Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So people are online predicting the American traditions that will
- 0:04Speaker 1: fade away in the coming decades. Yeah, be kind of
- 0:07Speaker 1: sad here. One of six point seven LIGHTFM Coubby and
- 0:10Speaker 1: Christine in the morning producer Christen down the Hall, and
- 0:13Speaker 1: she is producing.
- 0:14Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you, man, I hope this is
- 0:16Speaker 2: not true with some of these.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Some I'm okay with.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:19Speaker 1: People online are saying that they believe some of these
- 0:22Speaker 1: will fade away in the coming decades.
- 0:23Speaker 2: So not really coming like.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Not in the next five years, coming to you soon,
- 0:27Speaker 1: maybe twenty fifty. I'm hoping that's going to be a
- 0:30Speaker 1: long way away. And which ones, by the way, would
- 0:33Speaker 1: you be happy to see go? For example, people are
- 0:35Speaker 1: saying class reunions. Someone said that social media has kind
- 0:40Speaker 1: of rendered them irrelevant.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't really need to it's go back and revisit.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Yeah, Facebook, I know what you're doing, right. But there
- 0:46Speaker 1: was a time I don't know about you, Christine, when
- 0:48Speaker 1: I was like twelve years old, and I remember my
- 0:50Speaker 1: mom and dad talking about going to their reunion and
- 0:52Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Man, when I get older, I
- 0:54Speaker 1: am I'm never going to miss one. Oh really, I
- 0:57Speaker 1: was so excited about reunions. But now I'm like, I
- 1:00Speaker 1: went to our Let's see, I graduated high school in
- 1:02Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. I went to our ten and our twenty. Well,
- 1:06Speaker 1: you're good, but there wasn't a thirty. How about you.
- 1:08Speaker 3: No, I won't go I just don't look back. It's
- 1:12Speaker 3: just not mean.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Don't look back.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Don't look back.
- 1:14Speaker 2: What about number two? What do you think of that one?
- 1:16Speaker 3: Trick or treating?
- 1:16Speaker 2: People are saying trick or treating will eventually go away.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Why I can kind of see how it would because
- 1:23Speaker 3: people are doing those parts, like getting together into parking.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Lot and doing it all at once.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Yeah, they know the better neighborhoods, and they're just like
- 1:30Speaker 3: letting each other know on social media, like where they
- 1:32Speaker 3: can get all the good stuff. So it's not happening
- 1:35Speaker 3: as organically as it used to.
- 1:37Speaker 1: You know, people are saying that a massive gender reveal
- 1:41Speaker 1: event will go away soon. Someone said that they've taken
- 1:45Speaker 1: a hit reputation wise, and they'll fade back to being
- 1:49Speaker 1: low key family things like slicing into a cake and
- 1:52Speaker 1: seeing the color inside. Maybe that's bad it, Yeah, not
- 1:55Speaker 1: being on your lawn with you know, poping circumstances, things
- 2:00Speaker 1: blowing up and all.
- 2:01Speaker 3: That kind of okay with that Black Friday, they say
- 2:03Speaker 3: it's already dying out because there's so many sales that
- 2:06Speaker 3: are offered, and we have Cyber Monday. We have a
- 2:09Speaker 3: lot of things, so Black Friday isn't quite what it
- 2:11Speaker 3: used to be.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yeah, don't you feel like I think that's right.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I feel like when Black Friday came around last year,
- 2:18Speaker 1: I mean, it was on my mind, but it wasn't
- 2:20Speaker 1: like I gotta go and do that.
- 2:22Speaker 3: We weren't lining up outside the door at four exam.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Yeah, right right.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Someone online said the Miss America pageant. This is another
- 2:30Speaker 1: pretty easy prediction, they say, ye, since pageants are a
- 2:33Speaker 1: lot less of a thing now. I mean eighties and nineties,
- 2:37Speaker 1: I feel like they were always on TV and there
- 2:39Speaker 1: was almost like a must watch.
- 2:41Speaker 2: But sometimes I don't even know when the missionary.
- 2:43Speaker 3: We don't even know right untill we see it in
- 2:45Speaker 3: the news. Somebody won private fireworks. Probably a good idea
- 2:50Speaker 3: because we don't want to be getting hurt.
- 2:51Speaker 2: So a lot of people are predicting that that will
- 2:53Speaker 2: go away, go away. Oh here we go.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Look at number seven Daylight Saving time.
- 2:58Speaker 2: We talk about it twice a year. Is this going
- 3:00Speaker 2: to be the year that we set our clocks and
- 3:02Speaker 2: never change them again? Yeah, we say it all the time,
- 3:05Speaker 2: but maybe it will eventually go away, but I don't
- 3:08Speaker 2: see it happening.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Large scale weddings, definitely a lot of Americans either too
- 3:14Speaker 3: strapped for cash or don't want to send themselves into debt.
- 3:17Speaker 3: So again, like you know, just from my point of view.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Yeah, with that, if you just tuned in.
- 3:22Speaker 1: By the way, these are people that they're predicting what
- 3:25Speaker 1: traditions will fade away in the next coming decades. Somebody
- 3:28Speaker 1: wrote thank you cards. Yeah, a person said they're a
- 3:31Speaker 1: pain and can simply be handled with a text or
- 3:34Speaker 1: just saying thanks next time you see that person.
- 3:36Speaker 3: I don't do them anymore. I used to do them.
- 3:38Speaker 3: They are painstaking. Yeah, I think when it's a big
- 3:42Speaker 3: I still think going back to weddings, right, if you
- 3:44Speaker 3: go to a big, fancy wedding, I think the couple
- 3:47Speaker 3: should still do the thank you notes for sure.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Now what about Christmas cards? Someone's saying in the next
- 3:52Speaker 2: few decades they'll be gone too.
- 3:54Speaker 3: I know it's kind of sad, but this was the
- 3:57Speaker 3: very first year I didn't do Christmas.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Cards, and I felt great.
- 4:00Speaker 3: I always do. I felt some guilt, but then I
- 4:03Speaker 3: felt like my friends will understand. It was kind of
- 4:06Speaker 3: a crazy year. I hope they'll understand. Right right, I
- 4:08Speaker 3: still love you.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Well, you have three hundred and thirty days to get
- 4:12Speaker 1: that next card.
- 4:13Speaker 3: I get prepared now,
