The Untitled GenX Podcast

Let's rebirth a Season 1 classic ON REPEAT where Cate and Lori revisit the great Cabbage Patch Kids panic of Christmas 1983 (but not before providing a dramatic reading of "The Legend of the Cabbage Patch Kids" for your listening pleasure).

Lori recounts the horror of being the last kid on Earth without a Cabbage Patch Kid, while Cate lends her midwife expertise to a genuine Cabbage Patch Kid "birth". The besties also get real about the pressures of "adoption" as 7 year olds, sex-ed via the cabbage patch, and just saying no to crazy capitalism on principle.

Happy Almost Groundhog Day! If every. single. day. of the last 22 months has felt like the worst deja vu of your life, Cate and Lori got you, babe. Join the gals ON REPEAT as they get surprisingly deep on 1993’s blockbuster film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliott.

And because no two episodes are alike, the ladies chat about the weird things they've done in the pandemic to feel more alive, porn in waiting rooms, perfect days they wouldn't mind repeating, and the glory of waking up without a care in the world.

As the biting reality of 2022 sets in, you're invited to grab a Big Gulp and get really real with this ON REPEAT presentation of 1994’s Gen X classic, Reality Bites starring Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, and Ben Stiller.

The "emotionally mature" Cate and Lori talk about the passions and pitfalls of loving Troy Dyer types, social security numbers flying freely about on college campuses, littering as a major turn-off, and how trading principles for rent totally bites.

Happy 2022 (or 2020 too?), beautiful people! If it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your last two years, join Cate and Lori as they revisit season 5, episode 11 of Friends, "The One with All the Resolutions" ON REPEAT!

(Yes, this podcast episode originally aired December 2020. And yes, they still think it's a fun listen.)

And because besties tell each other everything, they gossip about sex at midnight, swamp ass, leather while pregnant, farting on a first date, and offer their heartfelt message of love to you in the new year. Cheers!

Lori's very merry to welcome her new best friend, podcaster Big Brother Jake to chat all about the song Mariah Carey calls among her greatest achievements. Yes, little lambs, we’re talking about Mariah’s 1994 immortal holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas is You”.

From Mariah being so much more than "the Christmas song lady" to wholesome pole dancing, best ever gifts, and Mariah's elusive "you," Lori and Big Brother Jake speculate and pontificate on the modern, inescapable earworm that found its way into the classic holiday cannon against all odds. Come for Mariah's waves and kisses, stay for the dogs in sweaters.
