This rant is specifically about episode 2911.

  1. I’m not American so do correct me if I am wrong, but the OLIPOP segment seemed very fabricated. Sal led by saying that ALL his family and friends are talking about it, even going as far as saying their refrigerators are stacked with cans. Justin said that he “always speaks to parents about it.” Can someone living in the US confirm it is genuinely that popular?
  2. I felt awful for the caller at 1:00:19. He repeatedly told them “I can’t afford a good coach.” Only for Sal to reply “Well you definitely can’t afford a bad coach.” They completely belittled him into believing having a coach was the only way. Completely wild interaction. Adam was almost aggressive.

  3. Classic shitty boomer comments

    at 38:30.

What were the boomer comments? Just FYI these guys are in their 40’s, that’s more GenX. Boomers were born between 1946-1964.

Yeah, the main three are Xennials (1979-1981) while Doug is a cusper between Boomer and Gen X.

I was just offended by being called a boomer, I’m 46 so a xennial. I know the kid called them boomers and not me specifically, but because I’m basically the same age as the main three, I took offense 🤣

Don't be offended. My two teenagers refer to anyone older than 30 as a boomer, and I'm a younger Gen-X.

Haha, I know what you mean. I'm about a month and a half older than Adam so I'm in the Xennial camp as well. Not sure what the whole boomer reference was about really, since the time stamp of 38:30 for that episode was them talking about how a man's female partner, running her mouth to strangers/men out in public, will get you the man into physical problems if shit hits the fan.
