Labels are increasingly on the rise: "toxic masculinity," "pansexual," "gender neutral," "progressive," "birther," "one percenter." And while some may be designed in the hopes of raising awareness and inclusiveness, could one make the argument that they're instead doing more to divide/tear us apart? What's the Millennial vs. Gen X take?
More so than perhaps anything else, Millennials and Gen Xers seem to have a really hard time working together, playing nice, and relating to the outlooks, perspective, and expectations of said generational counterparts. How will Brian and Maddie bridge that gap, between both their everyday lives as coworkers, along with those of others? Find out here.
If you had to cite a singular TV show over the course of your entire lifetime, which influenced and shaped you the most, what would it be? Brian and Maddie examine just that (from both a generational, and gender perspective), in this week's episode.
A recent survey from eVite reveals that the average American adult hasn't made a new friend within the last 5-years. Is this perhaps a generational byproduct, via Brian's antisocial/"cranky old man" set? Or, has Maddie the Millennial nailed a different reality, which perhaps bridges that gap between her generation, and said Gen-Xers?
A recent article described Millennials as being, "Generation/no relaxation." How does Gen X compare, along with disparities from a gender perspective? Find out here, and feel free to join the conversation.
For "the olds," loyalty, routine, stubbornness, being close-minded, and "liking what you like" are all most definitely a thing. But in the Millennial world? Not so much. Join Brian and Maddie, as they examine said difference in approach, regarding numerous areas of everyday life.
With the passings of Eddie Money and Ric Ocasek, Gen X is reeling. But is the potential loss of such icons even on the radar of the Millennial set? We explore that, and more, in this episode.
Off of all of the recent Antonio Brown drama in the NFL, and Charles Barkley's contention, from decades ago, that, "...(he was) not a role model" -- how have those heroes and influences been defined across generations, and genders, to this day? Are they even more so, in 2019, a dying breed? And how many from your own childhood eventually went on to let you down, over time (not just from the world of sports, but elsewhere)?
Depression is a subject near and dear to Brian's heart (due to his own history, and battles). This week, he and Maddie run that through the "Bridging the Gap" prism. As it pertains to despair and anxiety, where is that most commonly an issue for Millennials, as opposed to Gen X'ers? And what about women vs. men? How do all of these subsets deal with, and handle such challenges? Whether you've battled these demons yourself, or know someone who is, this is an episode not to be missed.
How do prioritized values like religion, patriotism, and having children differ between Millennials, and Generation X? And where does the common ground lie? Find out here, with Brian and Maddie!
