Click Voice and Audio under the filter. You can actually hear recordings of your own voice from past Google searches. I pulled up mine and found clips going all the way back to 2019.

You know that glow that you see on people just seemed to radiate health. It's not just great lighting. It's what's happening inside their body
2:03and one of the best kept sewers to looking and feeling amazing is collagen. You see, as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, thinning hair, brittle nails, and just feeling less flexible than we used to. But the good news is that you can support your body naturally. With high quality collagen from native path, you're giving your body the building blocks that needs to support smoother looking skin, stronger nails and shinier hair. And some studies also suggest collagen supplements may help support bone health too. You see, it's not about turning back time. I know we want to do that, but we just can't. It's about filling your best tip any age. And right now, as a Kim Comando listener, you can get native path collagen for just a fraction of the retail price plus free shipping in a free gift bundle. Just go to getnativepath.com slash Kim. That's getnativepath.com slash Kim. These statements have nothing evaluated by the food and drug administration.

3:04I'm fabulous telling great jokes as always and helping the world. So what could be better than that? I am. So what's on your mind? Well, I've got a teenage son. So obviously he's a new driver. And not that I want him to track him or anything, but I want to know where he is in case, you know, something happened. Hold on, Chad. Hold on. Why would you say that caveat? Not like I'm trying to track him. Yes, you are trying to track him. You're going to track him when he's upstairs, when he's downstairs, down the street, at the store, at school. You're going to track him everywhere. You know, everywhere this kid's going to go. Free phrase that. I want to track this boy. So he thinks I'm standing behind him on every single corner in this country. And I want to make sure that he doesn't stray into the bedside town. Exactly. Well, I've tried that, but there are against putting leases on your kids. He wanted to try a joke.
4:09Yeah, so you need to track him. Yeah, absolutely do. Yeah, I tracked my son when he was a teenager. I knew where we went. Till he figured out that he could hide the tracker and somebody else's car. Right. But he's always going to have his phone on him. And there's simply, you know, you could use the iPhone app. That's what I do now. But they can turn that off, put it in an airplane mode. And you also have to be proactive. You have to open up the find me to see where there are. But then there's other apps out there. If they move a muscle, it gives you an update. Yes. So you've got find my, you've got Android. Live 360. We've got bark. But you know, some of these live 360s, you know, they also sell the driving patterns. Right, exactly. And that's what I had read on your website. And so that's why I'm calling in to check and see what the best one is. Well, see, you can put an air tag in the car, but does he have an iPhone? No, Android. OK, that's good.
5:09He won't detect it. He won't detect it. But his bodies or his girlfriend, when the minute they jump in the car, they're going to know what's going on. All right, so where's the air tag? There's an air tag in here. There are GPS trackers. And we can point some out to you on Amazon that will not be detected. Can I push back, though, on the fact that my live 360 is going to sell your driving patterns? But guess who else is going to sell my? My Clash Royale app is going to sell it. And my chess app is going to sell it. And my newspaper app is going to sell it. But you know, Pokemon Go for years was collecting data and now they're selling every single one of you. And never would have thought that that was the case. They've been cut selling to insurance companies. That's what I read. Well, the insurance companies, if they're not going to get it from 360, they're going to get it from somewhere else. They're going to raise the rates. Of course, they're going to get it from somewhere. There's, you've got gas, buddy, and a few other ones. Right. But, you know, but here's the thing. How old is he? 16? 17. 17. All right.
6:12You know, there's pros and cons to this. Is he a, is he a, is he a troublemaker type of kid? No, straight A's and everything. Okay, then you know what? I put an air tag in his car at that because he's straight A's and say, listen, I'm going to track the car. I'm going to track you. I want to know where you go and when I wear your hat, case something bad happens. I want to know. Right. I mean, you know, when you remember, you're paying for the car, you're buying the gas and you're paying for the insurance. Right. When he wants to pay for his own car and insurance, then he doesn't have the tracker. Doesn't, that sound like I say that a lot because I do. Okay. Just saying. And, you know, Ian seems to be okay with it. And it's actually kind of a weird thing because sometimes he'll say, you know, where are you? And I'll say, well, in the studio, he's like, yeah, but I can't find you and find my friends. I'm like, oh, you're fine. I can track me now. But I don't, I don't feel like I'm so argumentative today.
7:12You are. But you don't think that Apple is going to realize that that air tag is in a motor vehicle by the speeds that it travels than locations it goes. Apple says they're not going to sell anything like that. Well, then I take it all back because Apple says that your privacy is important to them. Also, profits are important to them. And maybe a little bit more important than your privacy. Do you think? I think. Well, so Chad, I would just put an air tag in it. It would be the cheapest and simplest way. 25 bucks. Yeah. This is where it's at. You know, and there's also Android Tracker's tile. You go to tile tracker in there too, which is owned by, are you ready for it? Life 360. Wow. Isn't that funny? That's crazy how that works. So you might want to use a pebble tracker if you're worried about all that stalking and track. But it just, every time you turn around, so he's tracking you. Yeah, they're tracking you and selling it no matter what. Hey, want to stay in the tech now without wasting your time? Join nearly a million folks who get my free newsletter,
