When you're 10, every day is a larger percentage of your life, when you're 40 every day is 1/4 that length by comparison. Every day blurs into the next faster and faster. :(
You quickly realize there are fewer days ahead than behind. So make each day count!
Yeah. 15 minutes was an eternity when I was a little kid back in stone age times
Also once you are out of school, you don't really get that same sense of time, because you have summer breaks etc, so when you are out of school and working time kinda just blurs as you said.

I'm 71. I was lousy at school, but I have been told that I have an unusual large number of personal memories. I have read that if something is traumatic, either good or bad, adrenaline can be released, and it can act to imprint a memory. I must have had a lot of trauma. Anyway, when older people pass away from natural causes, what the person experienced in his or her last years seems to have the most significance to the loved ones left behind. I look at my life as if it were a long mural painted on a wall with my childhood on one end, and my last years on the other end. All of the sections of the mural have approximately the same significance. It has gone by too fast.
I can't stop laughing. Parents have preached that forever. I'm 75 and it couldn't be truer, like everything else they forecast. You'll get over it. 😅
Ive seen a lot of hockey youtubers over the past 5-6 years but the less than 10k sub THG stood out the most and was the only one I never stopped watching over time. And that is because of you behind THG. You’re genuine, I love the insight of your life along with hockey (your 2011 cup final video) and you’ve always stayed true to what THG is about. Its amazing to see the numbers you have, sometimes I cant believe how many people you’ve reached.
P.S. I was loving this video, and then I got a 30 min iphone 14 pro ad based around Indian culture and it was AMAZING. Watched the entire ad, so hope that helps with the revenue 😂
This definitely stirs me up a bit. I'm about to be 27 and yet I feel like I've been grappling with a lot of this lately. Summer of 2008 feels like just yesterday, my first summer with an Xbox 360, playing Halo 3, going on bike rides with my grandfather, watching the entirety of The X-Files with my parents, buying my first rock album. It was all so distinct and new and different. I sometimes think how things were simpler when I was growing up during the mid-2000s, where you had just enough technology to have fun, but before social media made everything toxic. But what you can't appreciate is that everyone older than you feels the same way about the decade they grew up, why it was better and for their own reasons. Sometimes it scares me to think that time just keeps accelerating because then I know there'll be a day when I stop and realize I'm suddenly 60 or 70 or maybe even 80, and my time here will be finished, and while I don't think I fear actually passing, what I fear might be just not getting to do everything I want to before then. Everyone's life takes a different path, some people hit certain milestones in their 20s, others in their 50s. A mildly optimistic realist, my only hope is that I can hit those milestones someday, knowing I'm in no way guaranteed them. They don't have to come tomorrow, but I just hope at least that they happen. Probably the thing I miss most about being young is having no concept of how fast time really is and not being able to appreciate your own innocence. We always say when we're kids "I can't wait to be older". I even catch myself sometimes thinking "I can't wait to be living out on my own". I know the day will inevitably come and I'll be sitting there, wishing I could be home, go back, etc. I realize now that perhaps the thing I wish I could have back from being a child the most would be not being able to think too much. To feel that slowness of time, to be oblivious to the world, and to believe that everything will last as it is forever. You're told as a child that the world will have changes, but you don't have a concept of that because the few years you've been around, you've never seen any. Put some decades in the bank, and you can definitely admit that the world has changed during your life. If only our existence was a simulation on par with Groundhog Day.
Turned 40 this year. I identify with a lot here. Oddly, the one that hits home the hardest is the summer camp comments. I worked at a summer camp when I was 15, the year after I was too old to be a camper there. I had amazing experiences that summer. I did *not* go back the summer after, and at first regretted it, but then had what was an even more amazing summer, spent with the girl who would become my future wife. My life would absolutely have been different -- probably for the worse -- had I gone back again that summer. Completely random anecdote you probably didn't need, I realize. But the point is, I feel you. We're all experiencing this crazy stuff as we whizz by on this rock in space, and what you're saying resonates with a lot of us.
Cheers.
As a kid, a school year felt like forever. Now, a year is nothing.
Time does fly as you get older. '89 to '93 in my mind feels like a longer period of time than '93 to today.
As someone who watches THG a lot, your videos mean a lot to me for being still very young. I watch them daily and appreciate everything you record and post. Thank you! :) cheers to more years to come.
I've been noticing time getting faster as I get older for years too. It's very very true!!! Now 45 and mentally I still feel like I'm 20, but when I exercise now I'm sore for days!
I'm a 1994 baby (28yo) and this past year (2022) went by so fast for me, by far the fastest then any other year I've lived through.
I swear it was only like February not long ago, then winter rolled into spring, rolled summer, rolled into autumn, and then Christmas came out of nowhere and now it's all of a sudden the end of 2022.
Time goes by ALOT fastest when you get older.
I often find myself going back and watching highlights of the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals, because that was the first Finals I ever paid attention to when I was 9 years old.
These philosophical vids are amazing! It feels like I’m listening to my dad and best friend at once!
Born in 1970. I've had similar thoughts recently: aging happens gradually, and parts of us age at different rates; and I feel young-ish mentally most of the time, but definitely not physically. I joke with my teenaged nephews that when I talk about the technological change in my lifetime, I must sound like I'm 100. My first three computers lacked a hard drive--a TI-99/4A, a Commodore 128, and a first-generation 8086 IBM PC clone. My fourth computer, a 286, had a 40-megabyte hard drive, which would not have held one music album's worth of MP3 files.
I am literally 1 year a head of you. (Jan 1972). You are spot on. My hockey journey started in 1979. My first Kings game against the Flyers. I remember it like it was yesterday. Doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. Mind still feels young. Body disagrees. Happy 50 my friend. It’s not a bad place to be at all.
I am 40 in a month. Time definitely accelerates sooo fast
I know I'm late commenting on this, but I turn 31 in January, and it feels surreal knowing that college graduation was not quite 9 years ago/high school graduation has been a decade plus. Even though I'm fairly young in the grand scheme of things, where did time go? This vid really helps me out, so thanks a ton Shannon, for your words of advice as well as your videos!
I was born in 93 I’ve been thinking of this now with having kids
I’m 23 and am already starting to feel this lol I know I’m a baby compared to most people but from the time I was 13 to 18 felt very long while 18 to 23 kinda just flew by 😅
I totally agree with Jim's driving test on Taxi! I laugh so hard every time I see it.
The turkey episode on WKRP is also classic!
I had the same tune in my head for couple of years! Here it was "Same Old Lang Syne!"; by Dan Fogelberg (1951-2007)!
for me when I look back quite honestly everything changed post sep 11 2001, everything seemed to get darker. the quality of music tv and movies went down in general, people seemed more unhappy. my city kinda had a quick death post 9/11 everything changed so many places just stopped existing or slowly crumbled to nothing. I can go around to so many places here and think oh such and such was here loved that place, sadly it died in the 2000s
I turned 55 on Dec 20th ... seniors discount at Humptys ... lol
I definitely get what you're saying about time passing fast. Been thinking about that often for a while. In my 40s now😂 not helping when family members are all passing away
yeah time seems to fly, def the big advice i got early on was that eventually the body gets old in the 70s, so active hobbies should be enjoyed while they could be. I'm glad you're still using the treadmill and being active, that is very important to stay active approaching the 5-O. but don't be too discouraged by people calling you old at 50. 50 - 60 you can still be active and do physical activity. my dad even beat his college bench max at 48.
keep going man and keep up the good work. love your stuff
Great Jersey and Grats almost at them big 50 myself and feel the same as you.
Didn't expect to shed a tear watching a TEG/THG video... Love you Shannon
I am almost 52 and completely relate to everything you said in this video (not the need to have a channel but to leave some legacy of who you were as a person somehow)
I also agree with your take on Ignatowski and the driving test. Pure comic gold
I know how you feel, Shannon. 2023 will bring on the big 6-0 for me in August. And I completely agree, you don't really change internally and things that you love do disappear. I miss going to record stores and browsing all day!
1985 World Series? Ok, did Denkinger blow the call?
I just turned 50 and I totally can relate.
It's amazing how fast time goes by . I now know what old people meant now that I'm old
Great discussion….I use the measuring tape….hoping to have 80 inches (years) of quality life and here I am at 62 inches….time sure does fly….enjoy everyday the best you can….Happy New Year Shannon and thanks for all your great content!
After 31, life is like a roll of toilet paper. It goes by so fast.
The weirdest thing is my dad took me to that camp in hope last month because that’s where he had gone
I really need to deep dive into this back catalogue, seriously disappointed in myself that I only found THG/TEG about a year ago. It's fascinating to see how they have changed and stayed the same.
i love that i found this channel during the 2019 bruins run. you and yvonne are fantastic. solid people.
I certainly can attest to new experiences being helpful in terms of keeping my mind fresh. I recently went to Vegas a few weeks ago & I went to 3 casinos that I had not been to before or had not explored in detail on previous trips there. For example I explored in detail MGM Grand & found it to be absolutely awesome in terms of its size & the amount of things you can do there. I am hoping that my trip to San Jose/the Bay Area in mid February for a Kraken road game will be equally as helpful as I have never been to that part of the US before.
They say that you die twice. Once when your body gives out.
The second time is when your name is said for the last time.
I appreciate this sentiment much more now that I’m aging.
And Shannon, your legacy will ensure that your name is said for years.
According to an Astro Physicist that I heard in an interview, there is no Law of Physics that says "Time can't go backwards." They described time as fluid and it can flow forward and/or backwards.
Time dilation lesson.
“Did we just become best friends?!”
“Yep!”
Appreciate these videos, Shannon
Shannon ... I hope you and Yvonne and the kids have a great Christmas... I have 1 daughter in Ontario and my other daughter will be going to her in laws for Christmas supper ... so I will be watching thru your videos.. redraft/power rankings/career to pass the time
I'm 33 going into 34 in April. I don't feel like I'm in my 30's. The last decade feels like a blur.
This is one of the reasons why I love your channel/s!
I remember some pretty slow years in my 20s so its not a steadfast rule that it always gets faster.
I think I like this crowd better. Sometimes the hockey world is just a bit snooty. Try swimming laps. Running is just bad all around for your body. Or if you can incline the treadmill it will feel like a never ending hill which everyone loves.
Any tips and strategies for recapturing that feeling from your childhood? I'm finding I am feeling nostalgic like wayyyy too much, it almost feels like a mental illness. Thanks for touching on so many points that have been on my mind re: aging.
Traveling to places I have never been and doing new things seems to help with that childlike wonder.
Im born in 1974 so 100 percent time flies once ur in high school!
When I was younger time couldn't go faster, waiting anxiously for a day to come was agony and I would mark on my calendar the days to go. Now I can wait for those days because the less I think about it and keeping busy the faster that day eventually comes.
I’m Mcdavids age and it doesn’t feel like he’s been in the league for a while. He’s already got 762 points.
I’m already having those “in my day” moments with people
No shit time flies as we get older 52 this yr born when the nucks were born.
Tack
Agree 100% my life got better as I got older have a happy Christmas
Shannon, I’m 28 and it bothers me how fast the past 5 to 7 or so years have gone. And not just years but weeks and months. It’s a little scary but you are not alone in that in that perception at ALL.
And everyone today is in a really big hurry. Patience does not exist anyway.
so far, this year feels like a day, groundhog day, i'm a leaf fan.
I'm 10 years younger, and it all comes down to new experiences. If you do the same thing every day, your brain gets used to it, and ignores it.
Shannon, any chance you’ll be in Seattle any time soon? Would love to do a meet up.
Fellow '73'er. I totally get that it doesn't feel like we are going to be 50. How's that possible since I'm clearly 29?!?
1993 is going to be 30 years ago 😱
Thanks for the content, I love your Itchy and Scratchy jersey.
I'm hoping you'll reference the experiment that's been done casually and otherwise with people of various ages to try to estimate how long until a minute has gone by without the use of any clock. Younger people guess a minute's up after something like 30-40 seconds, whereas older people tend to let 80-90 seconds go by before they think a minute's elapsed and then they find out it's been longer than that. Add that up over a day/week/month/year and yes, that's the perception that time flies when we're old.
Love the sweater my guy.
An '80s Christmas song you may or may not know: ua-cam.com/video/ZYE7UJSA7k0/v-deo.html
What a great video, thank you just live each day
Hey Shannon have you ever thought about getting on testosterone replacement therapy? I feel like alot of people assume its only for people who want to be muscle bound goliaths and think of it like its steroids but it has alot of benefits with energy level, beneficial effects on bone density, strength and muscle as well as cardio protective effects apparently are also documented. I'm no doctor but maybe have a chat with yours and see what they say. From everyone I've ever seen get on it, they always seem to say they feel the best they have felt since they were a kid.
Really does seem to fly. :( Make sure to enjoy the time at hand.
Being nine years older than you, I can confirm your 50's go much faster than your 40's.
That jersey is great
Getting old sucks but it's better than the alternative!
What does a yellow light mean? Slow down. "What . . . does . . . a . . . yellow . . . light . . . mean?" #classic
Great Jersey Dude!
That's a dope jersey
Geez the first time you got black out was 30??! I was in 5th grade drinking my buddies parents red wine. It was pretty hilarious.
You're from Newfoundland? That's basically half way to London.
i here ya born 1965 57
I hate to be the bearer of bad news Shannon but the latest studies indicate that in terms of memory and mental sharpness there may be no actual benefits to physical and mental exercise and prior studies just had flawed methodologies that allowed the test subjects to get better at taking the tests.
Of course there are still many other general benefits to physical and mental health so I'm not saying anyone should stop doing exercises but it appears the decline of the human mind is still a mystery to us.
Ayyy my mother is 1974 and father 1977
What?
@@karanXd that is when my parents were born, boy
@@JawsHLL but your father is younger than your mom
@@karanXd yes
Shannon you should just lift weights hardcore and get jacked.
Nope
Only in my 30s but I appreciate this candid talk, hope you keep making new memories!
Yep, time blurs when youre about 10-12
21:30 and especially from 21:40 is Gold. I think it's social anxiety, at least on my part it was. I feel like a lot of people who "knew" me back then never actually really knew me. I had trouble "being myself" around others. I still do sometimes. I think it's gotten better with age though.
I hit the big 60 in 2000. I went through pretty much the same thing, except for me it was 60s music and TV shows (Star Trek, The Avengers, The Prisoner) but most of my jobs just numbed me though I got fairly good at what I did over time. Yes, each year passes more quicly than the previous one.
Dude, I was born in ‘94. I’ll be hitting 29 next year, doesn’t feel like it man. I’m scared but everything along the journey has helped me now. Getting old sucks, thank God I have my parents but seeing them age hurts. But enjoy every moment, THG is my guy, rediscovered my love of hockey and you are awesome man. One of my idols 🙏🏽 LETS GO RANGERS!!!
THG, when you pass you will be remembered as a legend in the UA-cam hockey world and beyond. I can imagine myself 30 years in the future when that time may unfortunately come thinking, “Damn, hockey guy really was a chill and cool dude who left a noticeable impact on the world, may he rest in piece.” ❤
While I agree with the sentiment, TEG/THG is in great physical shape. I hope he lives another 50 years!
I can really feel many things you describe. I had an opportunity to go into broadcasting in a different field and I didn't do it because of the fear of being made fun of due to my appearance and it still irks me.
I definitely identify with this video. Some of my most vivid memories are from the summer of 1977, I was 11 years old and clearly remember standing in line with three of my friends(for several hours) to see a movie made by some guy named George Lucas, with a bunch of actors we had never heard of and Alec Guinness and nobody could understand why this guy was in a science fiction movie. That was also the summer that NY had a massive blackout in the middle of an ungodly heat wave, and a guy named David Berkowitz who had been running around shooting people sitting in parked cars at night was finally captured, among other things.....
You quickly realize after 50 that there are more days behind than ahead. So you start to prioritize what you’re willing to trade minutes, hours or days of your life for. 😉
"What is a yellow light", slow down...."What.....you get it. If you think you're old, I got you beat by 11 years (7/25/1962). You hit the nail on the head on just about everything regarding getting old. I just turned 60, and probably am older than all your subscribers. How many subscribers saw Bobby Orr playing in the 70's. I did many times. One time it was against Vancouver (Boston won). I grew up next to a pond and played hockey every day after school. Hockey is expensive and we were not rich, but I played youth hockey. My team was the North Stars. I remember watching the California Golden Seals on a black & White T.V. set with rabbit ears. Since California was so far from Boston the picture was blurry. I'll tell you, those days in the 70's were the best and I wouldn't trade them in for what's going on in the world today, that's for sure.
I’m turning 30 soon. I guess I would say that looking back in my childhood and twenties I won’t miss it. I’m writing my autobiography right now.
Wwwhhhaaattt dddoooeeesss aaa yyyeeellllllooowww llliiiggghhhttt mmmeeeaaannn???
Time does go faster as you get older, because you are always busy, with work, family, etc. When your younger you find yourself being bored because there appears to be less to keep yourself busy. You are correct your body starts to break down when you reach a certain age.
A couple years behind you, spent most of my life in the US Northwest. Becoming more of a fuddy duddy every day as it relates to current things. Im actually going backwards to the music etc my parents liked.
At 63, yes the seasons fly by, the months seem to be over about the time you get over it being half way through. Except March. March is still a millions years long, waiting for spring.
fantastic video Shannon. the statement of keeping yourself busy w/ new ideas/experiences to have that newness for your memory to cling to, just so our memory has something to reference, cuts deep... it's near impossible to differentiate day to day now... your videos & discord are among the things that keeps my mind fresh, so thank you for that. keep up the great content... i really do appreciate all you do... happy holidays
I’ll be 41 in May so I do know what you mean about time and aging physically and mentally.
He was kind of a prick but he made some nice hockey videos.
😄 🤣
Some things I hate about getting old are all the death amongst family and heroes of my youth, and the smallest of injuries taking forever to heal which slowly eats away at what I used to be physically motivated to do. So yes, the brain still thinks I'm 20, but the body says slow your roll, Grandpa.
Shannon is a bard of our times
Hey Shannon...put a Kibosh on the "OLD PEOPLE' and "OLD MAN" stuff...I'm 64 and ya know what irks me?....young fellas like you thinking their old...lol....keep up all the great stuff on both the channels...Merr Ho Ho to you, Yvonne, and all the young'uns...and all the best to you and yours in the New Year !...Peace out from Doc, in the Great White North of Southern Ontario, Canada.✌✌
Love these type of videos when you do these..longtime THG subscriber. I pray for you often my friend and I hope you reconsider your relationship with Jesus...since that's what it is...and not religion! Best decision anyone will ever make! God bless!
