So when did our culture die? It did die, or at least to radically change. It's not what I remember.

It's not like when I was young. As we're going to talk about today here on Free For All Friday,

welcome to the Council of Trent. Mondays and Wednesdays, we talk apologetics and theology,

but Friday, you know, we just talk about whatever I want to talk about. Whatever I want to talk about,

it's just a fun time for me to unwind and share with you my thoughts.

And if you like it, great.

If you're not a fan of these episodic elements, feel free to skip over that,

watch and listen to all other kinds of good things.

I think it was last month.

Matt Walsh did an episode in his show talking about when culture died.

And it really hit me because these are thoughts that I have been having for a long time, for years, trying to put everything together.

And he put it all together really well, like putting it all the other saying, oh, yeah, our culture really changed and for the worse. And it's just

really not enjoyable. So I want to talk about that. Special message, by the way, to my Gen Z

listeners, especially those who are listening to the podcast still, who listen to the audio podcast

to free for all Friday elements, consume media I feel like more on

YouTube YouTube shorts TikTok maybe not as many podcast listeners out there but there are some and I appreciate

that and what I want to say to Gen Z which by the way is what makes you Gen Z. People always talk

what makes different generations. I define generations by generational events.

And so if you remember certain events and you belong to that generation. So in order to be Gen X,

you got to remember where you were when the Challenger exploded. I was one year old,

so I'm not Gen X. But I remember where I was when 9-11 happened. I was in my room waking up,

because I was on the West Coast and finding out that, you know, I woke up basically. It was like 6.30 in the morning for us when the attacks are happening. My dad turns on the cable box to watch TV. And we're watching it. I spent the rest the day at school. We just watched TV the whole day at school, seeing what was going on. It got repetitive, some of the teachers wanted to turn it off, but we weren't in a mood to really do anything. If you do not remember 9-11, you are not a millennial. You are not a millennial. He said, well, I was born in, you know, I'm a millennial. I was born in 1998. No, sorry. You are, you are one of the older, you're one of the older Gen Z crowd.
