Speaker A:
It's Haystack.
Speaker A:
And I saw this thing online calling Generation Z, Gen Z, the Christopher Columbus generation.
Speaker A:
And it's apparently because they're discovering things that are not new at all, just new to them.
Speaker A:
Like they've been excited.
Speaker A:
Guys, we found this brand new concept.
Speaker A:
It's called walking without your phone.
Speaker A:
That's not, that's not a trend.
Speaker A:
That's just what happens when your battery dies.
Speaker A:
They're calling it silent walking.
Speaker A:
Silent what?
Speaker A:
Walking has always pretty much been s. If, if you're walking makes a lot of noise, that's not a trend.
Speaker A:
That's a medical condition.
Speaker A:
You need to go see somebody.
Speaker A:
People are posting about it like it's spiritual.
Speaker A:
I went on a silent walk today.
Speaker A:
No music, no phone.
Speaker A:
Just me and my thoughts.
Speaker A:
Yeah, it's called raw doging reality.
Speaker A:
We used to do that all the time.
Speaker A:
That's why people invented cell phones.
Speaker A:
And then there's quiet quitting they've been bragging about, which of course sounds dramatic.
Speaker A:
Sounds like you're sneaking out of a job in the middle of a shift.
Speaker A:
No, you're.
Speaker A:
You're still there.
Speaker A:
You just stopped caring.
Speaker A:
That's not quitting.
Speaker A:
That's just called a job.
Speaker A:
Every job has at least one person who mastered quiet quitting 20 years ago.
Speaker A:
And apparently Coke floats are trending.
Speaker A:
That's the one that really got me.
Speaker A:
People are acting like they invented a new beverage.
Speaker A:
Guys, you take soda and then you add ice cream.
Speaker A:
Somewhere there's a hundred year old grandma going, what are you going to tell me about breathing next?
Speaker A:
But to be fair, and we'd love to tease younger generations to be fair, every generation does this.
Speaker A:
Millennials had life hacks.
Speaker A:
You remember that?
Speaker A:
We'd be like, life hack.
Speaker A:
Use a bowl to eat cereal faster.
Speaker A:
That's not a hack.
Speaker A:
That's just breakfast adulting.
Speaker A:
I'm adulting.
Speaker A:
Oh, I paid my bills today.
Speaker A:
I'm adulting.
Speaker A:
No, you're, you're not adulting.
Speaker A:
You just, you're just not sitting in a dark house.
Speaker A:
Relax.
Speaker A:
You.
Speaker A:
You didn't figure it.
Speaker A:
Gen X had slacker culture.
Speaker A:
Gen Z has quiet quitting.
Speaker A:
It's the same thing.
Speaker A:
It's just different branding.
Speaker A:
That's really the difference.
Speaker A:
Now, TikTok, before you, if you rediscovered something obvious, your friend would just be like, hey, you're an idiot.
Speaker A:
Yeah, of course now you brag about it on TikTok, you get 2 million views and a brand deal.
Speaker A:
That's the dream, I guess, though.
Speaker A:
I mean, I've been drinking water my whole life.
Speaker A:
I guess I should have been making videos about it on TikTok.
