Send a FanMail to the GenX Stories gang via text message! Since we last saw you, a lot has happened: AARP published us in their magazine. Everyone listened to our drunk episode (ouch). Court and Chris's kids went off to college. Lori mastered the lazy river. And Eve broke some plates (creatively, of course). Oh - we also have a brand new merch store you’re gonna go nuts over (yes, seriously). So what could possibly follow all that in our first episode back? 80s trivia, with questions fr...

Thanks to Lori, we're talking aliens this week - the pop culture kind, the Cold War paranoia kind, and the-cops-told-Eve's-mom-in '58-it-was-a-weather-balloon-but-it-was-definitely-not kind. From Close Encounters to Alien to ET to Project Hail Mary to things on the moon in Roman tim...

Send a FanMail to the GenX Stories gang via text message! Ever wondered what happens when an entire cruise ship full of Gen Xers decide to relive the greatest decade? Wonder no more. In this week's episode, we're taking you aboard the 80s Cruise - where the fanny packs are unironic, the hair is big, and the hits just keep on coming. We're talking live concerts, old-school heartthrobs, neon everything, and a crowd that still knows every single word to every single song. Whether you...
