A new study says that teens today
aren't grasping responsibilities of adulthood.
How many adults agree with that?
Woohoo!
[APPLAUSE]
Hesitant because you have teenagers to say that,
but yes--
so the study says that the teenagers are not getting jobs,
they're not learning how to drive,
they're not forming relationships.
What is going on?
You're just Netflixing without the chilling?
What is happening you?
[LAUGHTER]
You sit there, and you fidget with your spinners all day
long?
[LAUGHTER]
So I want to talk to some teenagers,
and I want to find out what's going on.
So I saw hands come up over here.
Where is a teenager over here?
[APPLAUSE]
Hi.
What is your name?
Julian.
Hi, Julian.
And you live where?
I live in Glendora.
OK, and your how old?
I'm 16.
16 years old.
When will you be 17?
Next September.
September.
Oh, so you just turned 16.
Yeah.
OK, and what are you into?
[LAUGHTER]
What do you like?
[LAUGHTER]
Sports.
You like sports?
Are you good at sports?
Yes.
What?
I think so.
Water polo.
Water polo, wow, that seems like a very hard sport to me.
Yeah, it is.
You're constantly treading water, and swimming,
and throwing a ball.
That's amazing.
So you're on a team?
Yeah.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
You just like it.
[LAUGHTER]
No, I'm on the JV team for my high school.
Oh, good.
Well, that's fantastic.
Is that something you would actually pursue?
Yes, I would.
Oh, that's great.
And so being 16, is that a learner's permit?
Or do you have a driver's license?
I don't have anything.
Nothing at all.
[LAUGHTER]
But soon, right?
Yes, yes.
Can you get that at 16?
I'm pretty sure I can get my license at 16.
Can you?
Who are you with?
His mom.
Yeah, and can he get his license at 16?
He can if he does something about it.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, you have a DUI, huh?
[LAUGHTER]
What do you have to do?
What's the matter?
I just got to take my permit test.
Oh.
And I can--
Well, yeah, that's easy enough to take the permit test.
Let's pretend she's not here.
Have you ever taken the car when they're not home
and taken it for a drive?
[LAUGHTER]
No, but I went with my grandpa on a drive with him
at a golf course.
And then he let you drive?
Yeah, but I was crashed it.
Oh, the golf cart?
Or the car?
Me and him.
No, I understand.
[LAUGHTER]
But were you driving the car?
Yes, I was driving the car.
Oh, and you almost--
wow.
OK.
Well because here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to give you another chance.
I didn't know this story at all.
But I just wanted somebody who doesn't
have a driver's license.
And I want to help you learn how to drive in a golf cart.
So come with me.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
Come on.
What's your name again?
Julian.
Julian, all right.
So good.
I don't even have to tell you.
You know how this works, right?
Yeah.
OK, so basically, we're already on.
We're in forward.
We're going to parallel park when they set that up
over there.
[LAUGHTER]
If you can do this, you can do anything.
This is so easy, and this is so fun.
Driving a golf cart is really, really fun.
I'm glad-- have you only driven once?
No, I've driven a couple of times.
A couple of times.
Yeah.
I took the microphone away, but I'll just
repeat everything you say.
All right, and when you said you almost-- oh,
we're putting my ED by Ellen dishes there.
OK, so that's good.
So if you crash, you're going to break my dishes.
And you'll owe me some money.
Oh, no.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
We're just going to parallel park.
So however you think best, go ahead.
OK.
All right?
OK.
[LOUD THUD]
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Why now?
No.
Where's the reverse?
Right here.
OK.
All right, yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Now imagine there's traffic in these lanes.
[LAUGHTER]
All right?
Oh my god, I can't take this.
[LAUGHTER]
You're going forward again?
Yeah.
You were in neutral.
OK.
All right.
And why?
Why?
[LAUGHTER]
No.
Have you ever seen movies of people parallel parking?
Like just even in a TV show or something?
Get in front of it, and then back into it.
OK.
All right.
I'm in reverse.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
Good, good.
A little more, a little more.
Little more.
OK.
[APPLAUSE]
A little more.
Little more.
OK, good.
Reverse.
Good.
[LAUGHTER]
Good.
[LAUGHTER]
Baaa.
He's looking-- behind you.
People behind you.
Baaa.
Get out of the way.
Baaa.
Hurry up.
Baaa.
What's happening?
Julian.
[LAUGHTER]
I can't do this.
Don't give up.
[LAUGHTER]
Go ahead.
Did we die?
[LAUGHTER] You took so long that the battery died.
That's what happened.
[LAUGHTER]
