    I read Elizabeth’s book out loud to my daughter while she was in the hospital recovering from surgery (she is great). It was both entertaining and educational…my favorite kinds of books. And WOOT WOOT Caroline on 101 episodes. 🎉🎉🎉

      This video was so much FUN!!! Shout out to your sister. Nice to see her again. She keep it real👍. Bringing your youngest sister in on the conversation really cool. Loved her haircut. Fit her face perfectly. You never cease to amaze me. Your content is brilliant and hilarious at same time. GEN Z would leave anyone SOS (stuck on stupid). What a culture, however, "y'all" did a fantastic job enlightening us older folks 😂😂😂. This video made my day!!!

    I had a Gen Z coworker whom, during a deep conversation with me, asked me about my childhood. I responded with some trauma and how I overcame it. He replied, “dang, that’s a heavy lore drop.” I about hit the floor. 💀

      Bonus, he watched reality tv and called it “celebrity lore” meaning that he loved the conspiracies and gossip on the shows. I laughed so hard I cried during my shift. I couldn’t believe that’s how he described watching drama on tv.

    Goblin Academia had me in STITCHES, no cap 😂😂 BY THE WAY: An entire generation having vernacular based on a video-game-streaming platform (twitch) is wild to me. As a gamer, I've been part of the twitch community since 2013. One of the original twitch emotes--Kappa--is one of the original twitch mod's face, and using it became synonymous with "im fucking with you" or "i'm joking" like literally 10 years ago. Gen Z has shortened it to Kap (cap) or no Kap (no cap). The wild part is that this old lady has been using the EMOTE in the same context for a fucking decade and there are so many young Gen Z'ers who probably have no idea it originated on twitch as an Emote. Okay, rant over. LOVE you two and LOVE rude review 💜 xoxo

    Thank you for bringing back Elizabeth. I love her and I love you both together. I am a Gen X mother of two Gen Z's. I found this hilarious... and I recognise some of the language use. I have to say I love the Gen Z's. Like many of you Millenials, they often seem very self-aware/self-reflective or maybe it's just the ones I know. I think you missed the androgeny , gender play and gender awareness aspect of the Zs and the affinity with queer culture/ ideals ( again maybe just my experience.) Thanks for another fun video.

      I am also a Gen X mom of two Gen Z kids and many Gen Z friends - you are right - their approach to gender is revolutionary and breathtaking, but also very much hearkens back to us in the early 80s - one of my daughters has short hair and wears men's suits, like Annie Lennox. Both of my kids identify as queer and so do most of my young friends. I learn from them every day and I love them all. I think the best thing that Gen X did was make Gen Z :-)

    A lot of those words come from gen alpha. Skibbidi and gyat, off the top of my head.
    The work ethic thing is mostly because genz are young. Look at other generations, when they were in their early twenties, they probably were not employee of the month. The difference is that genz has no issue leaving a job if the environment is off.
    A lot of the slang does come from AAVE, and stan is from eminem but it was popularized by kpop (kpop stans, stan loona, etc)
    Seeing you with your two sisters does confirm that there are archetypes of sister trios: the somber one, the hyper one, the chill one.
