Because in addition to making this shows, I do podcasts and I have to end zoom sessions with writers and I They're always trying to talk me through how to get on my computer.

And I've come to realize at this later stage in my life that I'm awful.

I'm the worst.

How are you at this terrible?

And I have no excuse.

I was born in the age of the well, not born.

I lived a young life in the age of the Internet.

I feel like more is expected from me.

Yes, E.

I have an excuse.

I have an excuse.

I was born in 1944.

You, you thief computer.

You know, I saw my first computer.

We e I had the steam powered kind that you could crank in college.

And so this is newer to me.

You have no excuse.

You have no excuse being attacked.

But it's changing so fast.

I feel like I've gotten I'm in this time I'm getting a crash course in how every grand parent has felt for the last 20 some odd years.

But There's so many different platforms.

There's so many ways to screw it up.

I accidentally got a new computer and was trying to, you know, put all the old stuff on the new thing and accidentally disposed of.

A bunch of important files, just permanently deleted them.

The things that run the thing off the computer.

I don't know how to send.

I can't remember to say this.

I don't know how to send emails from a computer.

I only know No, Wait a minute.

That's just wait a minute.

No, that's yes E yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

You can see it but you.

But the way that it's displayed and the chains and I can't figure out how to respond to the right email in the chain, I just It's bad.

It's really bad.

I'm sorry.

You are worse than I thought.

I consent an email and receive an email.

Um, that's about it.

That's all I could Dio, But But the fact that you're struggling with that means there's other things.

I have 13,000 unready emails, so I'm it's reaching a dire breaking.

Do you have people in your family like are your parents like my my my dad actually is is really up there.

But he can.

He's pretty good at a computer.

My mother never even tried.

Is your mom any good at this stuff?

I was just about to say so.

My dad right there with May.

My mom.

Undercover Internet sleuth like undercover could maybe work for the government level of Internet sleuth.

She has I some kind of wicked Google alert out there on me.

She sees everything, Anything.

Most of the time before I've seen it had become aware of it.

My mother, though, has started doing this thing where she finds everything.

But she knows that I don't know how to find most of it.

So she will, for example, if somebody is being quite rude about an outfit that I wore on a red carpet, you know, she takes that kind of personally, and I think she wants to help me.

So she'll she'll call me and she'll go.

Uh, you know, Rachel, I thought you looked so beautiful last night.

I love to dress.

I love the color.

I just thought that maybe if you had worn a different shoe say, a strappy sandal or or Ah, or a bracelet.

A different accessory.

It would have really popped.

Meanwhile, I'm getting simultaneously tweeted at by the website going if she just worn a different She was happy Pandora bracelet.

Just like yes, mother.

First of all, I love you.

Call her mother.

Mother, please.

I could go.

I can top that with because my mother back in the day and she wouldn't get this off the Internet.

But she would read things in the paper that were not nice about me.

And then she would call me and she'd say, Well, I don't care And it was stuff that I would not have seen because I'm probably like you.

I don't read stuff about myself, you know?

And she Exactly.

And my mother, who was well intentioned, would call me up and go.

Well, I don't care what they say.

I don't think your shrill and unfunny e didn't know.

It should be like, Well, apparently the Boston Herald Tribune Think so.

But that's the last time I read their paper on.

I'm like, Well, okay, now I know, too.

And I feel like shit.

So everybody's happy.

Everybody's content.

I am glad for that reason I know it enough, unfortunately to see the to see the mean tweets and the good tweets and you know, to have figured out that they all cancel each other out.

But it's got to be so hard for parents.

It's not so hard for parents, no matter who you are or what you do if you have.

If you're public basing in any way, people are gonna be mean.

I know I don't know how.

I mean first you know it.

I have two kids who are 17 and 15, and if someone wrote something mean about them, they're not in the public eye.

But if I even heard about saying someone something, something mean about them, I'd go crazy.

Uh, my parents seemed oddly okay with no one could be with.
