(Incoherent taking on other side of phone)

Hey, James. This is James from the future.

Just wanted you to give you a call and let you know that,

Puberty can be tough, but, you can get through it.

I grew up in a generation where smartphones where a new thing.

My parents never got me one because they didn't want me to access the Internet

because they were super strict and didn't want me looking at...

In fact, I didn't even get my first cellphone

Now as an adult who uses his cellphone everyday,

If I was ever in a situation where I needed to call my parents

I would just ask the nearest person if I could borrow their phone

Now if there's are any parents watching this who haven't given their children a cellphone yet,

Take it from a guy on the internet with no children.

You can just give them your standard drug dealer phone.

But you should at least give them a cellphone in case there's an emergency

The only downside I can think of giving your child a phone is:

They'll end up spending TOO much time on it

So.. you should just turn off their service from time to time I don't know.

When I turned 16 and finished up my sophomore year of high school

I didn't grow up in the 90s... Tha- everyone else had iphones

But I was the only one with a fli- with a phone that had a keyboard on it.

and with that cellphone, I've had a couple of incidentses

Where sometimes a random person would call me

And that's how you segway into the theme of this month's video.

This first story happened when I was working at Sooubway. (Not Subway)

#SOOUBWAY 4. It wasn't good enough to be in the other 3.

So it was 5 minutes until closing and we get a phone call on the Sooubway phone.

"UGHHHHH..Thank for calling Sooubway. How may I help you?"

But I wasn't about to tell this random stranger my name...

Anyway, the other person on the line said,

time do you guys close in five minutes is it alright if I show up late I just

Idiot: "Is it alright if I show up late? I just need gas."

I was totally willing to make this guy's sandwich over the phone,

and then I wouldn't ring him up and just pocket the money.

So I said, "Yeah I can do that. What kind of sandwich do you want?"

This sandwich will give you plenty of gas. I... I mean, do you want chips or something?"

"Okay, yes. So, you'll get gas, then are you gonna stop by and pick up a sandwich?"

Even though the first thing I ever said to this guy was:

I think he thought he was talking to a gas station.

And I never got the chance to tell him that gas pumps don't close.

This next story happened when I was at home

and I got a call from a number I didn't recognize

they don't answer the phone to any number they don't recognize.

What if it's your bank calling saying your account got hacked?

What if it's your grandma 'cause why would you have her saved in your phone?

Or what if it's your Nigerian uncle who wants to give you his collection of gold

bars and needs your information for a wire transfer?

You just never know, so I always pick up the phone.

So, I answered it and it was this woman asking for a Lawrence.
