BONUS: Jenn Tests Jesse on Modern Slang

Show Intro

It's about damn time we lightened it up, like fully and completely, Jesse. And I thought what better way than to catch you up with modern slang. Who knows? Maybe it'll make your next barn sale even more fun!

(JH) And Jesse...I'm gonna start REALLY easy. This first batch comes from FOX 5's Tyler Thrasher. Here goes:

"Clanker" is a derogatory term for robots or artificial intelligence. The term originated from the "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" animated series, where it was used as a slur for battle droids, and is now being used again as robots and AI become more prominent in daily life, according to a video of middle schoolers explaining "Clanker" to their teacher, user @mr_lindsay_sped, on TikTok. 

If your middle-school student is used to a Roomba at home cleaning the floors, you may start to hear the word "clanker" being thrown around as if they are having an argument with one another.

"Crashout" means to "throw a fit," "lash out," or have a "meltdown". The term has a new meaning for Gen Alpha, as previous generations used it to mean "go to sleep hard." This one has been around a bit longer than "Clanker," but is likely the most common Gen Alpha slang term you will hear going into this new school year. 

To be honest, at least this one has some usefulness for adults as well. Because doesn't inflation, traffic and the 5 a.m. alarm make us all want to "crashout?"

"67" is from a viral meme associated with the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Skrilla. It is also linked to NBA star LaMelo Ball, who is 6'7" tall. It can be used for basketball references, to mean someone is "very tall," or in a comedic context to mean "so-so."

Chopped - No, parents. This isn't a reference to The Food Network. "Chopped," in this context, means "bad," "ruined," "messed up" or of "poor quality."

"Wow, did you see McKynleigh's outfit today? It is chopped." 

SDIYBT - Where do we even begin with this one? Here goes nothing. This is a niche internet acronym with conflicting definitions, including "Start diggin in yo butt twin" from a SpongeBob meme and "Stay driven, inspire yourself, be true." It is an internet acronym blending casual speech and texting culture.

It is more likely the first one they're referencing, if we are being totally honest. 

Meltmaxxing- is a meme where you film yourself appearing to "melt" by letting your face go slack and double-chinned.

The term Opp is a shortened version of "your enemy. 

Aura, an updated version of "vibe," refers to their perceived stylishness and strong presence.

Maxxing, which is a slang term for optimizing one's physi

SPEAKER_00 0:03

Fucking clankers.

SPEAKER_03 0:09

So it's about damn time we lightened it up, Jesse. Like fully and completely, not like a cohen and then go fucking doom because that's what we sometimes do.

SPEAKER_02 0:20

I'm totally on board. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 0:22

I thought, what's a better way than to catch you up with modern slang? So who knows? It might make your next barn sale even more fun. Top into the landing.

SPEAKER_01 0:35

Stuff like rad, like uh gag me with a chainsaw. Give me with a spoon.

SPEAKER_03 0:42

Yeah. Gag me with a chainsaw. I feel like that's my dad. Okay, so I'm gonna start off super easy, Jesse. Super easy.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

And my first batch. So these are like new words, and I have to like guess what they are.

SPEAKER_03 0:57

Yes, and I'll give you more details about what the generation is of their language.

SPEAKER_01 1:02

And I feel like now that I don't want to be able to Google anything. Yeah, oh yeah, shut that shit down. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:10

So the the first batch is coming from Fox Five's Tyler Thrasher. And I'm gonna start off so easy.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

Is that dude's name really Tyler Thrasher?

SPEAKER_03 1:21

Yeah, I know. I feel like he should make a skateboard. Yeah, it's like skateboard gear. I love that we thought the same thing, but he didn't know. So the very first word is clanker.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

Uh yeah, I know what clanker is. That's what is it? It's AI robot stuff. Yeah, it's uh you were at war with. Yeah, use it in a sentence. My clanker girlfriend is mad at me because uh I bought the wrong kind of grease.

SPEAKER_03 1:52

That's really good. I hope she wasn't. So, yes, you're exactly right. It's a derogatory term for robots or AI. The term originated from the Star Wars, the Clone Wars animated series, where it was used as a slur for battle droids and is now being used again as robots and AI become more prominent in daily life, according to a video of middle schoolers explaining clankers to their teacher. And that was from user at Mr. Lindsay Speed on TikTok. So if you're I know, isn't that great? And so there's the he went on to say this if your middle school student is used to a roomba at home, a roomba, I feel like I said that really weird. Used to a roomba at home cleaning the floors, you may start to hear the word clanger being thrown around as if they are having an argument with one another. All right, that was easy.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Gonna get I didn't know that it came from the clone. I didn't really watch the clone.

SPEAKER_03 2:53

No, me either.

SPEAKER_01 2:53

I liked uh, but I thought it came from Anna. They used to call them, yeah, exactly. I yeah, it's I I like uh on Battlestar Galactica, they used to call them toasters. They did call them toasters, and I call them that sometimes. I thought it was funny because uh funny. It's like uh you guys have toasters, all right.

SPEAKER_03 3:12

But yeah, but apparently, yes, even in the future, they want their bread to be toasted panically, okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

What there's a high probability that there were Pop Tarts on the glass.

SPEAKER_03 3:25

Oh, that's about it. Well, and they probably had so many preservatives that they had Pop Tarts from 2026 that were still preserved enough they could eat them.

SPEAKER_01 3:37

Potentially, yes, yes, all of that, all of those theories make sense.

SPEAKER_03 3:41

You know, when people say that I look young for my age, I say it's because of the Pop Tarts.

SPEAKER_01 3:47

And the preservatives, yeah, the preservatives.

SPEAKER_03 3:50

That was my dad's whole modus operandi. He's like, I will be preserved from the inside out. Oh, okay. The second term is called crash out. What do you think crash out means?

SPEAKER_01 4:03

Uh I would think that crash out would be I'm sure it's more complicated than this, but um exhaustion and uh you you have to back away from uh something or the the worlds become too too much to keep up with, so you're crashing out.

SPEAKER_03 4:22

Wow, that okay. I feel like you get partial credit because um because that I think you went even deeper. I feel like it could be used that way from this, it means to throw a fit, lash out, or have a meltdown. The term has a new meaning for gen alpha, as previous generations used it to mean go to sleep hard. This one has been around, I don't even know what to make of that. This one has been around a bit longer than Clanker, but is likely the most common gen alpha slang term you'll hear going into this new school year. To be honest, he says, at least this one has some usefulness for adults as well. Because doesn't inflation traffic and the 5 a.m. alarm make us all want to crash out? He asks. Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_01 5:13

I like that. It's kind of the it's kind of the opposite of what I said, a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 5:18

Kind of, but at the same time, I could I could feel it's relational. I feel like you got partial credit if I was scoring that. What would we have said back in the 80s? Burnt out. Yeah, I guess, right? Yeah, I think so. Or like for the fit.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

What would that have been?

SPEAKER_03 5:36

Yeah, having a tizzy fit. We would have said having a tizzy fit.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

There you go.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

Yeah, tizzy fit. The next one you may have heard of, but let's give it a go. 67. The number 67. Um, I love the dead silence.

SPEAKER_01 5:55

I I I I I I I'm I I have no idea.

SPEAKER_03 5:58

Okay, it's from a viral meme associated with the song Dute Doot 67 by Scarilla. It's also linked to NBA star. Oh fucking what? It's a song. It's also so okay. Wait, it's also linked to an NBA star, Lamella Ball, who is six foot seven inches tall. It can be used for basketball references to mean someone is very tall, or in a funny context to mean kind of so-so, kind of mid or meh, right? So 67. Apparently, it's just kind of like if something's not so great. And so what you can think of, Jesse, because if you're tested on this later, then you can think of 67 out of a hundred. Meh, it's kind of meh, right? Kind of mid. So you can you do you think you could use that one in a sentence?

SPEAKER_01 6:52

I mean, I don't uh no, I don't, honestly.

SPEAKER_03 6:58

I would say of my lunch option.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

I I'm still I'm still caught up on dude, dude. I don't I don't know what to say.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

You don't listen to the same music I do. So I do know skirt, skirt, skirt, skirt. Because I have this sticker on my um my laptop that says I skirt skirt because I hurt hurt.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

I don't know what that is. On the outside, I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_03 7:22

Skirt, skirt, skirt. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

Well, we You know, when you log into something like Spotify and it goes, uh, it goes, uh, here's the most popular songs. Like that's the first thing I scroll past. I'm just like, I don't care.

SPEAKER_03 7:35

Oh, I listen to music sometimes, uh like I would say 40% of the time, like I'm a teenage boy, because it's funny. Like my daughters giggle at that. Okay, so the next term is okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

So throw some more stuff out here now, okay? Chopped. So I should know about skirt skirt, dude. Skirt skirt, dude, all right. Who who else are we listening to over there? All right.

SPEAKER_03 8:00

No, we're not, I'm not dipping into music yet. I want to know what you think chopped means, and it's not a reference to the food network show chopped, but you can make a guess.

SPEAKER_01 8:15

Okay, well, when I used to use the word chopped, it's when I used to steal cars and then you would take them to the chop shop.

SPEAKER_03 8:23

Yeah, I had no idea, and that is a joke, they would give you money, and uh that's that's the opposite again.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

You're really good at doing the you think hey, you think that them you think that them airbags are a joke? They're not a joke. No, you get money. Those are worth some cash, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:40

That's right, but that makes it seem good. Chopped in this context means bad, ruined, messed up, or poor quality. So now you have to think the opposite, chopped. It's like chopped, it's not good.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

So maybe you got some pants online and they're chopped, like those leather pants I used to wear, like Angelina Jolie and gone in 60 seconds, like that. That those ones, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:05

Well, if they if you like the quality, but if they were falling off of you, like falling apart at the seam, they were chopped. Okay, so wow. No, no, mine were immaculate, then they're not chopped. You keep doing the opposite. Okay, here's the next one. Here we go. S D I Y B T. Here goes nothing. This is a niche internet acron acronym with conflicting definitions, including start digging in your butt, twin. That's what it stands for. Start digging in your butt, twin. And it's from a SpongeBob meme. And quote, stay driven, inspire yourself, and be true. It's an internet acronym, but I would never use either one of those those definitions.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

I would never use the stay true one because I don't believe in that like motivational poster shit. Like I would never the dig it in your butt. I would just be like, what?

SPEAKER_03 10:12

It's where the doom hole lives.

SPEAKER_04 10:18

That's where our doomhole is.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

It's the anatomical chart. It's the it's the doom hole event horizon. It's before you before you plunge into the doom hole and you're crushed. Nothing can escape the doomhole.

SPEAKER_04 10:33

You're like gripping on to the thing you're gripping on to before you fall into it.

SPEAKER_01 10:38

Yes, even light cannot ex can cannot escape the sd. It sounds like some shit that I'd plug into my computer, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 10:52

Yeah, you just put it in the s d i t port. It sounds kind of like spyware too. Like when you go, is there spyware on my computer? And it brings up jason.sdb sd i y bt. See, I can't even do this one, so I hope it makes you feel better because I don't know all these. Some of these I did not know. Um, what about you know this one because I feel like we covered it? Melt maxing.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

Melt max.

SPEAKER_03 11:19

I thought we talked about this briefly. We talked about no looks maxing, right? And we'll talk about that later. But melt maxing is a meme where you film yourself appearing to melt by letting your face go slack and double chinned. Okay, slack and double chinned. I don't know how we would do this.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

I we used to just all take acid and watch each other's faces melt.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

We would actually do it in real life.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Yeah, it would actually do it in real life.

SPEAKER_03 11:47

That's what you're saying. Yeah, okay. Now you're gonna get this one easily.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

I don't know what these kids are up to nowadays, but we used to take acid and take care of that.

SPEAKER_03 11:56

They're doing it without the drugs. Isn't that great? It's free, and also they don't have the drugs.

SPEAKER_01 12:02

I get I guess I guess Nancy Reagan would be proud. You know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 12:07

Okay, how about the term op? Op. You know, you know what this is.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

OPP, op. I know what OPP is. It's OPP. It's a shorten. I don't know. It's a shortened version. I don't think I can say that on a family on a family podcast.

SPEAKER_03 12:31

I don't think this is a family podcast, but you're right if it ever becomes that. It's a shortened version of opposition, your enemy. How about aura? You know, aura, a u R A, Aura.

SPEAKER_01 12:45

I know that I used to tell people that I could read their aura, you know. Well, then you really close it.

SPEAKER_03 12:52

We're trying to strike up conversations with them in the new age bookstore, but uh that it was like you were hitting on people by talking about being able to see their aura.

SPEAKER_01 13:02

No, of course not.

SPEAKER_03 13:03

I feel like we know a little bit dark side of Jesse. Yeah, yeah, help them. Okay, it's an updated version of vibe. So, you know, people talk about the vibe of things, you know. I do use vibe quite a bit. Well, now you can try aura, just use aura for vibe. You know, they're synonyms, it's just you know, the same thing, like a strong presence, stylishness. You know, when you see somebody in a nice outfit, you might say, Wow, you have aura today. So try it out. I want you to try that out at your next barn sale.

SPEAKER_01 13:41

The the the people uh the people at barn sale aren't gonna know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_03 13:46

What if you tell them? Just say, listen to our episode. Okay, then this is an oldie hoodie.

SPEAKER_01 13:51

It's gonna be like that's just gonna be proud. What what'd you call me? What'd you say?

SPEAKER_03 13:56

I got a whoop. Okay, before we take our first break, because there's two parts of this quiz. There's two parts of this, huh? You are ill-prepared.

SPEAKER_04 14:06

I feel like I'm taking the SATs all over again. It's fun, like it's literally the aurals. No, I love it.

SPEAKER_01 14:14

This isn't oldie but a goodie. It's the orals, it's the auras part of the aura orals.

SPEAKER_03 14:21

It's the aura or this is so hard to say. God damn, that's hard to say. Skippity saying that.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

Okay, keep going.

SPEAKER_03 14:29

I know it just feels so inappropriate.

SPEAKER_04 14:30

We are so not a family show.

SPEAKER_01 14:32

Skibbity, skibbity. Oh, that's it. Does that is that that that's the toilet thing?

SPEAKER_03 14:38

I don't want to it's just a nonsense word, apparently. I thought it meant a toilet thing, too. It's funny that you said that. Apparently, it's a nonsensical term used to describe something chaotic or unexpected, often referencing a popular series of online videos. So skibbity. Now there's Alpha Sigma. It's a title for an individual who's perceived as a leader, confident, and popular, used in a humorous or ironic context. But Sigma all by itself, if you just say sigma, that means kind of a B-tiered person, apparently. It's like, oh, they're Sigma. So they're you know, uh kind of mid.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

I thought we were calling them betas.

SPEAKER_03 15:22

No, we're not. Oh, we've moved on to Alpha Sigma and Sigma is if Alpha Sigma were sigmas. Okay, Sigma is kind of meh. How about we saw this online yesterday? I tried to give you a hint that we would go over this material today. Riz.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Oh, yeah. Uh okay, because Anna Maria used that in the sentence. Uh Riz is uh, I I guess you're trying to impress uh uh uh potential what have you, or you have uh short it's charisma, short for charisma on that famous thoroughfare, putting in there. How's it go? Uh putting on the writs, putting on the riz. This is a riz, exactly. But isn't it kind of the same thing? Okay, no spats, lots of dollars. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 16:22

I picture I need a cane. Put on the riz.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Okay, I got that reference. And anyone listening, if you didn't, you you you need help. You need you contact us privately.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

Now it's gonna be in my head.

SPEAKER_04 16:40

Thank you, Gary Riley. Every once in a while I get a voice message from my dad, and he'd go, put it so awful.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

I totally, I totally wasn't even thinking about that.

SPEAKER_03 16:53

You know, we're gonna take a mental break here just for a moment. I found a great article about slang from Florida today, who writes this school has been in session for almost an entire month at this writing. Have your kids or teachers in your life added any new words to their vocabulary? Internet slang is already confusing enough. Now it seems like there are enough new words and phrases to create another language, spoken solely between Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Thanks to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Some of these phrases have gained immense popularity and rapidly spread among the masses, some of them positive, some of them negative, and others that honestly don't make sense at all. Wondering if it's time to check into a nursing home, don't give up yet.

SPEAKER_04 17:41

Here's a guide to some of the trending slang words and phrases to help you better understand the youth of today.

SPEAKER_03 17:48

Put another ring. Put another ring. Okay. So here's a couple facts. How old is Gen Z right now and Gen Alpha? Those who are a part of Gen Z were born between 1995 and 2009, making the youngest members still in high school at about 16 years old. As for Gen Alpha, it comp it comprises the years 2010 through 2024, making the oldest members 15 years old. Okay, Jesse, that was your break. Are you ready for more?

SPEAKER_01 18:20

And if you hear some uh uh wait, oh oh and if uh sorry what if you hear if I hear one that in my hand or like if you hear something I went over in batch number one. Are we talking about the voices again?

SPEAKER_03 18:42

But if you hear if you hear somebody went over in batch number one, you better know the answer. All right.

SPEAKER_01 18:51

I feel like that's not a pop quizzes work, but okay.

SPEAKER_03 18:57

These are the slang terms that Florida today covered. What they call Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang glossary, and I'll have links to all these in the show notes. And they call it this they say kids say the darndest thing. And here's the Gen Z, Gen Alpha slang glossary six seven or sixty-seven. Remember that?

SPEAKER_01 19:18

Yeah, I remember it. I don't remember what it meant. Mediocre basketball. Okay, mediocre. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 19:23

All right, just we'll say mediocre. How about eight or eats? Like, okay, I'm gonna use it in a sentence. Did you hear Chappelle Roan's album Hot to Go? It totally ate.

SPEAKER_01 19:37

I don't understand one word you said in that entire sentence.

SPEAKER_04 19:41

I don't know what used to describe someone doing a great job or something. Wait, wait, say that sentence again.

SPEAKER_03 19:49

What is it? Okay, here's the sentence. Did you hear Chapel Road's album Hot to Go? It totally ate. What the fuck is a Chapel Road? I don't know what the I don't know what you're talking about. Okay, here you've heard this one before, Aura.

SPEAKER_04 20:05

So what word can we synonymously use with aura?

SPEAKER_01 20:10

Okay, it wasn't oral, it was uh wait, vibe.

SPEAKER_03 20:16

It was vibe, yes, exactly. I'm gonna use it in a sentence so that we really bring it home. Seriously, what's a chapel roan? I don't know what I'm talking about. What are you talking about? Did you see Jessica Tripp in front of her crush in the hallway this morning? She lost so many aura points. I feel so bad for her. That was the sentence that they gave. Is her name Jessica Tripp or did she trip? How about this? He doesn't even try to be cool, he just has a natural aura, right?

SPEAKER_01 20:48

That's me. Uh yeah, that's okay. That's me.

SPEAKER_03 20:50

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 20:51

That's been the that's been my cross to bear my entire life.

SPEAKER_03 20:54

It's that's why I brought that one home. How about chat? Chat, chat chat, not chat bot, just chat.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

You're to having a conversation, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:07

You get part credit. Chat is like saying, hey guys or y'all, it stems from streamers addressing their online audiences in the chat section of live streams. So using it in this sentence.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

That's the that's the Gen Z version of uh when you know, anytime some asshole starts an email with hi team, I'm already checked out. I'm just I I just delete the email. I don't even read it.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

Okay, clearly it brings out the bad side of you, but here's the sentence chat. Did our history teacher really just give us homework on the labor day? Chat, but isn't chat a little a little better?

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Chat, hey, chat or when they just start team, it's like I'm not your fucking team. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 21:57

Okay, we talked about chopped. Remember chopped. You thought it was good, but it's actually unattractive or bad. And here's the sentence maybe this will bring it home for you.

SPEAKER_01 22:07

Oh yeah, it was like Timu leather pants. Okay, exactly. I remember. I got it.

SPEAKER_03 22:11

That poor girl ran out of the classroom crying because someone said her new eyelash extensions made her look chopped. So can you remember that? Chopped. Not good.

SPEAKER_01 22:24

Eyelash extensions.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

Don't worry about that too much. Chronically online. What does that mean? Come on, you've got this. Chronically online.

SPEAKER_01 22:36

That's that's that's that's me. That's hell. That that's where I am, that's where I live now.

SPEAKER_03 22:41

That's right. A D a term used to describe individuals like Jesse who are deeply involved with internet culture. Um, and they also go on to say this spending a significant amount of time online for better or for worse. And here's the sentence because brace yourself. We're gonna use two terms in this sentence. I don't know what 67 means because I'm not chronically online.

SPEAKER_01 23:11

True. True. I guess that's true. I guess true.

SPEAKER_03 23:16

How about clock it to clock something? Clock it clock it. I'm gonna use it in a sentence and see if you can guess better than a song diddy. She thought she got away with cheating on her test, but little did she know I clocked it.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

Oh, so I you you you noticed it, you saw it.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

You hit the nail on the head, you agree, you saw it. Cracked, I know you know what cracked is. It's basically being unstable, chaotic, ghoulish, irrational, or wild, right? Did you see her pick that random vape off the ground and hit it? That was cracked. Don't you like the example sentences?

SPEAKER_01 24:08

This is the world that these people live in.

SPEAKER_04 24:11

Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_01 24:13

Or it's a possibility that you what about Delulu? You see a vape on like just lying on the ground, you know?

SPEAKER_03 24:21

And they endured 2020.

SPEAKER_01 24:24

It's like, you know, we went, we went everything was a I feel like I kind of want to hit, I kind of feel like I want to hit this and get high off of uh some some some death chemical shit that's gonna taste like fruity pebbles and fucking remember the kids.

SPEAKER_03 24:40

That's that's back in the day. You'd see kids that are like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

But I don't want to be too cracked about, you know.

SPEAKER_03 24:47

Okay, delulu short for delusional. That's good. Did you really think you'd pass that final test without studying your delulu? Gagged or gag is different than I think it's slightly different than how we used it. Gag or gagged is to, it's the opposite of what you think it is. I'm trying to give you hints. Gagged, gag. I'll use it in a sentence. I was so gagged when Ashley said Brad cheated on her. They've been together since middle school. I just wish people could see your expression. It's to be amazed, stunned, surprised, impressed, left speechless.

SPEAKER_04 25:33

Oh my god, you're gonna love this next one.

SPEAKER_01 25:35

Can you believe that Brad did that? Can you believe that Brad cheated on Ashley? So again, he's got so much fucking aura. How would he do that?

SPEAKER_03 25:47

That was so good, and he's so six seven. He's so six seven. Oh, he's so he's so alpha. No, he's so sigma. He's Sigma. He's Sigma. Okay, have you heard of this term? Italian brain rot. It's not a condition that would keep the zombies away. Why don't we have to throw the Italians in there? You'll see, you'll see in a minute. Here's your sentence. She's been on Italian brain rot TikTok too much. I heard her saying she wanted a ballerina cappuccino this morning at the coffee shop. So this refers to a series of nonsense videos with AI generated images and audios that say random phrases in Italian gibberish. So it's called Italian brain rot.

SPEAKER_01 26:35

It's a thing. In this house, we respect Italian history.

unknown 26:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 26:42

But I feel like you would have so many like suggestions because you've actually watched Italian movies.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:53

But I mean, you're not gonna go order a ballerina cappuccino this morning.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

I don't I don't know what that is. That in the Italian movies I'm watching, they're not ordering whatever that is, ballerina cappuccino. What the fuck is a ballerina cappuccino?

SPEAKER_03 27:11

It's people using they've watched too much Italian Bray Rot TikTok. And so now they're actually ordering this stuff in the going in the coffee shop and ordering a chapel roan. I don't understand what's happening. We know about looks maxing. We talked about it on our show on a doom hole, but just in case listeners haven't heard, I'm gonna just remind them it's an online movement dedicated to maximizing your physical appearance, often through a variety of techniques, including improving your jawline, skincare, and muscles. That came from the BB's.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

I feel like improving is I feel like we're stretching the definition of that word very much.

SPEAKER_03 27:55

I do too, because it it calls to mind, and I really didn't want to go there this week. Lauren Sanchez Bezos, because it's going too far and people look so weird.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

I don't know what she's doing as looks back either. I think she's just like it's not, I think she's just making the general plastic surgery rounds, like you know, everybody else, you know.

SPEAKER_03 28:17

There's only a few more left, but I really think they're important because it kind of needs to change the way that I audio edit. There's a thing called millennial pause, and it refers to that brief pause before speaking at the start of a TikTok or Instagram video, often observed by millennials. And to use it in a sentence, my older sister keeps doing the millennial pause as soon as we get on FaceTime and it is bothering me. So when you like pause at the beginning of a video, that's called the millennial pause. It's such shade that they're throwing at the millennials. So there's that. So try not to like I'll just edit out all the pauses at the beginning. We go straight into our action though. People catch us if you know. Actually, we were on the cutting edge of this because we are having a conversation and then we just oh, that's right, we're recording a podcast. So ha ha.

SPEAKER_01 29:16

Yeah, we just we just start talking.

SPEAKER_03 29:19

Yeah, exactly. Okay, then there's this really interesting one. I there's no way in hell you will guess this. It's Annika burgers, burgers as in chopping burgers.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

Thank god, I have no idea what the fuck what I mean.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

It's the ultimate, so this is called the ultimate stan culture meme. It refers to an infamous reply on a 2023 pop-based tweet about Kim Kardashian's daughter, Northwest. Drawing of she did this drawing of her grandmother, Chris Jenner, and a user replied, why she ate, to which another account responded with she equals Annika ate equals burgers what?

SPEAKER_04 30:08

So this is we're gonna use it in a sentence.

SPEAKER_01 30:10

I don't even understand. When you said like stand something at the beginning, I don't even know what the fuck that means. And then, like, when you got into the actual thing, I double don't know what that means.

SPEAKER_03 30:25

What the fuck is an Onika Burger? I'm gonna use it in a sentence that they gave us. Oh, you think Cardi B's new single ate? Onika burgers. That's how we would use it. So somebody's saying Cardi B B's single was good.

SPEAKER_01 30:41

Say that whole thing again. Oh, you think Cardi B's new single ate? I don't know what that is.

unknown 30:47

Keep going.

SPEAKER_01 30:50

Cardi B is a pop singer. No, okay, great. Uh God, God bless her. No clue. Keep going.

SPEAKER_03 30:57

And then eight. She her new single eight, that means really good. Remember, I taught you that earlier.

SPEAKER_01 31:03

Yeah, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 31:04

And then Onika Burgers, because that's their opinion of obviously.

SPEAKER_01 31:08

I have to listen to some Cardi B when I get off of this.

SPEAKER_03 31:11

I think you do. All right, we know Riz, so we don't have to go over that again. And how about Slay? Slay has been out there forever since dance moms. Yeah, exactly. Wait, wait, wait, since what? Dance moms? You know that show Dance Moms where there's the little dancers and they would dance, and then Abby would like be mean to them, but they do these dance competitions. It was a reality show. I have watched many hours of it.

SPEAKER_01 31:37

Look at me. Did your sister watch it? Tell uh okay. Now ask me again if I know anything what the fuck you just talked about.

SPEAKER_03 31:48

Okay, and then the last one I will bring up is we know what this is because we do it a lot. Yapping. The New York Times shares it means to talk a lot, often about subjects of little importance.

SPEAKER_01 32:05

And that's it. I like to think that everything we talk about is of utmost importance.

SPEAKER_03 32:09

I like to think that exactly.

SPEAKER_04 32:13

I I think some of what we talk about and some is like ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01 32:18

Is that where like uh yapping? Like they get like Tootie and uh uh uh um that's from Fats of Life. Yeah, they get like Tootie and like that the uh Blair and like that chick that like uh you know the crocodile hunter's daughter, and that when they get is that is that where they get all those people and they dance? Is that what you're talking about?

SPEAKER_03 32:44

No, no, it's not. Dance Moms was a show that it was on for years and years and years, and these little kids and like this um dance instructor, she was very Machiavellian, and so she'd pit them against each other, and they were just these little kids, and she had her obvious favor, a favorite in Maddie, and um they would like have these dance competitions, and then at the end, you know, you had the end of the show would always be them in the competition with the whole competition, yeah, and it was real, like they actually existed. Then Abby got in trouble for her taxes or not paying them, and she went to jail, and these girls were teenagers, and she went to jail for her taxes, but she didn't go to jail for all that whatever the fuck else. And you should hear what she said and the way she pitted them against each other, and then the mothers there was mom drama, so that's why it was Dan's mom's.

SPEAKER_01 33:40

I'm sure nobody is in therapy still because of this.

SPEAKER_03 33:44

I am certain that is not true, but it is the kind of shit that people watch nowadays.

SPEAKER_01 33:50

Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 33:51

No, no, this was like 15 years ago, I would guess. It was a big, and then they tried when Abby got out of jail recently in the last five years, they tried to kind of re-up the show, and it just has fallen flat. Like nobody cares. Everybody loved how mean Abby was with the girls and how mean she was to the daughters, and how mockavillion she was, and uh, you know, they like the brutality apparently.

SPEAKER_01 34:17

I I when when I when uh survivor became a thing, oh yeah, yeah. I I I was like, nope, and immediately checked out.

SPEAKER_03 34:27

I I've never watched Survivor either.

SPEAKER_01 34:29

If it's if it's reality television, that's a negative. No, not for me. I don't do that. Sorry, I don't know what any of that stuff so you wouldn't know dance bumps.

SPEAKER_03 34:40

Well, it wasn't real. I mean, you know, TDS.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Although you know what? I will fess up. Okay, I will fess up. I had surgery one time and uh I had to be on a lot of drugs post surgery. Yes, and uh so I found my and this was back in its heyday, I suppose. I I I found myself um binging like uh uh like uh uh like several seasons of uh Jersey Shore over a weekend because that's all they played on. Oh, I know, yeah, I know uh all about uh Snooky.

SPEAKER_03 35:17

Uh I was just gonna ask you about Snooky, the Snooky bump, because that was a big style thing with women. They did the Snooky Bump where they took their hair and they bumped it out.

SPEAKER_01 35:28

Snookie and uh uh what uh the the situation and uh the rest of their names. Sammy Sweetheart. Yeah, I know yeah, uh, and so I was just like to just like out of my mind on like fucking Vikadin after back surgery like that. It would be better, it would be better on drugs. I mean, it seemed like I enjoyed watching it, and then like now, like once once that was over and like I wasn't on the drugs anymore, I don't remember any of it hardly. I just kind of remember neither do they, Jesse. Like, neither do they. Yeah, I feel like they were on drugs too. So I feel like I was in the right headspace to watch it.

SPEAKER_03 36:08

I think so. Exactly. Remember in college when they told you if you were drinking alcohol to study for a test, you had to drink alcohol before you took the test. I remember that. Do you remember that?

SPEAKER_01 36:19

Yeah, yeah, totally. There was a yeah, and I tried that a couple times, and it I think it worked. Um me too. There was a show on uh Fox, and this was when I lived in uh because we knew some people that were, you know, because reality TV was a new thing, and oh yeah, we knew a bunch of people that are getting jobs, and uh, so there was a show, and it it was something about it was like a guy pretended he was a millionaire. Do you remember this show? No, you have to tell me more about it.

SPEAKER_03 36:53

Maybe I'll remember.

SPEAKER_01 36:55

So there was a guy who pretended he was a millionaire, and that's what they told all these ladies in the like contestants, yeah. It was like uh uh what's that and they're trying to date him. Or is that them where they give the road? Yeah, that that that so but they but they told them they told all of them that this guy, but this guy was just like a normal dude, you know, he was just a regular guy, so they lied. But they told they told them that which when you think about it now, it's awful, you know. I mean, oh my god, yes, it was just like okay, you know, but um I am so they so they had this thing, and like we saw a couple episodes of it or whatever. We knew somebody that was working on it, and me and my buddy were like walking down the street one day, and we see this guy saying, you know, after the show's over, you know, because at the end of the show he reveals, you know, that like uh hey, I'm just I'm darn poor. I don't got shit. Can you give me a ride to the bus station? Exactly. That's kind of what it was. But like I guess I guess he was hanging around in Hollywood waiting for his next gig, you know what I mean? Which I don't think ever happened. Oh my god. We're walking down the street and like uh and like this guy's this guy's coming up to us, and without missing a beat, my buddy just looks up at him and goes, Evan, and just nods and keep and we keep walking. Oh my god, and the dude was like uh he knows me, yeah. And yeah, it was just and then we just we turn the corner and we fucking died. I was like, what the fuck, dude? We died laughing. He's like, you know, he's like, that's the dude's name, I guess, you know, right? I'm reading.

SPEAKER_03 38:41

I'm reading a book right now called Would Be, and it's like a fiction book, but the whole premise of it is these women that endured, you know, um, some sexual abuse when they were kids, but they didn't they didn't perceive it as such because of the dynamics of the whole thing. It's very complicated, but it's really well written and interesting. But one of the people that endured this abuse goes on, they don't call it the Bachelorette or The Bachelor, they call it like the dating show, and they talk about that because I did watch some of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, and then you see people that really do have unaddressed mental illness that they picked on purpose to make the show dramatic. You can tell I know they do explain it. It's so bad that they exploited people like that.

SPEAKER_01 39:27

Anybody, anybody, anybody who's who who who who enjoys watching these shows, I'm not I'm not bagging on you. I'm not either like uh not that that shit's not scripted, but right, you know, I'm a I'm a story thinking, I'm a scripted guy. I I want to watch I want I I want to watch fiction or like an actual documentary. Actual fiction, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:49

Yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 39:50

But like if that's your thing, if you it whatever the fuck a Vanderpump is, if you like to go home and like watch that shit, like knock yourselves out, you know. Yeah, if it's an escape God bless you, if it's an escape that doesn't hurt anybody. Yeah, because we've already we've already talked about how uh shitty life can be nowadays. If that's what brings you joy, go for it, you know. So Jizzy Jesse, I almost called you Jizzy. I'm Jizzy, Jesse. I feel like I'm a yo J and Jizzy like when I feel like I'm a like a when when Will Smith used to rap, you know. Jizzy J. Jizzy J.

SPEAKER_03 40:32

Summertime summertime. Summer, summer, summertime, summertime. I always tell Cooper every night at five o'clock when I feed Cooper, I go, Supper, supper, supper time, supper time, and then he barks, barks, barks. And Doug's like, Don't let him bark for his food. But I'm like, he's singing along with me. This is like every day. He's really into it. Just let him be into it. Cooper loves it. Exactly. All right, well, that's it. We're not doom hauling at all. Do you feel more educated, ready to go out there and try your new words? I gotta be honest, Jen.

SPEAKER_01 41:07

Yeah, God bless you for trying to bring me into the into modern times. Yeah. But uh, I feel like one of those, I feel like one of those people that like writes for Miriam Webster, who every year they're like, fuck. You've got the pre socks. I'm like, I'm like, I guess I have to. I I picture I guess we have to add it to the dictionary this year, but like because like this is the one time of year that like Miriam Webster gets in the fucking news. You know, it's like uh this is what I'm always looking for, it's like uh, you know, Jesse.

SPEAKER_04 41:49

I picture you right now in compression socks, and you're wearing compression socks, and you're in a little wheelchair, and people are lifting you from both sides, and you're giving a little bow.

SPEAKER_01 41:59

What the fuck if I am? Maybe I am, you don't know. But uh my nurse will be here any moment. Um you know what I mean? And they're like, uh okay. I guess we've gotta add razzle razzle dumpster to the fucking dictionary this year. You know?

SPEAKER_04 42:20

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 42:21

Okay, well, it's been fun trying. I I'm gonna try to drop some of these terms uh the next time we're um doing a live on Substack together, just to see, you know, just to change it up.

SPEAKER_01 42:34

I'm gonna show you how that I'm gonna show you how much I learned and how much my life has changed by like still not knowing half of what you're talking about. But I mean, but but you know what? Honestly, Jen, I appreciate I I I appreciate the effort, and I do like to learn new words. So this has been very educational. Oh, this has been like a um this has been like uh like a Black Mirror episode of Sesame Street.

SPEAKER_03 42:59

With that, I'll just say that people call Palantir the Nazi Salesforce. I thought that was funny. I saw that online today.

SPEAKER_01 43:07

Didn't they say that on uh better offline?

SPEAKER_04 43:09

They totally did. I was laughing my ass off.

SPEAKER_01 43:12

And then he was like, uh, yeah, it's so uh and and then he's like, well, you know, honestly, it's just kind of like Salesforce. Or no, he's just talking about Oracle. No, he was talking about Oracle because Oracle is a it, but yeah, okay, so it's just Oracle.
