Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning. Kiss, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Gen Z's bailing on proper etiquette and it has nothing
to do with them. It's us millennial parents that have
okayed this behavior. How are you hopefully off to a
good start? A reminder, commercial friend? You know, I'm a
sucker for a list. So I came across the top
five things that we were taught growing up that are.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Kind of like fading away. And my mother is still
very much.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Alive and well survived the hurricane in Tampa, Florida, Zone A.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
She would.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Be unwell if I told her about this. I don't
even think her brain would be able to process and
understand this. I had already mentioned it, but I'll just
remind you that the number one thing on this etiquette
list that's kind of fading away is writing thank you notes.
I can see it now. I can see this blonde
(00:53):
haired girl sitting at the kitchen table after my birthday,
after Christmas, after whatever the case may be, and writing
a handwritten note to thank whoever for whatever, uh something I.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Still do to this day.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I'm a big cards person and a big thank you
notes person. Handwriting is horrible, though, so I'm with gen
Z On that one, I have a really bad handwriting, but.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's something like I can remember it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's another one that's not on this list, since we're
going down you know, trigger road here. My mom also
used to make me look words up in the dictionary
if I didn't know what they meant.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
She'd be like, here you go, what man? What a time?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, So other things on this list, these are the
top five proper etiquette things that have started to fade away. Also,
not looking at your cell phone during a conversation. That
used to be like a no no, and now it's
a little bit more acceptable. Still something that I hate doing,
but I agree. I notice it. I noticed that I'll
(01:56):
be in a conversation with someone and they'll pick up
their phone. I still hate it, and I try to
avoid it as much as I can, but that is
now more acceptable than it ever was. The other one
small talk. Not everyone's good at small talk. I'm a
big I think just I'm a conversationalist, so if I
meet someone small talk is not a problem for me,
(02:16):
but for others it's super cringey. I also think that
stems from using your cellphone quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Storytime quickly.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I went to this wedding over the weekend in the
Dominican and I felt like a lot of the conversation
I was having with the people and the guests, a
lot of it was stemming from small talk that I
was able to, you know, do like, I don't know
what happened to questions? What happened to people asking questions
and chit chatting? Another thing that I might table for
(02:46):
laur sharpat Who's our relationship Expert. I think that's the
number one thing that people suffer through in the dating world,
is not being asked questions. Ooh, I could talk all
day about that one, but I don't want to waste
her time on it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Else.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Eye contact eye contact came up on the list. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I just maybe that's just a normal natural thing.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But I guess having direct eye contact isn't that big
of a deal anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I can't see that being true. I feel like it
would just be weird if he didn't have eye contact
with someone. What are you looking at? Probably your cell phone?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And then lastly, sweatpants in public are more acceptable now
than it ever has been. I'll tell you though, there
is a difference between sweatpants in public and wearing your
full on pajamas. It has to be a full blown
emergency for me to go out the house in my pajamas.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You could cheer your thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Actually, I feel like this will end up leading us
down this road of conversation. Things that our parents like
used to make us do that are ingrained in our brain.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well, let's see what else we get. Thank you notes?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Just one looking upwards in the dictionary was another that
I had mentioned.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Am I missing anything? What else comes to mind for you?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
If I've won three seventy nine one oh.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You're waking up with Tiff in the morning on Kiss
one oh seven one, thanks for your patient. Since it's
just me solo in this booth every morning, I don't
have a producer, so it takes me a while to
filter through get our calls ready to go.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
If you're just.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Walking in to Kiss one oh seven one this morning,
we're in the midst of talking about the things that
we used to do that kind of no longer exist.
It all stemmed from a list I got suckered into reading.
It was the top five etiquette things that have kind
of started to fade away, pointed out gen Z a
little bit on it. The biggest one on that list
(04:36):
that I can't get over is not writing thank you
notes anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh my god, my mother. She would never So it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Led us to talking about the things that kind of
used to happen but don't happen anymore. If you're triggered
by it, feel free to join the conversation. The best
way to do so in this case is the phone
number five one three seven four nine one oh seven one,
or talk back with tiff on Iheartradium.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Hi, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's TikTok Megan.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Hey, now my TikTok Megan. What do you have for me?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, I was just gonna say I was not allowed
to wear leggings when we were growing up, and like
I specifically remember this girl, she was my friend, and
she always wore the stirrup luggings, Like do you remember
the ones that they went around your heel like a
little scrap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, was not allowed to wear
those out in public. My parents, Like, I'm sure that
they see me on the daily wearing now and they're like, oh,
(05:26):
this is this is she's just being a rebel. I
just want to be comfy.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You are so right. Thank you for the call, Megan.
It was good to hear your voice.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
The legging thing went from like like like I gasped,
like never to me having them on as we speak
right now. Good morning, you're on the air.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I was thinking that, like when you let somebody go
when you're driving, and you know, you usually like just
way in the mirror, like hey, yeah, people they don't
do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Ooh, the courtesy wave, the like hand up, the or
the three fingers like the I know you, you and
I both know, like, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Like people don't do that.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That was a good one.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Let's use that as a reminder right now. If you're
out on the roads this morning, give your give your
neighbor a good wave. If you cut someone off, give
him the wave. Yeah, remind me what name, what neighborhood
you're driving through this morning, and what your name is.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'm driving through Mates and my name is Love.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
That that sounds like my best friend's alter ego when
she drinks and dances too hard.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I mean, anybody can get his bad But yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Thank you for the call. We got time for one
more high you're on the air.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You're more than tip. It is great to have you back.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I missed you last week.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Thank you, Zane. It's good to hear your voice. What
do you have for me?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
So put your temple hat on. I kind of got
a theory, like you were kind of talking about, like
what happened to small talk and like these just like
little things. I think COVID has like disconnected us like
more than me come to realize as people, but by
it and I feel like the human.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Process is just going to take.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It much longer than we expected to. We don't really
realize like what all we've been through these past four years.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It's been like a roller coaster.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Like now we're just kind of here, you know what
I mean, Like it's hard to Zane.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That was very That was very emotionally depth. I loved
your emotional intelligence scale on that one. A reminder, ladies,
Zaane is still single and lives in Westchester.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
When do you turn twenty four?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Twenty four next December twenty three? December sixth?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh okay, okay, Well we're getting close to your birthday,
my guy.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yes, Pam, Yes, it's on Friday this year, So I'll
get that book for it too.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Okay, well, thank you for the call. It's always good
to hear your voice.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
You as well have a go with.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You too if you're just walking into the conversation. The
Top five etiquette things that we learned growing up that
gen Z is kind of fading away from all right,
commercial free In the meantime, you know, there are multiple
ways to contribute to this show outside of the phone lines.
You can shoot me on Instagram, DM, I don't know.
I am still gonna write thank you notes.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I'm never gonna let that go.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
If you don't know all the words to that one
and have it at full volume, we cannot be friends, simply.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
No, I'm kidding. We're fine.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You're waking up with Tim in the morning on Kiss
one O seven one commercial Free.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We're in the midst of talking.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
About the top five etiquette things that we learned growing
up that gen Z has kind of faded away from.
A quick run through of some of them. Writing thank
you notes, making eye contact, doing small talk, wearing sweatpants
in public used to not be acceptable, it sort of
is now. The other one is using your cell phone
(08:51):
in the middle of a conversation with somebody. Used to
never do that. Now it's becoming more acceptable. How do
you feel about some of these I just had.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
A comment on genzless because that is the most absurd thing.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But if you think about it, that describes all of
them because they don't look you in the eye, They
have zero work ethic.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
They don't want to do anything but just do what
they want to do, and that's not the real world.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So yeah, that list needs to be shredded and burned.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Thank you for the talk back with Sif when you
search kiss on iHeart, you'll see the microphone next to
the play button, then you can always listen and always contribute.
I'm always gonna come to the defense of gen Z
in some ways, in some ways because.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They just need a little guidance, a little handholding.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Have I noticed the stark difference between our work ethics?
Oh yeah, A friend of mine and I were just
talking about that last night.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
She runs a clothing store and.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
She's had to change over employees, you know, a few
different times in the midst of trying to find the
right ones. Yeah, my radio class, you know, the ones
that graduated in the early two thousand, like the teens,
like the twelves, and the thirteens and the fourteens. I
mean I worked overnights days back to overnight's weekends. I
mean it was relentless. But you know now I have
(10:09):
the job I do every day, so you can always
let me know what your thoughts are on that one.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Coming up. Next, let's get to Mary J. Blige. I
always love this song.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And then we're gonna do the three things you need
to know to get your day started.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
In Sincy.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The New Heights podcast came out yesterday, and so the
Kelsey brothers have addressed.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Probably for the last time.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That incident that Jason Kelsey got wrapped into that went viral.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'll have that more for you
You're waking up with fifth in the morning. Kiss, good morning.
