We've made into the New York Times, Slackers!

In this week’s episode, I start by giving some love to our own John Cena, who wrestled his retirement match this past Saturday. He’s not the only one, since over the past few years, it seems like most of the Attitude/ Ruthless Agression era stars from our generation have hung up their boots for good.

Next, I debut a new segment called "Weird News Weekly," rounding up some truly odd stories from the past week - including the bizarre fact that MUG root beer now has its own cologne for sale. But it's only available on TikTok?

The main discussion centers on Amanda Fortini’s December 2025 article in T Magazine, “Is Gen X Actually the Greatest Generation?”. The article digs into how we shaped music, film, television, and cultural attitudes in the pre-digital era - from grunge and hip-hop to indie films and animated series like The Simpsons. It’s a bold claim (made with tongue firmly planted in cheek), and while there’s a lot to be proud of, there are definitely some things from our era we need to own up to as well.
