"They talk to me about their I-Pods.... what are I-Pods?????"

Kinda like what we had, but we called them transistor radios. Ours ran on 9-volt batteries and we used them to listen to AM radio stations. Ours cost 4.95, theirs cost 199.95. Theirs sound better than ours did, and instead of picking stations, they load their own favorite songs, but they're basically the same thing.
