And of course, we wrap with the Super...

This week on GenX Guys, we kick off with some real-life health updates and turn it into a bigger conversation on what keeps us mentally sharp and physically strong—workouts, routines, and the habits that actually help when life gets busy. Then we slide into Winter Olympics talk: the events we never miss, the ones that amaze us most, and the one event we’d attempt ourselves (with mixed confidence)....

This week we go big-picture: what is religion, and do people truly believe—or is belief sometimes more about comfort, community, fear, hope, or how we were raised? From there we wrestle with a darker idea: if “only the good die young,” does that make it feel like evil is winning… or even running the world? Then we shift into a heavy GenX moment with the passing of Catherine O'Hara—another iconic t...

We wrap with a playoff temperature check: Divisional Round matchups, who’s bui...

Then we jump into the NFL and the buzz around 44-year-old Philip Rivers potentially coming out of ret...

This week we start with the bombshell news of Netflix buying Warner Brothers and what that could mean for the future of movies. We dig into how this kind of consolidation might shrink traditional theatrical releases, shift more big-budget films straight to streaming, and change the way stories get made. From childhood memories of sticky floors and packed Friday-night premieres to today’s luxury re...

Before Amazon and mobile shopping, the holidays hit differently—mall Santas, packed food courts, and full-on festive energy. This episode jumps from those memories to Thanksgiving parades, NFL traditions, and one big debate: what was going on with the Browns’ coaching decisions at the end of that game?

This week we break down the modern fitness hustle — from influencers selling miracle workout plans to the endless noise around “perfect” routines and quick fixes.

This week, the guys break down the recent election results — from the New York mayor’s race to several governor contests — and question how much the outcomes really tell us when many of these states are long-time party strongholds. They also discuss how both political parties tend to pre-select their candidates, leaving little room for true outsiders. Wrapping things up, they shift gears to colleg...

This episode explores the changing meaning of connection — how Gen X grew up with real-world hangouts while today’s youth connect through screens.

Len’s back from his trip to Korea, and the GenX Guys reunite to catch up and reflect.

We wrap up by tracing the evolution of digital advertising over the past two de...

JD flies solo once again as Len sits this one out — but that doesn’t stop the GenX reflection from running full power. This week, JD dives into the upcoming Tron: Ares movie and takes a trip back to where it all started in 1982 with the original Tron. From the days when computers were a mystery to today’s world run by algorithms and AI, JD breaks down how the film’s message about control, identity...

JD’s flying solo to unpack a week that could’ve been scripted by the 90s — government shutdowns, surveillance tech dreams, and culture wars that refuse to die. He connects the dots from mixtapes to machine learning and reminds us why Gen X might just be the last generation that remembers what freedom felt like before algorithms ran the world.

This week the GenX Guys dig into life abroad versus life at home—does the energy of city living beat the calm of the suburbs, or vice versa?

It’s travel, language, and free expression through a GenX lens—mixing perspectiv...

Then we flip from job boards to scoreboards with our NFL rundown, calling out the highs, lows, and “what the hell was that?” moments from this week’s action.

Then, we kick off the NFL season with a breakdown of the first two games and share our early...
