The Next Generation Will Always Rip The Previous Generation

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode. Up. I tell you what, every
generation takes issue with the next generation or the generation
above them. Really, I mean, it's just kind of the
way it's been since the beginning of time, and Zers
now have an issue in millennials when it comes to
what Sam gen Z.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Is telling millennials to stop using lol so much.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's a big issue apparently. I mean, really, this is
going to be like a civil war.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Because a lot of times millennials and older generations in
general are using lol. They'll just kind of toss it
at the end of a sentence or a phrase or something.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
That doesn't apply. Is that the zer's issue.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
With it or not that it doesn't apply. They just
kind of use it a little loosey goosey. They just
kind of toss up, sorry.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
About your mom she passed yesterday, lol.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I mean is that I think if someone's using it
in that case, they those are the people that think
that it means lots of love.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Okay, that would be the baby boomers or something, don't you.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Get probably, But like millennials will say something like if
I say, if I text you and to say, Chris,
you smell funny lol.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, that means you're kind of joking, but there's also
probably a little truth to it.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
But yeah, it means that I'm like kind of trying
to maybe soften the blow by saying lol, but I
don't really mean it.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I'm not rather have you just say Chrissy smell funny
for sure that If that's the case.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I think that we have that general like friendship.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Or now a secure disc jock. He's just like, all morning,
I'm going funny? Is that her? I'm freshly showered everything.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I believe you.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
So what do we What are they supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
You're just supposed to drop it, just not use it
just at all, pretty much.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
So when you throw some humor out there and maybe
some dry or some dark humor, you're supposed to just
let it sit there.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's what I knew, though. I do it all the time.
I mean with you guys all the time. I don't
drop that laughing emoji or the lol. I'm like your
stink or whatever the whatever it may be, even if
I don't mean it. And then you guys have your
little reaction. And then if you if it's really warranted
and I sense it, you're about to cry then I say,
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I feel like you. I think that the younger, like
younger gen Z and Jen Alpha, the age below them,
so teenagers and preteens, I think that they have a drier,
darker sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I love it. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yes. I don't know if it's because they're perpetually online
or what, but like, there's just something about it and
I like it. I like it a lot too. There's
there's just this energy about them and the things that
they find funny.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I see that my kids they're gen zs. Yeah, and
it's the stuff that they look at, by the way,
everything that they look at online, the videos that they
show me. I don't laugh at any of them. There's
nothing really funny. But they're dying. They're dying, and I'm
looking at going, I don't even know what. I just
looked at that funny. Yeah, you want to be the
participatory dad. Oh my god, it's the funniest thing I've

(02:49):
ever seen.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, And it's just like I just sometimes sometimes I
don't get it and I'm like, elder gen Z.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, there's these like the videos are just weird. The
sense of humor is weird, but I'm glad to see
that it's a little getting a little more cynical or sarcastically,
a little darker. My mom, who was the greatest generation,
was totally that way, and I've talked about it on
the show. She cliche answers were not her thing. You know,
I told you the most famous one is my little

(03:20):
boy Jama was first born. I'm like, is he the
most beautiful kid you've ever seen? And she said like,
not my not my most beautiful grandchild or something. You know,
she'd say something along those lines, would be like, you know, no, actually,
actually he looks kind of homely. That's one time she
did to that, and I'm just like, oh, but normal

(03:40):
me in a conversation because some my cherished so much
my child, I was like, are you serious? And that
she would just give me a little wink. That was
that's my mom though. Yeah, or she'd be all, honey,
it's okay. But she never really like never said no,
she's just not even really I'm kidds they oh honey,
you'll be all right. I love that you're ugly to

(04:02):
as a child.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
To be fair, when babies are fresh out of the
fresh out of the oven, I don't know. They all
kind of look at yes, of course, because you are
hormonally programmed to think that they are the cutest, most
wonderful thing in the world, so you don't eat them
or something. It's true, it's true eat them.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, where does it say that in the book of science?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
You know, like hamsters will like eat their young, probably
because they're ugly.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Do I know that?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Do they do that?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Sometimes?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
How hungry do you have to beat to eat your
own kid? So they make baby? How do they? How
does that even? How does that species survive? Well, they
obviously down on their own.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
They obviously don't all eat them.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
No doves. It has to end sometime, you know, But
you don't you get to the age you're not making
any more kids. It's like, what do you eat than
your whole species that you know?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Everything you eat your kids kids.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
We don't have any kids to eat kids, kids to
eat at your kids?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yes, or like lions sometimes, like a male lion will
kill babies.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
So are you telling me that the gen zers and
these gen alphas are going to start eating their young?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sorry? I digress, I digressed a lot.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I don't think we did. Actually, I think we learned
a lot about.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, hampsters are ruthless. Yeah, no, they're just complied. Okay,
if we want.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
To go morel no more lol. Anybody millennial love should
stop using lol. Apparently we should just all be just
you say it, you mean it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
So millennials are defending themselves saying that without LOL, some
text can sound rude or harsh, and they say that
LOL prevents like unnecessary arguments because it makes things just
feel a little bit more light hearted.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, and it creates angst. I think they say if
you leave it out there without the LOL. Yeah, I
had this conversation my last boss. Really, yeah, I never
lo oled, So if you did LOL that, I'm like,
because that it's not funny when he lool it. If
you there's a little note of seriousness if you actually
sit and believe it. Or we have a conversation like
this that results from a text that I did in LOL,

(06:06):
that's what makes the bit. Yeah, well you go to LOL,
I'm like, no, it's cliche.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, it's just not your sense of humor either. No, No,
you have a drier sense of humor in general, so
you would you would just stare someone straight in the
eye and say something super sarcastic, totally joking.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh and I've been dude at the fair. It's a
lesson every year. People people don't no, I know, I
know it's awful. People in the building sometimes don't pick it.
It's awful. I know. I say things I deadpan very
very well.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
To be fair, though, when you're talking to people, especially
at the Fair, for some reason, it seems like people
only hear half of what you're saying. Anyway, There's like
there's a couple of times where I'd ask someone a
question and they didn't even hear it, and then I'd
look at you and you'd look at me and we
just laughed.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah. Yeah, they're just busy looking at our beauty.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I don't think that's what they're looking at. LOL.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
L l O l O llollo welloll, well that's my favorite.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I'd like to know what a good alternative to LOL
would be, or if we're just out here just going
with dry humor.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Talk back or anything else. They didn't comment anything that
we're doing on the show. Would love you, love your feedback.
We just sprinkled in as the show goes on. Sounds
kind of out of context. Later in the show's but
we reset it up a little bit like this morning
UBG time we're talking about Z's not wanting millennials to
use lol anymore. And then we played the talk back.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
And man, we gave you a large opening, the whole
gamut of different things you could comment on. Comment on
hamsters their babies.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
No content on Jen Alpha and zers eating their babies.
So there's Zeers have the had kids? Oh yeah, Zeers
have had kids now they're at that age.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yes, yes, Beers are pretty much anybody in their twenties.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, but I just think of my kids still is
being peanuts and they're yes, you know what I mean, right,
Jen Alpha? Yeah, what is that? Where does that? Where's
the top of that round? They don't have kids yet.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
I think that's like fourteen and young.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well, they're the ones to watch. When the first one
has a kid, we're gonna have all eyes on it.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'm sure that there's some Gen Alpha with kids already.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
They eat them. Those. My question.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Probably, Hey, your kids, could they have kids?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Watch tomorrow on the news. All of a sudden, you know,
everything's the news alert, John Alpha. Children are now eating
their own children.
