The Gospel According to Jennifer
Fear and GenZ with Hutch Deibler
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Remember the last time your charger got mistaken for makeup? It sparked the most unexpected banter at the Diebler family table—and that's just a taste of the conversations we're serving up this week. Our special guest, the Gen Z representative and anxiety connoisseur, Hutch Diebler, joins us to shed light on what it's like navigating a world where "cheugy" is a put-down and a phone charger can spark an intergenerational debate.
Get ready to laugh and maybe learn a thing or two as we tackle the quirks of modern-day communication. We'll take you on a rollercoaster ride from our largest crowd of 160,000 at Celebrate Freedom 2000, to the more intimate stages of family life where baby Hutch once made his on-stage debut. We're connecting generations—one cheeky comment and technical hiccup at a time, discussing everything from the Gen Z slang that baffles us to that time someone's old car turned the heat into an opera singer.
Wrap up your day with a chuckle as we discuss the secret to attracting teens (hint: it's not deer urine), and the allure of healthy snacks and hot tubs—with the assurance that it's all in good fun. Our episode comes to an impromptu close with a surprise visitor, but not before we give a nod to Hutch's music available on Apple Music and Spotify. Tune in for a heartfelt blend of laughter, candid reflections, and those precious family moments that always seem to take an unexpected turn.
all right, that looks like makeup I thought it was makeup and it's called clutch. What is it which sounds super?
Speaker 3masculine what is that?
Speaker 1it's um. It goes on the back of my phone and it's a charger.
Speaker 2Oh, it's got this little guy and comes out do you remember clutch powers?
Speaker 1yeah, can you guys be quiet for a minute while I do the intro? Let's see if you can do it Just going in.
Speaker 2It's all about him. Yeah Well it is my podcast.
Speaker 1If you haven't noticed, there's a hundred flyers around us that say the name of the podcast and you see how quiet everybody got. This is the Gospel, according to Jeremy. Thanks for joining us everybody. I'm Jeremy Dibler, along with Drew Powell, jennifer Dibler.
Speaker 2Hutch Dibler, this week Special guest. Can you hear me chewing my gum?
Speaker 1I didn't just now.
Speaker 2You're chewing gum. Yeah, gosh, here we go. My hope for this podcast is just a fight the whole time Between who. Hutch and Jennifer. Yeah, just a family fight. Yeah, just a brawl.
Speaker 1Yeah, well, I mean, who gets along the most out of the three of you?
Speaker 2Oh, Out of the three of us. It's changed. They get along really well. Good father-son combo no comment about that? I don't know he he can't stand me most of the time.
Speaker 3True, yeah, that goes for both.
Speaker 1Sometimes. I know you've not used mics a whole lot, but you might want to just get up next to yours, sorry. Don't whatever you do, you're going to get yelled at, oh yeah.
Speaker 2Here we are.
Speaker 1Hi Drew, hey, Anyways, let me kind of set this up a little bit before you guys just take over with it. Can I at least pretend it's mine, for?
Speaker 2a second. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1We are back after a really long Scott Williamson episode. I'm thinking this week we will try to make it a little bit shorter. And then we have Ariel Lohan next week. I mean, we're just killing it out here with guests. Well, people are reaching out to us like crazy, wanting to be on.
Speaker 2Yeah, they want to be on. We're getting publicists. No, not one person. I was like what? Who is reaching out?
Speaker 1Not one person.
Speaker 2Hutch was begging to be on.
Speaker 1I brought Hutch on today because I have, with clients and also just in life over the past month or so also just in life over the past month or so have heard so much about this free-floating anxiety that Gen Z has, and I felt like it would have been weird to talk about it without a Gen Z person here, and so I brought Hutch on to talk about it a little bit, which, by the way, did you know that that's what you're talking about today?
Speaker 3Yeah, I'm like the resident anxious person in the house.
Speaker 1Well, there is something that led me to want to have him on. He doesn't know this yet, but I'll share it later. But do you guys know what Gen Z stands for?
Speaker 2Gen.
Speaker 1It's a.
Speaker 2Generation.
Speaker 1You got the generation.
Speaker 2It's fantastic.
Speaker 1It is You're going to think, zany, if you think Gen Z is cool, now it's about to go away.
Speaker 2It's got to be something. What does it stand for? They're the Zoomers. Oh, I have heard that. The Zoomer generation. I've never heard that. So it's kind of like Boomer to Zoomer.
Speaker 1Yeah, just skip the millennial.
Speaker 2You can't beat Gen X.
Speaker 1Well, something I and I'll tell you what he was talking about millennials the other day. Like they were old, he was like yeah it looks like some millennial did it.
Speaker 3Well, no, I don't think that it means they're old, it's just a specific vibe.
Speaker 1Millennials have a vibe. Yeah, it's a lot of fonts.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1That's what you were saying. Yeah, before we get into that, let's do a couple of comments real quick, because these are backed up. These comments are backed up like weeks and weeks.
Speaker 2I'm not looking forward to this part. Why I?
Speaker 1don't know, because you know there's one disparaging one. I saved it for the end it's awesome, I feel like they're normally very complimentary of you.
Speaker 2Oh good, she doesn't get negative ones very often. Yeah, I do, no, no no, it's all been good.
Speaker 1I cause a fight. I am Katie Bakken. Hi, jeremy, haven't heard from you in a while, so I pray all is okay. You and your family are on my prayer list. It's been a joy to read your newsletters. Oh, this is why I put this one on here, if you're a listener and a subscriber. It has a long time since I put out one of those weekly newsletters, so I put this on here just to remind me, to let you know that I'm still fine, I'm around.
Speaker 3To remind me. This is the only way I could reach you.
Speaker 1She reached out and she's like I hope you're all right. It's been a joy to read your newsletters and get a glimpse into all God has done for you. You're a blessing. Just wanted you to know you're being lifted up in prayer Super nice. Brian from Texas said I'd love to hear you all talk about Celebrate Freedom 2000. Have to know what it is first, possibly other large crowds you've played.
Speaker 2Oh, I mean that was 160,000 people that day.
Speaker 1Have you ever played to a larger crowd?
Casual Banter and Podcast Feedback
Speaker 2No, have we ever played to a larger crowd? That was the biggest one 160,000 people. I thought it was more. You said something insane to something at one point.
Speaker 1Well, that's what I heard, but 160 sounds more realistic.
Speaker 2That's what I said. I think the fish just keeps getting bigger.
Speaker 1Well, somebody told us it was a quarter of a million people all on the field at South Fork. But I mean once you get up over 100,000, it's like what's one more?
Speaker 3Man, that feels like a quarter million. That's right, 101,000.
Speaker 1Man that's at least a quarter million. What did this?
Speaker 2person say 160?
Speaker 1160.
Speaker 2What was Creation? I think that was like 80. Yeah.
Speaker 1Creation is a highlight. Have you ever been to Creation in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 2It was fun, those two.
Speaker 1It was so fun. You went at two years old, I don't remember, it was two people. Was he alive?
Speaker 2Oh, it was two people.
Speaker 1He was born in 03, so he probably wasn't at many festivals?
Speaker 2Probably not when we did Creation.
Speaker 1Yeah, sandy Lynn says I enjoy watching you on YouTube. I think Drew is a very caring man and he should stay Caring. See, that was nice. How about that? I've never been called caring before, but I appreciate it. We can't say that again the one before, but I appreciate it well, the one episode, the one episode so far out of 26 that we did without you.
Speaker 2It was a technical train wreck came off yeah, I mean it was it was rough. What did you write there?
Speaker 1I was as a reminder for myself. Okay, oh, care, talk to care carry me karen you didn't get a pen yeah, I didn't trust you don't plan on.

Speaker 2I have heard frog before.
Speaker 1I've never heard that.
Speaker 2You haven't. Yeah, I've heard that.
Speaker 1Man, so far gripping content. I like this daylight thing that you got on me. I wonder if the people watching can tell that I'm lit.
Speaker 2Lit.
Speaker 1Yeah, man, we're getting some major static going on.
Speaker 2Oh really, who is it? Which one is it? It's every time the table is hit. Oh, I will hit the table. I will try to be careful. Yeah, I think it's mine.
Speaker 1That's a struggle, um brady allrich says your discussions about your kids growing up brings me back to an ffh concert we saw in tacoma, washington, and jennifer brought little baby hutch on stage. Oh, little baby hutch with his cute little ear protection headphones look how big him is now wow.
Speaker 1To hear that he's following in your footsteps is awesome. He's got a lot of talent, which he comes by. Naturally, don't let those what is this even about? Haters affect this awesome podcast. On a technical side, please have drew. Switch the cameras to landscape mode. Done, did it, we did it we went landscape we read this guy's mail um well, we never started thinking that we were going to put this on youtube and then you started put on youtube and a lot of people were watching so we're like well, man, we better record it for youtube what do they call it?
Speaker 2who's hating sideways?
Speaker 1sideways, we're just sideways. Yeah, oh, we got a few people that, oh, we we got some haters.
Speaker 2You're here.
Speaker 3Nice yeah. I feel, like that means people are watching.
Speaker 2Does it, oh yeah.
Speaker 3You might be interested after this. Well, I just haven't had a chance to hate.
Speaker 2You do enough without the podcast. I'm pretty unprepared today. I'm like so hating on you. I'm like being mean.
Speaker 1Does it feel weird having him here? Do you feel like you have to be more edited?
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1You don't.
Speaker 2Maybe I do, I don't know, you still could if you wanted to be more edited. Shut up. I'm so caffeinated I feel like my heart's going to come out of my chest. Are you serious? It's hard for me to think straight.
Speaker 1Man, I've had these afternoon podcasts for you. It's rough, I've been talking for five straight hours already this morning. You guys are really gonna have to carry me today you got a lifesaver there. Yeah, it's just one, all right um, last night I played music with hutch and sadie as part of their band, and in the green room there was just a whole lot of those, and so I lifted big box. I lifted a ton of those the problem with these wintergreen lifesavers is I eat them like food, like I actually they're so good.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean it's like man.
Speaker 1Okay, vince de carlos says I love john mays and water burger. So this is perhaps the most likable podcast episode in the history of the platform oh whoa which the reason I want to put that on there is because, uh, uh, in and out edged water burger for our um, best burger poll by like five percent barely it was very close and also short hair edged long hair by like five percent oh, it beat long hair it did but not by much.
Speaker 1No I'm growing it back out. Are you just kidding? I don't know. Is it coming? I'm just saying I saying I've never had Whataburger. I think I've said that before.
Speaker 2Oh, it's good. I'm hoping someone gets it. Me neither. It's not as good as In-N-Out.
Speaker 1Really.
Speaker 2Shh, sorry, vince.
Speaker 1Well, In-N-Out is a vibe and it also is cheap.
Speaker 2In-N-Out's so cheap.
Speaker 3The amount of sodium in it. Like the fries, just salt.
Speaker 1Well, I never get the fries. It's great. What do I get at?
Speaker 3In-N-Out. Two double doubles right, no two hamburgers I'm sorry With With triple pickles.
Speaker 2Oh, triple pickles yeah.
Speaker 1That's the name of my jet. Triple pickle, triple pickles.
Speaker 3I love it. Jeremy's In-N an out order for 500.
Speaker 1Rob Posnanski says seriously, one of my favorite podcasts to listen to Rob Posnanski. Yes, I always remember the conversation y'all would have back in the day and it would really go from topics like tampons to deconstruction man. Remember Rob? Yes, he was great, he is great, he's not dead.
Speaker 2He Remember Rob.
Speaker 1Yes, he was great, he is great.
Speaker 2He's not dead. He's not dead, thank God yeah. He probably still is great he worked at the record company and he was just so fun. What did he do? I just remember loving him, wasn't it like radio and promotions and stuff, I think? So I can't remember what the job was. He listens. I'm sure we'll get a comment. More unbiblical nonsense.
Speaker 1Yes, More kindergarten level blasphemy from Jennifer. In the same episode we have more talk of the new age and demonic Enneagram. Nothing more to say. Praying for your repentance.
Speaker 2Wow man, me too. I have one thing to say. Who is this?
Speaker 1The Realm. This is the Realm. I love the Realm, the Realm.
Speaker 2I hope the Realm's still listening, or realm just no, realm just don't watch.
Speaker 1No realm has not given up on us yet. I love that still praying yeah, well, this is probably because it doesn't have to watch or listen, but still does, but maybe just to check for heresy. Yeah, I think the realm's just watching with a very critical eye there's eight comments on here, and usually this is about the ratio per per eight. There's one that's like you guys need to clean up your show, or I thought, jennifer, not, no show was coming.
Speaker 1You need to clean up your show well, jennifer's saying oh my god too much, or jennifer's talking too much.
Speaker 2I think that pretty much all comes from the realm right.
Speaker 3Well, is the realm.
Speaker 2A repeat commenter yeah, oh okay, yeah well, I thought, I thought that he and.
Speaker 1I made up One night. I texted him for a long time and I just kept going, man just trying to explain and just going hey, man, just take it easy. And finally I was like man, this doesn't feel like it's getting anywhere. I don't even know your real name, so he gave me his name, he's like nice to meet you.
Speaker 2Oh, so you know the Realm's real name, I do but I don't feel like I should share it. I don't think you should, you should not I can't believe you texted him.
Speaker 3It was an Instagram comment. Were you watching?
Speaker 2it oh yeah.
Speaker 1I was watching the whole thing. I kept typing smart-ass comments and deleting them. I wish you would have gotten.
Speaker 2You could have backed him up a little, you don't?
Speaker 3want to gang up on the realm, though.
Speaker 2The realm can handle it.
Speaker 1No, I was actually sarcastically Ganging up on Jeremy.
Speaker 2That's even better, oh man.
Speaker 1No, I was like trying to quote like FFH lyrics. I was all kinds of stuff. I mean I was out of control.
Speaker 2You know what would have helped, that is, if you knew any.
Speaker 1I could probably pull back a couple. Yeah, don't, though we don't need it.
Speaker 2I forgot to lock the dog in her cage. Do you think we're okay. Well, I mean she's doing all right. I saw Winnie made an appearance down here a second ago.
Speaker 1She did, she was fine, it's pretty amazing that she's not trying to get on Jennifer's lap, but she probably will here in a second, vince DiCarlo Hi.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know if I did text you, but we do, since you haven't listened to an episode. We do a little check-in at the beginning, kind of like I do with the clients, just going, hey, tell me something you know, tell me how you are right now, let's check in, how's your body feel? And so, to shorten it, I've been going hey, why don't you name something that has made you smile over the past week, something that's made you happy, something that's made you sad, gladdened or saddened, did she tell?
Speaker 3you this I kind of said it 30 minutes ago, I didn't think of anything.
Speaker 1You had 30 minutes to think of one thing that made you happy over the past week, and one thing that made you sad.
Speaker 2Okay, all right, where do you get that? Move, drew. Why don't you go first? Okay, let's check in.
Technical Difficulties and Family Memories
Speaker 1Yeah, you both did, we both did. I love it. He's nervous about the cameras rolling because of last week. No go ahead, aren't you? Is that one rolling? I can't imagine. Why Is that one still rolling?
Speaker 2It's going, we're all good.
Speaker 1Yeah, what made me very happy this week was coming off of. What's making me sad is this mic cable that keeps popping.
Speaker 2Oh no.
Speaker 1Well, if we do have to, you know we do have, we can pause and put another one in yeah, maybe we should just reach behind you there, grab that one yeah, should we do that? Yeah, we can just keep rolling.
Speaker 2I'll cut, I'll make it yeah, there you go, because it is literally every time. Is it yours?
Speaker 1though. Oh yeah, well, let's get rid of that. I just popped that you want me to go.
Speaker 3That one's new, that's brand new that cable's brand new.
Speaker 1That cable's brand new Because I knew one of these was suspicious, but I didn't know which one it was Suspicious. Yep, that one. I'm a problem child here. Yeah, I don't know how much that was getting on our quarry. I don't want to take the risk, well, and you know we didn't really talk about much so Well, that's kind of the vibe. You really like that smart list vibe, don't you?
Speaker 3hey, you want to put one in your cage well, yeah, but they're also professional actors and comedians like smart list is a great podcast.
Speaker 1Look, it's Drew's reference. He's the one that said that we should pattern this after Smart List. No, I think that's a good idea.
Speaker 3It would be weird if you thought they were funny. It would be weird.
Speaker 1Well, actually my mother-in-law is very funny. She's annoying as heck, but she's very funny. Oh, shoot, that's on there, isn't it? Yeah, oh, dang it.
Speaker 3Are you going to keep this in? She's gone.
Speaker 1No, I'm not keeping it in, but I have it just in case.
Speaker 3Okay, we have it, some anti-meme-y content.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, we did a lot of. We were just kind of we're, we're just kind of getting into it there. Man, it is a huge difference for me recording in the afternoon as opposed to the morning. Yeah, why I just have more energy in the morning oh yeah, I have a ton of interesting things to say today I've got a uh, I've got a nice Gen Z quiz coming up. A quiz 20 Gen Z words, that other generations don't know.
Speaker 3Oh my gosh, I'm not going to know them. Oh my gosh, Don't say them. I may know them.
Speaker 1There's someone here I'm like.
Speaker 3Do I not? Is it going to be weird if I know some of them? Are they weird words?
Speaker 1No. You'll be fine oh no, no, none of them are dodgy. Okay, I think I was in number two, like nothing stopped nothing.
Speaker 3Camera okay, good, good, good we'll just keep because that'll give me what do you edit in brightness, kind of down from here.
Speaker 1I don't know. I mean, I don't want to touch it, but I don't know he hutch looks perfect, check one, two. Why are you not plugged in check?
Speaker 3check. Well, never mind, check one, two, one, two, one, two. I think she has enough battery it'll dim if you're low on battery.
Speaker 1Sometimes is that any better?
Speaker 2oh yeah, fixed it I have my charger cable, if you want, fixed it. Fixed it. Get that out of here. He's fixed. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3I love hibiscus tea.
Speaker 1Nothing.
Speaker 2Sweet.
Speaker 1Bang on the table all you want I hate feeling constricted.
Speaker 3I want a bang on the table, dang it, Dude.
Speaker 1We got to talk about a newsletter. I got some ideas. Is that what you wrote down? Yeah, hey, we're back everybody. You may have noticed a little bit of a cut there. We had to replace a cable before we got into the what's Made you Happy, what's Made you Sad, and Drew's taking notes so far. We're going to be working on a newsletter. You might want to work on spelling. It's N-E-U-S Nuss, Nussletter. That's a W. It's the German spelling. Baby. You want to go first? What's?
Speaker 2gladdened you?
Speaker 1What has saddened you?
Speaker 2What has gladdened me? Give us just a glimpse what has saddened me. What has saddened me, Okay what is gladdened me. I need you to be playing something behind me.
Speaker 1That's what we should do. We could have Hutch underscore.
Speaker 2Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1This is saddening me because I want you to answer.
Speaker 2Son of a biscuit. Okay, made me happy was my baby's leading worship together.
Speaker 1Yeah, but you didn't even go.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2I don't go, didn't even go.
Speaker 1Just the thought of it made you happy.
Speaker 3This is the one night it probably would have made more sense for you to be there than not.
Speaker 2That was really. The reason I don't go is because I think it'll make Sadie nervous.
Speaker 3She sounded great. Yeah, she's good. I know her stage presence is great.
Speaker 2He played, got to play with him.
Speaker 1Do you play guitar? I was in the band. No, I was playing keys. Didn't even have a mic. All right, tell me something that made you sad.
Speaker 2Well, it's sort of weird to talk about with him here, just thinking about my babies growing up.
Speaker 1Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot this week and it's made me very sad.
Speaker 2Wow, yeah, I feel that. Yeah, it's like because we were buddy. Do you remember when you were little and sadie would do something stupid and you and I would look at each other like you would look at me, like kids. You know what I mean, am I right? You always did that.
Speaker 3I mean, look what you have to deal with.
Speaker 2I know sadie say something crazy, and he'd just look at me like, oh mama, what are we going to do with this one? Yeah.
Speaker 1And now you get on his nerves.
Speaker 2Oh well, sure, but it's just that person I've been telling I told him about this this week is gone. I mean like he's gone, I mean he doesn't.
Speaker 3I don't know about that.
Speaker 2No, but that kid is no more, that little baby.
Speaker 3We killed him.
Speaker 2That little baby hand, little baby face.
Speaker 1I have a little tree ring thing I'd like to take you through Just to prove to you that he's still there. What?
Speaker 2I'm saying is he doesn't remember a lot of the things that you know, and so I'm the only one that remembers, and it's just sort of sad.
Speaker 1Yeah, you also don't remember like I've gotten some texts. I'm going to kill your effing kids if you don't get home here.
Speaker 2Sure, I'm not.
Speaker 1Oh, like from her.
Speaker 2I do remember that. Sure, I'm not saying I don't remember that.
Speaker 3That's why that kid is no more.
Speaker 2You killed him. Remember that kid we were just talking about?
Speaker 1It wasn't you, nope, that's great.
Speaker 2Hey, that's probably not good in the microphone. I don't know if you've done this a lot, but chewing on a lifesaver in the microphone probably not a good idea, almost done.
Speaker 1What about you, Hutch? Something that's gladdened you, something that's saddened you?
Speaker 2You want a lifesaver too. Yeah, something that's gladdened me. Uh, all the, all the music this week.
Speaker 3All the stuff you're doing. You've had some good stuff happen. I had some great stuff, met a lot of awesome people. Dirty loops dirty loops was good. It was too loud, though. I mean the opener. They had their moog up like volume 11, and I was in front of the sub. Just not tell him what you said to me when you came home and I was in front of the sub, just not.
Speaker 2Tell him what you said to me when you came home.
Speaker 3What did I?
Speaker 2say you said you were worried that it was damaging you. Oh, it felt dangerous. The amount of bass.
Speaker 3I was front and center, Literally literally up against the barricade at Dirty Loops and the opener's sub bass was Like horrible. That makes me sad.
Speaker 2Glenn was so angry. Where did they play?
Speaker 3It was Cannery Ballroom, yeah.
Speaker 1Wow, I'd love to see that they're amazing.
Speaker 2Their band dynamic is really fun. You know what, when you were in my belly and we were playing shows, I stood in front of the drums. I literally would like I was so worried about you being in front of the drums. I remember asking the doctor he's like he's fat.
Speaker 3It was loud with my earplugs on Saddened you that saddened you?
Speaker 2No, that was just one thing.
Speaker 1I wasn't even going to say dirty loops. What about the saddening?
Speaker 3part Scrolling.
Speaker 1Yeah. Yeah, same I don't know Doom scrolling. Following your mom on Instagram.
Speaker 2No, no, I don't do that. He doesn't do that. No, that would really make him sad. I love that it did. I don't anymore, then you blocked her.
Speaker 3I'm sorry. I didn't block her at all. She's all my close friends. You just muted her. I just unfollowed you, it's easier. I'm sorry, it's easier.
Speaker 2He's so disappointed in me.
Speaker 1It's a rollercoaster in there.
Speaker 3It's something.
Speaker 1What about you, drew? What made me very happy was I went to Easter Mass with my family oh yeah, I saw that and had zero responsibilities, sat with them, enjoyed it, and my parents were in town. They went cool and yeah, going to church together, sitting there and participating, receiving, leaving, not being the last one to leave enough to turn the lights off and having no not doing 30 services over six campuses and two weekends and all that stuff it was great, how nice you went to one service. To one service.
Speaker 2And then you got to go to lunch.
Speaker 1It was beautiful Went to lunch. Well, I had some stomach issues, so lunch was not as fun. Oh, bummer. That was the sad part of my week.
Speaker 2The stomach Just being a little under weather.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, a little tum-tum issues.
Speaker 2You should tell me I can send you some frequencies. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1I thought you just had constant frequencies heading my way I didn't know they were shut off.
Speaker 2Yes, they shut off. It's a thing. I'm not going to keep it rolling.
Speaker 1Oh, why not Just keep? I need it all times. It's a constant frequency. That was mine. What about yours? It's funny, I warned you guys about this and I didn't think about mine. I have to say, you know, I tried to play a cool ass night but it was really fun. It was really fun backing up Hutch and Sadie it. And then you know him seeing dirty loops at canneryery, which is where Jennifer and me met, that's right At a Rich Mullins concert in 1994. Here we are in 2024. My kids are playing gigs. I'm disappearing into the background. I love it.
Speaker 2You're like Bart Simpson going into the bushes.
Speaker 1Yep, pardon, I'm Bart Simpson into the bushes, not.
Speaker 2Bart who's the dad? I'm Bart Simpson Into the bushes.
Speaker 1Not Bart, who's the dad, it's Homer Homer.
Speaker 2Homer going into the bushes Just.
Speaker 1That's. I'm happy for you. That's wonderful, thanks. No, that is a Great reference. Thanks, it's a highlight. Also, you know, saddening me. You know I've talked about this On this podcast before I am. You know this am, uh, you know I this, you know, running an nonprofit doing the business, all that stuff. I just don't like doing that. You know, contract labor was easy. Go play music, come home, you know this. Uh, we we've had some over the past week.
Speaker 1Some people be really generous to our non-profit and underwrite some artists who couldn't normally pay for their care and it kind of came out of the sky and I love that and it's great being the recipient. Recipient uh explanation point explanation point, but also I just the terror of not knowing. I you know, that's just the business. I love it, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Which brings us back to when are we at on time Nutcracker.
Speaker 1Where are we at on time? I don't know. We made an edit, so 30 minutes on here, but we took some time off, all right.
Speaker 2We did, we took a little break.
Speaker 1Around 43% of Gen Z people have been diagnosed with anxiety. 56% are overweight or obese.
Speaker 2That's why we brought you on here.
Speaker 1We've been meaning to talk to you. Yeah, sorry, it's an intervention.
Speaker 2Intervention of your weight.
Speaker 3I'm not anxious at all, so I wonder which one You're obese?
Speaker 1Well, that actually, I mean, that's a lot of people.
Speaker 2I didn't, I wasn't paying attention. That's a lot of people to be stressed out.
Speaker 1There's a lot of people to be stressed out. There's so much that you said to me the other day that made me want you to hey keep up. The group has moved on to the next exhibit.
Speaker 2Can I look at the paper, I guess? Alright, go on.
Speaker 3You're not supposed to have those. He's cheating.
Generational Anxiety and Present Moment
Speaker 1Oh, I'm not allowed to have that I think the notes are a one-person thing, so the other day you said in my vast podcast experience here and you're refereeing, calm down the uh, the thing you said the other day, that like I didn't say anything to you but I was like you said, instead of going, I'm anxious or I've been having it. You said my anxiety. You kind of like owned it, like you like it's like, like I might say my MS like and and I mean I, I knew what you meant, but I was like man, how many like. I can't imagine when we were kids, even the language of my anxiety.
Speaker 2Oh no, you know what I mean. Like, but you can't be a person his age without having it, am I right?
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't think that's a rare thing to say.
Speaker 1Do you feel like it's something that you are, or are you sometimes anxious?
Speaker 3I don't know, probably the second one.
Speaker 1Just sometimes anxious.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't think it's something you are. It feels like something that does happen to you a little bit though.
Speaker 2But what about you personally? I'm only saying me personally oh, your eye is red, okay oh my gosh I just saw it which one your left, one, really, you know how your eye gets red.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's my right one, that's your left. One, honey, that's your left the one that always gets red is my left one oh no, this one that is red is left I'm pretty sure the right one usually gets red Well this one's red so here's my question, because when I was doing a Google search of this, when you type in Gen Z, the next thing is anxiety.
Speaker 1Really, what, the what, so what was our thing?
Speaker 2Oh. I felt very anxious.
Speaker 1But I'm saying this is the first time I can remember a generation being defined for like and you've got Gen Z's in your house Zoomers, Yep, Like. Their generation is defined by worry. It's that, John Mayer song.
Speaker 2I mean, is it defined by worry, just because that's what comes up on Google search?
Speaker 3Doesn't mean it's defined. I mean that's an indication of something. I mean that's an indication of something.
Speaker 2But don't you think our generation was pretty worried about war, and you know bombs and stuff too?
Speaker 1I think how accessible information is has made everyone worry. That's what I'm wondering. I didn't have a constant daily download of anxiety-inducing content every day. I mean even the news. Like I'll have Jamie turn it off, I'm like I don't. They're reporting on things here in Nashville that are happening in some other part, small town in another state, just because it's awful Because they need content.
Speaker 1I do not need to know that. Like, give me the weather, Give me some big world news stuff, but it's just like but see, they're not watching the news and this is why I wanted you to come on. Well, we get the news. If I could ask you like, when I say you, I don't mean you personally, I mean like your group.
Speaker 3Because you told me, like your friends, they're all like. My therapist says this, my counselor says this. Like, what are you guys worried about? I don't know. Just in general, I think, if you're like talking about the news.
Speaker 1We're just over-informed. Maybe now, but I don't know. What are we worried about? Yeah, like what is the anxiety?
Speaker 2I don't know, You're speaking for a generation. It just is.
Speaker 3Let me just speak for everyone my age under and slightly over. I don't know, we're just worried, I'm just worried.
Speaker 1If you thought I seemed worried and you were like, daddy, what are you worried about? I could probably tell you I could be like yeah, well, I'm kind of worried that I'm not gonna, whatever, but you guys have this like free-floating thing. I just wondered if you knew what everybody's worried about yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3Not knowing what we're doing, not knowing what I'm doing, I feel like we have our sort of existential war stuff, but it's more like well, some of it is like nuclear war, but not really. It's kind of just no, I don't know. Nobody knows what they're doing.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing but do you guys like talk about the war in ukraine? Hardly yeah, you don't talk about like hamas no, no, that's only for instagram you did watch the putin interview I did.
Speaker 3I felt like I should for mama, no, for just to know what happened just to be informed yeah, I mean, I feel like I thought a ton of people would be talking about. I haven't heard anything about it no one talked about it. Nobody talked about it I was like I feel like I this is feels like a big thing. I should probably watch it just to have my own perspective. And then I didn't hear about it anywhere.
Speaker 1I didn't see it, I didn't know about it.
Speaker 3It's really boring. I skipped through a lot of the second half just because it just go on First act was better. It's pretty crazy that they're just sitting down talking, so I figured I should watch it.
Speaker 2A lot of people have interviewed Putin over the years. I guess. It's not that, really that crazy, but I guess right now during war.
Speaker 3I feel like he's been elevated more to like this big bad.
Speaker 2Well, we could figure out why that is?
Speaker 1I have a theory. You want to hear it.
Speaker 2Sure.
Speaker 1I mean for sure, I don't know. We have much.
Speaker 2I mean, you're too old for that. No, that's your gospel For theories. I'm too old for theories. No, for speaking for Gen Z, but whatever.
Speaker 1No, I know, but that's why I just have a theory, that's why I can't say it for sure. But if it's true that peace is in the present and anxiety is future worry, and this is potentially the least present For me I had no idea what my friends were doing growing up, unless we were in the room together. Yes, oh true. So we're in an age and this is not just gen z, this is everybody.
Speaker 1we're in an age that everything around us is constantly pulling us out of the moment. So I'm wondering if we were able to somehow get back to quiet and stillness and in the moment. But you think about?
Gen Z Vocabulary and Social Norms
Speaker 1every social media platform pulls you out of the moment I mean just every like now we have, at least when I was growing up, there were there were moments or longer seasons of time, longer periods of time where we were present and then we got distracted and pull out of the moment. Now it's the opposite. Now there's almost our whole lives. We can not be in the moment in little pockets of time. Yeah, I look, I think about my daughter as a senior in high school. It's rare for her to slow down and long enough to be in the moment. She's her work and school and theater and all the things she's doing. Go, go, go, go, go. Like. Sometimes I stop her and be like, hey, can you just be here, like. And then when she is home she's resting up for the next thing, so she's not actually being present. I'm sleeping waiting to go and do the next deal.
Speaker 1So, I don't know. Just a theory. I think that's the hum. Of anxiety is we don't know how to be present anymore.
Speaker 2That feels right.
Speaker 1That's so true, I see that yeah Well, I feel like this might be one of the first generations where the default is not actually like quiet, like we had to add stuff to our life to make it noisy. These guys, how would they make their life quiet?
Speaker 2I don't know. It's crazy. That's a good point. We had to pretend things. The thing is, it's not their fault, you know what.
Speaker 1I mean Like that's. What bothers me is that you know, you hear this. These kids these days, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2I'm like no, no, no.
Speaker 1We're giving them this world Like. This is the world they're inheriting. We made it for them.
Speaker 2Yes, we did.
Speaker 1I agree with that. What were you going to?
Speaker 2say, the millennials gave it to them. You are. Why don't you shift that blame?
Speaker 1You're a millennial 42 is a cutoff.
Speaker 2I just am saying a lot of. Those are the tech people that made the social media stuff. We were too old to even know how to do that crap. I'm not saying we don't have a problem.
Speaker 1It's my fault. It's my fault, my bad, it's his fault.
Speaker 3I'm sorry man. Let's not let it happen again. That's why we brought this together.
Speaker 1Tell me if you think this squares. Gen Z is defined by their love of sustainable, ethical and socially responsible. Does that feel right Defined?
Speaker 3by their love of things sustainable.
Speaker 1Sustainable, ethical and socially responsible companies. I don't know if they're defined by companies, but sure. And also says. Instagram says that 63 of gen c respondents say are they single and not going to change that 60 of gen c.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's crazy three percent um, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2You're single and ready to mingle.
Speaker 3Well, I don't know about mingle, I'm just kidding. Definitely single.
Speaker 1That was really funny to me, that whole little moment there.
Speaker 3You're single and ready to mingle?
Speaker 1I don't know about mingle. I'm not trying to mingle, take note of these five things that are big no-nos for people of this Gen Z generation, as noted by Instagram in its new survey Number one, chewing with their mouth open Big no-no.
Speaker 2Number one no-no for Gen Z Really Well, I know it is Is Sadie Gen Z. Yeah, because that is a big no-no for her.
Speaker 1Yeah, my kids roast me about that all the time.
Speaker 2Number two it makes her want to cry. Like she to cry, I hate it.
Speaker 1So I think it's well. Maybe that's where the anxiety is coming from. It's just close their freaking mouth when they eat. It's like according. According to this, if gen z has one message they want to tell the world close your mouth.
Speaker 3Close your mouth when you eat. Close your mouth when you're eating and, in general, what if that was it?
Speaker 1that was it. That's their message. Second, is you bad taste of of humor or taste in memes? Memes, bad sense of humor or taste in memes. That's their second.
Speaker 2Not memes.
Speaker 1I'm just editing his spelling now. Dirty fingernails is third.
Speaker 3Wait a minute, this is all subjective stuff. This is.
Speaker 1Instagram survey. This is what Instagram survey is. That's as scientific as it gets Instagram survey.
Speaker 2This is what Instagram survey is. That's as scientific as it gets.
Speaker 1Here's what I'm saying is who says they know what a good sense of humor is and what are good funny memes. I'm just saying Instagram did a survey.
Speaker 2I feel like you took that role. Personal, I do.
Speaker 1Instagram did a survey and these are the four things that are most important to Gen Z as their biggest no-nos. I understand.
Speaker 2Can you understand? Let's do them at once as their biggest no-nos. I understand.
Speaker 1Can you list them at once, okay, first, chewing with their mouth open. Second, a bad sense of humor or taste in memes. Third, dirty fingernails. And fourth, the other person using a baby voice Really. Yeah, okay, I feel like they use baby voices?
Speaker 2What?
Speaker 3group. I mean all that stuff's pretty annoying, but what group did?
Speaker 2they Do, you have fingernails, I mean well.
Speaker 1I mean who?
Speaker 3loves any of that. Fingernails are pretty, I mean guitar player fingernails. Oh yeah, you're out on that, can't do that.
Speaker 1All right, let's do some Gen Z vocabulary, because I think this is. You may hear these words in your house. Yeah, I probably do so I'm going to say the Gen Z word and you tell me if you think you know what it means.
Speaker 2This is only for Hutch.
Speaker 1Well, you guys, okay everybody.
Speaker 3Are you going to know what they mean?
Speaker 1Yeah, here we go, we'll see Pookie.
Speaker 3Don't know what that means.
Speaker 1Pookie. Anybody know? Know, pookie, I don't want you to say it either way, it's a little snack.
Speaker 2No, it's the nickname for your best friend, that's your pookie.
Speaker 1Oh, that's cute little pookie, yeah you're pookie, so I like that uh, simp, I've heard yeah, I know what that means.
Speaker 3What is it? It's too well. It's more of a say a guy who doesn't hang out with his guy friends staying with his girlfriend yeah, it's when a man is overly submission to his woman.
Speaker 2That's got that word Before bros.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. The example sentence though I don't even understand this literally says guy simping her Instagram applies and she doesn't even notice. I don't know.
Speaker 2That didn't feel like. I feel like you're talking in another language.
Speaker 1I know Third Riz, let me know what that is.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, yes, I knew you were going to. That's like being good at hitting on someone. Charisma yeah, I think it's just shorter for charisma.
Speaker 2Okay, you're right. Should it also be like aka douchebag?
Speaker 3I think douchebag's out no.
Speaker 2I know, but like it's not the same.
Speaker 3I don't think Riz has a negative. Riz doesn't need to be rude.
Speaker 2It's not negative. It just means you've got charisma.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think so yeah.
Speaker 1I think so you can Riz somebody up too.
Speaker 3Honestly.
Speaker 1I wouldn't know, though, coquette. Do we know what a coquette is? A coquette Coquette. What is it? A coquette Coquette, yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2What do you think it is? I have no idea.
Speaker 1Coquette is mainly an aesthetic based on reclaiming girlhood and embracing a fun-loving, bubbly personality.
Speaker 2A coquette was also like if you had a character in a movie. She could be the coquette character.
Speaker 1Oh, okay okay.
Speaker 3So that's not a new word. That doesn't describe what it is. It's on here. But I'm just saying, that's how it was kind of like a oh no, you did describe it Never mind Yeet.

Speaker 2You are hitting on the number two of that list. That is really bothering you, I'm simping. Look at him. Look how annoyed he is no no. Of the top four things that get on the list.
Speaker 3I think you trying to define these words is a part of the humor, that you know what I mean.
Speaker 1I'm trying to do a service to our listeners, okay, that's why I have you on here.
Speaker 3I think they're going to yeah.

Speaker 3Oh, that is.
Speaker 1I think that's pretty neutral flag.
Speaker 3So it's not a red flag or a green flag, it's a beige flag, meaning it's kind of like good or bad, just a fact about somebody.
Speaker 1If I go. Do you want Chipotle for dinner? You could go. Beige flag. No, it's more like if you're talking about a person and you're saying oh, that's a red.
Speaker 2talking about a person I tried to use it in a sentence and you're saying oh that's a red flag About a person. Okay, so right.
Speaker 3Some random fact that's pretty neutral, is a beige flag About someone. So it's about a person.
Speaker 2Yes, it's not about Chipotle.

Speaker 2Oh, that is true. I don't think that's true. You're such a Heather. You are such a Heather.
Speaker 1That's what I thought it was because they called my second daughter called Grace, a Heather.
Speaker 2She's such a Heather, oh interesting. Man that is the opposite of being a Karen.
Speaker 3Can you imagine having? Yeah, it's a name Okay.
Speaker 2Can you imagine having the name Karen or having the name Heather? How different your experience walking through life telling people your name would be. Well don't we.
Speaker 1I feel like Karen's having a legitimate Complaint Not stigma Like a prejudice, not a stigma. What?
Speaker 3would you call?
Speaker 1it Stigma, but like If my name was Karen, I would 100% change it and go buy something else these days, If it's derogatory, if someone's saying you're such a Karen.
Speaker 2I kind of feel like Karens ought to be like hey, this is like.
Speaker 3Karen lives matter they are Well, oh boy, there is that merch. Oh there is Karen lives there. Literally is Karen lives? I think yeah.

Speaker 2Oh Barbie.
Speaker 1Personally, I thought Barbie was mid.
Speaker 2That is insanity.
Speaker 1If Margot Robbie's mid.
Speaker 3That's not talking about Margot.
Speaker 2Robbie, specifically, it's the movie, it is too, how about? Barbie. The movie was in another one.
Speaker 3Talk about no caps Barbie is all over. Barbie had some really great parts though the movie.

Speaker 2I really love that Billie Eilish song.
Speaker 3It's great. Which one is it? What was I made for?
Speaker 1It is so good I can't remember if I've heard it. I'm sure I've heard it. It's so good yeah, she's so talented, her brother my gosh phineas man ridiculous talent great um, what were we just saying, that we kind of we got distracted, but barbie, oh, we were talking about mid margot robbie, we were talking about karen's oh and, like you, are a jennifer, but's not really fair. Well, but it doesn't seem derogatory, though. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2Like what is it?
Speaker 1oh, this, yeah I mean it's yeah, but she's a white.
Speaker 2Blonde haired white girl.
Speaker 1Like black girls, call her Jennifer's Right. Isn't that the?
Speaker 2deal. Well, I heard that from one black girl.
Speaker 1Well, she might have just been Calling you by name.
Speaker 2She said that all her friends and you've heard all these from one- gen z again. No she said that all her friends in college would say oh, she's just a jennifer talking about girls I feel like I have heard that yeah, I mean yeah, but it doesn't seem like it's a karen it's not the same as having the name karen. That name's been hijacked, yeah, it's so not fair.
Speaker 1Like you have any I can tell you what's not going to happen Is we're not going to know any Karens in 10, 15, 20 years.
Speaker 2Absolutely not. Well, how many do you know baby Karens right now? I don't know.
Speaker 3Imagine that would be crazy.
Speaker 1That feels like a really derogatory statement for a child, like they're a baby, karen.
Speaker 2Like they're colicky.

Speaker 3She became a Karen. She did, she lived up to her name. She's going to go into a supermarket and scream.

Speaker 1Yeah, you want to tell me how good I look and rub my shoulders. I'm in, okay. I am your jam All right, I want to end with this. This seems exhausting. I know that the two of you are going to be like. This is going to give you immediate sort of sympathy for Gen Z. How to talk to a Gen Z girl? The number one thing acknowledge their diverse background.
Speaker 2Oh, dear, god.
Speaker 1Number two respect her side hustles. Where'd you get this list? You can cite your sources Number three encourage her social activity online. Number four support her human connections. Number five encourage her to learn about new technology.
Speaker 2Oh, that's kind.
Speaker 1So explain her basically.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Number six you try to give her feedback as quickly as you can. And number seven you respect her wishes to own a home and a car. That's how you talk to a Gen Z girl.

Speaker 3That is insanity, According to some adult guy. On what list? What Look?
Speaker 1this is according to the internet.
Speaker 2This is the internet. This is Google.
Speaker 1He's wanting you to cite your sources, let's cite that source, but like a girl's gone, okay, this is what is important to me. When a guy talks to me, I want him to acknowledge my diverse background Side hustles and I want him to respect my side hustles.
Speaker 2What are their side hustles? Do these girls have lots of side hustles?
Speaker 1Maybe their selfie game, I don't know, I have no idea.
Speaker 2Maybe they're also on OnlyFans Do you even know what OnlyFans is?
Speaker 1I know it's something about butts. All right, Isn't it Kind of I mean? Butts are included. I thought it was pictures of butts. Maybe, I don't know what it is it probably is, isn't it, I think?
Speaker 2it's just like you. I just know that anyone can post on it and make money.
Speaker 1That got me. Anyone can be a porn star. That got me, it's pretty much just a.
Speaker 3It's like, I think it's a social network where you pay to get into someone's profile. Look at how dumb Hutch knows what it is. I think you just have to pay to watch someone's profile, like any social. I think you just have to pay to watch someone's profile, like any social network.
Speaker 2you just pay to get in, so they can put whatever they want, but what's on it? But it's all about butts, right?
Speaker 3I think a lot of times that's what they use it for, but I don't think it's specific to butts I thought it was no it's not a butt specific.
Speaker 1I thought it was only butt pictures no and things it's not for the record I've never been on only thing I can tell you.
Speaker 2You sure I can tell you, it's I don't know. I promise I don't know what it is, supposedly none of you, I thought it was a sports betting thing uh, just the articles. I love it. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1It is very funny the other a couple podcasts ago. We were talking about drew. We're talking about when we gave our sons the talk or whatever, and I'm not going to take you through it. But I said yeah, I said after you had kind of had enough, I said, okay, now here's your phone yeah, you're ready for porn.
Speaker 3Pretty much all I remember from that conversation was that phone, so well it was, but you learned from the book I gave you oh my gosh, did you?
Speaker 2you don't want to be homeschooled because you'll get the same book we also talked about. I hope not the tampon, tell us talk. Oh my gosh, yeah tell him what you thought it was I don't remember what did. I think maybe I thought it was popsicles in the car, pretty much the same packaging as like individually wrapped popsicles you guys thought I was hiding popsicles in the glove box, not refrigerated.
Speaker 1Every morning she goes out and puts a little stash just in case.
Speaker 3I was like man.
Speaker 2I would love like an orange popsicle right now but mama keeps some secret in the glove box that that's hilarious.
Speaker 1You know what's funny? That car they're talking about that was probably the coolest car we ever owned, but she couldn't run the air conditioner because it made this high-pitched sound.
Speaker 2No, you're talking about. No, you're talking about I couldn't run the heat. No, because remember they said mama, we hear the bird sound. Oh the bird sound and the hot smell.
Speaker 3There was a really high-pitched fan squeak that we couldn't handle Another thing too.
Speaker 2And the hot smell yeah, that's another Gen Z annoyance.
Speaker 3Okay, that's a real thing, though you know they put those. Yeah, Tinaway.
Speaker 1It's called Tinaway, it is.
Speaker 2Yes, to Tinaway, to Tinaway At some of the shopping.
Speaker 1at some of the strip malls in Irvine they install this high pitch sound to keep teenagers from congregating. It's called Teen Away, wow.
Speaker 3It like pulses every few seconds. We couldn't hear it. It's like 18, 20 K, like really high pitch that's wild, I think.
Speaker 1Maybe it's higher than that. I don't know, but they could hear it. It's high which makes you sad for Winnie and Fritz. Maybe it's higher than that, I don't know, but they could hear it.
Speaker 3It's high which makes you sad for Winnie and Fritz. I mean, they must have been dying over there.
Speaker 1That's true, I think 20 is low and there's a pet hospital right there.
Speaker 2That's so true. There were so many dogs and cats, yeah but isn't that crazy.
Speaker 1Teen away, teen away, cues up. We need. You get some of that.
Speaker 2No, I want teen attract.
Speaker 1Teen attract, teen attract. It kind of sounds creepy, but you're in scary.
Speaker 2I don't mean it that way, but I would love for them to bring their friends over Good thing you're a woman, you're not a teen anymore.
Speaker 1Not a teen anymore Out of there, you know, a guy cannot say I want teen attract. No, that would not.
Speaker 2I want Tina Turner. No, that wouldn't work.

Snacks, Snacks snacks, snacks probably snacks and a hot tub. But according to this, they'd have to be healthy and sustainable, and that sounded creepy too, and ethically that's the worst. I didn't mean it. Creepy what?
Speaker 2a hot tub. I didn't mean that creepy, oh gosh. No, I didn't. I think I'm your target demo.
Speaker 1Here's what I'm saying. Drew attracted. That's an hot tub. I'm down. What?
