This Halloween, we’re unwrapping all the “tricks” that scared the hell out of us as Gen X kids… and realizing that while some fears fade, ours just get funnier.

Ever wonder what happens when a Gen X guardian tries to keep up with their Gen Z ward? Spoiler: it’s hilarious. This episode features co-host Chris’s teenager - who, against all odds, gives us actual hope for her generation. Between vintage sarcasm, justifying lateness, and a shared love of ‘80s music (and epic eye-rolls), their relationship proves Gen X and Gen Z might have more in common than we’d ever admit. Bonus points if you can count how many times she pointedly says “Christopher!”

Remember applying to colleges without a single YouTube tutorial in sight, lofting your own dorm bed without approval, and taking "never doing this again" 8am classes? Yeah, we do too, and we’re not holding back.

If you (barely) survived your own college years in the ‘80s and ‘90s, this one’s for you. Hear us flail through questionable life choices (and the lifelong friends who got us through them) and how we're prepping our Gen Z spawn for their own college daze.
