Gen X Men Pod

Gary and Bill are back with Episode 16. A tribute to road trips when we were growing up X. Gary's parents loved to make stops on trips, while Bill's dad was a no nonsense "no time for stops" type. 11 people, 1 bathroom at Christmas? check. Flat tire on the Jersey turnpike in the rain? Check. First flights not until we were in our 20's? Check! Nobody back in the day was flying...

Into the New Year! Gary and Bill are kicking off the new year with a show that covers nearly everything. Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve (before Ryan took over), resolutions and weight loss for the new year, will Disclosure Day just be a way for governments to judge if humans are ready for "non human intelligent beings?". Finally, the guys give their 2026 predictions and discu...

It's the Christmas Special Podcast! Well, not really, it's just Episode 14 and it happened to fall along Christmas Eve Day. Gary and Bill talk White Christmas (for Gary in Maine) how Marey Carey has made nearly 100 million (and counting) off one song. The boys breakdown the secret to Hallmark Christmas movies and why it doesn't seem like we will get another "classic Christmas movi...

Episode 13 of Gen-X Men Podcast (no, nothing to do with Taylor Swift). Gary and Bill are back and ready for the holidays. Sort of. Gary reviews the "Heart" and "Starship" concert (hint: grandma can still rock it!). Bill recalls seeing the Osmond's when he was barely 5 and then bought an older woman tickets to Hall and Oates so she would drive him to the show back in 1984. T...

Another Gen-X Men Podcast! Gary and Bill talk 45 years since Howard Cosell told us John Lennon was "dead on arrival" while doing Monday Night Football and all the conspiracies around P-Diddy (and some others). Where the internet rabbit hole can take you if you let it. Gary laments the latest money infusion into college sports and the guys debate expansion of March Madness. The last 30 mi...

The boys are back (thanks Thin Lizzy) with episode 11. Gary and Bill talk holiday viewing, what if the Peanuts Gang aged up as Boomers? They break down the logistics of how we found friends back in the day (leaving notes, white board messages and sometimes dumb luck) and discuss a shameful HS football coaching teaching his players one awful lesson. Drop us a note (new school style) in the comments...

It's an X-tra special Gen-X Men Podcast this week. Thanksgiving week, so happy Turkey Day. Gary and Bill look at some of the numbers around Gen X. How many of us still use Facebook? How many of us are watching old reruns on the regular? Why is #GenX considered the "nostalgia" generation? We break it all down on this week's episode. Make sure you like and subscribe and tell around...

Episode 9 of the Gen-X Men podcast has Bill and Gary discussing all those celebrity rumors, playground myths and weird things your mom told you about why you couldn't swim after eating. They dive into Ozzy biting the bat (and earlier...DOVES!), Richard Gere and the gerbil, Gene Simmons and a cow tongue? What? and lots of other lost memories from the Gen-X vault. Fact or Fiction all episode lon...

Bill and Gary are back with another episode! It's episode 8 and despite being a tad under the weather, the guys talk about Veteran's Day and how Gen X was lucky not to have a generational draft, why cookie cutter neighborhoods are the worst and why Hollywood take liberties when telling great stories. Bill looks at the newest trailer for the Michael Jackson upcoming film and the guys lament...

The Gen X Men are back, and this week Bill and Gary are bringing some serious energy — because for the first time on the show, they’ve got a guest joining them at the table.

The Back to the Future guitar is missing...which leads Bill and Gary to discuss other movie/TV props and what happened to them. The last original Jaws? The Ark from Indiana Jones? The Goonies Map? the boys will get you updated on all of those. And remember the MTV 1989 contest "Steal the Batmobile?" Well teenage Gary had a front row seat to the winner and how it ended (poorly) for a VCU...

Bill and Gary discuss the latest news from ChatGPT and why everything always goes to p0rn. Is Gen X the last generation to look at AI with skepticism? Are we all just destined for 1984? The guys give their view of where AI is heading, how it should be used and why they don't ever trust Siri or Alexa. All on the podcast no one asked for, but we are doing anyway.

Bill and Gary dive into roaming the streets on your bike, the dangers (and lessons) of dodgeball and why video game taunting is best done in person.

Bill and Gary discuss some of the best one hit wonders of the 1980's. From Synth-Pop to joke songs that became hits to that one band that got a #1 hit years after they broke up. It's a musical walk down memory line with some of the top songs of the 1980's. All of them reaching the top 10 of the American Top 40....and never returning to the top 10 again. Did we miss your favorite? Drop...

Bill and Gary discuss the latest documentaries on Charlie Sheen and Bon Jovi and debate the best years of Gen X movies. Welcome to the podcast nobody asked for but we decided to do anyway.
