What was your first "I'm getting old" moment?
- When the kids starting using words like "fleek" and "throwing shade" and "dab". And I didn't know what they meant. I thought I was hip. NOPE.

- I think my first one was probably when my wife and I closed on our first house. Sitting in this little office, with our broker, a lawyer, and the also-adults selling us their house. We signed 500 papers, the dude tossed me his keys and they left like it was nothing.
Our broker is like "congrats, you bought a house."
"Can we...can we just leave now? We just...have the house? I can go there now?"
"Uhh yes? It is your house now."
"That's fucking insane."

- My wife: "I'm excited to see Reel Big Fish tonight in [college town]. Just like old times."
Me: "Do you think we'll be the oldest ones there?"
My wife: "Naw. There will be college kids there."
Me: "... We're 30, babe."
