  Speaker 5: passed the test and got a driver.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, yesterday, just not interested in doing it.

  Speaker 1: I were nervous about it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: And I mean when I was I was driving when

• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to drive too.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And but but your child not alone, though, Bill, And
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: part of the reason is and actually you'll see a
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: theme going through here. Part of the reason is so
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: much of their lives are lived online. Oh yeah, they're
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: socializing is online there. Everything happens there. You don't have
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: to leave the house to.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Do any of these.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But I've also got a nephew who is I want
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: to say, seventeen, sixteen seventeen, who's obsessed with cars and
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: wants nothing more than to learn how to drift.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Oh that's scary.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're all terrified for him.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: We're just convinced that the next one similarly talking on
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the phone. My my daughter is having surgery in a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks, sinus surgery, and she's been having to
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: make appointments doctor's appointments associated when you make a doctor appointment,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: that you have to call and talk to somebody. Hi,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: this is my name, this is my information. But it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: a skill that that they don't they're not super comfortable.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: With my My wife is that way though, and she's
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: decidedly not gen z. But she hates making appointments on
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: the phone, hates any anything like that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, I prefer to not speak on the phone.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: But it's but it's a skill, its need. It is
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I need to be able to do that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of it, but I prefer to not.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: But I she had to make some appointment or something,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and she said, well.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You call him like you can do it. And I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: sat there with her and it was fine.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: But it's I when I was in high school, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: spent hours on the phone with friends.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And just talking about nothing. You know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Well, and so here's another one. Socializing in large groups
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: of people.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: They are parties.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're called the anxious generation. They're crowds. Uh make
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: them nervous. A lot of them have social anxiety. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: think a lot of this might even go back to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: COVID a little bit, because when you're growing up a teenager,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: When we were teenagers, that's what you did. You went
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and hung out with friends in person, to.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: A stomp or whatever.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: There was a period of a few very pivotal years
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: there for kids where they weren't getting together in big gro.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Part of the problem, too, is that smoking is out
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: of fact. You know, you don't have to do that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: You know you're smoking, you want to get together with
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: other smokers.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I always say, if you want to know what's going
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: on in your place of business, go hang out with
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: the smokers.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: But no, I mean I was. I still kind of
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: go I've always had that kind of thing. I still
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: go through that A lot of times. There were like, Hey,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: there's a party at this club and I'm like.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You know, we have one smoker here. Do you know
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: who it is? Don't?
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Don't say, but I don't. At work, yeah, yeah, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: can only think of one. I don't know one person.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you off the air, okay, one person that
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: we work with that smoke.

  Speaker 3: having a well, they're afraid of job.
• 4:28
