Today's number 60. That's the percentage of Gen Z people who say they would find someone extremely attractive if they never used AI to make personal decisions. I'll tell you, Ed, I am just sick of Gen Z's arrogance.
They walk around and act as if they rent everything.
Have you heard from Michael Symbolist?
I may or may not have heard from him, but I love the direction that we're heading in, and I don't want to change a thing.
It's because you're some Princeton prude who wants a Pimms cup, doesn't know how to drink beer, tell a good joke.
You've had better dad jokes. I'll say this one was okay, maybe six out of 10. You've had some bangers. Last week, I forget what it was, but it really hit the spot. So we're trending in the right direction. So I'm not going to tell you what my correspondence with Michael Semblist has or hasn't been. All I know is that he's been a blessing to the show.
I'm not going to say anything. How are you, Ed? It's not coming home.
Yeah. I agree. I'm not going to lie. I hear you. I'm struggling to find any silver linings or any positives out of that World Cup.
Well, it's not like you flew to the U.S. with your entire family thinking you were going to go see England in the World Cup final. Now I'm going to see Yamal and Messi, which, granted, is great soccer, but do you think it's bad form? I'm going to wear my Team England jersey. Do you think that's bad form to wear that to the final, or do I show my loyalty?
Well, take any support we can get. I mean, you might get heckled and people might call you a wanker, but that's okay. Well, that's called social media. That's called me.
That's called a weekday for me. Have you read my comments?
You're used to it. I'm used to it. Yeah, it is. I mean, it's hard to describe that feeling of just pure disappointment, but something I've been thinking about.
That's because you're young. Trust me, you'll get used to it. Yeah, have I told you about my divorce, my companies, my general, like every time I look in the mirror now, just the horror and disappointment?
Just to give you my sort of takeaways on just being an England fan and also just being a football fan in general, something I've been thinking about is it's so annoying how much worse it feels to lose... Than joy it is to win? Yes. Losing, the intensity of the feeling of losing is so much greater than the feeling of winning. I mean, you know, we went to the England game and saw Norway. We had a great experience. I had an amazing time, don't get me wrong. But we got the win, and then I'm kind of like, okay, like, on to the next one. Great. That semi-final loss, I couldn't dig myself out of the hole. And you never feel that way when you win. And what is that about human psychology?
That's alcohol. So... No, I'm serious. When I was your age and I drank, it'd be like six hours of euphoria with a 10-minute hangover, a couple Advil, a Diet Coke, and boom, I was ready to drink again.
