Episode 19 Shovel Ready
Gary and Bill are back! Bill recounts his travel from Providence after nearly making the flight out on Saturday before the storm. The guys talk about the piles of snow and what exactly are you suppose to do when it is growing and growing and growing. Bill shouts out Mason fan Chris D. for taking the reins and making the drive the entire way from Rhode Island to DC. Gary's anxiety was on full display as he watched Alex Honnold free solo up the side of a building. Fear of heights aside, it was a wild watch! (although, we...

Episode 18: Let It Snow
Winter is coming....Gary and Bill discuss the impeding winter storm coming to the East Coast and how Bill is planning on getting home from Rhode Island in the event of a canceled flight. Would you stick it out in a hotel? Or make the drive from Providence Rhode Island back to the DC area? Why older people like to use "ER Uber" when things get dicey. And if you need something to watch while you are snowed in after the NFL games...how about the #starsearch reboot on Netflix? The guys look back at the original "Star Search"...

They talk the latest college basketball scandal as well. Don't you have to get the top guys on the team, not the back ups? NIL doesn't seem to stop the flow of illegal point shaving at the lower levels. The latest video from Minnesota with a citizen "...

Episode 16: Road Trippin'
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 for vacation...it was way cheaper to drive! (and pack your sandwiches) And January 8th is Elvis' birthday. Elvis is more of a boomer icon, but how would he...

Episode 14: Merry Christmas
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 movie" down the road. They also explore whether carrying on the Santa myth is actually lying to your kids/grandkids, and how the boys figured out Santa wasn't...well...you know. Thanks to everyone who takes...

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.

They talk they most seen and best concert experiences and Christmas songs all seem to follow the one main formula. They say a fond farewell to Rob Reiner and Buck Rodgers (RIP...

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.
