Producer Karna is here, and maybeI am getting a little old.
You know, we were getting readyto talk about baby boomers. And boomers
are people who were born between thebetween nineteen forty six and nineteen sixty four,
(00:21):
so you're about like, you know, you're knocking on sixties door and
up to like seventy five, they'reconsidered boomers. And people always talk about
the boomers. But on X theArtist formerly known as Twitter the Artists,
they are talking about the most boomercomplaints. And clearly I'm getting up there
because I can relate to a lotof these complaints, and I'm sure you
(00:44):
can too. Bring back laptops withDVD players. That was one of the
top boomer complaints that probably everyone canrelate to. Seriously, they don't have
them anymore, nowhere, nowhere tobe found, not even at a library.
Add this to the top boomer complaints. Stop making me talk to a
robot when I call customer service?Can I talk to a person? Yep?
(01:07):
What happened to talking to people?Yeah? That's crazy? Please press
one. And then even when youpress one, you're still talking to like
in the AI bought thing, you'renot talking to a person, yeah,
Christie, And then you constantly haveto repeat yourself representative min that's what I
say right away, So I couldjust try and get to a person asap.

Can we stop with the QR codesfor restaurant menus? Can I just
get a paper menu? Please?Plastic menu? That's cool. I'll take
the germs, I'll take my chances. Just give me a paper menu,
and I a oh man when theycome up to you and they're like,
oh, there's there's the code rightthere. Yeah, scan it. And
then you had to order your stuffoff of their too, which I can't
(01:49):
stand because I'm like, I don'thave any Wi Fi. I'm not getting
me internet service in the air.And my mom wouldn't be able to She
just wouldn't need at the restaurant anymore. She'd just be sitting at the table.
Miss Ruth would just be sitting therelooking at the little code, like,
what's going on? Can someone pleasebring me a paper menu? These
are the top boomer complaints that wereshared online that pretty much everyone can relate
(02:10):
to, and clearly I am aboomer because can we stop with the subscription.
Everything's a subscription. Can I justwatch TV without having to pay for
the channel? Or not even justthat? With newspaper articles that we get
like via our email, it hasto be a subscription to read it.
I can't stand that. And theheadphone jack. Can we bring that back
(02:31):
to because a lot of like thephones don't have the headphone jacks anymore.
And I still like headphones that Ican plug in. I have some wireless
little ear things, but a lotof times they fall out. I lose
them. You lose one, andthen you're just kind of like, hmm,
well that was great, and Igot to buy another another pair.
(02:52):

the boomer complaints, so called boomercomplaints because I don't know, I'm not
necessarily considered a boomer, but theseI can relate to all of these.

to add to the list? Bob? Yeah, I was born in sixty
(08:05):
four, so technically I'm a boomer. Okay, but even if you're not,
we can relate to a lot ofthe ones people have been shouting out,
what's yours. One thing that irksme is like, on the rare
occasional you pay cash for something atthe cash register and you give the cashier
the cash, and especially if it'sa young person, like if it's like
seven dollars and one cent and yougive him ten on one, then they
(08:28):
forget to put the penny and thenthey don't know what to do. They're
giving you like a ninety nine centsand cash, you know what I mean?
It is crazy, but yeah,and you try to explain it to
him and they're like, I gottaget a supervisor. Forget it, not
a supervisor just to make change.But yes, that is definitely something that
we can all relate to. Iwent to David Busters like a week ago.
(08:50):
Poor baby. He was at theregister and I was like, I'd
like to buy some gift cards.He was like, do we sell them?
Mind you? There is a kioslike a stand right next to him
filled with gift cards. I waslike, yeah, yeah, you do.
Here here you go on their rightcard. It's just oh man,

nowadays. I'm telling you, doaway with the paper straws, do away
with the QR codes for menus.Just bring back the plastic coated menu with
(09:35):
all the nastiness on it. Iwill take it as long as I can
hold it in my hand. Andcan we please bring back cash? Cash
used to be king and now cashis trash. You hand over cash and
people be like, do you whatis this? You know you're not gonna
