Language keeps moving — and sometimes, it leaves the rest of us behind. Shane Hewitt and Ryan O’Donnell unpack the newest generational code, “6-7,” in a funny, fast-moving chat about how slang evolves and what it says about culture. Ryan jokes about feeling his age while comparing Gen Alpha’s cryptic phrases to millennial classics like “420” and “YOLO.” Together they trace how online communities spread trends faster than ever and why not every slang term needs translating. The episode closes with a sharp pivot from youth slang to adult realities like money and investments — proof that some things never lose meaning.
