My Grandfather's Advice

Instead of thinking about what you want to say next, stop and listen to what the other person is saying. Looking at you, Brad. I can't handle Brad never letting anyone finish a a thought before interrupting. I'll hang up and listen.

Cool, I bet Brad will lose sleep over this.

you're being the guy who walks into a bar, immediately tells the bartender how to do his or her job, and then wonders why everyone is glaring at you.

Feel free to hang up and stop listening.

Is there some controversy I’m missing out on? I think Brad is a pretty damned good host. He’s not an entertainer like Ryan or a loose canon like Jeff, but he plays a good straight man and keeps the show moving.

Sometimes he pulls the plug on gags too early for my tastes, but I think he does a great job with his role.

Ok, I’m new to memes, is this where we all say “ok boomer”?

Don't worry. I hear Brad's leaving.

@htr10: I saw an article claiming “okay, boomer” to be Gen Z’s greatest accomplishment.

I think the meme is some bullshit that speaks poorly of those who say it without irony. I also agree with it being their greatest accomplishment. ;)

@nutter: I'm like deeply profoundly tired of seeing it but at the same time every other day somebody does something that revitalizes it and makes it feel necessary.

@efesell: I must be lucky. I think this thread is only my second run-in with it.

The first was last night. I saw some politician from New Zealand do it. I scratched my head, thought it made her look thoughtless and dismissive. I then closed the article.

With any luck, it’ll just be these two encounters and I can go on blissfully unaware of Twitter.

Everyone knows the best parts of any audio recording are the awkward silences.

Edit: “ Lol fuck your grandfather” .

Shit. That was the correct response.

Chloe Swarbrick rules, it was a great use to shutdown a heckling colleague.

@yothatlimp: To each their own. I couldn’t hear a heckle (the article said there was one, it just didn’t seem to light the mic up), but my introduction to her lead to me closing the window and shaking my head.

The good news is, I’ll probably forget about this in a week, as I do with most Internet bullshit, so no harm done!

I don’t know her politics and in no way deride your support for her. I just think “ok, [insert categorization here]!” is a shitty thing to say.
