Pick Me or Power Move? | It's Not That Deep Ep. 04

This episode starts with a simple question: does AD actually get in trouble, or does Edie just get annoyed easily? That debate quickly turns into a full breakdown of Do Not Disturb drama, Life360 surveillance, and whether a teenager’s phone is ever truly “on.” From there, we get high school flashbacks, including Edie’s strategic “birthday party” rager that somehow avoided real consequences, and AD’s very real meeting with the principal after an essay fluke. Was it cheating, or was it just Grammarly doing the most? We unpack the gray area between AI help and academic crime, and whether using tech to sound smarter is survival or scandal. Then things escalate. Bell calls in from the mall on a possible burner phone. Buck hands his kindergarten teacher fake $1,000 for show and tell. We spiral into TikTok clout economics, Hair by Chrissy’s $4,000 extension controversy, and whether going viral is genius marketing or public self-sabotage. Somewhere in the chaos, AD compares herself to Hester Prynne living in a Puritan society, Edie questions modern attention culture, and we debate if calling people out online is strategy, integrity, or just good business. It’s chaotic, it’s current, and it proves once again that no matter where we start, we are absolutely not staying on topic.   LETS GET SOCIAL: Edie: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson)   AD: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312)   It’s Not That Deep: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod)   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube – (https://www.youtube.com/@itsnotthatdeep_podcast) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective)
