Ever wondered why every generation seems to think the next is bound for doom? Join us for a laugh-out-loud session with Keebler as we share stories of our grandparents' and parents' worries, comparing them to our own anxieties today. We add a humorous twist to the serious issues of skyrocketing living costs versus stagnant wages and even entertain the absurd idea of vaccinating birds to keep egg prices in check. Tune in as we marvel at the resilience of each generation and poke fun at the struggles of maintaining a single-income household.
Keebler and Detto also wander into the quirky and nostalgic, from the rising costs that might make us consider cemetery "bunk beds" to a nostalgic nod at MTV's endless evolution. We're not afraid to question conventional wisdom, joking about political figures as mere puppets in a grand performance or wondering aloud about the existence of dinosaurs. We discuss the infamous doomsday clock and the perpetual anticipation of global catastrophe, all with a playful skepticism that keeps the mood light even when the topics get heavy.
Technology takes center stage as we reflect on the massive impact of the internet. We share stories of our own reliance on younger, tech-savvy family members to navigate this digital age. From online shopping and virtual doctor visits to the potential of time travel, we explore how rapidly advancing technology shapes our world. We encourage embracing these changes with humor and optimism, learning from those who were practically born with a smartphone in their hands. Join us for a session that promises to be fun, insightful, and sprinkled with humor.

podcast that connects people topeople, sometimes explains why
connections are so uncomfortable.
Anyway, I'm here with Keeleytoday.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hey, how's it going everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We're talking about generational change.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Remember when your grandmother used to say stuff
like oh, this plan is nevergoing to be good enough for
these kids.
I don't even know why we'reraising them.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh yeah, my mother used to say the same thing back
in the day.
It's like I don't know how youguys are going to afford to buy
a house.
We can't even afford ours.
It's like, all right, we'll seewhat happens.
But I mean, I get what theywere saying, because I said it
to my kids.
I don't know how you guys aregoing to make it.
I just hope that everythingworks out for you.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I've said the opposite the entire time.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Really.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, it's like yeah, yeah, you don't like, you don't
have any.
They don't know any different,they don't know, what it was
like in 1950.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Right, so they've kind of plant the seed in your
head and then you're like howthe hell am I going to make it?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
You know, yeah, how am I going to walk uphill both
ways of school in the snow?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, barefoot, barefoot, I used to hear there
you go.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's what it was all about.
I mean, there's boomers,there's Gen X, there's
millennials, there's Gen Z,there's all kinds of different
things going on.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And the difference between all of them.
It's huge.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Exactly.
The gap is huge, exactly, andit just amazes me how we all
adapt to the current situationin front of us.
Either well, we're going todelve into this or dive into it.
I should say how, back in theday, only one person worked.
Now it's like both spouses workif you're married, and usually
(01:59):
you have a part-time job just tomake a little extra money.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You have to, you have to.
That's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Exactly.
So yeah, mrs Keebler was niceenough to find this article.
What they Said in 1957.
Well, let's hear it.
And the first thing, one of thethings was ah, I'm not sure how
we're going to mail a letterwith the potions and I'm a
postal worker with the potions.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They cost five cents.
That's why I'm laughing.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Now it's 73 cents.
Is it really?
It's up to 73 cents for aletter stamp?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
That was like minimum wage in 1950.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, holy shnikes.
75 cents was minimum wage, nowit's 73 cents to mail a stamp or
mail a letter.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It would take you one hour's worth of work in 1955 to
buy a stamp today, today, crazynikes, that is crazy, that's
insane another saying.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They said uh, not sure how they're gonna afford
groceries when it costs 20 aweek.
Now that was in 57 and I don'tknow about you, but for me, if I
do a full groceries it's 200.
You know, if you're doing likethe meats and the vegetables and
the fruits and then if you haveto get paper products or stuff
like that, yeah.
(03:12):
Freaking crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Forget about when you need to actually like
toothpaste and shampoo.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Exactly, yeah, but they said, like you know, 20
bucks back then I mean, eggs are10 bucks a dozen.
Exactly, there's half your.
You get what?
Two eggs a day for your meals.
Quick side note yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What the fuck is the?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
bird flu.
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Birds get the flu.
Give a shot, get them outApparently, get them back out
there.
How?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
about.
We vaccinate the birds Exactly.
The humans don't want thevaccinations, that's what I'm
saying.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
What the fuck?
We got all these flu shotssitting around.
Give them to the birds.
Let's get eggs down.
Let's get eggs down, jesusChrist.
Unbelievable.
It's like the people at thegrocery stores Might as well
have a gun and a mask.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Come on in.
Come on in.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
We want your money we want your money, son of a bitch
.
Well, yeah, that's some crazystuff, you know, yeah and uh,
it's different.
And so in this day and age now,we laugh.
We were laughing at this becausewe remember what our parents
said, what our grandparents saidyep and all that and it's like
I'm looking at my parentsnowadays and I'm like no guys,
(04:21):
these kids will be fine, it'sjust going to be the way they
live.
Right, just like me, right Likeyou said, my grandparents were
like oh, these kids, we'releaving a world of terrible
place for these kids.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, here's the thing, you know.
I mean minimum wage is howpeople adjust, but that's one
thing that really hasn't gone upall that much.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Minimum wage is a crock of shit.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong you have certain
states, most of the so-calledred states, and I don't want to
label, but the southern states,most of them, are still $7.25 an
hour.
Back in the day it was what?
In 57, 70 cents or 50 cents anhour, somewhere in that area.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I think it was 75 cents 75 cents an hour.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But now you got like District of Columbia 17.50.
California 16.50 an hour.
Connecticut is 16.35.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
we're up to my first job paid me that.
My first job that I ever hadwas for a corporate America
conglomerate.
Okay, you see them everywhere.
They're in every restaurant.
Yep, it's a soft drink company.
Oh, I know every restaurant.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yep, it's a soft drink company.
Oh, I know, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And they paid me that much to work part-time on the
weekends, really.
So if you're going to sit thereand tell me that you can't Back
in, what the 80s.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
No 70s, come on 90s.
I'm not that old it's 90s.
90s is all I'm thinking about.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
In mid-90s Alright, mid-90s.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I apologize, Ditto.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But they were paying me that then.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Really.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
For part-time.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That was good money.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, if you could sit here and tell me that
minimum wage makes a difference,I will just give you the
proverbial middle finger,because get out there and get a
fucking job.
Right, that's it, anybody.
There are people looking forwork workers all over the place,
oh, absolutely.
And if you're going to sitthere and complain about minimum
wage and how it's not enough,then you're not looking for a
(06:15):
job.
Exactly Sorry, you're just not,you're not.
Right Because at 15, 16, 17years old, but it was 16, 17, 18
years old because I had to beable to drive.
I found a job that paid wellabove minimum wage.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, that's part-time money, right.
So you're talking.
I think I was only makingthat's when I started the post
office, probably right when yougot into the workforce in the
90s and I left the hospitalwhere I was a transportation
clerk, a transporter for thex-ray department.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What'd you do?
Take the patients from floor tofloor.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I brought them from floor to x-ray.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Oh, I thought you actually drove them in a truck.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
No, no, no, no, no Big yellow bus.
No, I was down to wheelchairsand stretchers.
That's all I could handle.
Pushing the new moms out thedoor.
But I was making 7.25 an hourthen and then when I came to the
post office I jumped at itbecause it was like 11.25.
That's what I started at 1993and I started the conglomerate
(07:15):
in 94 94, april in 94, and youmade good.
That's good money I was.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It started at 13.25 an hour, right, and I only
worked only worked Saturday andSunday.
Okay, I was in school,obviously.
Yeah, yeah, because I was stillin school at that time and I'd
make like $200 or $300 a weekenddoing virtually nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, yeah.
It's like you go out there andyou just look.
It's not hard to find the moneyif you want it.
The people that are complainingabout minimum wage at this
point are people that don't wantto work.
They're looking for the reasonsto not do something.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So let me give you another good one here.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Here we go.
I got off the top.
If this is a joke, I'm going tolose it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No, no, no, no.
Speaking of that, we're at thehospital now, so I'll stay with
that.
Back then was you're crackingme up, guy?
I'm in a good mood today.
I see that I am Back at thehospital for a one-night stay
was $35.
Now $3,500.
You're pretty damn close.
$2,800 is the average for onenight in the hospital.
(08:16):
And that's what 70 years later,or just under 65 years?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That's a lot of cash.
That's a huge contributor tothe divide of wealth in this
country.
It's like people that haveinsurance.
Insurance is just paying thestuff out, yeah, and then
charging everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
But you couldn't.
I mean they were complainingback then.
35 bucks, I mean don't get mewrong, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But Well, back then you could probably buy a house
for 35 bucks also.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Oh, I got those numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, in 1950, I bet you, a house cost probably
$12,000.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
$12,200 was the average.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Holy shnikes I am a prophet.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
You're on fire.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I know everything.
There isn't anything.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know.
So that's funny.
You say that because in 12,200,1974, when my parents bought
their first house, when myfather, he actually had a heart
attack 21 000 29 9 was theirsyep he actually they got a big
house stressed out that hecouldn't make the payments
because my mother was still back.
Then you had stay-at-home moms,you know, and she didn't.
(09:18):
She didn't get to go to workuntil after we were in high
school.
That's when my father I'm notgoing to say allowed her, but
thought it was a better ideabecause we were old enough to
take care of ourselves.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, the same thing happened with me, just for a
point of reference.
Yeah, my mother stayed home for13 years.
She was a school teacher.
She started out teaching Right,my father worked, obviously, my
mother worked as a teacher.
Yeah, my mother worked as ateacher, yeah.
And then she stopped and raisedthe kids.
Yeah, she raised all three ofus.
I have a brother and a sisterand she raised all of us for 13
(09:50):
years.
Then she went back, went back toschool, got a master's degree
in library science, really andwent back to school as a
librarian and killed it afterthat, yeah and she took those 13
years off to raise us, which,in this day and age, you can't
do that now, you can, you can,you can, but you have to be very
disciplined, and I think thereshould be some way that that is
(10:13):
able to happen.
Right, because I agree with youthere daycare and child care is
wildly it just sucks upexpensive.
It sucks up the other.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Uh, yeah, they didn't have that back in those days.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
No, because everybody stayed home.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Everybody stayed home or your grandmother would watch
you yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'm not sitting here saying that you should be
supplemented for staying at homeas a mother.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No, no but there should be tax benefits for the
husband.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
That works Right.
So if you're a stay-at-home momtaking care of your children
instead of paying daycare,you're getting a bigger tax
credit on your overall taxes,like $30,000 tax credit.
Oh yeah, because that's what itwould cost a year per child,
exactly.
Because there's nothing moreimportant than staying home with
your kids.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So to bring that a little bit further, in 1991, I
bought my first house.
It was $130,000.
A little bit further, in 1991,I bought my first house.
It was $130,000.
In 2014, when me and MrsKeebler got married, we bought a
house $264,000.
That was 2014.
So this year my daughter, casey, shout out to Casey hey, bff,
(11:25):
oh God, she's going to love that.
Her and her husband just boughttheir first house for $480,000.
Now those houses are all aboutthe same size.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No kidding.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I swear to God.
Yeah, the ones that myself Ibought on my own, and then me
and Mrs Keebler and then Caseyand Anthony's, are all roughly
the same, but it's just theastronomical rise in prices.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's also due to the rise of people staying at
home and working.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So houses are now more desired.
True, that's true.
The house we sit in currentlywhere the studio is, I bought it
for $110,000.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's currently worth I don't know over $300,000.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I was going to say it has to be well over $300,000.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I moved out of here when I got married and bought a
house for $375,000.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
And then you sold it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Had to sell it after the divorce for $575,000.
Wow, it's now worth $700,000.
And that was in the manner ofeight years.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, so if you've got any real estate tycoons, if
you're thinking about it outthere, not a bad gig.
No, real estate is good.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You got to know when.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Got to know yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It's all about when Yep Buy low, sell high,
absolutely.
But you got to have the moneyto buy low.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
That being said, what the heck is a generation anyway
?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm not sure how they decipher how many years
it is, you know, and then whatthey name them.
I mean, I'm a boomer, I'm rightat the back end of the baby
boomers.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, you're a back-in-the-day guy.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Back in my day, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, I tell those stories now.
I used to hear that from myfather.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm a Gen Xer.
Oh yeah, you look like you.
Anyway, to this point, to thispoint yes, Gotcha, and it's a
sub-generation.
It's not even a wholegeneration, it's a
sub-generation.
Yeah, it's the people that wereborn between 77 and 83.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh, that little block right there.
That six-year little period isthe greatest generation to this
point in time in life, and howdo they figure?
That Because we can do anything.
Is that in your own mind or no?
They say you can.
We were the first ones.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We were the first ones to.
We were the last ones to usethe hose.
We were the last ones to ridethe bikes.
We were the last ones to gooutside till the streetlights
came on.
We were the first one withvideo games.
We were the first one withvideo games.
We were the first ones withtelephones, with cell phones.
We were the first one withinternet.
That six-year generational gapthere is the greatest generation
(13:53):
because we are the bridge toeverything.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
My father always told me, if I paid attention, I'd
learn something new.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, you haven't paid attention, have you no?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I've been wandering around aimlessly.
I got a good one.
I don been wandering aroundaimlessly, I got to go.
I don't understand how acemetery can raise its funeral
prices and blame it on the costof living.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Oh God, I knew that was coming.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Tell me how.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
They ain't moving out .

No, it's just TV.
It should be CTV.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That's right.
Crap TV Ink Master.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
We got Big Bang Theory on there.
I love the Big Bang, I know.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You keep.
I know you keep saying that andI think it's a stupid, stupid
show.
But why do generations thinkthe next one is doomed?
That's what we started thiswhole podcast out with.
Yeah, our grandparents thoughtour parents' generation was
doomed.
Or our parents thought ours wasdoomed, yeah, and I'm looking
at my parents now.
(15:22):
I'm like my kid will be fine,he's going to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's just the way it goes.
I it out, you've, and if youcan figure it out, if you can
figure it out, yeah anybody canfigure it out, exactly because
I'm stupid just like it.
I'm stupid profit.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm stupid, just like everyone else, but why do
generations think that like?
Why is it?
Oh my god, it's gonna be so badfor these kids when they grow
up I don't know.
I mean, it's like everybody'sthinking the worst I feel like
saying you're dumb just forsaying that yeah, I mean give,
give everybody a chance.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I mean look how it turned out, for you know our
parents than us.
I mean, do we have our hardtimes?
Yeah, but we figured it out.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, you know yeah, like right now, like I'm in a
hard time as it is.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Right, I'm like, well , you just got to figure this
out.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah, you're still here, let me go get the shovel.
Yeah, it's getting deep in here.
Yeah, got to throw some shitaround, but yeah, christ, got to
love it, you do.
What's this thing called thedoomsday clock that we've been
hearing about?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
oh well they, that's crazy.
That's crazy and it just poppedup the other day.
We were planning on doing thispodcast about this generational
gap in this generational changeand all of a sudden, the
doomsday clock pops up andscientists have lessened it by
one second.
Where it used to be 90 secondsto midnight.
Now it's it's 89 seconds tomidnight.
We're closer to doomsday, whichwe are, and I personally
(16:45):
believe that we're closer than89 seconds.
We're like 75 seconds.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I think you're probably right.
It's a lot closer than they say.
People are getting pissed, oh,absolutely.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And they're about to just start blowing shit up.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I hope not Me too.
I mean, we got to look aroundthe world at the crazy shit
that's going on and it's I don'tknow how we get these people in
office.
I mean not only our country, Imean that's a whole nother
episode.
That's another episode.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That's a deep state, the deep dark side of, like,
what really happens in the world.
You really think that DonaldTrump has any kind of say in
anything?
Nope, probably not.
He's a mouthpiece for thepeople that are bigger than him.
Right, and that's the way itgoes.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
There's never.
You're not going to change itunless you revolt.
You're talking about thisdoomsday.
I mean it's country versuscountry, it's the disease, it's
all this.
You know the weather.
I mean, that's all.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
This is.
I believe this is just a stupidthing that scientists have come
up with to say that the worldis going to end.
Right, the world is never goingto end, not in.
The world is never going to end.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let me know another 40, 50 generations before that
happens.
Not even no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
The civilization of human beings will probably end.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, but the world will not Got you.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
The planet will not end it will just keep going.
The dinosaurs are gone, it'lllike uh rejuvenate yes, it'll
just start something different,gotcha yep, because it's
happened before yes, and well,as far as we know, as far as we
and you can question that, allyou want.
Now we have these things thatare fossils, yeah, and we're
finding them in dirt, we'redigging them up and we're
(18:23):
putting them all together like apuzzle and all of a sudden you
go to a museum and boom, there'sthis bony dinosaur, right.
So we believe that they reallyexisted.
How the fuck do we?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
know they could have planted those things there.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
How the hell do we know?
We don't know.
That's the crazy part, butanyway, yep, moving on.
That's a nice segue right thereI don.
The internet has changedeverything.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well, how do you think that article came up on
Doomsday?
They're probably hearing us,absolutely, you know.
Yeah, I mean you and I havebeen talking about it and all of
a sudden, boom, the internet,though.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's like a time warp .
It's the Wild West without thephysical guns.
Okay, people just fight.
Fill me in here, all right,there is no regulation.
No regulation over the internet.
Oh, true, right, yep, I can saywhatever the fuck I want right
now yeah, you could throwf-bombs out there I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I'm trying to.
You know, sammy jay's probablylistening sammy jay ham, ham's
probably listening.
Ham, we don't want to have youknow, they're virgin ears you
got a potty mouth.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Congrats ham ham.
Congrats on the new job yeah,I'm coming to see you, buddy oh

Give me a call, though, but theinternet has changed everything
the way we do things, everysingle way of life.
You can buy a car on theinternet.
You can buy a house on theinternet.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, you can have it delivered right to your house.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I was on house arrest .
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Because I'd done a lot of shopping.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Because of my ex-wife , right and here.
I was sitting here and Irealized at that point you don't
have to do anything, right, ifyou're a stay-at-home person
that works, you can doeverything from that chair.
From your chair.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, from that chair .
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's like if you really have any kind of desire
to get out there and dosomething, then you get up and
go Right, but if you're a lazysack of potatoes, you literally
don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You can stay right in your pajamas.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Put your slippers on and sit in your chair.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You can have a doctor visit.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I've had them Over the internet.
Absolutely my doctor's inCalifornia.
Get off your lazy fat ass andget out there.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Get out to California .
No, outside, go see somesunshine.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, Vitamin D man.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Listen here, casper, get the hell outside.
But yeah, it's.
And the crazy part is, at thispoint in time, I'm telling you
this is a hundred percent true.
If you want to know what'sgoing to happen, look to your
kids.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh, they can tell you .
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Look to your kids.
You're not out in front of them, they're out in front of you.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
They're out in front of us, I.
They're so far out in front ofyou.
I totally agree.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I'm I've been trying to corral my son to give me
advice to do this and make itbetter.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Right, because he knows the ins and outs of social
media and oh yeah, and well,it's funny you say that, because
I just got a new phone and Igot a couple messages popped up
on certain apps and I don't knowhow to get rid of them.
I handed my phone to my niecelast night.
You know she's in her early 30s.
Oh gone, she goes.
Here you go, uncle keibler,here you go.
I was like, thank you, that'sit.
(21:30):
And I was like, what did you do?
She goes, I don't worry aboutit.
I'm like, okay, I mean thatthat I was gonna learn.
I mean maybe I could pick up athing or two, but and that
really, it just comes natural tothem it does.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
you know it does because they like it comes more
natural to me than it does toyou.
Oh, absolutely, because of thatlittle generational gap that
I'm talking about, because Iknew I grew up with it, right.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I've known it Now.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
What's happening today?
I'm far beyond.
I'm way behind Right, because Idon't do that stuff.
I'm out there building housesand banging nails, yeah, but my
son is here figuring out how tosell digital fish.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
What the hell is that ?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, exactly, he's making businesses by selling
digital things.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Holy moly.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yep, that's where it's going.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Imagine if you said that to somebody in 1957.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
They'd be like what the hell is a digital fish?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, you want a fish Go down to the pond.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Teach a man to fish.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
He'll eat for a year, or he'll eat for a year or
he'll eat forever, but yetthat's what's happening and
they're learning how to do itand they're understanding it and
they know how to use thealgorithms and all that stuff
and they know what to do.
So if you need to know anythingor you want to get anywhere,
just ask.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Look to your children , yeah, because I mean and so it
really takes out what ourgrandparents said way back when
oh, yeah, mean the next 15 to 20years, I'm going to be
hopefully having my grandkidsyeah, hopefully somebody's in
diapers, you know and I'll bewatching them grow up and it's
going to be like what are theygoing to teach us?
You know, it's going to be thatmuch, far that more advanced, I
(23:03):
should say.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And that's really the way everybody should look at it
.
Yeah, instead of this life isgoing to be awful should look at
it instead of this life isgoing to be awful, Right.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I shouldn't say I'm worried what my daughter's going
to do or what my son's going todo.
I should just wish him the bestand just go along with the ride
for the ride.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That's exactly it, because this really is where
ignorance is bliss.
Yeah, if you don't knowanything about 1950 and you're
in your own life right now, juststay in your own life.
You'll be just fine.
Yeah, don't, don't.
And maybe they should nevercreate time travel.
Oh my God, because if you seehow simple it was back then as
compared to now, you might belike you know, I don't want to
(23:36):
go back.
No, I want to stay here andwear popped collars and weird
shoes.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Talking about that, I just got a haircut.
And there's another thing whatdo they call those Duck asses?
Another thing what do they callthose Duck asses, the haircut
seats?
They get back in the day, ohyeah.

Anyway, I'm here with Keeleytoday.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hey, how's it going everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We're talking about generational change.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Remember when your grandmother used to say stuff
like oh, this plan is nevergoing to be good enough for
these kids.
I don't even know why we'reraising them.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh yeah, my mother used to say the same thing back
in the day.
It's like I don't know how youguys are going to afford to buy
a house.
We can't even afford ours.
It's like, all right, we'll seewhat happens.
But I mean, I get what theywere saying, because I said it
to my kids.
I don't know how you guys aregoing to make it.
I just hope that everythingworks out for you.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I've said the opposite the entire time.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Really.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, it's like yeah, yeah, you don't like, you don't
have any.
They don't know any different,they don't know, what it was
like in 1950.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Right, so they've kind of plant the seed in your
head and then you're like howthe hell am I going to make it?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
You know, yeah, how am I going to walk uphill both
ways of school in the snow?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, barefoot, barefoot, I used to hear there
you go.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's what it was all about.
I mean, there's boomers,there's Gen X, there's
millennials, there's Gen Z,there's all kinds of different
things going on.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And the difference between all of them.
It's huge.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Exactly.
The gap is huge, exactly, andit just amazes me how we all
adapt to the current situationin front of us.
Either well, we're going todelve into this or dive into it.
I should say how, back in theday, only one person worked.
Now it's like both spouses workif you're married, and usually
(01:59):
you have a part-time job just tomake a little extra money.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You have to, you have to.
That's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Exactly.
So yeah, mrs Keebler was niceenough to find this article.
What they Said in 1957.
Well, let's hear it.
And the first thing, one of thethings was ah, I'm not sure how
we're going to mail a letterwith the potions and I'm a
postal worker with the potions.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They cost five cents.
That's why I'm laughing.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Now it's 73 cents.
Is it really?
It's up to 73 cents for aletter stamp?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
That was like minimum wage in 1950.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, holy shnikes.
75 cents was minimum wage, nowit's 73 cents to mail a stamp or
mail a letter.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It would take you one hour's worth of work in 1955 to
buy a stamp today, today, crazynikes, that is crazy, that's
insane another saying.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They said uh, not sure how they're gonna afford
groceries when it costs 20 aweek.
Now that was in 57 and I don'tknow about you, but for me, if I
do a full groceries it's 200.
You know, if you're doing likethe meats and the vegetables and
the fruits and then if you haveto get paper products or stuff
like that, yeah.
(03:12):
Freaking crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Forget about when you need to actually like
toothpaste and shampoo.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Exactly, yeah, but they said, like you know, 20
bucks back then I mean, eggs are10 bucks a dozen.
Exactly, there's half your.
You get what?
Two eggs a day for your meals.
Quick side note yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What the fuck is the?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
bird flu.
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Birds get the flu.
Give a shot, get them outApparently, get them back out
there.
How?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
about.
We vaccinate the birds Exactly.
The humans don't want thevaccinations, that's what I'm
saying.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
What the fuck?
We got all these flu shotssitting around.
Give them to the birds.
Let's get eggs down.
Let's get eggs down, jesusChrist.
Unbelievable.
It's like the people at thegrocery stores Might as well
have a gun and a mask.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Come on in.
Come on in.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
We want your money we want your money, son of a bitch
.
Well, yeah, that's some crazystuff, you know, yeah and uh,
it's different.
And so in this day and age now,we laugh.
We were laughing at this becausewe remember what our parents
said, what our grandparents saidyep and all that and it's like
I'm looking at my parentsnowadays and I'm like no guys,
(04:21):
these kids will be fine, it'sjust going to be the way they
live.
Right, just like me, right Likeyou said, my grandparents were
like oh, these kids, we'releaving a world of terrible
place for these kids.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, here's the thing, you know.
I mean minimum wage is howpeople adjust, but that's one
thing that really hasn't gone upall that much.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Minimum wage is a crock of shit.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong you have certain
states, most of the so-calledred states, and I don't want to
label, but the southern states,most of them, are still $7.25 an
hour.
Back in the day it was what?
In 57, 70 cents or 50 cents anhour, somewhere in that area.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I think it was 75 cents 75 cents an hour.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But now you got like District of Columbia 17.50.
California 16.50 an hour.
Connecticut is 16.35.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
we're up to my first job paid me that.
My first job that I ever hadwas for a corporate America
conglomerate.
Okay, you see them everywhere.
They're in every restaurant.
Yep, it's a soft drink company.
Oh, I know every restaurant.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yep, it's a soft drink company.
Oh, I know, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And they paid me that much to work part-time on the
weekends, really.
So if you're going to sit thereand tell me that you can't Back
in, what the 80s.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
No 70s, come on 90s.
I'm not that old it's 90s.
90s is all I'm thinking about.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
In mid-90s Alright, mid-90s.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I apologize, Ditto.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But they were paying me that then.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Really.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
For part-time.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That was good money.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, if you could sit here and tell me that
minimum wage makes a difference,I will just give you the
proverbial middle finger,because get out there and get a
fucking job.
Right, that's it, anybody.
There are people looking forwork workers all over the place,
oh, absolutely.
And if you're going to sitthere and complain about minimum
wage and how it's not enough,then you're not looking for a
(06:15):
job.
Exactly Sorry, you're just not,you're not.
Right Because at 15, 16, 17years old, but it was 16, 17, 18
years old because I had to beable to drive.
I found a job that paid wellabove minimum wage.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, that's part-time money, right.
So you're talking.
I think I was only makingthat's when I started the post
office, probably right when yougot into the workforce in the
90s and I left the hospitalwhere I was a transportation
clerk, a transporter for thex-ray department.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What'd you do?
Take the patients from floor tofloor.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I brought them from floor to x-ray.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Oh, I thought you actually drove them in a truck.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
No, no, no, no, no Big yellow bus.
No, I was down to wheelchairsand stretchers.
That's all I could handle.
Pushing the new moms out thedoor.
But I was making 7.25 an hourthen and then when I came to the
post office I jumped at itbecause it was like 11.25.
That's what I started at 1993and I started the conglomerate
(07:15):
in 94 94, april in 94, and youmade good.
That's good money I was.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It started at 13.25 an hour, right, and I only
worked only worked Saturday andSunday.
Okay, I was in school,obviously.
Yeah, yeah, because I was stillin school at that time and I'd
make like $200 or $300 a weekenddoing virtually nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, yeah.
It's like you go out there andyou just look.
It's not hard to find the moneyif you want it.
The people that are complainingabout minimum wage at this
point are people that don't wantto work.
They're looking for the reasonsto not do something.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So let me give you another good one here.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Here we go.
I got off the top.
If this is a joke, I'm going tolose it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No, no, no, no.
Speaking of that, we're at thehospital now, so I'll stay with
that.
Back then was you're crackingme up, guy?
I'm in a good mood today.
I see that I am Back at thehospital for a one-night stay
was $35.
Now $3,500.
You're pretty damn close.
$2,800 is the average for onenight in the hospital.
(08:16):
And that's what 70 years later,or just under 65 years?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That's a lot of cash.
That's a huge contributor tothe divide of wealth in this
country.
It's like people that haveinsurance.
Insurance is just paying thestuff out, yeah, and then
charging everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
But you couldn't.
I mean they were complainingback then.
35 bucks, I mean don't get mewrong, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But Well, back then you could probably buy a house
for 35 bucks also.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Oh, I got those numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, in 1950, I bet you, a house cost probably
$12,000.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
$12,200 was the average.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Holy shnikes I am a prophet.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
You're on fire.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I know everything.
There isn't anything.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know.
So that's funny.
You say that because in 12,200,1974, when my parents bought
their first house, when myfather, he actually had a heart
attack 21 000 29 9 was theirsyep he actually they got a big
house stressed out that hecouldn't make the payments
because my mother was still back.
Then you had stay-at-home moms,you know, and she didn't.
(09:18):
She didn't get to go to workuntil after we were in high
school.
That's when my father I'm notgoing to say allowed her, but
thought it was a better ideabecause we were old enough to
take care of ourselves.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, the same thing happened with me, just for a
point of reference.
Yeah, my mother stayed home for13 years.
She was a school teacher.
She started out teaching Right,my father worked, obviously, my
mother worked as a teacher.
Yeah, my mother worked as ateacher, yeah.
And then she stopped and raisedthe kids.
Yeah, she raised all three ofus.
I have a brother and a sisterand she raised all of us for 13
(09:50):
years.
Then she went back, went back toschool, got a master's degree
in library science, really andwent back to school as a
librarian and killed it afterthat, yeah and she took those 13
years off to raise us, which,in this day and age, you can't
do that now, you can, you can,you can, but you have to be very
disciplined, and I think thereshould be some way that that is
(10:13):
able to happen.
Right, because I agree with youthere daycare and child care is
wildly it just sucks upexpensive.
It sucks up the other.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Uh, yeah, they didn't have that back in those days.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
No, because everybody stayed home.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Everybody stayed home or your grandmother would watch
you yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'm not sitting here saying that you should be
supplemented for staying at homeas a mother.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No, no but there should be tax benefits for the
husband.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
That works Right.
So if you're a stay-at-home momtaking care of your children
instead of paying daycare,you're getting a bigger tax
credit on your overall taxes,like $30,000 tax credit.
Oh yeah, because that's what itwould cost a year per child,
exactly.
Because there's nothing moreimportant than staying home with
your kids.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So to bring that a little bit further, in 1991, I
bought my first house.
It was $130,000.
A little bit further, in 1991,I bought my first house.
It was $130,000.
In 2014, when me and MrsKeebler got married, we bought a
house $264,000.
That was 2014.
So this year my daughter, casey, shout out to Casey hey, bff,
(11:25):
oh God, she's going to love that.
Her and her husband just boughttheir first house for $480,000.
Now those houses are all aboutthe same size.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No kidding.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I swear to God.
Yeah, the ones that myself Ibought on my own, and then me
and Mrs Keebler and then Caseyand Anthony's, are all roughly
the same, but it's just theastronomical rise in prices.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's also due to the rise of people staying at
home and working.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So houses are now more desired.
True, that's true.
The house we sit in currentlywhere the studio is, I bought it
for $110,000.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's currently worth I don't know over $300,000.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I was going to say it has to be well over $300,000.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I moved out of here when I got married and bought a
house for $375,000.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
And then you sold it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Had to sell it after the divorce for $575,000.
Wow, it's now worth $700,000.
And that was in the manner ofeight years.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, so if you've got any real estate tycoons, if
you're thinking about it outthere, not a bad gig.
No, real estate is good.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You got to know when.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Got to know yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It's all about when Yep Buy low, sell high,
absolutely.
But you got to have the moneyto buy low.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
That being said, what the heck is a generation anyway
?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm not sure how they decipher how many years
it is, you know, and then whatthey name them.
I mean, I'm a boomer, I'm rightat the back end of the baby
boomers.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, you're a back-in-the-day guy.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Back in my day, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, I tell those stories now.
I used to hear that from myfather.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm a Gen Xer.
Oh yeah, you look like you.
Anyway, to this point, to thispoint yes, Gotcha, and it's a
sub-generation.
It's not even a wholegeneration, it's a
sub-generation.
Yeah, it's the people that wereborn between 77 and 83.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh, that little block right there.
That six-year little period isthe greatest generation to this
point in time in life, and howdo they figure?
That Because we can do anything.
Is that in your own mind or no?
They say you can.
We were the first ones.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We were the first ones to.
We were the last ones to usethe hose.
We were the last ones to ridethe bikes.
We were the last ones to gooutside till the streetlights
came on.
We were the first one withvideo games.
We were the first one withvideo games.
We were the first ones withtelephones, with cell phones.
We were the first one withinternet.
That six-year generational gapthere is the greatest generation
(13:53):
because we are the bridge toeverything.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
My father always told me, if I paid attention, I'd
learn something new.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, you haven't paid attention, have you no?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I've been wandering around aimlessly.
I got a good one.
I don been wandering aroundaimlessly, I got to go.
I don't understand how acemetery can raise its funeral
prices and blame it on the costof living.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Oh God, I knew that was coming.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Tell me how.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
They ain't moving out .
No, they're running out ofrooms.
I'm an idiot.
Pretty soon we're going to needbunk beds.
Oh man, imagine that Peoplewill be buried three feet deep.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You've got one at three feet, six feet and nine
feet.
Oh my God, no way.
That's a triple bunk bed,that's a three stooges there.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
By the way, Gen X, MTV oh, we're back on them.
I just want to say that becauseit popped up in the notes.
Gen X, MTV oh, we're back onthem.
I just want to say that becauseit popped up in the notes Gen X
MTV.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I did like MTV.
I still watch MTV.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, except they have no M on it anymore.
No, it's just TV.
It should be CTV.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That's right.
Crap TV Ink Master.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
We got Big Bang Theory on there.
I love the Big Bang, I know.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You keep.
I know you keep saying that andI think it's a stupid, stupid
show.
But why do generations thinkthe next one is doomed?
That's what we started thiswhole podcast out with.
Yeah, our grandparents thoughtour parents' generation was
doomed.
Or our parents thought ours wasdoomed, yeah, and I'm looking
at my parents now.
(15:22):
I'm like my kid will be fine,he's going to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's just the way it goes.
I it out, you've, and if youcan figure it out, if you can
figure it out, yeah anybody canfigure it out, exactly because
I'm stupid just like it.
I'm stupid profit.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm stupid, just like everyone else, but why do
generations think that like?
Why is it?
Oh my god, it's gonna be so badfor these kids when they grow
up I don't know.
I mean, it's like everybody'sthinking the worst I feel like
saying you're dumb just forsaying that yeah, I mean give,
give everybody a chance.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I mean look how it turned out, for you know our
parents than us.
I mean, do we have our hardtimes?
Yeah, but we figured it out.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, you know yeah, like right now, like I'm in a
hard time as it is.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Right, I'm like, well , you just got to figure this
out.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah, you're still here, let me go get the shovel.
Yeah, it's getting deep in here.
Yeah, got to throw some shitaround, but yeah, christ, got to
love it, you do.
What's this thing called thedoomsday clock that we've been
hearing about?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
oh well they, that's crazy.
That's crazy and it just poppedup the other day.
We were planning on doing thispodcast about this generational
gap in this generational changeand all of a sudden, the
doomsday clock pops up andscientists have lessened it by
one second.
Where it used to be 90 secondsto midnight.
Now it's it's 89 seconds tomidnight.
We're closer to doomsday, whichwe are, and I personally
(16:45):
believe that we're closer than89 seconds.
We're like 75 seconds.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I think you're probably right.
It's a lot closer than they say.
People are getting pissed, oh,absolutely.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And they're about to just start blowing shit up.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I hope not Me too.
I mean, we got to look aroundthe world at the crazy shit
that's going on and it's I don'tknow how we get these people in
office.
I mean not only our country, Imean that's a whole nother
episode.
That's another episode.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That's a deep state, the deep dark side of, like,
what really happens in the world.
You really think that DonaldTrump has any kind of say in
anything?
Nope, probably not.
He's a mouthpiece for thepeople that are bigger than him.
Right, and that's the way itgoes.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
There's never.
You're not going to change itunless you revolt.
You're talking about thisdoomsday.
I mean it's country versuscountry, it's the disease, it's
all this.
You know the weather.
I mean, that's all.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
This is.
I believe this is just a stupidthing that scientists have come
up with to say that the worldis going to end.
Right, the world is never goingto end, not in.
The world is never going to end.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let me know another 40, 50 generations before that
happens.
Not even no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
The civilization of human beings will probably end.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, but the world will not Got you.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
The planet will not end it will just keep going.
The dinosaurs are gone, it'lllike uh rejuvenate yes, it'll
just start something different,gotcha yep, because it's
happened before yes, and well,as far as we know, as far as we
and you can question that, allyou want.
Now we have these things thatare fossils, yeah, and we're
finding them in dirt, we'redigging them up and we're
(18:23):
putting them all together like apuzzle and all of a sudden you
go to a museum and boom, there'sthis bony dinosaur, right.
So we believe that they reallyexisted.
How the fuck do we?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
know they could have planted those things there.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
How the hell do we know?
We don't know.
That's the crazy part, butanyway, yep, moving on.
That's a nice segue right thereI don.
The internet has changedeverything.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well, how do you think that article came up on
Doomsday?
They're probably hearing us,absolutely, you know.
Yeah, I mean you and I havebeen talking about it and all of
a sudden, boom, the internet,though.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's like a time warp .
It's the Wild West without thephysical guns.
Okay, people just fight.
Fill me in here, all right,there is no regulation.
No regulation over the internet.
Oh, true, right, yep, I can saywhatever the fuck I want right
now yeah, you could throwf-bombs out there I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I'm trying to.
You know, sammy jay's probablylistening sammy jay ham, ham's
probably listening.
Ham, we don't want to have youknow, they're virgin ears you
got a potty mouth.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Congrats ham ham.
Congrats on the new job yeah,I'm coming to see you, buddy oh
boy, I never told, I'm justkidding.
Give me a call, though, but theinternet has changed everything
the way we do things, everysingle way of life.
You can buy a car on theinternet.
You can buy a house on theinternet.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, you can have it delivered right to your house.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I was on house arrest .
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Because I'd done a lot of shopping.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Because of my ex-wife , right and here.
I was sitting here and Irealized at that point you don't
have to do anything, right, ifyou're a stay-at-home person
that works, you can doeverything from that chair.
From your chair.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, from that chair .
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's like if you really have any kind of desire
to get out there and dosomething, then you get up and
go Right, but if you're a lazysack of potatoes, you literally
don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You can stay right in your pajamas.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Put your slippers on and sit in your chair.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You can have a doctor visit.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I've had them Over the internet.
Absolutely my doctor's inCalifornia.
Get off your lazy fat ass andget out there.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Get out to California .
No, outside, go see somesunshine.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, Vitamin D man.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Listen here, casper, get the hell outside.
But yeah, it's.
And the crazy part is, at thispoint in time, I'm telling you
this is a hundred percent true.
If you want to know what'sgoing to happen, look to your
kids.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh, they can tell you .
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Look to your kids.
You're not out in front of them, they're out in front of you.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
They're out in front of us, I.
They're so far out in front ofyou.
I totally agree.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I'm I've been trying to corral my son to give me
advice to do this and make itbetter.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Right, because he knows the ins and outs of social
media and oh yeah, and well,it's funny you say that, because
I just got a new phone and Igot a couple messages popped up
on certain apps and I don't knowhow to get rid of them.
I handed my phone to my niecelast night.
You know she's in her early 30s.
Oh gone, she goes.
Here you go, uncle keibler,here you go.
I was like, thank you, that'sit.
(21:30):
And I was like, what did you do?
She goes, I don't worry aboutit.
I'm like, okay, I mean thatthat I was gonna learn.
I mean maybe I could pick up athing or two, but and that
really, it just comes natural tothem it does.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
you know it does because they like it comes more
natural to me than it does toyou.
Oh, absolutely, because of thatlittle generational gap that
I'm talking about, because Iknew I grew up with it, right.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I've known it Now.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
What's happening today?
I'm far beyond.
I'm way behind Right, because Idon't do that stuff.
I'm out there building housesand banging nails, yeah, but my
son is here figuring out how tosell digital fish.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
What the hell is that ?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, exactly, he's making businesses by selling
digital things.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Holy moly.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yep, that's where it's going.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Imagine if you said that to somebody in 1957.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
They'd be like what the hell is a digital fish?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, you want a fish Go down to the pond.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Teach a man to fish.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
He'll eat for a year, or he'll eat for a year or
he'll eat forever, but yetthat's what's happening and
they're learning how to do itand they're understanding it and
they know how to use thealgorithms and all that stuff
and they know what to do.
So if you need to know anythingor you want to get anywhere,
just ask.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Look to your children , yeah, because I mean and so it
really takes out what ourgrandparents said way back when
oh, yeah, mean the next 15 to 20years, I'm going to be
hopefully having my grandkidsyeah, hopefully somebody's in
diapers, you know and I'll bewatching them grow up and it's
going to be like what are theygoing to teach us?
You know, it's going to be thatmuch, far that more advanced, I
(23:03):
should say.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And that's really the way everybody should look at it
.
Yeah, instead of this life isgoing to be awful should look at
it instead of this life isgoing to be awful, Right.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I shouldn't say I'm worried what my daughter's going
to do or what my son's going todo.
I should just wish him the bestand just go along with the ride
for the ride.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That's exactly it, because this really is where
ignorance is bliss.
Yeah, if you don't knowanything about 1950 and you're
in your own life right now, juststay in your own life.
You'll be just fine.
Yeah, don't, don't.
And maybe they should nevercreate time travel.
Oh my God, because if you seehow simple it was back then as
compared to now, you might belike you know, I don't want to
(23:36):
go back.
No, I want to stay here andwear popped collars and weird
shoes.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Talking about that, I just got a haircut.
And there's another thing whatdo they call those Duck asses?
Another thing what do they callthose Duck asses, the haircut
seats?
