| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. My name is Jared Lopes. I'm the founder of Dad Tired. I'm also one of the hosts here on the show. For the last four months, I have not seen social media. That's probably been the longest time I've ever gone without actually seeing any social media since social media was invented. I was probably, I was like on MySpace. That's actually how I met my wife, MySpace, |
| 0:22.0 | as embarrassing as that is. I met my wife on MySpace. I was on Facebook and Instagram and, |
| 0:29.3 | you know, other social media platforms. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, I haven't been on |
| 0:34.3 | social media and I haven't been on news for the last four months. I'll dive into why I made the decision and how that's impacted me over the last four, I guess actually |
| 0:44.3 | coming up on five months now. It's impacted me in a really good way. But sometimes I feel like |
| 0:49.5 | I have my head in the sand in the sense of like news. Like I don't,'t I don't I don't have any idea what's going on |

| 1:19.6 | so that your kids can watch the news every day. |
| 1:22.6 | And it's all faith-based. |
| 1:24.6 | And it's, they have integrity in their journalism, which is amazing. |
| 1:29.2 | They're not taking any political stances or doctrinal, doctrinal stances. |
| 1:34.6 | They're just telling you the facts of what's happening around the world. |
| 1:38.7 | And they do it in these 10-minute videos on the app every day. |
| 1:41.3 | And their app allows you to watch like Apple TV, Roku, your Android, |
| 1:46.1 | your iPhones, whatever. But you can watch these 10-minute kind of recaps every day of what's |
| 1:51.2 | happening around the world. And again, it's made for kids. And so you can feel confident |
| 1:55.4 | putting this in front of your kids, let your guard down, and you know that the content is |
