Lee ElbersonGUEST
You know, Jay, I'm gonna join in with you here.
Lee ElbersonGUEST
Yes, we've, kids have the most addictive piece of technology in their pocket, and honestly, I'll just go even so far as to say every school should implement those Yondr pouches.
Lee ElbersonGUEST
If the phone is in their pocket or in their vicinity, you're already distracted.
Lee ElbersonGUEST
Every single adult listening right now knows this.
Olivia YokubonisGUEST
This is a technol- [laughs] a technological issue, something that, that has been designed to capture our attention all day, every day.
Olivia YokubonisGUEST
And I'm really curious also about your thoughts on the phone bans and things like Yondr pouches.
Olivia YokubonisGUEST
All of that is coming up as what we assume to be a solution, but it doesn't teach kids how to regulate their, their feelings and their emotions without...
Olivia YokubonisGUEST
You know, it, it takes away a problem that will just be given back to them later without a real solution.
Diane BodenHOST
Yeah.
Diane BodenHOST
Uh, I didn't know about the...
Diane BodenHOST
Is the Yondr pouch, is that what you get when you go to a comedy show or something?
Olivia YokubonisGUEST
Yes.
Paul BourgetGUEST
But overall, you know, we're holding our breath, but things are moving along.
Paul BourgetGUEST
Um, the phones are in the Yondr pouches.
Roger BouchardHOST
[laughs]
Paul BourgetGUEST
We don't have the complaints.
Paul BourgetGUEST
Um, you know, in, in trying to be proactive of, of course, you know, we, um, we, we, we work very closely with our SROs, with the Woonsocket Police.
Paul BourgetGUEST
We work very closely, obviously, with, with our, our, our school staff, um, wi- with respect to, um, you know, our, our social workers, our psychologists, um, our assistant principals.
Paul BourgetGUEST
So, you know, and, and we, the, the, the, the cell phone, um, you know, situation with, uh, the implementation of the Yondr pouches, I think has been very helpful.
Paul BourgetGUEST
Um, uh, un- unfortunately, um, in, in this, in our, in our, in our society, you know, we, we have...
Sarah GardnerGUEST
Yes.
Sarah GardnerGUEST
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say, is that for the school you put it in a Yondr, which is like that packet.
Sarah GardnerGUEST
Now they have their, um, the like, uh, you know how different adults volunteer to be like the parking, um, leaders-
Nikki PetroskiHOST
Oh, the gear
Sarah GardnerGUEST
... or the door monitors, right? And they wear all the gear.
Sarah GardnerGUEST
And now it's like you have the Yondr monitor-
Nikki PetroskiHOST
Really? [laughs]
Sarah GardnerGUEST
... at our gate, and he's just like, "Yondr, Yondr, Yondr, Yondr." I'm like-
Joe BasileGUEST
Actually, I kinda want them to shut up, so let me just change the, the parameters on their Instagram so they can have fun."
Clint OlivierHOST
It's very similar situation, I think, to the Yondr pouch situation in our public schools.
Joe BasileGUEST
100%.
Clint OlivierHOST
Uh, if you're not aware, a couple of years ago, I think Bullard High was the first one to start it, uh, using the Blondr- the Yondr pouches, making the kids, as they enter the campus, you plop the cellphone, the iPhone, um, the Google Android, whatever, into, into the Yondr pouch.
Clint OlivierHOST
It's sealed and is locked away until the school bell rings-
Joe BasileGUEST
Mm-hmm
Clint OlivierHOST
Okay, fair enough.
Joe BasileGUEST
Sure.
Josh ChristensenHOST
They're now like sworn...
Josh ChristensenHOST
They're under NDA, so they can't say anything about it specifically, and everyone had to lock their phones in Yondr pouches and all of that.
Josh ChristensenHOST
But we'll get to see it in October.
Josh ChristensenHOST
Uh, I think we need to do a screening at the office.
Ryan BaileyHOST
So you can s- see everything had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival Sunday night, and I'm gonna read you some of the reviews, even though no spoilers, I don't even wanna be spoiled by this.
Ryan BaileyHOST
Everybody had to put their phones and devices into a Yondr pouch.
Ryan BaileyHOST
Uh, nobody even knew what the secret screening for Telluride was.
Ryan BaileyHOST
People suspected but didn't know.
Bobby BonesHOST
Oh, that's so frustrating-
Mark NormandGUEST
The Yondr bag
Bobby BonesHOST
... that you have to watch to see if people are using their phones during a show.
Mark NormandGUEST
All the time.
Imani MoiseHOST
Do bans actually work at getting kids off their phones, though?
Julie JargonGUEST
There was just recently a very large study done of about five thousand schools that have adopted the Yondr lockable pouches.
Julie JargonGUEST
And they found that even though kids can sometimes find workarounds and cut into the pouches or find other ways to hack that kind of situation, that it really did curb personal phone use during the day.
Julie JargonGUEST
The percentage of students who used phones in class for personal reasons dropped from sixty-one percent to thirteen percent.
Bobby BonesHOST
Oh, that's so frustrating-
Mark NormandGUEST
The Yondr bag?
Bobby BonesHOST
... that you have to watch to see if people are using their phones during a show.
Mark NormandGUEST
All the time.
