Speaker 1 (00:00):
Vogue magazine put out an article that suggested maybe jen
X people born between nineteen sixty five and nineteen eighty
might be the coolest generation and got it all right,
heck you, that's what I say too.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I believe the article is written by a millennial too.
Yes it was, yeah, and we'll get into that in
just a second. But I hope you guys checked out
our social media. There was a video that I posted
from a woman that I met. Her name is Aaron,
and I had a separate It was a business lunch
with her, and she had told me a great story

(00:34):
about listening to JB and I when she was a
little girl and growing up, and so after the lunch,
I asked her to retell the story and it was
pretty cool, very cool. She was a girl that had
a tough childhood and from the time she was eleven,
you know, all the way for many years after, she
would get up early in the morning and walk to

(00:54):
school hours before school started and sit outside of school
waiting for school to start and listen to us.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
And she was like, you guys were like a family.
And it was just a kind of a cool video.
And I was as I watched it and as she
told the story, I was like, this, that makes it
all worth it, you know what I mean? You can
connect with one person like that, And we were comforting
to her and she j she said, you guys were
the only normal thing in my life, Like I knew
that my family was going to be there on the

(01:23):
radio and listen to you guys.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
So yeah, it makes me want to give her a hug.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
I was just annoyed that you didn't, Tiger, because I
wanted to follow her. She's adorable, she is, and it
was a sweet story and I just wanted to connect.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
But yeah, I'll find her. I'll get her Instagram for you, JB,
and I'll find out that the stalking began, yes exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
No, I just thought it was sweet, like she just
she's there there, she was telling you the story, and
they're just there was something in her face and her expression.
I go, oh, I just adore And at the end,
you were like, can I give you a hug or
something like that?

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
And I think everyone who watched that video wanted to
give her a hug, and we didn't even know why.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Right exactly, You're right, something about the way her voice
was and the way she looked and she told the story,
and uh, it was.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
It was touching. Put it that way, very very touching.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So you can find that on our Instagram at JB
Sandy ATX. You can also find it on our Facebook
page search the JB and Sandy Morning Show, and Aaron,
if you're out there listening, that that story that you
shared made it worth it, you know, because it's you know,
the early hours are tough, you know what I mean,
And so doing that it was glad.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
It's just like I was watching it as kind of
a radio nerd.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I was like, that's how you connect with listeners right there.
You don't connect with listeners by doing wacky prank phone calls. Second, Yeah,
that type of thing. It's never been our style, and
it's we've often JB. Would you agree been misunderstood on
our approach to doing this because we never did the
things that everyone else was doing.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Those are all fine and entertaining, but you can get
those kind of things in your life anywhere.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Right exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
And I don't think you build a connection with another
person that way, you know what I mean. Anyway, So
let's talk about an article in Vogue that was basically
said Generation X might be the coolest generation. She said,
despite being over shadowed by debates about Gen Z and millennials.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
So the girl that wrote it, her name is Daisy
Jones and Tricia. You are right.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
She is a millennial and writes for Vogue. But she
makes a lot of good points about gen X. I'm
a guess about ninety nine percent of our audience listening
right now is Jena. Yeah, I think so, born between
sixty five and nineteen eighty. The cultural impact that she
points out that gen X shaped nineteen nineties culture with

(03:55):
the music, the films, and the literature that came out
in nineteen nineties. The style and the attitude of Gen
X's the fashion, she says, a carefree, slacker vibe, contrast
with modern trends like skincare obsession. Because in the eighties
and the eighties and the nineties, gen X we were

(04:18):
like just doing what we wanted, right, it was we
weren't following Were we following trends?

Speaker 5 (04:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I mean I think we were a little bit. It
kind of depends on different what age you were. Yeah,
but they were cool trends compared to some of the
weird stuff that is trendy these days. You know, when
you get the trends from TikTok and social media, you
know what I mean. Yeah, it's a different kind of
of trends. I feel like that we followed.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
She also points out in this article again this is
an author from Vogue magazine saying that, you know, Gen
X was probably the coolest, which I think we would
all agree because we are that. But she talks about
the icons of Gen x X and Jenek put out
a lot of icons.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Edbie Murphy, Tom Cruise, Debbie Harry. It goes on and on,
John Hughes, Wow, Robert Dowdy Junior, John, Johnny Depp, I mean,
Axel Rose. It goes on and on of the quote
unquote icons that come from from Generation X.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
But I always thought, go ahead, Jim, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
No, I just say one of the I think, and
I'm not gonna say one's better than the other. It's
always different. But one of the things that I think
about being a Gen X or that we're so fortunate
is we got to grow up analog and then go
fully digital, meaning we didn't have the Internet. Our kids
grew up fully digital. Yeah, we grew up on analogy.

(05:56):
We're the last generation to be analog, where you go
out and play until the sun goes down.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
And you didn't always know what your other friends were doing,
what you were getting left out of exactly.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yeah, it didn't matter.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Right, you didn't care because you were playing with the
people who were right in front of you. Our daughter,
they all track each other. Let me give you know
where everyone is it every moment.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
I give you a great example of that.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
So on Saturday, Landry and I went up to the
middle school track for a running workout and we're there
and all of a sudden, her friend Miley shows up
and she was like, She's like, oh yeah, I saw
on the find my app that you guys were here
at the track, so I thought I'd come work out
with you.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah. That's different world. Yeah right, Wow, that was my
mind was blown.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
When we were that age, we we ended up at
the same place because there was leftover construction.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Would yes, we all up there. Oh we can build stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, we were fairal we were just Jamie, you're you're right.
We experienced the world way differently than the millennials.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
The gen z's did you had to You had to
entertain yourself right every single day.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I don't think that our bodies are built to wake
up and instantly know all of the horrible, terrible things
that are going on around the world, all of the
bad things that happened in your city while you were asleep.
All that does is just produce so much more anxiety,
and then it makes parents parent differently than when our
parents would be like, do not come back in this

(07:30):
house until it's dark outside.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, national news becomes local news in the modern world.
So when we were growing up the town over, children
could be disappearing right and left, and you didn't know, You.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Had no idea, you had no clue, So your day right,
so your parents didn't lock you in the house.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
It still now there could be something happening across the
states over and it puts the fear in you.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, and I don't think we're supposed to know, you
know what I mean by that.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Brains are meant to on all of that stress and information.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I did see a really interesting interview with this woman
that pointed out that you can literally trace back the
helicopter parenting, the over protective parenting, trace it right back
to the movie Stranger Danger.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Which was the.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Walsh Yes yep, and he said you can literally go
back to win. That movie aired on network television as
the day that The Helicopter Parent was born. And kids
stopped playing outside because you were afraid that I'm super
afraid that they were gonna be kidnapped, which I.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Mean, that's a fear, of course, every the odd odds.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Are also, though, don't you remember when you were sent
outside and you couldn't come back in like you're you'd
be out doing stuff, not getting in trouble.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
You had some friend.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Who'd be like, let's go do this that you knew
you weren't supposed to do, and you have to rely
on yourself to go over in your brain, what would
happen if my mom finds out?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
What are my consequences? Am I willing to? Like you
had to make the decision.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, Now kids aren't allowed to play outside by themselves,
so the bad kid doesn't have a chance to put
you in a position to have to decide am I.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Going to be good? Am I going to There's no
Chris McCormick anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, there's no kids to get you in trouble.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Because your parents are right there and tracking you at
all times.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Do you sometimes think about how many times, growing up
as a kid of the seventies you evaded death?

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Oh oh yeah, bazillion times.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah, so many times.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Yeah, there's so many, many times.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Oh, and then even as a teenager, just the way
I live, like, I can't believe we're still here, Like.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, it's amazing we're alive. Yeah, I mean, anyone can
say that.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
It's funny because you talk about helicopter parents and I'm like,
my daughter's twenty three, and I remember saying to this when.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
She was twenty.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
I would go, I would say to my daughter, I go,
my parents didn't know where I was. At your age,
we might have gone a month or more without talking,
like while I was in school and just off doing
things like where I was.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Hey, dude, they had to on television, had to put
up a message at ten o'clock every night asking parents
if they knew where their children were.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Literally, literally, it's ten o'clock, do you know where your
children are? That's how out of touch they were to be.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, that had to be reminded to see if your
kids were at home. Remarkable, But I will I'll say,
gen X got it right, I think, yeah, definitely, we're fortunate,
don't you think?

Speaker 4 (10:48):
No? When I think, when I also think about it,
like not only did we get to grow up analog,
which was super cool, but we were also prior to
our generation. You you went to school and you got
a job with a company and you worked there until
you retired. Yeah, we were the first to go f that. Yes,

(11:09):
and just like or I'll work for myself, like it
just we were the first to just do that, just
to and it was still that way. We were right
on the cusp because when you know, all my friends
were graduating college, like, oh I got an offer from
such and such, you know accounting firm, and that's where
they're going to work in del a d. But then

(11:30):
we started going, wait a minute, why do I want
to work for the man? I don't want to work
for the man. And then grunge music came along and
it was a big f you to everything.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
It was just do you remember, like compared to not
everyone's building I use all these like that like Local
Lost and Company Poppy. They just built up and I
believe sold for a bazillion dollars to Koda. Yeah, yeah,
it's a soda that has a probiotic in it, you know,
And they built it up and they saw it. That's

(12:04):
everyone's goal now when they build a business, to build
it up and sell it to the big guy. Yeah,
we called you a sellout if you did that, right right,
We were.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Like, what you're gonna sell out to the man?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Done all this work and build it up, and now
you're gonna get rid of it? Well full point now
is the money?

Speaker 5 (12:23):
Right?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Remember how mad we got when when certain songs got
used by Pepsi or somebody.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Two songs and Pepsi what sell out?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Oh it was Apple, That's what it was with you two.
It was like that's when they saw.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
My daughter was so mad about that that it automatically
put it on her device.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Oh people are still mad?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, right, definitely right anyway, gen X, in our opinion,
they got it right.
