What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
When I think of the future, I think of important people and what I want to offer them. At Nordea Private Banking, my investment manager helps me make decisions that take time. This way my family stays ahead of the pace. Nordea.fi or Private Banking.
Did you see what just happened? No, I was on my back. Hello and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories.
I'm Shane and today's theme is entitled. And I am joined by two of the most entitled people I know, Angela and Olivia.
Do you want a matcha or... Can I get two drinks?
Yeah.
Because I can't decide if I want to do a cold beverage or... You want hot and cold? Hot and cold so I can fuck up my stomach.
Yeah, yeah. Let's do that. Here, what are you thinking? Ooh, just steamed milk? Oh yeah, just a cup of... We'll get that for him. A cup of steamed milk. I think he probably wants a 16 ounce of steamed milk. No, but for real, do you want anything? We're going to place an order and maybe it comes in time for the end of the episode.
I'll just get an espresso.
You just make that here.
You know, but like there's... Yeah, okay.
They do like a ristretto style, like... Whoa, you can add a shot of maple pancake. Oh, or cranberry. Or cupcake. Wait, what the... Apple. Wait, what if we just added that into your... I'm adding that to the cart. What do you want? Seriously.
What is the podcast's theme and who are the hosts introduced at the start?
Okay, seriously, I... Is this a tad entitled?
It's a tad entitled. Actually, do they just do like a straight up matcha? Like a hot matcha?
A hot matcha?
I got you.
Well, yeah. Like a matcha Americano?
Yeah, can I get a matcha Americano, actually? Could you swap out to get rid of the espresso?
Yeah, I got you.
That'll give me energy throughout the day.
Yeah. Matcha, hot Americano. You want some ice in it? I think I would just hot.
You just want hot?
Just a hot. I'm going to give you organic ceremonial matcha. We have to go quicker. All right, all right. You don't want any milk, right? No milk? No milk. Gosh, they don't have coconut milk? That's so bad.
So we have some entitled stories today.
We're ready.
Okay.
We're so ready. Hey.
How do you feel? Do entitled people piss you off? Yes. Yes. We live in LA, which, kind of the hub. Yeah. I think entitlement's pretty, like, pervasive. Like, I think it's everywhere. Yeah. Like, I feel like everyone's always saying, like, oh, this generation's entitled, this generation's entitled, this country's entitled, these, like, this state is entitled. I'm like, I think it's kind of all over the place.
I think it's all ages, all cultures.
Yeah.
It's all over.
I can't speak for the whole world, but I do think America, like we're such an individualistic country that it's kind of like pushed on us culturally.
When you guys experience like entitlement amongst your friends, how do you guys react to that?
Um, that's tough. I think, I think if it's someone I, I think I try to, like, gently be like, well, you know, it's okay. Like, oh, maybe we should, like, ah, you know, everything's fine, like, ah.
Well, I mean, like, devil's advocate here. I would say, you know, like, that's, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I try to check myself a lot. Especially in places where I think people are very entitled, like airports, restaurants and stuff. I try to be like, oh, I understand that the waiter's going through a hard time. Or like, oh, the person behind the service desk, they're having a day. So I'm not thinking I'm deserving of that.
My friends who are visiting here from Europe, they were driving and they're like, wow, the fact that, you know, if I let someone go, they don't wave thank you or any of that. They're just like shocked. They're like, you know, in London, people are very polite or at least gesture thank you, not entitled to rush to get on the road. That is true.
When I have my blinker on and I get through and they let me in, I don't really, unless it's a really tight spot, I go, thank you. Yeah.
You want to know what's funny? I'm entitled behind. Sometimes I get more mad at polite drivers in LA. Oh, yeah. When you're trying to, okay, you're trying to turn out into a road. Yeah. And there's cars going by both ways and a car stops.
