January 09, 2020Y2K
Y2K really turned out to be a whole lot of nothing when 2000 came around, but that doesn’t stop us from talking about it! Reactions ranged were from “whatever” to “we’re all going to die.” Join us as we talk about what the whole thing was about, some real concerns that most people were not paying attention to, and what actually happened when we rolled over into the new millenium.

January 02, 2020Looking Back on Looking Forward 2019
On each episode of the GenXGrownUp Podcast, we talk about the things we’re looking forward to. Often we follow up on these topics on a subsequent episode, but sometimes those topics slip through the cracks.

For this show, we’ve scoured every episode from the past year to find anything we were looking forward to that sort of dropped off the radar and we didn’t talk about it again. What happened? Did we see/do that thing? If yes, was it worth looking forward to?

Join Jon, Mo, & George in this look back at the things we were looking forward to in 2019!

November 28, 2019GenXGrownUp’s Top Ten Weird Al Parodies
They say you haven’t really made it in the music industry until Weird Al Yankovic makes a parody of one of your songs. Well, if you ask folks like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Coolio, Micheal Jackson, and Nirvana (well you can’t really ask the last two but you know what I mean) then there could be something behind that statement! Join us as we argue, backstab, and connive to get our favorite Weird Al parodies into the Official GenXGrownUp Top Ten!
