Episode 101 – Brain rot
In this episode, Andy and Roger explore the world of Gen Alpha slang, featuring their guest, Quandale Dingle, who helps them unravel concepts like “brain rot,” “skibidi toilet,” and “rizz.” They discuss how these internet trends reflect deeper social shifts, contrasting them with older generational slang and cultural moments. The conversation dives into fast-paced media consumption, including TikTok and YouTube Shorts, and the addictive algorithms behind them. Along the way, they tackle topics like parenting styles, social media restrictions, and how future generations engage with memes. They also discuss the Australian Government’s plan to ban social media, influenced by Jonathan Haidt’s recent book. With playful banter, they examine the gap between generations and reflect on the shifting nature of online culture.
