Gen Whine

Three months later, and somehow we still have PLENTY to whine about! We're back to wrap up Season 3, and naturally, we've got some catching up to do!Tyler has made a major career change, Tara survived another annual meeting (complete with true crime excitement), and somehow our conversation takes us from Vanderpump Villa drama to Gen X skincare that practically burned your face off.Throw in creepy clowns, holiday chaos, Mariah Carey's annual defrosting, and a Thanksgiving fruit salad that's actually just wine, and you've got a typical episode of Gen Whine.We're also talking about the shows we're watching, the ones we still need to watch, and why Tara continues to insist that NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS IN THE WOODS. It's our Season 3 finale, and we're going out exactly how we came in: completely unsupervised and slightly off-topic.Thanks for sticking with us through the chaos. Here's to Season 4! Follow Us Here https://beacons.ai/genwhinepod One glass. Two generations. Zero filters.

Life was lifing. Hardcore. And apparently it took Gen Whine down with it for a minute. But we’re BACK—and we have a lot to catch up on.Tara finally encountered the infamous Nashville pedal bikes Tyler warned her about and quickly decided she was either doing cardio OR getting drunk, not both. Tyler has been left alone long enough to launch two brands, Tara launched Sipsey, and somehow we also ended up discussing T-zones, true crime, trash TV, drag brunch, why Tara was handed a $2 bill, and the four champagne glasses that may or may not have ended up in her purse.Oh, and Tyler finally has decent internet. No more broadcasting live from the cornfields. Basically, full-time jobs, travel, family, college move-ins, work chaos, and wildly uncooperative schedules kicked our asses—but we missed this.So pour something good and catch up with your favorite Gen X wine auntie and Gen Z wine nephew.We still don’t have our lives together.But at least we found the microphones.

After an unexpected break thanks to family emergencies, travel, graduations, and life generally choosing violence, Tara and Tyler are finally back.This episode is one giant catch-up session as they talk about Tara's mom's broken ankle, Tyler's grandpa's fall, Tyler returning to his old job, and yet another rebrand (because apparently leaving Tyler unsupervised is still a bad idea).They also share updates on Nikki's graduation, Tyler's upcoming trip to Maryland, plans for their first-ever in-person meeting, reality TV assignments, true crime recommendations, Schitt's Creek obsessions, books they're reading, and all the content chaos coming this summer.Basically: life was lifing, but Gen Whine isn't going anywhere.Grab a drink and catch up with your favorite Gen X wine auntie and Gen Z wine nephew.In this episode:Family chaos and recovery updatesTyler's return to the nursing homeThe Oak & Ember rebrandNikki's graduation and college plansPlanning Tyler's Maryland visitReality TV vs. true crime recommendationsSchitt's Creek discussionsBooks, podcasts, and current obsessionsFuture merch, guests, and podcast plansFollow us because apparently we can't stop creating new projects.

We clearly have a problem… and it involves watching too many shows, reading too many books, and somehow still finding more to add to the list.This week, we’re swapping what we’re watching (and forcing each other to watch), including Schitt’s Creek, messy reality TV, cult documentaries, and movies that had us yelling at the screen.We also get into:• assigning ourselves Schitt’s Creek characters (yes, Tyler is David)• the ever-growing watch list we may never finish• book chaos — because apparently one book at a time is not an option• and planning Tyler’s summer visit, which includes wineries, concerts, and possibly convincing him to move to Frederick Basically… we have zero free time and no intention of fixing that. Listen and tell us what we should add to our already out-of-control list.

We were supposed to record this episode weeks ago… and then life said absolutely not.So this is your official Gen Whine catch-up episode — chaotic, unfiltered, and very on brand.This week we’re talking about:• the shows we’re forcing each other to watch (and why we wait forever to start them)• Tyler’s fashion show experience featuring upcycled looks… including trash bags and bingo cards• a new bar discovery that might actually pass the Gen X test• and the accidental creation of “Lazy Girl Wine Pairings” (yes, Girl Scout cookies and Pinot Grigio are involved)Life has been life-ing, but we’re still here — and apparently chaos is the brand.Got a snack you want Tara to pair with wine? Or a show we need to watch? Send it our way.

Season Three is officially underway, and somehow… we left each other alone again.In this kickoff episode, Tara and Tyler catch up on life lately—the skincare routine Tyler’s working on, cruise prep via TikTok Shop, and the kind of pop culture conversations that start with the Grammys and spiral into cultural commentary real fast.We talk representation in music, the role TV shows play in shaping culture, and why joy, laughter, and not taking everything so seriously feels essential right now.No agenda. No polish. Just Gen X and Gen Z doing what we do best—talking it out.Welcome to Season 3. Press play.

Before we even hit record, things were already off the rails.

Tyler was breaking in a brand-new microphone, Tara’s chair randomly decided to lower itself, and the only solution was balancing a mic on three books so people could actually hear her. So yes — this episode starts with chaos before the episode even starts.

From there, we spiral (as usual).

In this episode, we get into:

Tyler accidentally setting a grandfather clock to chime every 15 minutes for eight straight days

The mutual realization that neither of us should ever be trusted to mow a lawn

Tara recommending Dash & Lily and Tyler binge-watching the entire series in one night

Why Wine Country still holds up — and whether we should plan our own version

Tyler recommending books Tara finishes in two days (and why he now needs a new strategy)

We also take a moment to welcome home actual Uncle Dave, who just returned after two years of service in Qatar, explain why Tara has been confusing him with Uncle Dustin (who will be joining us for the first episode of Season 3), and tease future guest appearances — including our Canva-obsessed friend Kat.

Oh, and there’s a red notebook involved. If you know, you know.

Season 2 is officially in the bag.

No instructions. No lawn skills. Just vibes. 🍷🎙️

This episode of Gen Whine: Gen Z Meets Gen X is what happens when holiday pop culture, wine, and zero structure collide.We get into the Mariah Carey 2025 Christmas special—which Tara tried to find but absolutely refused to subscribe for, Maureen fully listened to and then found visuals of the costumes to share with the class, and Tyler came prepared with all the tea ....From there, Tyler sends Tara down the rabbit hole of The Mistletones, resulting in immediate attitude and the realization that it’s basically a holiday version of Mean Girls.Things spiral (as they do) when Maureen Chaves Sanchez shares the story of her husband attending wine camp—and why she tracked him. Lightly. Casually. For love.Add in a speed-read book report, a wildly productive day, a cookie exchange recap, Tara’s Christmas gift from her boss, and a Gen Whine hoodie cameo—and you’ve got peak holiday chaos.No radio voice. No subscriptions. Just vibes.

Tyler. Started. Another. Business.This is why Tara can’t leave him alone.This week on Gen Whine, we dive into: Tyler’s latest unsupervised venture A TikTok comment calling podcasts with AI “lazy” (Gen X vs Gen Z showdown ensues) Uncle Dustin announcing he wants to be a Season 3 guest Next week’s guest — our girl Maureen!
