The Gen-X-istentialists

Mentally 27, Physically 52: The Great Gen-X Identity Crisis


Listen Later

Mentally, we’re still in 1995. Physically, the check-engine light is flashing.

Bunny and Scot are back from a "vacation" that turned into a reality check on the aging process. After Bunny’s mid-surgery medical scare and Scot’s upcoming battle with "trigger finger," the guys dive into a heavy question: Are we trying to preserve the people we used to be, or are we terrified of who we’re becoming?

Inside this focused deep-dive:

  • Medical Realities: Why being middle-aged feels like a series of unexpected pit stops at the hospital.
  • The Age 27 Sweet Spot: Why the Gen-X brain tends to park itself in its late 20s while the body moves into its 50s.
  • Grocery Store Radio: The existential horror of singing along to Duran Duran in the frozen food aisle while teenagers roll their eyes.
  • Ellipsism & Immortality: A philosophical look at Concrete Blonde’s Bloodletting and the realization that history will eventually move on without us.
  • The Tech Bridge: Why the sound of a 56k modem is the ultimate generational dog whistle for the last group of humans who remember the analog world.

Whether you’re still wearing your 90s confidence or you’re just trying to figure out how to operate a tablet without calling your kids for help, this episode is a raw, funny, and straightforward look at the evolution of an "old soul."
