If my manager called and told me we need to talk, I'd call her without hesitation. She's an amazing person and she actually cares about her employees and if something is up, she talks it through rather than immediately placing the blame. I trust her to hear me out and make a decision from there.

[@zaraheart]

You’re very fortunate. Not everyone is so lucky to have a boss like that 😞 Don’t take advantage of that, just saying this in general, not towards you specifically.

[@Alifahusna_97]

You’re so lucky

[@akashvig5007]

My immediate senior is very very nice and sweet. She is my mother's age around 50s and i am her son's age around 26-27.. She brings food sometimes for me.. So I'll definitely call.. But.. My uber senior ( senior's senior) is very brutal and degrading kinda person. So, leave on read.

I've actually had a friend call me with her cat's death. She was crying that she wouldn't be able to get the body back from the vet because she couldn't afford something. I asked her what vet she brought him to, and once we got off the phone I called that vet and payed for her to get him cremated. She went back to the vet next day and was surprised that I had done that for her.

[@whattt727]

that is so nice of you 💛

[@tinalawson5907]

Please tell her that god is by her side and we’re all here for her

[@justanaverageweirdo7952]

You're an angel walking amongst us. Your the best friend she could ask for.

[@MegaDreamer87]

I love their responses. The Ex's questions are interesting. The Elders' responses are creative.

[@keiongarraway2948]

Yeah it's cool to see the differences when more history is there with the exes.

[@wilbeugre]

"- we need to talk - we need to?" Best answer ever

[@toddrelasteal5324]

If my close friend or gf ever said to me "we need to talk" I'd reply with "yes we do" cause then now we are both stressing the heck out

[@tropical2513]

lmfao thats great

"Why? They're an ex for a reason!". Because breaking up hating the living $*it out of each other is not the only way to break up.

[@LeftJoystick]

story of my fucking life

[@najah9577]

I ignore most of the calls from my job. I usually listen to the voice message to see what they want. Since I work as a cashier at a grocery store and am a student in college, I really treasure my days off. So most of the time don't work on days that I'm not scheduled. I'm trying to live my homebody lifestyle. Working as a cashier drains too much of my energy. By the time I get home, I'm tired.

[@lenareips6980]

as you should 🤞🏼

[@brendanhart517]

People texting “we need to talk” are cruel and it’s totally unnecessary

[@TheSpoobs]

This just shows the difference between generations and men and women

[@Arcticafoxis]

Jaxon is always my favorite

[@elliegrace5853]

I will say that Izzy and Jair are me in a nutshell 😂

[@aglandorf75]

10:25 6am got a text message from one of my best friends.... 30 minutes later I am on my way to pick him up from a small village somewhere in the Netherlands and need to drive there for 2h from Germany. Never asked what went wrong, he only told me that a online date went not that well. He paid for the gas and got me a breakfast from a rest stop. 😁

[@ytk4rv]

I would like to be friends with both if you 😊

[@chichigames4589]

Never a borrower or a lender be... so true. Learned the hard way on that one.

[@nev9694]

I love Izzy’s personality so much

[@Coalskatfriends]

"k" I use that, no context ever. I use it because writing out "okay" is so much work. And I'm not even 18

[@JazzMaster01]

I use k if I'm pissed lmao. I even use ok if im annoyed. I use okay for a normal okay lol

[@gracekim5291]

Producer: Wyd means “I want you to come over” Me, a gen z: what? It does?

“But theirs so many good swear words 🥹” 😂😂😂

[@Rowanlafolle1965]

I definitely have friends who, if they call and ask me if I'm busy this weekend, I ask why? because I know they probably want me to do something I don't want to do, like help them move or something equally horrible lol

[@noahjessup9342]

Ex Partner texting we need to talk (assuming a woman is the ex and you are the man) probably means you have a kid. Other way around is probably something like, "You should get tested"

[@Mercenary3740]

Jair and the Elder's all had the best answers!

“Coming over to your place to do.. mmm… INEXPLICABLE THINGSS!!!” -Mark 2022

[@thedarknight9157]

"An ex is an ex for a reason" I don't completely agree with this outlook. People break up for all sorts of reasons so it's still entirely possible that you could be friends and still care about an ex

[@pilsplease7561]

Izzy is amazing, can tell that izzy would be the life of any party.

[@MrFrankhdgs]

It was very interesting to see how the 'boys' versus the 'girls' reacted, and to see how differently each age group responded.

1:32 This old woman is the most modern I have ever seen, she has earned my respect.

[@DukeHalliday-cv4fx]

[@mage1439]

Depending on the friend, the correct answer to "wyd" is "your mom."

[@debbiesmith3443]

They are so genuine I love everyone's reaction, honestly it's the best policy need more friends like them.

[@MrLbstoner]

If an ex texts you we need to talk, you should do your best to make the effort to talk to them. With that being said if it’s not a “I’m pregnant”, or “I tested positive for something” then that will be a short talk. 5:35

[@tomholland3806]

I don't understand the mentality of an ex is an ex. Like come on. At some point you were close enough to have a relationship. Unless there is cheating involved why hate your ex?

[@tiliaevm]

period

[@xanneig]

people don't want to live in the past. these were past relationships that most likely left a big imprint on a person's heart. if your ex is gone, it's over. he/she shouldn't be in your life anymore

[@tiliaevm]

@@xanneig being friends with your ex doesn’t have to be living in the past, in the same way as being friends with a childhood friend doesn’t indicate you’re back at 10yr old when y’all hang out! i think that if the relationship was toxic or if one part is still in love/still wants to be together, then you shouldn’t be friends. but if you had a good friendship while in ur relationship and have no intent of getting back together in the future it can be very rewarding to be friends with your ex!

[@TheDivagirlfriend]

Boss texting "Are you free this weekend?"...For other people yeah I'm free, for you I'm *insert wage here* per hour. 😁

[@livywithane]

Yeah I'll be like "yeah I'm free, what do u need me to do?" Following with; "will I get paid bonus?" (This is either for my Stage design job or my nana needing help with her small business.)

[@LeadrynMcKrotch]

My best friend is definitely the type that will wait till you give them more information before telling you if they are free or not. Even if they are. Granted he's kind of a big homebody so you tend to need to make him do plans at all.

[@anniethomas5769]

The lady who keeps saying she'd call them, and talking about anxiety is a superhero lol. I would neeeeever call as response to a text unless it's the can you call text 😂

Her names Izzy, I think.

“K” is the equivalent of a woman telling “do whatever you want”.

“there’s so many good swear words” 🤣

[@aristothethrone9032]

not enough fire starters in this one. my responses were phrased to start a fight. " I'm with my people what's good?" " borrow money? I look like I got money? "

Mine for the I need to borrow money is "me too!"

“But there are soo many swear words” lmfao

[@jayjackson1515]

I love Izzy and I have such a crush on Ed. I am so happy when I see them on.

[@littleshoes3293]

For me, using k is more annoyance than anger. Like if the SO asks me to take out the trash or do the dishes I'll send k back. Cause imma do it, I'm just not happy about it. XD

[@sangosister]

I love the answers and why this is great for people that don't know how to respond!!

Almost every answer for Ed: ...eat **** 🤣🤣🤣

[@kaputt_jay3873]

I totally got a Facebook message a few days ago from an old friend asking for money. I figured they just meant to send it to someone else so I didn't respond 🤷‍♀️

[@Loves_Bands_And_Haikyu]

Am I the only Gen Z who didn't know this meaning for K? I always used it as the same context of ok and such lol

In the similarities portion... nobody mentioned that through all the generations every guy was like DTF when propositioned, even in the middle of the night... none of the girls were LOL

[@aqsairshad4836]

Its funny how the answer to first text was same for all men regardless of age.

"An ex is an ex for a reason" 100%

[@josiahcole3186]

As a Gen Z this makes me realise how out of touch with my own generation I am 😂

[@Kehvan]

Or maybe it's just the people who made or are in this video who are out of touch.

[@lrb938]

If I dated someone like Izzy I'd be in a lot of trouble bc I use "k" a lot just bc it's quicker 😅😅

I am in Gen Z, and I had no idea apparently K had some kind of very negative meaning 🤔

[@BABS_SEED]

Not exactly but it's like "really? That's all you have to say? Am I not good enough for the second syllable? "

[@Trifler500]

I only use "K" as short for OK

If someone texted me k I'd say "potassium"

[@wonderfulfable]

Mark & Catherine from Elders React!! I miss them!! ❤❤

[@scooby45247]

EX-PARTNER: we need to talk is very different for men and women.. assuming its not an infection call (get tested), women tend to know when a baby is born.. for men it might mean that your ex-gf is now your baby mama..

[@faye7743]

She was like "In Gen Z lingo 'K' means 'im mad at you'" and I was like OH SHIT because my mum keeps me really sheltered and i didnt know that (despite being Gen Z) and i send 'K' all the time- now ive figured out why my friend is wondering if im mad at him-

[@Cuckoorex]

One of my exes used to send me "k" and I would ask what's wrong and they legit would not know that "k" is anything other than an innocent shorthand for "OK". I had to explain it to her and then she felt bad and started spelling it out "okay" after that.

[@declanfan30]

This was really fun to watch and so funny too. Love seeing the different generations take on different things. This was a great subject as well, comparing guys’ responses and girls’ responses. You should do more Generations React episodes. Like one on the new game show Generation Gap

[@Seth6ecko]

Jackson has respect for humans not exes

[@saraholson1087]

??? WTF

[@angeld3654]

Hehehe these are interesting hehehe!! Crush: *"r u free this weekend?" "I'm expensive"* and Ed's reaction just hahahaha!! Just the response of wyd? From the significant other I would be like sending something funny

[@IllusionQueen4Eva]

6:33 Wow... Well that's a shitty response... Regardless of what you think of the person/animal/thing, it's never okay to say that about something that a _friend_ loves.

[@ssd3303]

The-

[@Loncyrus]

I hate some of their responses. I wouldnt want to have a friend that would respond that way if that were to happen. Especially since my cat is my baby :(

[@CrazedPop]

(From a man's perspective) As a friend, you should probably know how the person is going to respond to something you are emotional about. My first thought was, "bury it". I think men would give more of a solution to the event, women would give more of a solution to the emotions. Also, the response would probably be different if it was a same gender conversation or an opposite gender conversation.

[@Loncyrus]

@@CrazedPop I think most people know to either bury or cremate the animal… common sense. It’s not really a logical way to console someone you’d normally care about (in this case a friend). If some men agree, I think maybe they should think before they speak if that’s the way you handle situations that are similar to this. It shouldn’t come down to gender when it comes to having common sense.

[@IllusionQueen4Eva]

@@Loncyrus Yeah exactly! Everyone knows that a beloved pet should be cremated or buried, so obviously the person would be sending that message to seek comfort, not ask for a solution.

[@divyanshsharma8168]

at this point in life i have realized i can watch mundane content too if Izzy is in it

[@marktegrotenhuis]

I don't like calling very much, so I would text back or ignore. But I only ignore when I don't have time for subjects that could turn into a long conversation.

[@mominashahzad5372]

Ok but i say k as in okay all the time 😂😂i am 18 btw😂😂

[@haydentenhave2555]

I am the same way. It is just easier than okay.

[@LexusCarter02]

3:27 That face says what we're all thinking

[@GabrielaSalgado-w3p]

Jaxon is just the cuttest person EVER

[@PerfectCocoa]

Huhhhhhh????? K means "I'm mad at you" !?!?! Like the elders, I thought it was the shortened letter for 'okay' to type quicker and not waste time. I guess I have to be more careful now ;-;

[@davidk06]

Same. My mind is blown

[@_..jolene.._]

It does mean “okay.” But usually whenever people use it, it’s used as a way to show annoyance/anger/frustration. Not always, but in most cases (especially amongst young people).

[@SuperDonn19]

when Ed said slap and tickle, it SENT ME!!!!!! 😂😂😂 like wooooooow I haven't heard that in a minute, but also 😏😏😏

[@meaganrobles4245]

@@paulmolloy7206 Cool beans! I heard it for the first time in that movie.

[@Esh___]

I’ve been at my job for so long that if they texted me we need to talk, I’d just be like sure, what’s up? 😂

[@bananagreg]

guys is it just me or is MARK THE BEST elder there is

[@janetmoreno8909]

Depends on the family member whose asking for money, is it that family member who only contacts you when they want something? The answer is no, otherwise it's probably how much. The answer is automatically no if it's coming from the Ex especially if it's a crazy ex.

[@gamegeargirl8086]

My dad ALWAYS responds with “k.” He is terrible at texting!

[@ReniqueHD]

I didn't realize sending K was a bad thing 🥴

[@ethanmenzel]

I never knew k was not the same as ok as a 2001 baby. I feel so old.

[@debralazarus1809]

I love Izzy she’s hilarious

[@ZorroDk]

I would be worried about how my phone has a text from "Today 2:40 PM" if it is only 10:04 AM as shown in the top of the phone... I would be like "Hold up. Wait a minute. Something ain't right!" :o

[@savannahmae3679]

I guess I'm like the elder people, I've never heard about k meaning you're mad at someone and no one who I text with uses k like that. How did the letter k, what you mean and my friends use to abbreviate okay, suddenly became the letter that stands for I'm mad at you. Just tell people you're mad at them, it's far less confusing and it will resolve things quicker.

[@joshuaberketa7986]

I’m not even joking for that text message at 7:02 I thought to say hell yeah as well before he said it.

[@TheQuestionmarkstudi]

"Hopefully you" yeah with that text, right answer.
