00:00Right, so do you still use a landline?
00:02No, I have one, but I never use it.
00:04No.
00:05No.
00:06No. Why not?
00:07Because the standing charges are too high.
00:13Nobody else uses them.
00:15The last time I used it was...
00:19I think never. My apartment just came with one.
00:22I've never used it, never given out the number for it to anybody,
00:25so nobody really calls me on it.
00:27Nobody uses it.
00:29Nobody contacts me on it, so I have no reason to use it.
00:32Honestly, I don't know why it's sitting here, but I never use it.
00:36Early on in my life, I was born in 2005,
00:39so that's kind of when cell phones gained a lot of popularity,
00:44and I just noticed that no one was really talking about landlines anymore.
00:49I mean, my parents were quite old-fashioned, they still had one.
00:52Slowly but surely, people stopped using that,
00:54and then people just started using cell phones.
00:56We're just paying for the convenience of having a phone in the house.
01:00I'm just paying for it.
01:01We're just going to check it out and see if we can miss him.
01:02Excuse me?
01:03No, I'm going to have a place for now, and we should also see the top right now.
01:05Do it.
01:06You wait for this time.
01:07I will be missing and that's very close.
01:09You wait for it.
01:10That's not my next problem.
01:11I will be sure to tell you how it is,
01:12it's not my favorite thing,
01:13but I'm not really happy about you.
