GEN X TALK with Starchy Archie and Johnny P*****o

Hello again Fellow Gen X Enthusiasts,In this episode Johnny travels to a TV room far far away to have a talk with a young padawan learner named Mr. Producer.  Johnny and Mr. Producer discussed what Star Wars means to 2 members of different generations.  As a GenXer Star Wars is a movie genre that encapsulates a degree of nerdom that was only available in short supply back in the 70s and 80s.  But today Star Wars is offered to be consumed in every possible way.  Back in Gen X times Star Wars was only offered in movies, VHS tapes, cereals, toys, lunch boxes, and an arcade game.  Today Star Wars is offered in many many more mediums.  Thanks for listening to the Gen X Talk Podcast with Starchy and Johnny.

Hello again fellow Gen X Enthusiasts, Johnny loves a good conservative talk radio show.  His favorite morning radio show called "The Phil Cowan Radio Program" that used to run on KTKZ 1380 AM The Answer in Sacramento California ended on Friday April 1st 2022.  Phil Cowan is no longer the host because he rode into the sunset of his retirement.  In this episode, Johnny tries to explain what the Phil Cowan show meant to him with regard to listener participation and engaging with the audience during the show.    Ed Crane is now the new host of "The Ed Crane Show" on this radio station during the slot of 6am to 9am.  Mr. Crane comes from a long line of radio news reporting that includes a morning news program that included a cohost on a competitor station in Sacramento called KFBK NewsRadio 1530 AM.  Before moving to Sacramento Mr. Crane worked for CBS News in New York City back in the 70's and 80's.  Mr. Crane is presenting his show in a peculiar way, where regular callers that used to engage with the former host are not calling in regularly, or as much as they used to.  Johnny is coming to grips with what this new show is and how it is being presented and it is very difficult for him.  Johnny is having a hard time appreciating this show in its current form.   It has become increasingly difficult to appreciate The Ed Crane Show the way he appreciated The Phil Cowan Radio Program.  Thanks for listening.  Check out The Phil Cowan Radio Show Bumper Rotation below:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtsKfLjQkMQlSdSFATUhxP5fmxfXoJcVb#solielsparklingwaterbeveragemangoflavor #genxtalkpodcastwithjohnnypendejoandstarchyarchie

Hello again all 3 of our Gen X Talk podcast listeners.  Starchy Archie and Johnny Pendejo got together for the first time in 2022 to record a podcast episode centered around the rise and collapse of the San Fransicko Fortiners during the 2021 National Foosball League Playoffs.  Starchy shared his disdain for a certain quarterback that is from a certain northern california town, who also went to a certain bay area hippie cauldron college, who plays for a very prominent upper Midwest tundra bay city by the lake.  Subsequently the football gods did not shine favourably on the Cinncinnati Bengals during the most recent Stuper Bowl.  The most epic game was when the the Fortiners beat the Snow Bay Packers during a series of snow flurries at the end of the game.  Johnny shared how difficult the year has been so far and hopes that going forward the new year will get better.  Starchy is doing well and is learning more and more about concrete, politics, and adding fruit juice to whiskey.  He is also adding to his ever largening Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher hard cover library. They also settled the debate over who could have been cast as The Fonz on TV's Happy Days.  Thanks to all 3 of the people that regularly listen to our podcast.  We love you more than you know.  #genxtalkwithstarchyarchieandjohnnypendejo

Hello again Gen X Enthusiasts, In this episode Starchy and Johnny got together to discuss the most amazing and classic movie that celebrates the trials and tribulations of getting home for Thanksgiving.  Released in 1987, Planes Trains and Automobiles was directed by John Hughes and starred Steve Martin as Neal Page and John Candy as Del Griffith.  The movie was a perfectly written comedy to be the ideal example of how bad a business trip can go, especially when attempting to get home in time to celebrate Thanksgiving.  This amazing movie means a lot to Johnny and in this episode he described what he did to make an audio stereo cassette soundtrack during his first year of junior college after being at KYDS 91.5 FM radio in Sacramento during his senior year of high screwl back in 1991.  Johnny went as far as trying to make his own stereo cassette soundtrack after purchasing a used vinyl record of the original motion picture soundtrack of Planes Trains and Automobiles  Johnny also describes the attention that he paid to the progression of the movie and explains how over the years he has tried to remember to keep track of where and what Neal and Del are doing between Tuesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon of Thanksgiving week.  Thank you for listening to the Gen X Talk Podcast with Starchy Archie and Johnny Pendejo.  Special shout out to the Buzzsprouts chap from Brooklyn New York who said that he would listen to our podcast last week.  We hope he enjoys this episode as well.  #genxtalkwithstarchyarchieandjohnnypendejo#planestrainsandautomobiles#johnhughes#nealpage#delgriffith
