1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,120
And I think that that this generation
now, I think that they're they're hungry

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,400
for real intimacy, and we had
that as a generation. We understood that,

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,439
and I think we were the last
real generation to understand that. And

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:20,199
that's sad to me. You know. Welcome to another deep dive edition of

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,039
the Chicks on the Right podcast.
Today we are going to toot our own

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,160
horns just a little bit, and
not just for ourselves, but for our

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,840
entire generation Gen X, which I
am officially dubbing the second Greatest generation.

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,759
I think so too deaf. I
agree wholeheartedly we are because we learned from

9
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:46,719
the greatest generation. We were like
under the tutelage to toot of the greatest

10
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:50,640
generation. And a Boomers, which
are also great. They're fine, right,

11
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,920
the Boomers are good and so but
I feel like ours was maybe the

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:04,599
last of the great generations when it
comes to loving our country and having and

13
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:10,680
having high standards placed upon us.
Right. Well, if you think about

14
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:15,920
it, we had a lot of
the innovators, the creators the think about

15
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:21,159
like you know, the the guys
and the women who invented a lot of

16
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,799
things, who created a lot of
things, who were like the the innovators

17
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,640
came from our generation, and there's
you don't see any more. I mean,

18
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,120
I'm sure there's really smart innovative people
like the Steve the Steve Jobs and

19
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:42,200
the Elon Muss and the you know, the Bezos and all that those are.

20
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,159
I mean these are, yeah,
but some of the people that are

21
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,200
really good at innovation are younger than
that. I mean, when I think

22
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560
about all the people that are involved
in AI, it's a young crowd.

23
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,439
It's just that they are doing very
destructive things. If you ask me,

24
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:57,719
they're gonna destroy the world. Yeah, they're gonna They're gonna kill us all

25
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,280
are I mean, I'm not talking
about like the guys who invented Twitter.

26
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,920
I'm talking about the guys who paid
the way for Twitter. Yeah, and

27
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,240
that was our that was our ja. We was just tougher man. I

28
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,199
mean, I personally am not like
a super tough person, like I would

29
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:19,599
never I would never win a street
fight. Ever, you're tough. You're

30
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:23,479
tough in a different way. Yeah, you're like you're you're mentally tough.

31
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,120
I mean I've been through things.
Oh yeah, you're definitely mentally tough.

32
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,360
I wouldn't be friends with you if
you are not mentally tough. You're mentally

33
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:37,360
like a warrior, but you're but
you and I together, like I'm the

34
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,240
person you'd probably be like, all
right, shall fight you. Like physically,

35
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:44,000
you would put me in front of
you if there was a physical fight,

36
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,400
but like mentally, i'd put you
toe to toe, like in a

37
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:53,719
war of the words, I'd put
you up against anybody. So yeah,

38
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,479
we're a great team. Yeah.
Well, there's been a trend all over

39
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,000
social media. Um and I remember, gosh, it was I feel like

40
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:06,479
it's been months now that we first
shared a TikTok of there's a TikTok account

41
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,319
by the name of gen x talks, and we'll share one of those a

42
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:13,479
little bit later in today's show.
But that was one of the first that

43
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:19,520
i'd seen where it's a it's a
gen zeer who has a gen X dad

44
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,840
and he just puts his dad on
the spot all the time to get the

45
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,120
perspective from a gen xer and this
guy has zero percent patients for his son.

46
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:30,240
And it's hilarious and so it's all
in good fun, but it just

47
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:37,599
does show you the difference between the
generations. And so we since TikTok has

48
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,080
been sort of the source of a
lot of these recent videos. There was

49
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,240
one that we showed in our morning
show earlier this week of a woman specifically

50
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:53,800
addressing the question from a very chiseled
gen Zeer or gen Wi or whatever a

51
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,000
younger guy could be a millennial millennial, Yeah, it could be millennial.

52
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,719
I don't know. He was asking
why he did you guys drink out of

53
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,919
hoses? And I thought her answer
who was fantastic. So let's kick off

54
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,520
this discussion with that same video.
Sure, when y'all are saying that you

55
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:18,199
all used to drink from the hose, were sinks? Not an option?

56
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,160
For fuck? Who's it gonna tell
him? You want me to tell him,

57
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,319
I'll tell him. We weren't allowed
in the house. I don't know

58
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:32,720
why that's so hard for people to
understand. Our childhood was like one never

59
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,720
any episode of that TV show Survivor. Okay, we are indestructible. We've

60
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:42,399
never sat in car seats, nobody's
ever given us swimming lessons. We've all

61
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,720
been either shot with a baby gun
or stabbed with a fucking jart. The

62
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,920
television stations had to make a commercial
reminding our parents that they had kids.

63
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,800
I shoot you not. Every night
on the ten PM news, a voice

64
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,800
would come on and say, it's
ten pm, do you know where your

65
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:03,199
children are? To remind our parents
that they had fucking kids? So no,

66
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:15,240
sir shirtless with the beanie thinks we're
on an option, so true.

67
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,240
Do you remember those Oh my gosh, I didn't until she mentioned them,

68
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,240
and then I was like, oh
my god, they really did. Now

69
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,759
they have to just remind parents to
not leave their kids in cars. That's

70
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,959
the new version of them in the
backseat right for the dumbass parents that do

71
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,600
that. And we're like, oh, those parents are dumbasses. But they

72
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,279
literally had to remind our parents that
they had us at ten pm, Like

73
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,160
do you not like have the ability
to look around and go are my kids

74
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,040
in the room with me? Like
are they even here? Because that's the

75
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,480
thing. We were also free range. That's the thing. That's what I

76
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
and my daughter is thirteen. You
know, you have your your son,

77
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,560
you're both of your sons are older, but um, but your youngest is

78
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,120
a little bit. Are my youngest
is thirteen? Your youngest is seventeen?

79
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,519
Yeah, seventeen, And so I
mean I look at her and all the

80
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,160
parents that are around me are so
much younger than me, So we're older

81
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,439
parents. And so sometimes I have
to like bite my tongue because I don't

82
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,360
fit in sometimes with some of these
other because there's a lot of millennial parents

83
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,800
that are parenting these twelve and thirteen
year old girls that we hang out with,

84
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,319
and so I do feel a little
out of place sometimes because I'm a

85
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,199
I'm a gen xer, and we
parent a little different than these some of

86
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,639
these millennial parents. We do,
we're a little we are a little more

87
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:40,000
free range parenting than some of these
millennial parents. And so you know,

88
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,959
we're like just do your own thing, make your own dinner, like do

89
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,600
We're not what we're expected to like
do these things for you, like figure

90
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:51,040
it out yourself, you know.
I mean that's where like other parents,

91
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:57,839
they don't coddle somewhere. It's a
little right because we and you and I

92
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,439
were not used to that, like
we were just an eras don't know with

93
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,480
your parents, and I mean,
your parents are exceptional human beings, just

94
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,839
like and I and just awesome parents. And I always joke about how I

95
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,079
want your I mean, my mom's
probably listening to this, and I love

96
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,160
my mother to death. But I
always joke about how I want your parents

97
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,519
to adopt me because they're just exceptional
parents. And I was asking them when

98
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,959
we were there, you know,
like how what do you do as parents?

99
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:26,399
Like how do you explain your awesome
parenting? Like talk to me about

100
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:29,639
your parenting? And your mom was
even like, we weren't that great,

101
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:33,360
you know, we really didn't do
anything that's special. We didn't we didn't

102
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,959
we didn't coddle the kids like I
don't even know if she used that word,

103
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,720
but I remember her saying, we
didn't do anything special. We just

104
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,240
were there, you know what I
mean. We just were sort of present.

105
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,480
But we let the kids free range, We let them do whatever they

106
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,839
just they just happened to turn out, okay, you know what I mean.

107
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:54,199
Like it's it's interesting the way that
she described it, because I think

108
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:58,199
she and your dad were probably a
lot a lot like a lot of other

109
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:03,160
parents in that generation where they didn't
coddle, they didn't like overly nurture.

110
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,439
They just were parents of gen xers, you know, in that in that

111
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,040
generation where we all just fended for
ourselves a little bit more. And now

112
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:20,959
we regard our parents as pretty cool
because we ended up like self sufficient and

113
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,920
independent and you know, rely on
ourselves, and we didn't. We're not

114
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,639
blaming the world for our problems.
We just were a different breed of human.

115
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Yeah, I think so too.
It's hot and you need my Pillow

116
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,879
two point zero that's right, Oh
my god, I totally do because I

117
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,960
am hot all the time, and
I will tell you they do cool me

118
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,720
off at night. I do.
I am sleeping better with my My Pillow

119
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,080
two point zero. It's really great. It's like they should market it towards

120
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:52,159
menopausal women, right, it's perfect. It helps, I'm telling you it

121
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,279
helps well. And I learned new
words because when I learned when I was

122
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,200
reading about the My Pillow two point
zero and they're like fabric, their temperature

123
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,759
regulating technology, the special fabric that
they use which actually dissipates heat and humidity.

124
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:09,960
That's why you get that cooling sensation
so you never have to you know,

125
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,720
flip it over constantly looking for it. But I did not know what

126
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,200
a gusset was, and so really
something I learned because in these the My

127
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:24,960
Pillow two point o version has a
knife edge seam, no gusset. Oh

128
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:30,320
yeah, so see now I know
that free. You're everybody wants to be

129
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,759
gusset free. You guys, you
don't want to guss it? Would you

130
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,320
want cuss It's on your pillow and
you're not going to get them with the

131
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,399
two colonial times a gusset. You
don't want that. You don't want that.

132
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,159
And by the way, the My
Pillow two point zero also has this

133
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:50,519
is another term that I like,
four different loft levels. So you know,

134
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,799
if you really want it super fat
and thick and firm, or if

135
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:56,080
you want it to have a lot
of give, you can choose. You

136
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,799
can choose the loft. What do
you like? What do you prefer?

137
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:07,720
I feel like I'm right in the
middle yea and firm, like I'm just

138
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:13,759
saying. And right now, you

145
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,559
taught independence at such early ages.
Now, granted, some I mean,

146
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,240
like our culture sucks so hard now
that in some ways that you and I

147
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:50,919
would probably love to parent that same
way we were parented. It's not possible

148
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,200
because the world is so unsafe in
so many ways. Yeah, but you

149
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:00,559
know it's true. Like we we
let ourselves into the house after school when

150
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,320
both of our parents were working their
full time jobs, and so I had

151
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:11,000
my mom gave me a leather like
it was a leather a necklace that had

152
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:16,600
a little it almost looked like a
Native American pouch, like a little leather

153
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:20,360
pouch that that I would hang around
my neck. And that is what I

154
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,600
wore my key in and I wore
it every single day. I think I

155
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:28,200
have it in like my third grade
photo. Yeah you do? You still

156
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,000
have it? Do You still don't
think you still have the lactual pouch.

157
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,600
But it was just this little triangular
leather pouch. And that's where my house

158
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,440
key went and my parents, you
know, I'd get home at what three,

159
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,879
three thirty whatever from school, and
then my parents wouldn't come until five

160
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,759
thirty or six o'clock, and I
had I knew that I was supposed to

161
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:50,279
get certain things done, homework,
whatever, And that's just how it was.

162
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:54,200
It's completely different than that now,
totally different, totally different. Now.

163
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,120
I was the same way, like
I was a latchkey kid. My

164
00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:01,120
parents the same way. I would
come in, and I remember there were

165
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:03,799
some days where like now, I
didn't have a thing around my neck,

166
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,679
but my parents would hide the key, like in the yard somewhere, and

167
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,159
there were days where I'm like,
oh shit, where's the key, Like

168
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,960
I couldn't find the key, and
so I was super adept at breaking into

169
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,399
my own gosh, Like I remember
going into the back and we had a

170
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,360
three story house at the time,
Like we had a basement and a main

171
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:24,679
floor and then an upper floor.
It was like a tall house. And

172
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,600
I remember going to the back,
like climbing up onto the deck of the

173
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:33,799
main floor and breaking into my kitchen
because I couldn't find the key. And

174
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,000
I'm like, well, I gotta
get into the house because I mean,

175
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,559
I gotta do the stuff. I
gotta make my mac and cheese. I

176
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,120
got a right, I gotta watch, you know, the things in the

177
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:48,279
all the afternoon shows exactly, And
this is I remember breaking into my own

178
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,960
house, and like, can you
imagine if somebody would have seen a kid

179
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,840
like in because there are people backed
up to our house, like in the

180
00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:58,360
backyard you can see other houses.
Can you imagine watching a kid breaking into

181
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,120
their kitchen or just anybody, But
most people would call it cops. I

182
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,480
can't believe I didn't go to jail
breaking in. Your parents didn't from neglecting

183
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,759
you. That's what would happen now
exactly today they my parents, You're right,

184
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:16,039
my parents are. They go to
jail for a plethora of reasons.

185
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,639
Like just I would sit on my
dad's lap and steer the car like through

186
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,399
a busy neighborhood. I was like
nine years old, and I would do

187
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,679
this. I mean, the things
that they allowed us to do and just

188
00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:37,759
and not to mention, like just
being outside until ungodly, like I don't

189
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:41,039
know, nine o'clock at night,
and I would be out. I can't,

190
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:45,360
I would never let and you'd be
gone. We'd be gone from daily,

191
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,919
yeah, all day until it turned
dark all day and then sometimes a

192
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,399
little after dark. And there was
never a worry, there was never checking

193
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:58,320
in. Everybody knew that everybody else
other everybody else's parents were sort of all

194
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:01,440
kind of watching, looking out for
the kids. But we would often go

195
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,679
to the park that was like blocks
and blocks away, or a swimming pool

196
00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:07,480
there was blocks and blocks away a
mile or two, and you didn't nobody

197
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,600
thought twice about that. Everybody just
expected the kids could handle being kids on

198
00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:16,120
their own, and we did,
and that they and you had no idea,

199
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,879
like your parents had no idea if
you were fed or watered or alive.

200
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:26,480
I mean, it's like exactly like
you were gone all twelve hours were

201
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:31,480
fine, and then it was completely
fine, and then you know, they'd

202
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:35,639
for some you would just be called
home by some call, like there'd be

203
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:41,039
somebody who would whistle for you or
like scream for you in the neighborhood.

204
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,720
And then all the kids would just
come home from that mom call, Like

205
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:46,360
there'd be some mom in the neighborhood
or somebody you would just call it some

206
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,240
bill that would get you in the
neighborhood. You'd come home and then you'd

207
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,320
be like, all right, I'm
home, you know, Either that or

208
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,080
it would be dinner, Like maybe
sometimes I'd come home for dinner, but

209
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,399
I mean for the most part,
we were just so incredibly free range,

210
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,519
and I guess, you know,
that's we were just really resilient in that

211
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:07,440
respect. It was different, so
different back then. I don't know.

212
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,440
I look at my daughter, I'm
like, would she be able to do

213
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,480
that? I don't I don't know
if my thirteen year I guess maybe.

214
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:16,600
I don't know, if she'd try
to do that. It just would be

215
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:20,799
such a different experience for her than
what it is right now. Because now

216
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:26,480
I feel like kids their days are
so planned. Everything is so like you

217
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:28,519
have to do this at this time
and this at this time, and then

218
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:33,000
you have this activity and that activity, and we didn't have that, you

219
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,679
know, even like with sports and
all that kind of stuff. I even

220
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:41,519
think sports now it's completely yeah,
it's utterly, totally and completely different.

221
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,759
And I don't know it's better.
It's I don't think it's better because I

222
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,080
was able to play and do a
lot of different things when I was younger.

223
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:54,039
Now it's like you have to pick
your sport and you have to you

224
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:56,600
know, if you're you have to
be really good at it, and it's

225
00:15:56,919 --> 00:15:58,679
you have to pick one thing to
be good at. And I don't know,

226
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,840
if that's I don't think that that's
necessarily better. I think it was

227
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:04,799
greater for us because we could try
a lot of different things and do a

228
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,960
lot of different things, and meet
a lot of different people. And I

229
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,480
think it was better for kids back
then because they didn't have to be freaking

230
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:18,759
adults at age thirteen. And you
know, remember, I know you did

231
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:22,039
this too, I just know it. So there's a six year split between

232
00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:25,320
me and my sister. And whenever
there was a road trip, not only

233
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,720
were there no seat belts in the
back seat, but we also had a

234
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:32,960
hatchback at one point, and we
would lay the hatchback seats down and we

235
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,519
would create this giant bed in the
back with all kinds of snacks and blankets

236
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:41,600
and everything fill out. And then
we would also dress imaginary line between the

237
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,879
two of us, and if she
dared cross the line, it was hell

238
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,759
to god, it was like hell
on earth, Hell on earth. Not

239
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:52,159
only that, but my mom,
like I remember, my mom and dad

240
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:55,360
would give us like say, they
gave you like each a cookie? Yeah,

241
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:57,279
you know, and then I would
like horrid mine, I'd like,

242
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,120
I'd I'd be China, I was
eating it, and I'd hoard it,

243
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,080
and my sister would eat hers,
and I'd be like, oh, I

244
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,599
still have some left. I still
have some cookie left. I mean we

245
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,640
would torment the crap out of each
other on those car rides. It would

246
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,119
just be like picking and edgy.
And then I would ride in the back

247
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,359
window. We had an Oldmobile Sedan. It was like white with a baby

248
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,640
blue top. It was the most
hideous car back then. I think it

249
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:29,039
was like really beautiful, but it
was. It was so hideous by today's

250
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:32,400
standards. And I would ride in
the back on the left window of that

251
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,160
car. Yeah yeah, I mean
right, that had the way back and

252
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,480
the wood, Yeah, the wood. You would sit facing the driver behind

253
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:45,160
you, right. If you were
in the way back, that seat faced

254
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,200
out the window. And so I
mean it's completely now. Imagine if you

255
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,359
were building your little back seat paradise, you know what I mean, and

256
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,680
you weren't you weren't seat belted,
your parents would get arrested. They would

257
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,640
get pulled over and take it and
it would be all kinds of child abuse

258
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,039
charges. Oh my god. It's
kind of like car seats. When I

259
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:07,799
bought my my daughter's first car seat, I was like, wait, there

260
00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:12,279
are different kinds and you have to
put it backwards and then forwards. What

261
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:18,119
what didn't even don't understand I know
exactly. My seat belt was my mom's

262
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,839
arm, like you know what I
mean, like we'd stopped. I remember

263
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:29,359
we had this old um the VW
Beatles. Do you remember those VW Beatles?

264
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,200
And I remember when I was itty
bitty, I was like six when

265
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,880
this happened and we got pulled over
by a cop because it was too noisy.

266
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,839
It was making a car. I
just remember it was, Yeah,

267
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,319
the car was too noisy. I
think it was just making too much noise.

268
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,319
It was such a piece of shit
and we got pulled over and I

269
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,640
was just like, what is going
on? And we got pulled over because

270
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,680
of the It was just so I
think it was just so awful that something

271
00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:53,960
was wrong with it. I remember
I'm like, are you like, are

272
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,559
she going too fast? And I
think he was just like something wrong with

273
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:00,680
your far man, and like it
was like I don't know, I just

274
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:06,000
turned out the radio right exactly.
It was so now when you went on

275
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:08,400
car trips and you went on road
trips and you got to your destination,

276
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:12,240
this is another thing I think is
so funny because like nowadays, I would

277
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,799
never let my daughter because we live
in Texas and ever since she was itty

278
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:21,480
bitty and I've had skin cancer like
removed from my face and so I'm really

279
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:25,519
hypersensitive to that. But I would
never let my daughter go out without like

280
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:33,680
gobs of sunscreen, baby oil and
the elector plate. Right, it's like

281
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:38,839
tinfoil, tinfoil on cardboard. You'd
like put it on cardboard and like shove

282
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,400
it in front of your face and
you can get completely fried. I had

283
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,680
so many like blisters on my body, like so many times I'd be like,

284
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,079
no, it's fine, it's fine, just give it a couple of

285
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,039
days. Fine, it's fine.
I have third degree burns, but I'm

286
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:55,359
fine. I'm totally fine. And
it's gonna look savage in like three days,

287
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,839
it's gonna be great. It's fine. And then remember the sun in

288
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,119
Yes, like we didn't get highlights
in our hair. We didn't go to

289
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,720
hairdressers to get highlights. Well you
lemon and it was orange and we liked

290
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:15,279
it. Yeah, no, wonder
Donald Trump as orange child? Exactly right.

291
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:21,759
I got the greatest package from Omaha
Steaks in the mail right before Memorial

292
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:25,640
Day weekend, and I will tell
you we cooked all of it from Memorial

293
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:29,279
Day, every single piece of meat. We cooked every single bit of it,

294
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,799
like we because we have one of
those big like Habaschi kind of grills.

295
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,480
And I was like, we're cooking
it all because America, that's what

296
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:38,759
we did. And so that's what
we did. And I ate like half

297
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,359
of it because I just don't care. We have a little bit of it

298
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,559
left, so I'll be eating off
it, you know, during the week.

299
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,240
But we just hamburgers, pork chops, chicken filets. We cooked it

300
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:52,400
all and it's amazing. And I
will tell you, Omaha Steaks has the

301
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,759
best meat. Oh my god,
I think I'm drooling thinking about it right

302
00:20:55,799 --> 00:21:00,119
now. But the greatest and so
good. And it's just like every like

303
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,640
for Father's Day. This is what
you need to do for Father's Day.

304
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,240
There's no question everybody needs to get
Dad some like some meat. It's all

305
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:10,519
about the meat. They all want
it, Yeah, they all want it,

306
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,440
and I don't I really think they
do. Like some people have teased

307
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:18,240
that grilling is just like it was
invented by women in order to get men

308
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:22,640
to feel good about cooking, and
like they just genuinely like burning meat with

309
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,119
fire. I think it's just a
manly thing to do. I agree with

310
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,359
you one hundred and fifty percent.
They will go out there and they're like,

311
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,160
oh, I have fire, I
will burn the meat. They let

312
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,119
know they totally do. They feel
like men, They feel like more manly

313
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,200
men when they can do that,
and it's so good and we benefit from

314
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,759
it, whether it's your father,
your father in law, father figure,

315
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:47,440
the guy who's just always ready to
step a step up whenever you need him.

324
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,160
dot com. So good. Well
that that same um, that same video.

325
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,200
I mean, there's been so many
responses to that video. And we

326
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:33,200
have another one from another mom who
is just as irritated at like at all

327
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,000
these silly questions about drinking from Moses
and all that stuff. So let's do

328
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:42,559
that one next. Who let jen
X off the hook? Why are we

329
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:48,160
talking shit about those because y'all don't
want to get bucked up, Because y'all

330
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,880
don't will this work? Because we
had the lag generation that a real motherfuckers

331
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,400
you ever met? That's your next
on with y'all, fuck with nobody.

332
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,839
Actually, we just chill, go
to work and cople We handle choice.

333
00:23:02,279 --> 00:23:06,039
We was Leski kids for real.
We handled therapy. We couldn't deal with

334
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:08,039
our depression. We had to eat
that shit and keep it moving. So

335
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,079
fuck out of here. That's why
y'all don't fuck with us. But don't

336
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:18,200
fuck with us. That's a really
great point though, Like they're way more

337
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,240
depressed people and people with mental illnesses
now than there were when we were kids.

338
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,519
Because people want that. It's very
handy for anybody to be able to

339
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:30,400
play a victim card of any kind, and so now you know you can't

340
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:36,119
bully there's all these anti bullying rules
where really I think growing up getting a

341
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,559
little bullied helped thicken your skin.
It's what made you prepared to deal with

342
00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:45,640
some of life's hardships with the yeah, the real world. So I know

343
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:52,880
we've gone interesting soft. Everyone has
gone so god incredibly soft. And I

344
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,519
think social media is like completely screwed
up our society too. Like I loved

345
00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:00,759
living in an era where there was
no social media and all that because think

346
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:06,039
of all the stupid crap that we
did do, like all the partying and

347
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:08,440
the fun stuff that we were able
to do, and and just the I

348
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:14,640
don't know, the living of life
and not having to document everything. It

349
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,559
was nice not having to do that. Like we've took some pictures and then

350
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:21,480
we like I just sent my daughter
to camp and I sent her with two

351
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,079
cameras, like disposable cameras, and
she was like, what am I supposed

352
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,400
to do with these? And I
had to show her how to use an

353
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,319
actual I was like, you have
to wind it, and you click it

354
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,759
and you wind it. And she
was like, and then what do we

355
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:38,880
do with them? And like then
you get them developed. You can still

356
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,000
buy those like a drug store like
a CBS or a Walgreens. And I

357
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,720
had to show her how do you
I mean, she was so far removed

358
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:49,839
from that technology. She's gonna be
like, how do I filter them?

359
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:56,200
Where's the I know, where's they
Instagram felt there? Yeah. I mean

360
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,440
this is the thing is that they
don't have a concept of of waiting on

361
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,599
what it's gonna you know, she's
gonna take pictures and then she has to

362
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,480
wait. She has to sit and
wait and be patient to see what those

363
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,799
pictures we look like. And I
don't know three gosh right, I mean

364
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:15,279
this is the thing. And we
did that. So we had cameras,

365
00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:18,440
but we you know, we could
always get the pictures back and be like,

366
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,440
oh my god, that's an incriminating
picture and then throw it away if

367
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,000
it was a bad picture of if
it was like a flash of our boot

368
00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:27,680
or something, and it was gone
forever, it was gone for forever.

369
00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:32,359
But see on the Internet, everything
lives forever. And somebody was saying that

370
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:38,759
like our social media was somebody said
on our on our Facebook insiders that that

371
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:45,119
our social media was bathroom walls.
Oh my gosh, like writing things on

372
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,880
bathroom walls about people or whatever,
or just you know, passing notes to

373
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,160
one another. Like if you remember
that movie sixteen Candles, have you ever

374
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,480
seen one member in the beginning?
Did you touch it? Yeah? Right.

375
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,279
I mean it's like remember when you
say, I mean I wrote notes,

376
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:03,839
Oh my god, and then you
would fold them like in the cool

377
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,720
ways, and then you would do
the things where you'd like the accordions,

378
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:12,240
and like, I mean I have
notes from like old boyfriends, from best

379
00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:15,240
friends, I mean, and it's
like that's how you get to know people,

380
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,640
really get to know them, was
like writing notes and like learning so

381
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,039
much about them and then getting on
the phone and talking to your new best

382
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:27,079
friend for three hours at a time. I mean, that's I missed those

383
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,000
days. That's and I feel like
that made us like we were just we

384
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,759
were more. We were more of
like an intimate generation, like we really

385
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,160
got to know one another, and
we were I don't know, I don't

386
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:44,839
I think when when it comes to
mental illness and stuff like that, we

387
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,079
just we were more. We were
more into each other and getting to know

388
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,880
each other, and it wasn't so
surfacing. It doesn't and it's weird,

389
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,240
especially because we're in such an oversharing
culture, so you would think it would

390
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,599
be the reverse that, like,
people are so quick to share everything,

391
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,920
but so much of what they share
is superficial. And that's the difference.

392
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,440
It's so super it's so fake.
It's also fake. It's not you're not

393
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:12,279
getting below the surface, you know, it's like every That's what we were.

394
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:18,319
We were so much more human with
one another. And I think that

395
00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:22,440
that it's like that goes without saying. Our generation was so different when it

396
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,440
came to that, we really got
to know one another, and it's and

397
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,000
and we had like a handful of
friends rather than you know, a thousand

398
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,880
friends on Facebook, which really aren't
your friends. And I think that that

399
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,200
this generation now, I think that
they're they're hungry for real intimacy. And

400
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,160
we had that as a generation.
We understood that, and I think we

401
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:47,960
were the last real generation to understand
that. And that's sad. You know,

402
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:51,319
it is really sad. Don't f
with your face, mock, don't

403
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,359
do it. I mean, I'm
not doing it. I've just kind of

404
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,680
given up on thinking that I need
to f with my face. Instead,

405
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,640
I'm using genue cell. That's what
I'm doing. That's the better way.

406
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,960
That's my old age plan. As
I'm just I'm using like the jawline stuff,

407
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,519
I'm using all the retinal stuff.
I'm using the deep ferming vitamin ccrum,

408
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:08,960
I'm using all the stuff everything that
they have. I love all of

409
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
their stuff, and you know what, it works. It totally. I

410
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,200
was going to say, it's totally
working for you. You don't need to

411
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,920
f with your face. Not nobody
really needs to f with their face because

412
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,839
you don't want to look like a
cat. Everybody starts looking like the same

413
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,559
weird cat in Hollywood. You don't
want to do that, some weird alien,

428
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,440
We have a couple more videos.
There's one of a woman, I

429
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,880
forget her name, but she's she's
become pretty popular on both Instagram and TikTok,

430
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,400
and she's like our generation. She's
got like the purple hair, and

431
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,960
she's just cool. And so she's
also got some stuff to say about what

432
00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:49,200
things were like back in our day. Gen X kid growing up, what

433
00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:52,599
looks something like this. You wake
up early and immediately put on your play

434
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:56,960
clothes, grab a pop tart,
maybe a handful of Captain crunch Head friends.

435
00:29:57,119 --> 00:30:00,079
When you meet up with your friends
are all riding your bike, and

436
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:03,079
you now look like a miniature version
of a motorcycle gang headed out to play

437
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:07,119
with dangerous things in dangerous places.
You'll travel blocks, if not miles,

438
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,720
away from home, and you'll probably
cross several major streets, possibly a major

439
00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:12,759
highway before you head back. On
your way back, you'll probably stop to

440
00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:17,039
climb a tree, waiting a creek, skip some rocks, or play on

441
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:19,000
the railroad tracks. And then you'll
get back before the street lights come on,

442
00:30:19,119 --> 00:30:22,000
just in time for dinner. That
is about twelve hours later than when

443
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:25,400
you left, and your parents are
supposed that you haven't been home the whole

444
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,440
time. You'll wash your hands and
sit down to eat your TV dinner on

445
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,960
a TV tray while watching TV on
the couch alone until it's time for bed.

446
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,000
Your bed is support made out of
your pillows in a blanket, and

447
00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:40,000
you'll drift off to sleep while reading
with a flashlight about adventures you can only

448
00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:44,039
dream of. You'll do it all
again tomorrow. I mean it was great,

449
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,559
it was it was great. I
mean it was like in the eighties

450
00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:52,279
were great. And one thing too, I think about, like growing up

451
00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:56,640
in the eighties as a gen xer
is you know another thing that I can

452
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:03,000
compare my daughter too, is like
movies and music. What about the music?

453
00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:06,799
Obviously, I'm sorry, I will
fight people like until the end,

454
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,079
our music was freaking little god and
because and as evidenced by the fact that

455
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:15,519
they're sampling our music now. So
if it wasn't better, you want to

456
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:18,480
be freaking sampling it, be coming
up with your own freaking music and sam

457
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,759
movies. They're redoing a lot of
movies now too, because they have no

458
00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:25,480
creativity now. But my like,
my daughter doesn't really even enjoy the movies

459
00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:27,319
anymore. Like I want to take
her to movies, and she doesn't really

460
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,839
like movies. And I think part
of that is because they don't have an

461
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,880
attention span to sit for two and
a half hours in a movie theater,

462
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:36,960
you know, an hour and a
half, two hours in a movie theater.

463
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:41,319
But oh yes, I absolutely loved
it. I love that you could

464
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:47,640
go to a matinee for a dollar
twenty five. Yes, oh my god,

465
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,440
I mean I just remember going with
my like I saw Dirty Dancing.

466
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,759
I'm not even kidding you, like
nine times. I loved it so much,

467
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:57,000
And it's so different now because my
daughter just doesn't like she doesn't I

468
00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:00,799
want to take her to movies and
she doesn't have a big interest in movies

469
00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:04,640
and it breaks my heart. And
part of it is because movies kind of

470
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,960
suck now. But like Guardians,
but like Gardens in the Galaxy, I'm

471
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,960
thinking, Okay, I can get
her to go see that movie. And

472
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,519
it's not. It's just not the
same anymore. It's not. Well,

473
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:15,400
think about how different it is too. Just like if you were to say,

474
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:17,960
and I know this is true with
my own kid, if I were

475
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,160
to say, even five years ago, when it was like playing age,

476
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,119
when he was twelve, if I
would have said to him, hey,

477
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,480
why don't you go outside and play? He would have no freaking idea what

478
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:35,599
to do, right, no idea
because they don't go and like wade through

479
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,519
creeks or play on railroad tracks,
or climb trees or build forts. They

480
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:43,240
don't do any of that, and
they don't they have no desire to do

481
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:46,119
it. We did because that we
didn't have a computer or a screen to

482
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,160
just stare at all day. So
it's completely different. We had to find

483
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:53,920
things to occupy our time and our
interest. Yeah that makes me sad,

484
00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:58,839
I know, which makes I think
it's what makes us grouchy, Like because

485
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,559
we've got this great video from gen
X talks that we mentioned earlier, of

486
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,880
this father who has these conversations with
his much younger son about what it's like

487
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,240
to be gen X, and he's
grouchy. I think he speaks for all

488
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:15,920
of us with that grouchiness, just
with the level of impatience we have for

489
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:20,880
this, for this up and coming
generation. Let's look at that talks and

490
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:24,359
dad, how's my little ray of
sunshine today? I've been thinking, and

491
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:30,480
I think you're generation mine aren't really
that different. Yeah, well, I'm

492
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:34,079
sure Grandpa used to feel the same
about you that you feel about us.

493
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,599
Right, Yeah, I'm sure he's
grouchy, said more than once about and

494
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,119
so what Oh wait, see we're
the same. So why do you pick

495
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,440
on us so much the same?
Well, you didn't like it, Okay,

496
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,319
you didn't like it when Grandpa did
it to you, So why would

497
00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:45,920
you do to us because we're different. You know, at the end of

498
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,680
the day, Grandpa and I could
still sit down and talk and later in

499
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,039
life we could have a beer.
We had we had common ground, like

500
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:55,079
loyalty to family and country. You
guys, enough ship. Well, my

501
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,640
generation has common ground too with us. You think you have common ground with

502
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,519
my gen My generation was happy to
have a job of cold brand working on

503
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:06,759
their car on a Saturday. You
fuckers aren't happy until you wake up and

504
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:09,480
tear down some random American tradition just
because it's there. The most thing we

505
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:12,679
got in common, Sun is a
doctor. We're gonna used to take my

506
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:22,960
boot out. You're fucking ass.
You can leave now. I love that

507
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:25,440
kid too. He's like, thanks
for the video, Dad, thanks so

508
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:31,000
much. I love that. I
love that channel so much. Talks and

509
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:36,760
he's grouchy, but I understand its
grouchiness because they because this generation really is

510
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,519
trying to dismantle a lot of the
stuff that that our generation, the previous

511
00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:44,840
generation built for that. Yeah,
exam and they are and like you and

512
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,000
I talked on our Daily show about
how patriotism is at an all time low.

513
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:52,000
Love of country is at an all
time low. That breaks my heart.

514
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:57,239
It's and it's like you can't.
What are you supposed to do about

515
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,880
that? It's like they help.
It's why we're we're bitter towards the other

516
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,559
generations because it's just like you said, they are tearing down what we built

517
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,199
for them and then for them to
not show love of country a country that

518
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:15,599
has been so good to us is
just it's infuriating. It is it's infuriating.

519
00:35:15,639 --> 00:35:16,880
It's just nauseating. I hate it. It just makes me, it

520
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,119
does it makes me mad. It
makes all of us mad, which is

521
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:23,960
like we're sort of that grouchy generation. And then when I see shirtless dude

522
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,840
in the beanie, which I don't
understand, like why are you shirtless?

523
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,079
And if you're cold, put on
a freaking shirt dude, I don't understand

524
00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:37,719
how that makes you. Like that's
dumb. There's a disconnect there in anyways.

525
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,679
I just there's a lot that I
don't understand, and I just,

526
00:35:40,119 --> 00:35:45,039
you know, I think they're going
to be sorry because their country is they

527
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:50,360
blame what other people for their problems. They want their their college educations to

528
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,119
be paid for by other people,
and they, you know, they feel

529
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,440
entitled to so much stuff. And
it's like we just didn't have we didn't

530
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,079
have that, we didn't have to
businessman. We just took care of it,

531
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,559
damn straight. And that is why
gen X, I will maintain is

532
00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:09,760
the second greatest generation. Amen to
that. Amen, sister, I'm right

533
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,760
there with you, and I feel
like, you know, we have a

534
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,000
case that we're right about that gen
X Forever
