Man over 50 here and managed to avoid the Keith so far but not the home insurance or package holiday bros.
Number one YouTube line I've heard playing from my father-in-law's phone today is a dude who sounds like Toby Keith saying "men over 50, I'm about to tell you about the viral tomato sauce trick." I assume it's something to do with either buying gold or prostate health, he skips away pretty fast.

”Please, keep Christ in Christmas. But do not stop there. Keep Christ in Christian.” Point but probably too much for the MAGAs.
If you are a Christian, you know already what they practice has nothing to do with God.
