Episode 80: Generation Gap

Business is slow at The Brew so Mazolli signs on with a crew picking pears and apples at a nearby organic orchard. He starts early in the morning, when the air is still cold, and works almost all the daylight hours. He’s older than most of the other pickers. They call him gramps. He thinks this is funny and calls the younger pickers punks. You punks think you know everything, he says. I’m tired of that. You don’t know nothing. You’re all just a bunch of punks. Punks, I tell you. Nothing but punks, every last one of you.
