Leila: today might not be superior towards our template
would it be?
David: No Yeah, we're doing sort of something a little different.
We're doing something a little different this episode but
before we get into that, we just want to thank Parker Kane again
for making that beatbox worse he also made he also made this
little ditty Should I do it now or wait? Wait, okay, wait.
Leila: Oh, you can do it now. It's fine.
David: Okay, well, are we ready? Because you've got one ready to
go right? You don't want to do get ready for your Leila read a
little thing he does at the end. Oh yeah. Let's hear what
Unknown: Leila read.
David: That's awesome. That's so good. So Leila,
Leila: so I was talking the other day, something I think I
was talking about walking the class. And I was talking about
how I walk on the right side of the hallway like a normal person
because some people would be walking in the middle or on the
left side when they're going on the left side on the wrong way
going the wrong way
David: should be able to just walk over people if they're just
like as if they were not they're going
Leila: against the traffic and people don't want to move he
just bumped into each other.
David: What did you call it hall ticket like hall ticket we can
we can make a shirt with that like a top view of a hallway.
And like arrows. Yeah. Like follow the hall etiquette. Oh,
wow. So this episode, what we're gonna be doing is okay, so
here's the the genesis of what's what's happening. We I went to
give Leila some money for a field trip. And I was like, you
know, I keep a little cash in my drawer. And it was getting low.
So I was like, I need to swing by the bank and get some money
but I want to get small bills, so I can't use the ATM. So I
actually have to go into the bank. And I was like, Hey,
welcome to the bank with me. She's like, okay, so go on the
bank. And she's like, looking around and she's like, oh, you
know, and I'm like, wait a minute, Have you never been
inside of a bank before? And she's like No 13 You never been
in the bad weeks to go in the bank like twice a week because
you had to do stuff you know you had to had to cash checks or you
know everything's electronic now so that got me thinking and we
were thinking about something to do this week we've been super
busy that's why we're releasing releasing a little later normal
but um we got anything of what else that was like daily life
stuff that Leila has no idea about. So we're going to that
was that was a weird audio artifact there I don't know if
that's gonna come through in their final recording what from
my childhood and teenage years does Leila actually know about?
So we're gonna be I'm going to be quizzing Leila on 90s
Nostalgia Yeah, we're gonna weave in some facts and then
I've got I've got some slang and we're gonna see if Leila knows
what this language she doesn't have anything up on our screen
right now. Yeah, but before we get started, I want to go ahead
and I want to go ahead and hit the value for value this is a
value for value podcast we we put the shows out for free and
always and if you receive any value from the show if you you
know when you see a new episode on your podcast player, get a
little excited, you know something worth something to you
put a number on that, put a a contribution in some other way
on that and return some value. Like I said earlier, we always
need show topic. Next, we have the toughest time coming up with
what to what to do, you can go to Fun Fact friday.com and click
episodes. And you can see the 176 other episodes that we've
had before this one and we have done so much stuff. So, we're
getting we're getting to where we're like running out of stuff
to talk about what we'll come up with something. Or you know, if
you want to do monetary donation like these fine folks I'm about
to talk about you can do a boost and a modern podcast app for new
podcast. apps.com uses tiny little amounts of Bitcoin and
sends it straight to us. And we got some boost, we got one from
Bulli. Steve stayed for episode 176 speed with Ashlyn Greg speed
and we got 12345 sets 12345 That's 12,354 Satoshis. What a
great interview. Fun Facts all around entertaining, too. So we
got facts, and we got fun and we released on Friday.
Leila: We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. The first
time we done that. Okay.
David: Continuing the the comment. Looking forward to the
swear word drop. didn't mention that thumbs up hammer and then
angry face emoji are like hurt face. I can't really tell where
they're supposed to be angry or hurt. It's a red emoji face.
Yeah, I think we talked about it on when we talked about you. At
the beginning. I said something to Ashlyn? Yeah, about swearing.
Yeah. And you mentioned Anyway, anyway. What?
Leila: Okay. The next one we got from just listening is 1776
sets, which is 1736. And it says, Hello, Fun Fact, Friday.
I'm loving the beats and the boxes on the beat boxing
episode. Yep, that's episode
David: 175. And then 3333. That's 3333 sets from Allen see
Paul, I met him down at pod fest. I've done some great
music. And also does a show called God and gigs. Nice
podcast. I think that one's normally pretty family friendly.
So, you know, Parental discretion advised though. And
loved all of this, Greg and Ashlyn are inspiring and a ton
of fun, too. We agree. We definitely agree we had a really
good time with the speed family. So we are going to be moving
into the quiz portion of the show. And just a second, we have
one more thing before. I just wanted to kind of kind of talk
about AI, and how it has been helping me. Like I wanted to
learn to code not like hardcore code make, you know,
ridiculously cool complex programs with just small stuff
like JavaScript, and, you know, even like batch files that do
stuff. And this week, with the help of some, some large
language model, quote, unquote, AI. Yeah, I have learned more
about JavaScript than I have an any of the courses that I've
taken on it, because I asked it to do something, I asked the AI
to help me or to write the beginnings of something for me.
And I learned by doing so like it gave me the code. And
obviously, if it doesn't work first go, right. So I had to go
in, and I had to, and by going in and quote unquote, debugging,
what the API gave me. I learned how the logic works, how the you
know, and I was just like, wow, this is like the best tool for
me to learn how to how to do this stuff. But with the help of
AI doing most of the heavy lifting. I made a cool chapter
art image creator. Yeah, it was super cool. It's really neat. I
was really
Leila: tired last night, and we showed it to me and I was like,
David: but then she got up this morning to show it to her. She's
like, Oh, that is neat. Yeah, it can batch take all the raw
images, slap them on our our hexagon background and stick our
logo in the bottom corner. Yeah, it's really neat. All on one
batch one, one command. Really neat. And then I also wrote one
that writes the shownotes and the feed for me. It doesn't
itself use AI. It's not like we're having AI listen to the
show and write our show notes for us. Like we still make the
show note links, but it spits out all the XML that I need for
the for the feed, it just makes it just it just saves shave some
time off of the the post show stuff. So anyway, I'm proud of
myself. I know that it did most of the work but I did also learn
a lot so it was neat. On to the 90s
Leila: It feels so weird because I just closed my computer and
I'm not looking at anything and work right. So normally
David: what you got you got cat you got your rat guy on the
whiteboard that I haven't erased in like forever. And then you
got your your Miku your little three be printed
Leila: from her hair.
David: All right, so I was I was a teenager in the 90s. Were you?
I was from age eight, I guess. 787. Right, whatever. They're a
dog in my backyard. And I think one of the little wiener dogs
next door may have gotten into the backyard. So yeah, you might
hear that in the back. All right, so let's get into it.
Yeah. Oh, wait for you. I'm going to read you something and
you tell me if you have any idea what I'm talking about. Okay.
This is from the nostalgia section. Best line on life. The
pain of seeing your Tamagotchi die? Yeah,
Leila: no, I've used a Tamagotchi before. Yeah, no.
Tamagotchi
David: is like a little virtual pet. They're really neat. They
were real big in the 90s when they first came out. All right,
singing along to the AOL dial up noise.
Leila: Now I've never used AOL. So but I think I've I've heard
that I looked at it before, right.
David: So um, but do you know what AOL was?
Leila: No. Okay. So AOL
David: was kind of the first big national chat room? No, well,
they had channels, but it was the first internet service
provider that most people had. So you would dial up into an AOL
server, and you would be able to get on the internet. Now AOL
didn't want you to get on the internet, they wanted you to
stay in their little ecosystem. So instead of typing in, Googled
it, and existence time, instead of typing in google.com, you
would use an AOL keyword to get where you want it to go. So
like, it was all kind of a walled system, it was just
anyway, it didn't work out. And they had they made so many CDs.
Do you know what a free like they'd send you a CD in the mail
with their software on it. And a free month, where the beauty
was, is there was a code on each CD. And you would just win your
14 day free trial or a 30 day free trial or whatever went
away. You just took one of the other CDs they mailed you
because they mailed to one a week. What? Yeah, you had so
many AOL CDs, they were everywhere.
Leila: Like give you a free month. Trial every two every two
weeks? Yeah.
David: Because like, whoever's in charge has sent out CDs or
like just keep sending them we get to do many or whatever. But
we had free internet for like years because of the AOL No, it
was it was a hassle every month or whatever we had to go and you
know, re redo the whole thing. But anyway, that was that was
before there was a whole lot of competition, especially in more
rural areas. Do you know what I Ecto Cooler is?
Leila: No.
David: An Ecto Cooler was a tie in between the drink company
high sea and Ghostbusters. Hmm. Because the Ghostbusters
ectoplasm is like, you know the whole thing. And they made green
high seas. Because there were slime in the in the Ghostbusters
movie. Slimer was green. Oh, yeah. All right. So wondering if
Ross and Rachel would ever get back together?
Leila: I don't want friends. Okay, but
David: you know, it's from friends. So that's good enough.
That's that's a few points here. As well, I'm getting putting
points on.
Leila: Oh my god, you could just you could just make a scoreboard
off to the side, you know?
David: Well, you know what? I don't like your attitude.
Alright, so I'll just I'll just put a put a put up an eye for
everyone you get.
Leila: Okay, so we got one.
David: You got one now too. It was Ross and Rachel. Okay. So,
yes. Trying to determine which Spice Girl you are most like.
Leila: I've done but I still have no idea. Oh, well.
David: I don't know either. Let's just Let's just say, let's
just say Posh Spice. Do ginger because he had no personality
traits except red hair. Personality. No, it's just
everybody can identify with her. Yeah. Alright, getting excited
to show off your Trapper Keeper.
Leila: I've done that.
David: I have a trapper Trapper Keeper. I do. Those came back.
Yeah. Yeah, they don't they're not real durable. All right, the
joy of getting the last copy of a movie at Blockbuster. Oh, no.
I have. I haven't. You haven't ever experienced an experience
that I don't think I can give you a point for that. Because
there's no way you can ever feeling yeah, there's no way
because like, it just it was just pure joy. Especially if it
was a new release. Oh, yeah. All right. Watching OJ Simpson's low
speed car chase, and subsequent trial play out on TV.
Leila: I have no idea who OJ Simpson is. I'm gonna be
completely honest. Okay, I've heard about this dude for my
whole life. I think
David: I heard the name. I've heard
Leila: the name but i What did you do? You know, okay, so
David: OJ Simpson was A football player. Okay. Okay. And
American. Yeah. Yeah. And, and something really bad happened to
his wife and, and her new husband or ex wife, I guess.
Like he got he got accused of it. Because Because he probably
did it. Allegedly. Okay. So there was a Yeah, there was a
low speed car chase. He was a white Bronco. And it was on an
LA. And there's like 13 cop cars behind them, but they were going
like 30 and it was on all night. We were at a hotel room that
night for whatever reason we were on vacation or something.
And we're like, what is going on on the TV? There's just as my
lowest low speed car Jason that had like 10 helicopters watching
it. Oh, it's crazy. Okay, you are aware of cell phones that
are size of the break? Yeah, actually seeing in touch. Those
are pretty cool. Wearing a plastic rain coats to test to
stay dry. I've
Leila: never done that before. But I've seen other people do.
Well, these were all clear.
David: In the night. Yes. So you can Okay, so we'll give you a
point for that one. All right. All right. All right. Coveting
your friends Super Nintendo system. Nope. Nope. All right.
Let's see. What are these? Oh, dear. Are you aware of what Lisa
Frank notebooks are? Yes.
Leila: I love Lisa Frank. Not as a person. Lisa Frank
David: has these these ultra violet? Like super pink and
blue. And like all these have
Leila: some of her I have a sticker collection. Right.
David: I'm gonna pop through a few more. Let's see. Oh,
Leila: it's on everything.
David: Eagerly taking pollution down to zero with Captain
Planet. What are you aware of?
Leila: Is that like a show? Yes. Yes. I've heard of that show
before the
David: point. Captain Planet was everybody watched that? I
didn't. But everybody else did. Having a huge crush on at least
one Saved by the Bell cast member.
Leila: I've seen one of them in person, but I haven't watched
the show.
David: Yeah, we met Zach. Yes. Wishing your dad was as cool as
Robin Williams and Mrs. Doubtfire. No idea. No idea what
any of that. I noticed
Leila: out fires, like a show or movie as a movie. Yeah, so I
thought
David: oh, thinking Zima was the height of adult sophistication.
Leila: I don't know what Zima is.
David: Does it exist anywhere? It doesn't know it was a an
alcoholic drink. Ah that they had an ad campaign that was like
insane about how much they spend on ads. Okay, let's see. Slap
bracelet banned. Oh, yeah.
Leila: We had something banned. We don't have much things banned
at my new school. But at my old school, it was very strict
because it's
David: a charter school. Yeah, they banned everything. Yeah,
they banned like Beyblades are kind of reasonable. Yeah, yeah,
they can go fly. Practicing the Macarena in the mirror. Yes.
It's not in the mirror. But I didn't know how to do that in
the mirror. It's like you know, it's super easy. You know what
you look like doing it. Live smackers. You're aware of look
smackers. Let's see. Oh, thinking that the Gameboy Color
was the pinnacle of tech innovation. No, that was that
was a thing. Yeah, that was a thing they can see some of these
still apply today. It's like, oh, oh, here's one that you want
to understand. being disappointed when your disk mins
anti skip protection didn't deliver. Do you have any idea
what that means?
Leila: Oh, thing you can wear on you that has a CD player, or is
a CD player. And you plug your earphones in and you're like,
we'll go walk in. And then it skips. Yeah,
David: yeah, it skips because that is that tiny little laser.
Yeah, the slightest bump into jumps tracks. Yeah. How anti
skip work, is it there was multiple lasers. And it was
actually playing from the laser that was behind the first laser.
And it essentially had memory. That's cool. So it would like
and it would Yeah, it was really neat how it all worked, but
knowing all the words to Weezer's blue album. Okay,
Leila: how can I talk about that? I know all the words to
the Weezer
David: I don't know Yeah. Sam.
Leila: My name is Jonah is
David: is that it's our our LD word rule. Yes. Using ironic
incorrectly thanks to all this madness. Yes. The moot the song
ironic while on is Morissette is not none of the things that she
mentions are ironic. That's the irony. They're just bummers.
Yeah,
Leila: it's funny because my English teacher played that song
for us when we're talking about irony. Oh, yeah, yeah.
David: All right, so let's see singing the log a song from Ren
and Stimpy. What? The log song I
Leila: don't know that it
David: was a take off on the original. What's the what's the
toy, the spring toy? slinky slinky. It was a takeoff on the
original slinky commercial. And it was a song. But instead of a
slinky toy, it was just literally a log that they were
trying to sell you. And it was a log. log log. It's big. It's
heavy. It's wood. It's log log. It's better than bad. It's good.
Yeah, you've heard it before. I've sung it before and the car
probably Anywho. Gearing up gearing up for y2k. Ah, what was
what was y2k? It
Leila: was like this big crisis where everyone thought that like
the world was gonna explode because the computers weren't
gonna set back. Or the computers didn't know what to do. After 99
David: Okay, so back in the olden days, dates on computers
were stored, as you know, 8990 9192 instead of 1989 1991
You know, so, everybody was like, oh, no, the computers are
gonna think it's the year 1900 when it when it rolls over. 2000
The computers are gonna flip out and to be fair, no more right.
But like people acted like it was gonna be like, straight up
apocalypse. Like like it would be now if all our computers shut
down, but we get crazy about computer shut down now. But lose
our job. Like like little said, like, everything would explode
like the planet would explode. exploiters. Yeah,
Leila: I think computers malfunction.
David: I stopped keeping points. Dang it.
Leila: How dare you.
David: Okay, so let's see what's another what's on the another
one that that would? That's kind of entertaining. We could talk
about hearing the Tickle Me Elmo laugh in your sleep? Yes.
Leila: I'm pretty sure I've had that before. Didn't I have one
of those? No, I didn't.
David: You didn't have a Tickle Me Elmo. You had the rock band
Elmo. Oh, when you were really small sing with sing along or
sing with me Elmo or something like that? Yeah,
Leila: it's not like that. And then I got chewed up by the dog
and I got traumatized. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well,
David: hey, pager codes major chord.
Leila: Oh, are those like the beepers? Yes. What's the 143?
Yep. Yeah, I know those pager codes. Yeah.
David: So let's see. Oh, are you aware of what the Legends of the
Hidden Temple? Huh? I've heard of it before? Okay, so it was a
game show. And like you had to answer trivia questions, but
then you also had to run through this, like, hidden temples, kind
of like American Gladiators where like, the temple guards
would try and stop you. So alright, so la looks? Nope. It
was a, as you just call it product. Like, you know, like
hair gel and stuff like that. But it was everywhere for
teenagers. Gotcha. All right. So we're gonna go into a couple of
facts. Some of these have stuff to do with what we were just
talking about in 1999, which led to take gas and what a gallon of
gas cost.
Leila: 50 cent?
David: I wish $1.22 I remember my senior year getting down to
78 cent at one point. All right. So the Macarena? We talked about
that earlier. Colin Powell. I think he was the Secretary of
Defense, or something like that, even to the ocarina. And we had
let's see. 95 Oh, talking about OJ Simpson. During his trial, 95
million Americans watched the Oj oj simpson verdict on
television. Oh, wow. Because they televise the whole trial. I
remember I was in middle school. Want to say fifth or sixth
grade? Because yeah, cuz we were in the fifth, fifth grade, sixth
grade building. And they stopped everything and had all the kids
go to the two rooms and the whole building that had TVs. So
we could all watch it because they're like, this is history.
And it I mean, we're talking about it's 2024 now, so yeah,
okay, so this this one makes me wonder if AI wrote this or if
the person's just woefully misinformed. To get online you
had to use dial up or Netscape. Net Netscape was a web browser.
So that's like saying you had to use you have to use broadband or
Google Chrome. I don't know. Oh, broadband is just super fast
internet. Like are always on internet connection we have.
Yeah. Okay, so let's see, except for when it's not. In 1994 61
million people were using pagers. Wow, let's see did I
have one in 94? And I didn't get mine until like 95 or 96?
Probably Probably 96 is when I got for my first pager. Mom
wanted to keep up with me. You know, she'd send me a message
either call or go find a payphone or use somebody's
phone. Let's see. The most watched television series in
1993. Our most watched television episode was the
cheers finale. Your watch cheers. No, that's what Fraser
Yeah, that's where Fraser originally came from. The best
selling selling VHS tape in the 90s was Aladdin. Yeah. Do you
know what a VHS tape is? Yes. Oh, well, let's see. Oh, talking
about Tamagotchis earlier 76 million Tamagotchis were sold.
That's a lot a little little screens. Right is yeah. Let's
see the Nintendo Gameboy was the most popular portable console.
best selling novel. The 1990s was the Alchemist by Paulo coral
cola hole. I haven't ever read it. Nokia was the most popular
cell phone. Those invincible little, little blue phones. They
can play Snake on light bright was the best selling game in
1991. That is pretty cool. Like rights funds. Yeah, those are
the most popular snack in the 90s was a fruit roll up.
Leila: Yeah, I agree with that.
David: I agree with fruit roll ups. I agree with that. Oh my
gosh. Barbie Dreamhouse was the best selling toy in 1999. In the
same year, Bill Gates was worth $90 billion in 1999. Bill Gates,
yes. Minimum Wage more than that. No minimum wage was for 25
an hour. Nice. Everything was cheaper too. So it all came out
in the wash. Tetris was played in space. A first video game we
played in space. Yeah. Wow. Vanilla Ice is Ice Ice Baby was
originally a beside. It's not meant to be like his big
breakout single. Yeah. Are you aware of what a ThighMaster is?
Yes. Are you aware of what a mood ring is?
Leila: Yes, we have both.
David: They were invented by the same person.
Leila: Oh my gosh,
David: I didn't know that. So that's a fun.
Leila: That's a fun fact.
David: Fun fact, we finally got one on this episode. Okay, so
I'm gonna give you a slang Rebecca Quizzing. I'm gonna give
you a slang and you tell me what it what it means. You already
talk to the hand?
Leila: Because the face don't understand. No, because
David: the face ain't listening. What? Talk to the hand because
the face ain't Listen, Stan. No, it has to rhyme. They changed
it. Because we didn't rhyme in the 90s Excuse me? Totally. We
did not. It was not cool to run. Was it? We didn't rhyme in the
90s I'm telling you. Okay, baby talk. Talk to the hand. No,
okay. Anyway,
Leila: as if, Yeah, that one's more like a you gross. Right? I
say if I would ever
David: ever dot dot dot Boo yeah. That's kind of self
explanatory. It's just like, I don't want to be almost scrub.
Leila: Like a like a black guy. Yeah,
David: yeah. Not
Leila: it's kind of like a kind of like a It's just what it
says.
David: It was everywhere. Like it was in movies and stuff.
You'll be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll definitely go to the
movies with you. No.
Leila: No, the ball oh sorry. We got it. We got a red line
reached like an inch
David: that's what a compressor is for. A Monet? No idea you
don't know what a Monet is? You watch clueless who was on
clueless Alright, so a Monet is someone who from far away looks
good. But when you get up close they're a hot mess. Yeah. It's
like a thumb someone who's real good looking in the thumbnail
but then you actually make it bigger on the screen. You're
like, Oh, yeah. i
Leila: All right. Yeah. crunk. I don't even know how to explain.
David: It just kind of it's almost self explanatory. crunk.
Whatever. Yeah. To say you have to say it like that though. What
ever? Because that's how it was. Fly.
Leila: Pretty fly for a white guy. Yeah.
David: I fly pretty pretty fly. Right? Cool. Pretty cool. There
you go. getting jiggy.
Leila: Like getting down? Yeah, yeah. So like it's fine with
that. So I use
David: this for bugging out. Like,
Leila: like Tori Spelling sighs
David: Oh, that was me. All right. Okay, so yeah, bugging
out. like freaking out. Yeah. Yeah, like and it's funny now
because like, I think of like a bug out bag. I think of bugging
out is like, a bug out bag is when you have a bag, like a
backpack or suitcase that is full of all the necessities that
you would need. If you had to leave your house for an extended
period of time. It's called a bug out bag. So open a can of
Leila: them apples. No, I don't know. Open a can of whoop.
David: What? Nevermind. What? We'll just skip it. Skip it. I
think folks know what it means. We'll talk about it later as
kids show. A family show. You go girl. That's that's all that and
a bag of chips. Yeah. These stories is that still used
today? People still ever say that. Just kind of ironically.
Not actual, ironically. But what ironically means now?
Leila: Not really.
David: We don't say it anymore. Home skillet.
Leila: homeschool it dude are using that. I need to bring that
back. That's so funny.
David: Bring home skillet back.
Leila: I'm gonna bring homeschooling back. I've already
brought back a word, word,
David: word, but you do the W E or D version. Word. Kick him to
the curb. Yeah, just come down with him. That's not really 90s
Leila: not really gonna care about him anymore.
David: Some of these are just kind of self explanatory, like
there. But yeah, that's so that's some slang from the 90s.
Yes. And yeah, I think I think we just we just did a nice
little nostalgic trip.
Leila: I want to talk about our modern slang.
David: I want to talk about the modern slang. Yeah, let's get
some. Why not? Oh, because if anybody listens to it, you're
gonna be like, yes. I had to explain sling to my dad. No,
Leila: I kind of want to do it. But I'm not explaining Janelle
for because I'm not part of that. I do not accept
David: that. What is I don't understand when the generation
splits are. What's that?
Leila: What was that? It's good. It's been going on for like a
minute. Now.
David: Let me pause it. That was spooky. It's not recording. Yes,
it's red.
Leila: Is it right? Is it Oh, okay. I didn't know it was
recording it was red. And that makes sense, because it's
counting up. But
David: I thought it was the yellow. We heard a noise and I
don't know what it was. Like someone
Leila: was like sneezing, but like in a different room. No
other rooms. Yeah, we're
David: here. We're like air gapped from anything for a good
distance. It was weird. Maybe there's a ghost. So while she's
looking that up, I want to tell everybody I got the fence fixed
up with a tree fall on it and went out there with a little
chainsaw. My dad bought over his big chainsaw. And I was trimming
all the smaller limbs off with the little one. And he was
chopping the trunk into big sections. And then we fixed the
fixed defense up. I had an extra pole laying around and we're all
good to go. Was it only took like an hour? wasn't wasn't that
big of a deal. The the tree fell like dead center between the
posts. I'm just keeping y'all super entertained.
Leila: This is This is scary.
David: Oh no. What did you What did you look up make sure like
Leila: ahead. I know what most of these mean. I'm gonna
David: talk about the Super Soaker. Super Soaker was in the
90s. And it was my favorite. They had a whole line of these
amazing water guns that would shoot really strong beams of
water at your enemy. And we used to have epic water fights out
the backyard or my buddy Sam's house because he had just like
the best backyard for water fights. There's something going
on I keep hearing stuff. Maybe there's a little a little good
stuff going on. Is there a spooky ghost in the studio?
Hello, ghost. Why? Alright, so what do you have a couple. All
right, let's let's hear him. Let's hear him. We can always
edit if we have to. Yeah,
Leila: I'm trying to find one. That's you know, legit. Legit?
Yeah. A Mag. Mag. Yeah. What's a mag like a magazine? Like a?
Like you read a magazine?
David: But is it talking about a magazine?
Leila: It's talking about magazine gun magazine. Well, it
can mean both, I guess. Yeah.
David: Cuz if you say a mag typically you're talking about
the magazine on a firearm. If you're shook. What does that
mean? If you're shook that means like, like, unstable because
just like something's bald, like, Oh, no. That frightened
me. I'm shook. Like I'm shaking because of the thing that just
happened.
Leila: Like you stand. Yeah. Not necessarily like jogging. Yeah,
no, but yeah,
David: you know, I mean, like, Stan, that's that was the word I
was looking for. Yeah, it wasn't coming to mind because I heard
another spooky noise. Something's going on out here.
There's something spooky going on. Sports.
Leila: Do you want to pause again?
David: Are you good? Oh, good. I'm just gonna sit here. Keep
keep my head on a swivel in case I get attacked by ghosts.
Leila: This is Yeah.
David: All right, what else we got? Okay,
Leila: so we got
David: what else we got drip, drip. That's talking about
talking about somebody's clothing, right? Yeah, like
their style, their style in their particular clothing. What
does it mean about their style? It means that it's like, it's
just like, really good and cool. Yeah, like you're the coolest.
Like he's got drip means that he dresses well, and I appreciate
his style. Yeah.
Leila: A lot of these words are only like popular people words.
Like,
David: Oh, yes. This Tiktok language. Yeah, that's what
that's what it all is.
Leila: Do you know what like living rent free?
David: Yes, that is when you are constantly thinking about
something. It means it's living rent free in your head. I mean,
yeah, always.
Leila: I think you're kind of caught up. I'm not gonna talk
about Jen Alfa slang because oh my gosh, I use some of that. I
consider myself kind of like, prominently. Oh, yeah. What's
yours? Right on the edge. A lot of sites say 20 tends to cut off
and a lot of sites say 2012 cut off, but are for Gen Z. But I'm
kind of, I'm in 2010. So okay, so let's see.
David: And see these. No, they're all approximate years.
Now. This one doesn't go as one don't go to that says Gen
Leila: Z ends on 2012. Right? Like, what are these generations
post
David: millennials? Okay, so this this site says the
generations defined? The Silent Generation was 28 to 45. Boomers
is 46 to 64. Gen X is 65 to 80. I see I consider myself Gen X.
But yeah,
Leila: maybe it's just because you're like, like, NAFTA. Yeah,
David: it's, you know, it's three years give or take either
way, generally. Yeah. It's not like a hard cut off. I feel like
when you're on the cusp, like that I
Leila: can kind of millennial in you. But yeah, I can see a tiny,
tiny bit. Mom, there's mostly
David: there's a there's you know, influence. Yeah, there
always is. But anyway, Gen Z is 97 to 2012. Yeah. And after that
would be alpha. So,
Leila: so 2011 forward, or no 20 Give
David: or give or take, give or take, because it depends on
which site you're on. Like this one says Gen X ended in 79.
There's one that says 84. So there's everybody has their own
take on it. Yeah, I think that within five years of like,
whatever the they say the official is, I think there's
kind of a buffer, where you're kind of on the cusp. Yeah.
xennials is what they're called xennials on the when you're on
the cusp of Gen X and Millennial
Leila: would you call it his alpha z alpha. I really liked
that. Call myself as alpha. Actually, no, I'm not Gen Z.
Because I hate that.
David: Actually. Just call yourself a genetics. What Gen X.
Just say I'm Gen X.
Leila: Now I'm a boomer sorry. Actually.
David: That's all just labels. You know, labels are they're
never 100% on
Leila: I only use a little bit of Gen. Alpha slang because it's
really funny that they use it, right? Like some of them are
just funny as irony, but I've started using them like, not
ironically.
David: Okay, so I'm gonna look up while we're while we're here
and we're doing this traits of Gen Z of generations. Gen. Gen Z
generation, journey or journey Gen. Two generations. Okay,
understanding the characteristics of different
generations I didn't want to chart I don't want to read Haha,
I want to charge you really every show. Okay, so let's see.
Like liking for stress create what? I don't understand what
this means dominant personality traits across generations. Okay,
so we're just gonna go back to Baby Boomers. leads by
percentage idealism. Democratic pneus social confidence. Are
there big traits? Gen X competitiveness, social
adaptability and collaboration lab o return Gen Y, risk taking
emotional stability. intellectual curiosity. That's
the millennials Gen Z. Liking for stress. I don't know. I
don't know what that means. Creativity and motivation. So
this is from research, research. gate.net. Okay, um, so I'm
trying to find like a better chart. I know it's what I'm
doing. Oh, actually read generations at the workplace.
All right. Okay, so the personality characteristics core
values for baby boomers, optimism and involvement
involvement. For Genesis because it just only goes to Gen Y. This
is lame. That's
Leila: lame. That's lame. Come on, man. That's why it's in the
workplace. Oh, yeah, I guess that makes sense work yet. Or
some Gen Z doesn't work yet.
David: I guess that's makes sense. Yeah. So Gen X skepticism
fun and formality. That's, that's true. Generation Y
realism, confidence, extreme fun and social.
Leila: Like you're having too much fun. I'm gonna slide down
this slide. Great if you're just peeking everywhere this episode.
Oh my gosh.
David: Okay, let's see education. A dream a birthright.
Okay. Veterans is a dream. Boomers is a birthright X is a
way to get there. And y is an incredible experience. For they
consider education. What? for education? Yeah, but
Leila: what does that mean? Oh, okay. You're just so education.
Yes.
David: I'm telling you. This is what it says. Okay. Veterans say
that education is a dream that boomers say education is a
birthright. Okay. Gen X says education is a way to get there.
And Generation Y says education is an incredible expense. Not
experience expense. Yes. Read though.
Leila: All right. So that was confusing. Yeah.
David: How do they how do they deal with money? Veterans, put
it away pay cash. That's the greatest generation baby boomers
by now pay later. Gen X cautious conservative save save save.
Generation Y earn it to spend it? Yeah. Honestly. Yes, most
young people. So if you would have done that, that chart years
ago, they did an extra events. Now. I don't know. Again, these
are all just general generalities.
Leila: So all right, well, I gotta start adding home skillet
to my
David: Yes. I'm going to make sure that you get I'm going to
tattoo it on your arm. Yeah. So that you'll remember to use it
regularly. And like really janky letters to write. It has to be a
90s 90s.
Leila: Yeah.
