  Slots, Slots Slots and the Sphere review. A Vegas recap

  Sep 25, 20261h 5mS1

  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

  Sep 18, 20261h 7mS1

  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. Fresh!#genx #vegas #21stbirthday #nirvana #gunsnroses

  Sep 2, 20261h 11mS1

  The Gen X Men celebrate the beginning of ESPN and stay out late to watch those west coast games. Or Aussie Rules Football. Or Strongman competitions. If it had a scoreboard, we were watching back in those early ESPN days.Now it's all just talking heads and yelling. Speaking of yelling...everyone yelled at Rachel "Ray Gun" after her Olympic performance in Paris back in '24. And Netflix made a special. Gary watched it...because Gary will watch anything. His review is in the 2nd half of the show.Thanks for checking us out. Like and subscribe and spread the word!#Raygun #netflixoriginal #genx #espn #aussierules

  Who bought 12 CDs for a penny??!?!

  Aug 20, 20261h 5mS1

  Ah, the good old days. Flipping open the Sunday paper, pulling out Parade Magazine and finding gold in the back pages: Columbia House Records and Tapes.Twelve of your favorite albums for one penny. CDs, cassettes, vinyl, even 8-tracks over the years. Sure, you had to buy a few more at full price—but to a Gen X teenager, that first package showing up at the door felt like Christmas.Bill and Gary look back at the glory days of Columbia House, the fine print nobody read, and the postcard you absolutely had to remember to send back before the next “selection” showed up on your bill.Then the guys jump around the musical time machine: Debbie Gibson’s Out of the Blue turns another year older, Belinda Carlisle is somehow 68, and we say a fond farewell to ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, who passed away this week at 77.It’s a jam-packed musical edition of Gen-X Men—just remember to mail back the postcard before they charge you for this month’s selection.#GenX #GenXMen #ColumbiaHouse #80sMusic #90sMusic #DebbieGibson #BelindaCarlisle #ZZTop #MusicNostalgia
