The "6 7" Phenomenon: How Gen Z Slang Drives Millennials Crazy
Dingo can't escape hearing "6 7" everywhere, a meaningless phrase from a rap song that's mysteriously taken over youth culture. The hosts discuss how kids are obsessed with phrases that have zero meaning, and joke about being old enough to ruin trends by co-opting them. Dingo plans to destroy both "6 7" and the mustache for the younger generation.
COVID Nostalgia: Quarantine Was Actually Kind of Great
The hosts bond over their strange fondness for lockdown life, with Tad openly admitting "I miss quarantine." They reminisce about Vegas rules drinking, Bloody Marys at any hour, and the glorious pre-baby phase of isolation. The conversation takes a darker turn discussing how quarantine affected kids—Tad's daughter couldn't do in-person ballet and had to suffer through Zoom classes instead.
Vaccines, Anti-Vaxxers, and the Measles Comeback Nobody Asked For
The hosts tackle the resurgence of measles outbreaks among anti-vax communities with their signature irreverent take. They debate the difference between optional and mandatory vaccines, agreeing that vaccination should be a requirement for civil society participation like school and camp. The consensus: vaccinate your kids, don't be weird, and give children a chance at life—even if adults want to Darwin Award themselves.
Covenant Eyes App Founder's Son Arrested for Child Pornography
Tad drops a bombshell headline: the creator of Covenant Eyes, an app designed to monitor children's online activity, didn't monitor his own son—who was arrested for child pornography. The hosts riff on the spectacular irony and hilariously debate whether the app actually shows what kids are "spanking it to" or just that they're spanking it. The bit devolves into a bit about being accountability buddies via FaceTime with Apple's SharePlay feature.
I have no problem with people dying. Please, I encourage people dying. With way too many of us. But let the kids grow up and decide if they want to be an idiot. Give them the choice. — Dingo Jackson← All episode posts
