- This is the best news interview we have ever seen! Good Day Spokane anchor Nichole Mischke interviewed 110-Year-Old Flossie Dickey on her birthday. What did we get out of this? Flossie likes to nap.
she is on 1% battery, I can relate to that and I’m 90 years her senior, so I don’t blame her 😂 girl just wants her coffee

I'm dead!
It creeps me out how people treat the elderly like babies.
+Sledzeppelin We come into this world the same way we leave it: Crapping in a diaper and having to be fed.
I get that vibe too and try to be careful not to be condescending. It's hard because many times elderly people's hearing has deteriorated, but they aren't babies and they can certainly understand you.
Agreed.
+Sledzeppelin Yes, it is sickening. My Nana is in her mid 90's and has dementia and I may have to repeat myself a hundred times, but I refuse to use silly tones of voice or to use '' little kid '' speak . They are still the same person, and deserve the same respect they were always given.
+Sledzeppelin I know a guy who does it to foreigners. Even in their own country. Embarrassing to watch.
Imagine being 70 and thinking your times almost up, but instead you live 40 more years. That’s so long!
Im 30 but I already only wanna take naps
Turn my lights out at 60 please... Long enough to accomplish a few things, feel most of the effects of old age, and see a grandkid or two.
I am the Senate you wouldnt be devastated you’d be dead
@@allidoiscry4119 you're a kid compare to a 110 year old
Some days i wake up feeling like Flossie and i'm only 39
Reporter: You seem like a very busy lady!
Flossie: 😐
That me of course.
bc they prob dont visit her so how would she be busy
😂🤣😂

she would have been like 6 when the titanic sank, are you an infant?
hell she's the one that dropped the blue stoned locket in the ocean.

Flossie is an actual mood.
"I don't fight it, I just live it."
🤣🤣🤣
_I feel rather flossy today._
That's pretty Gangsta.
"You caint kill me I'm a bad b!ch" xD
I find myself becoming more and more like Flossie every day.
Long live Mark!
What a name flossy dickie sounds like a porn movie 🍿🎥
LMAO.

"You must be a VERY busy lady!"
*silence*
CLASSIC LOL
Numba1 Heathen IKR AHAHAHAHA
Techincally, she does nod her head 'yes'.

*sips tea*
holy shit, she has lived thru world war 1 and world war 2, bloody amazing
+Nina Williams She's seen people go from using horse-drawn cars, to automobiles, and now there's self-driving cars.
it isn't that amazing since there wasn't much of a war in the US
+Nina Williams and now she has to sit there and listen to idiots talk at her for a news report
And she was alive when the Cubs won the World Series
Lol
“I am tired.” Yes Flossie, so am I 😩
"She's a jokester"
Bruh don't lie she just wants off the ride already. Me too, Flossie, me too.
Real talk. 😂
Why are the news people talking to her as if she were 5 years old? Flossie should have tossed that mug in the reporters face.
"I don't fight it, I live it."
"Well people she doesn't fight it, she lives it."
Yes thank you I have ears.
I noticed that too. and she talks to the other woman about her and not to her.
Sits next to the woman, yet covers her up with a newspaper to shows she's there. Great journalism.
I completely agree!
haha
I thought the same thing!!
I was thinking the same thing lol
+Ben Tarr
Yep
I've worked in senior care for the last six years and have yet to meet someone over 100 who is stoked about it.
Flossie Dickey is literally the biggest mood of all time...
Flossie lived through the birth and death of TV journalism, as demonstrated here.
Lol. That is the truth!!
dead.
I bow to your mastering of the internet.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
you can tell this 110 year old lady was no fool, i wonder did she even want that interview? Please dont treat older people like children, sorry to learn Flossie has died R I P, bless her.
On the bright side...she can do what she likes for all eternity....nap!
this woman outlived her 84 year old daughter if you live to 110 theres good chance u could outlive your children because if u have child before 30 and live to this age your child would be 80
Let's be brutally honest here, she wanted to go. She was taking that many naps in the hopes she didn't wake up...
On another note, I agree with not treating old people like kids, that interviewer was so condescending.
She wanted to die just saying
@Always Here That interviewer was being condescending (not maliciously). She could just talk to her like a grown adult instead.
Flossie grew up working on her dad's farm, got her first job washing dishes at 12, then got married to a 30 year old man at 15. She had it rough for a lot of her life. RIP Flossie.
Oh yeah she had it so rough that’s why she lived till 110 lol
A 30 year old man and she was only 15? That’s disturbing. Poor Flossie.
@@AGoodHairDayIt is, but it was certainly very normal to marry very young back in those days, and leave home and have children.
@@AGoodHairDayI’m sorry it was 100 fucking years ago. Cry me a river

Noooo!
"I'm 80 years old. I still don't know what to do with my life. I'm so pathetic."
Flossy: "Please, honey. You're just a kid. You got your whole life ahead of you."
Lol
She is gone rip.
Crazy to think that the 80 year old would of been a baby when she was a grown woman
Hey bro, its been 2 years, I hope you are still alive and doing well
@@DerekGeorge-xw9it Thanks man
I'm doing better
It's still a struggle but have my head above water
It's so hard to watch this because you can sense how awkward the reporter feels, and you can sense how miserable Flossie is. At 2:53 when the caretaker started talking about Flossie, it sounded like she was talking about an animal being transferred somewhere. Are you kidding me?? God bless Flossie, I saw in some of the other comments that she passed. I hope she's kickin' it in Heaven 💜
:(
She has a face and demeanor that says "Why won't I die?" Living to be that old shouldn't necessarily be what you strive for.
Yes, honestly it's quite sad. My grandmother is 93 now and had been saying for a few years now that she just wants to die.
Isaiah Poe jesus
Christopher Rapczynski I know, quite depressing.
I would never wanna be that old. If i make it to 75 or 80 ill be ready to go. Lol
My mom worked home health and I went to work with her lots and the people she cared for become like family. Some old people in there 90s loved life and don't want to die and some hate life with a passion. I asked one son of a 98 year old woman mom cared for why she was so against life cause compared to many her age my mom took care of she was in good health and walking. He said she was always a negative person and hated life and everything in life . She was the kind of person saying she wanted to die if the mail came late. It's kinda ironic that someone who was so negative about life living that long. The funny thing was she loved mom to death and hated most everything and everyone else.
Tbh she looks good for 110
She’s cute af! 🦔
Her face hasn’t collapsed on itself. She looks about 80.
ISHAAN CHETRI No way does she look 110, she looks around 80, she barely has any wrinkles also for her age.
Not a day over 100!
I would've thought maybe 80.
As someone who helps the elderly in a facility similar to this every day, this video was an emotional rollercoaster.
Agree. I wanted to smack tf outta that reporter. Patronizing her, baby talking her. Which is a huge no no!
@@rell4474 ;C
I love how she’s just sitting there drinking her cup.
I bet is tea. Lol
Reporter: What is the secret for living so long?
Fossie: Take a nap
Take as many as i can
lol she's like leave me the fuck alone....
right lol my hero
Thats just how Flossie was sometimes I'd come in at night and she'd be crying. Worked night shift at the cheney care center.
DesmondCreighton so fucking sad. you can see it all over her face :(
Serious question: Do you think some people (like the ones you may have worked with) simply lived too long and would be better off just dieing?
OMG this is just such a wonderfully awkward trainwreck
"All my friends are dead. Just let me die." I was expecting to hear that.
NomadOne33 no her silence did better
She looks young asf for 110 lmao not a day over 95
Lol totally
She actually looks more like 80.
Lmao
+il100374 LOL
there isnt much difference between 95 and 110 tbh
I would hate it if I've lived for over a century and people on the news are speaking to me like I'm a kindergartener. Flossie is freakin awesome.
Didn't catch that at all. But hey, you go ahead and keep finding reasons to be upset.
:(
Holy cow yu’r comment is literally 8 year old!!
Lmao I like how her quote was that she literally doesn’t fight dying and the reporters were saying it like it was some philosophy for living a long life
I wander what her family is doing, and still watching g this video.
1:31 "Are you excited for your party!?!" Flossie: "Not...one....bit..." As an introvert, someone told me they were throwing me a party, I was feeling as dead as Flossie was
I don't blame her, you can tell that this woman has been through some rough shit and then to still have to withstand being with the reporters. God bless her beautiful soul
Rough shit? Her wiki article says she had a pretty peaceful life with her hubby and kids and ducks and chickens.
I don't think she's been through some crazy events it's just that living up to such an old age can be extremely miserable.
Both world wars I mean..
She just old and can’t even keep up with what going on around her
She has gone through 2 world wars, the Great Depression and influenza pandemic. I’d honestly want to be dead too.
she lived through both world wars and is older than sliced bread, the internet, computers, and telephones
shes not that old, phones were invented 1841 -,-

I love the slow zoom on her emotionless face at the end.
Reporter: Flossy how were you able to live to 110 years old?
Flossy: Just live brah
Flossy loves a Nap ,pie ,whiskey and her quote is "I don't fight it,I live it"..That's thug life ✊🏻
lol
plus her names flossy

How is THAT "thug life"???

she died november 2016 a few months after this

Doing it yourself is always an option

at 110 this lady doesn't have the time or energy for stupid questions lol
Flossie is amazing and inspirational! May she rest in peace 🕊💘💞💖🥺

She looks so sad, or she's lost all the
Muscles in her mouth to smile, fucking queen, slaying the game
I mean shes probably outlived alot of her family, maybe her children are dead and so on. It would also be pretty miserable being stuck in there all the time because you just don't have the energy to do anything and everyone treats you like a child even though you've lived 3 times as long as them. I think alot of people are quite disrespectful towards the elderly without even realizing it.
This is absolutely hilarious - RIP Flossie! I appreciate your love of naps and have taken up the same hobby myself :)

That moment when you realise that your grandchildren have grandchildren.

DON'T FIGHT IT!! LIVE IT!
BuckHollywood My new slogan

Holy shit. This woman is awesome
When you think about it, it's kinda sad. You grow old and you're children just throw you into a nursing home. In most other cultures this is unheard of, your parents stay with you and your siblings until they die, you might keep them for a year or two then your sibling take turns, or if you don't have the space, you send money to help a sibling that does have them in their home, a nursing home is the last resort, when you're broke or homeless, but other than that, sending them to a nursing home is a disgrace.
You guys are trying to be cute in the comments saying she "doesn't give fu*k", but why is that? Because, instead of living with the kids she raised and loved, and seeing her grand children grow up in front of her eyes, and having a strong relationship with them as well, she's stuck in a nursing home, just so she can get occasional visits. That's heartbreaking.
Since she's old she might not show as outward emotion nearly as much, but I garuntee you she's not happy with her children and doesn't want to see any of them, because this is basically an obligatory piece of shit party, you can't even bring her home or be around earlier, instead, you have some stupid reporter condescendingly interview her, just so you can show up for a day, then leave, and then visit her like once a week or maybe once every two weeks. American culture is pretty sad and lonely.
Tru
so?
It's the byproduct of the idea that adults who still live w/ their parents are complete losers. We see it get made fun of all the time ("Ma! The meatloaf!"). In other countries, it's not uncommon for three generations to live under the same roof.
***** No, that has nothing to do with it, because in this case, the parents are living with the children, who are already successful, and have their own home. It's just the difference in how each culture values family life and the elderly.
ChillsandThrills I'm talking about parents who end up being alone in their old age b/c their kids moved out long ago.
This is how I feel every day. I feel you Flossie.
I can relate to this so much and I’m only 29. Watching this as I’m getting ready to take a nap.
I hate when people talk about the elderly like they aren't there. The Old folks home lady was talking about her like she was a stray dog in a poundor something. Like literally they use the same journalistic format for Human Society Adopt-a-thons. ugh
I know right?!
It is annoying to see that woman being spoken to as if she is a 4 year old. That woman has lived it all and is wiser than any of you people. Ask her a question that no one else but her can answer, obtain knowledge from people like her. There is a reason why God has kept her alive for so long, and it is not to ask her how she feels and what she does to stay alive so long. I hope in her heart that she doesn't feel cursed with life, I see that she is so tired of it.
The elderly in our culture are always tossed away and ignored, and it saddens me deeply. She was 6 when the Titanic sank for crying out loud. Think about that. I'm done.
Leonardo Gomez please I've known people that are 100 and close to 100 and can still remember things, just because you are old doesn't mean you don't forget things, my great grandmother can still remember everything, you are wrong on this one
floosey dickey is not talking for the hole life and she was born in 1906
MercilessV You are right. From her perspective, the reporter just showed up to marvel at why she isn't dead yet and put it all on TV so thousands of viewers could do the same. All while talking to her like she's a kid. I'm 46 and can see the wisdom curve goes up with age. This woman is, no doubt, very wise and perceptive. Who knows what she is really thinking.
TITANIC WASNT SUNK, JUST SWITCHED WITH DAMAGED SISTER SHIP OLYMPIA (NAME ON WRECKAGE) FOR INSURANCE. PLUS THEY WANTED TO OUT THE BANKERS OPPOSING THE FED ON BOARD...KILLED JACOB ASTOR. TRUTH. SEE WHO "CANCELLED" TRIP LAST MINUTE, LIKE CHASE, MORGAN , ROTCHILD. WAS PRE PLANNED..
Erin yes im very studied in this area. i knew about the titanic, actually the 1st world war was for the rothschilds to get the "balfour declaration" so they could have a piece of palestine for the jews. ww2 was to move the jews into israel by using hitler (hitler was controlled by the rothschilds), along with other things like continue to put america in debt by always being at war!! the u.s. was a rich country before the federal reserve... theyre 20 trillion in debt in 2017.
That is the most badass human being I've ever seen. "I don't fight it, I live it." That's it people, the immortal has spoken!
+1000 points if she was speaking normally just before the cameras rolled, and then trolled them all with this comedy act.
Poor women. Had to watch the world go to shit.
lmao
absolutely.
She saw hitler in power and blacks discriminated against, I think the world was pretty shitty when she got here.
Right, because the world was awesome in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. Derp.
Damn the world is just a fucking awful place
I thought this was an SNL sketch, guess I was wrong.
Magikrazy me too
Cecily strong would play the reporter so wel
SNL did a skit on this after this video. but you probably already know that by now so...
The difference is this is actually funny.
@@CK-yj9xv I thought she looked like Cecily Strong
The beauty of old age is that you don't have to please anyone. Talk when you want, don't say anything when you don't want to. Say what's on your mind. Lol. RIP
But, like a child, you have fewer freedoms. My grandma killed herself by starvation in a nursing home because they wouldn't allow her to smoke, drink alcohol, or go home if she did.
"Not one bit", 😂😂 i can't

Compiled of nothing but slow ballads, mixtape was called Something to nap to Vol. 1
2:07 the awkward silence with the background music is perfect
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Flossie is awesome.
Apparently, the key to living that long is to not give a fuck.
damn...this old lady got some gangsta attitude...
This is hilarious....my great grandfather lived to be a hundred. I can tell you, he was just like this. Man of few words, in no big hurry to do anything. Just wanted people to leave him be.
Maybe it's rude to address her name Flossie like that. Maybe Ma'am would have been better
She probably prefers it and that's why they call her that.
What? Why? That's her name. You address people by their names.
Right.😂pft
I hate anyone calling me ma'am. Just ugh.
The desperation of that bubble-headed field reporter, and Flossie's unrelenting disinterest. It's perfect comedy timing.
The more I watch, the more I love Flossie. That poor incredible woman. Those "journalists" are being such abusive pieces of human garbage and inauthenticity.
+Nathan Kim but you can tell she doesn't want to be there and that the home is trying to use her (quite possibly taking advantage/manipulating her) as an advertisement/for free publicity.
+John Vicks wow. Sorry for your loss. I'm glad she made it for as long as she did.
OnceUponAPiano Maybe she was manipulated in to giving the interview. But who knows?
Commenting on what you said earlier, the reporter was doing her job. How exactly was she being abusive?
+Nathan Kim In trying to do her job (it wasn't her fault individually; I don't think she's a bad person) she was so obviously inauthentic, desperately shoving the mic in Flossie's clearly exhausted face and pushing silly crap like asking if there are any magical foods that can make us all like to 110. I was also referring to the journalists in the studio; they all were patronizing and condescending, and they treated her like she was mentally inferior.
+OnceUponAPiano Shoving a mic in her face? She was barely audible! Of course it makes sense to shove the mic in her face. How were the anchors being disrespectful?
Also, you said in your last comment that they are not bad people. Yet, you called them human trash in a previous comment.
Isn’t it funny how funny old people are without trying to be funny? Enjoyed seeing this although Ms Flossie only wanted to be left alone. GOD bless her.!!!
3:51. She’s like “Girl, if you don’t get your hand off me” lol. Flossie is a bad ass
If I had brought so many lives into the world and was forced to live in a retirement home, I'd also be pissed about that party. way to keep it real, Flossie. ✊
😂😂😂😂😂
If you put a lot of people on this earth and still end up in a retirement home is probably because you were not a good parent.
Nothing wrong with being in a retirement home.
There are lots of lovely ones.
I and many other people would not want children to have to spend time looking after me.
The key point in this regard is that you don't go into residential care until it's 100% essential.
My own mum loved it so much she said 'Nicky how the hell did you get me into this lovely place'...!!!!
It was a mansion house right beside her favourite park in her favourite city.
She got cared for well and I visited whenever I could.
We are not all rich enough to have big houses to house our parents and our children otherwise I would have looked after her myself.
When I tried getting her to stay she got a Taxi and left 😂
Don't blame her I had 5 children
Breh she’s 110 and it sounds like she was recently put in
but parents work hard for us the bare minimum we could do is look after them
That reporter reminds me of these sorority girls who volunteer to 'help' at Special Olympics, but the 'help' is that condescending help...that "Awww, you are sooooo adorable! " volunteerism.
I absolutely love Flossie🥰🥰
I wanna give her a big hug.
Flossie-Take a nap many times as I can 😭😭
When I’m tired I say I’m Flossie tired 😭😭😭 😴 😴

I couldn't help cracking up over this. The poor old woman was like "please someone kill me". Poor Flossie..haha
She is in a better places.
Let this lady NAP already!
maybe her children are bad
I don't know this lady but she seems depressed. Depression is a serious problem among the elderly. She certainly didn't seem into this interview. You'd think the station would have the decency to say the poor woman isn't up for it, let's come back another day. I'm sure she's thrilled that she made it through two world wars to spend her last years being laughed at by a bunch of airhead TV people and 13-year-olds on the internet.
+Nick Romo
you can die at any moment regardless of age
+R.D. Dragon umm no she is extremely OLD, you can't just expect people to put on the fake bubbly act for their entire lives especially at that age! At that age, you can finally pretty much do/act however you want (unless its illegal/immoral/unethical of course), for example, drink as much as you want, become a painkiller addict, sleep all day, tell everyone to F off, etc etc
maybe she is just tired
she wasn't forced, she looks like the wants the lime light.
R.D. Dragon she's a 110. Everybody says fuck it at that age. Nobody wanna live anymore.
This reporter needs an award
She had a perfect ending and then she asks this horrible question and Flossie’s answer is legendary 2:36
Relatable. I just want to nap too flossie
I can relate to this woman in so many ways
"Nap as many times as i can" awww
What a legend! Women we miss you flossie dickey RIP may you rest in peace and may you be happy forever❤️
So sad to hear the news today. RIP Flossie. Legend. Sleep well now x
Hello Natasha how are you doing and how is the weather over there with you
It's actually really crazy because she got to see both the world wars and she got to experience music change though mostly the 20th century. I just think that's amazing
I agree. I can only imagine having that much life experience.
Well, who knows what happends in the future? The generation now will see the world change too.
I would be annoyed too if the reporter treated me like a toddler.
Reminds me of how my grandmom will be. We were at a family party last year and a woman from the other side of the family came up to us and was like “oh you look wonderful! You look so good!” In a goofy fake voice. When we walked away my grandmom was like “why did she say that? Is she blind? I look like shit” 🤣🤣🤣.
"I don't fight it, I just live it" is my new life motto, THANK YOU FLOSSIE!!
