Tim’s line of “their kids were there to support them emotionally and not the other way around” is so true to my and my friend’s experience
Exactly. Having to be a kid therapist to adults, and then being treated like crap after the therapy session is a crazy dynamic.
Mine too
Having kids is Always a selfish act it’s how you raise em that can make it selfless
yes!!!
Same here, my mother would drink and talk to me like I was her adult girlfriend. Telling me things a kid shouldn’t hear. I’m raising my kids so differently than I was raised its really strange. Gen X’ers grew up with almost NO parental supervision. It was fun but also really destructive.
George Carlin on Boomers:
Whiney, narcissistic, self-indulgent people, with a simple philosophy: “gimme-it it’s mine”! “give-me-that it’s mine”! These people were given everything. Everything was handed to them, and they took it all. Took it all. Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. And they stayed loaded for twenty years, and had a free ride, but now they’re staring down the barrel of middle-age burn-out, and they don’t like it. They don’t like it so they’ve turned self-righteous, and they want to make things hard on younger people.
Yep. I'm glad people are noticing this. They are the most whiny, arrogant, and spoiled generation in American history. They literally blamed Millennials for the 2009 banking crisis. We were in high school at the time. Boomers never take responsibility for anything.
I'm a huge fan of Carlin, but his daughter called him the "ultimate laissez faire parent" and was just as much of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll turned self righteous culture as the people he complained about.
I suppose the troll of Dillion's book is that a non-repentant-addicted-to-cocaine-sub-prime-mortgage-broker turned single man that drives a Bentley between his 5M+ estates in the Hamptons and Beverly Hills is complaining about the greed, excess, and selfishness of his parents generation.
Carlin was a boomer... And they aren't middle age, the youngest ones are in thier late 60's. Middle age people are millennials.
@@Steve-ev6vx he said this back when they were entering middle age. Carlin's dead but he had been a comedian since the late 50s.
@@Steve-ev6vx Carlin wasn’t a boomer. He was the generation before that.
For boomers and senior citizens, the current market and economy are unnecessarily harder. I'm used to simply purchasing and holding assets, which doesn't seem applicable to the current volatile market, and inflation is catching up with my portfolio. My biggest concern is whether I'll survive after retirement.
Just buy and invest in Gold or other reliable stock , the government has failed us and we cant keep living like this.
Yes, gold is a great investment and a good bet against the devaluating dollar, been holding some for awhile now, I’m grateful my adviser’s moment by moment changes in the market are lightening quick, cos who know how much losses I would’ve had by now.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?
Credits goes to " vivian jean wilhelm " one of the finest portfolio managers in the field. She's widely recognized; you should take a look at her work.
Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
My dad was the ultimate boomer. Only cared about himself, never met my kids even though he lived 20 minutes away, spent every dollar he ever made and inherited. He was sure to take credit for how his kids turned out but fought everything the whole way. He fought paying for college or anything but made sure to tell everyone how smart and accomplished his kids were. The ultimate boomer
I think you mean the ultimate narcissist.
@@InfinityReptar
Boomers are narcissists
Stop winning like little girl
I was taking care of my dad when he got cancer and he literally told me, I wasn't there because I didn't want to be.
sounds exactly like my father, just need to add alcoholism in the mix!
If anything Dillon is UNDERSELLING how awful Boomers are. "The first generation that wanted to do better than their children."
They did have ambition
The boomers are no different than any other generation. They might have gotten lucky to be born in the time and place that they did, but any generation would have turned out like the boomers had they grown up in the same conditions. If anything, we should learn from boomers and use them as an example for why you can’t spoil your children and give them everything. Struggle is necessary to create useful humans
Yes blame an entire generation for your failure. What a bunch of whining little bitches.
Bingo!! They hate their kids.
@@rickyayy because their kids took away the life of partying and snorting coke.
I hope tim dillion is getting paid for this because hes carrying the podcast so hard
Turned off at 1:18
Sometimes you gotta do some favors in this business it seems.
Agree. Tim said all this on his own podcast better and without being made to let some coked up dbag pretend to be smart.
Can't always be on
Right.
All throughout my 20s, my parents asked when I would be settling down and having kids. Now in my 30s with kids, I cannot get them to spend time with their grandchildren. They’d rather watch the news.
What the hell is it with them and cable news? Mine genuinely cannot turn off the TV - this baffles me considering how strict they were re my own TV consumption during my childhood
And you'll do the same thing when you reach your parents age
My mom when my daughter was a baby wouldnt hold my daughter because she said " those days are over"
Meanwhile now when she's 6 my mom sends her 18 Chinese toys from Temu
@EliLemke-ft3fs Lol that is fucked
My fiancees father caller her sobbing how he missed his grandsons birth due to a surgery he had. Despite this, he spends so little time with the kid it's laughable to hear him upset he doesn't see him. The man literally won't make the time despite nothing stopping him
When Tim said “we were there to support THEM emotionally” I felt that. My mom is a boomer I’m Gen X and as a 10yr old she’d talk to me like I was her 35 yr old girlfriend. I love my mother but I really, really , really HATE the boomer generation. Tom Wolfe nailed it when he dubbed them the “ME” generation. As a result the Gen X generation were like feral children. Most of my childhood was unsupervised, which actually was kinda fun but didn’t help me get ready for life as a successful, well rounded adult. I kinda had to figure it out on my own.
That’s why we’re Teenagers in Old People’s bodies
Honestly we were more prepared than the current generation..
I constantly tell my husband that I was on my own basically as a child 😂😢 my parents weren’t going to be bothered by my needs.
Yeah my mom was treating me like her husband at like 10 years old
Yup. Still haven’t figured it out 😝 🤷🏼♂️. I do know that people love controlling others and it’s tiresome.
When people say "the greatest generation," they mean the generation that was in WW2.
Yep. That’s my grandparents generation.
Lol greatest generation of racist. Yea the "greatest" generation was the one that got away with lynchings and keeping others down.
The greatest generation is the one that raised the worst generation in history.
the generation that birthed the boomers
The thing about the Greatest Generation is they EARNED that title, it was given to them by someone who was older than they were. They turned a economic collapsed isolated country into becoming the most influential and powerful society to have practically existed, while their goal in mind was to just survive either a harsh economy or the most vicious war ever. That generation sacrificed so much, and chances are they had their flaws too, in the end history proves that they contributed the greatest achievements imaginable.
To think their kids nearly every decade had some influence that would backfire on the rest of the country, the world, other generations, all because of how many just became so entitled.
The reason all this is true is because they were the first generation to be given easy access to the “upper middle class” while being heavily brainwashed by corporate/global interests
I mean, they barred minorities until the government stepped in(even then YMMV) from wealth. Now universally all races of younger people are getting “the boomer piglet dick”
This is true. The TV totally brainwashed them. They are an absolutely messed up generation.
One of the several reasons, but a great observation nonetheless.
Very good point
Also most of those hippies were spoiled rich kids who went back to their old lives once they had fun.
1000% accurate. The hippie generation was just an angry carnival of narcissism.
Or at least a reasonable place where you could start all over at a wage that wasn’t 50 percent of your rent!
Yup - while most of our dads got shipped off to Vietnam they were smoking dope, screwing each others brains out and ruining their universities
The greatest Generation got it wrong handing everything to Boomers. As a generation that lived through extreme poverty ( Great Depression) and a horrific world war it makes sense. They gave them everything they thought they wanted. But they got it wrong, the greatest gift you can give your kids is the confidence of self reliance, resilience and personal responsibility.
That's what I was thinking. The greatest generation was too self-sacrificing and gave rise to a generation that never had to self-sacrifice at all.
Any successful generation has to deal with how to hand off what was built up. It is their greatest failing that it happened like this. You have to hand down the morality to sustain things as well.
Boomers were the Greatest Generations biggest failure. Such a paradox.
1 in 10 boomer men deployed to Vietnam and many were drafted...
10% of half the population means 5%. Far from a majority.
I’m an older Millennial and even I’m offended by the thumbnail picture suggesting Baby Boomers are The Greatest Generation. That’s their parents that spoiled them.
Then you listen and he says the generation on the title is the parents of boomers lmao
Gen X is way underrated. The fact that a lot of us made it through childhood and teenage years without unintentionally killing ourselves with our absent Boomer parents needs more recognition.
💯
Facts
Not just Gen X. Many Millenials like myself had Boomer parent(s)
GenX.
Always despised the name growing up. As a generation we kick ass!
Came close to death on so many occasions and my boomer parents didn't even know, just my friends and I.
Facts
This is such a fascinating topic that Tim has pioneered in recent years. A book or documentary on boomers and the effect on society to this day is absolutely needed.
The book that is needed is the effects WWII had on family dynamics. Unsupervised children in factory parking lots as Rosie built war machines to systematically murder people...that dysfunctional generation raised the boomers yet they are not held to account. The first generation to live on booze, pills, swinging, etc., were the parents of the boomers (Madmen era).
People have been giving these criticisms for almost 30 years. Carlin in ‘96
Tim didn't pioneer this although he is mainstream so speaking against boomers with an audience is good but 4chan has boomer hate threads every day and has for over a decade
My Boomer Father has been saying his Generation is the most selfish and hypocritical generation and that they really f-ed things up. I didnt understand where he was coming from because he nor my mother are like that. But now that Im older, i understand what he was saying now.
Yea mine too. My parents are awesome, generous, selfless people. Recently my dad started openly venting his disgust with other people his age because he sees them going on lavish vacations and, as he sees it, spending their kids' inheritance. He showed a level of contempt I had never seen from him. Meanwhile he and my mom are taking every possible opportunity to help my family with stuff and support us when we need it.
I think the further you get from ww2 the worst people have become.
The shit people put up with today, previous generations wouldn't have put up with.
@@pCeLobster I tell my parents to spend their money. Inheritance tax is nearly 50% and if one ends up in a Nursing home, that money is gone in a year or two. Anyone who thinks they have a right to someone else's money is gross. I have heard people talk about what they get when someone dies, it made me ill. If your parents chose to live a certain life because they want to leave something for their kids, then fine. But there should be ZERO Expectation of doing so. It's great your parents help you when they can. But would you want them to deny themselves things just for a Nursing Home to get it all??
@@pCeLobster- and those people absolutely are. They leave no legacy for their descendants. It’s unnatural to not help develop generational wealth in the family. The Boomers will be considered a generation that took something great and then destroyed it all and made their granchildren pay for it. It’s bonkers.
@@danielmeuler2877- inheritance tax is only for amounts larger than in the millions. Not leaving stuff for your kids is not how people throughout human history functioned. It is NOT normal.
Why is the guy with the bad haircut laughing so hard
P.s. why the fuck are there 2 random guys on the left side of the set. They arent adding anything to this shitshow

Bill Maher firing his agent and quitting CAA because he didn’t get an invite to the CAA exec’s Christmas Party is the most boomer thing 😂

Boomers are the locusts that eat all the crop and move on, leaving famine behind.
They're worse. They eat all the seeds for next years planting as well. Then they eat all the livestock down to bleached dry bone. Then they poison the well and salt the Earth.
Then they move on.
Boomers borrowed so much from the future that they guaranteed the misery of all who come after for 4 generations. We're in 3 and counting. Gen 4 is growing up today and the world they're inheriting is going to be much more poor than the one we had pre-2020.
Really? How?
@@Petebootyfudge5312are you stupid

The forced, fake laughs are too much, man. Tim Dillon on fire as always tho.
THANK YOU!! I was JUST about to type this. I LOVE laughter and I HATE fake laughter.

They’re like speed bumps on a country lane without suspension in your car, wincing throughout a journey you want to enjoy.
It’s gotten really really bad now. It’s borderline sad to watch.
I recently watched the first time Andrew was on Tim's podcast, about 3-4 years ago.. covid times idk... and even though he's green and nervous back then, that fake ass laugh is still there, coupled with his aching anticipation for his turn to speak next. Not to be mean to Andrew, but he's either autistic or a gold star bellend.
"The Greatest Generation" is the one before the boomers. The one that fought in WWII.
And let their kids do whatever the hell they wanted. They pioneered the “subdivision “ they were the WORST generation
The silent generation is between the greatest generation and the boomers.
Yup
@@Steve-ev6vx Funny how they forget. Most appropriate title.
GenX here.... we are ok with you guys ignoring us again.
Right!?!?!!
Yeah- them pretending GenX doesn't exist is the most GenX thing ever, because we grew up being ignored.
Don’t worry, gen x are boomers with a little less rcsm . Y’all are no different. You happy now?
@notreallyafamousartist695 naw. We're ok being ignored because we think all the rest of you are full of shit and we have no time for it.
GenX is just Boomer light
I’m a millennial that grew up with parents born on the cusp of boomer and gen x (1965 &1966). My dad was semi-stereotypical boomer, but instead of saying “I worked hard for this, I deserve this!” like most boomers, he was more “I worked hard and mostly lucked out.” That’s probably some of the pessimism of gen x talking .
Boomers end in 1964, gen x begins in 1965. Your parents were gen xrs not boomers.
Imma gen xer (1979) & both my parents are & was boomers. My mom was young when she passed but my daddy (1951) omg, selfish. Drugs, blaming his addiction on everyone . His parents was born 1909 & 1918 & my grandparents was good parents. With him , it’s like entitlement & no accountability. The boomers messed my generation up frfr.. myself & people in my generation had to grow up too quickly & was forced to become adults when honestly we just wanted to be kids. Our parents made doing drugs was cool & that’s f up frfr.
Andrew's fake laugh is so terrible
He makes jimmy fallon look like he’s as talented as Richard Pryor
Let’s not forget how fucking awful azeeeeez is

Andrew's fake Andrew is so terrible 😅
So are your mothers fake tits
As an older millennial, I absolutely despise ALL boomers and their selfishness that has destroyed this country
The world. Look at Europe.
@@Pangora2 Even Asian countries are suffering because of the boomers. Specially in countries like China, Japan and the two Koreas.
The USA you mean? Look, in Italy they made a law to allow them to retire after 14 years, 6 months and a day of work (not joking) running double digit deficits in the 80s and creating and enormous public debt and the most expensive social security in the whole planet. And now they made a law to renovate the houses (mostly theirs of course) with public money, at the moment over 200 billion usd, in a country with a 2 trillion gdp. So I would say our boomers are even worse than yours.
@@stefanoparlatore7141 as a USA millennial it seems like the Boomers were spoiled worldwide due to the rewards that were received after World War 2 and used it to enrich themselves at the expense of others.
Same - they literally let the wolf in the front door and wonder why it’s eating their grandchildren.
Yes! The children were there to entertain them and validate their achievements
Oh, they are very needy for validation!
I can't count how many times my mother said she couldn't wait for us kids to grow up and leave. And now she says I never call or visit 😂
Omg, it’s like we have the same mom. 😂 I don’t even go over for holidays anymore and wonders why.
Same - my parents had a crazy alcoholic marriage and wonder why I don’t want anything to do with them 😂
When i was a teenager my boomer mom told me she wished she aborted me and now cries that i only send her a text on her birthday and mothers day.

PTSD? That's wild
Frfr 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣
As a person with Boomer parents, everything he’s saying is spot on lol.
My Grandparents were incredible people, my parents are complete pos.
Thankfully in my case, I was raised by my Grandparents.
Same but my grandparents were pretty hands off because they didn’t want to deal with my insane parents.
My great grandparents were very good people, they cared a lot about the community and the future. The boomers were the first generation that loss the sense of family values and community. They are selfish af
As a boomer myself, I can attest to my generation being as bad as any in history.
As someone who was out there protesting the Viet Nam war and then turn around and see my generation start one war after another thru my lifetime is depressing. We thought we were going to be the peace generation and, instead, we became the perpetual war generation.
As someone who was a hippie living on a commune at one time (I ended up dedicating my life to making money), to watch my generation ruin the planet chasing a buck is depressing. We thought we were going to be the back to earth generation and, instead, we became the disgusting materialistic generation.
As someone who believed in equality for all and prosperity for all to watch my generation destroy the working class in America is depressing. We thought we were going to be the love generation and, instead, we became the hate generation - racism, classism, xenophobia, religious hatred, cultural hatred - we've got it all.
To watch politics deteriorate to the pandering to the 1% at the expense of everyone else is depressing. We thought we were going to have the most fair minded, equality driven, generous, magnanimous government ever. Instead, it has been the exact opposite.
To watch our generation destroy the planet with impunity in the name of chasing a buck is depressing. We thought we were going to save the earth, instead we are full bore towards destroying it.
We had John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. All murdered. That was the previous generation. Our generation has vomited up Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Beyond depressing.

Boomers are largely all the same some are just more successful than others its truly bizarre
it was the movement from primarily rural to primarily urban life that happened during the “greatest generation”. kids no longer grew up working hand in hand with their parents, grandparents, siblings on the farm, all working to accomplish a common goal, survival of the family. it just changed the culture and ethics of society.
That boat comment is very fuckin real haha
My dad’s parents gave him everything he needed to succeed. He became a multi millionaire he refused to pay for me and my brothers college. His mom who was a part time teacher used all her savings to put him through Harvard.

This is literally a college course waiting to happen. It's like Tim has been a fly on the wall watching my entire life. So dead balls on target its incredible. As a native NYC he crushes every aspect of what NYC boomers are like.

I'm 37, my dad was born in 1935, served through Korea and into Vietnam (forged his birth certificate to join younger than legally allowed, he didn't have one until he joined up). He was WAY different than the parents of other kids that were young enough to be his kids. A true member of the silent generation, and I am so thankful I was raised by him instead of by some limp wristed weaklings like so many of the other kids.
Korea AND Vietnam?!? What a fucking bad ass. Was he a sergeant major when he retired?

Never in my life would i expect someone to reference Neil Postman on this podcast. Smh Tim is riding the bomb and waving his ball cap in the wind as he falls towards societal destruction and he is aware of it
Nice to cross paths with another literate person.
He is more like pointing at the bomb falling. He has no control over society.
I got that book sitting up on my shelf in my bedroom. Tim is well read and knows his stuff.

We were too busy doing all of their work for them, because [Insert "unarguable" boomer reason here].
Ask boomers if they have ever made a mistake in their life. Most honest response you will get is something like "Well of course, but..."
"I'm sure I did, but I can't think of one right now."
This is the TRUTH.
I have a family member in that age group that pats himself on the back by watching WWII documentaries 7 days a week.
that hit home too hard.
…completely overlooked Gen X…it’s ok, we’re used to it.
Yall were the last generation to have a shot at the American dream but most of yall got destroyed by your parents. Now everyone is fucked. We're gonna have to fight eventually.
Gen X the forgotten generation... and honestly, as a Gen X'er, I think most of us prefer it that way. While all of the other generations are fighting each other, us Gen X'ers are off in the corner doing our own thing staying out of it.
This right here, this mentality is why I was so pissed when I found out that I was relegated to be a millennial because I've the same operating procedure internally. Even I say "Those goddamned millennials."
The Proper term is Intersecting Lines generation😅
Y'all haven't been forgotten my parents, aunts and uncles are Gen X. I think of them as the salt of Earth. There isn't anything too egregious or too naive with folks from that era. Not everything and everyone is perfect, but I feel like y'all as good as they come.

"They view their kids as an impediment to their success. They wanted them to do worse than they did." - You just described my boomer father to a tee. (Gen X ignored again...)
WOKE is a Gen X thing Tim. They were doing it in the 90's when millennials were just being born. You attribute the things you grew up with to being "your generation" when really you were a child and those things were created by the previous generations. 70's movies for example were not created by Gen X. 80's stuff was not created by 80's kids.. etc etc

Top Tier Tim! 🔥
Children there to support them emotionally- this hits nail on the head
As an older millennial, he’s spot on about us in a way and it’s a lot of the things I’ve rejected. I saw my peers slipping into it and a lot of friends all of a sudden became acquaintances. All the attention seeking just became bothersome to me someday.
The millenials grew up with social media which made attention-seeking into "normal" behavior. I stay off that stuff for that very reason. I don't seek attention, honestly don't want it, and try to spend my time doing productive things to ensure I have a nice future.
If you’re interested in this, you should check out The Fourth Turning by Neil Howe. He explains the Boomers and why it feels like the world is coming to an end. Another great book is Peter Zeihan’s The End of the World is just the Beginning
For my parents generation making sacrifices meant working 24/7 and spend so little time with us, letting the society and tv educate us..in my case teaching me stuff that are no longer usefulin the world we'reliving today...lucky I grew up with my grandparents...as a parent myself I try to avoid those mistakes with my kids
I told my dad I had smoked pot. He promptly got me high on hash and then dropped me off at my mom's house. I was 12.
I drank and did Cocaine with my mom….😂🤦♂️
@@angusdog22My mother started sharing her klonopins and percs with me when I was 15. She also taught me how to do speed and smoke rocks. Thanks mom! My teenage years were an absolute blast. My mid to late twenties not so much. The only thing I do now is take half of a suboxone everyday so I can function and a little bit of speed on the weekends if I'm feeling froggy.
My mum gave me my first joint.. even rolled it for me.. my dad offered me a line of speed.. wonderful generation of sociopaths
Tim Dillon's comedy is like hilarious 4-D Chess 😂 Genius
Boomers were the first generation raised with Television. I think the effects of Television on human beings will not be understood for some time.
Television "programming" is correct
Came here just to say Flagrant is horrendous.
Thank you for your service. I came for the same reason.
What happened? I haven't watched in a while and now it seems like their audience has turned on them.
When did you start watching it?
I am only here for Tim❤
I feel like the description of millennials is only focusing on liberals that are millennials.
Mostly the "woke" majority due to popularity and social pressure.
15 minutes in, haven't heard one mention of Gen X.
Forgotten again.
Cause yall aren't the problem for once. Just the cool older brothers and sisters that got out before the house burned down.
Love this podcast but ANDREW YOU HAVE TO LET THE GUEST TALK MAN…..you’re killing me!!!!
I was adopted and my parents used to complain at times when me and my brother would ask for things. Mentioned to us how much more richer they would be without us or the cars and clothes they can’t buy because of us. I would think 1: we came with a check every month and two they didn’t have to say yes,they had an actual choice. Always perplexed me.
Agreed, same exact situation. Left scratching my head, I was one of 5 adopted with them getting checks every month. I worked as a kid while I was with them in foster care for 5 or 6 year, then adopted...and again worked for them to pay my keep as they say. Still unhappy of the "burden" all of us kids were. We either served their purpose or ignored and deemed useless when we became 18. They kept controll by knowing all my fears, created new ones so I'd be afraid of independence, and used threats of abandonment if I didn't do what they wanted. All forms of control from a Narcissist whom I can tell they enjoyed my tournament. Gaslighting me all the way through young adult hood until I became wiser and had time to get distance from their toxicity.
Once the checks stopped and they lost control over me, they lost interest as well. I do say that they did have good intentions along the way when they first adopted all of us kids. They helped pay for college and adopted me so I wouldn't be left to age out of the system. I learned a lot from life's challenges and traumas along the way and look back and feel greatful for learning those lessons and gaining wisdom so I can become a mindful parent. There's a lesson in all experiences, even the hardest ones. Yet it's good to remember that Hell is paved with good intentions too...
They have millenials and Gen Zs partly backwards. Millennials were the 80s and 90s babies that would use every slur and insult in the book, would do drugs pretty recreationally, had a middling rate of teen pregnancy, etc. Gen Zs do less drugs than prior generations, have less sex, are generally more anxious, and more progressive. Euphoria is not at all a representation of a typical California school.
GenZ is less progressive than millennials. You are right on the other stuff. Z doesn't bother with sex or drugs because what's the point? They are burnt out cynics before they even get a job.
Euphoria is the result of Drake and Future's weird sexual fantasies about teen girls. I can't stand that show. It has nothing to do with actual life as a teen.

Didn’t hear Gen X mentioned once, during this diatribe.
Shocking. Called the forgotten generation for a reason.
My parents treated wealth as a high score in a video game. There wasn’t a reason to have it other than to say they have a high score and looked at their kids as someone holding them back from getting a higher score.
Omg. Yes! They resented us for sure! Lol. Mum shoved me in full time when I was 5 weeks old because, you know, "Why on earth shouldn't I have had a career and social life Em? I mean...for goodness sake! The world doesn't revolve around you!" It was my mum's 70's birthday last night. Her speach was all about how hard she and my stepdad worked and why they "deserve every single bit of success" they have enjoyed because of "how hard" they worked, how important her friends are to her...not one mention of my brother's, myself or our children lol. Btw, neither my stepdad nor my mum "worked hard". They both worked in the Australian Public Service. My stepdad still jokes "I learnt never to look out of the window in the morning at work...if you did, you'd have nothing to do in the afternoon." hahaha. They bought their home and holiday house for a pitance and berate us because we haven't bought houses ourselves. Oh...the funniest moment: mum put a "Climent Action Now" sign on their letterbox...they take at least five OS flights every years, drive everywhere etc. They just have no idea!
Tim Dillon is a philosopher at this time ❤
07:36 "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman is the name of the book.
My father was blue collar but educated himself. He does not fit into any of these stereotypes. He was the most interesting person ive ever met. In this insane world we live in take a sec and tell your mom or dad that u appreciate them even if they fell short of your expectations.
My boomer parents are great. We have two kids now and they drop everything to watch them while my wife and I work- and they share it’s one of the greatest joys of their lives to help with their grandkids. I love Tim but I don’t think I’ll relate to his book personally.
I don’t think you will either. Lucky for you with great boomer parents… Tim describes mine pretty well!!
You’re just lucky lol. We just had a new baby and my husband’s mom and stepmom won’t come to visit or even FaceTime with the baby. They could not give a flying F. My mom helped for a month but was a grump the entire time and could not wait to go back home so that she could go to her senior classes. These ppl do not care about their grandchildren. It’s insane.
My parents and in laws are also boomers and they are fantastic, unselfish, love their grandkids, put everyone else first, helpful, providers, caring. 🙏 one set of them is American and the other full Mexican. And they are both the same way even tho they are from different countries. I guess it comes to show it’s all about the way you were raised and character 🙏🙏
You are one of the few lucky ones, congratulations
Conversation w/my Boomer Dad during COVID: I'm concerned about how this situation & inflation are affecting the younger generations. The ramifications from this are going to be devastating.
Boomer Dad: "Well, we don't want to die either."
yup. 2020 is when I gave TWO FUKS about the Boomers. They also voted for Biden
Oh man, hit the nail on the head about boomer parents smoking, drinking, etc with their kids.
Not something I would ever do with my kids as I know how harmful that is.
As a 53-year-old man, I can confirm all of this. I was born in 1970. My mom and dad divorced when I was very young, and they have to be the most self-centered people I've ever met. They weren't particularly good parents, they didn't really care, and they really didn't put much time or effort into me. They lived like adult children for most of their lives, and now, 70's, are whining and crying that they aren't young anymore and they can't do the things that young people do. My mom hasn't even worked since the 1980s. They only care about themselves, they care absolutely nothing at all for my kids, they don't care about me, and they have already blown through most of the money they inherited from their parents. They have a bad surprise coming. I know they are so selfish and stupid as to think I'm going to rush in and take care of them when they are old, but they've gotten to live Decades of a lifestyle my wife and I will never live. Because we work and we put everything we have into our kids. I actually look forward to the day when I can tell them that they're free ride is over and now they have to do what I have always done. Look after myself
Andrew feels like a hipster’s comic, where Tim is a comic’s comic.
Am I the only one who thought Andrew had his feet on Tim's lap 6 minutes in ? 😂
You want to see the boomers be outraged crush antique cars.
As far as weirdness goes - the number of frequent adult parties that the boomers had while ignoring their young kids who were running around - it would shock most people. Middle class boomers having essentially keg parties while their 2 year olds are running around - it was wild stuff.
Tim got a sunburn only on the middle of his face
Coke is a hell of a drug.
He rubbed the makeup off his face from constantly touching it.
Get the book y'all!
My Dad is a boomer and he was not like this. I’m sorry for all the people who have parents like this.
Greatest Generation refers to the baby boomer’s parents. The generation born during the depression who fought WW2
Without a single doubt
I think boomers were the start of the "good times create weak men".
Yessss it’s about time u guys clipped this part
i love tim and wanna listen to this so badly but andrew is so insufferable it’s almost impossible to get through
My Boomer landlord is downright evil - lies like it's breathing. One has to marvel at him.
The Woodstock Generation is a term used to describe individuals of the baby boomer generation in the United States who subscribed to the values of the American counterculture of the 1960s and early 1970s. Thank God, I thought he was talking about my era of the boomer generation who came of age in the late 70s (Generation Jones). disco, rock and roll, judging people by the content of their character and plentiful cocaine and weed.
Glad you brought this up. There needs to be a distinction. The problematic boomers are what I call the children of Woodstock. If you weren’t old enough for Woodstock to have been a thing in your life you’re not a real boomer.
This guy is SO on point about the boomers. Even though my parents were born and raised in Eastern Europe, before moving to the west，they have the exact traits that this guy was talking about!
As a Gen X we were actually the first victims of the Boomers.
