Just saw Joe Rogan, cellphones bagged in yondr. (1 Viewer)

3A) If you are out for the evening and something happens to your child, what are you going to do? Frantically race home and occupy prescious seconds of the babysitter's time instructing them what to do and who to call, if you even know yourself or are not too frantic to remember everything? Or do you want them to be on the phone with the police/emergency services/poison control/etc so the professionals can handle the situation? And once the situation is as under control as possible THEN worry about getting in touch with you?

I am not trying to be smarmy here, sincerely I'm not; but the reality is that unless you are an emergency trained professional you should invest far more time in vetting and training the people you trust to take care of your children than worrying about whether or not Joe Rogan is funny.

That's why I didn't get the emergency excuses.  Either it's not really an emergency and whoever is with the kids can't handle whatever it is or there is an emergency and you wouldn't be able to do jack about it anyway.

It seems there are a few misconceptions here:

2) I don't believe the sleeve blocks incoming wireless signals (4G, Bluetooth etc) so you can set your phone to vibrate and decide if you want to leave to check the message. IOW YOUR BABYSITTER CAN STILL REACH YOU! (I just sent an email to Yondr for confirmation about this and will update).

I just received a response from Yondr: 

Hey Chaka, the pouch only prevents you from accessing your phone. It does not interfere with signal.  

You can feel the phone vibrate through the pouch. There will also be Phone Use Ares in the lobby where you can check your phone.

So, if your phone starts vibrating like crazy you can assume your child is in mortal peril...or your Instagram keeps updating with more adorable Frenchie pics.

It would, but I'm guessing more like 80-90 percent of random people wouldn't know who he is.

I don't know who he is. I also don't know why it is relevant to the discussion. Seems like something to point out for those desperately grasping at anything and everything to justify a weak argument.

I hear you. You know how these discussions go off on tangents sometimes.

 
:lmao:  Maybe if some of you would cut the cord with your phones, you wouldn't be so oblivious with what's happening in the world.
Crazy idea: Smartphones are a tool to connect you with the world.

You know this is a whole different topic, but I really hate these ####### tech companies and they're cutesy answers like they're real people.

Nips> do you ever call in bets, old-school style? Or only gamble when you're in front of a laptop?

The social media #### is ####### insidious. It's designed to prey on you, to make you come back, check your notifications, over and over and over. I try hard to limit my phone to either gambling, listening to music or PODCASTS, or reading a book. Kind of a pain to read a book on a phone, but I typically have something on there to read in loo of Twitter or some ####.

No calling in bets. Place them on desktop. No social media except linkedin. Have an ipod nano. Read actual books.

 
I honestly thought yondr was a word Cav misspelled while drunk. Spent 3 days trying to figure out what it was. 

 
Joe Rogan is coming here in six weeks. IMHO, the policy is fine, but it needs to be prominently advertised on online pages like the one linked.

And ... I just clicked on the Ticketmaster link (yellow text to the left of Rogan's photo) and there's no mention of the Yondr bags there, either. Are you all certain that people are being warned before ticket purchase?

And no, it's not a common-knowledge thing-they-do-everywhere yet. So some kind of notice is needed.

(Possible Rogan's not doing it at every stop? State laws maybe vary?)

 
going to see him in two weeks. i think i might make this a tailgate event and watch all the phone addicts throw hissy fits at the metal detectors. could be fun :popcorn:

Be sure to abide by his many rules, else he may put you in time out.

It was one of the best shows I ever seen live.  Only better I can think of was Bill Burr in a small club and I had no idea who he was around 10 years ago.  He had me crying about when the Pacers went into the crowd and beat up the fans.  It happened the week before and he had at least 20 minutes on it that killed.

Also glad to see Otis seeking my attention in this thread.  He knows I have him on ignore so I will let him know I seen he tried and saw his quoted posts.  Only loser is his clients whom he probably billed 2k for his posts here.  Need to rack up those billable hours early in the year.  ;)

Atta boy.

Would likely be funnier than Rogan's set.... and I'm not very funny. :lol:  

So, that's a yes with the phones and clock radio when making teh whoopie?

I got to know, because I think this is unprecedented.  Why do you rag on a guy from Boston, that is pro gun and loves cars.  I just need to know.

 
FWIW....over the past couple months, I saw both Anthony Jeselnik and Jo Koi live....neither show did this dumb phone policy.

I didn’t realize it was still happening. I thought after Edie Murphy and Steven Wright and Seinfeld milked it, people didn’t do this anymore. 

I assume this Rogan guy also isn’t very funny. True?

Do you have Netflix? - there are stand up comedian specials all over their catalogue - there's at least 5 new ones each month it seems.

How would you solve this Issue? Neighbor keeps dogs off lease and they run around and do their business on other neighbors property.
