00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:09.310
Hey everyone, welcome back to Brother Sister, whatever, the podcast where we tackle life growing up and all the weird, wonderful and sometimes cringey stuff in between.
00:00:09.310 --> 00:00:10.111
I'm Josh.
00:00:10.672 --> 00:00:11.554
And I'm Lisa.
00:00:11.554 --> 00:00:19.367
Today we're talking about a topic that's guaranteed to make you laugh, cringe and probably say wait, did we actually say that?
00:00:19.367 --> 00:00:20.562
That's right?
00:00:20.562 --> 00:00:28.568
We're talking about slang, specifically how it's evolved from when we were kids in the 80s and 90s to the words our kids are using today.
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.549
But first it's time for our favourite segment, the weekly.
00:00:32.549 --> 00:00:40.020
What if this one's going to get your imagination going?
00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:45.130
What if you woke up tomorrow in a completely different decade, past or future?
00:00:45.130 --> 00:00:47.314
Which one would you choose, and why?
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:49.104
I would go back to the 90s.
00:00:49.728 --> 00:00:49.908
Why.
00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:52.125
Because that was my decade.
00:00:52.125 --> 00:00:54.529
It just the music.
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:56.405
You were at like your happiest.
00:00:56.906 --> 00:00:58.220
Yeah, like it.
00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:07.356
Just you know that golden age of like you're figuring out who you are and everything around you just clicks.
00:01:08.578 --> 00:01:24.879
You're happy, you've got great friends, you're having fun, like to me that was the 90s, yeah yeah, that's awesome I would go back to that decade hands down for me, I think, um, I think it just automatically has to be the past.
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:30.323
I think, uh, the way, the way the world's, I don't even want to look at going to the future.
00:01:30.323 --> 00:01:58.953
See, I'm know, I'm, I'm probably, I have to say, I'm probably my happiest right now, believe it or not, like in this era, um, or decade, I guess.
00:01:58.953 --> 00:02:09.385
But if I had to, yeah, I, probably, I, probably, I, I miss my 20s, some, some I miss, some I don't, but I miss the experiences.
00:02:09.385 --> 00:02:15.490
Then, you know, like the commercials, even though we hated them, everything is now, now, now.
00:02:15.490 --> 00:02:26.836
So for me, even going back in the 90s, or even even early 2000s, I don't think it was as cuckoo as it is now with the now, now stuff.
00:02:27.176 --> 00:02:28.177
Absolutely not.
00:02:28.177 --> 00:02:30.746
Yeah, we definitely had to wait for a lot of things.
00:02:30.746 --> 00:02:37.669
There was a lot of like, I feel, like our growing up we had like a lot more imagination because we had to.
00:02:38.411 --> 00:02:40.140
Well, yeah, we had to wait for everything.
00:02:40.140 --> 00:02:40.502
You know what I?
00:02:40.521 --> 00:02:40.662
mean.
00:02:40.662 --> 00:02:43.265
It was like boredom leads to imagination.
00:02:43.265 --> 00:02:44.829
There was a lot of boredom.
00:02:45.409 --> 00:02:46.251
Yeah, so true.
00:02:46.551 --> 00:02:49.475
Okay, so you would pick your twenties.
00:02:50.116 --> 00:02:52.981
Yeah, so I guess that makes me what that's two decades ago.
00:02:53.163 --> 00:02:53.462
Yeah.
00:02:53.462 --> 00:02:58.713
So so 2000s, 2000s, yeah, okay, why specifically that one?
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.590
I mean, I'll be honest with you, I I know it's about the decade, not necessarily about my life.
00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:07.054
I don't really remember much.
00:03:07.253 --> 00:03:07.534
Yeah.
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.688
So that's probably the decade I at least remember Like Bitcoin.
00:03:12.688 --> 00:03:13.811
What the hell is Bitcoin?
00:03:13.811 --> 00:03:28.155
Okay, and you know like just Like where really things really started to like resonate with you and yeah, Not that I have any regrets, but to be back in that decade, I definitely would have done things a little differently.
00:03:28.155 --> 00:03:35.250
And how many people would say that now, right, Like had we known that this would happen?
00:03:35.699 --> 00:03:36.846
Okay, but here's the thing.
00:03:36.846 --> 00:03:54.262
So I picked my decades just purely out of love for a lot of the stuff that was going on in that decade, but I didn't factor in if I could change things, because I don't think that's really what you're supposed to be doing, like.
00:03:54.262 --> 00:04:05.251
If you, if you, it was based purely on what decade you would like to go back to, to revisit, not necessarily to change well, I have that does that change your answer at all?
00:04:05.692 --> 00:04:08.003
Well, yeah, I would change it drastically.
00:04:08.003 --> 00:04:16.627
That's why I had to improvise, because if it would have been no answer, so it would have been a pretty short weekly.
00:04:16.668 --> 00:04:17.009
What if?
00:04:17.009 --> 00:04:24.901
So your answer is based on the fact that you can go back and change it pointfully now, and if you can't go back to change anything, then you don't have an answer.
00:04:25.202 --> 00:04:25.403
Right.
00:04:25.744 --> 00:04:27.728
Okay, so then can I go back.
00:04:28.309 --> 00:04:29.130
No, you're not allowed.
00:04:29.130 --> 00:04:31.543
No, I'm kidding Go ahead Go.
00:04:31.704 --> 00:04:37.822
So then, if I were to be able to go back and change something, what decade would I pick?
00:04:37.822 --> 00:04:57.250
I would probably pick believe it or not, and I'm not copying you my 20s as well, although for me it would be a slightly different, it'd be late 90s Just because I feel like my 20s were such a blur of random shit and nonsense and what the fucks Like most 20 year olds.
00:04:57.250 --> 00:05:01.504
Yeah that I would love to go back and kind of reorganize myself a little bit better.
00:05:03.007 --> 00:05:06.101
It's funny how but I'll still, I'll stick with my nineties though.
00:05:06.281 --> 00:05:09.632
It's funny, though, how we start thinking about that as we get older.
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.002
Oh, of course, and I.
00:05:11.403 --> 00:05:14.290
I hate regret, so it's really not about regret.
00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:25.966
But it's funny how we would you know we think about those things compared to like even at least for me, even in my thirties, I wasn't thinking about you know versus like, I don't know.
00:05:25.966 --> 00:05:29.329
Like 40 did something to me, you know it really did.
00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:34.333
It's almost like a part of my brain opened.
00:05:34.692 --> 00:05:35.954
It's midlife, Josh.
00:05:35.954 --> 00:05:40.976
Yeah, I guess you know, but it's like something open or the medication is just really good.
00:05:45.961 --> 00:05:47.725
You know that could also be it right.
00:05:47.745 --> 00:05:53.076
You know the medication is just so good that like it's opening up pathways in the brain, you know, maybe.
00:05:53.076 --> 00:06:00.507
Okay, well, that was interesting conversation, all right.
00:06:00.507 --> 00:06:16.271
So today we're going on a time traveling tour of lingo how every generation has its own language, what it says about the culture of the time and how hilariously out of touch we feel when we try to keep up.
00:06:16.271 --> 00:06:18.163
What do you remember about the 80s?
00:06:18.163 --> 00:06:23.213
Because you were born in 84, so probably not that much, very little.
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:24.822
I literally remember.
00:06:24.822 --> 00:06:28.350
I mean, was Park X the 80s?
00:06:28.670 --> 00:06:31.663
Yes, Okay so where we lived school.
00:06:31.663 --> 00:06:39.466
I know that you had mentioned in past episodes school Park X, not really, we went to so many different schools.
00:06:39.466 --> 00:06:41.211
You did, yeah, I did yeah, you did.
00:06:41.459 --> 00:06:45.245
I mean, I was in so many different schools, I don't even remember why I did.
00:06:45.245 --> 00:06:45.526
Yeah, you did.
00:06:45.526 --> 00:06:46.916
I mean, I was in so many different schools, I don't even remember why?
00:06:46.937 --> 00:06:47.319
But I remember, I do.
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.392
I remember we were like back and forth everywhere, yeah.
00:06:53.302 --> 00:06:55.149
I think they were just trying to find a good fit for you.
00:06:56.663 --> 00:06:57.668
I was one of those kids.
00:06:57.668 --> 00:07:00.107
No, you were not one of those kids.
00:07:00.588 --> 00:07:01.149
The 80s.
00:07:01.149 --> 00:07:03.627
Okay, so then, what about pop culture?
00:07:03.627 --> 00:07:03.788
Then?
00:07:03.788 --> 00:07:07.201
Think of it instead of our childhood.
00:07:07.201 --> 00:07:08.043
Think about pop culture, or trends.
00:07:08.064 --> 00:07:30.331
I remember skaters being huge yep, totally tubular, like very surfer language yeah, yeah, you know, and like the pop culture with like movies everyone was so, you know, like horror movies and like you had like these horror buffs, I feel like, yeah, you know it still exists, but it's like not the same thing.
00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:36.872
Do you think that way because maybe you're just not in it as much anymore?
00:07:36.872 --> 00:07:39.928
Yeah, maybe Like you're not exposed to it as much Like back then.
00:07:39.928 --> 00:07:44.603
We just it was all about the fun growing up, right, like what else did you have?
00:07:44.603 --> 00:07:49.754
Movies, friends, tv shows like Saturday morning cartoons, all that stuff.
00:07:49.754 --> 00:07:51.240
So we were like in it a lot more.
00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:51.922
That's true.
00:07:52.601 --> 00:07:53.283
You know, yeah.
00:07:53.283 --> 00:08:00.958
But I do agree that Now, versus when we were growing up, it's a very different concept.
00:08:00.958 --> 00:08:05.197
Like ads, commercials, like you were saying, is like foreign.
00:08:05.545 --> 00:08:06.910
But yeah, to your point.
00:08:06.910 --> 00:08:08.634
Remember TGIF?
00:08:08.634 --> 00:08:13.216
We would all get together and sit down for this.
00:08:13.216 --> 00:08:17.396
Now we can binge it whenever we want.
00:08:17.396 --> 00:08:18.750
For me, it's like Thanksgiving.
00:08:18.750 --> 00:08:22.988
Thanksgiving makes me think about the past.
00:08:22.988 --> 00:08:32.552
Like well, we can't have Thanksgiving every day, right, you could watch the show every day and the specialness goes away.
00:08:32.552 --> 00:08:35.357
Yes, versus, like Thanksgiving is Thanksgiving.
00:08:35.357 --> 00:08:45.913
So it's like that one supper, that one big meal, and like and that is what I kind of am reminded of it fades with all the technology we have now.
00:08:45.913 --> 00:08:49.554
You'll have one person in their room watching a show.
00:08:49.554 --> 00:08:53.556
Then you'll have another person on their iPad watching their show.
00:08:54.285 --> 00:08:55.845
You'll have someone watching a movie on there.
00:08:55.845 --> 00:08:58.480
Don't even get me started on that nonsense.
00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:59.384
Yes, I agree.
00:08:59.445 --> 00:09:04.498
Without getting too off topic, I just feel like you know, even though I don't I was born in 84.
00:09:04.826 --> 00:09:06.030
Yeah, the 80s were kind of.
00:09:06.125 --> 00:09:12.546
Yeah, I guess I'm probably blurring 80s and 90s together, you know, in some ways, Okay.
00:09:12.605 --> 00:09:16.917
so some of the lingo, the actual things that they said, like gag me with a spoon.
00:09:16.917 --> 00:09:18.629
Do you ever remember that?
00:09:18.629 --> 00:09:19.894
No, no, okay.
00:09:24.225 --> 00:09:24.826
Bog gag me with a spoon.
00:09:24.826 --> 00:09:25.369
Do you ever remember that?
00:09:25.369 --> 00:09:26.714
No, no, okay uh bogus rad.
00:09:26.734 --> 00:09:27.395
You know all of those words.
00:09:27.395 --> 00:09:28.339
I remember those, even in the 90s.
00:09:28.339 --> 00:09:31.990
Yeah, well, it kind of like trickles in and then like yeah, and then evolved in some way.
00:09:31.990 --> 00:09:36.399
1980s for me was all about like et footloose.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:43.109
I think those were the only two movies that we were allowed to watch, actually, so probably why I remember them really well.
00:09:43.109 --> 00:09:46.397
Music was like Madonna, oh well, I mean.
00:09:46.397 --> 00:09:49.634
Oh well, michael Jackson yeah, you know it was.
00:09:49.835 --> 00:09:50.537
Tupac.
00:09:51.119 --> 00:09:52.102
Tupac was 90s.
00:09:52.102 --> 00:09:53.505
Okay, you're blurring the 80s and 90s.
00:09:53.525 --> 00:09:55.168
Oh see, yeah, for sure I'm blurring again.
00:09:55.248 --> 00:09:55.668
So that's.
00:09:55.668 --> 00:10:02.458
For me, it was the 80s, let's take it into the 90s then, tupac yeah, I'm just like grunge came out.
00:10:02.458 --> 00:10:09.477
I think we had very different musical tastes well, yeah, you were totally alternative totally alternative yeah.
00:10:09.477 --> 00:10:21.293
I was even it's a little bit of heavy metal and you were rap rap mixed in with that reggae like snow, yes, and so on.
00:10:21.312 --> 00:10:23.754
You know I remember at least in the 90s.
00:10:23.754 --> 00:10:29.899
You know I used to be, but you know I was so just in awe over Ross.
00:10:30.941 --> 00:10:32.442
Yeah, you know who was our cousin.
00:10:32.682 --> 00:10:39.653
Yeah, who was our cousin A little bit older, like a year older than me, so seven years older than you, and you know.
00:10:39.673 --> 00:10:58.513
so everything he did or everything he listened to was like golden it was golden, you know, so I would hear snow blasting yeah like the whole street would hear it yeah, because he lived right across the street from us exactly so he kind of really influenced your musical tastes I would probably say so.
00:10:58.633 --> 00:11:00.057
Yeah, he probably doesn't even know this.
00:11:00.057 --> 00:11:02.833
If he ever listens to this, he's probably gonna be like no shit.
00:11:04.986 --> 00:11:05.947
Okay, so that's music.
00:11:05.947 --> 00:11:07.751
90s movies.
00:11:07.751 --> 00:11:15.971
There was a lot of cult favorites like Mallrats Chasing Amy, like Kevin Smith movies.
00:11:15.971 --> 00:11:30.285
Unfortunately, though, I was a little bit older when I watched those see again cult following right like they started off, as like little shit movies that nobody watched, and then but oh man, I loved those dogma.
00:11:30.346 --> 00:11:46.972
They were so yes uh what amazing movies yeah clueless was by far the biggest movie yeah there was like the whole whatever and loser and as if and all that stuff right yeah so I I definitely grew up on that, did you?
00:11:47.514 --> 00:11:52.208
yeah, a little bit, and like what late 90s we had, like music wise, like what.
00:11:52.208 --> 00:11:58.729
I think that's when the backstreet boys came out, no, uh, yeah, it was late 90s like 96 97 something like that.
00:11:58.749 --> 00:12:03.817
yeah, back the boy bands were big, although New Kids on the Block from the 80s into the 90s were also.
00:12:03.857 --> 00:12:04.639
Oh my God, yes.
00:12:04.865 --> 00:12:16.918
Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, all of those like female singers that really just killed it with their songs.
00:12:16.918 --> 00:12:18.019
What about you?
00:12:18.961 --> 00:12:19.600
Music wise.
00:12:19.861 --> 00:12:21.889
Yeah, so Snow.
00:12:22.110 --> 00:12:35.028
we've already discussed that no, crisscross tupac, we brought up for sure I mean, I was like a huge fan jc was I was never a big starting, then right, yeah, yeah but I was never a big jay-z fan.
00:12:35.028 --> 00:12:37.230
Oh, I was a very much.
00:12:37.230 --> 00:12:53.721
Oh see, I might be blurring, though, into the 2000s, like D-Block Dre, method man, red man yeah, like you know, even some of those movies that they did, red man and stuff Late 90s, early 2000s, Eminem.
00:12:53.721 --> 00:12:55.691
Yeah, yeah, that's it, eminem.
00:12:55.711 --> 00:12:57.506
you know, eminem how can we forget Eminem?
00:12:57.506 --> 00:12:59.850
Now I'll be honest with you.
00:12:59.850 --> 00:13:05.477
The 2000s in my life it was like a shit show around that time.
00:13:05.477 --> 00:13:15.351
That was like my early 20s In terms of pop culture and stuff.
00:13:15.351 --> 00:13:16.979
It was not my decade.
00:13:16.979 --> 00:13:25.552
I'm really finding it hard to find anything that really stuck with me in that decade, so I'm going rely on you a little bit more.
00:13:25.572 --> 00:13:26.696
Oh boy because you were in your teens.
00:13:26.696 --> 00:13:33.114
One of the big ones that I remember was peace, that's how we all say goodbye.
00:13:33.114 --> 00:13:36.346
So it would always be props with our fist and it would be peace.
00:13:36.346 --> 00:13:43.303
So that was like a huge thing around that time okay, I have a question for you, bro.
00:13:43.364 --> 00:13:44.787
Was always a thing, was it not?
00:13:45.769 --> 00:13:56.470
no, no no, no, okay, no I think bro came out like after jersey shore like we're talking like 2010, 10 ish.
00:13:56.470 --> 00:14:07.774
Yeah, I think around, you know, we'd say things like what up, like W-A-D, yeah, what up, you know, and then when Scream came out, it was what's up.
00:14:08.154 --> 00:14:08.576
Oh my gosh.
00:14:08.576 --> 00:14:12.655
Well, the first Scream came out in the late 90s.
00:14:12.655 --> 00:14:14.671
That was also a cult following.
00:14:14.671 --> 00:14:16.532
It kind of grew over the years.
00:14:17.085 --> 00:14:18.966
Yeah, look how many Screams there are.
00:14:19.126 --> 00:14:19.407
I know.
00:14:19.807 --> 00:14:21.109
You know, it's massive.
00:14:21.328 --> 00:14:25.052
So now we're getting into the last decade, 2010s.
00:14:25.533 --> 00:14:25.932
Mm-hmm.
00:14:26.813 --> 00:14:29.817
Some of the things that they said Lit Salty.
00:14:30.557 --> 00:14:30.878
Mm-hmm.
00:14:31.498 --> 00:14:34.860
Throw shade Okay, this is what I didn't, this one I didn't know.
00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:38.248
On fleek no me either.
00:14:38.248 --> 00:14:43.518
No, basic, yeah, okay, these are all what words that I've recognized.
00:14:43.518 --> 00:14:54.693
It's like all of a sudden my brain woke up from the my 20s into my 30s and I'm like oh yeah, okay I'm back movies, anything that sticks out jurassic park which one like?
00:14:54.714 --> 00:14:59.109

00:14:59.109 --> 00:15:00.110
Oh shit, really.
00:15:00.130 --> 00:15:04.018
Oh my God the very first one was from the 90s.
00:15:06.065 --> 00:15:07.783
See, this is what happens when you have amnesia.
00:15:07.802 --> 00:15:09.447
You know Everything is just a no.
00:15:09.447 --> 00:15:14.248
This is what happens when one day you wake up and you're in your 40s and you're like where the fuck did my life go?
00:15:14.248 --> 00:15:16.474
Jesus, oh my God, Okay, so movies, Jesus.
00:15:16.474 --> 00:15:24.336
Oh, my God Okay so movies Okay, maybe not specific movies, but definitely the awakening of streaming.
00:15:24.336 --> 00:15:28.091
Oh yeah, hulu's Disney Plus later on in the decade.
00:15:28.091 --> 00:15:30.017
But Netflix was a big one.
00:15:30.544 --> 00:15:33.326
Netflix started in 2010, was it Listen.
00:15:33.466 --> 00:15:34.793
Netflix existed.
00:15:34.793 --> 00:15:42.701
I mean, that's how we lost our job In the 2000s, exactly, but then wasn't there something about like how Blockbuster could have bought them?
00:15:43.283 --> 00:15:45.432
I remember that and they didn't, and then they went under.
00:15:45.432 --> 00:15:48.043
We were working at Blockbuster when we heard that story.
00:15:48.043 --> 00:15:50.972
That they could have bought it and they didn't.
00:15:50.972 --> 00:15:52.196
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:52.504 --> 00:16:00.538
So like the 2010s was like the death of old school, yeah, whatever it's true.
00:16:03.745 --> 00:16:04.628
And then the introduction to streaming.
00:16:04.628 --> 00:16:08.118
We skipped from vhs to cd dvd, I mean oh yeah we completely.
00:16:08.118 --> 00:16:09.160
When did that even happen?
00:16:09.181 --> 00:16:11.950
I don't know cassette to cd walkmans.
00:16:11.950 --> 00:16:17.087
We used to walk around 90s walk around with nanos, yeah, nanopods nanopods.
00:16:17.087 --> 00:16:20.136
And then uh, now it's on your freaking phone.
00:16:20.136 --> 00:16:44.947
You have everything what was before nanopod, the cd player, no, yes, the c, the cassette, then the cd player, then the nanopod you sure I'm pretty sure there isn't something in between cd and nano I don't think so remember napster yes uh, where you would download music, yeah, and then when they came out with the movie about Facebook, Social Network.
00:16:44.947 --> 00:16:45.490
I think it was.
00:16:45.684 --> 00:16:47.229
And the freaking Napster guy.
00:16:47.229 --> 00:16:49.937
Justin Timberlake was playing the Napster guy.
00:16:50.325 --> 00:16:51.589
Speaking of Justin Timberlake.
00:16:51.589 --> 00:16:56.692
