Like my parents are old and don't go to work, so they spend all day watching The Property Brothers. Whenever I call them on the phone they can only tell me about boring poo poo like the weather, or how their dogs got muddy in the rain. What happens to people that make them lame as hell when they turn like 50?

Not all old people are lame. Many are perfectly ambulatory.

They run out of things to talk about or life experiences to share that they haven't already. Life becomes more simple and events such as a dog getting muddy in the rain become more prominent. You probably will find that their stress levels go down and they become more chill - such is the benefit of a simple life.

changes in how your brain works as you age makes it harder to understand changes in things around you, like culture shifts and things like that require increasing effort on the part of a person to stay with, and most people just freeze in place as their brains finalize their development, shy of personality altering disease, drug abuse, etc.

I just don't care to hear them prattle on for 10 minutes about how muddy the dogs were, or how a Little Caesar's opened up down the street and how they like it better than Domino's

My 60 something parents are fun to talk to and I look forward to going back home to see them. In high school they confiscated my brother's weed stash and made it disappear. Good role models.

Your parents are probably lame because they gave birth to you. My parents just came back from a trip from Mars and got me some Moon Cheese.
