This week the guys discuss the impact that the Fab Four has had on their lives (especially Rocky's).  Like all Gen X'ers, they experienced the Beatles phenomenon second hand, as they were still very young when the band broke up.  In spite of that, they discovered the music through their parents, grew to love it as youngsters, and blossomed into full-fledged fanatics with the release of the albums on CD during their college years.  Join us on this Magical Mystery Tour! 

Part III in our series of that bastion of entertainment for our generation... Saturday Night Live.  This episode takes us to the late 80's, when Lorne Michaels was back, and the show had (in our opinion) the greatest cast in its history.  Some may argue with us, and that's OK, but c'mon!  Dana Carvey?!  Dennis Miller?! Kevin Nealon?! Phil Hartman?! Jon Lovitz?! Jan Hooks?! Nora Dunn?! Victoria Jackson?! Then sprinkle in Mike Meyers, David Spade, Tim Meadows, Rob Schneider, Julia Sweeny... that's quality!  Join us for some of our memories of the show during this era!

Part two in our SNL series!  After the departure of the entire first cast, and producer Lorne Michaels, the show fell on down times.  But, largely thanks to one young cast member, the show was saved from the brink of extinction and began a climb that lead to (in our opinions) one of the best casts/eras in the show's history!  But that's a story for next week...  For now, let's pay a visit to Mister Robinson's Neighborhood!

The guys start a three part series on Saturday Night Live!  This show has spanned decades, and covers all generations from Boomers to Gen Z.  The first cast, which took the show from 1975-80 was absolutely groundbreaking.  While the hosts were too young to remember the first season or two, the definitely started watching in the late 70's.  Much of the humor went right over their heads at the time, but that only makes it that much more fun to go back and revisit some of those old skits from an adult's perspective.  Come along with us... it's going to be a great ride!

Season 3 is upon us, and it brings a name change with it.  Since our podcast is all about Gen X and memories from the 70's, 80's and 90's, we thought the Podcast name should reflect that!  The guys reflect on what it means to be "Generation X" and lay out some of their hopes for the future of the podcast.  

We learned so many life lessons from watching the Brady Bunch as youngsters. For example, middle children are invisible, the annual Meat Cutter’s Ball is the height of social sophistication, cheap shampoo can turn your hair (and rabbits) orange, and most importantly… tiki idols found in Hawaii are uniformly GOOD LUCK!!! Join us as we reflect on this sitcom that continues to bring us joy to this day! #TheBradyBunch

Methods of communication are sure different today than they were back in our day! Now, you have cell phones, texting, instant messaging, and notifications to see if someone has read your message!! We relied on landlines, and carefully crafted notes passed stealthily from one party to another. These often determined our relationship status, and we relied on highly scientific methods for determining our mutual futures… would you live in a mansion? Drive a BMW? Who remembers this? Fondly? Yeah, us too!

As children of the 80’s, we LOVED The Karate Kid! And, we waited with bated breath when word of a new streaming series based on the original movie series was coming! How could that possibly go wrong?! Well, you could start with… oh, there I go again being a negative Nellie! I’ll stop. It’s OK if we have different opinions about things, right. Let’s just sit down over a couple of cold Coors Banquets, and discuss!
