Description: BT dives into the oddly therapeutic experience of shoveling snow before launching into a nostalgic, fiery rant about the decline of true winter mischief. He reminisces about two dangerous but fun activities from his youth—"skitching" on the back of UPS trucks and the essential rite of passage: pelting cars and buses with snowballs. His disappointment peaks when he encounters a group of kids at a stop sign, actively engaged in a snowball fight, who completely FAIL to throw a single snowball at his car. BT views this as a symbol of how much things have changed, arguing that the fear of unpredictable drivers and consequences has killed the spontaneous, risky fun of his generation. He concludes that this chapter of childhood recklessness is officially shut.
