The Big 2-5-0: Growing up in the nation's backyard celebration.
<p>It's here. The Big 2-5-0. Happy Birthday America. The celebration doesn't look like it is going to be all that it should be, but the Gen X Men are talking old school traditions, new school problems and why America just keeps plugging along no matter what that small segment of society thinks. (You know the ones, no matter what happens, they aren't happy). We celebrate 250 years of the country and just how close we were to NOT throwing the British across the pond. Believe what you want, but this place is still pretty amazing.Also, July 1984 brought about the new rating of "PG-13", just in time for Bill and Gary to be turning 13. A nice fine line between PG and R. Know the first PG-13 movie? Tune in to find out.Happy 4th of July everyone. Here's to at least another 250. Like, subscribe, tell a friend. And be safe out there. We want everyone to come back with all 10 fingers!#250thanniversary #dc #genxlife #genxpodcast #pg13 #genx #4thofjulyweekend #genxcomedy #growingupGenx</p>

The Fear of the Phone Call: Gex X dating as a teenager
<p>You remember. Nervous. Voice cracking. Maybe saying a silent prayer the mom or dad of your crush didn't answer the phone. Dating as a Gen-Xer back in the day was no joke. Cell phones? No way. text her? with what? No. You had to man up, get her number. DIAL the number and then just gut it out depending on who answered the phone. And 3 way calling? The always present worry in the back of your mind.Gary and Bill take a look at how different dating was for those of us going out back in the 80's and even into the 90's in college. No way to text someone, no way to only call THEM with the entire house knowing you called. And if you DARED honk the horn in the driveway to let her know you were there...odds are, DAD would be the one coming to the door, not your date.The Gen X Men also take a quick look at a pretty historical day for pop music. June 25 1984 Prince drops the "Purple Rain" sound track. Hit after hit, after hit. And in 2009 we lost the icon of icons as Michael Jackson passed away. Two HUGE artists tied to the same date for different reasons. Give us a like, hit that subscribe button and lets know in the comments...did you ever hang up because the girl's father answered the phone instead of her??!<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/genxpodcast">#genxpodcast</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/genxlife">#genxlife</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/genx">#genx</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/genxdating">#GenxDating</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/80snostalgia">#80snostalgia</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/purplerain">#purplerain</a></p>
