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

6:38

will be in demand. Electronics, solar

6:40

on. Demand is not going away. When

6:45

uncertainty rises, investors turn to precious metals

6:47

as a hedge and right now the

6:49

silver to gold ratio is at record levels. Gold

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.
