Stupid Gen X Tricks

About Stupid Gen X Tricks

Stupid Gen X Tricks: The podcast for people who used to be cool. Join The Daves (Anderson and Seldin), two longtime friends who met in the chaos of a presidential campaign, worked in the White House, and somehow made it out alive—only to realize they’re now the middle children of history, wedged between Boomers and Millennials, watching their pop culture references get blank stares. Each episode, they sit down with fascinating guests to swap war stories, dissect what the hell happened to our world, and figure out what it all means now. Expect deep dives into music, movies, sports, politics, and the shared trauma of growing up analog in a digital world. If you remember life before the internet but still somehow know how to use it, this one’s for you.
