Generation Artax

In this episode of Generation Artax, you're going to learn a few things about Kim: She played guitar in a church band, will not eat in a restaurant alone, and one time, got two hot sophomores to come over to watch Flowers in the Attic. Plus: We revisit the lyrics to Family Ties, the time Brady Bunch went to Hawaii, and the social mecca that was the high school dance. Enjoy. Welcome to Generation A...

In this episode of Generation Artax, we cover it all: backpacking across Europe pre-iPhone, intense sneezing, and the day Jesus flew off a crucifix and hit Lori in the face. Plus: yacht rock, catholic school, depression, anxiety, personal poltergeists, crimes we've committed, and why you shouldn't miss your medication five days in a row. And: Dad butt dials us live on the air. A lot happens in thi...

Lori was having a hard day in May 1993: Kim got rejected from the Peer Leadership program and Mom was yelling about the government—leaving Lori with no one to talk about her problems including her bad rep, small boobs, and the fact that she was going to miss critical episodes of 90210, Melrose, and the last Wonder Years. Plus: Kim and Lori are left to fend for themselves overnight in the hospital,...

Merry Cringemas everybody! And to live up to that name, we've got a show teeming with awkward first kisses, OfficeMax Santa gifts, and a poem Terri wrote to her boyfriend in 1993. Plus: 90s gifts that wouldn't exist today (hi, answering machines!) and our (least) favorite Christmas movie. We wish you a safe and happy holiday season, and thank you for your support of Generation Artax! More at gener...

In March of 1988, when Kim was in the sixth grade, she watched as the boys goaded her friend Amy to walk out over the surface of an icy pond — at which point the ice started to crack, and then broke beneath her. And everyone…laughed. Hysterically. It was a very shallow pond, and no one was hurt. But the peer pressure of it all haunts Kim to this day. Also in this ep: an homage to Paul Reubens, aka...

We kick off this episode of Generation Artax in 1987, where we find Terri in the eighth grade, struggling with the moral complexities of virginity pacts, and if saying you may have sex someday before marriage is as bad as actually doing it. Also, whether Jon Bon Jovi is to blame for at least part of it.  Plus, hear what very different shenanigans Kim gets up to in high school, including negotiatin...

In this episode, why it's worth revisiting your diaries, how religion warped our brains, and why Lori grew up under the impression that Jesus was a big bummer. Plus: Let's get into the quantum physics of it all: Kim manifests the fuck out of a pair of glasses, Terri can channel dead pets, and why Lori thinks believing is seeing.

We will not kick off our FIRST episode of Generation Artax by introducing ourselves, because that puts Lori and Kim in a cold sweat. Instead, we take turns introducing the other sisters to you, to give you a lay of the land of what you're wandering into. Plus: How Terri wanted to get out of every relationship with boys (#gay); Lori was always told she was "too much"; and Kim was so happy it was an...
