Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. As a man in the
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, I do everything I can to cling to youth,
Speaker 1: like a sixty year old Tom Cruise clinging to the
Speaker 1: side of a helicopter. Oh and don't tell the casting
Speaker 1: people at Euphoria that I'm not actually in my early twenties.
Speaker 1: I'm up for a juicy role. Is Zenda as little
Speaker 1: brother who wished me luck. But lately I've been noticing
Speaker 1: a new trend. Young people are starting to act like
Speaker 1: older people. It's subtle, but once you notice it, you
Speaker 1: start seeing it everywhere, especially if you're a dinner at
Speaker 1: four PM. It's the early bird special for young folks.
Speaker 1: The elderly have long been the butt of jokes about
Speaker 1: early bird dining, but now a younger generation is embracing
Speaker 1: the early birth special. The busier times used to start
Speaker 1: at eighth n but nowadays it's definitely starts on the
Speaker 1: earlier side. A pizza joint in Lower Manhattan is also
Speaker 1: booking tables earlier and earlier. Just look at all these
Speaker 1: early bird reservations. With so many people working from home
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, employees are eager to get out of
Speaker 1: their homes as soon as the workday ends, which is
Speaker 1: definitely contributing to the shift. Are you shipping me young
Speaker 1: people stealing all the early bird reservations. Seniors need those spots.
Speaker 1: They have to be in bed by seven thirty or
Speaker 1: else all their organs slide into their ankles. This has
Speaker 1: to end, though, old people eating early. As part of
Speaker 1: the social contract. Old people get the early restaurant spots
Speaker 1: and exchange. Young people get to not watch old people eat.
Speaker 1: It's about privacy. All people don't walk into your bedroom
Speaker 1: and watch you have energet robust sets. They watched through
Speaker 1: the window because they respect boundaries. And it's one thing
Speaker 1: for young people to claim seniors restaurant reservations, but now
Speaker 1: they're claiming something even more sacred, the discounts. One surprising
Speaker 1: trend now among young people signing up for benefits from
Speaker 1: the A A r P. The Wall Street Journal finding
Speaker 1: twentysomethings as new card carriers in an effort to snag
Speaker 1: discounts and mid inflation, showing it's not just for the
Speaker 1: fifty and older crowd. In my head, it was always
Speaker 1: something for senior citizens. Year old Marissa schwartzays she learned
Speaker 1: a lot about a a ARP benefits through TikTok and
Speaker 1: couldn't help but join in on the savings. Contrary to
Speaker 1: popular belief, you can be any age to join a
Speaker 1: ARP and the benefits are awesome. Back the old people
Speaker 1: earned those A RP memberships. Those A RP memberships fair
Speaker 1: and square by not dying, and a bad economy is
Speaker 1: no excuse. Did I horn in on a senior citizen
Speaker 1: discount to get me through the Great Depression? No, because
Speaker 1: I wasn't alive during the Great Depression? U assholes? How
Speaker 1: old do you think I am? You're gonna blow my
Speaker 1: shot at euphoria. I just hope these under age A
Speaker 1: RP members don't find out the secret perchs of the card.
Speaker 1: I don't want to brag, but I can shoplift as
Speaker 1: much as I want. And if I get caught, I
Speaker 1: flashed this and they assume I'm just senile and let
Speaker 1: me go. You thought I was a deranged man end
Speaker 1: But now I've got a free giant bag of bird
Speaker 1: seed suckers. I don't even have a bird. All that
Speaker 1: scene is for me. Who's the arranged man? Now? But
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. It's fun to eat
Speaker 1: early and get discounts on captainers. But there's fun. There's
Speaker 1: one aspect of elder culture that the youth might want
Speaker 1: to avoid getting scammed. From TikTok to Instagram, teens are
Speaker 1: being victimized on everyday apps. In fact, a new study
Speaker 1: finds some tech savvy gen z ears are falling for
Speaker 1: online scams at a higher rate than their grandparents. A
Speaker 1: study from Social Catfish shows the top scams targeting teens
Speaker 1: or sex stortion plants against boys. The FBI says scammers
Speaker 1: poses attractive women on social media and send nude photos
Speaker 1: to the victim, demanding they do the same and send
Speaker 1: the money. If talent scouts scams are on the rise.
Speaker 1: To users on Instagram and TikTok received d m s
Speaker 1: offering modeling and acting opportunities. Scammers then asked for a
Speaker 1: fee to apply, but of course there's no talent job inside.
Speaker 1: Another common scam is student loan forgiveness. Scammers are creating
Speaker 1: fake student loan websites, tricking people into providing their bank info.
Speaker 1: Who's matter technology, Now, you're pimply little, but look it's
Speaker 1: the guy who was only recently a keen boy, a
Speaker 1: wink up I sympathize. If I had TikTok in my youth,
Speaker 1: my brain would also be a gullible bowl of horny Barridge.
Speaker 1: But still, I'm worried about where this acting older trend
Speaker 1: could go. I mean, what's next stealing all the best
Speaker 1: rooms at the retirement community, over crowded bingo halls, quitting
Speaker 1: your steady job behind a desk before your even forty?
Speaker 1: Can you even imagine something doing something that crazy? Trevor? Anyway,
Speaker 1: here's something I came up with. It will help the
Speaker 1: kids from getting screwed. Take a look. Hi, I'm Louis Black.
