Table 4 Three
Welcome to the table where you will dine on three unprofessional opinions for the night. Table For Three is meant to be a light-hearted space that talks about everyday events from the perspective of three regular ass people. We look to bring humor to our topics...think of us like the comment section on TikTok. Now, things can get messy at the table as we all know, so come prepared with a bib.
Table 4 Three
Episode 077: Millennials vs Gen Z: w/ guest Ashanti
Have you ever wondered what happens when Millennials and Gen Z sit down for a candid conversation about their generations? In this special episode of The Table, we bring together both perspectives with guest Ashanti representing Gen Z in a fascinating debate about which generation has the edge.
The conversation moves seamlessly between humor and depth as we explore how technological adaptation shapes our worldviews. Millennials pride themselves on straddling both digital and analog worlds—we know how to use a phone book when Google fails and can read an actual map when GPS stops working. Meanwhile, Gen Z brings an intuitive understanding of emerging technologies that gives them an undeniable advantage in our rapidly changing digital landscape.
We dive into how parenting styles have evolved, with Millennials often taking a more communicative approach than the strict disciplinarian methods they experienced growing up. Ashanti offers brilliant insights about how Gen Z values emotional intelligence and open dialogue, challenging us to consider how we might bridge generational divides within our own families.
Perhaps most poignant is our examination of how social media creates unprecedented pressure, especially for younger generations. As one moment in our conversation highlights: "Social media got y'all rushing your goals. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy." We discuss how the curated perfection of online lives creates unrealistic expectations and contributes to anxiety among young people who feel perpetually behind.
The episode culminates in a joyful reggae music showdown that reminds us all that despite our different cultural touchpoints—from Tamagotchis to TikTok—both generations share more common ground than we might initially recognize. Join us for this enlightening conversation that will have you questioning your assumptions about generational divides while celebrating what makes each unique.

Speaker 1:I can't do it.
Speaker 3:Anything for your kids right.
Speaker 1:Should be fine. Okay, what's going on in this crazy world today?
Speaker 2:You know just a little bit of that, so not a lot of that.
Speaker 1:A little bit so did you just put it? Why do you always got to focus on show tunes to?
Speaker 3:the topic, so we just just passed it.
Speaker 1:She throws a show tune on anything.
Speaker 2:You guys heard about that Florida father, I mean Georgia father anything you guys heard about that.
Speaker 1:Uh, that florida father I mean georgia father out you know I was trying to bring everything back to florida come on florida.
Speaker 3:You gotta do better, but this is. We haven't talked about florida in a while, have we? We did, we did a couple episodes ago.
Speaker 1:They've been surviving. Yeah, thank you, florida, for not making the news, even though you probably did, and we just never seen it. Just keep it like that. I can't see see it?
Speaker 2:No, no, Georgia. So 24 year old Chris Lewis from Augusta, Georgia. He was charged with deprivation of a minor, so evidently he brought his little babies ages 1, 6, and 10 to McDonald's to play in the playscape and get a. They still got playscapes at McDonald's. Some of them yeah and get a. They still got playscapes at. Mcdonald's some of them. Yeah, get a little cheeseburger and a little fry yo maybe a little nugget. Yeah, look flurry. No, so the local police got a call that um there were children.
Speaker 2:That was unattended there mm and a witness, uh, claimed that they saw him with his children around 4.30 that day, and then the witness claims that they observed him leaving the restaurant and then returning later and then leaving a second time. So he's checking on his kids.
Speaker 1:So when he arrived back, it's all like he's checking on the kids.
Speaker 2:When he arrived back a couple hours later, he found his kids, but he also found the police officers and um found out that he didn't own the. He was trying to explain like that. He didn't own the vehicle, own a vehicle and so he had walked to the restaurant um from his apartment with the kids and he didn't want to make them walk back as he was going to a job interview. So he's saying that he brought the kids to McDonald's so they could play and eat, keep them busy, to a job interview, so that he could support them. But he didn't have a vehicle.
Speaker 1:He sound like a good man, savannah. Yeah, a vehicle. He sound like a good man, savannah.
Speaker 2:Shortly after, once all the debacle with the police, you know the mother arrived and ended up taking the kids home.
Speaker 1:So where was she? No, no, go ahead. Go ahead, me and you on the same page.
Speaker 3:Go ahead and say what she was about to say. Let him finish.
Speaker 2:Because I know you're going to ask, but I believe that they're not um together, together, okay, um, but even still yeah, why not reach out and touch right? Um, but yeah, so. But then, uh, another story came out after the fact, where, because the children, you know, kids got big mouths that ended up saying that daddy wasn't at no interview. Daddy does this all the time. Mcdonald's is just our babysitter.
Speaker 1:Yo yeah Wait.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then didn't somebody put up money to get him out A celebrity? Was it a football player or something?
Speaker 2:like that. I think it was Okay. Let me get this straight.
Speaker 1:Yo, that's why you always gotta like dig into her shit, because my man went to McDonald's, dropped off his kids for a supposed interview, which understandable, but you got a one-year-old who's.
Speaker 2:Why are you leaving a one-year-old? You got a one-year-old who's? Why are you leaving a one-year-old?
Speaker 1:You got a 10-year-old that can watch him, you're right, but he's trying to get his life together. If it's the interview thing, then he's trying to get his life together and he didn't you know where moms was like. He couldn't call moms and be like yo. Can I watch these kids for me?
Speaker 3:she probably was like no motherfucker them, your kids. That's your time you watching bitches.
Speaker 2:So he had to do what he had to do which makes me feel like the kids was telling the truth, because he could have been searching, if you reached out to the kids mother and said hey, I'm going to a job interview. Can you watch the kids for me?
Speaker 1:I know it's my time.
Speaker 2:If she say no, that's bullshit, because why wouldn't you want to if he's trying to better himself? Because that may end up trickling down.
Speaker 3:But then when you think about the other aspect, you have some assholes out there.
Speaker 2:They broke up?
Speaker 3:No, absolutely, she probably be like nah, nigga, fuck you If he's going to that money may eventually end up in her pocket.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, why wouldn't she want to?
Speaker 3:Exactly If they that spiteful help in that situation. Because you got some stupid dummies though.
Speaker 1:Okay, and then he walked to the interview and then he said it took a couple hours, Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:So I'm suspicious, me too.
Speaker 2:I was about to say I was like he was going to get his back blown.
Speaker 3:I said he was going to go blow some back out on me or he was getting his back blown. I did say it.
Speaker 2:That's what I thought she said I did. I said it was going to go on. I didn't hear the first part. It might be the latter, but anyway, ain't nothing wrong with that Listen. What I understand is this McDonald's was the closest to his home.
Speaker 3:The crazy part is, if you're going to leave your kids, leave them motherfuckers at home, no, but why would you put them in public?
Speaker 2:Because they needed to be fed.
Speaker 3:He put them there. In the case that they choked on the burger, somebody was going to be there to protect them, because if they was at home.
Speaker 1:Did this McDonald's have the ball pit?
Speaker 2:I'm sure in his mind.
Speaker 3:Wait, no, I want to know where you go with the ball pit.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, back in the day, people used to get stuck in the ball pit. That's why they took them out.
Speaker 2:I've never been stuck in a ball pit, you know you've been stuck in a ball pit, and you will never be stuck in a ball pit.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, you'll fuck them balls up Like get the fuck out hey yo. Get them shits out of here. You know what I mean. No, we don't. No but back in the day the reason why they took those ball pits out because people would leave like needles and shit.
Speaker 3:Needles and shit. You got stuck in a ball pit no.
Speaker 2:Didn't you have a birthday there?
Speaker 3:You ain't know me though.
Speaker 1:That's what you said.
Speaker 2:That's what you said. I remember she had a birthday.
Speaker 3:I did and I slipped in the mud.
Speaker 1:Got my little dress all messed up and Matt DeNight was on the piano singing you happy birthday.
Speaker 2:This was in the 80s. This was in the 80s.
Speaker 3:The good era, by the way.
Speaker 4:We're not there yet. Relax.
Speaker 1:You're talking shit.
Speaker 2:Check one for us, though McDonald's in the playpen was us. Nene had a birthday party at McDonald's and specifically it was the McDonald's in Bloomfield, connecticut. At the Capaco Center when they used to have the animals at the farm.
Speaker 3:That is before my time. We all got.
Speaker 2:We got a burger and a pet to animals. We got a burger and we got milk and I was so upset because I do not like milk and I wanted yeah.
Speaker 4:I do not like milk.
Speaker 3:He wanted juice.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I wanted yeah, he been telling this story for years. You threw me for a second because you was like it's an animal farm and you got burgers and you got milk. So I already know where you got the milk from. You thought he was out there milking the cow. I thought he was getting on them teats.
Speaker 2:Somebody had to pay for the food. I was raised by a single mom so that's why you're good at it today.
Speaker 1:I'm leaving. Alright, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:He didn't tell everybody.
Speaker 1:He was the cop. I'm the whole village.
Speaker 3:Whoa, I got enough for the village. Both of y'all need to turn y'all mics on table for two. How are you, ashazi? How are you?
Speaker 4:I'm trying to maintain.
Speaker 2:This is welcome to the show oh yeah, yeah, that's right either way, I'm kind of calling bullshit, because the kids said that he do this all the time you know, the kids tell the truth, whether or not he just has a lot of job interviews, because he's really out there hustling.
Speaker 3:At some point you got to get a job. He should have applied for McDonald's. He had his kids there every now and then I mean it's right there I'm not convinced and he could sit there and watch them while they playing in the playpen, while he working Minimum wage is like $18, ain't it?
Speaker 2:Every day is bring your kid to work day oh he good Hours, though, like.
Speaker 3:that's why I'm confused, because you Yo for real. You went to McDonald's. You left the kids there. I'm assuming you went back to the house to change, they say he left and then came back and then left again.
Speaker 1:So he checked on the kids to make sure they was good, maybe he had two interviews that day. I don't know an interview that goes a couple hours like that, though, Unless they was like hey, I'm going to, you know, come. You did so well, come meet the boss. And the boss is bosses.
Speaker 3:He wasn't going for those type of jobs.
Speaker 1:Maybe he had a lot to say, I mean give the man the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2:Or maybe the walk was long. Maybe that's why it took so long. I'm not understanding why he went to check on her. This is in.
Speaker 3:New York, just to leave them there no Georgia, so wait wait, wait, pause Hold on. I do have another question when did this happen?
Speaker 4:You know I'm going to investigate. When did this happen?
Speaker 3:This happened last month, so this was last month. And how old was the oldest child?
Speaker 2:Ten, ten, one, six and ten. Oh, so them niggas ain't in school. Oh shit, it could have been a Saturday, or it could have been, you know um.

Speaker 3:All we need is one you see what he trying to do. Tangerine tits gotta go.
Speaker 1:Motherfucker trying to do a third term. Jesus Christ, I hope that shit not gonna come.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's wild, I swear on everything.
Speaker 1:So you never dined and dashed Never.
Speaker 3:No five finger discount either. Wow, nothing. Yeah, good for you. I'm a little coward. She said she's a coward. I'm scared.
Speaker 2:Never crossed her mind Never.
Speaker 3:She said not because I have morals it's mean I feel like I might have, like you know, slipped something in my pocket on accident and then walked out and I'm like, oh my god, did you turn around and pay for it? No, never, so okay unintentionally, unintentionally, but never dine and dash because your hands were full right. Yes, it was just a lot.
Speaker 2:I believe it.
Speaker 1:You dine and dash with your hands full, you dine and dash with your hands full, what you dine and dash with your hands full.
Speaker 3:So I have a question If you do dine and dash, do you go back to that same restaurant after I have?
Speaker 2:Nene has, you're wild.
Speaker 3:Why do you do that? I have. But there's a long stretch of time before I go back.
Speaker 1:You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:So let me tell you about my drinking dash. Her picture on the wall yeah, they drew a mural. No, it's not, even it's not even that bad, but I'll tell you about the drinking dash.
Speaker 2:So what happened? She ran out on Parmesan Yo.
Speaker 3:Parmesan fries, yo Truffle fries, bitch Truffle fries, no. So what happened was the chick. She gave me a receipt.
Speaker 2:You know, whenever you start a story out with what had happened, some bullshit.
Speaker 3:Whatever, but it's the truth. She gave me a receipt, but the receipt it was already paid by someone else.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was the day I was with you so I didn't technically dine and dash. It was her receipt.
Speaker 4:She invited me out. I love the political.
Speaker 2:I love the political response right the way he backed out of this shit so smooth and it was on her right. She invited me out for a nice meal. I ordered my food. She told me spare no expense.
Speaker 3:Now your story is dramatic as fuck right now, because I don't even think we ate.
Speaker 2:We did, we just had drinks. At the bar. She was like oh, don't worry about it, I got it cause you know she's from the suburbs. And the bartender gave her her receipt and she was like oh, sean, don't you gotta use the bathroom?
Speaker 1:Oh, it was one of those.
Speaker 3:I said that I know I didn't say that. That's not how that shit went. She gave us the receipt already paid sign, like it was a receipt of oh, your shit's done. And I was like oh, so it's been paid.
Speaker 4:Okay, time to go. She said, oh they comped their drinks. That sounds like God, so let's go.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so technically no question. Technically.
Speaker 4:That don't count.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying.
Speaker 2:So for me, I'm not liable for anything, because I paid for the drinks she brought me there. She ordered for me. She was the perfect date. She is a real man. She held my door. She pulled my chair out at the bar.
Speaker 3:Chivalry is not dead. Love that hey yo. Oh, you get on my nerve.
Speaker 1:Hey yo.
Speaker 4:Jesus.
Speaker 1:I've had times where I was given the wrong bill.
Speaker 3:Because his story already started off with bullshit.
Speaker 1:I spent like $200 in food and I got a bill back for like $80. And I was like I'm going to go ahead and pay for this and get the fuck out of here. I'll put a nice tip on there. I'll put like $15. That's nice to me $15.
Speaker 3:$15 for a $200 bill.
Speaker 1:The receipt said $80. Not even 10%. That's more than 10%.
Speaker 2:No it's not For a $200 bill. It'll be $20.
Speaker 1:$80. $80 bill. I was planning to spend $200, but I was like you know. I got an $80 bill.
Speaker 3:I'll give him a little boost in his tip and I'm out of here. You know what happened there. Somebody there was having a real good day, or they were busy and just missed it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, probably got somebody fired.
Speaker 3:When I was working. I used to work at my uncle's restaurant. It was busy, just people coming and going and I'm by myself, right, and so I'm'm there, give this guy his food, I leave, come back. I'm like did you pay? He paused for a second he looked at me. He's like, yeah, I'm like you paid. He's like, yeah, I'm like you know what, go ahead. That man walked out with $80 worth of food it was good food at that restaurant too yo did your uncle beat you?
Speaker 3:he did not. He, no doubt, like y'all, got me out here. That's crazy With the mob.
Speaker 2:She was like Not child labor laws, yo fool.
Speaker 3:But y'all don't go fool, it's banging, though, yeah.
Speaker 1:I never had it.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:I was better.
Speaker 2:Do better, guys, you never share with him.
Speaker 1:Nah, you didn't share with him. Don't share shit with me, he lying, he lying.
Speaker 3:You learn early. He be lying. Yeah, it he lying. You learn early he be lying.
Speaker 2:It's like that $80 bill.
Speaker 3:I mean, sometimes lying is necessary sometimes it is necessary.
Speaker 1:Alright, what else? What's next?
Speaker 2:so yo, I'll bring you out of the church in a second. So in Salt Lake City, sir, you gotta go to church to bring somebody to church Look. So in Salt Lake City, a lot of murals that honor black individuals like George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter one, where their lives have been taken. They have been being torn down. So the city is stating that the buildings were structurally unsound, of course, and contained hazardous materials. So why are you building a mural with hazardous materials and it's structurally unsound?
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:It's not like these are murals that have been around for like freaking ever.
Speaker 3:These things are very recent, yeah, relevant to them, so they didn't know that before. Correct Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, are very recent, yeah, so relevant. They didn't know that before. Correct, right, yeah, um. So there's been like a public outcry right now about the um murals because it's pretty much just like in their. It's like a call for justice, because it's like why are you tearing these down?
Speaker 3:in a lot of states we're finding that have been like um, getting rid of a lot of the Black Lives Matter, but I don't even think it's all, because if you look at the actual pictures when it scrolls by of the murals, it's not all just black people, not that one picture I saw that motherfucker ain't black that is so what out of 18,000 is like?
Speaker 1:it ain't black.
Speaker 2:She don't know nothing about they jeans.
Speaker 1:He look like a good old boy with a comb over.
Speaker 2:The picture is not even in full color.
Speaker 1:He do look like a.
Speaker 2:I know Y'all know black people with good hair. Don't do that. Don't do that, go look back. You know, when you was a young lad, you had good hair Nene.
Speaker 3:Since when I still got good hair. You see what I'm saying? That is not Negros, that is not Negros. That is not Negros. Hey, yo, what? You say Nothing. No, I heard you. You disrespectful as hell. That's how I'm about to turn you in. It doesn't say okay. It does say black individuals, yes, but I think everybody there was killed by police.
Speaker 2:So it's like a you know, Every black person doesn't come in the same shade that motherfucker look like he was Elvis Presley.
Speaker 3:He is not negrous.
Speaker 1:That last one. I think they put that in there just to spike motherfuckers. I told people off.
Speaker 2:Did you say for DI? That's crazy.
Speaker 3:That last picture? Yeah, he was not lecherous.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I got to comb over him why y'all didn't took somebody's.
Speaker 3:How you just kicked them out of the group. No, because every time that picture popped by. I just I don't know, I think they're trying to be funny.
Speaker 1:I don't like it.
Speaker 3:I don't even think he was a part of that.
Speaker 2:They just threw it in there I've. I don't even think he was a part of that Did you see all of them. Yes, you know which one I'm talking about. You cannot determine someone's race and ethnicity. Nah dawg, Nah dawg.
Speaker 1:We got rosy cheeks in that picture. Nah dawg. We ain't talking about those cheeks, sir.
Speaker 4:Oh, dog, we ain't talking about those cheeks son. Oh shit, shit it's all three of you hey y'all.
Speaker 3:I'll be trying to bring it around. That's a white man. Thank you, he is not that gross.
Speaker 2:I hope whoever the family of that man is. I hope y'all reach out and meet him Yo please.
Speaker 1:So he got 1% black Nah bro, he's black.
Speaker 2:That's horrible. Did you say step black? This is an outrage.
Speaker 3:You know his family black, don't you not? This is an outrage. You know his family black, don't you not? This?
Speaker 2:is an outrage. He was adopted.
Speaker 3:He was adopted, so he step black.
Speaker 1:Motherfucker says step black.
Speaker 4:Hey no.
Speaker 1:Hell, no, no, step, black that's horrible, holy shit.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying. But, no, I think it's messed up that they breaking that shit down.
Speaker 1:Holy shit I'm just saying, but no, I think it's messed up that they're breaking that shit down.
Speaker 3:Holy shit, they only doing that because of tangerine tips, because nobody was thinking about it. Nothing was ever brought up. It's been up for so long and now, all of a sudden, y'all decide that it's wrong If they're saying it's structural integrity or whatever hazardous materials, then they can make some other kind of like. If they don't do that then we know, we already know what it is, absolutely. But he ain't negros.
Speaker 2:That black girl.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, anyway, you know, I did not know that was spice, that's why it's so funny I don't think spice knew that she had a near-death experience that's why it's hilarious.
Speaker 1:Yo, that was hilarious, oh my God she just said.
Speaker 2:I'm going to get in on every market Yo, for real, yeah, and get my money where I can get it, and why not get it from the gospel, the gospel, the gospel. Yeah, instead of just doing all secular music.
Speaker 3:I mean, if you look at majority of the artists, though, they all do that. Bro, did you say succular, don't play with Jesus? I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:Don't play with Jesus, don't play with.
Speaker 3:Jamal, don't play with Jesus.
Speaker 1:Wait, did I pronounce it wrong?
Speaker 3:And don't play with.
Speaker 1:Dolly.
Speaker 2:Parton Did I pronounce it wrong. It's secular, secular, okay got you.
Speaker 3:He knew that.
Speaker 2:He. What's wrong Dilla? It's secular, secular. Okay, gotcha, you knew that. He knew that he the type to leave his kids at McDonald's to go to a job, at least I check on them, at least I check on them.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, come back two, three times.
Speaker 3:Blow a back out. Maybe get his back blown out you never know. No, I agree with a lot of people.
Speaker 1:Yo.
Speaker 2:Pussies, you know what.
Speaker 4:I mean.
Speaker 2:No, mm-mm, no yeah.
Speaker 3:Jesus, all right. So I remember when Raven-Symoné had came out with that whole thing, where she was like she's not-.
Speaker 2:Black African-American.
Speaker 3:African-American, not black.
Speaker 2:She did not say she wasn't black.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she said African-American.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 3:And everybody went in an uproar over that and I completely agreed with her because I see that, because technically we are not African American, we were born here.
Speaker 1:We're American.
Speaker 3:Exactly, we're Americans. People who come from Africa get a citizenship here. They're African American, correct, and that's the problem that we have okay, what?
Speaker 1:what about? What about raven some more?
Speaker 2:no, that's that, so she was she did an interview something different. She did an interview and she was breaking down what she meant.
Speaker 3:Oh, gotcha somebody who actually would like. Uh, went in on her one of the. What was he like? A content creator, whatever who her?
Speaker 2:fucking name is that? Whatever, who the fuck his name is?
Speaker 3:Caucasian. He's messy. What's his name? Jason?
Speaker 2:Oh, jason, jason Lee.
Speaker 3:Yes, he apologized for basically berating her about what she said until he fully understood what she meant by that, got it, got it.
Speaker 1:There's audio.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's audio. She was breaking it down for him on. How Wait, it is audio. She was breaking it down for him on how Wait a minute, you get on my nerves.
Speaker 2:Wait what she was breaking down, exactly what she meant by she's not African American. She wasn't denying her blackness. Right Gotcha Right, correct. Okay, say about me that interview you did with Oprah where she asked you if you were, you know, african-american or whatever.
Speaker 7:You got mad at me Listen. I am not an African-American, I'm an American. I am a black American, I am definitely black and, yes, my ancestors come from Africa. How long does a bloodline have to live in one land before they are considered a pure species of that land? Meaning, how long did my people have to be in America? To say hey we're American Compared to some people who are English American, who are Irish American, who are German American from their ancestors, but they get to call themselves American.
Speaker 7:There's nothing wrong with being African American, but a true African American is someone that is from Africa and moved here, either first generation or second generation, and has a tie to that country that I do not have. One of the first census in Virginia that allowed for black people to have a name was somebody from my family, so that means they were there long before. I think there comes a point where, when you build a country, when you fight for freedom, make money and pay taxes and generationally live in a country, you have the privilege to call yourself pure American.
Speaker 3:There you go. The Eagles was a bit much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're pandering at that point. Privilege to call yourself pure American. There you go.
Speaker 3:The eagles was a bit much, they're pandering at that point, but like she's making sense though, because these white people we're pure American. No, the fuck, y'all not.
Speaker 2:No one says European, american.
Speaker 3:Right, y'all ran from your ancestors ran not, they came over here on this discovery shit. They ran because they didn't want to abide by what the fuck was going on over there in europe so y'all came over here on some bullshit and all of a sudden y'all pure get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we can't be but it just it surprises me, it doesn't surprise me. Most of the outrage came from black people yeah.
Speaker 1:Because, I don't think that they fully comprehend what she was actually saying, but that's the problem right there.
Speaker 3:Comprehension Nobody's listening. You just run off of the first thing. You heard that she said she's not African American. That's usually how it goes, and mainly because she light skinned. So now they really, really attack that part. And her wife is white, thank you. So that went, that's what. And she's gay, yep.
Speaker 1:Oh, she got all kinds of things working against her.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so that was the whole thing about it. It was just ridiculous, ridonculous.
Speaker 2:I was about to say ridonculous. That's crazy.
Speaker 3:Not in a way, man, I hear about this a lot, not a little way, man, I hear about this a lot. They talk about it a lot on tiktok, especially like there's like this specific subset of black people who black american that's how I grew up calling them, because my family is jamaican- so we're west indian, I'm an american. Some of the jamaicans don't even really think I'm jamaican for real right, but when I think about like black americans and me, it's two very different experiences people who are descendants of slavery, who have built a life here, who have built america.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't have any, you know. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't consider this themselves american. You know what I mean exactly that like I had, uh um, at my job, one of the supervisors or whatever came up to me to ask about something, but he started off by saying he was like shut the fuck up. He was like you're black right and I'm like no.
Speaker 2:And he was like oh, you should have said go man, Go man.
Speaker 3:Yo get out of here. So then he was like, oh, you should have said go my knee, yo get out of here. So then he was like well, you're African-American, right? And I was like no, and he looked at me like bitch, what the fuck is you then? And I was like I'm a lady boy. I should have said that that probably would have fucked his ass up, but I was like I'm American. And he was like, oh well, and proceeds to talk about some shit that had to do with black people. But no, sir, of course it was a Caucasian man. Like that's stupid to me.
Speaker 3:I think people were just taking the name as it was, like when you think African American, like for me at least, like I didn't necessarily assume that there were connections to Africa, it was just the name you know. So now, like people are woke, now you know, and people are looking at the name in the actual context of it, and it's like I have no ties to Africa, right, like I'm so far removed from that. It was stolen from me and my ancestors. And then you have to think about the fact that it was Indians, Like Native Americans was here, they got slaughtered this is stolen land they got slaughtered.
Speaker 3:Some of us could just be Native American. We don't have to have been from Africa.
Speaker 4:I'm actually Native.
Speaker 3:American, our ancestors.
Speaker 2:Our ancestors no.
Speaker 4:We traced our Chief Red Cheeks.
Speaker 2:And I'm from the Slap-A-Hole tribe hey yo Because you're going to slap a hole. I'm from the hey yo Cause you gonna slap a hoe. I'm from the slap a hoe tribe. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:But it's just like.
Speaker 1:Alright chief.
Speaker 3:It's just so many things that just needs to be wiped out.
Speaker 2:I just think that it's another way To continue to segregate us. Exactly and put us into separate boxes, correct, and it's like why are we still doing this exactly?
Speaker 3:I thought obama would have changed that when he was I always wanted to start a petition to get rid of that whole group thing that's my accent, that's my american accent yeah, like that needs to go. I might have an unpopular opinion, though, because, like, I think why this is such an issue is because I feel like that people are yeah, like people are imposing their beliefs on other people.
Speaker 3:Like for me to say that you're black, so you're african. Like a lot of people don't feel that way. Right what I mean? Like you're black american, I'm west indian american. We're both black, but the experience we have living in America is two totally different experiences. That's my point. I feel like if you're just American, you were born and raised in America, you're American. If you were born somewhere else, that's what you are. But even for me, I'm American, I was born here.
Speaker 7:I know, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:So it's like you don't check that off, because I know a lot of Jamaicans, west Indian people. They will not even say that they're black. Yep they're. Jamaican, they're Jamaican my mother would.
Speaker 1:My mother is all the way Asian, you can't tell so it's like why is what is black?
Speaker 2:what is black?
Speaker 3:exactly. So why is it there? Yeah, it's very deep and I think it's touchy, you know, because of the history behind it. You know, jamaicans they don't. I feel like I can only speak for that, because that's, you know, what I'm used to. But they don't have to, um, they don't have to call themselves black, because where they come from, everybody's black.
Speaker 3:You know, what I mean. And so when you come here and then, especially when they're talking to other like black americans, they're like oh, I'm not black, I'm. And so when you come here and then, especially when they're talking to other like black americans, they're like oh, I'm not black, I'm jamaican. You looking at them crazy because it's like what do you mean? You're not black. Like you are black, right, but they make sense, though, with what they're saying. That's because I've heard that so many times when people be talking. I have a friend and she'd be like I'm jamaican, I'm not black and I'm like you, right, you are Jamaican. The color doesn't exist. Like it doesn't make any sense. Like you're Jamaican, I'm American, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Like I get that why she point at me and you didn't know what to say. She was like uh, this motherfucker over there, we still trying to figure out who you are. I'm still Beijing blocks and shit.
Speaker 2:She's like you're Jamaican, you're black, you're McDonald's.
Speaker 1:Find an interview nigga.
Speaker 3:And then this was crazy. What comes into play is like everybody has ancestors from different areas. Like me and Shawnee, we have West Indian in our family. Oh, you got West Indian in you, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that, anyway, so Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I didn't know that, anyway, so we're going to move past that. No, no, I really didn't know that. You, I didn't know you was part of.
Speaker 3:Why? Because we related. Why wouldn't you think that?
Speaker 1:I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know y'all was related. So you know what, sir, I can't? Oh, so you Jamaican too? Then yes, no, technically, so that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I would not say that I'm Jamaican, but that's what I'm asking.
Speaker 1:Like what West Indian descent are you? Well, our family.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we have our family Got you, just like. Your family is from Barbados, but you weren't born in Barbados.
Speaker 1:Got you, got you. I see what you're saying. Yeah, all right, my bad Go ahead.
Speaker 2:No, that's the point I was making, Got you got you, he was born in the back of a yogurt store. That sounds funny. I'm part Sherbert, eat your body, he's sweet frog. Yeah for a delicious actually.
Speaker 3:I could go for some sweet frog right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that I could go for some sweet frog right now. That sounds good. You got a husband.
Speaker 3:Leave me alone. Anybody said I wanted you, she just called me sweet frog. I was talking about the real sweet frog. Don't worry about it, baby, I don't want none of that.
Speaker 2:Put your lily pad away.
Speaker 1:I got two of them. Which one are you talking about?
Speaker 3:Why you got two. I'm scared, let me be me so scared.
Speaker 1:What's next.
Speaker 3:So let's get into the topic of why we have a guest today.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, finally, let's go. I feel like this topic will get deep.
Speaker 3:Let's go. I feel like this topic is going to get deep, so today we are dealing with millennials versus Gen Z Right and, according to whoever created this bullshit list, I'm not even a fucking millennial, so I'm a little pissed about it You're a baby boomer, right. Bitch, I'm a beat your ass, I'm a Gen X.
Speaker 1:She a Gen A.
Speaker 2:Shut up, she's Genesis. Yeah, for real. Tap the one verse Tap, the book of the beginning. Verse two In the beginning. God made me.
Speaker 3:Hello world, If he had a baby first, a whole lot of shit would have went different, everybody would be dying in the nation right now as lady boys.
Speaker 4:Turn your mic off. Okay, too much.
Speaker 2:Too much Too much All right.
Speaker 3:So technically this is between Mr Sean A and Ashanti, and Ashanti is a Gen Z-er Correct. So the discussion is who is the better generation?
Speaker 1:We made Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3:Now I have to ask better, by what measure?
Speaker 1:Are we talking about music? Yeah, what's the matrix? I mean, we Metric, metric.
Speaker 3:So well off of how he's talking they lost. Education.
Speaker 1:Well, yes, I lost, lost definitely that battle.
Speaker 3:I don't know, because I feel like y'all, education is a little we set the standard for the education y'all got but they switched it up, and is that a good thing?
Speaker 1:it might not be. That's what I'm saying. It might got worse for y'all do you ever?
Speaker 3:because if you look at like how our kids work, went right. So all my kids are basically Gen Zs and they'd be like, oh, mommy, help me with this. And you're looking at it like what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1:The way they do math.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the math is crazy.
Speaker 1:First of all, they don't even come home with homework anymore.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's wild. They don't have paperwork at all.
Speaker 1:That is wild. They don't have paperwork at all. That is wild. Everything's online, yeah. So like I'm pissed because I'm like yo, where's your homework? I don't have any. Like fuck you do. I know you got homework, they do, I just don't ever see it.
Speaker 2:It's fucking crazy, yeah, but like I've seen, like some of their math and the way that they do their math right Now being taught of how to do their math and I'm like how?
Speaker 3:do you do your math To be fair, and that's exactly the point I was going to make, because you kind of got the best of both, right, yeah, but that's the thing. Right is that and I made this point earlier early Gen Z, like 1997, to like being generous, like 2003, 2004 is so different from like 2005 going on. I don't know how to do that shit. I don't know what. They changed the methods and the process.
Speaker 2:I don't know what that's about.
Speaker 3:But when I think about why Gen Z would be better, my argument okay.
Speaker 1:Let's hear it.
Speaker 3:Being fair, right, because you know what Gen Z be better. My argument, okay, let's hear it. Being fair right, because you know what Gen Z. We're humble, you know, and I can give credit where credit is due. Yeah, I got the music. Okay, yeah, I got the movies. Yeah, I got the film. Yeah, I got the television. But when I think about, like, where society is headed as far as like technology is going, our generation was like we grew up with the change in technology you know what I mean like when I was going through school, that's like I did have the best of both worlds.
Speaker 3:So I had, um, you know, the projectors and right, all that stuff right, but then I also had the tablets and laptops and everything by the time I was leaving school. It was kind of transitioning into like a fully online type of thing. Yeah, you know, and if you think about like where society is headed as far as technology goes, like if you're not tech savvy, you're at a disadvantage. You know what I?
Speaker 3:mean. And so these kids these days, like even you, look at Gen Alpha right, that's like my little brother's generation, the psychopath generation. The little man man. His favorite color might be three, but he know how to use the time. So it's like I don't know, like that's what I'm saying, like there's different, like y'all got it. Y'all got it in a lot of ways and I think that we're we are the way we are because of the generation.
Speaker 1:Yeah I was gonna say, like we, we, we like to pride ourselves to be the golden era. That's what they kind of deemed us as, like the hip-hop stuff. Like we, we took the originals and found a new way to to create music, to make it new type of things, and we kind of set the standards for what the future might look like. So the apple, the first iphone, the ipods well, we had this first cell phone phone, cell phone, the beeper from the beeper, the car phone and the computer type of shit. Like we lived in the era where all of that was created. So we had to kind of I heard you say you kind of grew up with it, but we had to learn it and grow up with it.
Speaker 3:So I kind of see what you're saying but the plus side of that, why I feel like millennials, is probably but I can't type for shit. Well, that just depends on what you tried to perfect because I could type my ass off I couldn't
Speaker 3:type for shit, my mother made me sit and take this freaking typing program, so that's how I learned how to type. But I feel like, when you think about it, we have millennials. Well, technically I'm not a millennial, but I'm a millennial. We have the best of the both worlds because, if you think about it, when technology fails, that's that baby. Her memory went she was like that's that, janette. Anyway, when we think about it, when technology fails, we know what to do with that technology.
Speaker 1:Yes, Everybody else I don't need to calculate it. Pass, yes, everybody else past?
Speaker 3:that will lose their fucking minds. Phone numbers, what are those? Right, exactly, yeah, like you know. So.
Speaker 2:Because we know how to read a map. Yes, we sure do. We know how to look up someone in a telephone book Listen. They don't even know what telephone books are.
Speaker 1:The yellow pages and the white pages. Dog Exactly the yellow pages. Don't even know what telephone books are the yellow pages and the white pages, dog, we were the original investigators because we didn't have an internet in the beginning.
Speaker 3:It came later so we had to find out stuff.
Speaker 1:We was forced to research. We was forced to research what Library?
Speaker 2:What A card catalog? What Library? Yes, a card catalog.
Speaker 3:I mean, look Microfiche At the freaking library.
Speaker 2:It's crazy you know what the fuck.
Speaker 3:What the fuck was that? That sounds like some Gen Z-ers don't say it, it does.
Speaker 1:I don't forget what I was about to say. I should throw shit up.
Speaker 2:That shit threw me off. But I think we're very similar, like how you just said, ashanti, like you got the best of both worlds based on like we had the same you know similar experience.
Speaker 3:Even experience, even when I was thinking about like the movies and the shows and the music I'm like most of the stuff like that you would say is millennial we also grew up with yeah, you know what I mean. Like I'm thinking like all right, like for my generation, like that's a raven, like the disney sitcoms, the, the nickelodeon show, right, but you know about duck tales right see.
Speaker 3:See, that's a little bit before my time, you know duck tails, that's like real early, early 90s. Oh yeah, you know, and, unless you like, actively saw out those shows like you're not right. Yeah, you know, because the, the revamp version of that is so cringe, yeah garbage.
Speaker 1:But this is what I, this is what I was going to say, I I think the biggest difference between the two generations is, I want to say, parenting. To a degree, I think you guys, generation, are seemingly a better generation on how to look at parenting than we were.
Speaker 7:Y'all, y'all I don't agree with that.
Speaker 1:No, I'm saying no, I'm saying y'all y'all get a little, y'all provide a little bit more understanding. I ain't talking like the late part of the generation I'm talking about, like the 97's, to what she was saying, like 2003. They kind of look at the child and reason they're trying to figure out reason it's not straight, the punishment I feel like their era is the real and reason they're trying to figure out. Reason it's not straight. We're more tolerant. Yeah, it's not straight to punishment, it's not straight.
Speaker 3:I feel like their era is the real reason why the soft era of these kids happen. You talking about gentle parenting yes, but that's what I'm alluding to.
Speaker 1:Really, I don't think that's better, I'm just saying like they kind of made it to a place where it's not always straight punishment, negative reinforcement, but that started with the millennials, I feel like because of what we went through.
Speaker 2:Some of them. I'm not going to say all, and that's just for everybody.
Speaker 3:It's not all. I think. A majority, though, have realized like I don't want to put my kid through what that for me as a parent. I went through some bullshit as being parented. So when it came to my kids, I still say I have faults and every parent does, because nobody, there's no fucking manual on parenting. Right, right, right as much as these bitches who want to write books and shit, who only have kids want to talk about fucking parents and they don't know shit, until you're actually a parent.
Speaker 1:How many?
Speaker 6:books you done read. That pissed you off. She's like these motherfuckers ain't ain't books.
Speaker 3:But I'm just saying like it comes to a point where you realize like what I say, because you know yourself as a human being, you have faults, you have your own issues. So you look at your kid and be like, well, we can talk. Yeah, you still punish them, but it's not like how we got our ass whooped when we was younger. We still probably had to put our paws on our kids, but not as aggressively as our parents did to us, and we, we kind of did the collective um you got punishment and we talked about why you got that punishment.
Speaker 3:So it made it comfortable for you to come to talk to me about stuff Without me having to like berate you and tell you shit is. You can't do it that way, because this is how life is.
Speaker 7:No that's not how it goes.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying I will say from a Gen Z perspective when it comes to that right, because my mom is very much the same way, like she will say. You know, there are certain things that I did differently because of the way I was raised right.
Speaker 3:And you know that is true, I think you guys do the best you can. But I think I had a conversation with her one time. We were kind of going at it right, just not agreeing on certain things, kind of button heads, and we had a conversation and she said something to me that really like was a light bulb moment. She was like I raised you the way I was raised, as much as she tried to do things like she raised us in the same way.
Speaker 1:Um, her parents raised her, which is no fault of her own, like that's what she knows, right, that's what she knows, but the world is not the same as it was correct right so I think, like with gen z and like gentle, I think there are two extremes right.
Speaker 3:So some people take it to the far extreme where it's like all right, like there's no discipline, you're just free reign but. I think for me, when I think about being a parent and raising my children, it's preparing them for what the world may look like or like being able to handle the changes of the world may look like, or like being able to handle the changes of the world Like I don't expect for them to act the way I acted when I was a kid.
Speaker 2:You know what?
Speaker 3:I mean, and I think that you couldn't have had the foresight to see that the world was going to be what it was like now. So when your kids are talking back to you or like challenging you on certain things, like the first instinct is to take it as disrespect because that's what your parents would have done. You know what I mean and so that's where I find a lot of the conflict is is because, like Gen Z, I think we're a little bit more tolerant on certain things. We're a little bit more like people would call it sensitive.
Speaker 3:I don't think it's sensitive, you know it can be, you know, depending on who you're asking kids, never talk back now.
Speaker 2:timmy is just expressing himself like that was my thing.
Speaker 3:So I wouldn't really know that, because my kids really never talk back to me like my daughter was. Like mommy, can I ask you a question? Or it'll make sense yes, me, and I would say, uh, one of my daughters definitely kind of butt heads, but it's only because I realized that me and her are one in the same and so sometimes you have to look at things like this bitch is me, it be the you and your kids that you go at it with.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3:Exactly. And then I think for some people it's a level of maturity or realization in knowing that I'm fighting myself. I'm fighting myself because I don't want to acknowledge that that's me. Yeah, and acknowledging that that's you is probably the hardest part that parents have to fucking deal with and I think some of them will look past that, and that's why you get that. Um, no bitch. This is how it is, because I said so.
Speaker 3:Instead of just be like you know what, let me hear what you're saying, because you you know, that's what it is, and I had that realization with my daughter Because, like my oldest daughter I didn't have that problem with. She never gave me no issues. The young one we butt heads like a motherfucker.
Speaker 2:That's the one you had through the bathroom window.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, the refrigerator door.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 6:But, like.
Speaker 1:The refrigerator door, yeah, but like there you go. She ain't no millennial, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2:Fucking refrigerator door. She's definitely a boomer.
Speaker 3:Get out of here, you'll pick your refrigerator door but dealing with her, I had to come to the realization like, oh, I am really dealing with myself right here, and so that took a lot of yeah. And I find that a lot of millennials learn that later on in life. Right, they learn it from their Gen Z kids who are telling them like yo, you had me fucked up For you, it was just a random Tuesday. But these are things that stick with me, right, not telling you this to make you feel bad or like disrespect you, but I'm being honest with you. Right, if I can't be honest with the person that birthed me, then who else can I be honest?
Speaker 3:with because you're raising adults. You have to realize you're raising adults and and people have questions. So for you to be questioned, allow that question, don't get offended yeah and that's what the boomer generation yeah, they will get offended easy. Who?
Speaker 2:the fuck is you talking to? But? I think that comes because the way they were raised. So now, with the generation before them, you got to think of what time they actually and they're out of slavery right. So there a certain Mentality that they had when respect is concerned, and so that's how they raised our parents, and so our parents was like.
Speaker 3:Isn't respect so subjective?
Speaker 4:It really is.
Speaker 3:This can is red and you say it's purple.
Speaker 2:Don't talk back to me.
Speaker 3:And it's like we just have a difference of opinion. It's nothing personal, it's nothing against, and it's like we just have a difference of opinion. It's not impersonal, it's nothing against you I just don't believe it, and that's exactly what it is. It's always a difference of opinion, and that's the problem in America.
Speaker 1:Way to wrap it up. I like that. I like that. It felt like I needed a theme song to go with it, like this is America, jesus Christ. But yeah, alright, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2:I like it and can I just say I don't like none of y'all anyway, and you know what I respect your opinion when you go out like say, like remember when we used to like frequent the mall and stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm like I hated the kids, that generation. Yeah, that's how I know.
Speaker 2:I'm getting old. Yes, because I can't do it.
Speaker 3:The disrespect that they have for adults is ridiculous and it makes you think like damn, was we like that when we was younger.
Speaker 1:I just had that happen to me. The other day. I was at the mall and I was sitting in the food court and I can't believe there's still food courts there, because the mall is halfway empty and there's no stores, so I don't even know why there was a bushel of kids, a bushel, a bushel of kids, a bushel, a bushel of kids in front of me in line and it was like the and they're young and I'm just sitting there like ooh shit, I was waiting for one of them to say something, but I was just standing there like they're going to call you Unc.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one of those. I get called Unc all the time. So I'm standing there like if this was my generation. Back then, when I was young, I would probably say some shit, but they was just chill, like they don't. They don't looks like they just mind their business and just do what they do Sometimes.
Speaker 2:Sometimes I feel like our generation was raised out of fear. Yeah, I feel like they don't have any fear.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they don't give a fuck. And that was all I was thinking. Let one of these little motherfuckers pop off. It's on. They do not give a fuck.
Speaker 3:That's why I say I don't discriminate at all, because I will beat the shit out of somebody's kid. I'm just putting it out there. If they want to step to me on some bullshit, I will beat the shit out of somebody's kid. Somebody call 911.
Speaker 1:What are they called? You disagree. You call 911. What are they called? I can't disagree. Is this Jen? I can't disagree. This is the Jen's after Jen Z. No, he's Jen Z.
Speaker 3:No, he's Jen Z he's.
Speaker 4:Jen.
Speaker 3:Z, but after Jen Z is a Jen Alpha.
Speaker 1:Jen Alpha.
Speaker 3:So let's just put him as so like my nephew, my young, young nephew is like a Jen Alpha Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:And these names.
Speaker 3:I don't know. Somebody be bored. They ain't got shit to do all day they're making it up. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:We'll take the nod. We'll take the nod, pump up the jam.
Speaker 7:Pump up the jam for the millennials, let's do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, millennials, we respect the Gen Z's. I don't. You know, it's good to have conversations with y'all.
Speaker 3:I'm okay with the Gen Z era. You better Everything after that. I don't know. I like having conversations.
Speaker 1:It's the fact that we can have conversations with you guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And to kind of get y'all perspectives on things so we can understand a better way to communicate Right, to kind of get y'all perspectives on things like so we can understand a better way to communicate.
Speaker 3:I think the communication with us and the baby boomers is like not exist. So really no, it's like serious.
Speaker 4:They are stuck in a lost cause.
Speaker 3:Yes, Damn no accountability. And if you tell them and they know you're right, they don't care. I love the fact that we switch it around on you Like, oh how dare you talk to me like that. When I've raised you for some Bitch, I'll smack the shit out you right now.
Speaker 2:You're wild.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I worry about these Gen Alphas, though, because they don't like to communicate.
Speaker 2:Those are the ones I don't like. I didn't mean the Gen Zs. I'm okay with the Gen Z's because they're stuck in their phones and social media and they believe that shit.
Speaker 3:That's what they're raised by.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. They believe what they see and is like trying to have a conversation with them, and they're raised by.
Speaker 3:McDonald's employees. I gotta give them grace too, because they're raised by who? Millennials and Gen.
Speaker 4:Z's, so it's like we gotta really reevaluate what we're doing to our kids.
Speaker 3:Man, the pandemic. That really messed a lot of people up, did it.
Speaker 1:I think it might have helped, you think so no, absolutely not. I think it shined a light on the thing. I think you're speaking for yourself. I think it shined a light on things that people wanted to keep quiet. I think it shined a light on things that people wanted to keep quiet.
Speaker 3:I don't think that did any good.
Speaker 1:I think it's better to get out and open and see that it's happening so people can address it, like the fact that they can't read Right, we have to address some of this shit. No shade, you know what I'm saying. If the pandemic never happened, then I think the cycle would kind of kept going the way it was going. I like the fact that it just shined light on a bunch of shit.
Speaker 3:I think I like that cycle better than this shit. That's just my personal opinion. I like things to be transparent. People would never be transparent. You can't take transparency from a lot of people.
Speaker 1:I know, but it allows me to address things the way it needs to be addressed honestly and purposefully. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:So that motherfucker jumped off a bridge because you was transparent with their ass. These niggas is not stable.
Speaker 2:I appreciated the pandemic because we had to stay away from each other. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 3:I hated that. I thoroughly enjoyed the pandemic.
Speaker 2:I enjoyed it. I hate to say it, I enjoyed it. I won't say like my introverted ass enjoyed it.
Speaker 1:Working from home is the best thing that ever happened.
Speaker 3:Being able to go outside disturbed me, because I like to be outside you like to frolic? Yeah, roll around in them, little trees, yeah I like nature, but not being able to Nobody Shut the fuck up, I just, I didn't.
Speaker 4:If.
Speaker 3:I didn't have stable Shut the fuck up. Stable support system with me. I think I probably would have been one of those people who lost their shit Because I didn't like it. I hated the pandemic. I did not like that shit. I so enjoyed it.
