Scott and Sadie
👵 Retirement Realness: The Medicare Mafia Chronicles
- Scott’s mom retires at 87. Because nothing screams “rest” like finally quitting after two wars and seven hip replacements.
- Sadie’s dad contemplates death like it’s a hobby. Retirement anxiety? Nah, just existential dread in dad sneakers.
- The crew debates whether dying on a riding mower is noble or just lazy future planning.
🍼 Parenting: Lower the Bar, But Not That Low
- Trophies for brushing your teeth? Pass. Sadie wants her kid to survive boredom without an app—or therapy.
- Scott argues against kids with smartphones. Meanwhile, toddlers are out here editing TikToks like Scorsese.
- Bring back Bob Barker and channel surfing until you fall asleep from sheer boredom, dammit.
💸 Tipping: When Guilt Costs 25%
- “It’s gonna ask you a quick question.” Translation: You’re about to be judged by a screen for tipping 15%.
- 19% is the average? Apparently, mediocrity now costs extra.
- Are we generous, or just too chicken to hit “No Tip”? (Spoiler: it’s fear.)
🚀 Government, Space & Paychecks That Suck
- Astronauts make $150k to float in space and $5 for toothpaste. Wow, what a deal.
- JFK and UFOs make a guest appearance, because of course they do. Trust the government? In this economy?
🎶 Nostalgia: Back When Concerts Were Affordable and Cool
- The Rat Pack > your overpriced, underwhelming Coachella lineup.
- Scott and Sadie urge you to go to the damn show. Life’s short, and Ticketmaster’s already stolen your soul.
