Hungry As A Hostage

Welcome to The XMXperience.It all started with an idea. An idea that almost became a political podcast… until we realized two things:<ol><li>The world didn’t need another one, and</li><li>Jake and Don (2 Gen Xers) wanted to remain friends.</li></ol>So instead, in December 2024, Jake teamed up with a coworker, Sammie (a Millennial), to ask a much better question: WTF? Not the headline-grabbing kind — the everyday kind. The moments that make you stop mid-sentence, stare into the void, and say it out loud.Jake pitched the idea to Don, politics left firmly off the table, and throughout 2025 the three of them talked about...everything. Life, relationships, work, music, pop culture, personal stories, weird news, bad decisions, good intentions, and the random chaos that somehow connects it all.Somewhere along the way, something clicked.Two Gen-X guys and one Millennial gal turned out to be the perfect mix — different perspectives, shared sarcasm, unexpected insight, blooper reels that never should’ve seen daylight, and fits of laughter that sometimes hijacked the episode entirely. Thoughtful conversations collided with absolute nonsense, and that became the magic.A year later, we’re still asking WTF — but the show grew into something bigger. Same conversations. Same voices. Same chaos. Just a clearer reflection of what it always was.The XMXperience is a front-row seat to life’s unscripted moments — the ones that don’t fit neatly into boxes, the coincidences that feel a little too perfect, and the human experiences that remind us we’re all just winging it together.Life doesn’t follow a script. It improvises, stumbles, and occasionally breaks into interpretive dance.Welcome to The XMXperience — where the unexpected isn’t just entertained… it’s celebrated.
