1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Few signs that you know you're getting older. I watched 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: a movie on Sunday with the group of friends. Here 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: are twelve things I learned. One, I wasn't hungover on 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: the couch, Uber eats and McDonald's from the sofa. That's 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: a sign that you're getting older. Number two. I took 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: the extraordinary measure of walking to the movies using perfectly 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: capable legs, even though they are a bit stiff, bit 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: sore from the gym. Three. This means you have visited 9 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: the gym four times this week to ensure that your 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: ass will squeeze into that ever shrinking seat that they 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: put you in at the movies. Four. You chat amongst 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: yourselves quite loudly while the shorts are playing, because well, 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: you just don't give a flying shit about that level 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: of decorum any longer, do you. Nobody paid for the shorts. 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: They paid for the film. The rest is marketing. Five. 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: The short you do watch has Leonardo DiCaprio, heart Throb 17 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: of youth, playing the cantankerous father figure, and a group 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: of young actors the children, and you have no idea 19 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: who they are. Five You feel nostalgia. The movie is 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: set in the early two thousands. Six, You feel the 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: young actors replicating the style of the clothes, the hair 22 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: bit lame, copying what we clearly did better. Eight. One 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: of your friends has a moon boot on after a 24 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: fall that he took while we were out walking over 25 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: the weekend prior eight. At nine, you can't count. You 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: love the movie Caught Stealing with Austin Butler. You should 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: go and see it if you haven't, not just because 28 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: it's good and it's a simple, hearty action thriller, but 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: because it's only an hour and a half long. Ten 30 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: That means only one toilet break, because it's impossible to 31 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: sit on six hundred and sixty miles of fizzy water 32 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: without the feeling that your bladder might explode into a 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: thousand pieces. Eleven The time frame is just enough before 34 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: you need to rearrange because you've got back pains, always 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: of sign you're getting older. Twelve are most importantly, you laugh, 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: You're enthralled, you have a good time. You feel pretty 37 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: content sitting there in the dark with your buddy, happy 38 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: in the knowledge that any worries you had going in 39 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: are a world away from the grungey Lower East Side 40 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: of Manhattan, where the film is set. It's the little 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: things you notice that paint a picture of where your 42 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: life is at, how old you are, and how you 43 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: fit into the world of ever changing demographics. It's a 44 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: reminder to enjoy the good moments in life and the 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: people that make you happy, because one day we'll either 46 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: have dementia or be dead. Here's to middle age, halfway 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: dead and just fine with that.
