About This Podcast
Join Heather and Nicole as we discuss all things Gen-X with personal nostalgia, current events, and an advocacy for the rights of all humans. From music to movies to television and so much more, revisit the generational trauma we all experienced as we talk about it all. Take a break from today and travel back to the long hot summer days of the 80s and 90s. Come on slackers, fuck around and find out with us!

Sometimes The Clothes Do Not Make The Man
One dumb joke can derail hundreds of people’s day, and one great song can define a decade. We start out in classic Like Whatever mode with best-friend banter, post-sickness exhaustion, and a headline…
Please Don't Die
You can’t forget a slogan that’s been burned into your brain since elementary school, and that’s exactly what makes America’s safety mascots so fascinating. We’re Gen X, so our childhood came with a…
Do Effing Better
Lorena Bobbitt’s name got frozen in time as a late-night punchline, but the real story is about domestic violence, marital rape, and what happens when the public treats a survivor’s trauma like…
The Parent Trap

In Da AARP Club We Gonna Party Like It's Your Birthday
The red AARP envelope is one of the strangest American milestones: it’s mailed like a harmless membership perk, but it lands like a quiet announcement that time is moving faster than you want to…
Flannel, Cigarettes, and Highway‑Volume Therapy
Your brain wants nostalgia and your body wants a grilled cheese, so we follow both threads until they collide with a wall of fuzzy guitars. We start with the very specific Gen X comfort-food…
The Original Fake News
A Jeopardy champion explains his favorite number using an F-shaped stick from childhood, and somehow that tiny piece of logic becomes the perfect on-ramp to a much bigger question: why do people…
From Apollo’s Light To Artemis’s Shadow
Forty-one minutes. No telemetry, no voices, no way to help. That’s what it feels like when a crewed spacecraft slips behind the Moon and the signal dies, even in 2026. We sit with that fear and awe,…
Yes Virginia There Is A Boogeyman
Serial killers weren’t just “true crime” to us. They were a constant hum in the background of growing up: news anchors saying names like Bundy and Gacy, parents warning about strangers, and that…
Nicole’s International House of Hijinks
Nobody warned us that menopause could look like this: 3 a.m. wakeups, brain fog that steals your words mid sentence, and a “frozen shoulder” that makes taking off a T shirt feel like a full contact…
Talk Dirty To Me
Daytime talk shows didn’t just entertain us, they trained a whole generation to watch strangers confess, fight, reconcile, and melt down before dinner. We’re Nicole and Heather, and we dig into how…
Raised By Resistance, Raising The Reckoning
Dinosaurs turning into birds shouldn’t make you think about feminism, but somehow it does when you’re a Gen X woman with a cranky “tiny T-Rex” bird, a Netflix queue, and zero patience for pretending…
Public Ally Not All Heroes Wear Clocks
What if the loudest hype man of an era was also one of its most surprising humanitarians? We pull back the curtain on Flavor Flav’s wild, complicated arc—self-taught musical prodigy, Public Enemy’s…

A Miracle In The Midst Of Madness
A cold rink, a loud crowd, and a country craving something to believe in. We take you back to Lake Placid for a cinematic, breath-by-breath retelling of the Miracle on Ice—how a roster of college…
The Real Mandela Effect
A rumor sparks the mic and the conversation swerves—first through a tabloid-scented headline and a fresh round of Cobain speculation, then straight into sunlit confessionals from an all-inclusive in…
Media Circus On Ice: Olympic Class War
A single cry in a Detroit hallway became one of the most replayed clips of the 90s—but the loudest part of the Kerrigan–Harding saga wasn’t the baton. It was the story that followed. We open with a…
Goldblumageddon Unbuttoned
What do you do when the world ices over and the roads turn to glass? You make tea, invite a snoring pug to the mic, and chase joy straight into Jeff Goldblum’s gloriously weird filmography. We start…
