- **Published:** 2019-11-17

The "OK Boomer" meme and the official age range of the Baby Boomer generation (1946–1964) are discussed. The hosts express frustration over a new, slower version of the "ABC Song" attributed to Disney or Common Core influences, which changes the traditional rhythm of the "L-M-N-O-P" sequence. This change is viewed as an unnecessary disruption of a universal cultural standard.

During the knighting ceremony for Sir Joe Blazek and others, the hosts return to the topic of native advertising and its impact on millennials. They challenge the notion that younger generations are "immune" to advertising, arguing instead that they are the primary targets for sophisticated branded content from outlets like Vice. The hosts suggest that Vice's large production budgets are proof of its role as a high-end advertising platform.

### Generational Passivity, Cutting in Line

A discussion on social etiquette focuses on the "cutting in line" phenomenon, with a claim that people under 40 are too passive to confront those who skip ahead. This passivity is attributed to the modern school system. The hosts contrast this with Texas, where they claim social politeness is enforced by the prevalence of concealed carry.

A discussion regarding the Acorn undercover tapes reveals a significant gap in news awareness between different demographics. While the story was a major focus for right-wing media, many young people under 30 in professional offices were completely unaware of it. The hosts note that younger generations are increasingly disconnected from traditional television news and newspapers.
