AS ARE YOU ALL PROBABLY AWARE OF, AT THIS
POINT, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GLOBAL CRISIS AND IT IS PITTING
PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER IN QUITE A TROUBLING WAY.
I'M TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT THE MIDDLE PART VERSUS SIDE PART
DEBATE.
NOW IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS, GEN Z INFLUENCERS LIKE
MYSELF WHERE NOW CLAIMING THAT YOUR THAT PARTING YOUR HAIR TO
THE SIDE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR OLD PEOPLE AND TO BE CLEAR, WHEN
THEY SAY OLD PEOPLE, THEY'RE REFERRING TO MILLENIALS.
NOW ACCORDING TO GEN Z THE MIDDLE PART IS NOW THE ONLY WAY
TO GO.
NOW I HAVEN'T BEEN A MIDDLE PART SINCE MY HIGH SCHOOL BOY BAND
DAYS SO I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR ALL ABOUT THIS.
IAN, REG, DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS, HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS?
>> Reggie: NEVER HEARD OF IT.
>> I GREW UP I THE 90 ITSEE, I WAS BORN IN THE-- .
>> James: EXACTLY SO NONE OF US REALLY KNOW.
SO THERE MUST BE SOME TRUTH ABOUT THIS, THINK ABOUT GEN Z
FASHION ICONS, BILLIE EILISH, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.
DUA LIPA.
STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE CHALAMET, ONLY MIDDLE.
PLENTY OF MILLENIALS HAVE TAKEN TO THE INTERNET TO DEFEND THEIR
SIDE PART.
ONE WROTE I FEEL LIKE I WILL FOREVER DO A SIDE PART BECAUSE
IN HIGH SCHOOL WE CALLED PARTS DOWN THE MIDDLE A BUTT CRACK
PART.
DOES THAT MEAN I'M MILLENIAL, SORRY, GEN Z.
AND ANOTHER USER WROTE, I SHOULD WARN YOU THERE IS STRONG
LANGUAGE IN THIS, HE SAID I'M OKAY WITH BEING CALLED OLD IF I
WEAR A SIDE PART BECAUSE I AM NOT TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A DANG
PEANUT HEAD.
(LAUGHTER).
>> James: I'M SORRY IF THAT IS DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO HEAR AND I
KNOW I SAY THIS A LOT.
IF SWIN IS NOT TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A DANG PEANUT HEAD, DANG
IT'S ME, AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, YOU CAN GET
THE DANG OUT OF HERE, DANG YOU.
SOK LOO, EVEN MUSIC LEGEND DIONNE WARWICK WADED INTO THE
DEBATE TO DEFEND GEN Z TWEETING I JUST HEARD ABOUT MILLENIALS
VERSUS GEN Z.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MILLENIALS WHY YOU CARE WHAT TEENAGERS
THINK ABOUT YOU.
LET THEM HAVE FUN THE SAME WAY THAT YOU DID.
YEAH, DIONNE WARWICK, MIDDLE PART ACTIVIST.
NOW LIKE IT OR NOT THE YOUTH HAVE SPOKEN.
THE SIDE PART IS DEAD.
SO WE WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO SOME OF THE GREAT
SIDE PARTS FROM OVER THE YEARS.
GOOD-BYE SIDE PART AND THANKS FOR THE MEMORY.
♪ I WILL REMEMBER YOU.
♪ WILL YOU REMEMBER ME.
♪ DON'T LET YOUR PASS ME BY.
♪ >> James: WELL, WE HERE AT THE
LATE LATE-- WE HERE AT THE "LATE, LATE SHOW" CERTAINLY
AREN'T GOING TO BE LEFT BEHIND ON THIS TREND.
STARTING TODAY WE ARE TO A MAN OFFICIALLY A MIDDLE PART SHOW.
TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE ROOM.
I MEAN LOOK AT IAN.
TAKEN YEARS OFF YOU.
REGIE, HAGA.
MY FAVORITE IS MIKE, CAN WE LOOK AT MIKE?
MIKE I DON'T KNOW WHETHER MIKE IS LIKE A SKATEBOARDING DAD OR
JUST THE SORT OF HOMELESS VAGA BOND WHO CAN'T LET GO, DO YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
FEELING SOME SIZZLE ON THAT CENTER PART?
ROB, HOW DO YOU FEEL WITH THIS CENTER PART THING?
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S FOR ME, MAN.
>> James: YOU FEELING GOOD WITH T IAN.
>> NO, I FEEL REALLY BAD.
>> James: I CAN'T SEE WHAT I LOOK LIKE.
OH, GOD.
I LOOK LIKE PART CHOIR BOY, PART CAN I INTEREST YOU IN A MORTGAGE
LOAN.
>> I THINK I COULD MAYBE DO IT WITHOUT THE MUSTACHE.
I THINK THE MIDDLE PART AND THE MUSTACHE IS SENDING REAL BIG I
JUST SNUCK INTO THE SCHOOL VIBES.
YZ YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE GOT TO DO MIDDLE PART THE MUSTACHE.
>> OH.
>> James: YOU HAVE TO PART THE HAIR AND TAKE THAT LINE STRAIGHT
DOWN SO YOU HAVE THE MUSTACHE THERE AND THERE AND THAT'S IT.
>> IKE MOSSES IS PARTING MY ENTIRE FACE.
>> James: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO THAT IS US, GUYS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GEN Z, THAT IS WHO WE
ARE.
YEAH.
WELL, IS THAT HOW YOU DO IT?
IS THAT RIGHT?
I DO I GO THE WRONG WAY, WE'RE GEN Z HOLD IT UP.
>> Reggie: HOLD IT UP.
>> James: GEN Z.
THIS IS A THING THAT PEOPLE DO.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT GEN Z DO.
>> Reggie: THEY WILL NOW.
>> THEY DO NOW.
>> James: WELL, THAT'S US, GUYS, A GEN Z MIDDLE PART SHOW,
SIDE PART, YOU WERE GOOD TO US BUT REST IN PEACE.
