Gen X, Y, & I

In this episode our regulars are joined by a new podcast guest, a positive Gen Xer, Laura. 

It was fun for us to call out and remember our best friends. Perhaps, however, the most interesting part of this episode is how each of us came up with different reasons for what makes best friends best friends. 

Listen to Episode 5.3 and find out what they are and if you think they all matter.

Join our regulars and our first Silent Generation and oldest guest, Betty, for a fun discussion about women's and men's fashions over four generations.

This episode is fun, funny and informative comparing fashions that go back 80+ years over 4 generations. It's about poodle skirts, pedal pushers, skinny and stonewashed jeans, being dapper, zoot suits, wishing men's fashions could go back to the 1920s, ringer washers, ironing underwear and more. 

Dar, Chris and Bob (regulars) start us off with Season 5  by comparing our high school dating rules and experiences from three generational perspectives with surprising contrasts. Can you guess who followed the rules and who didn't? 

Reminiscing and telling our stories brought out both laughter and questions. Did it help us find our life partner that we married?

Bet you can't help to reminisce about your own high school days for better or worse.

Helen and Layla return as our guests along with a cameo from Chris for a special final episode of season 4. This episode has four generations sharing their unique phrases and slang. 

Bet you're not familiar with all the phrases mentioned in this episode. Here's a few examples: fiddlesticks, jalopy, phat, home slice, dip, diss, bae, fomo, aura, riz, dress to the nine and girl math. 

Listen and learn about the special, secret languages of four generations. 

Our friend, Helen, returns as our guest millennial to help us with this important topic. It's important because love and relationships are a primary force that can result in happiness or misery. 

Episode 11 is especially thought-provoking as we each share our multi-generational life's lessons and experiences and some of these stories should resonate with you. 

We always ask for comments from our listeners. This time it's with a PLEASE that you share your important life experiences about making and keeping relationships because we can share it anonymously and your story could help someone else. Use [email protected].

Millennial Chris, our production guy, joined us again for this episode. 

We've all made mistakes and maybe some we regret. In this episode we discuss both kinds of mistakes and we get a little deep and philosophical about the consequences of making life's choices.

It's hard to admit mistakes and especially those we regret, but Episode 4.10 has us digging up past choices made to discuss what we usually don't discuss in public.

We welcome back our friend Helen from Chicago to share her pet story. 

Most people would agree that pets have been or are an important part of their lives and the stories in this episode would definitely confirm that statement. Perhaps that's why this episode has some of the funniest stories along with some sadness. 

I know I've said it before, but you don't want to miss this episode. Episode 4.9 has it all. 🙂

Jen, one of our original members, joins us in what became one of our most far ranging episodes. We usually stick to the topic, but not this time. Episode 8 starts on topic with rumors, but quickly transitions to reputations in high school, whether you want to be popular and talked about, do opposites attract and finally partners evolving in marriage. All that in only 13 minutes. Bet you won't find that in another podcast. 😏

Season 4 still has four more fun and interesting episodes. Look for them about every 2 weeks.

This episode is about the hardest job , but it's about a lot more than a hard job. It's about struggle, perseverance, learning, benefits, survival, and getting stronger. 

Our guest millennial, Chris, join our regulars Dar and Bob to tell three very different stories of their struggles with a hard job and how they coped, benefited and ultimately learned and became stronger. It's true, if it doesn't kill you you can become a better and stronger person, but what factors help make that happen? Listen to Episode 7 and see if you can find out.

Most everyone has a restaurant story and the ones we tend to remember are usually the bad experiences. Our friend Helen joins us again as our guest millennial in this episode and we do not disappoint. Hear stories of raw fish staring off the plate 🐟, being cheated on chintzy gluten-free food, and being cussed out in the parking lot by wait staff 🤬 . Oh! Almost forgot, there are  positive stories and even a money-saving tip on a chain restaurant.

Join us and we guaranteed you will not be bored.
