 Hi, I'm Eileen, and this is The Lazy Millennial. So if it happens to the best of us, you've got to impress somebody important. A new boss, a professor, or maybe, like me, you've got to get as cultured as humanly possible so you can make a killer first impression on your boyfriend's parents. The problem is I don't have time to sit down and read the complete works of Shakespeare, and I bet you don't either. We need the Roadrunners Guide to Culture. Thankfully, I live in a free society full of freedom. Unlike some countries we all know of, nobody can stop me from learning as much as I can. And that, plus some good old-fashioned entrepreneurship, means that there are actually a ton of really helpful solutions to this problem. Okay, tell me what books your parents like. Nothing I've read. Awesome. One easy answer to this one is audiobooks. I can read a whole book on my commute to and from work. Why would you fall for that? Don't bring the horse into your city. It's full of your girls, get up. Of course, at this point, an even faster option is Netflix. I swear accounts. In the last few years, competition from streaming video services, cable networks, and tons of new production companies has given us some really good movies and TV shows based on literature and historical events. You have the classics like Shakespeare, a lot of freaky stuff like it that I don't even know why it exists, and you even have a lot of high culture. Okay, so they like Virgil. What about music? Man, why can't they like anything I like? It's like they're making this difficult for me on purpose. Okay, so thanks to more entrepreneurs, there's a solution to this problem, too. We got Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, Amazon, Google, YouTube, and even the random music service that Jay-Z invented, Tidal. Literally, none of this stuff even existed when I was born. Okay, anything else I should know? Have random things to say? The fact that I can go learn all this stuff in a single day is amazing. Seriously, nobody in the history of the entire world has had this much access to freely available knowledge. But look, it requires the technology to be able to spread ideas, the financial ability to access those ideas, and the freedom of knowledgeable people to be able to put their ideas out there in the first place. But now I can just go on YouTube, watch a bunch of TED Talks, listen to a dozen different podcasts, and boom, I can charm all the parents. Just a few decades ago, I would have had to go to a library and check out actual books. Ugh. Pro tip, though, if you do end up using these techniques, just, you know, be smart about what you find. It is the internet, after all. Morning. Oh, hey. So I came across this website and it said Michael Jackson and Tupac are actually alive and live at Russia. So thanks to Modern Technology, I can go meet the parents without worrying about looking like an idiot. Hey, thanks for watching the Lazy Millennial today. There's no way I covered everything in here.
