What's up, guys? Happy Thursday. It's episode 174. Welcome back to the show. good evening this is gonna be a chill episode let me tell you that I'm in a fetal position on my yoga mat laptop in front of me headset on in my bedroom I got a LaCroix no excuse me this is called an aha to perk me up uh I'm not gonna lie guys I forgot to podcast today and it's like approaching midnight I've been on clubhouse listening to people pitch their businesses in this room for like the last I mean the room's been going on for six hours but I haven't been there for that long it's so entertaining I'm obsessed with clubhouse as you know um and I also feel like I have pressure on me because I got asked to go on stage today to

talk about my show and someone was like oh I'm looking forward to listening and I'm like oh fuck now I have to send it now I have to deliver the good content even though I'm tired of shit it was a long day of working um to be honest I have something cute up here to talk about like the theme today is going to be, Hey, I'm a millennial. And a lot of the things I do are not cool anymore. And I'm going to discover that with you guys today. So there's a list here. I'm going to go down and I'm going to check off if I still do these things. And I don't know, I haven't like assessed myself yet. I haven't done an audit of myself yet because there's this trend I'm seeing now on TikTok and all over the internet that basically Gen Z kids are

making fun of the older millennial generation and the things they do and I haven't really taken a look within so join me tonight as I get hip and stop doing these things okay or decide like I'm going to decide whether I'm going to continue doing these things with you guys we'll decide that or I'm going to decide, fuck it. I'm still into these things. I'm going to still do it. I don't care. Um, whatever. This is some like dumb thing on Buzzfeed or like, you know how I always go to Buzzfeed for content ideas. Yes. This is another episode brought to you by Buzzfeed. The title of this list is called, uh, Hey millennials, how many of these uncool things are you still doing according to Gen Z okay so here we go check off everything

that sounds like you okay number one you wear skinny jeans I still do I mean okay like how much am I going to go into each of these things how many uh there's like 20 I'm going to go down about 20 items on the list. I mean, I have a variety of jeans. I have like wide legged, they're like cut off Levi's. I have jeans with like slits on the side at the bottom. I don't know. I feel like I have a variety, but I still wear skinny jeans. So I have to answer that. Yes. Um, guys, are you having fun yet? This is so, it's just, it's very calm. This is very unlike, unlike me normally I'm going off going crazy and yeah so we're just hanging out this is like hey take a nap this is your just play this and take a nap okay so yes I wear skinny jeans next

thing on the list here uh by the way I'm 26 if that so I'm a millennial all right you wear your hair in a side part. Absolutely not. In fact, I used to think, so I wore a side part all through high school and then freshman year of college, I started wearing it down the middle, but I looked, I felt so ugly. Like do you girls listening? I know I have, what is it like 10% women listening? No, 15. I think it went up. Do you remember like getting ready for school and you'd do your hair and then you'd like part it in the middle just to see how it would look and you'd instantly feel like it made me feel so ugly to put it in the middle put my part down the middle and I don't know if it was like I feel like my face just needed the side part because

I had a really like chubby round face in high school compared to what it is now like I had that baby fat still on me and I feel like the side part looked better but nothing made me feel uglier than a middle part until like it's weird until college like I don't know what happened but I honestly think the Kardashians so I would watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians and I would I like studied their style and their hair and their makeup and everything and I noticed like all of them do it down the middle and I feel like they converted everyone because the side part the side part with the um little twist you would do like we used to braid our hair to the side in school like you'd braid your bangs and then clip it with a bobby pin on the side or you twist

it yeah i don't know like that all ended i feel like the kardashians killed that trend they like stopped it because lauren conrad was a side part chick and she did all the little wavy braids and cute things with her bangs and stuff so anyways um yeah for me like my tv shows my reality shows went, uh, the Hills. I never watched the OC and then keeping up the Kardashians and then gossip girl. Are they doing it on the side and gossip girl? Of course. Yeah. This is a, is this a girly episode? This is okay. Whatever. Um, but no, I don't wear in a side part now. Like sometimes I don't actually, the last time I wore my hair in a side part, I got body shamed for my hair. my I got hair shamed by a guy I was dating next or next thing on the list is this gonna tell me

like a score at the end it'll show I'll have results so I don't know what it's gonna say at the end so this is gonna be fun uh you use the laughing crying emoji yes how is that not cool what do Gen Z kids like how do you express like you say lol like or I use a lot of the laughing crying emojis and I use the skull like if it's super funny I do three laughing one drowning crying face what I just think of it like the sobbing crying the straight down tears and then like a not a bullet a fucking bullet what am I thinking a skull okay yes I still use that one all right next we got you've proudly showed off your Hogwarts house what these are all Harry Potter wait there's three Harry Potter questions next one is specifically you've probably showed

off the fact that you're a Hufflepuff never I'm not a Harry Potter nerd or you've probably showed off the fact that you're a Slytherin no none of those I I watched all the movies I was too intimidated to read the books as a kid they were too wide for me to uh like I'd read the first page and get I just get nervous and like intimidated by this the 400 pages or whatever and I like there was this nerd named Calvin in my class and he would read all of it he'd like read Harry Potter in one day and I didn't get it I was like how do you I I just felt super intimidated I couldn't do it I like picture books and I hate I just wasn't a big reader as a kid well no I was a I was a reader of like I read series of unfortunate events the magic treehouse

all the pony pals I just like I don't know Harry Potter wasn't my thing um okay anyways next one is you're obsessed with coffee how is that not why is that not cool okay yes I'm obsessed with coffee I don't shut up about it you love wine I don't I'm not one of those millennials that's like a wine chick I feel like I can tell when people always post about their rosé and their happy hour and their wine wine wine and like they're they're on a wine uh what's called tasting trip like I haven't done anything like that I mean yes I love wine so yes I have to answer this question that I do but it's not like part of my brand and who like how I I don't know um I'm gonna not answer that that I love wine okay and I know I've I've been

annoying about my whiskey consumption lately telling you guys that I like to sip whiskey just plain ass whiskey at night yeah I know um just listen to previous episodes if you're like what the fuck are you trying to be cool like there's a reason for it just go or are you just trying to be like one of the boys or you're just trying to be like that a whiskey bitch what kind of vibe does a whiskey drinking girl have like is it I don't care like that's the thing about me now this is the change I've made in it as an oh I can't use the word adult apparently that's not cool that's on the list here uh as a adult growing into who I am or coming into my own like I have zero like thought or worry or I don't consider like what will this

how will people perceive me if I like this or how will how will people perceive me if I do this how will people perceive me if I say this think this blah blah share this on my Instagram or talk about it on the podcast like I don't even think about it or worry about it anymore because I'm people's I I'm not a people pleaser I'm like stopping that whole issue I had in the past of living for other people and doing things because of other people it's just like I don't care uh anyways the next question is I need a drink of my aha oh shit it's dumping on the fucking mat Jimmy's peed on this mat like six times and I have to shower like I put it in the shower and like steam the hell out of it because it's it like

seeps into the pores of the yoga mat and then I shampoo it really good and I have to hang dry it I have all these backup yoga yoga mats thank god but he only likes the blue one when he whenever he pees on it it's whenever he pees on my yoga mat it's the blue one but anyways I'm drinking the aha lime watermelon shout out Kane for getting me on these Kane actually was in the DMs he's the one that said I should do a podcast and then within 10 minutes I started like he the the night I did my first podcast and haven't stopped since uh and I haven't stopped since he's the person and I have it screenshotted like I should frame the conversation who prompted it he's like the reason I consider doing it in the first place so and he got me on these lime watermelon aha

beverages it's like a LaCroix but I think they're they're way better okay next question is you love bacon uh yeah fuck yeah next question is you or it's not even a question thing on the list is uh you like rose gold I actually don't I've never really actually is my apple watch rose gold it is but it's not like super rose goldy I don't know how to explain it it's like a neutrally rose gold uh I remember when that started like back when I would watch YouTube beauty gurus they'd all show their favorites of the month or they'd do their hauls at like forever 21 and they'd get their they'd show their bracelets with like the rose gold bracelets they bought or the rose gold bag they got yeah it was always like a bag oh this is super cool this new trend with the rose gold on

the it'd be like a Rebecca Minkoff bag with rose gold uh hardware on it or whatever and it was like a thing for a long time and that was like during I'd say like oh nine to 2013 like freshman year of college and then I feel like it started fading but yeah I don't like rose gold even though my my Apple Watch is rose gold. It doesn't even look like it though. Um, next question is you're obsessed with pizza. I mean, yeah, I'm not like obsessed with it. I like it. If this said you're obsessed burritos, I would say yes. Um, the next one is you hate pineapple on pizza. Wait. So this is by the way just to refresh this is the uncool thing this is a list of uncool uncool things millennials do according to gen z so like i get the rose gold thing because i feel like that came

around like that's a very millennial uh trend it was like a yeah um but like obsessed with pizza like this is kind of stupid you or the next one is you hate pineapple and pizza not true i don't hate it I actually like it um so I'm gonna say I'm gonna skip all these so I'm not gonna click the rose gold one I'm not gonna say I'm obsessed with pizza I'm not gonna say I hate pineapple on pizza I'm not gonna say the next one is you've used the word doggo d-o-g-g-o you you I've told you guys no I don't call my puppy uh my pupper or my doggo I call him my dog or my puppy and I don't consider myself a dog mom like if I've said that before uh uh I just feel like I don't know I don't like corny stuff like that I don't use doggo so no I definitely have used the word

adulting next thing on the list you take your selfies from a high angle that's a millennial thing I guess because of my space sometimes not I'd say most of the time I and it makes no sense because I feel like this is like a double chin thing for most people. Well, it is for me, but there's like a way to take your photo from a low angle. I feel like I do a lot of them from the low angle. You kind of have to like, just, you have to know your angle. I don't know how to explain it, but I like the low angle selfie more. I think I look better in low angle selfies. I should look at my Instagram. Where's my phone at? We got high angle, high angle, high angle, low angle, low angle, high angle. You know what? I feel like that's like the blogger angle. Like millennial

blogger angle is the high angle, right? They do low, whatever. I'm going to say yeah, because I still like looking at my Instagram now I still do this is so dumb guys this is like I would normally spend a good 10 minutes there's a dog barking I would normally it's like I don't even know it's like a stray I would normally spend a good 10 minutes ranting about this putting my two cents into this list how dumb it is or like I would have more to say but again brain is fried I'm doing the best I can. I'm just trying to like see, I've, I've, I am seeing these for the first time. So I know that's an excuse as a, as a podcast. I usually bring it again. I'm feeling nervous because I have new people listening and you have to understand that, uh, not every day

is the Superbowl. Okay. I can't bring it. I can't, this is like, I'm a Broadway bitch. I'm doing a show every night and tonight I'm bombing I'm fucking failing uh did I say that the very beginning of podcasting that this feels like I'm on Broadway I think I did yeah I did because I was like I have a show every day every single day same thing I mean new content but it's like the same thing over and over and over and over again I've also said I feel like a radio host too because it's like a most of the time it's a morning show whatever okay next one uh sorry sorry oh what you look at the screen instead of the camera when you take a selfie what that's not cool I feel like everyone looks hotter when they do that yeah I do that I don't

like looking directly in the camera like some pictures I do like if I'm smiling I'm usually smiling looking directly in the camera but if I'm not smiling I'm looking at the screen it like makes your eyes look better I feel like it makes like let me look at my Instagram so so dumb like the fact they that like enough of this information has circulated like around Gen Z that it's become like an actual thing like they have had there's been enough content about looking like how uh millennials look at the screen instead of the camera that it's become like uncool or whatever like they're they're so so fucking it's so um what's it called like judgmental like this feel i feel judged for something so stupid okay whatever next one

as you said you've said so I did a thing in reference to an announcement or accomplishment absolutely not in fact I hate when people do that we did a thing we did the thing we're doing the thing it's corny don't do that I never say that so I did a thing like if I got Jimmy and posted like my puppy you know a picture of him for like the first day like a big reveal I did a thing don't do it there's two more this is quick okay and then I'll see my results um you've said some personal news in reference to an announcement or accomplishment you've said some personal news like oh I have some personal news to share with you guys today do I ever say that

if I have anything personal I don't even if it's like me usually I say I I it's a personal matter I can't discuss or like it's something um in my personal life like I usually refer to my personal life like because I usually like to be honest uh and I've said that on my like relationship episodes I've done that you guys won't know shit like I really don't want my relationships to be in the public eye like I don't want I I just want to have that like what did I say James Bond fucking uh Mr. and Mrs. Smith what did I fucking say like I want to be I want something awesome I want to have like an amazing relationship that's like nobody knows about it or it's like not all over social media like that's my worst nightmare like just I don't know well I don't know I just

I don't want to have like a bigger boyfriend reveal because then I have to I'll have to delete the picture if we break up or I'll have to like fucking I don't know um she's shady she doesn't want anyone to know she has a boyfriend because she's shady no I just like I share everything you know and I feel like my personal life should just be personal it should be for me and I don't want yeah I don't know it's like the one thing I could keep I don't know sacred because I've told you guys like way too much um okay so no I don't think I've said some personal news in reference to an announcement or accomplishment I really don't think I would say that I've said that I would say like oh big news or what I don't know

okay the last one is I need to move on sorry the last one is you've probably you probably you're probably going to feel personally attacked by the results of this buzzfeed quiz uh that's a very gen z thing to be like I feel like the gen z kids with well millennial oh fuck everyone now all the woke peeps out there would be personally feel personally attacked I don't take shit personal so no I don't I'm not that dramatic like I don't don't, I'm emotionally mature. Okay, show me the results. Here we go. You're Gen Z. I got, I'm Gen Z. You checked seven out of 20 on the list. Congrats on being young and hip. You checked more than 49% of quiz takers. Can your friends beat you? There's a picture of Charlie D'Amelio

on this Jesus Christ okay yeah I feel like um like what would I have clicked that maybe would have made me a millennial the wine thing the pizza thing the rose gold thing side part seven out of twenty that makes yeah I guess whatever it's kind of dumb let me just go and look here if there's anything else on the news or like shit to talk about seven people 17 people who got destroyed online in the most embarrassing way well I don't want to I don't actually read a bunch of text messages and shit um yeah there's so much I could talk about here I want to comment on um clubhouse for a minute because I feel like it's just my day-to-day now I'm on it 24-7 um like I'm just in these rooms with all the like I was in a room today with a bunch of

like 20 21 year old entrepreneurs and they're all talking shop talking about their businesses talking about their strategies and I'm just sitting there and I'm like these kids are so smart and rich and like doing big shit like how the I feel like they're um they're slick they're just slick and it's cool like it's cool I'm proud of them like I honestly like the girl in the room who's like the dumb blonde oh I'm a fake blonde I'm a brunette but like I know I'm like wow I'm this is cool like you can learn from the youth you can learn some shit from the youth um and it's just like wild how I think they're all surrounding themselves and they're all networking with people 10 miles above them you know they're in bed no they're not in bed

with they're like talking about the Grant Cardones of the world and how they've and the Gary V's or whatever and they're like in they're in cahoots with them they're in connections cahoots like such a that's a such a fucking it's not even a millennial uncool thing to say that's a cahoots is like a fucking boomer like old person thing to say but it's really neat like um I'm just a fly on the wall I'm just there actively listening in fact I got on stage I didn't say much but I'm like I just wanted to ask people like how much money do you have like what are you guys worth like who am i in the room like how do you all know each other like what's happening i'm like what the like i just want to be like are you guys rich rich like they're

like oh so yeah series a we raised 10 million or whatever the fuck and they're talking all these big words and they're saying shit like fucking i don't fucking know like proprietary and like white label and fucking I don't know it's it's cool again I'm just like stoked about the younger generation I mean I just kind of shit it on or I was I felt judged judged by that list the Gen Z list but um it's really about like who you know and who you surround yourself with and the conversations you have all the time and you'll just get you just fucking get better and better and better at what you're doing. And I think that's a area in my life that has been kind of weak. In fact, I was in the startup world and I think I like, like technically still am, but

one of my favorite parts of working for a startup company was the meetings with investors and the advisors and all the people that have like, you know, sold and exited their companies for hundreds of millions of dollars and they they had all the yeah like the slick sharp phrases that you and they said things like we as a small company like we would never have thought of but they've had the experience and they they know how to do it and there's something about like listening to clubhouse conversations now that's reminding me of working for that startup and it's like I know like yesterday's episode I just bitched about how boring corporate speak is and how a lot of these and these conversations are super dry and boring but um I'm a hypocrite uh

I was so negative yesterday it was insane like when I remember the episode I just like I don't know I sometimes I'm like I just want to have fun none of this shit matters and then sometimes I'm like I just want to take notes and learn from 21 year old entrepreneurs and play the game and and connect with people and and fucking grow and learn I don't know it's just fascinating it's like learning a language when you talk about business it's and we're talking so I was like stoked because it was also about investing so that's something I'm interested in right now like more than I'd say building a business like I'm not personally doing that but I mean I'm investing and so it's really fun when you sit

in the room and you're hearing people with a ton of experience talk about it and you yeah anyways so that's kind of my thoughts about these kids are so slick they just are so cool and I'm like what the fuck they're like on Instagram smoking cigars though which is kind of dumb they're like wearing trucker hats smoking cigars in Nashville with fucking necklaces on and they're like I don't know it's like a it's a how do I describe the crowd it's like the entrepreneur um venture capital like what are they called like yeah investor like it's especially in the LA like especially in this I'd say the Southern California world like that's where I've

had firsthand encounters with these kinds of people and it's just like a very it's kind of flashy and like it's like there's a lot of like it's dog eat dog though like one kid was getting roasted about owing someone money he was like getting cornered about it and he ended up getting so like attacked from an older dude who was like this is a gen z millennial conversation i'm like fucking he's like in his 40s he's like you're paying 25k or he was paying like two rents amounting to like well it wasn't 25k that was something else like like 10k a month and this older dude was roasting about like going after him about it and like holding him to the wall basically and i didn't even know it was just like

it's intense like I don't know whatever guys I'm so tired I don't even know what I'm saying I feel like I'm getting back into uh I mean it's all virtual but uh networking and making connections with people like I used to be around like it's such a small world like I've been to I've been to like there were three people on stage today that I was like oh I've met you at a like startup what's it called yeah startup event party thing here in San Diego I'm like oh small world and they're on stage with people from like all over the U.S. all these entrepreneurs and business people and I was like everyone it's And this clubhouse thing makes me feel like the net it's so like the world is

so small. Does anyone else feel like that? Like everyone knows everyone or like there's everyone has like a connection to, I don't know how to explain it. It's weird. Like I get into a room and I'm like, how the hell do all these people know each other? Like how have they all done business together? Like they don't seem like they go together, but they all do. Somehow it all connects. It's really cool. So, Oh yeah.

and something I learned was, um, everyone talks about contacts to contracts. My network is my net worth. Um, what are the other phrases they say? Like fucking, I don't know. They have all these like fun fucking phrases. I don't know. Um, all right, guys, I think that's it. I need get to bed um the big day tomorrow I think you could if anyone lasted this long uh this definitely is the calmest chillest most like relaxed episode I think I've ever done um I don't care I hope you enjoyed it I hope you're you can you can wake up you can wake up from your nap now hey wake up wake up I don't know like what's the point of listening to a podcast this chill like what would you do so is this the kind of episode you listen to on a day you're hungover

and you're like I'm hungover but I need to like wipe my countertops down and clean out my fridge really bad or like do my dishes and I just need something soothing to listen to instead of like Jacqueline being crazy like hey guys ranting and bitching about stuff all day like I normally do like this is a this is a hangover episode this is a nap time episode this is a I don't know whatever um anyways guys the weather has been so gorgeous here in San Diego and like I just it feels so good and it smells so good the birds are chirping when the grass around me has has just been mowed um I'm so excited for like well I guess summer I mean San Diego is always nice really most of the year it is but in the winter it gets cold at night and it it's been

kind of cloudy and shitty for I feel like most of February and January like that makes sense it's like winter but now it's really clear and bright and sunny and warm and I'm just like I can't wait to like, just be at the beach more and like, I don't know.
