Speaker 3 (01:26):
No, it's it's me because Kat is dead. I christim
so I came across the survey this morning. Kati is
not dead. By the way, I don't want anyone freaking out.
Came across the survey this morning. This is all about
gen z ers, okay, and I always have to ask
who's gen z. Gen Z is those who were born
between ninety seven to twenty thirteen, My kids. That's what
(01:47):
you told me, Skin, So if I'm wrong, everyone blames skin.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, you're right, and it's Ben's Kinch too.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah. Apparently forty six percent of gen Zers would pick
long term financial stability over romance, and he even says
one out of three they would take a former partner
back if that ex got rich. So can you guys,
confirm or deny. Gen Z, are they picking money over love?
(02:14):
Because that's what it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So let me comment on my kids. I have not
asked them this question. I think Maya would. I've always thought, Okay,
my daughter is kind of bougie, and so she's gonna
be uh, there's gonna be a particular kind of guy
that she goes after, and the relationship she's in right
now that she's been in for longer than a year,
(02:38):
that dude ain't bougie.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Like.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
She went against type from what I thought. So I'm like, Okay, maybe, uh,
maybe Maya is the gen Z person that will go
love over money. Not to say that, you know, they're young,
they're twenty. They could still uh, that could change. But
I do think my son would go, oh hell yeah,
give me money over love. I don't even think he
would hesitate.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I think my twenty year old would go love over money.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Cool, because I think he's in love and I think
he's got confidence that he'll be able to make money
at some point and he'll be okay in both. He's
wildly in love. My seventeen year old, I think he
would take money in a heartbeat. I don't I think
he would be fine, like just being a hermit. I
don't think he ever needs a relationship. My daughter, does
(03:29):
you know, she's about to be fifteen? Doesn't apply to her.
She's never noticed a boy.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Right, well, she never will, right it never will will ever?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Thank you Christina as she starts her first day of
high school with older kids.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
When she left for school this morning, she looked twenty
eight years old.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I will say this article does go into it and
it says money equals safety, security, and freedom, So it's
really not money. Thereafter they're saying no, if they have money,
that means that they are secure, they know what they're doing,
They're ambitious, and that's why I would pick them.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Gen Z just doesn't know the incredible Beatles song Can't
Buy Me Love or the movie that spawned it with
Patrick Dempsey. Is it on the top forty five high
school movies of all time?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Have you ever seen Can't Buy Me Love?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know Patrick Dempsey?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I do? What was he? Was he dreamy? Or is
that another guy?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
No, no, no, sorry, yes, I'm getting them confused. Yes, Patrick Dempsey.
I was thinking of who's in Dirty Dancing?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh, Patrick Swayze.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Patrick Swayze, That's why I said rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You know what that makes me think, Ben, we need
a Patrick bracket.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
How do they determine these How do they determine what
these generations are?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Like?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Sometimes it's every fifteen years, but it's not always. Like
I'm sitting here looking at the Silent Generation. They're eighty
to ninety seven. The Baby Boomers are sixty one to
seventy nine. Generation X is forty five to sixty, Millennials
are twenty nine to forty four. Generation Z is thirteen
to twenty eight, and Generation Alpha is anyone born here
(05:10):
soon to twelve years old.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I think it probably has to do with societal changes.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, big changes that happen, Like, for example, you know
why they're baby boomers, right.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Let's see it has become it's because so many people
were off at.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
World War Two, and when everybody came back, everybody cranked
out baby So there was a population boom like that
that happened, and so that's why it's the baby boom.
And then I don't know why we were called Generation X.
I'm not sure why y'all liked X.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
A lot our notes are grew up with MTV latchkey kids,
early tech adopters.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, but I don't know why that equates to X.
But you know, there is the Billie Idol Generation X,
the punk Man. But I'm sure that was named because
the group of people was already named that, and then
they just stayed on the letter thing for a while.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
And then obviously Millennials were born around the time the
millennium changed, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, we remember two thousand vividly.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
How about that as we're all waiting for a society
to collapse because we didn't program zeros in there properly,
and then it never happened.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Never happened.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
All Right, There you have it, gen Z picking Money
over Love Coming up next with kids going back to
school today, we have a list the.
