It started with a story that left everyone in the studio both confused and slightly creeped out.
Morgan said her sister had just gotten a new iPhone and experienced something strange while FaceTiming. According to Morgan, they were chatting when her sister set the phone down to put on her shoes and suddenly, the FaceTime camera started zooming in on her private parts all by itself. Everyone immediately reacted the same way: wait, what? How? Why?
Morgan swore it was true. “It started zooming in on her butt,” she said. “She turned around, and the camera starting zooming in, in another place. It was the most bizarre thing.” Bobby admitted he’d never heard of an iPhone doing that, and wondered out loud if maybe Morgan isn't telling the truth. Turns out, there is a new feature called Center Stage, which automatically keeps people in frame when they move during FaceTime or video calls. The idea is that the camera pans and zooms slightly to make sure you stay centered, kind of like having your own personal camera operator. The problem is, it’s supposed to follow your face, not your… other features. “It’s not called Center Boobs or Center Butt,” Bobby joked. Morgan said once she pointed out what was happening, the camera immediately stopped. That only made it creepier. “It’s like it knew we caught it,” she said. While it’s possible her sister had accidentally turned the feature on without realizing it, the whole thing still felt unsettling. “I think we just got unlucky,” Morgan guessed. “The camera probably couldn’t figure out what it was looking at.”
That led to a bigger question—are people actually watching us through our phones? Bobby admitted he’s paranoid about it. “If I have to pee and my phone’s nearby, I cover it with a napkin,” he said. “People could be watching.” Eddie even noticed times when he unlocks his phone and sees the camera light flash on for a second before turning off again. “It makes me think someone’s in there,” he joked. Maybe it’s just a glitch or maybe not.
Once the group stopped laughing about Morgan’s sister’s iPhone incident, Eddie shared something weird that happened to him recently, too, although this one had nothing to do with technology. He was at a coffee shop ordering his usual drink when the barista made a comment that caught him off guard. “You know how when you’re listening to music and pause it, the album artwork stays on your phone screen?” Eddie said. “Well, I had my phone out, and the barista looks at it and goes, ‘Oh, were you listening to Blink-182?’ I said yeah, and he goes, ‘Wow… that’s cool.’”
The comment was simple enough, but the tone threw Eddie off. Was the guy surprised that an older dude like him was listening to Blink-182? Was he being sincere? Sarcastic? “I didn’t know whether to be offended or not,” Eddie said. The rest of the show tried to analyze it. Bobby thought it depended on how the barista said it. If he emphasized the word “you,” as in “You were listening to Blink-182?” then maybe he was surprised. “Maybe he thought you were too old for that band,” Bobby teased. Eddie said the guy looked young, probably early twenties, and he wasn’t sure if the comment was about age or music taste. Bobby pointed out that Blink-182 isn’t exactly new, so it shouldn’t be shocking that anyone over 30 listens to them. But Eddie couldn’t shake how strange the exchange felt. “I left the coffee shop thinking, what was that about? Should I be offended right now?” he joked.
From an iPhone zooming where it shouldn’t to coffee shop confusion, it was one of those classic show conversations that started weird and got weirder, but also made everyone think a little. Between AI cameras, privacy concerns, and generational music gaps, it’s probably safe to say technology isn’t just changing how we live, it’s changing how we feel about being watched, heard, or even judged for what’s on our playlists.
