He critiques the current state of government involvement in the economy, the retirement crisis facing Gen X, and the flaws in traditional investment strategies. Markowski also highlights the entertainment nature of financial media and the missteps of private equity firms, particularly in relation to Ivy League investments. The episode concludes with a discussion on the implications of Goldman Sachs' connections to Jeffrey Epstein and the broader issues of accountability in the financial sector.
If you thought the internet was a dumpster fire before, the EU LAUNCHES SECOND INVESTIGATION INTO GROK because Musk's bot won't stop generating nonconsensual imagery. Meanwhile, META LARGELY FAILS TO PROTECT KIDS FROM AI CHATBOTS, proving that their internal safety checks are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If that doesn't creep you out, AFTER RING PRIVACY BACKLASH over police partnerships, a LEAKED EMAIL SUGGESTS RING PLANS TO EXPAND ‘SEARCH PARTY' from finding lost dogs to total neighborhood surveillance. Of course, REDDIT, META, AND GOOGLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE DHS INFO on users critical of ICE, because why stand up for privacy when you can just comply?In the news, we look at OPENCLAW, OPENAI AND THE FUTURE as the project's founder joins the Borg, even though META AND OTHER TECH FIRMS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF OPENCLAW because it's basically a security hole that can click your mouse for you. Peak stupidity has arrived with RFK JR'S NEW CHATBOT giving rectal dietary advice, while AI COMPANIES BOUGHT OUT ALL OF WESTERN DIGITAL'S HARD DRIVES through 2026, meaning you can't have storage because the bots need it more. Even VALVE ADMITS STEAM DECK AVAILABILITY IS AFFECTED by this memory hoarding. We also touch on STEVE BANNON SUED OVER MAGA CRYPTO SCHEME, LOS ANGELES COUNTY FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ROBLOX for being a safety nightmare, and the fact that TESLA ROBOTAXIS REPORTEDLY CRASHING at four times the human rate. TESLA DODGES 30-DAY SUSPENSION by simply killing the word "Autopilot," while NEW YORK HITS THE BRAKES ON ROBOTAXI EXPANSION to keep the chaos at bay. Finally, POLYMARKET WITHDRAWS EXPLOSIVE ARTEMIS BETTING MARKET because betting on dead astronauts is too much even for them, leading the ETHEREUM CREATOR STARTING TO THINK THIS WHOLE PREDICTION MARKET THING MIGHT BE GAMBLING. As NEVADA SUES KALSHI and Jack Dorsey oversees INSIDE THE ROLLING LAYOFFS AT JACK DORSEY'S BLOCK—using AI to summarize the misery of his employees—just remember: YOU'LL BE SORRY WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER'S $1.3 MILLION BORED APE IS WORTH NOW. Hint: it's twelve grand.In this week's MEDIA CANDY, we've got FREE BERT, KAT WILLIAMS: THE LAST REPORT, and the eternal return of SHREK. We're checking out MARK ROBER on Netflix, the return of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, and the trailer for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. If you need a soundtrack for the apocalypse, Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq has you covered with STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I and the Gen-X anthem I'VE NO MORE F*S TO GIVE!.Moving to APPS & DOODADS, OBSIDIAN TO NOTES is a $14 well spent, unlike CURSOR and VISUAL STUDIO CODE which are getting bogged down by slow models. APPLE'S AI PENDANT sounds like a watered-down Humane pin that relies on your phone to think, and APPLE PODCASTS AND VIDEO remains a pipe dream because bandwidth costs money. We've reached the point where THERE'S A GRIM NEW EXPRESSION: “AI;DR” for things not worth reading, and THERE'S A NEW TERM FOR WORKERS FREAKING OUT over being replaced—AIRD, or AI Replacement Dysfunction—which is basically the low-grade panic of being made obsolete by a machine that thinks bananas go in your bum.AT THE LIBRARY, we're thumbing through CLEAVE THE SPARROW, THE REGICIDE REPORT by Charles Stross, and Robin Ince being NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL.Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the Muppets are taking over with THE MUPPET SHOW and MUPPETS NOW. We catch the latest on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU and TOY STORY 5, while tracking the PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX to see if war is breaking out. For the kids, we look at a 3D PRINTER / ENTRY LEVEL FOR KIDS like the Bambu Lab A1, and for the nerds, A STAR WARS-CENTRIC RSS FEED and a NEAT IDEA FOR AN RSS READER, “CURRENT,” which lets news drift away like water under a bridge. We wrap it all up with some HORROR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES and IMPECCABLE COVERS OF 80S SYNTH MUSIC, because at least the 80s had better soundtracks than this AI-generated nightmare.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

It’s Friday, and it’s a news-free zone. Breathe out, friends, and let’s kick off with a splash of skincare nepotism — Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple is sharing how Mum asked all her “Goopy” friends to help fix her teenage acne and honestly, haven’t we all? Also, iconic magazine editor Anna Wintour just sat down with her successor, Vogue Content Director Chloe Malle, and served up a deeply awkward masterclass in 'Boomer vs. Millennial' work ethic clash. So, who wants to pay everyone 30 per cent more? Is it ever okay to mention your food intolerance on a first date? What about your ex? What about your mother? And who the hell does pay, in 2026? The New York Times has dropped a new set of 'Dating Rules'. Some are genius, some are unhinged, and yes, we have thoughts. And finally, we tackle a domestic mystery as old as time: Are you a box-flattener or are you... normal? Plus, recommendations. Jessie Stephens has a very helpful robot for you.

There seems to be a boost of young men becoming Christians and engaging with the local church. Is it true? With the significance of generational differences, how are the Boomers and Gen-X generation going to train the Millennials and Zoomers (Gen-Z and Gen-A) if there are more young men coming to church? In this Salty Believer Unscripted series, Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker start a series about training up the next generations for ministries. Bryan also deals with a hate-mail email concern. And they've started an unsolicited, unsponsored advertisement that's fitting for an unscripted podcast. Learn more and find more resources at SaltyBeliever.com. Copyright 2026.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast, I'm breaking down the generational differences between Gen X & Boomers. These two generations approach money very differently, and those differences have a big impact on how they save, plan for retirement, and ultimately live in retirement. Today I'm talking about a few key differences between Boomers and Gen X that help define how they view and relate to money - particularly as Gen X approaches retirement.
In this episode of Chasing Brighter, Jessica and Kelly continue the February theme of Reset, Rest, Reconnect with a conversation so many women need to hear: What if the reason rest feels uncomfortable… is conditioning, not weakness? We say we want rest. But when we slow down, we feel guilt. Anxiety. Panic. Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned: Being “good” means being useful Productivity equals worth Slowing down is lazy We haven't earned a break yet Especially for Gen X and Millennial women raised to be capable, accommodating, and endlessly reliable, rest isn't just physical — it's emotional. In this episode, we gently challenge that belief.
On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian explore a simple phrase that could mean the difference between financial freedom and struggle: “the sooner the better.” They unpack new data around Gen X’s looming retirement crisis and what it means to be the first generation largely retiring without pensions. Then, they dive into a compelling new study showing how saving—not spending—could be the true key to financial happiness. Plus, career expert Julie Bauke joins to dissect “the executive dilemma”—when a promotion might not actually be the best next move. Finally, Bob and Brian answer real listener questions on managing capital gains, tapping into dividends, and planning for long-term care.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is that Making America Healthy Again? Then, Pat highlights how Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Haley Stevens collects pro-Israeli lobby cash in order to fund her campaign. And this week, Stevens visited an ICE concentration camp in Baldwin, MI, and sounded like she was impressed how that camp hired several female ICE agents. Stevens is the illustration of why Democratic base voters are frustrated with Democrats.16:41-38:30: Abdul El-Sayed InterviewMichigan Progressive Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed talks with Pat this week.

If Barack Obama says there are aliens, then there are aliens. While the former President is busy clarifying that he didn't actually see any ETs in the Oval Office, Jessie Stephens has a theory: Is men’s obsession with outer space just a symptom of not having enough mental load? Plus, the political "pub test" is officially dead, and the "algorithm test" has moved in and made itself comfortable. We’re looking at why the Internet is both the world’s best fact-checker and its most dangerous bias-confirmer. And Holly Wainwright is asking, what IS the actual pub test in 2026? And because we clearly haven't done enough critical thinking, we’re wading into the chaos of Married At First Sight. Jessie, of course, is an expert in the field, and she’s bringing several philosophical questions from the new season, starting with: Can you ever come back from a sexual chemistry deficit? In other business, apparently, humans "fall off a cliff" at age 44, which is sending Amelia Lester into a spiral. Happily, there’s a pick-me-up coming: Hollywood A-listers are signalling that side-parts are back. What’s next? Skinny jeans and ballet flats? Oh.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast, I'm breaking down the generational differences between Gen X & Boomers. These two generations approach money very differently, and those differences have a big impact on how they save, plan for retirement, and ultimately live in retirement. While Boomers love to talk about the assassination of JFK and the landing on the moon and can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing during both events, Gen X remembers the Challenger exploding, the LA riots, and the suicide of Kurt Kobain. The defining economic event that shaped Gen X's financial path was the dot com bust. Younger Gen Xs were just finishing school and launching their careers in the late 1990s and early 2000s, while older Gen Xs ers - 35 years old at this time, were now well established.
We’re all part of a generation, that’s a large group of people born around the same time as us. These generations have names too, like Gen X, Baby Boomers or Gen Alpha. Who came up with these generations and why do we have them? We’ll speak to experts and learn what makes each generation unique. Plus, what if you could rename your generation? Plus, Mr. Bonejangles can’t remember his birthday so he has no idea what generation he’s part of! All this and a timeless mystery sound. Enjoy! Guests:Dr Jean Twenge: Professor of psychology at San Diego State University, and author of iGen, Generations, and 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World. Kim Parker: Director of social trends research at Pew Research Center. Corey Seemiller: Professor of leadership studies in education and organizations at Wright State University, and author of Generation Z.

Welcome to another completely normal, absolutely unhinged daily comedy show where the tech almost fails, the allergies are aggressive, and somehow we open three cosmic portals before 9am.Today starts with a good old-fashioned Gen X troubleshooting session (did we unplug it? Did we punch it? Did we blow in it like an NES cartridge?) before diving into Rafe's first round of allergy shots. Nothing bonds strangers faster than sitting in a medical waiting room comparing chronic symptoms like it's poker night. Meanwhile, Riz recounts the time his kid's lips swelled up mid-shot and casually reminds us that yes — sometimes the sniffles are not just the sniffles.From there? Oh, we go spiritual.It's apparently the Lunar New Year, a solar eclipse, AND the Age of Aquarius — meaning we've got 72 hours of Fire Horse energy to fix our lives. Or at least start a band with our reborn co-host. We break down what the Year of the Fire Horse means, revisit 2014 like it was a hazy fever dream of sushi photos and mall carousels, and try to remember anything meaningful we did before TikTok ruined our attention spans.Then we spiral (intellectually, obviously).Would you rather be a dumbass who looks smart… or a genius who looks like a dumbass? The debate gets heated. Confidence vs. competence. Ignorance vs. misery. Comment section energy vs. tortured Iowa genius energy. It's basically philosophy… if philosophy drank gas station coffee.We also tackle the most “normal” things that secretly feel meaningless — signing group birthday cards for coworkers you wouldn't recognize at Schnucks, pretending to read terms & conditions, awkwardly standing through the Happy Birthday song, and the endless, soul-crushing treadmill of dishes. Is making your bed just pushing a rock up a hill? Are meetings just corporate theater? Why are we like this?And then… the hypothetical that broke the room:You get $20 million tax free.But one of your co-hosts turns into a baby.You must raise them. No babysitters. 18 years.Who's the easiest child? Who's getting stage-parented into a boy band? Who's definitely not surviving puberty in Rafe's house? Alliances are formed. Feelings are hurt. Scott somehow becomes the universal “safe pick.” Learn plots revenge. Moon declines more parenting. Riz considers conservatorship-level management.It's chaos. It's existential. It's petty. It's hilarious.Just another completely reasonable episode of your favorite daily comedy show where we solve nothing but talk about everything.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.

In this episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with the renowned "Queen of Hormones," Dr. Carrie Jones, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation that cuts through the noise surrounding women's health at midlife. As a Naturopathic Physician with advanced degrees in public health and endocrinology, Dr. Jones brings over two decades of clinical experience to the discussion, offering listeners a masterclass in understanding their own physiology. The conversation explores why Gen X and elder millennial women are uniquely positioned to challenge the status quo when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Jones explains that hormone therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all solution—it's a nuanced process that requires individualized attention, much like finding the perfect skincare routine. She addresses the moving target of hormone optimization, explaining how factors like skin thickness, lifestyle, and even climate can affect absorption and efficacy. Listeners will gain valuable insight into the distinction between early and late perimenopause, why progesterone typically declines first, and how estradiol influences everything from serotonin production to joint health. Dr. Jones also sheds light on the critical connection between declining hormones and mental health, explaining why so many women are misdiagnosed and prescribed antidepressants when what they truly need is hormone support. Throughout the episode, both hosts emphasize the importance of testing to understand what's actually happening under the hood rather than relying on guesswork. This is an empowering discussion about taking ownership of your health journey and refusing to accept inadequate answers.

We start off today talking about the story out of the Olympic village and the fact they went through 10k condoms in less than 3 days. Are they having that much sex or maiing balloon animals? Especially when there's another story about GenZ choosing sleep above sex. We also discuss Nate Newton's pardon by President Trump.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast, I'm breaking down the generational differences between Gen X & Boomers. These two generations approach money very differently, and those differences have a big impact on how they save, plan for retirement, and ultimately live in retirement. If Gen X had a one word motto it would be: whatever. It's not that they don't care, it's that they've had to roll with so many punches since childhood, that they've learned to be self-sufficient and largely cautious about institutions.
Today's daily comedy show is what happens when you give microphones to people who should probably just be texting each other.We kick things off with Olympic-level… activities. Apparently the Olympic Village ran out of condoms in three days. Three. Days. That's not an athletic achievement — that's cardio with consequences. We debate whether elite athletes should be breeding super-humans or if maybe the rest of us deserve a shot at greatness. (Spoiler: the Rizzuto bloodline is not currently favored.)Then we spiral into Olympic sports confusion. Skeleton. Luge. Two-man luge (you know the one). If you grew up in Ballwin, Missouri, how exactly do you “get into” skeleton? Is there a sign-up sheet at Schnucks? Do you just lie face-first on a sled and hope for the best? We also relive the Team USA bobsled disaster that turned into a solo survival mission mid-run. Nothing says “team sport” like accidentally ejecting half your teammates.There's also a dog that hijacked a ski slope and honestly looked more qualified than most of us. If that's not peak sports content, what are we even doing here?We also unpack the “Most Gen X Man in the World” video, which is basically a documentary about Riz. Garden hose hydration. Distrust of WiFi. Emotional suppression via grunge. If you ever microwaved a dinner and raised yourself at an abandoned mall, congratulations — you've found your people on this daily comedy show.In Crap on Celebrities, we break down Tool possibly taking over The Sphere in Vegas (yes please), Weezer turning 34 (we're not okay), Hollywood's obsession with reboots, and the FBI updating the case involving Savannah Guthrie's mother. Plus, we rank the best fictional presidents in TV and movies — and yes, President Camacho was ROBBED.We wrap with birthdays, questionable romance stats, and one of the most aggressively titled adult films of 1995. Because that's the kind of well-rounded journalism you expect from a daily comedy show broadcasting from St. Louis.If you like pop culture commentary, funny celebrity gossip, Olympic chaos, sarcastic humor, and the occasional existential crisis wrapped in Mountain Dew nostalgia, welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
An authoritarian regime takes over, scapegoating a minority group, putting people on lists, disappearing folks from their homes and shooting people in the street. Enough current events: this week we're talking about V: The Original Miniseries, which aired on NBC way back in 1983. Reptile aliens from Sirius have come to Earth and they're bad news, even as they pretend to be the sweetest, cuddliest folks you could hope to meet. It's up to the Beastmaster and a ragtag crew of scientists to save humanity. Is this show actually good or do we have Gen X nostalgia glasses on? Find out!Before that: Independent Spirit Awards!

In the second hour of episode #1156, Clay Edwards takes a deep dive into generational politics, exploring why Gen X has been largely sidelined in leadership roles, blaming boomers for clinging to power and delaying opportunities—now leaving many Gen Xers in their 40s and 50s too established in careers and family life to pivot. He breaks down stats on Congress (Gen X at 41% in the House but only 28% in the Senate) and Mississippi's legislature (average age 57, boomers dominant at 45%), urging Gen X to step up and counter liberal indoctrination. A caller sparks debate on holding teachers' unions accountable, pushing "feel-good" policies over core education, and infiltrating local politics. Clay unleashes unfiltered rants on liberal Gen Xers as the most offended and medicated group, SSRIs turning affluent white women "gay" (with satirical jabs at stereotypes), and the revival of racism by black Gen X post-Obama. He shares personal views on relationships, favoring driven partners over dependents, and stresses trade schools over useless college degrees. Wrapping with listener texts on anti-ICE protests, Gen X presidents, and positive solutions—pure, no-holds-barred commentary on culture, corruption, and America's soul.
In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off a high-energy Monday with unfiltered takes on current events and cultural issues. He dives into his weekend discoveries, including a deep dive into the Angel Studios app and a strong recommendation for the eye-opening documentary "Thank You, Dr. Fauci," which exposes controversies around COVID origins, vaccines, and cover-ups featuring insights from scientists, journalists, and former CDC leaders. Clay also shares thoughts on the post-apocalyptic film "Homestead" and its series spin-off, praising their relevance to real-world prepping scenarios. A caller weighs in on methane facts and corruption in Mississippi courts, sparking a discussion on statewide issues. Clay tackles timely stories like Amazon ending its partnership with surveillance company Ring amid privacy concerns, the final closure of Chrishell's restaurant, a bizarre video from Savannah Guthrie about her mother, a viral brawl at La Cazuela in Jackson leading to city scrutiny, and an update on a tragic incident involving a former JA student. He highlights positive education news with Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana leading post-COVID gains in reading and math scores. The episode explores intriguing connections, like SpongeBob SquarePants' address linking to Epstein Island and the Nickelodeon logo's eerie resemblance to it. Clay delves into generational politics, questioning why Gen X has been sidelined in leadership roles and urging more involvement to counter boomer dominance. Strap in for raw commentary on cancel culture, conservative values, and America's future—unfiltered and no holds barred.

Welcome to The Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, your daily guide to preparing for and living your best retirement. I'm your host Ashley Micciche, and this week, we're exploring the differences between Gen X & Boomers when it comes to planning for and living in retirement. For my entire career as a financial advisor, I've been focused on working with boomers, as the great wave of retiring baby boomers had just started 18 years ago when I became an advisor. But fast forward to today, and the oldest boomers, born in 1946 turn 80 this year, and the youngest of boomers, born in 1964, are now 62 (the most common retirement age for someone in the US) and eligible for social security. The vast majority of baby boomers are retired, and the next wave of retirees - Gen Xers are in the homestretch to retirement. Born between 1965 & 1980, Gen Xers are now in the homestretch to retirement. So this week, I'll talk about how these generational differences shaped how & why retirement will look differently for them
This week we take a walk down memory lane and remember some classic cartoons, we talk why Gen X kids are such cool grown-ups, the movie HEAT actually happened in Italy recently, AI is now lying and cheating scientists say, a Young Sheldon created nuclear fusion at home, Weird News and so much more.
Our buddy Gen X Jace from Texas stops in the program. Jace brings us up to date on what's happening in his home state. Of course we talk about everything else. Let's get into it.

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 week on Parenting Out Loud, we're joined again by Luca Lavigne, so of course things went off without a hitch.
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.
