0:06 All right, what do you think is something that the newest generation isn't going to experience because of technology? You know how A or Gen Z Gen A, right? >> I think Z and A. Z and A? >> like people always talk about like one of the things like we used to all ride our bikes. Oh. Leave the bikes on the lawn, knock on the door. Can Jimmy come out and play? And you know like I don't know if kids still do that. >> They do that now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know like things like that where people think like oh now that you're you have internet, you're never going to know this thing. Well, the thing I Go ahead. I think they're never going to experience boredom. Oh, yeah? Dude, remember like like it's funny I see all these millennial like memes of like like kids riding in a car and then they're like it's raining, right? And then they see raindrops and they're like racing them. And I'm like we all ████ did that.
0:57 >> That's true. >> We all ████ did that. >> yeah. >> Like there's just things that like you're ████ bored out of your mind so you start getting creative. >> That is true. >> Just like you're just staring. Like do you remember like just in a road trip or like on a plane, there's no TV. You're just staring at a ████ back of a seat. >> to do. Yeah, you just look. Yeah. Saving the protocol 20 times. >> Yeah. Okay, blowing air and Yeah. You make up stories with the characters in it. And then And then I think stuff like that cuz like there's even kids having like laptops or um iPads and whatever, right? Like I don't really see them imagining and playing and creating as much cuz I think this is so much more fun. Like you know >> that uh boredom is actually a good thing. So that's where that's where it nurtures creativity and if we're just constantly
1:48 being stimulated, then your brain's not working, you're just consuming. So the next generation might be less creative, actually. I believe that 100%. >> Yeah, if they're stuck to a device, they're not like playing like the way we did. I think everyone is slowly becoming less creative. Yeah. The more time we spend on our phone. Like I can kind of feel myself like if I don't take intentional time away from it. >> Yeah. Like you realize like oh ████ sometimes it's always on, you know? >> have a screen time limiter on your phone? Oh. But maybe I need to bump it up a little bit more to it, you know? Did you guys all do that thing where you're riding in the car and you're looking out the window to the side and you just imagine some guy jumping through the obstacles and over the trees and stuff and you're just like kind of tracing it like with the I used to do the same thing. I wonder if kids still do that. >> I was so original but now after you guys say all this I'm like I wasn't that original I guess. >> first actually. I used to race raindrops myself all the time. I was the best in
2:38 the world. You know what's one thing that I feel like this isn't to do with kids or anything but I started thinking about this and I'm like in the future or even now it must be very difficult to be an undercover cop. Because you have so much of a of a fingerprint. You know what I mean? Like >> Oh. Yeah and it's getting even better on how to recognize you can just ask Grok who is this with a photo, you know? Like it's I mean it it's kind of like if you have any other reference online anywhere how do you how do you just be that, you know, like on Miami Vice when they're a different guy every case? >> You almost need to like know that you're going to be a cop starting in elementary Yeah. Start scrubbing yearbooks and all that ████ cuz there's so much information now. Unless the CIA or whatever has a way of deleting everything once you become an agent or if the cover is just they have a fake Instagram profile of them just being a
3:28 criminal, you know? That's what they have to do now. >> Yeah like they would have Like Joe criminal. Yeah and it's like Joe's version of yeah. You have like infiltrated a biker gang and just you on your bike and like guns and stuff. Like that's what you have to promote probably. Yeah I was like wondering about that. Like how do how do the how does the department navigate that because it must be so easy to find that this is a dude with a family and not like >> Especially with AI, ████ >> Yeah, especially with AI. Yeah, that must get really hard. >> blows Taika's brains is um I was like when when I talk about how I used to watch movies, he doesn't he can't comprehend like getting a TV guide and then looking at when that like when is ████ Beastmaster going to come on or whatever. I'm like, "Okay, Tuesday 7:00." And then you wait the whole time cuz now everything is on demand. Yeah. And it's he was just like, "Wait, what?"
4:18 I'm like, "Yeah, you got to wait for some time." You're just like and then you you'll map your whole day out. Like, "Well, we'll have dinner at 6:00 because at 7:00 it comes on and after 7:00 if you miss it, that's it. You can't replay. You got to wait till next week or whatever." That's it. >> "What? You can't play and pause and rewind?" I'm like, "No, dude. So, you got to pay attention." I used to think that like that was um you know, like when you mentioned going to school the next day after something was on TV and everybody had seen it. Everyone gets to talk about it and I was like, "Oh, don't ever have that." And then I thought about it. I'm like, "Well, I mean, that still happens today with stuff like Love Is Blind." Let's say everybody's watching Love Is Blind. You're already connected to that community online and you can probably talk to infinitely more people than you could back when we were kids and going to school with 30 people in the class or whatever. Like, these communities are even bigger and that's all they do is like watch shows and talk
5:10 about it. So, I'm like, "Maybe comparatively it's still kind of the same. Maybe that still exists just in a different form." I think what they won't ever have that we had was worldwide cultural phenomenon that like brought us together like like everybody loving Michael Jackson or like everyone seeing um Titanic or like what do you mean? Like, you know, like there's just there wasn't so many options where you can like deep dive into a niche. >> The biggest thing was always the biggest thing. >> It was the Yeah. So, like as a kid, everybody remembers like that thing. And I think the last thing might be like Pokémon that brought so many people together at like a early age. But then like yeah, after that now everyone's isolated with like different ways of consuming
6:00 entertainment and culture and whatever. We're like I don't know if we're going to have mega mega pop phenomenon like the way that we had like you know, in the past. Right. That's true. Cuz as big as like let's say Kai Cenat is, you ask someone who's just outside of the age group and they're like I don't know who that is. Cuz if you're just not into streaming, you're just not even going to know even though he's like a mega star in that in that world. That's true. Interests are so fragmented like you could just live in your bubble. Yeah. And you know, the famous people to you are just nobody's to someone else. Cuz it was hard back then to be like underground or niche. That's true. >> And then like the you didn't have many options. So like There kind of isn't an underground if you think about it. >> Not anymore. No. >> such thing. >> No. Cuz if something's underground, it just hasn't blown up. That's everything.
6:50 That is true cuz I think back then the the joy was like the cool thing about finding something is like it felt special to you and then the people that were in the know. So like you had to go to a record shop and you found this song and you just looked at the cover and you're like ████ it and you bought it. And then you're like damn, this is some good ████ right? >> yeah. Or like a dude selling tapes in the back of his trunk and he's like you like hip hop and I'm like I do but not your ████ And then like you somehow buy it anyway and you're like oh, this is a good mix tape, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then now it's like it spreads I think things become commercialized hella quick. Like back then people just did it cuz you were like you're just trying to make some cool ████ Yeah, for the art. I think our
7:41 generation a lot of people invented ████ Like if you invented style, you invented whatever, and it was regional. So it's like someone in LA wasn't dressing like someone from San Francisco. Now the world dresses like each other. So I thought it was so cool when you like go to different countries and whatever, and then the the fashion or whatever they're doing is so different. But now it's like there's a worldwide like you could find your thing. Yeah. It's like if you're goth then like you could be in Germany, Brazil, whatever. Everyone's dressing the same way in that style. A goth in Brazil? Yeah, right, dude. And then there's like slight differences, right? Like clearly you can see how European dresses, like it's slightly different, but it's generally the same compared to like dude, when we were growing up in the '90s or whatever, like it was so different. Yeah. Yeah,
8:32 that was really different. It is different too like in terms of subcultures, I think. Like uh back then, and I guess like in the '90s, subcultures were actually pretty secret. Like you just saw pockets of whole like people hanging out doing the same thing. But then now it's like it it gets almost like exposed too quickly. Yeah, it's commercialized. >> it can grow, it's already like everyone knows about it or whatever. Have you heard about how like no new genres and styles and like things are being invented right now? It's just a remix of like everything from our generation and before. >> heard like the last new idea was like 2000 something. I forgot what it was. It was like an early 2000, like 2001, 2002, but everything else is So there's no like crazy evolution. We're all clones now. Yeah, everything else is new is like a rehash.
9:23 Yeah. Like what the fashion looks like right now, it's just basically millennial junior high fashion. Throwback Y2K. Yeah. And then even the music genre that everyone's listening to, like a lot of my employees who are like college age, right? Like, you would think they would be listening to their generation's music. It's mostly our generation's music. Dude, Thrice movements being played. I'm like, this is my college age music. And they're like, "Oh, it's good though. It's a classic." I just like the idea of you telling them like, "Hey, I I I know those guys." And they're like, "Sure, manager. Sure, boss. Boss is having one of his moments." Yeah, LMFAO, like all of Bruno Mars, like all of our ████ like they're listening to way more than Yeah, maybe like they have Sabrina Carpenter and
10:14 some other stuff, but like yeah. That's a trip that they want to hear old ████ Yeah, but I guess what's the alternative if they're not making anything that interesting now? Well, yeah, I mean and we're in Hawaii, so not everyone's listening to like trap ████ and like maybe if I was in the south or whatever, it'd be different cuz it's a lot of like their reggae and then like the pop music. >> to be too that for the first time in a long, long time, rap got dropped off the billboards. Yeah. That mumble rap ████ it up. Yeah, they like you always want to go back to the old hip-hop. Like, for me personally, like all the new stuff that comes out, you're like, I think that's why Bad Bunny is so popular. Yeah. >> And it's and it's like it's different, right? It's like salsa music like his new album is salsa music and people are like, "This is like kind of fun for everybody." >> I think people are just sad and want to
11:04 feel better. And they want to have a good time. You know what I mean? music, you're just like, "Dude, I want to kill myself." I think. Oh, yeah. And I'm just like, "I can't relate." You know, like I can't relate to ████ Chicago drill. Yeah, I What part of my life is that? I also didn't think that to like cuz even when I was a kid, like I liked 80s music when I was a kid. Like as a child. I mean obviously I grew up in 80's but then I listened to 80's in the 90's, 2000's, 2010. I didn't think I'd still be listening to main mainly 80's music. That's so weird. >> A lot of people do. Like that's what most people want to listen to. Like they want to listen to like like older white dudes. They especially in the gym. I know exactly what every type wants. Like when an old guy walks in I start playing
11:54 some like CCR. And he's like, "This is good." Let's play some Zeppelin. He's like, "Oh yeah. NICE DUDE. AWESOME." YOU KNOW. YOU'RE A DJ at the at the gym. Guy walks in you throw some classic rock and they're happy. But then you play some ████ trap music they're like, "Can we change the music?" Oh, see it would be nice if like the newest gen really did have a signature thing that felt all their own and not something that was so easily detectable as like a rehash, you know. Cuz even they're so I mean like a lot of them are adopting like now international music, right? Like they're getting into like like K-pop, like UK drill. >> That's probably the majority, right? That is true, yeah. So I think it's like there's so much content like that cuz I think our generation was like, "Oh, there's nothing that represents me. So I'm going to make something." Like
12:46 whereas now they can choose there's so many different representations. They can choose what vibe they don't have to make a vibe. Yeah. So I think Too many choices. Why create something new, right? >> Right. I I it makes sense. The menu's too stacked already. >> Yeah. Whereas like our gen was like, "Nah, that doesn't work. That doesn't work." And then like I'm going to make my own sound that I I have a feeling for. Yeah. >> Yeah, that's true. And then there's enough of a foundation for them to evolve something that already exists instead of making something brand new. Mhm.
