Joy: Hi guys, this is Joy.

Claire: And this is Claire. And you are joining us halfway through a conversation about how Bluetooth connection problems are the evidence we need that robots will never take over the world.

Joy: Claire was setting up her computer in her recording set up. She was getting off another call. And was okay, every time I get onto this computer – we have a different recording system for podcasts for a microphone – it always goes back to a different setting. I was like, yeah. I have a Bluetooth speaker light in my office. And every time I walk in here, my earbuds want to just pop over to the speaker lights. So everything I listen to now comes out – I didn’t want to change it. And if our 30-year-ago selves were listening to our conversation would be like, “What?” I was thinking about earbuds today. How when they first came out, everyone was making fun of them. The meme with – what’s the movie? Something About Mary?  

Claire: Oh yeah, they do look like that.

Joy: They really do. [laughing] That’s not wrong.

Claire: It’s not wrong. It’s not wrong. And I also think Bluetooth technology does not seem to have advanced at all since it came out originally like 15 years ago with guys with their little Bluetooth belt attachment.

Joy: Yeah. Or remember the big ones that kind of like –

Claire: That’s what I mean. The huge Bluetooth headset.

Joy: Right.

Claire: With the belt hook for your cell phone.

Joy: Yeah, the belt hook for the cell phone – there’s a certain type of person that wears those and loves them.

Claire: That’s what I mean. I feel like the person who had the early-adopter Bluetooth microphone and the person who wore a cell phone belt loop, the Venn diagram of those two people was a lot of overlap.

Joy: A lot of overlap. Agreed. What’s the biggest phone that you had size wise?

Claire: I mean, my current phone is very large. But that’s not what you mean. You mean like the most brick size that I had.

Joy: Yeah, we’re not talking iPhone slim.

Claire: My first phone was a Motorola flip phone that had an antenna that pulled out.

Joy: Oh yeah, I had that too. Oh my gosh, it’s like Clueless.

Claire: Yes.

Joy: “What up, Dee?” 

Claire: It did flip, so it wasn’t just the entire brick. But my dad had a car phone.

Joy: Yeah,
