  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm reading this story and I'm having a problem
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: understanding it. I feel like I understand half of it.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: And I thought I could bounce it off you guys.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: It says folks online are talking about societal shifts in
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: their lifetimes that no one talks about anymore. They're older folks.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: So these are things that no one talks about anymore.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm reading them and I'm like, I don't understand.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Like the prevalence of unmarried couples living together. This person says,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, This was considered scandalous. Now
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it's just assumed that a couple move in together at
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: some point, whether or not they intend to get married.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I would argue that that is probably a healthy thing
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to do. I had a friend that didn't live with
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: her husband until they got married and it did not
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: end up well because they didn't know each other's habits.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: They didn't.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: They actually ended up hating each other.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: That is a good point to this subject. But what
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is this article talking about?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm trying to figure it out too. Beyond that,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I need another example. Okay, tattoos.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: This person said, if my 70s self were transported to today,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I'd be amazed at so many motorcyclists and former sailors
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: were walking around these streets.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I think this article is like, What are these young
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: whippersnappers doing these days?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Are they saying that back.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: In the day? Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I'll give you one that's a little more modern, I think.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Things that older people will hate on younger people.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Societal things that have changed now back in the day.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Like for me, if the doorbell rings or somebody knocks
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: at the door, I think it's common for most of
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: us to not answer it at all. But your parents
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: and our grandparents would never do that. They would always
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: go to the front door and be surprised by who's there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: But we don't because we don't want to get, you know, stabbed.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So it's the way the article is labeled. What's the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: societal shift over your lifetime that no one talks about?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Another one is going to the gym. They say almost
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: everyone I know works out now. I go to a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: community gym and it's mostly seniors, at least during the day.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't understand.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: It's just things that I guess were, like, super popular
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: and relevant back then. Then that might not be now.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Or opposite. Like here, this part.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Kids' sports are now an industry. In the 70s, no
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: one took lessons or went to summer camps.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Now kids are basically groomed from a young age to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: excel at a sport.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. It's pretty wild. You just sign up
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and play something and you practice on your own time.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Less interaction. You can walk past someone and they don't
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: notice because they're locked on their devices and are always
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in a rush. Yeah, that's true. That's one thing when
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I go hiking. People always say hi when you pass
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: each other out.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And if they don't say hi, this friend of mine,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I go hiking with.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You, yell at him. Hello. Good morning.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: We don't talk on the phone. We text, DM, Zoom, FaceTime, email, Snapchat,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: but we don't just call to talk, which used to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: be something a lot of people did routinely.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Well, sure. And they had home phones. Nobody has a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: home phone.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I tell you, my wife, she can talk on the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: phone all freaking day. There's very little smoking in public places.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: See, I get that. But then again, like sometimes like
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you've had a few with your friends, you want to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: just like spark up a ciggy.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And it's really annoying when they.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Tell you no. Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: It's like terrible if you walk outside to go get
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: some air out of a bar and everybody's like huddled
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: around smoking in the parking lot.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Teach their own. That's my kind of party.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Public profanity is much more common.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Knowing your neighbors, we used to know them well and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: take care of their kids when they came over to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: play with your kids. If you needed to borrow a tool,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: have at it. Needed a hand doing something, happy to help.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I say hello to my neighbors now and they look
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: at me like I just asked them to hand over
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: their wallet.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I get that. I don't talk to my neighbors.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like my MMA is almost too hands-on
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: with our neighbors because right now we're taking care of
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: every house on each side of us. And I'm like,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: why are you signing up for this? Well, I love
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: my neighbors.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, snowbirds? My kids would never go over to my
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: neighbor's house.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, it's so annoying. Yeah, and they got us
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: all on the cameras watering the plants.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Men are much more involved in their kids' lives and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: more comfortable talking about their feelings and trauma.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's true. That didn't happen. You
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: shouldn't change diapers. That didn't happen back in the day.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: It's just evolution.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Right, men weren't allowed to have emotions or feelings then.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It was uncool.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Sign of weakness.
