What intolerant parents don't seem to get is, if your own child can't trust you with details about their life, why should the school trust you with them?
As a related aside, an interesting study published recently confirmed what a lot of us suspected about self harm rates in kids, one of the so-called "justifications" for cracking down on their internet use. That the rates don't track with increased internet access, but rather with moral panics. The more parents limit kids' ability to go and do their own thing, or insist on monitoring their activities, either based on a "stranger danger" fear, or worries about "terrorists", the more the rates go up, the more freedom children are given, the rates come down.
It's not about parents wanting trust. It's about parents wanting to enforce that no trans kid can be safe anywhere.
Hence why I always tell my 5 year old and 2 year old they can talk to me about anything and that I will always love them, no matter what they tell me. I never trusted my dad to that level. He may have had gay friends, but he was a fairly close-minded person. I'm not gay, I was lucky enough to have been born a cisgender, heterosexual white male, but I can't imagine having a parent you couldn't trust to love you for what you are. You can't control WHAT you are, you can only control WHO you are and will be. These people claim to be Christian, but their sense of tolerance is as brittle as their understanding of the actual New Testament.
“You want to help children? LEAVE EM THE FUCK ALONE!” -George Carlin
Damn well said.
I wish my neighborhood had an old man who sat on his porch and yelled progressive messages at passersby all day.
Lol… my older daughter (a charismatic social butterfly) tells me I should do pretty much that. Problem is, while I am a leftist grumpy old guy, I’m also a neurodivergent, disabled hermit, and that would be *way* too much human interaction for me! 🥴 The pride flag in my front window will have to suffice.
Become the old disgruntled progressive, screaming into the night, you wish to see in the world.
“TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS”
“LOVE IS LOVE”
“FREE PALESTINE CMON”
@@loveless131 My thoughts exactly!
@@goblinguy3103fuckin' preach Comrade
My trans son is part of our family because the intolerant folks who brought him into this world then threw him out on the street just for being himself. Screw those people, we have an awesome kid now. Thanks for being angry for the right reasons, Steve.
‘The only significant change in young people is how they contact their drug dealers’ is a wonderful way of putting it.
"Is that a cranky old man yelling at children next door?"
"Don't worry about it; It's just old man Shives, shooting one of his UA-cam sketches again."
I'm imagining this in a near-future where UA-cam has become like forums, somehow still around but hardly get used anymore.
That man's slowly revealed character development did not lead to where i thought it was going. You have a great channel here sir!
The constant refusal to get comfortable in the chair was a nice touch, realistic.
"I only want to have kids if they're going to turn out exactly the way I want them to"
is like
"I only want a cat if it's obedient, lives by my schedule, and $#!+s in the toilet".
There's plenty of people who really do have that kind of a terrible attitude about pets, too, unfortunately. Some people just shouldn't have pets OR children!
The irony is that it's not hard to train a cat to use human toilets to do their business. What is hard is teaching them to flush.
"His mind was gone by that point. Not from the drugs. He'd suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident, after driving high on mushrooms." So, the drugs did have a big part to play. 🤔
Oddly-Progressive rabblerousing oldman is my new favourite character.
Prickly loud oddly progressive rabblerousing stereotypical old man who didn't get his Metamucil & whose BP is on the razor's edge. Now with anger management difficulties !
I feel like I just glimpsed into my child free future
Right?
Beautiful, is t it?
Ditto; especially since I still have my 7-11 store-bought Nokia phone from the 2000s.
Hell yeah, me too! I'm technically middle-aged and not quite ready to be THAT nonchalant with the yelling at neighborhood children, but maybe if I was old?
@@MatthewTheWandererHe's just upset because his mail - order bride expects too much from him & he ain't a young buck of 35 - 40 anymore.
The twist of calling a guy to fuck up the parents was choice. Good show old chap.
Safer than calling the cops!
Loving the increased number of skits but i feel my bones turning to dust with this one
I fucking lost it at "That's entrapment!"
As a homeschooled gay man, yes, the school shouldn't tell parents everything.
As a nonbinary trans person who grew up with an abusive homophobe father, I agree wholeheartedly.
@@thing_under_the_stairs May I ask how your family relationships are today?
Steve really paints a picture with the little life details of the characters in these skits...
Those of us born between 1978 and 1982 are in a weird position where we're old enough to have heard what the ironically named "Silent Generation" had to say about the boomers and then young enough to have heard boomers say the exact same things about millennials, only for millennials to turn around and drop the same complaints about boomers that the boomers had about the silents, and then have the same complaints about zoomers as boomers had about millennials.
Obviously, Generation X is the only truly unique generation. Okay, obviously not. People just never remember us. And, why would they?
The point is that nothing really changes. People are people.
Isn't the whole point of being Gen X that nobody remembers us and nobody cares?
(No, my Halloween costume this year is not Kurt Cobain. That's next year. 😉)
I agree with a lot of what you said here, but I don't want it to seem like Gen X escaped generational bullying. I really think we had it worse.
The prevailing narrative about younger generations now is that they are soft and entitled, something something avocado toast. When we were kids, the narrative was that we were criminals and Satanists, and they acted like we would murder them in their beds. But now it's like everyone forgot about it.
I was born in 1981 and I am NOT a part of Generation X! Never have been! My older brother (born in 1971) is Gen X and he always felt like he was from a different generation from me. I am a Millennial and ALWAYS have been. I graduated high school in the year 2000, after all.
BUT, everything else you say, I agree with, because I DO remember all of that.
My mother used to say that you can tell when a person is officially old. It’s when they start talking about how Bad the kids are today. Damn she was right about everything❤
@@kathyeyesopen4078 I've been known to act like a kid on some occasions at 65 years old.
As a native West Virginian, I laughed. Well done yet again, Steve!
Bro, you have gotta leave that shithole ASAP.
I can only hope to be as cool as this old man, when im his age.
Need to start interviewing hitmen. The most competent loyal ones will be in short supply
I felt you should know I watched this with my baby and she was very amused lol
"Bath tissue" as opposed to "toilet paper"! Does anybody "BT" a tree?
"Bigoted Loins" That... That's a good one.
A glimpse into Steve's future
This bit of Aussie slang is going to totally get lost in translation and may come across rude but I swear I mean it as a compliment when I say, "You are such a dag" and I very much appreciate you for it. Thank you also for your social commentary and insight by utilising Star Trek Shows and Movies. You know your shit regarding ST and and social/political issues as always displayed by your videos and the talking points raised. Thanks from Australia
No one outside Australia knows what "dag" means, so you won't sound rude, just confusing, lol. So, I'll take your word for it that it's a compliment and if I ever hear it said in the future I won't be offended, lol.
Australia, my possible new home if we *elect another* Republican travesty for president.
"Mike Schmitt? Mike Shit!" Best line!
Correction: the last line was the best!
As I watch this with a signed Brooks Robinson pic on my mantelpiece 😂
Wait a minute, I know this guy! He used to work for Jack Daniel McPherson down at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Totally hilarious, “I hand out street justice.”
Steeve Shives in a Steeve Johnson costume playing old Steve Shives
"I don't call cups! I handout street justice!"
😂 gold
Just a word of thanks from a nonbinary trans person who always appreciates your thoughtful and hilarious videos! We need more people like you in this world, and we need to bring back the old Nokia brick phones.
And fyi, back in the day, my roomies and I got in touch with our dealer by banging on the wall, because he lived next door. It was very convenient.
I am going to assume the old man was actually yelling at the parents not the children.
I'd love to just sit and watch this man talk.
I’m so used to seeing Steve in a cap, but weirdly I’m finding it less jarring seeing him in a wig than seeing the actual top of his real human head 😅
After the falling out between me and my bigoted family, I’ve been hurting over the lack of family in my life, not over the specific family that I left behind, but not having familial figures like grandparents anymore. This sketch was a balm to that ache. Thank you. 💜
This video swerved just like a knuckle ball thrown by the legendary Phil Niekro.
Did I do it right? Google says he was good.
These skits are getting better and better, I love it!
Wow, I've not thought of Roy Rogers since I moved to the southwest years ago. Now that reminds me of Friendly's.
I guess I should say thanks.
Oh, thank-you, Steve. This is what i needed after a lousy day at work. This was A+, classic, hilarious. Bravo.
My dad celebrated Halloween when he was a kid, but when he got older he suddenly believed (not sudden, it was church) that Halloween was evil and immoral! He trick-or-treated as a kid, but me and my brother weren't allowed to.
I had a Nokia just like that one. KInda miss it now...
love me a good Brooks Robinson reference, especially when I was expecting you to say two players named Ripken
Oh my God.....that's ME!!!!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN from a grumpy old man.
Steve, you're a genius. This takes so many different twists, and each one of them is excellent.
The whole 'Brooks Robinson' bit fucking killed me.
No, flip phones are also desperately sought out by old folks that can't be bothered to learn how to work current smartphones.
Man I do miss that old Nokia ringtone.
I miss my old Nokia brick too. Can't be bothered to pay for a data plan on my handed-down smartphone; the only features of it I actually like are having a decent quality camera and mp3 player conveniently attached to my phone.
Masterful, Steve. To paraphrase the quiet words of Jack Nicholson, thank you for making this video; now I don't have to fuck it up 😁❤️
I'm feeing so attacked right now. I even have an Impala.
"That's entrapment!!" sent me.
Also this reminds me a fair bit of Still Game, but like, the American version. It's a Scottish sitcom about two pensioners (retirees) basically being grumpy arseholes amongst their town. I think you'd like it (tho the first couple seasons are a bit rough, I often suggest ppl start with season 3 rather than 1)
This is awesome.
Great payoff at the end there. Gotta have principals, but no need to hurt the kids. Just scare em. It's a valuable lesson.
This has to be my favorite non-Trek viedo you have posted. Keep up the great work!
It was cool, but you didn't need to wear the wig... you're old enough...
*runs out of room-ducking the Nokia*
Angry Old Man may be my new favourite Steve character.
This video raises an important question: Where is there an operating Roy Rogers Restaurant?
Ah, the Nokia 3310. I had one from Christmas 2003 to nearly Christmas 2019 before the battery finally gave out for the last time and couldn't be recharged at all... so I got a slightly newer version. My dad and my brother have smartarse phones, but my mum and I stick to the basics. Why does a phone need to do anything other than calls, texts, and tell the time?
This is some of your best work ever. Happy Halloween Steve.
I was doing something else when he got to the trans children topic I was like "oh this is the part where he rants against it" and then I listened carefully....
Steve is always very protective of trans people, and kids in general. As a non-binary trans person, that's a part of why I love his videos.
🤣 "your intolerant uterus ...kicked it out?!" OMG.
I don't know why, but somehow I _knew_ that'd be his ringtone. 😂 Oh god, I feel old.
The Baltimore sports fan in me feels so validated right now. Also, I am retconning all of the roast beef that Lieutenant Johnson eats in the shower into Roy Rogers roast beef in my mind.
Back in my day, the Nokia 3310 was the shizz!! Kids these days!!
I accidentally ran over a 3310 once; the only damage was a cracked screen.
This former young person misses Roy Rogers.
Sometimes I wonder how many little boys secretly want to be a witch or Fairy Princess for Halloween but never get to. Same for little girls who long to be cowboys or wizards. Makes me a little sad...
"That's entrapment!" xD
As someone who has worked with the geriatric population my entire career I'm so here for this crotchety old man. Side note on the Robinsons - every time the braves were on TV my grandmother would always tell me that Andruw & Chipper Jones were brothers & our cousin's as for how that worked her explanation was Andruw drank too much chocolate milk when he was a kid 😂
Brilliant!!
Classic stuff as always.
Wonder if he could be an SNL cast member. Or a writer. Or a producer
apparently phones can be kosher. i learned that recently. to be kosher they cant connect to internet or take videos. So its not just drug dealers its also ultra orthodox jewish people.
Giving this a 'like' even before pressing play.
😂😂😂 love this
This is gold.
I'm lucky to get two or three trick-or-treaters each year out where we live. It makes my whole Halloween!
I like to imagine his family sitting in the next room while he films these so they get to listen to all of his shenanigans.
I feel this skit is New England in a nutshell
I love this type of character
Reminds me of Jerry Stiller/Arthur Spooner
In a just society, videos like this would go viral !!!
It’s like William Dfens Foster didn’t have a really bad day….
"It was funny... but he didn't laugh..." was so so darn funny
My little Nuh-KEE-yuh phone!!
my favorite
That's a complex character you have there!
Unexpectedly based violently angry old man who hates everyone. Big tsundere energy.
George Brett, that's who!
lol! Brilliant! The anti-Archie!
Am I a cloud or who else is that geezer yelling at?
Where does one find a Roy Rogers these days?
This skit is awesome. I love non-shitty old people.
Well, I got a bit further and this guy's a bit shitty but in a good way. Like I wanna bring this guy a beer and watch this guy yell at people kinda way
I like a man who knows the stats of one of the Oriole's greats. And yeah, Cal was at third for a few seasons, but he couldn't hold a candle to Brooksy. Just like Brooks could never have compared to Cal.
Uh, yeah, the rest of the video was really very good .........
I love this, even if I am a Yankees fan. 🤣🤣🤣
okay, this is the funniest thing I feel like I seen on this accursed web sight in a long, long time. XD XD XD
I want this guy to be my neighbor.
I actually do have a neighbor who genuinely believes Halloween is the Devil's birthday. He refuses to celebrate. Welcome to the Deep South aka Hell.
I HAVE seen a change in kids from years past. It used to be, when you opened the door on Halloween, the kids would be in COSTUME and they'd say "Trick or Treat!" Now the only kids who come to my door are in UNIFORM (cheerleading and football uniforms are not costumes if you already have to wear them regularly anyway) - and instead of saying "Trick or Treat!" they simply hold out their bags, expectant and silent. That is just now how it's done, folks!!
Do I see an Old Man Rodgers series in this. lol
That would be excellent if we had more elderly people like the person Steve is playing in this skit. I feel like our country would be a lot better off rather than having elderly people like some of the ones I've seen; who get upset with me because my GF is from the Philippines. Then they have the nerve to ask me when am I going to get an "American" GF? The nerve of some people today.
I really appreciated the juxtaposition of the typical old man rant with an enlightened old man rant. All of the bitchy grouchiness with none of the deplorable opinions. 😅
this is me
David? Is that you? 😂
