This week on the Locally Hated Podcast, we’re bridging the generational gap and comparing the wild, unsupervised days of our childhoods to the hyper-connected reality of Gen Z.

From the absolute lawlessness of AOL chatrooms and Omegle to the days of drinking from the water hose and fixing busted go-karts before the adults found out, we're laying it all on the table. We debate whether kids today are too sheltered, the reality of having a GPS tracker on your car, and how the uncensored early internet permanently shaped our generation.

Plus, we tackle modern issues like the rise of AI in the classroom, the loss of true problem-solving skills, and why "gentle parenting" doesn't always work at Raising Cane's.
