  Speaker 2: going to explore gen x, pride and.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Prejudice with our new friend jen x Gina. But first.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We're going to start with something that a lot of
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: men start with if we've been good, and that's lingerie.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Case you missed it, Sydney Sweeney has started her own
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: lingerie line called Siren s y Are in and not
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: since Bill Cosby pushed jail Low Pudding has a finer
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: match been made.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Of all things? Why are you comparing it to Bill Cosby?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Bill Cosby in Pudding?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Uh huh?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Because that's how my parents would get me to take
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: my medicine as a child. They would crush up my
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: prescription pills and put it in my pudding so I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: would take my medicine.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: How ironic.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought. When he got arrested and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I found out what for?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: It's like, man, my parents did that to me.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: My wife looked over very slowly, Like I'm like, I'm
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: not just I'm like put the pills in the pudding.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: They didn't do anything.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It was just, you know, that's just how because I
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: was a very sick child. It's a very sick child.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Had lots of prescription pills that I was on at
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: various times, and I couldn't swallow pills very well. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: my parents, like it was a capsule, you know, they
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: would just just pop it open and just pour it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: into into some pudding and then I would eat it
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and therefore take my medicine.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: You weren't a young Gypsy Rose.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: No, what's Gypsy Rose?
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I think she?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I think that was her name, the girl that her
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: mom fed her a bunch of drugs saying she had cancer,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: but she really didn't.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: She ended up killing her mom.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: God, I was thinking about the strip club in Austin.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: No, that's uh the Yellow Rose.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: My bad got my roses switched on her goes to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: show my priorities in life. Yellow Rose, I know that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Gypsy Roath.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a little.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Foggy, probably because of the medicine.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Anyway. Uh.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Sidney Sweeney has started her very own lingerie line. This
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: all started a couple of weeks ago when she was
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: busted for hanginging bras on the Hollywood Sign and that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: got posted on social media, and I believe it was
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the La County Sheriff's Department said they would be investigating
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: because that would be trespassing possible vandalism, to which I
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: think we all thought, I don't think there's a whole
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: lot to investigate here. He's on video, clearly Sidney Sweeney
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: hanging her underwear from the Hollywood Sign. I think the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: investigation is going to be pretty shortfellas. But it turns
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: out it wasn't just a silly social media stunt. It
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: was part of a guerrilla marketing campaign to announce the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: launch of her Siren Syrn lingerie line. Now Bill Cosby
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: putting aside, this really makes sense. And when you talk
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: about a celebrity coming out with some type of a
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: product these days, you don't really know what it's going
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to be, Like The Rock coming out with tequila, even
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: though he's got polynesia heridage and okay, kind of the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: same thing with George Clooney and mister Cindy Crawford they
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: had tequila as well. Ryan Reynolds doing a cell service
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: like what and gen and gin and soccer. So you
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: have all these celebrities that have these products, and a
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: lot of times they're surprising because they don't align with
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the things that you associate with that celebrity. This is
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: one of those that makes perfect sense. Sidney Sweeney launder
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a line. I mean, if the if the high heel fits.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, uh yeah, just bras alone, she can sell them.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And they are selling, by the way, it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: doing very very well. Sidney Sweeney's debut Seductress collection for
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Siren sold out in record time. Following a viral grilla
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: marketing stunt involving the Hollywood Sign. She draped dozens of
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: bras over the historic Los Angeles Landmark to announce the launch,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: blending the aesthetic of old Hollywood with a provocative modern edge.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: In other words, thongs, it's really what we're talking about here.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Following the massive success of the initial release, Siren is
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: expected to restock and expand its range, solidifying Sweeney's position
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: as a powerhouse in the celebrity led apparel space. No
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: surprise there, She's already used to solidifying things, and she's
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: also officially mastered the art of spectacle, so you know
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: what good on her. I'm a big fan in diversifying
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: if you can take your celebrity and leverage that into
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: other things, whether it's like if you're an actor getting
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: into directing and producing, or if you're a celebrity and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you're an actor getting into something else, like a bunch
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of the other people we already mentioned to, you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: carrying on a different thing, Like the reason why I
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: know what aviation gin is is because of Ryan Reynolds.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So it makes sense to capitalize when when you're hot,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you've got to take that opportunity and run with it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Sidney is doing here.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's I hate to say it, it's the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Kardashian model.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it and and they weren't the first.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, Trump, I think did it even before the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Kardashians did, with slapping his name and all sorts of products,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: with licensing deals, steaks, waters, other things like you couldn't
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: get away from it. And and it's very very common
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood to do it. It's just it doesn't always
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: land as well as some of these have. And I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: don't know why some do so much better than the others.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, but you know Sidney Sweeney and underwhere it's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you know that seems obvious.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I mean for me, the og of this category is Kiss.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely. They slap their name on everything and anything.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Horse, absolute Horse.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It really is amazing to have a legendary rock group
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: be considered bigger hores than the horse that they screwed
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: when they were on tour.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And it's really not even fair to those ladies.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Are you here's a side just I'll totally Are you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a fan of Kiss?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Not really?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I like, I like a couple of their songs, But
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to me, Kiss is such a weird, weird entity because
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it's they're not just a band. Gene Simmons like they
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: they were a show. They are an entity. They are
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a product, right, they are a brand. They're not just
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: out there singing songs. Because if you listen to the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: music and then you look at the band as they
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: perform the music, they don't really match because they kind
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of look like death metal when you see him in concert,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: but then you hear their songs like Beth Detroit, rock City,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: rock and roll, all night, rock and roll all night,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I mean one of my favorite songs as well. If
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I keep them from Loving You song, the one that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: was in the Fall guydeal. They have some great songs,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: but the music doesn't match the look. The look looks
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: like death metal. I let the songs the songs sound
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: a little more like I don't know, don Hinley, I just.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Don't think I I think they were to me just
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: kind of mid And I mean, if you made me
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: list top twenty rock bands, Kiss would not be would
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: not be on that list.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But if you did a top twenty rock brand, oh yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: he's they got to be in the top just because
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: they are so well known because of the branding. And
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you're right, I mean, Kiss slap their name on everything.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: If they could sell it, lunch boxes, the all time
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: what's that coffins? Coffins is the all time? Buy a
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Kiss casket. Now I'm thinking Sidney Sweeney could go into
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that same thing. Would well that's better than my initial
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: thought which was, well, just I mean, just you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a casket with Sidney Sweeney on it, so that way you.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Get to take her with you to the grave. But
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: also would yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Forever, would the Sydney Sweeney casket line anyway? Good on
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: her for branching out, but at the same time staying
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: well within her lane. It's like, here's what I'm known for,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Here's what.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Bamt Like Jessica Simpson out of nowhere. She had a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: shoe company and she's made more money on her shoe
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: company than she ever has with her music.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Which one of them from Kiss just died? Not Jeane
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Ace Freely?
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was Ace. It was Ace. Yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I wonder if he had a Kiss casket or he
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: didn't want to pay the licensing fee.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: I think Jean's told him.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: He Jeane told me he'd have to pay for it,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and he was like, nah, not even Kiss members get
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: a Kiss casket for free. Gene will charge you full price.

  Speaker 3: let's get a little taste of what she does here
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: inside the treehouse.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: Whatever happened to gleeking? You know, and you just like
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: like randomly open your mouth and it would sprace alava
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: like a broken sprinkler head. You don't hear much about
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: it anywhere. So many of these things from our youth,
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: they're just gone. I'm just making some coffee and.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: I gleaked, not to be confused with.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: Waking. That's when I sneeze or cough or laugh too hard.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: Those are accidental gleekings. Intentional gleekings are a whole another story.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: You know, the time where you're walking down the hall
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: and the boy gleeks at you on purpose, and you
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: wouldn't want to do that today, because.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: You wouldn't want to do that today.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Anyway, let me know if you've ever been gleeked upon,
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: And for those of you who still do it, congratulations
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: for keeping the tradition alive.
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: I already don't.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Trust my mouth time I open it something, but you
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: know his mouth I always trust.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: With the Say hi to your mom for his tag.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by jen X Gina, and let's bring
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: her on right now. Gina, welcome inside the treehouse. Thanks
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: for hanging out.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: With us, Thanks for having me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: This is a real treat for us.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Trey, I don't know if you found her stuff before
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I did, but both being gen xers the algorithm and
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you found us so well.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Trey, were you first?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Do you think I'm going to say you were probably
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: first on the gen X Gina.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I think I found her account I'm gonna guess probably
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: about a year ago, and.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Found her stuff quite entertaining.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And then I realized, uh, not so long ago, that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: she's local to the DFW area like us.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, North Texans unite. That's right there, you go,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: all right, So Trade just said it. He found you
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: about a year ago.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: How long have you been on the gen X GENA
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: content machine.
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: Well, I started about three and a half years ago
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: on TikTok and just started making videos with my dogs
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: because my best friend kept sending me videos from TikTok
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: and I would just you know, heart them or whatever.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: I wasn't opening them. I was like, I don't want
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: another app. Well I finally opened it and it was like, oh,
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: she is. I've always wanted to be a performer and
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: this was like the peri opportunity for me to be
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: one behind the camera where I'm safe and because I'm
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: an introvert, so uh.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: And I just started.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: Making little lipset videos and stuff like that, and then
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: they pushed me into the gen X niche.
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: I had one video that was a stitch video go
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: viral and that I.
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: Was determined to be nicheless right and just do fun
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: stuff what I wanted to do. That doesn't work on
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: social media. You have to have a niche. So they
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: shoved me into that one. To be honest with you,
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: I didn't know. I didn't know I.
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: Was gen X. I didn't know the generations. I had
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: no idea like it was.
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: I was like, what's gen x, you know, and then
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: I had one. I would post on Facebook periodically and
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: I had one go viral on Facebook and it just
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: from there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: So that's been my main platform since then.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, I post on Instagram, but you know, they
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: don't they don't pay you, so.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: Focus you know where they go.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a different world when you go in,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: you know, when you go from doing something for fun
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: and then switching over to, oh, I can get paid,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: especially if you hit a certain level like you did,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and you realize, okay, am I just doing this as
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a fun little hobby or once once the money bag
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: starts popping up, you're like, well, I believe I'm going
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: to follow that because you can still do the same stuff,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: but might as well follow the yellow brick road, right
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: mm hmm.
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah. And I have a lot of fun doing it
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: because I'm extremely sarcastic and extremely I don't know, I
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: don't know the word for it. But you can't always
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: bring that into your real life, you know. And it
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: was away from it was like the devil on one
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: side of the angel on the other.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: I got to be that sarcastic.
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: I get to be that sarcastic kind of borderline mean
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: part that everyone has in them but doesn't necessarily get
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: to express. And so it's been it's been, to be
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: honest with you, it's been pretty therapeutic for me, getting to,
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: you know, be kind of sassy and.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: Myself, but sassier than my normal self.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I guess, well, and you're basically letting Yeah, you're you're
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: basically letting your gen X flag fly. And for those
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: of us that are gen X, like you said, you
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: didn't really know what gen X or certain generational things were.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Is it that you were completely undaware or you just
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: didn't realize how hardcore gen X you were until someone
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: pointed it out.
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: That that's probably more truth roout there, Dan is that
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: I did a few videos where I was extremely sarcastic
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: and sassy, and sometimes you get there's a fine line.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: That you have to walk, especially on Facebook because there's.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: Lots of rules, but there's a fine line where you
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: don't want to turn people off to your sarcasm, but
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: you want to push it to that limit. And then
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: I realized everyone in gen X was like that. Everybody
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: was like, oh, I do the same thing, I'm the
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: same way, And I thought, Okay, this is a pretty
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: cool niche because I really don't have to watch what
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: I say too much, except for cursing and stuff like
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: that on some platforms. But I got to I got
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: a little taste of what our generation is, and we
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: are sarcastic, and that kind of is our love language,
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: and that's how we poke at each other, and that's
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: how we communicate a lot. And then I had a
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: couple of reels where I did the whole year mom thing,
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: and now people expect it at the end of every video,
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: and if it doesn't come organically, I won't do it
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: because I don't script anything.
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: I just turn on the camera and start talking. So
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of disappointment when that tagline is in there.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: So we understand that, and we relate to a lot
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: of the stuff you put out because it is gen
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: X and we are gen X, so obviously we relate
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: to a great deal of it, not the least of
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: which is a huge agreement that I also believe sarcasm
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: is gen X's secon at language, and it may actually
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: be first, and then English came second. Yeah, but you
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: have that relatability that comes in and I don't know
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: any other generation that has that thing as much as
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I feel like we do when it comes to the
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: level of sarcasm and the expectation that you just said.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: People enjoy something and they love repetition. They don't like change, yes,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and we've dealt with that on our side. So in
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: your videos, your people want to see that your mom
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: thing at the end. And for our listeners, they wig
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: out if we don't play our proper intro music. If
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: they don't hear William Orbit and they don't hear it
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: for a certain amount of time, they give us hell.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: They're like, you didn't play it long enough.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Start over. It's weird.
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: Yes, it is weird because, like I said, sometimes organically
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: I can't think of anything to do to your mom.
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: And sometimes at the end of video I'll be like,
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: well I can't think of anything, so and they even
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: appreciate that because I'm.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: Still acknowledging it in a way. So you learn, you.
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: Learn what your followers want, like you said, And if
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: I do something different, like I love cosplay stuff, I
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: like to address up as characters and perform as different
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: characters and kind of put that little thing on. But
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: that those videos don't get pushed and so what I'm
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: gonna start doing is doing that for subscribers. So subscribers
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: are going to have to see a lot of variation
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: in this coming year from me because I have to
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: do things that I really enjoy to be able to
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: do this at all.
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: Otherwise you just get burned out doing the same thing
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: over and over. As you probably understand.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: That, have you had any just side question, have you
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: had any problems with I know a lot of people
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: are complaining that TikTok's algorithm has changed and their videos
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: aren't getting put out like they were.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Have you had that problem.
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: Too, I'm not posting there anymore. Oh, okay, No, there's
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: too much going on there that's not good. And I
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: don't make I don't make any money to speak of
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: on TikTok.
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: They don't push my videos.
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: There's there's a couple of bis you'll probably know, a
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: couple of or three really large creators for gen x content,
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: and they got in like twenty twenty during lockdown and
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: were able to build their brand before I even came
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: on the picture and so my videos I had a
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: couple go viral in the last month or so, But
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: the pay is.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: So ridiculously just it's awful that I just.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: Decided, with all the stuff going on over there, that
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna post over there.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: But I do get my six videos from there, so
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: I have to stay on there because I have to
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: get those.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Oh sure, yeah, that's yeah, that's that's inspiration.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And that makes total sense to me, not just from
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a business standpoint, but also just from a personal standpoint,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: because I've I've started treating TikTok and really any social
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: media platform if it goes through any sort of major change. Yeah,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I look at it the same way. When it comes
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: time to buy a new cell phone, we're waiting in
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: line for day one of the new phone because the
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: first phone out of the shop is not going to
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: be the good one. You want to wait a few
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: months for all the bugs to work out. Kind of
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the same thing with TikTok or any other platform you
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: go through a massive change like they are right now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I'll wait a little bit, let me see how things
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: shake out, and maybe, and I'm not.
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: Saying I'll never.
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: Post on there again, but right now, with what I'm hearing,
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: it's just not it's not worth my time to even
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: post over there.
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: Anymore.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: So I'd also.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: Stealthly tell my followers to follow me on other platforms.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: You know, to understood the I will say this, Uh,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: if you ever feel lost and you want just a
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: sounding board to try to come up with how to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: how to squeeze in your mom thing, we got you covered.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: We can have I'm not saying you need it or
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: anything like that.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying if you you feel stuck and you
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: want to pop off a text to the Treehouse, we'll
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: come up with if you use them, if you want,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: don't whatever. But trust me, this room knows how to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: slam moms.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: Well you already.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Some of these are intentional.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: Drop that down.
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: I mean my mind, I'm a scorpio anyway, so my
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: mind always goes to the dirty side of things when
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: someone says that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: But as soon as you said squeeze off your mom,
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: I was like, I need to write that down. Where's
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: my pen?
• 24:34

• 25:42
  Speaker 2: one of our new favorites here inside the Treehouse. Been
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: enjoying her content over the last year, and we thought,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you know what, let's see if she wants to hang
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: out with us for a few minutes.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: And here she is.
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: I realized this is I realized this is probably an
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: interview to join the podcast.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: So I'm trying to be on my best behavior.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: So oh it doesn't matter there there is no way
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: to be on worse behavior than any of us.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: Oh good, okay, So I'm sure try Trey knows about
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: my emotional support lip bomb.
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: You'll probably both do, right that I always have my
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: lip bomb.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going to pretend that I don't, so so.
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: Please Okay, Well, this is my emotional support lit bomb.
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: There's different ones. I have bird speeds and that have
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: lip smackers. But when I'm really like nervous or that,
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: I have to upgrade to my other emotional support lip
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: bombs this one. So I'm gonna thing now I'm less,
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: I'm less nervous.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Now awesome, all right, So I'm going to put you
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: on the spot here, so hold on to your butt. Okay,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: So I have a feeling I already know the answer,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: or at least one portion of your answer, but I
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: want to know what the rest of it is going
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: to be. So gen X, Gina, I'm going to assume
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: that you feel gen X is the best generation. But
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: if I was to ask you to rank all the generations,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, not of all time, but you know, just
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: rank the generations as we know them. Is gen X
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the top one? Is that the best one? And then
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: what comes after gen X?
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: Like, well, I mean right now, I do believe we
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: are the best one.
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: We still have work ethic, we have still there's just
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: things we have that I don't think a lot of
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: generations are grasping right now. So I'm going to say
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: gen X, Gen Alpha because I hear they're a little
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: a little they're a little unhinged.
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: I don't know that for sure, but that's what I
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: keep hearing is that Gen Alpha is kind of like
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: gen X.
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: So I'll say gen X, Gen Alpha millennials and Gen
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: Z and then boomers.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: In the basement.
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And I hate to say that because I have
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: three sisters and are boomers and a brother that's a boomer.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: And just because you know, just because there's a stereotype
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: doesn't mean everyone fits it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: So sure, but that's my That's how I would rank
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: them probably, but we're the best, obviously, Trey.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: It's such a it's it's a that that bottom slot.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: It's a fight between gen Z and the boomers, because
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I know at least Boomers aren't gonna actually get shell
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: shocked if you say something uh adverse to them, where
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: gen Z is like likely to just absolutely fall apart
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and GENUS. So you know, my background is in the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: bar business for years, so especially over the last ten
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: years have really dealt with gen Z and and there
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: they are a sensitive bunch to say the least.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: To say the least, yes, no, uh.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: The only I think I actually, Trey, would you agree
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: with Gina's ranking or is it it's like maybe you
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: would switch Boomers in gen Z, like you put gen
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Z in the bottom.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: Like I said, that's a that's a that's a like
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: four A and four B type.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: Deal plus close call, close call.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're holding hands down there.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I mean millennials got off easy because we forget how
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty years ago we loved just slapping them
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: around and then they they got in it with the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: boomers and we were just sitting back watching and then
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: gen Z came along and we're like, we forgot all
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: about millennials because millennials are the bunch that I still
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: don't really understand because they claim they are so troubled
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and we're so like tormented by the same events we
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: lived through exactly.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: To me, millennials are the transition generation between gen X
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and gen Z.
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: So there's a little of both, there's.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, whereas with gen X, I feel like there's
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: not a whole lot of blending.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I've heard the term zenial.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like and I'm like, I don't really
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: buy into Like, to me, if you're gen X, you're
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: kind of hardcore gen X. Like if I was to
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: rank the generations, I would probably if we were to
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: include the greatest generation like our like my grandfather's uh
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: trays as well and GENA. I'm not sure about yours,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: but you know, like fighting in World War two and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: all that. To me, they get the top slot. Gen
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: X is right there on their heels. The boomer thing
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: is is fascinating.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: There's there's.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I'm basically I agree with your ranking. I think the
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: only difference is I might put Gen Alpha right behind millennials.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure yet. I need I guess I.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Need to do more investigating on it, but I do
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: agree with you that I think gen Z is quietly
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: the young gen X or sorry, jen Alpha is sort
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: of quietly the the up and coming gen X style
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: generation because some reason, like even even some of their
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: new terms, I'm kind of on board with. Like the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: other day we were on the show talking about choppol gangers.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's hysterical.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: It's your twin, but the shitty version of it, right,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: And so they make up a new word. And usually
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: we're making fun of these new words, but the Gen
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Alpha new words are kind of funny. It's the gen
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Z ones that annoy the ship out of us.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: But yeah, here's the problem.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: I think.
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: I don't think we have any room to talk about words.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: When you look back to eighties slang, you.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Know, yeah, there's we we we had a lot of
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: bad you know, Valley Girl and other things.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: But here's the problem.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: With a lot of thinking out loudest Gen X created
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: gen Z.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I and I have a theory on it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: My theory is this is that so say you parent
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: like you were parented. We were parented. We were the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: last key kids where you know, it's like basically it
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: was fuck around and find out. You know, oh yep,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you know you're going to figure out that that outlet
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: will hurt you, and you know the hot band, don't
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: touch it and everything else. And I think that same
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I think that same attitude was was taken towards gen Z,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the X factor being internet and social media, and because
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: it was that hands off you'll figure it out. Well,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the problem is they figured out, but you could if
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you want to be a cat, we would have to
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: have tried to look in like the World Book Encyclopedia
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: or go to the Dewey decimal system and figure out
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: a book on how.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: To be a cat.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: They just were like, oh, hey, I want to be
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a cat, and they found other people online and so
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: they want to be a cat too.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: You now have cat people in the worst way.
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: Well, I hear a lot of a lot, like a
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: lot of my Stitch videos are done with gen Z
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: because they're the ones talking and crap about us. And
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: I get a lot of people in the comment section saying, well,
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: we raised them, so how can you complaining?
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: Okay, this is what I don't get. Yes, we raise them.
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: What we can do as parents, society finishes raising your children.
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: You don't finish raising your children. Society does. And that's
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: what I can't seem to get through people's heads is Yes,
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: I'm sure I've made a lot of parenting mistakes. I'm
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: paying for some of them now. But like you said,
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: we parented similar to the way we parented, or we
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: were parented because we didn't know better, We didn't learn.
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: My mother never communicated anything with me, I never learned
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: about starting my period. For goodness sakes, we just didn't talk,
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: you know, So I don't know. It's just there's so
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: many unhealthy trends too.
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: Among gen Z.
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to get into those just for personal reasons,
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: but going along with the mainstream whatever's cool, then that's
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: not necessarily healthy, that.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: Kind of thing.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what's interesting is looking at some of
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: what younger gen Z and Jen Alpha is doing is
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: so much of what we did, almost literally, like they're
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: wearing the clothing we did. Like the other day, my
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: wife and I are out and there's kids wearing you know,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Jinko style geens.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: She's like, are they really wearing them?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, yeah, they're not doing it ironically, they're doing
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: it because that is act in style now.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: But they're still doing it with their own twist, like
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: with the mushroom perms on the guys, which make no
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: sense to me, like the closest. I don't think we
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: had sort of an it hair style back in the day.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, you had like the nine to two one
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: oho sideburns that I had. I mean you had I
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: had a butt cut at one point. That's the closest thing.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I guess I could, but not everyone had that. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: feel like there was a little more individualistic style with
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: gen X, whereas you know, a lot of gen Z.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Like you said, Gena's very much just we're trying to
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: look like everybody else, so that way we don't stay
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: with there.
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: And just do everything that everyone else is doing or
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: fall into trends that on their own, not having been
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: influenced by others, probably wouldn't.
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: Have chosen to participated.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: So I'm fascinated.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, So I'm always fascinating, and I know Trey is,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: We're fascinated about the generational warfare that is ongoing now,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: and I'm certain that a large reason for that is
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: social media. Absolutely, And so gen X for the most part,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I feel is we're reactionary, which is we'll hang out.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: We're just we're chilling, right, don't come at us, little bro. Yeah,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what. Do not poke the gen X bear
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: because it's kind of like a weakening the sleeping giant
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: kind of thing. And that's where I feel like some
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: people have done, and that's where you have jumped in.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: You're like, okay, it's time for you know, gen X
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: GENA to put you in your tiny baby spot mm hmm.
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: And and you know, some people give me a lot
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: of crap about it, about being mean or whatever. There
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: you you have to understand that you understand this. There's
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: it's performance art, right and a lot of it is
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: a lot of it is satirical.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: And I don't mean everything I say. If you I mean,
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: that's just ridiculous.
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: To think that I honestly believe everything that I say
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: in all my videos. Regarding other generations, that's an unrealistic expectation.
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: I have two millennials and a gen Z and I
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: feel like people think I'm bad mouthing my children and
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: I'm not.
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: It's a whole generations.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: You're bad mouth everyone else's kids.
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: Yes it's not mine, but if they don't kids that yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: kids that behave a certain way. Your young adults that
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: behave a certain way. You know, you get tossed in
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: to the to that barrel, just like we get tossed
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: into the boomer barrel a lot.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that ain't cool. I don't appreciate that. I will
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: reject that wholeheartedly with every ounce of my being. Do
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: not put gen X anywhere near the boomer Barrel and
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: A pretty large boomer fan base, so I have to
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: be careful.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: You said something interesting about how we really didn't talk
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to our parents, because I am it's I go through
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: this now not trying to bring it down dealing with
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: my mother in hospice, and I sit with her, but
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: we have nothing to talk about, like I struggle it
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and I have had these moments of introspection going, am
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I the problem?
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Am I odd?
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: That I really I realized how and I don't have
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: a really good relationship with my mother to begin with,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: but how superficial it was, and that we really had
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: never had any a lot of in depth conversations or
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: anything else. There were times I tried and and it's
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: never got anywhere. And so now it's this very awkward silence.
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: We were parented, but we weren't. We didn't have necessarily
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: have relationships with our kids.
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: I mean, with our parents.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Does that make sense? No, it's It's absolutely.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: True and one of the things.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: And I think this will probably be our last little
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: bit on this to kind of it all up, and
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I feel like it does so very very well.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And Jena, I'm curious to see if you agree.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Trey and I have both said four years that part
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: of what makes gen X so great is the technological
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: advances that we have lived through and learned. I mean,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: we're the analog to digital generation. We learned things the
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: hard way, which makes us appreciate all the conveniences that
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: we now have. And there is one very specific special
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: way that sets us apart from every generation, including the
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: ones that went to World War Two.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Trey take it away.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: We had to teach our parents the Internet and the VCR,
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: the VCR, all.
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: Of it, the microwave.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, we were.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: We were the instructors of the technology for our parents
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: and or grandparents, depending on the age. Because I'm I'm
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I was born in the seventy nine, so I'm right
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: at the ass end of gen X. But I'm in
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: it because I'm the one that had to show my
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: grandmother and my mom how to record one channel while
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: you're watching another and the Internet. Like Trey is saying,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I mean all this stuff mean, it's like we had
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to learn it and then we had to teach it,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: which is something that no other generations had to go through.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: You know, show me a boomer with an AOL address,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I'll show you a gen xer that gave up.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: You're gonna get this one AOL address and that's all
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: you get for the rest of the time.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Because anyone who knows this, this is God's honest truth.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Once you got your parents on an AOL address, you
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: can never get them off. They are stuck to it,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: even though AOL has turned went from a mighty giant
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: to some it's like in some closet in the UK,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: they can never leave that.
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: And what is it MSM address? M s M. Wasn't that? Yeah?
• 40:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, my ex husband still has his email dress from
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: from that email I just cracked and Yahoo and you
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: know all those.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: But like you said, once they're in it, you're not
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: getting them out of it. Now.
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: See, I'm on the other I'm on the other end
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: of the spectrum there, Dan, I'm an older gen xer.
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: In two more two more years, I would have been
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: a boomer.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: But so when when these gen z's come at us
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: for not knowing anything about technology, I'm just on that stitch.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: But yeah, as you should.
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: We lived.
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: We lived through everything, even stuff like you know eight
• 40:40
  Speaker 9: tracks two to vinyl two, cassettes to CDs.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Two, I mean and if and if you're like me
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: and Trey, you had a portion of your childhood where
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: you lived in the country and you knew an experience
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: not only a party line, but a four digit phone number.
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: Oh see I did. I didn't experience that.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well that's that's like the that's the rural side
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: of gen X.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's like Trey and I are hybrids because
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: we had a little bit of rural and a little
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: bit of city living, so we have that additional layer there.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean when you start out, when you
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: pick up the phone and you hear your neighbor two
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: miles away on with you know, God knows who you're like. Okay,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I'll wait five more minutes.
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: A lot of my followers, a lot of followers mentioned
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: party lines in my videos, and.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boomers, city boomers will definitely know and then earl
• 41:34
