Gen X Summer Break: 90 Days of Freedom

The funny thing about Gen X summers wasn't what we did. It was the freedom. For a few months every year, we belonged entirely to ourselves. No schedules. No phones. No GPS. No notifications. Just bikes, friends, and the promise that tomorrow would probably be another great day. And maybe that's why we still remember those summers so vividly

Will You Go With Me? Gen X Dating Wasn't Easy

This week on Gen X, Are We Adults Yet?, we're walking through the complete life cycle of Gen X dating—from the first crush to the first heartbreak. Before texting, social media, and dating apps, relationships started with real courage and real risk. First, you had a crush. Then came the investigation: Does she already have a boyfriend? Who does she like? Who are her friends? Do I even have a chance? If things looked promising, the next mission was getting her phone number. Then came the call. Not a text. Not a DM. An actual phone call to her house, where her dad, mom, or annoying little brother might answer first. Then came the hangouts: Teen night Bowling alleys Football games Pizza parlors Arcades The mall Eventually, if you survived all that, you worked up the nerve to ask the ultimate Gen X question: "Will you go with me?" From there, we're covering it all: First dates First kisses First base Long-term high school relationships Gossip Rumors Cheating Breakups Friend zones Public humiliation And how the entire school somehow knew your business by lunch the next day Dating wasn't easier back then. It was awkward. It was terrifying. It was exciting. It was real. Join us as we revisit the victories, the disasters, the heartbreaks, and the unforgettable moments that made Gen X dating an experience no app could ever recreate. Because before swiping right... There was only one question that mattered: "Will you go with me?"

Memorial Day After School Special.

Gen X was raised patriotic, we were raised to LOVE our country, we may disagree on government, that’s ok, but we love our country. We sang hymms, songs of praise, My country tis of thee , sweet land of liberty of thee I sing… Why do we have such a great country? WHY do we have the freedoms we do? WHO makes up our Military? AMERICANS, Sometimes we lose AMERICANS in combat or other missions and Memorial Day honors THEM. The Fallen.

Gen X has been waiting for Aliens!

Gen X is no stranger to Aliens! Why are we not afraid? Why do we welcome this other worldly phenomenon? We grew up with Aliens, the great gazoo? Invasion of the Body Snatchers? E.T.? We've been prepared for this!

How Gen X Started A podcast in their Garage and kept it going.

“No headphones. No soundproofing. No clue what we were doing. Just a powered speaker on the garage floor and two Gen X guys deciding to hit record.”
