1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: America, the Land of Freedom, deep fried twinkies, and all

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: those other things we pretend we invented but actually stole

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: from other cultures.

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,880

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Best traditions of any country on Earth? True facts? Mma,

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: brawls on airplanes, drive through weddings in Vegas, and the

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: annual Diabetics pie eating contest in Arkansas. We do it

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: the best. In fact, we have so many awesome things

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: going on, we can't keep them all. And that's why

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: people online have been predicting which great American traditions they

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: believe will completely fade away over the next few years

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: and decades. Some of these you might be happy to

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: see go. Others could be a bummer if they died out.

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: But let's find out.

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: Number one. Class reunions.

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 3: Yes, bye, I haven't been to one since my ten years,

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: since I get a couple of years ago.

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: I mean, are you avoiding them on purpose? Or are

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: you like just.

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 4: They just don't have any interest? Is that bad? I

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: saw my high school. What happened?

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: I didn't go?

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: Twenty people went out of five hundred and fifty people

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: to go.

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: Someone said social media has rendered class reunions totally irrelevant. Yeah,

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: but on the other hand, social media does keep you

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: more connected with old classmates, so you can see photos

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: of them going through their second divorce, and that's nice.

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 4: I think it's a reminder I don't want to see

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: them again. I think it's funny.

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: As you know, my mom's class, they have reunions like

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: every year now because people just keep dying. Yeah, no,

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I don't need to laugh at that.

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: But she should do like she should set up like

Speaker 4: Oh, don't even tell me. It's for that trunk crap.

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: That's what people say.

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Ever since trunk or treating took off during COVID, they've

40
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: barely had any trick or treaters coming to their namehborhood

41
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: plus social media makes it easier to find the best

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: neighborhoods for candy, So all the families are just driving

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:05,960

Speaker 1: disappearing over the next few years because they're outdated or irrelevant.

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Number three massive gender reveal events, and not just because

52
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: of all the forest fires, but also because they're just

53
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: getting too expensive and people are getting sick of them.

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: I feel like there's also a trend with people not

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: knowing until the baby's born, like waiting to find out themselves.

56

00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,239

97
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,120

00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: strapped for cash or they just don't want to send

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: themselves into debt, especially when.

112
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: Most of them and in divorce anyway.

113
