Episode 235: Boomer Are You OK? Are You OK Boomer?
Show Notes Episode 235: ” Boomer Are You OK? Are You OK Boomer?”
This week, Host Dave Bledsoe angrily denies that he is a Baby Boomer just because his drinking habit makes him appear to be much older than he is. (Seriously man, get help!) On the show this week we examine the hip new trend of the Youngs being cruel to the Olds by pointing out how the Olds squandered the Youngs future to pay for cocaine and luxury automobiles! (Man, the 80’s were wild)
Along the way we look at the confusion behind what generation got freaky to produce what generation. (It is all very confusing.) We discover a totally forgotten generation that actually DID all the stuff the Baby Boomers like to claim THEY did, The Silent Generation. (Maybe if they spoke up people would know about all the stuff they did!) We take a tour of what Generation X is up to these days, only to discover we are STILL sulking around in scruffy clothes and writing poetry in journals, only the now all the poetry is about how hard it is to communicate with our Gen Z kids because we don’t understand Snapchat. (OK, Gen Xer)
Our Sponsor this week is CAPS LOCK BY FACEBOOK a messaging app by Boomer for Boomers, because when you want to tell a generation they are wrong, you want to say it in CAPS LOCK. We open the show with a battle in the Generation War and close with the song that sparked a million memes all being mean to Baby Boomers.
