About This Podcast

This podcast takes a light hearted look at generational differences about all manner of topics. We explore everything from pop culture to finance to relationships and politics, but, only at a very shallow level and through our generational lenses. We don't aim to be controversial or be the authoritative voice on any topic. We are just here to rap about things that we think are cool and fun to talk about. Also, as a dad, it is my opportunity to publicly and on the record prove that I am always right and my teens are wrong. Gen X was the best time to grow up and I'll show that to my teens!
