Some of them were bringing up shows from the 50's and 60's (Twilight Zone, etc), LOL. The point is more that when a bunch of old fuckers get together in a room of similarly aged people, they sometimes forget they are old fuckers as they discuss from the shared perspective of a chronological peer group.
I'm here making sure no one forgets how fucking old we are now so we all manage our value to society appropriately.
We are the grumpy old curmudgeons now, and that should be kept in mind as people think about how relevant their opinions are. The more time goes on, the more our perspective on life becomes irrelevant.
