In this episode, we’re counting down the top six backgrounds that’ll have you getting side-eye like it’s a reality show reunion. From family pics that scream “I’m a proud parent!” to the classic “default” that says “I give up,” we’ve got all the juicy details. Spoiler alert: if your background features anything from today’s list, you might just be judged harder than a contestant on a cooking show! So, get ready to laugh and maybe rethink your wallpaper choices!

Takeaways:

  • Ever judge someone based on their phone background? Turns out 14% of folks do!
  • If your phone background is just the default, you might be seen as uncreative. Yikes!
  • Photos of kids scream 'I love my family,' but also might get you judged hard!

  • Number one on the list of backgrounds likely to get you judged? A Texas Longhorns logo!

Transcripts

Speaker A:

It's haystack.

Speaker A:

And have you ever judged somebody based on their phone background?

Speaker A:

Be honest now.

Speaker A:

They set their phone down, the screen lights up.

Speaker A:

Suddenly you're doing a full psychological evaluation like you're an FBI agent but with lower standards.

Speaker A:

This new survey finds 14% of people admit that they judge others based on their phone background.

Speaker A:

And about the same number think the image reveals something about your personality which is ridiculous and completely true.

Speaker A:

I mean, if your background is your kids, it says I love my family.

Speaker A:

If it's a mountain, that says I went hiking once and need you to know about it.

Speaker A:

If it's your dog, it says this is the only creature in my house who respects me.

Speaker A:

If it's a glamour shot of yourself, it says that your phone needs a mirror and a restraining order.

Speaker A:

The most popular background family members, actually especially kids.

Speaker A:

And, and the ranking in this survey, family members came first.

Speaker A:

Then nature, memories, pets, the default options, romantic partners and pop culture stuff.

Speaker A:

And I don't, I'm shocked that romantic partners came in less than default options.

Speaker A:

And the funniest one to me is default background because you, you would think that one would be safe.

Speaker A:

But in this survey, no people judge that too.

Speaker A:

Oh, it means you're.

Speaker A:

It means you're uncreative, you're uninspired, you lack creativity or.

Speaker A:

Oh, well, that makes sense.

Speaker A:

That shows you're practical and minimal.

Speaker A:

Oh, goodness.

Speaker A:

I don't.

Speaker A:

Maybe I'm not inspired because yes, I am a default background guy.

Speaker A:

Maybe I'm not inspired.

Speaker A:

I do lots of goofy stuff on the radio for a living, so I think I've got at least a little bit of a creative bone in my body.

Speaker A:

Look, maybe I just never figured out where the setting is and I've built my life around pretending it's intentional.

Speaker A:

Don't judge me.

Speaker A:

But again, 14% of Americans will judge you for what is on your phone background.

Speaker A:

I am willing to bet though that that number will go up, that it's more than 14% if your phone background features anything from today's list of the phone backgrounds most likely to get you judged.

Speaker A:

Best way to start your day.

Speaker A:

These six jokes he's about to say listen up for old hay spag to crack open the mooring six pack the top six phone backgrounds most likely to get you ju judged.

Speaker A:

Coming in at number six, a photo of your kid.

Speaker A:

Not, not just the one that you had with the maid behind your wife's back, that kid.

Speaker A:

r five, a Trump My Pillow Guy:

Speaker A:

Number four, a Close Up Selfie taken at a funeral where you're making duck face.

Speaker A:

Don't laugh and not think that that's happened.

Speaker A:

I've seen it in person.

Speaker A:

Duck face at a funeral.

Speaker A:

Duck face.

Speaker A:

Selfie.

Speaker A:

Not.

Speaker A:

Okay, number three.

Speaker A:

Graham Platner's chest tattoo, Number two.

Speaker A:

A selfie with Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker A:

Number yes, that's number two.

Speaker A:

These are the top six phone backgrounds most likely to get you judged.

Speaker A:

And a selfie with Jeffrey Epstein is number two, which makes you go.

Speaker A:

What's number one?

Speaker A:

Well, number one is, of course, a Texas Longhorns logo.

Speaker A:

Texas.
