I'm into:

  • Wine
  • Cigars
  • Whiskey/bourbon/scotch
  • Steakhouses
  • Golf
  • Classic rock.


Collectively this list reads like the conventional interests a sitcom showrunner will write into a Boomer/Gen X side character named Jason (or Chris or Bradly) who serves as a generational foil to the “trendier” millennial characters living down the hall of their shared apartment building.

Our latest episode opens with purple haired Kayla, one of our central millennial characters, fighting against her latest “existential” moments of “feeling vaguely useless” while sharing a vape stick with her roommate near their Keurig Brewer (shameless product placement). Meanwhile, through his front door (graced by a Baywatch poster) Jason can be heard emotionally aggrieved! Kayla, knocking, discovers Jason’s distress is over Motörhead tickets he’s just ordered, which are only available in digital format. Fortunately for Jason, all it takes is Kayla coaching him through how to download a ticket app to his smartphone while the live audience guffaws and farts along to Kayla affirming her restored feelings of usefulness. Jason celebrates with Kayla by ordering a round of Jameson shots at the downstairs bar. (Think Mike & Molly mindlessness.)

Promos for Season 2 hint at Jason (or Chris or Bradly) attempting more unpredictable interests – killer beekeeping, Tottenham FC, birdwatching, bidding at abandoned storage unit auctions, culturally appropriated food trucking, repurposing his undersized bathroom into an infrared spa? Tune in to find out!

In Episode 3 Jason invites the gang to watch Purdue football. They constantly call it "sportsball" and then when Jason goes to the bathroom they turn on their favorite Twitch streamer playing Fortnite. Jason returns and is flummoxed on how anyone could enjoy watching someone play video games and is also flummoxed that he is unable to figure out how to change the channel back to football.

Then there'll be the episode where all the millennial characters are going on and on about the metaverse, which Jason says "sounds stupid and pointless, why not just enjoy the real world?" And then he secretly gets addicted to it and hides his usage of the metaverse from them all in shame.

My favorite part about a generation making fun of the one that follows it is that it doesn't occur to them that their parenting caused about 85% of what they're making fun of.


*That's mostly NOT what's happening here, as you guys are probably 2 or even 3 generations removed from "millenials."

I think we've got some Boomers around here, but also a lot of Gen X. 

I'm personally part of that hybrid Xennial generation at the tail end of Gen X. The ones described as "analog childhood and digital adulthood".

Millennials are, for the most part, the kids of baby boomers.

I'm firmly in the midst of GenX, and for the most part, GenZ are our offspring.  

GenX is of course the offspring of the pre-baby-boomers, who don't have a name as far as I know because that was before it became trendy to name and attempt to define masses of people for the purposes of marketing... and snark.

My wife is a boomer, and I'm barely not.

But, I am more boomer in my ways than anything, so that's what I am.
