We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

This episode of GenX Wasteland dives into the unique collision of pop culture overload and the lingering effects of latchkey childhoods that defined a generation raised with independence, isolation, and endless 80s/90s media as both escape and emotional outlet. I can't think of anyone better for this grunge odyssey than Mark Radulich. We explore how constant consumption of movies, music, and reboots can fuel burnout while simultaneously reopening old wounds from an era of minimal parental oversight and maximum self-reliance. Through raw Gen X perspective, the conversation unpacks resilience, nostalgia, and why today's endless streaming cycle hits different for those who grew up with MTV scarcity and mixtape therapy.

If you've read the wine headlines lately, you'd think wine is over. Younger generations don't drink it. Wellness concerns have people cutting back. Baby boomers are aging out of the market.But according to Dr. Liz Thach, President of the Wine Market Council and one of the world's most respected wine researchers, that story is incomplete. Turns out younger generations ARE drinking wineOn this week's Sip Sip Hooray podcast, Liz joined us to share brand-new research from the Wine Market Council — and the picture she paints is far more nuanced, and far more hopeful.Liz is a Master of Wine, an educator, author, and longtime professor who lives at the crossroads of wine, business, and culture. She asks the big questions about how wine is made, sold, and enjoyed, and she has a gift for connecting what's happening in the vineyards and boardrooms to what ends up in our glasses.Recent Wine Market Council research finds Millennials are now the largest wine-drinking generation in the U.S., surpassing Boomers faster than expected. Gen X remains steady. And Gen Z? They do like wine — they just drink it differently.Liz gives us an insight into her organization's forward-looking research on the U.S. wine consumer buying habits, attitudes, and trends for 2026.

Matt Hampton and Dr Tom Ingegno came into my world the way the best guests always do. They found me first. They pulled me onto their Irreverent Health Podcast, a show that blends medicine, curiosity, and unapologetic nonsense the same way Gen X kids blended Saturday morning cartoons with nuclear-war anxiety. We recorded together, we went off the rails together, and by the end I told them the rule. If you ever come to New York, you sit in my studio. No exceptions.They showed up. They took the hot seat. They told Alexa to shut up. They joked about Postmates. They compared bifocals before I even hit record. From there it turned into a full blown eighties time machine powered by weed policy, AI diagnostics, acupuncture philosophy, art school trauma, cannabis data science, paranormal detours, and the kind of deep cut pop culture references only Gen X survivors can decode.Matt builds AI systems. Tom heals people with needles and a lifetime of East Asian medicine. Together they make healthcare funny without pretending it works. They remind you that curiosity carries weight when the system collapses under its own stupidity.This episode is a reunion of three loudmouths raised on Atari, late night cable, and the hard lesson that you either tell the truth or get flattened by it.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taste of Mia asking which generation of parents is top of the leaderboard on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the complete episode of The Generation Who Wins Parenting at 5pm today. Not a subscriber, you say? Do yourself a favour.What happens when Gen X realises she’s starting to look like her mum — and that her kids are now the age she was when she thought her parents were ancient? A very MMOL conversation, that’s what. In this subscriber-only episode, Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens unpack how parenting has shifted across generations — from Boomer hands-off freedom, to Gen X helicoptering, to Millennial optimisation, expertise and AI-assisted anxiety spirals. They talk latchkey childhoods, being raised by parents who were very much the main characters, and why modern parenting feels like a never-ending performance review. There’s guilt, control, tracking apps, bedtime boundaries, feminist car lectures, and the uncomfortable truth that our kids don’t magically become independent just because they turn 18. Outlouders, we want to hear from you: did you parent the way you were parented — or swing wildly in the opposite direction? Let us know in Mamamia Outlouders.Remember, this is your little treat; a sample of the full subs experience. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

Dr Ginni Mansberg is many things: Qualified GP and resident TV doctor on Sunrise and The Morning Show. Author of How to Handle Your Hormones and expert in mid-life changes (she’s known as ‘The Menopause Whisperer’). Co-founder of ESK Skincare and hardcore into evidence-based ingredients. And one of the hosts of Unleashed, Mamamia’s brand new podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh right now. In this episode of The Formula, Dr Ginni joins Kelly McCarren to break down how hormones can impact your skin, and the peri and menopausal skin changes that can happen when you hit the mid-life stage. Plus, Dr Ginni explains why you should care about the pH of your skincare products, the difference between prescription and over-the-counter Vitamin A products, and the ingredients that are a waste of your money, according to the research. *** In this episode, we discuss skincare actives (including retinoids), managing irritation and skin barrier support, and general approaches to concerns like acne, redness and pigmentation. A reminder to introduce products gradually, patch test where appropriate, and stop use if irritation persists.

I am exhausted by the fact that everything now needs an account, an app, or my phone number. I am not trying to join a loyalty program, a community, or a digital ecosystem. I am trying to buy a sandwich. Just give me the discount already!Somewhere along the way, our entire way of living turned into a gamified mess. Points, badges, rewards, tiers, and notifications constantly reminding us we are just one more click away from saving a few cents. To get there, we hand over data, attention, and access without a second thought. We are warned nonstop about identity theft, data breaches, and unauthorized access. We are told to protect our privacy and lock everything down. At the same time, participation in modern life requires our identity at every turn. This episode is part rant and part reality check. What happened to simple transactions? What happened to trust, to authenticity, to real human exchange? Not everything needs to be optimized. Not every interaction needs to be tracked. Chasing rewards is not the same as chasing meaning, and engagement is not the same as connection.Let us keep things real, authentic, and organic. Or at the very least, let us remember what that used to feel like before everything required a login.

Gen X followed the rules.Work hard.Max the plan.Delay gratification.Trust the system.And yet retirement feels fragile, spending feels wrong, and confidence in institutions keeps eroding.This episode isn't about interest rates.It's about what happens when a generation does “everything right” and still ends up boxed in. When retirement accounts solved accumulation but killed flexibility. When policy feels political, not procedural. When spending feels irresponsible even when money exists.We unpack:Why Gen X feels hustled by the promise of high achievement and retirement accountsWhy institutional trust is breaking down and what that signals beneath the surfaceWhy gold, policy theatrics, and market behavior reflect confidence erosion, not panicWhy spending guilt persists and what it reveals about control, identity, and choiceThis is a conversation about money, culture, and judgment.Not tactics. Not fear. Not hot takes.If you've ever thought, “This wasn't the deal,” this episode is for you.

Magnus Walker Selling Off Cars, Art & Memorabilia Big news out of the collector world: Magnus Walker is consigning a significant portion of his collection to RM Sotheby's for a March 2026 auction. We're talking 160 items total—cars, art, memorabilia. No official word yet on which cars are going, but given the timing, this is likely tied to the Amelia auction. The question is: why? Is Magnus losing interest? Chasing something new? Just cashing in while values are high? We've seen this pattern before—Vinny recently sold his GT3 RS. So what's going on? Our take: we don't think the sky is falling. Prices on collectible Porsches are strong right now, and smart owners are capitalizing. We're not seeing any signals that demand is softening—if anything, more people are moving money into special cars. The hobby is growing, not shrinking. These guys aren't getting out because they know something we don't. They're getting out because the market is paying. Fahren 2025: October 13–16 at Tapoco Lodge Let's talk Fahren. October 13th through the 16th at Tapoco Lodge in the Smoky Mountains. If you haven't been, this is the one. The roads, the people, the format—it's everything we love about driving Porsches without any of the nonsense. Who goes? Enthusiasts who actually drive their cars. People who care more about the road than the parking lot. The kind of folks who become friends, not just acquaintances. Who should go? If you've been on the fence, this is your sign. If you want a premium driving experience with a tight-knit group, no egos, and some of the best roads in the country, Fahren is it. Why should you go? Because you'll leave with stories, not just photos. Head to pcartalk.com and get on the waiting list for 2026 if this year is full. Porsche Closing 30% of Dealer Network in China Porsche is set to close roughly 30% of its dealer network in China. Not shocking given the revenue losses they've reported quarter after quarter in that market. The EV competition there is fierce, consumer preferences are shifting, and Porsche's positioning hasn't translated the same way it does in the West. Markets change. Porsche is adapting. This isn't a sign of weakness globally—it's a smart move to stop the bleeding in a region where the math isn't working. We'll see how this plays out, but expect more consolidation before things stabilize. Modern Classics Selling Big at Barrett-Jackson and Mecum Something interesting is happening at the mainstream auctions. Cars like Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales and Porsche 993 Turbo S models—cars that historically would sit with reserves not met at Barrett-Jackson or Mecum—are now selling. And selling strong. What's changed? A few theories: Are buyers shifting? Are fewer Boomers showing up and more Gen X and Millennials stepping in with different tastes? These younger buyers grew up with these cars as posters on their walls, not as "used sports cars." Or have the Boomers themselves shifted what they're chasing? Maybe they've already bought the '60s muscle and the air-cooled 911s and now they're looking at the cars they drove in their 40s and 50s. Either way, the platforms are adapting. Barrett-Jackson and Mecum are no longer just about Corvettes and Camaros. The definition of "collectible" is expanding, and the auction houses are following the money. What do you think? Are we seeing a generational handoff in the hobby, or just an expansion of what collectors care about? Let us know. Outro That's the show. Thanks for listening.

The Neuroscience of Thriving: How Women Leaders Transform Burnout Into Happiness and High Performance With 60% of senior women reporting record burnout (McKinsey, 2025) and 82% of all employees at burnout risk, the happiness crisis demands neuroscience-based solutions. Dr. Paul Zak reveals the "key moments" framework, Love Plus algorithm, and immersion science that transforms workplace well being, leadership culture, and sustained career success. • Happy workers are 13% more productive, with wellbeing interventions showing 10-21% productivity gains (Oxford, 2024) • 50% of happiness comes from quality social relationships—80% of "key moments" are social experiences • Women leaders who invest in relationships develop different brain activity patterns for sustained thriving • The "do-not-do list" creates bandwidth for extraordinary experiences that prevent burnout • Silence, volunteering, and authentic vulnerability are neuroscience-backed practices for long-term happiness As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast (900,000+ downloads, top 1.5% globally), I'm witnessing an unprecedented crisis: 60% of senior-level women report feeling frequently burned out—the highest level ever recorded (McKinsey, 2025). And it's getting worse. WebMD Health Services research shows burnout perceptions increased by over 25% from 2022 to 2024, with 82% of all employees now at burnout risk. Gen X women leaders, senior managers, and directors face the highest rates—precisely the women who should be thriving at the peak of their careers. But what if the solution isn't "work-life balance" programs or meditation apps? What if neuroscience reveals a completely different approach to sustained happiness and high performance? In Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Paul Zak—pioneering neuroscientist and author of "Immersion: The Science of the Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness"—we explore the brain-based framework for thriving that transforms how women leaders approach wellbeing, create extraordinary workplace cultures, and sustain career success without sacrificing happiness. The Thriving Crisis: Why Traditional Wellbeing Programs Fail Women Leaders Fast Company (2025) reports that throughout 2025, companies treated employees with "stunning disregard": rolling layoffs, unchecked workloads, and blind eyes to burnout. Over 200,000 American women quit their jobs this year, citing inflexible policies and lack of support. For women leaders specifically: • Only 26% strongly agree their organization cares about their wellbeing (Gallup, 2025) • 42% of working women say their job has had a negative impact on mental health (vs. 37% of men) • Women who feel stressed daily are 46% more likely to actively seek new jobs • 36% of full-time women have a mismatch between preferred and actual work arrangements Why the Gap? Most organizations spent the past decade conflating wellbeing with wellness programs. They handed out meditation apps, gym stipends, and yoga classes while ignoring the root causes: uncaring managers, lack of connection, always-on expectations, and feeling unappreciated. The result? Burnout soared, engagement flat-lined, and the best women leaders walked awa What Neuroscience Reveals About Thriving vs. Surviving "The book has the title Happiness in it, but it's really about thriving," Dr. Zak clarifies. "How do I extend positive mood and high energy over my lifetime?" Using distributed neuroscience technology and the Six app (measuring brain activity continuously at one-second frequency), Dr. Zak's research team discovered something revolutionary: People who have 6 or more "key moments" daily are truly thriving—engaged in life, resilient to stress, and sustaining high performance. What Are Key Moments and Why Do They Matter? "Key moments are high-value experiences that help us grow as human beings and thrive," Dr. Zak explains. "What we found is that the systems in the brain that give us these high-value moments are deep in the brainstem, hidden from our conscious awareness." Dr. Paul Zak This explains why traditional self-assessment wellbeing surveys fail: Most people cannot accurately identify what truly makes them happy. "When we ask people, 'What was your most important moment yesterday?' they don't know," Dr. Zak reveals. "Because it's hidden from conscious awareness. Many times, people will do something they think is really fun that doesn't give their brain a lot of value." The Neuroscience: Why Social Connection Drives Happiness Recent research from Oxford University confirms what Dr. Zak's neuroscience proves: About 50% of our happiness is due to the quality of our social relationships. But here's the critical finding for women leaders: 80% of key moments are social experiences. "It's the people that give me that ability to be present and emotionally open," Dr. Zak emphasizes. "Sometimes I'll get a key moment when I'm really in a great writing project, but mostly, it's when I'm out at a conference, having dinner with people, giving talks." The Leadership Implication: Women leaders facing declining corporate support (only 54% of companies now prioritize women's advancement) cannot wait for organizational culture change. You must proactively create the social connections and immersive experiences that sustain your brain's capacity to thrive. The Two Core Components: Presence and Emotional Openness 1. Being Present "If I'm distracted, it's not going to be a good experience for me," Dr. Zak explains. "So I'll often take my phone and just turn it off in meetings. Hey, you guys, this is an important meeting, I need all the phones off." For Women Leaders: • Create technology-free zones during strategic thinking and team conversations • Block "thinking time" on your calendar—treat it as sacred as client meetings • Practice "walking in silence" to oxygenate your brain and generate ideas • Use the 60-90 minute rule: take 5-minute movement breaks to maintain cognitive clarity 2. Being Emotionally Open "Do we want to be around people who don't share their emotions with us?" Dr. Zak asks. "No. If I say 'I'm having a tough day' and you're like 'oh, that's terrible' with no emotion—that's not a friend, that's a robot." Emotional experiences are saved in memory in a particular way that makes them more easily accessible. When you share authentic emotions, you activate neural pathways that build trust, create connection, and generate the key moments that sustain thriving. Critical for Women Leaders: This isn't about oversharing or being "too emotional" (a bias women already face). It's about strategic vulnerability that makes you relatable, trustworthy, and capable of building the deep connections that drive both happiness and high performance. The Love Plus Algorithm: A Neuroscience Framework for Daily Happiness When Time Magazine asked Dr. Zak to write three sentences on New Year's resolutions, he created what he calls his "algorithm for living a happy and fulfilled life": Love Plus. The Love Plus Framework: L - Love and be loved Invest deeply in relationships. Research shows 50% of happiness comes from social connection quality. For women leaders, this means prioritizing meaningful relationships with family, friends, and trusted colleagues—not just networking transactions. O - Openness to new experiences Travel, try new activities, engage with different perspectives. Novel experiences create neurological growth and generate key moments that sustain thriving. V - Volunteering and giving back "The evidence is so overwhelming that helping others makes you happy," Dr. Zak notes. Even small acts of generosity—buying a colleague coffee, mentoring a junior team member—create reciprocal happiness loops. E - Exercise Physical movement isn't just wellness theater. It oxygenates the brain, reduces stress hormones, and creates conditions for key moments to emerge. PLUS: • Purpose: Connect daily work to larger meaning and impact • Learning: Continuous growth through reading, courses, new skills • Unique experiences: Prioritize extraordinary moments that create lasting memories • Silence: Create space for reflection, creativity, and strategic thinking How Women Leaders Apply Love Plus Daily Dr. Zak's framework isn't theoretical—it's immediately actionable: Morning: 10 minutes of silence before checking devices (builds presence, reduces cortisol) Workday: 2-3 "connection moments" with team members beyond task management (builds trust, creates key moments) Lunch: Walk outside without phone (exercise + silence + openness to new observations) Afternoon: Learn something new—read an article, take a short course, explore a topic (continuous learning) Evening: Invest in deep relationships—quality time with family/friends, not just logistics (love and be loved) Weekly: Volunteer or mentor (giving back creates sustained happiness) The Do-Not-Do List: Creating Bandwidth for Thriving "Many executives tell me they don't have time for key moments," Dr. Zak acknowledges. His solution? The do-not-do list. "I realized I was doing a lot of things on my to-do list that weren't actually that valuable. So I made a second list called my do-not-do list. And it's way longer than my to-do list." Examples from Dr. Zak's Do-Not-Do List: • Do not attend meetings without clear agendas and time boundaries • Do not respond to every email within 2 hours (batch processing instead) • Do not say yes to every speaking invitation (protect creative bandwidth) • Do not schedule back-to-back meetings all day (protect key moment opportunities) • Do not work weekends as default (protect relationship investment time) For Women Leaders: What activities drain energy without creating value? What obligations stem from people-pleasing rather than strategic necessity? Your do-not-do list creates the space for the 6+ daily key moments that neuroscience shows drive sustained thriving.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taste of Mia in full flight on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the complete episode of Scurrilous Gossip - Karl Stefanovic, Melania Trump & Sydney Sweeney, oh my at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? This is where all that can change. Outlouders, gather 'round. Mia Freedman is back in the studio with Holly Wainwright and Em Vernem, with a few pieces of scurrilous gossip she’s dying to unpack. First up, the breakfast TV king himself. Karl Stefanovic is launching a podcast, and Mia has thoughts on what exactly this means. Plus, we need to talk about Sydney Sweeney’s new lingerie brand, Syrn. (It’s pronounced 'Siren'... apparently). We deep-dive into that viral Hollywood sign video and ask: Is this actually a new era of 'post-feminist' empowerment, or are we just being sold the same old story in better lighting? And, there’s a new documentary about Melania Trump. The team investigates the very curious reports of seat-filling incentives to make the film’s launch look like a hit. So, is anyone actually watching it, or is it all just "fake news"? Remember, this is just a little subs snackette. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

In this episode, I talk to my friend Andy Schaalman, who has Substack, Fourth Turning Chronicles but whose work can be found mostly on his YouTube page, where all of his great videos are. We talked for almost three hours, so it's a real Joe Rogan-type deal. Both of us have been interested in the Fourth Turning for many years. He is a millennial, and I am Gen-X. We get pretty deep into it, so it probably might not be interesting to anyone who isn't interested in the concept. But if you are, have a listen. Referenced in our podcast is this episode:But many of his videos are worth a watch. You can find them here.Meanwhile, here is some Fourth Turning info referenced in the podcast.Here are some quotes from The Fourth Turning, a link to the book, and videos.“At each of these great gates of history, eighty to a hundred years apart, a similar generational drama unfolded. Four archetypes, aligned in the same order—elder Prophet, midlife Nomad, young adult Hero, child Artist—together produced the most enduring legends in our history. Each time the Gray Champion appeared marked the arrival of a moment of “darkness, and adversity, and peril,” the climax of the Fourth Turning of the saeculum.”“What will America be like as it exits the Fourth Turning?History offers no guarantees. Obviously, things could go horribly wrong—the possibilities ranging from a nuclear exchange to incurable plagues, from terrorist anarchy to high-tech dictatorship. We should not assume that Providence will always exempt our nation from the irreversible “tragedies that have overtaken so many others: not just temporary hardship, but debasement and total ruin. Since Vietnam, many Americans suppose they know what it means to lose a war. Losing in the next Fourth Turning, however, could mean something incomparably worse. It could mean a lasting defeat from which our national innocence—and perhaps even our nation—might never recover. As many Americans know from their own ancestral backgrounds, history provides numerous examples of societies that have been wiped off the map, ground into submission, or beaten so badly they revert to barbarism.

Tras el reciente lanzamiento del Happy Meal de Friends, Sol y George se sentaron un ratito a recordar momentos memorables de la serie, sus episodios favoritos y los personajes con los que más se identificaron. Busca tu café, siéntate como si estuvieras en Central Perk y disfruta de este recorrido por la serie favorita de los GenX. 

We kicked things off by butchering the Jaws theme on plastic recorders—which we’ve decided are essentially musical sewer pipes—before pivoting to the high-brow realization that physics is actually God’s art museum and humans are just the ones writing the placards.We spent a good chunk of time roasting Hollywood for its recycled plots, rebranding Jaws as the "ultimate fishing film" and realizing Avatar is just a blue-tinted Fern Gully where the characters use their tails as universal adapters. Our nostalgia took us back to the glory days of mastering the "tripod" head-prop to nap in geometry class without face-planting, a skill far more useful than our Gen X school fundraisers involving "high-quality" trash bags and overpriced wrapping paper. To wrap up, we lamented the fact that taking a sick chicken to an exotic vet costs $250—proving yogurt is the only affordable healthcare for poultry—and left everyone on a spicy cliffhanger regarding our upcoming deep-dive into the scandalous world of black pepper.
