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. Clare Stephens wants to help you unlock creativity (it's a new year, fire horses) and Holly Wainwright wants to show you her new pants. SUBSCRIBE here: Support independent women's media Recommendations Clare recommends The Writer's Studio which offers courses for aspiring writers. Holly recommends the jersey barrel leg pants from Uniqlo In a turn of events, Jessie is recommending Chat GPT (we're shocked too) for anybody who needs some design help when moving house.

Paul and Amy revisit Reality Bites, Ben Stiller's Gen-X touchstone that may or may not want to be one. They discuss the film's scrappy origins from writer Helen Childress and star-producer Winona Ryder, unpack Ethan Hawke's slacker allure and Ben Stiller as a yuppie, and debate whether Lelaina's rebellion was righteous or just twenty-something self-sabotage.

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.

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.

Episode Summary In this episode of Wine & Chisme, Jessica sits down with Marisa Gonzales, a proud Mexican-American graphic designer, brand strategist, and the founder of Marisa Gonzalez Studios, for a deeply personal and empowering conversation. Based in Kansas City, Kansas, Marisa shares what it was like growing up as one of the only Latinas in a predominantly white suburb of Missouri, how chronic migraines and a serious car accident reshaped her path, and how she overcame medication dependency to reclaim her health and creativity. She also opens up about walking away from a toxic corporate job as a new mom, and how all of these experiences led her to build an intentional, client-centered design business that centers the voices of women, minorities, and nonprofits. What We Cover in This Episode Growing up Latina in Blue Springs, Missouri, one of the only Mexican-American families in a predominantly white suburb How Marisa's parents kept her culture alive through weekly family dinners, Mexican music, and tostadas at abuela's house- even without teaching Spanish The shared Gen X/elder Millennial experience of being raised without Spanish, and the generational trauma behind it Experiencing racial bias in school. From a teacher who gave her less attention than white students, to friends casually throwing around slurs The car accident in her 20s that broke her nose, injured her spine (C1/Atlas), and escalated into chronic migraines Her journey with Fioricet dependency, the first time she has spoken about this publicly, and how her husband Travis helped her taper off gradually Overcoming rebound migraines caused by the very medication she was using to function at work The toxic corporate job she left cold- on the day they wrote her up for calling in after her infant son got sick Using her maternity leave to quietly build her design business on the side before making the leap full-time Her non-traditional career path: graphic design → production artist → burned out at 2008 recession → physical therapy assistant → office job → full-time entrepreneur How her dad's encouragement to "follow your heart" changed the direction of her life What it means to center Latinidad and lived experience in brand strategy How she vets clients and intentionally limits her workload to protect her health and family Her certifications: Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and MWBE through the Kansas Department of Commerce Practical branding insight: why having a "signature look" is non-negotiable for standing out About Marisa Gonzales Marisa Gonzales is the CEO, Principal Strategist, and Designer of Marisa Gonzalez Studios, a boutique brand and web design agency based in Kansas City, Kansas. She helps women-owned businesses, minority entrepreneurs, and nonprofits build standout brands and websites that don't just look beautiful — they work. A proud Mexican-American woman, Marisa grew up in Blue Springs, Missouri, navigating life as one of the few Latinas in a predominantly white community. That experience — of being unseen, mislabeled, and underestimated — shapes everything about how she shows up for her clients today. She is certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and as a Minority Women's Business Enterprise (MWBE) through the Kansas Department of Commerce. Marisa also lives with chronic migraines and late-diagnosed ADHD, and has built her business around flexibility, intentionality, and listening to her body — modeling for her clients that sustainable success is possible.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Hydration in midlife isn't just about drinking more water — it's about timing, balance, and understanding how fluid intake affects blood pressure, diuretics, cortisol, and sleep quality. In this episode of Somnilopod, we break down hydration for Gen X, dehydration symptoms after 40, nocturia and sleep disruption, electrolyte balance, and how medications like diuretics change the equation. If you're navigating midlife health, heart health, and better sleep, this science-based guide will help you hydrate smarter — not just more.

But there’s a twist: Scotch adds a bonus challenge: Was that Millennial or Gen X?Every quote comes with an extra generational trap to make Tank overthink everything and make Mandy question her entire childhood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Amy:My friend Jillian Rae has done this thing twice while we've posed for a photo, once at her album launch, once at my book launch: Jillian points to me and makes a face as if she can't believe her luck to have encountered me personally. And yet, Jillian is a bonafide rockstar.I use that term rockstar broadly, because Jillian refuses to fit into a clear genre. She plays at venues all over town, in many roles, with a wide range of musicians, and she's kinda famous in China.So then who am I in this picture? I am Jillian's former student who dabbled with violin lessons when my kids were young. Here I thought I was learning an instrument I admired, as a mom who needed creative escape from my real life. Jillian wasn't a rockstar YET when I met her. I remember clearly when she texted that she was appearing onstage at Prince's beloved First Avenue in Minneapolis, and we should get our butts over there. That first performance, Jillian played backup fiddle for a headliner whose name I no longer remember. I have no idea how often she's played at First Avenue since. I don't even know how many of Jillians shows I've attended or how often I've heard her on The Current, our local MPR music station.To me, Jillian Rae is the person who first convinced me to drive in to Minneapolis regularly on weekdays. When my kids and I were taking violin lessons from her in one of those suburbs, Jillian co-founded the Music Lab in a walk-up near Lake Nokomis. Suffice it to say, I wouldn't have chosen that neighborhood for my kids' music lessons, forty-five minutes from home in rush hour. But Jillian has vision like nobody's business.During our lessons, we talked about Jillian's work and her career... and my aspirations to be a real writer and whatever the dream was that I'm living now. I've honestly translated so much of what Jillian taught me into my business, because every time I showed up in her private studio (never having practiced, because that was part of my deal with her, though I did learn some fiddle tunes decently well, and even Pachelbel's canon) I got to be the feral Gen X child I once was, learning from my friend Jillian to see my creative gifts through the eyes of a Millennial. I have long understood that were it not for Jillian, I would never have understood what being a real-life creative looks like for me. When I think about this podcast (this episode and more broadly), I understand that not everyone can meet my friend Jillian personally, or other real-life creatives like her that I encounter ongoing. And that did start for me in Minneapolis. Since then, I've made a practice of talking and writing about Minneapolis, so much so that many people think I live there. I do not. Or shall I say, that's not where my house is. And yet.All my lineage travels directly through Minneapolis, on all sides. So you weren't entirely wrong if you thought I was from there.Indeed I was born in a Minneapolis hospital building that is currently occupied by the federal government, so I hear from reliable sources. Throughout my childhood, I visited the city with family for special occasions.But I know the city best as a grown-up.If you don't know a city that well, and have no reason to go there, it's easy to believe horror stories that the media serves you and forget the everyday people who live there. In the years since Ronald Reagan eliminated the fairness doctrine (that said you can't publish lies) media corporations have made it their business to further exacerbate bias, divide us with scary demographics, and consolidate profits. That's the false narrative that Minneapolis is actively refusing, and many of us in the Twin Cities Metro and Greater Minnesota recognize, though some white Minnesotans believe they aren't safe in the city. Which didn't happen by accident. Deliberate semantics games misrepresent one big idea: THESE PEOPLE ARE OUR NEIGHBORS.And as I see it nowadays, my neighbors. That's a pretty good thing.I love to drive the long way home from Minneapolis, one neighborhood into the next, one suburb into the next, awash in memories, never using a freeway until the bridge across the river. That's how well I know the city these days. I know all the places you've heard about in the news.But when I want to talk about what life's been like in Minneapolis I defer to people who inhabit these neighborhoods.That's why I invited Jillian Rae to speak to her own, lived experiences.It's going to take a long time to heal from the willful damage inflicted by ICE and this administration. You need to know that it's still going on. Furthermore, I don't see how a "kinder, gentler" (more stealthy for optics) invasion is going to stop all the harm being done. Intentionally.Jillian's graciously allowing me to share her new single, "Fuck ICE," at the end of this episode. You can purchase the salty or the sanitized version to support Twin Cities people. Pretty sure that song title clarifies where she stands. Jillian's one of my heroes AND a dear friend.At the beginning of the episode, we reference Jillian's single "Silence," a precursor to "Fuck Ice" in many ways. Watch the video here.Which makes me realize one more connection: If I didn't know so many beloved people and places in Minneapolis personally, I don't know what I'd be thinking right now. Maybe I'd think these people were heroes, but their struggles aren't mine. That they are somehow separate from me. Instead, I am finding plenty of ways to fight the good fight where I am. I'm asking you to think about how you can address evil, in solidarity, where you are too. Because make no mistake, this does affect you. Even if the connections are being obscured. You need to see them.Please listen. And then take one simple step you can take to speak up. And the next. And the next. Travel safely, dear friends.Love, Amy About Jillian Rae:Lauded as a “triple threat on vocals, fiddle, and composition” (Star Tribune), Jillian Rae is a fiercely unique spirit who cares more about making authentic music than about conforming to expectations.

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.

I noticed a growing number of internet people (mostly without any industry knowledge) trashing the beverage brand PRIME. And I get it…people love to kick someone (or something) when they're down, especially if it's a highly visible (maybe even a bit controversial) consumer brand partly owned by polarizing internet celebrities. Although if you stumbled into this expecting it would be just another copy/paste overly dramatic “rise and fall of PRIME” content piece…I'm sorry to disappoint you! But if you're into first principles thinking that produces fresh perspectives then hopefully, you'll stick around…mostly because when these internet people simultaneously proclaimed, “PRIME serves as a modern Case Study in the volatility of hype-first business models,” they collectively forgot to mention their whole thesis was foundationally established by whichever AI model prompts scraped my old strategic commentary within my content years earlier. Nevertheless, before getting started…while I'm not going to retrace the meteoric rise of PRIME, I have the utmost respect for what it achieved in those initial two years…and no one can ever take away that PRIME not only generated over a billion dollars in annual retail sales globally faster than any CPG brand in history but impacted (influenced) the overall industry in ways that will be felt for a very long time. However, over the last two years, PRIME has faced a classic “identity trap.” While PRIME obviously achieved viral success with Gen Z and Gen Alpha, essentially becoming a status symbol…older consumers (whether parents or not) often viewed the brand as a neon-colored faddish drink made for children. Attempting to fix this (and increase buy rates among Millennials and Gen X), PRIME shifted its strategy from "hype marketing” to functional legitimacy. Though, apart from throwing the "Gatorade Blueprint" sports marketing proverbial Hail Mary, what could PRIME really have done after retail sales momentum slowed…and aggressive over-expansion left inventory bloat? When the viral novelty faded…and once-scarce bottles were found everywhere (on-promotion), it signaled to younger consumers that the brand was no longer "exclusive.” Moreover, older consumers remained critical (warranted or not) that PRIME lacked the sodium and electrolytes necessary for true rehydration purposes. So, faced with two very different challenges impacting demand…PRIME decided to tackle “product” concerns over attempting to reignite cultural virality (which is extremely complex). Last month, PRIME officially entered the RTD protein category by launching a line of ultra-filtered protein milkshakes. PRIME Protein represents maybe the last remaining product strategy impactful enough to transition the beverage brand from a youth-centric "hype" product into a legitimate player within the functional beverages category. Lastly, and this cannot be overlooked when explaining why the “doom and gloom” scenario likely never came (or didn't come as severely) for PRIME yet. If you weren't aware, the more hidden owners of PRIME also co-founded Alani Nu. Obviously, everyone knows by now, Celsius Holdings acquired Alani Nu for $1.8 billion last April. But while that liquidity event maybe helps assess future risk/reward considerations, it's recognizing the culmination of that intertwined business activity that's most helpful because when a CPG brand rockets from zero to over $1 billion in two years…then falls to around $250 million two years later, it would normally result in chapter 11 bankruptcy.

For our next President in our Good Presidents month, we hit up the quintessential American President: The American President. Generic name? Sure. Love story or political drama? Both. With amazing performances from Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, and Michael J. Fox; witty writing from Aaron Sorkin; and deft direction from Rob Reiner, the American President is a movie that we need right now.

What could be more romantic than two Gen X white guys talking about Alfred Hitchcock's most romantic film before Valentine's Day? I'm sure plenty of things, but this is what you get from the Sonic Cinema Podcast this year. My frequent guest, Phil Fasso, returns for the third time in five months to discuss Cary Grant and Grace Kelly being two of the most drop-dead gorgeous people in movie history in Hitchcock's 1955 light and entertaining caper, "To Catch a Thief". I hope you enjoy!

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.

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. Go subscribe to Irreverent Health. These guys earned it.RELATED LINKS• Irreverent Health Podcast• Matt Hampton – Consilium Institute• Envoy Design• Dr. Tom Ingegno – Charm City Integrative Health• The Cupping Book• You Got Sick—Now What?• Matt Hampton on LinkedIn• Dr. Tom Ingegno on LinkedInFEEDBACKLike this episode?

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.

These are the differences I've noticed between Gen X and millennial parents.' A teacher has compared the parenting of baby boomers, Gen X and millennials and... woah. Gen X and Millennials just discovered 'dishonest harmony'. They blame the Boomers. The forgotten middle children of Generation X have something to say.
