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