What's poppin' everybody hello and welcome to Popcorn Culture. My name is Ben Carlin and I am your host here with me today as my brother Jay, who will be in every episode.

That's me, the other one true host sometimes, you know. Okay, I mean the way we have an official leaderboard.

Yes, I am officially tied with neither neither, I believe. Okay, I'll actually been on the snow. Can I read you a review?

You absolutely can. We have a redder review in a while, but I was looking through him today and this was just a lovely five star review from Hazy Dream,

who points out something very that I feel like needs addressing. Okay, it says, okay, it says, love it, but dot dot dot.

And I was like, uh oh, and then it says, in the info on the podcast app, it says Ben and Jay are both host when that is most definitely wrong, but other than that, best podcast ever.

And I was like, what an egregious thing we do need corrected here. We need to go in, this is probably just a note for like cat or something to go in and update the description of the video.

And on the podcast app that says something to the effect of occasionally Jay, the one true host gets to host.

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Like the podcast that is occasionally hosted by Jay Carlin, we get like literally just not address me at all.

And it's just like so, so this is the way that we balance it is that we were we're we're laying emphasis on the fact that you only occasionally host.

Right, but also not mentioning me at all. Right people will be like, wait a minute. This guy. Oh my gosh, I have to tell you that one of the most one of the like kind of odd and interesting things about having a podcast is that like a lot of my friends, uh, like IRL as it were.

Yeah, I think having Ethan that either in the office has made me like lean on like little text based abbreviations way more than ever before.

Because he like he is just like literally one with jargon slash lingo. He like just he like just get it. So like, you know, he'll like say like abbreviations in our like little slack channel, which is how we like communicate here in office.

And I'm frequently I'm like, Google's what does that mean? Oh, okay hilarious. Oh man, okay.

Yeah, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. The thing is is that while it might feel like maybe you're leaning more on like abbreviation communication more than ever before. Yeah, the present.

Uh, one of the one of the things the TikTok algorithm currently is feeding me is just like people making fun of entire generations. Oh sure.

Millennials or Gen Z or boomers or whatever they whatever it is. It's always funny to me. It doesn't matter what generation you are even if it's like you're one of me millennial. I don't care. It's always fun.

You're just like so true. It's so true. It's so fascinating to be that the decade which you are born, place such a role in like the way you interact with the world like forever.

Yeah, yeah, it's like everyone kind of every generation kind of goes with like the same growing pains and same just like I roles with a generation above them.

And it's like they know whenever has like the foresight to see that the next generation will do the same thing to them. And I don't know. It's just very funny.

I want to say that I have had this foresight. I think I have had this foresight my whole life. Like it is like always occurred to me. It's like y'all realize we're going to be them someday, right? Like y'all realize that this is happening. It's coming at us.

Whether we can stop it or we can't. I don't think that's an insane sense. I was just getting really into my.
