Speaker B: All right. All right.
[00:16:36] Speaker A: Here he goes. You don't have to balance your checkbook every month.
[00:16:42] Speaker B: Well, yeah, I'm just saying you don't.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: Have to do it. It's going to be okay. If you, if there's a way to look at your bank account account every day and know what's going on with it, and you may be not writing all that many checks, probably it's going to be close enough.
It's my opinion, again, I'm probably, probably going to get all kind of hate mail about that.
[00:17:05] Speaker B: Yeah. And we know the generation we're all doing the caregiving with, they like to have pieces of paper in their hands, and sometimes paperless is best, especially since you have very, you know, sensitive data on paper all over the place, you know, every bank routing number you have. So, you know, consider, you know, turning some of that stuff off. Lots of people actually give discounts for you to get to go paperless, actually give discounts for you to do automatic drives. And you ought to think about that, especially if money is not the issue now. I get it. If I don't have enough to stretch. And now you got a. That's a different problem. Yeah, set that stuff up so, you know, it's getting taken care of, so, you know, it's all right.
Yeah. And. And sometimes, too, you know, we get services for my mom. My mom has a lot of things that people do for her, and she's very used to writing checks for them. And, you know, that's okay when you. When, you know, 20 years ago, that's okay ten years ago, not so okay now, because most people look at a check and don't even know what it is. So explore the idea of things like Cash app, Venmo, Zelle, which are all. Zelle's available on most online banking anyway, and most people can take it with downloading an app. I know cash app has some difficulties if you're doing more than a certain amount of money, and you need to be careful about that. But Zelle is pretty common, and paying people with those things like Venmo and Zelle is the new way of doing it. So if you're not familiar with it, get familiar with it. If you need to help your loved one, get familiar with it. Well, maybe you all need to have that conversation.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: Yes. The goal is to make it easier for everybody and do it in a safe, safe and secure way. And, you know, it's.
It's hard to get across this, but that piece of paper that has your banking routing number and your account number on it, it's not good for those to just float around. So, you know, that's another thing, too, right there. We used to not think about all that, but. But that's important information these days, and it's really easy to set up a bank draft with those pieces of information. So you don't want that getting in the wrong hands.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: You know, some places will still send you a bill and say, hey, it's gonna be trapped out here. Is it? Here's how much it is, or to send you a notification and say, we're about to take out this money. So there's lots of ways for you to still be notified about things.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure.
[00:19:32] Speaker B: Don't be scared of that.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: And one other aspect of it too, is just a small one, is that the checks are expensive. Like the actual printed books of checks. They used to be, they used to be free. Now they're very expensive to get sent to your house to do that. And I get it because a, that's a difficult printing problem, actually. So if you can avoid having to do that as much that that's a good thing.
So I know that you just recently installed iOS 18.
I did ipadOS 18 and Max Sequoia and all that. And as y'all all know, we are apple geeks and unabashed apple geeks, and we like to talk about some of the things that are there. But there's a lot of cool things in these new versions of the operating systems that apply really well to our mission here to talk about making it a little bit easier to do caregiving. So tell me what you got, man.
[00:20:30] Speaker B: Well, first of all, this is a subject that I'm sure we'll get into even deeper. And if you haven't heard the word Teamviewer, Teamviewer has been the standard, the gold standard for things when you try to share screensh with your loved ones. And if you haven't done that before, you need to look into that. We'll have a podcast, I'm sure, really soon, that talks about sharing in the whole scope of things. But finding a way to see people screen instead of them having to describe their screen, is, you know, life changing for you as a caregiver, you really, really, really need to do that.
But one of the things that's been a problem is doing that on this has been difficult.
[00:21:07] Speaker A: And he's holding up an iPhone, for those of you holding up an iPhone.
[00:21:13] Speaker B: But now there is a new sheriff in town. It's called iOS 18. And guess what? It has a feature. Feature is that you can share your screen, you can show them their ear screen, and you can see their screen. Phone to phone to phone to phone, iPad to phone. It works great. And when you actually point a button, you can actually draw a circle around it, point an arrow to it, you can actually annotate it in a way that shows that person what to do. Now that is right now are having a commission fit. If you've never heard this before, you're back on the phone going, how do I do this. Been on the phone for an hour trying to teach your loved one how to take a camera shot or how to, how to turn on the Wi Fi or, hey, how even, how to place a call. So I'll read their text message. And it's been 40 to 30 minutes trying to figure out where they're even looking at the screen. You can, this can change your life. And so it's very easy to do. You go into FaceTime and guess what? There's an option for you to actually say, I want to send my screen. I want to ask to see their screen. And it works really well. Now, the catch is your phone's got to be both at iOS 18 if you're an apple or the latest version of Android. Now, I think there are ways to do that too, but. So you have to be a new place. And guess what that means. You might have to look at your phone to make sure you know what, what version of phone you have. But, but the really nice thing about that is if you get to the latest version, these features can save you lots of time.
[00:22:45] Speaker A: Lots of time, man. I don't doubt that. But, you know, you actually bring a good point. So it's probably a good segue for this too, is let's talk about that, about when it's. When is it time to upgrade your phone to get these new features versus leaving things as they were and trying not to change things? Because that, you know, that, that always seems to be a sticking point with some of the folks I know, is like, why did they have to change the interface on this thing? I just got used to it. So what's your thoughts?
[00:23:16] Speaker B: Well, there's a couple. If there's a feature you want to get to the new phone, then you certainly want to start considering things like screen sharing. You might certainly want to make sure that you're at the same versions. The other thing that's really important, and both of us are both security geeks too, we want to think security is important, is when your phone stops updating, when you can't update it anymore. Now, I'm not talking about just, you can't go from iOS 18, from iOS 17. I mean, the system level patches stop coming.
If that happens, it's time to get a new phone.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:23:53] Speaker B: And obviously the other reason is it doesn't work. And I don't just broke, I mean, say it doesn't hold a charge or the screen is dim or, you know, a button doesn't work or you can't see it because there's a big crack in the middle of it. You know, those are things you can do. And there's lots of ways to get. Not just. You don't have to get a new phone, just a newer phone. You can go to places like a zelle.com and even to Apple and buy refurbished items and replace those items with newer versions of that so that they cost less and still have some of the features that you want. So, you know, you got an iPhone seven, we'll go to iPhone eleven. There's plenty of them. And they're cheap. They're not that expensive. So look at your tech and make sure you realize that sometimes keeping the old thing costs you more time and effort than it's worth.
[00:24:41] Speaker A: And have that conversation with your loved one, too, is that it's not. Not that I want you to have a brand new phone. It's a brand new, expensive thing that, in my case, I end up buying my dad his phone or some of my other relatives. I go ahead and pay for it because it can be a little jarring. And I thought I'd rather go ahead and buy it because it saves me more time and energy. And that is as important as cash. So, you know, time and energy is just as important as cash. When it comes right down to it, that's a big deal.
So that brings me to things like, how do you. How do you. How do you deal with these major changes in interfaces for people? Like, how do you. How do you kind of help smooth that over?
[00:25:27] Speaker B: You had a really cool idea, I think you should share with it. And it's actually. It's a new feature that dumbs down the phone that I think is really cool. And maybe the actual answer when you're talking about phones and trying to not change people's situation. So you did a really cool thing, a test with it, and I think you should tell people about it.
[00:25:48] Speaker A: Okay, so this is a. This is an Apple feature. It's called assistive access. And I'll be transparent with you. I know about the Apple version, but I also know that there is a version of this for Android phones, and it's as part of an app that you can download from the Google Play Store called Android accessibility suite.
That's that version. But let's go back to Apple for a minute here. The thing that I tried is Apple assistive access. And generally what it does is it takes a smartphone and dials it down a little bit.
You know, a lot of our loved ones who are of a certain age grew up with a phone that was plugged into the wall. And then after that, they moved over to a cell phone.
Some people call them feature phones. You know, stuff that it was a cell phone that you could make a call on. You could do messages with it.
You could maybe it had a camera so you could take photos and. And that was about it, honestly. So to take a new phone with a lot of security features and a lot of the cool stuff that we like, and to put it in the hands of someone who grew up with these other pieces of technology or simpler pieces of technology, it can be jarring at times. So assistive access takes that smartphone and it turns it into a feature phone. It has huge buttons. You can limit what's, what's even available in the case. One of the examples I saw in a video about it was limiting the whole front face of the iPhone to, like, six buttons that just six big buttons. One for calls, one for camera, one for messages, one for music, one for photos, and then, like, one for the weather. And even the weather might be a stretch.
The interfaces for all of those things are simplified. If you. If you decide to take a. Take a photo, there is a view for the camera lens, and there's a great big button that says take a photo, and then there's a great big button that says back.
Same thing with making phone calls and doing the other sorts of things, like moving around in a photo gallery or things like that. Dead simple interfaces and kind of bulletproof. The other thing that is part of assisted access is really kind of limiting who can be called and who can call that phone. And there's adjustable things here that you can do, but you can limit it to specific, only specific calls can be made, just a handful of them, if you want. Or only specific callers can call in. Or you can say anybody in the contact list can call in, and you can call out to any of those. You can limit whether or not you want to show a keyboard, to be able to dial numbers that you maybe don't have a contact for. You've got an option where you can turn that on and off. So it really just kind of tightens up the interface, makes it a whole lot easier for someone who didn't grow up in the digital world. And it also takes out the extra element there of getting calls from unknown callers and are accidentally calling folks that you don't need to be able to call and stuff like that. So, yeah, I highly recommend it, especially if you got some cognitive decline.
It will keep them out of trouble, and it will keep you from having to do so much work to support it.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Now, maybe you don't want to do that full blown interface and you just want to take one step. You want to make sure that calls that aren't necessary go straight to voicemail. There is a very easy step on iPhone and even on Android, too. We got a couple list of show notes where you can make it so that if it's not in your contact list, it goes immediately to voicemail. There's a very simple item to check on iPhones to do that, and that allows you to control that kind of thing. So if you don't want to do the full thing with the interface, and that's really a cool thing to do, you should really look at it if you interesting, but you want to try something just to help things, try that setting. That setting takes all the 5 seconds to do and will certainly help you do it. And I know Barry and I have been talking about how easy that is. And we live, we don't live up with our phones. We get a lot of extra calls on our phones. And so that feature helps you?
[00:30:13] Speaker A: Oh, gosh, yeah. I use that feature myself, and I helped a good friend of mine set that up in the past week to kind of put the, the kibosh on all of these political spam calls and Medicare and insurance company, the spam calls that are happening. It's nuts how many, many times a day that those kinds of things go out. And this is a neat little feature. It just sends them directly to voicemail. Your phone doesn't even ring. You might have got a notification that it happened, but that's it. And, you know, some people will say, well, you know, what if I get a call from my doctor and it's a, it's a different, different phone number? Will it do that? Yes, it will. It'll send it to voicemail, but your doctor will leave a voicemail. These robo calls, these spam callers, these political calls, they're not going to leave a voicemail. So it was, it was good to get them out of your face anyway. So there you go.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: And if that port and call leaves the force bell and you don't want to do anymore, guess what? Put that number in your contact list and that won't happen.
[00:31:14] Speaker A: There you go. And even this, too. It's, it's fairly smart if you have interacted with someone at that telephone number in the last little while, like say, maybe you had a text message from someone who, you didn't have their name in the contact list, but you knew who they were, their phone number was there, or you've made an outgoing call to, say, a doctor's office to, I don't know, an 800 number there or an odd number that you don't have in a contact list, it's smart enough to say, oh, he's already dealt with them before. We'll let that call come through. That's probably somebody who he really wants to talk to. So, I mean, it's really slick. And I'm sure that, like I said, Android versions of that are out there.
[00:31:50] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:31:51] Speaker A: And that, that's just something that, that can give you a whole lot less stress than dealing with these spam callers all the time.
[00:31:56] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a, there's a very cool page that gives you eight ways to do it on Android. And one of them I know is you can take the contact and you can set up whether it goes through or not. So if you have things you need to block or if you want to whitelist it in one way or the other, you can do that too. So there's lots of options on Android.
[00:32:13] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. For sure. So, so I think there was. Oh, there's one thing that I wanted to tell everybody, and I think I did this in one of the earlier little promos that I put out. But we have an email address now.
