GenX Guys

This week, JD and Len kick things off by talking through the highs and lows of the week, including the frustration of having a catalytic converter stolen. From there, the conversation shifts to space as they discuss the upcoming Artemis II mission and reflect on the lasting impact of the Challenger disaster and what it meant to their generation.

The fun picks up when Len turns the tables and quizzes JD on 80s music titles, leading to plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and a few tough sound-based challenges. To wrap things up, the guys give their thoughts on some of the latest movie trailers, including He-Man and Supergirl, and share whether the upcoming releases have them excited or skeptical.

This week we talk about the mess sports streaming has created for fans, the NBA’s 65-game issue and how today’s players compare to past generations, then Len takes on a cartoon theme song guessing challenge before we wrap with a debate on live singing versus lip syncing in concert.

This week on GenX Guys, we kick things off with the return of BTS and Len fully embracing his K-pop superfan status. From there, we talk about some of the biggest stadium concerts we’ve ever attended and the unforgettable energy that comes with live shows on that scale. Then it’s time for another round of fun as Len tries to guess classic 80s TV shows just by hearing their theme songs. We wrap up the episode by looking back at Chuck Norris, his larger-than-life popularity, and some of the movies fans should check out to remember his career and impact.

In this episode, the GenX Guys talk about how collector culture is shifting. Classic cars may not have the same hold on younger generations, while comic books and card collecting and trading continue to grow in popularity and value. JD and Len explore why some collectibles endure while others seem to be fading.

They also have some fun with an 80s movie sound-byte trivia challenge before closing out with NFL free agency talk, including reactions to the Maxx Crosby news and the Baltimore Ravens situation.

JD and Len talk 30-year marriage lessons, react to the Rock Hall nominees (including Iron Maiden), debate whether the Hall should be renamed, and discuss recent world events and impact on others.

This week we celebrate the Olympics and Team USA men’s hockey winning gold, then shift into how recent celebrity passings spark serious nostalgia for our youth. We wrap up with the latest TSA changes and why travel keeps getting more complicated.

This week we go deep on AI colliding with Hollywood, as studios and industry groups push back on the latest video-generation tools and the growing fear that “creation” is turning into copyright chaos.

This week on GenX Guys, we kick off with some real-life health updates and turn it into a bigger conversation on what keeps us mentally sharp and physically strong—workouts, routines, and the habits that actually help when life gets busy. Then we slide into Winter Olympics talk: the events we never miss, the ones that amaze us most, and the one event we’d attempt ourselves (with mixed confidence). We wrap with football—reacting to the NFL Hall of Fame news and locking in our Super Bowl winner and score predictions. Equal parts life, laughs, and big-game debate.

This week we go big-picture: what is religion, and do people truly believe—or is belief sometimes more about comfort, community, fear, hope, or how we were raised? From there we wrestle with a darker idea: if “only the good die young,” does that make it feel like evil is winning… or even running the world?

Then we shift into a heavy GenX moment with the passing of Catherine O'Hara—another iconic thread tied to our childhood and the movies/TV that shaped us.

We close with a sports reality check: the modern Pro Bowl Games—does it matter anymore when so many alternates get pulled in and the “honor” starts to feel watered down?

This episode jumps from real-life weather drama to pure GenX nostalgia and straight into championship football. We kick things off with the winter storm sweeping across America, how it’s impacting people, what it reminds us of, and the last time we can remember a storm that felt this widespread and intense. From there, we rewind to the golden era of 80s cartoons, including He-Man, and talk through the past and upcoming live-action adaptations on the way, what we hope they get right, and why these shows still hit decades later.

Then it’s all football: we break down the latest NFL playoff games, the biggest moments, what surprised us, and which teams will play in the Superbowl. We wrap with the College Football Championship and Indiana getting their first ever national title.
