The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thanks listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast today. It's about
the habits that apparently you do if you're a boomer.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Okay, there is one habit that I now watch because
I watched Tom Sainsbury. You know how he does the
Boomer dead parody. And what he does is when sometimes
when people are concentrating, they.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Do this, they stick out their part.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yes, Jace, you did it the other day and I
was going to say boomer and then I went, nah,
he's just lost the chases.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I won't be doubly mean.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
So so you know, like if I'm looking at this
reading this paper, I'll go, I'm very and my ted doesn't.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
My dad does it, and our son doesn't. And I've noticed.
I thought it was just those two like a reef trade,
but clearly I do it too. I didn't even notice
I don't.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
He pulls the glasses down to his head and goes,
so I tell you that you did. So that's one, Jase,
You've got.

Speaker 5 (00:57):
One on the list.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Poky tongue out when you contra.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
So these are other reasons that you are technically a boomer,
even if you don't fall into that age bracket. Do
your text with one finger. I'm a two text, two
finger texter.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm both.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
I'm two thumbs, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Two thumbs.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah, what are you?

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Sam?

Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah, I'm a too eight.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
We're okay. Trying to pay with coins to park the car?
I do that sometimes, do you? What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Only because the taka parks collect coins are.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
And those ones there, especially because you get rid of
your coins.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Then I also feel like I'm beating the machine if
I can put a coin in versus my credit card,
I'm like.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
I'm a parking lottery guy. I'll do if there's a
coin machine, I will not pay, and I'll take the
chance of a ticket, and nine times out of ten,
in fact, ninety nine times out of one hundred, I
am a winner.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
You've been doing that a lot later and then what
happens is they don't put a physical ticket. You just
get it in the mail a month later.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
And yeah, you three times you get three at once swimming,
So maybe not.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Maybe Liken tis reasons you're a boomer. Do you own
a check book?

Speaker 5 (02:05):
No, neither.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
You use Facebook and not TikTok Now I use in
st and they haven't specified that, so we're okay, neutral zone,
we're neutral. I do have Facebook, I just don't use
it much. My face close your account and my Facebook.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Linked to my Instagram.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
So to the other one side, okay.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I don't really get this one. Miming a phone call.
Imagine you want to indicate to someone that you're giving
them a call. If you raise a thumb, pointt your
little finger, give me a call.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Give me a call, call you.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I think I do that too. Oh no, this is
so bad. I've just done this. Have you print tickets
or boarding passes for planes or concerts?

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Never?

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I do.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I do.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
I print tickets out. Just printed all my tickets for Matilia.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Even we went to Maclamore the other day. Ticket online.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Scan my phone, the one in my pocket just in
case something wrong.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Just going to tell you I agree with that at all,
because I just bought tickets to Matilda and they haven't
zapped onto my app.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
And I also can't print them. That foils their plan.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
You've just got the email. You just open the email code.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
These no attached tickets. They're like, these are mobile tickets
and they haven't gone to my app.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
The matrix. Yeah, and that's why do you use travago?

Speaker 4 (03:24):
It has happened, Jason's why you have doubles.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Sending or expecting to receive thank you cards.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
No, I even get annoyed when people see me happy
birthday messages on Facebook because I feel like I need
to respond.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
I sometimes send a thank you card. Not wearing sunscreen
or if you don't wear.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Sunscreen, you don't need sunscreen if you're in Italy.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh no, you're a boomer. Oh what about this? Opening
a car window.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
So you pull up to the traffic lights and lo
and behold is your friend of the car next to
you roll down the window for a.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yet I do that too.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Does that boomer?

Speaker 4 (04:04):
I don't know it's a good thing to do.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Turning the Internet off if you're the type of person
who tunes off the Wi Fi almost certainly.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
A boomer turning off to save money.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
They're saying, We've got friends of ours who has said
this to some sort of time.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't know how they do it, but like eleven
in the evening, they turn it off and then order
it goes on again this morning. But apparently so their
kids are a little bit older, can't sit around and
so I get there.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Okay, yeah, yeah, do.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
It though, But okay, if you reply this in a
text or end your message with this, if you say okay,
it's a boomer thing to do, okay, and I agree.
When someone textes me back okay, I think that grumpy
at me.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah, yes, same response. You give us an emoji, you
don't say anything, and.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I'll give you one more. And we've got a whole
lot more we can talk about later.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Ring tones, keyboard, camera noise, so any of that, like
if you tapping and you can hear the texts of your.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Off turn.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
So I think we've all worked out that we're halfway there.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Half we're working towards us. We'll get there eventualek.
