I'm betting the Joker told you to kill me as soon as we loaded the cash. No, no, no, no. I killed the bus driver. Bus driver? What bus driver?

All right, time for another trusty TikTok reaction. Today we have some videos of adults complaining about being adults. Always a fun one. What the? Always one that, these don't frustrate me at all. I enjoy watching these kinds of videos. Let's begin.
TikTok Feminist Influencer 2 0:43
I thought being in your early 20s was supposed to be fun. I see all these bitches having so much fun. I am miserable. Miserable to my core miserable. What the fuck? This sucks. I'm suing whoever told me that this was supposed to be the most fun time in my life because it is. It is not. Definitely not. Not even close.
Matt Walsh 1:09
You should sue that person because whoever told you that your 20s were supposed to be the greatest time of your life was lying to you. You've got now all these young people that expect their 20s to be. fun. Expect their 20s to be one long party. But that's not how it works. Because guess what? Your 20s kind of suck. Actually, they suck a lot. You have no money. You're just starting out. You have no experience as an adult. You have no clout or credibility. You're most likely single. At least you will be at the start of your 20s. So you're alone. You're at the very beginning of everything. You're not reaping the rewards yet because you haven't done anything. This is another one of the reasons why it's so ridiculous that people talk about aging like it's embarrassing.

Someone turns 32 and they're like, oh, don't remind me I'm 32. Oh, you know, I'm... I'm 25. This is my 30th, 24th birthday. Why do you want to be 24? If anything, being 24 is embarrassing. It's not embarrassing to be older because being older just means experience and wisdom, or at least it should mean that. Oh my gosh, I'm going to be 40. I can't wait to be 40. I cannot wait to experience my 40s. It's going to be great. It's going to be a blast. I have less time now to hang out at bars. But I don't want to do that. I could still go to a bar if I wanted to. I walk by the bars down on Broadway here in Nashville and I see the masses of people standing around sweating, drinking out of plastic cups, no personal space. Everything is loud. Everyone's shouting.
Matt Walsh 2:52
And there's no part of that that seems even slightly appealing. And yet that is the only thing. The only thing that I could do in my 20s that I am less able to do now. So your 20s are for building. They're for building the life that you will enjoy later. But that requires work. And that's the problem, is that you got a lot of these younger people don't want to do the work.

He said it! He said it!
Matt Walsh 3:21
All right, here's this one.
TikTok Feminist Influencer 1 3:23
Hi, can someone tell me what the f*** is going on? Like, what are we doing? After you work your job and you pay your bills and you go to the gym and you eat good and maybe you socialize and you sleep and then you take care of yourself. Like, what's the end goal? Retirement? No. Even when you meet your goals, you travel, you save up for something financially, you buy a house, you have a baby. What then? Like, it's really this day in, day out, every f***ing day forever? Until what, the big finale is we die? Like, Like, what's going on? What are we doing here?
Matt Walsh 4:03
Yeah, I mean, that's basically right. And that's, yeah, that is life.
TikTok Feminist Influencer 2 4:08
Life sucks! And then you die.
Matt Walsh 4:13
This is the whole thing. The whole kit and caboodle. This is what it is. Get up every day, you do the things you gotta do, go home, go to sleep, repeat it, and then you die. That's it. That's why you need to have some source of meaning in your life. And what gets me about videos like this is just how much of a revelation this seems to be to a lot of people. The search for meaning, the pursuit of meaning, that's like the fundamental thing that mankind has wrestled with since the beginning of time. So how are you just coming around to it? If all you care about is what is immediate and temporal and directly around you, then yeah, life is meaningless. Effectively. because this is it. This is all there is.
