0:49
It's 10 to 15. The
0:52
lifestyle you want, the remedies you need.
0:55
It's a real question. What is
0:57
the most annoying generation? I
1:01
said annoying generation. This makes
1:03
me smile. I
1:06
said Jodie Foster. The
1:09
country is run by the boomers. They
1:11
vote. So at some level,
1:13
I'm going to go in here. It's going to piss
1:16
you off. At some level, boomers
1:18
are annoying to me. You
1:20
vote. Now
1:22
you could say, well, yeah, Jeff, we're in
1:24
charge because we vote. You're right.
1:27
Our presidential election looks the way it
1:29
does because of boomers. It
1:32
does. But you're right. You vote.
1:34
No one else shows up to vote. So you get what you want.
1:38
That's our presidential race. So I'm
1:41
annoyed by boomers. I'm
1:44
Gen X. We suck. We got nothing. But
1:48
Jodie, most people are going to say
1:50
Gen Z is the most annoying generation.
1:54
Jodie Foster has poured gas on
1:56
the issue and it's pretty funny.
1:59
I said Jodie. Foster. Yahoo
2:01
News reporting that Jodie Foster calls
2:03
Gen Z annoying in the workplace.
2:05
Her comments reflect broader criticism of
2:08
Gen Z, who become known
2:10
as entitled and lazy workers. Anyone
2:13
disputing this? What's
2:16
odd is they are set to be the
2:18
wealthiest generation. I believe it's Gen Z set
2:20
to be the wealthiest generation. I'm
2:23
not quite sure if you understood yet why. Inheriting
2:26
a lot, I guess. Jodie
2:29
Foster called Gen Z annoying in the
2:31
workplace, causing a stir on social media.
2:33
The 61-year-old actor shared her thoughts on
2:35
Generation Z in an interview with a
2:37
Guardian. She said,
2:40
they're really annoying, especially in the workplace.
2:43
They're like, nah, I'm not feeling it today. I'm going to
2:45
come in at 1030. Or
2:48
like in emails, she says, I'll
2:50
tell them this is all grammatically incorrect. Did
2:52
you not check your spelling? And
2:55
they're like, why would I do that? Isn't
2:57
that kind of limiting? It's funny.
3:02
I don't know that.
3:04
See, I try not to work with anyone, so
3:06
these things never come up. I'm
3:09
not even sure what Generation Brandon is. Are you exactly going
3:11
to tell me? Oh,
3:13
he's a millennial? Oh, crap. You
3:16
know, millennials used to have the worst
3:19
rap, a bad rap, until Gen Z
3:21
assumed the role. I'm the only person
3:23
crazy enough and mean-spirited enough to blame
3:26
everything on boomers. We
3:28
call them iPad babies because they were
3:30
raised on iPads. It's true. Pretty
3:33
much. I mean, I'm very sensitive to this
3:35
because I'm the parenting generation that caused this.
3:38
We are the ultimate helicopter parents. Yeah.
3:41
I mean, it's true. I mean, they're kind of
3:43
the – no one likes to turn and point
3:45
the finger back to us, but
3:47
the Gen Zs are the babies that
3:49
they are? Because of us. They
3:53
are. Like, our parents, like,
3:55
I don't even know if I've ever had a car seat.
3:58
I can't argue with this. No one cares. But
4:00
we've produced, we, Millennials
4:04
and Gen X have produced a generation of
4:06
babies. We call them iPad babies, is
4:08
that what you said? We call Gen
4:10
Z iPad babies. I think most
4:12
of Millennials grew up pre-internet
4:15
or just barely. So
4:18
I don't think they're as bad, but... Am
4:20
I the only person willing to say boomers
4:23
kind of suck? I think out loud.
4:25
Yeah, okay good. I would say that. I'll
4:27
do it. I'm going to say potential race.
4:29
Ugh. Okay? Who's
4:31
to blame for that? I'm
4:34
willing to pile on every other generation including my
4:36
own. I'm fine with that. People who didn't vote.
4:38
Okay. Yeah. That's one thing.
4:41
Yeah, it's one. It's one part of the calculator. It's
4:43
one part of the equation. Hey, I'm doing as much
4:45
as I can these days to lower my golf scores
4:47
and I'm working at it. A
4:50
lot of you can relate. And that includes not just good equipment,
4:52
but the best equipment for me. Whatever
4:54
your handicap, you want to improve your game,
4:56
pay close attention because you're about to hear
4:58
me use the term game changer a lot
5:00
and for very good reason. When
5:02
PXG says nobody makes golf clubs like they do,
5:05
they're not lying. You may have
5:07
heard about the PXG Black Ops, the
5:10
driver that promises you don't have to
5:12
sacrifice distance for forgiveness. So
5:14
I had to try it. And yep, it's ridiculous.
5:17
Everything you hear is true. These drivers are amazing.
5:20
Here's the way PXG works so you know you're
5:22
getting the right fit for you. You schedule a
5:24
fitting and that's easy. I just did it myself.
5:26
There's a convenient location near you all over the
5:29
country. They're easy to find and you set up
5:31
a fitting. You meet with
5:33
a PXG expert that's going to help you find
5:35
the right driver for you. The
5:37
process is simple. They'll help you find
5:39
the right length, weight and everything you
5:41
need to make sure the driver is
5:43
perfect. The PXG Black Ops
5:45
driver is breakthrough in technology. Everything
5:48
you hear is true. It's unlike anything you've
5:50
ever tried. The science behind the
5:52
Black Ops driver, it's something
5:55
called MOI and the new
5:57
Advanced Material Face Technology. Ops
6:00
driver more forgiving. The bottom
6:02
line is you get three things you want.
6:05
More forgiveness, more distance,
6:07
no sacrifices. I played
6:09
a long time and trust me when I tell you
6:11
the PXG driver is a true game changer. You'll be
6:13
blown away. Learn more

not on that's not necessarily Gen Z's fault.
10:02
Let's be fair agree. Okay Gen
10:05
Z deserves a lot Jody Foster's right No
10:07
one would dispute She's
10:09
probably right. They're like nah, I'm not feeling it today
10:11
and they show up at 1030. It's so true It
10:14
is I say in a way. I'd also say that
10:17
the generations now are Realizing
10:19
their self-worth is is more
10:21
than what's being offered in the workplace and
10:24
it's not necessarily always just they don't want
10:26
to work It's just when you're
10:28
offered something well below. Yeah what you deserve
10:30
You know there are other ways to make
10:32
money now Yeah And it's just piling on
10:34
by my generation of Gen X who worked
10:37
our whole lives and worked really hard and
10:39
there's nothing wrong with That you know I
10:41
really know any other way we're miserable my
10:43
generation was kind of half part of that.
10:45
Yeah. Yeah, we're miserable I
10:48
mean sure we're miserable That's
10:52
funny is she went there I kind
10:54
of like it's a really easy cop-out Yeah, I
10:56
guess it's kind of no one piles on the
10:58
boomers though Well unless
11:00
you know one unless you mention no
11:02
one debt. Yeah, oh You
11:05
want me to do it? I'll do okay. He set
11:08
me up certainly in a building like this in the
11:10
radio business But all right. He set me up I'll
11:13
put myself in that generation we
11:16
hmm We
11:19
have saddled them in the most immoral
11:21
way with debt At
11:23
some level it's kind of like voting.
11:26
I don't really I don't get that angry at
11:28
some person This is why would I vote I'm
11:30
thinking yeah? Why would you the system is stacked
11:33
the system the only thing that's ever talked about
11:35
our old people issues? The only
11:37
thing that ever talked about our culture war issues.
11:39
No one gives a flip about it No, but
11:41
nobody in politics gives a flip about younger generations.
11:43
They don't give a flip one You don't vote
11:46
but to the system is set up for blue
11:48
hairs. It's only markets to
11:50
blue hairs It's only about blue hairs and
11:52
blue hairs the only ones that show up
11:54
to vote and so it's a self-fulfilling prophecy
11:56
I call it in the business world. That's
11:58
breathing on exhaust use political version
12:00
of breathing your own exhaust fumes.
12:03
The whole freaking presidential race is
12:05
a microcosm of blue hair control.
12:09
Own it. Now the thing
12:12
is right now, blue hair is saying, yeah, well shut
12:14
up, jackass. It's exactly what I wanted. Now you got
12:16
what you wanted. You're right. You
12:18
got exactly what you want. Old
12:20
America. You used to be able to buy a house in
12:23
a Sears catalog. They sold
12:25
houses in catalogs. I
12:28
don't think people even know what a catalog is anymore. You
12:31
know what a magazine is? So there you
12:33
go. I mean, am I picking sides here? I
12:35
don't know. I mean a little bit. I don't
12:37
like for boomers and Gen X to get a
12:39
pass. And I feel like we
12:41
act like we get a pass. We bark at
12:44
everyone else and we own nothing ourselves. By the
12:46
way, our kids are fat because we're fat too.
12:49
While we're at it, let's all take some skin in the game.
12:53
Our presidential race sucks because of us.
12:57
And our kids are fat because we're fat. And
13:01
yeah, I'll be happy to pile on Gen Z. I
13:04
just don't think the rest of us that are older
13:06
deserve much of a pass though. It
13:08
never comes back to us. Certainly
13:11
not in the radio business. But it never circles back
13:13
to us. No one ever has the guts to say,
13:15
you know what? You know what boomers and Gen X?
13:18
You're the ones that dump dead on everyone. We
13:22
care less about what we've done to a younger
13:24
generation. We absolutely care less and need to do
13:26
politicians care. Am
13:28
I pissing everyone off now? Have I successfully
13:31
made everyone angry above the age of 40?
13:35
Every now and then can we just take some
13:37
heat ourselves? Every now and then.
13:40
Every time we talk about and make a joke, you know,
13:42
it's not funny. The presidential race
13:44
is not funny. It's pathetic and
13:47
disgraceful. Can we own a little bit of
13:49
that? Next
13:51
time we pile on Gen Z, Jodie Foster
13:53
and all the rest of us, and it's cool to
13:55
do and I'm fine with it. Can we just take one
13:57
moment and say, you know what? Maybe we deserve some
13:59
heat. The Canada Game. Too.
