I think I'm a pretty smart guy . I say pretty smart things , but I say them to myself , so I want to share them with you now . So that's what the podcast is going to be about Just my everyday goings-ons , experiences , and we'll have guests , have a co-host , we'll do all of that . I'm a failed comedian , multiple hobbyists , so it's going to be funny . It's going to be fun . I'll take you on my fun journey . I know everyone has journeys , but mine is better , mine is a little bit more fun , so we'll do that Anyway . So welcome to the first episode . Thanks for joining . I'll hop to it . I have a few things on my mind And so this episode I want to talk about Gen X , and so I am a Gen X on myself .
Speaker 1We're pretty much a forgotten generation , if you will . I don't really hear much about , as you hear , you know about millennials or whatever they called , and other generation after them , and then boomers . You hear about them because it's easy to say boomer , so you kind of remember it , but no one really talks about Gen X . So I'll just do a little deep dive from my perspective , stuff that I do and think about and how I react to things as a Gen Xer . So you know , and if you agree , let me know . I guess I don't know how it works . I don't have much . I don't really listen to podcasts , i don't have a background in podcast etiquette , so just bear with me and I'll bear with you . Nonetheless , come on , you know , let's do it . Anyway , a couple of things about Gen X . This is what I want to say .
Speaker 1So , cookies , cook with some of those cookies , not the chocolate chip or Oreo or whatever The internet . Cookies , like what ? who needs cookies ? Like , why are you asking me to accept your cookies ? It sounds more like a bribe . You know what I mean . Like , what is that ? I don't even know what it is . Get out of my face . Is it oatmeal , raisin , chocolate chip ? Is it Oreo ? Is it macadamia nut ? No , get out of my face , i don't want . I don't know what it is Cookies out of here , whatever , anyway . So , like you know , we're a little bit older but we still think we're young . And we see you walking down the street and we're about to bump into you . We're going to do the straight up Allen Iverson crossover when you boom , boom , dodging you a little bit And I will knock it out . So don't judge us , maybe a little bit harsh on the knees , but we're crossing you up . Get out of here .
Speaker 1Wrestling So I was thinking about this . To us , wrestling is real . We grew up in that prime era of wrestling WWE , wwf , etc . But we think it's real . Like dude , you getting smacked in the face with a chair , That's real . We will fight tooth and nail to defend our position about wrestling being real . You know , we kind of know it's predetermined in our heads , but no , it's real . It's real .
Speaker 1So present day issues , social issues , political issues , whatever you want to call it . So we don't have an expansive vocabulary . I don't know if that's a word . You know it's a word . We don't really know . We're not gonna be like blah , blah , blah and we think the judgment tool of the partisan ball I went like dude is whack .
Speaker 1What do you think about that ? What do you think about this new policy . What was whack ? See this whack . What was trash , what was garbage ? That's what we say . We don't have to . We don't have no super duper monologue with mad source words Get out of here , you know . So therapy , we don't know what that is Moving on .
Speaker 1So we are at the age where we have teenage to adult children , right . So it's kind of awkward how we discipline them . We're on the fence . We are the generation that we got punched in the face Straight up . So we know you can't kind of do that now . So it's like dude , i want to hit you with a phone book . You're talking on a smack , but that's what . There's no phone books around . So lucky you Anyway dating .
Speaker 1So if you , if you anyone around or over 42 , we know what to do . We know what to do . It's no confusion . We just want to act like we're confused because everyone wants to act like they're confused . We know who needs to ask who out . We know who needs to do what , who needs to open what door , who needs to call who . Like we do , we just want to like , blend in with all the blah blah .
Speaker 1But Gen X , someone over 42 , around that age , we know exactly what to do . So I would say don't let us fool you . But I'm not going to give trade secrets out . So you know , let me know if you , if you agree , being late to work with late to work , because if you're around that age Gen X age you've probably been doing what you are doing for at least over 10 years , so you're over it by now . I'm not , i'm not coming to work on time . Over it , traffic's always an excuse . There's that . So we actually cared about stuff about 10 years ago . I'll throw that in there .
Speaker 1So a little hip hop tidbit Eminem We like Eminem , but not a fan of the beard . We don't know who you are with that beard , eminem , take it off , go shave it Like . You're not Eminem with that beard , you're like some other dude Anyway . So we will still fight . Although we're probably over 30% body fat , you know what I mean We'll still try to take it to you Got a little pudge , but you know we'll still meet you outside All that .
Speaker 1So beef when you say beef , it's not just food for us , you gotta be careful what you talk about . It's like beef is a thing , that's a thing . Anyway , we don't , we don't know about that . Talk it out stuff . It's like , dude , i'm meeting you at the playground three o'clock , three , 15 monkey bars , you and me You know what I'm saying , so that we know about house parties .
You know , we know about . You know you have like 21 dollar bills and you put a $10 bill over it and looks like you , straight up , you got Monet , you know . So we wash out sneakers or tennis shoes , scrape them joints with a toothbrush , like cleaning them is like a sacred ritual . We would pass it down . But I don't know these kids nowadays . But you know , just let me know if you agree . You know , that's , that's just how we roll Anyway .
Speaker 1So our parents , you know bullying , this is how we dealt with bully . Our parents , hey , you better fight that bully or fight me , and you live with your parents . So that would be a ongoing fight . So they would also say stuff to us like , hey , what are you cooking tonight ? Like what ? Yeah , fight that bully , come cook night's over , anyway . But we know stuff about noodles and noodles , cds , tapes , good old Nintendo . We don't know what the word offensive means . We know what the word offense means , but you know , we got that covered anyway . So I wanted to talk to you about Gen X , and I just had these ideas , and as I come up with more ideas , i'll let you know , but I think I think that is a very descriptive characteristic of my generation . You know , we're dope , we're stuck in the middle , we're like that sandwiched generation . You know what I mean . But so yeah , until next time , just keep rocking that 30% body fat with pride . Gen X is So , keep it real And that's all that .
