Ep. 41 Boomer vs. The College Kid: Okay Boomer is NOT the N-word of ageism, moving to the opposite coast, Avocados, Facebook is Old like me but David Bowie is not and a $10,000 Golden Retriever

from TheModernMoron podcast

A lot of non-news news In this episode which is not to say it isn't interesting because it is. Especially if you have a child that will be going to college soon… is in college or just got out of college. I talk to a young whippersnapper college kid. Not just any college kid but it's the Senator's college kid, and I'm not even sure if he knows about it. She is in her second year of college in New York. I ask her about the Okay Boomer tweet that got a bunch of attention recently which actually is an example of "fake news"... it was from a conservative radio talk show host who said "Okay Boomer is the N-word of Ageism" and went on to say it was a form of bigotry. Again, this is a conservative talk show host. So, I get her take on it as well as some reactions I viewed on it from a YouTube channel called FBE entertainment or "Fine Brothers Entertainment" which is a company formed by two brothers to create online content mainly on youtube and they are making quite a living at it. We talk about different generations and how it's just the same as it's been for hundreds of years only now we have catchy names for them. Boomers, Gen X, Y, Z and Millennials and apparently one of them is responsible for a shortage of avocados? Really? I think we should let them eat all the avocados they want. Would you rather have them all move to South Dakota and do Crystal Meth? Because I've been told that's a problem in South Dakota and that "Everyone is on it" but that's a different story and there's a link at the bottom as usual. We discuss the aging and complicated Facebook platform and interface, talk about a $10,000 Golden Retriever named after a David Bowie Character… and for the first time on this program the name Jenner and Kardashian is mentioned. I guess I should feel lucky that I've been able to keep that kind of garbage away from this pinnacle podcast of integrity. I know I'm late posting this and here's why… I'm a stickler for sound quality and fidelity in the recordings. This interview was conducted over the phone. I tried to tweak it and improve it as much as I could but it was a losing battle and I'm not tech savvy enough to have found a way to record guests that is simple enough for any guest to use and has a quality I'm satisfied with. So, maybe letting you know in advance that this is a phone interview will not deter you from listening to my very interesting guest. Crystal Meth Campaign in S. Dakota - YouTube Let's Dance - Chris Montez - YouTube The Jean Genie - David Bowie - YouTube The Worse Word - John Mulaney - YouTube Millennials And Gen Z React To OK Boomer Memes - FBe (Fine Brothers Entertainment | YouTube) Krystal Ball: Pete Buttigieg is the "OK Boomer" candidate - The Hill FBE - Fine Brothers Entertainment It's the Old Man and the College kid (food fight!) on the MM… thank you for listening...
