Two college friends talk about growing up X and everything pop culture, music, shared experiences as a member of the (somewhat) forgotten generation. They talk current events through the lens of shared experiences of being latch key kids and staying out until the street lights come on.
Slots, Slots Slots and the Sphere review. A Vegas recap
Gary went to Vegas (eventually) and hit the slots, the sphere and a bunch of really good restaurants. Even a celebrity sighting as well! Get the whole recap and why his son needs to start at a lower level blackjack room before he works his way up to the Vegas tables.It wasn't all roses though. A flight delay had them sitting overnight in Charlotte, which is never a good thing.Also, how is Sydney Sweeney setting back female athletes...when she isn't even a female athlete? Make it make sense.#80s #genx #vegas #vegasslotmachines #vegassphere

Why I’m Taking My Son to Vegas for His 21st Birthday
That’s right, friends — Gary is taking his son to Las Vegas for his 21st birthday, so the guys talk about turning 21, the idea of a father-son Vegas trip, why Bill has never really been a “Vegas guy,” and whether Gary’s son can actually count cards like he claims. There’s also plenty of talk about blackjack, casinos, and what makes a Vegas trip memorable in the first place.In the second half of the episode, the guys look back at one wild week in 1991 rock music when everything seemed to change. Guns N’ Roses released Use Your Illusion I & II, and just one week later Nirvana dropped Nevermind. It felt like the end of the ’80s — the optimism, excess and “we can do anything” attitude suddenly giving way to grunge, angst and a completely different sound and style.And on a happier note, happy birthday to fellow Gen Xer Doug E.
