Camping over the years

Send us Fan MailAfter a long hiatus, we're back with Episode 20 of *Gen X Perspective*! In this 17-minute reintroduction, I dive into a bit of nostalgia, sharing memories of my early Star Wars collecting days and how those moments shaped me. Now, I'm bringing that passion forward with the launch of my new venture, GenX Sabers (https://www.genxsabers.com), where we're all about bringing high-quality lightsabers and cosplay items to a new generation of fans. Join me for a quick catch-up and a look at how the journey's evolved from the past to the present!Support the show

Send us Fan MailSo in this week's episode, Jason and Tony talk about Jason's quick trip down to LA to go see his mama, and of course, he has to pay homage to In-N-Out Burger. The similarities between our parents and how technology and age don't always play nice and tolerance for change goes to zero. Also, in this episode, I get an opportunity to talk to Jason about what it's like to be Jewish in a time where not only war is breaking out in the west bank and Gaza but attacks right here in LA and  New York City. And how that makes him feel being Jewish and having to worry about such craziness. We also spent some time talking about our grandparents, the social norms of their times, and what was OK then or tolerated than in no way would be OK today. Jason and Tony spend quite a bit of time weaving their way through white privilege and what that means. Tony digs his heels in on the fact that he is Italian and not white and wants Italians put back on the little check box on all the paperwork you fill out at the doctor's office. Among other crazy topics, everything from taxes to Jason's a little more liberal, and Tony is a little more conservative and how that works in today's society. Sit back, relax and enjoy this episode.Support the show

Kong and Godzilla, and just like any good podcast these days, the differences between Bend Oregon and Clayton New York and who's taking the shot and how the media puts their own spin on it. A lot of time was spent just chatting and getting caught up on movies and movie remixes. We spent a little bit of time chatting about our favorite bands from the 80s and 90s and how many of those bands we've gone out and seen in the recent years and which bands will never get back together hint  "Oingo Boingo" just saying so sit back relax and have a good time here's a fun and entertaining hour with my good buddy and best friend for many years Jason Lowy.Support the show

I share my story of the last year and my mental health and how the fog has been lifted at least for meSupport the show

Send us Fan MailMask or not to mask that is the question or at least the question that I asked. In this episode, my guest host Trish the dish from Gen X voice unpack the difference between what the media is telling us about each state and what's actually happening in the state. I recently did some traveling by car to Florida, the experience of what the media is telling me about Florida and that the governor has lifted the mask mandate and what the businesses are actually doing seem to be two different things if you want to go buy groceries get gas go to a liquor store or any small or large business in between you better still have your mask with you because although the state isn't requiring it the businesses are so with that being said no shirt no shoes no mask no service!you can find me at: www.genxperspective.comyou can find Trish at: www.genxvoice.comSupport the show

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we tackle the taboo subjects of a mask or no mask. It sucks getting old and getting gray hair at least in my opinion and how the media changes our perception based on what they choose to show us.  Basically, Trish and I hang out for another hour perusing topics and subjects sit back enjoy and have a good time.Support the show

Send us Fan MailSo, where do I start with this episode? After becoming fast friends with a fellow Podcaster named Trish the Dish from the GenX Voice, it wasn't tough to convince her to sit down with me for what I thought would be a good half hour to a 45-minute conversation about all things Gen X which turned into two, one and a half-hour episodes. So here's part one where we start with talking about the pandemic where we've lived, how these youngsters treat us like old people when we still feel like we're teenagers ourselves "Kinda" and how Trish found herself in Twitter jail, amongst other things. Please sit back, relax and enjoy this two-part series with Trish the dish and myself, Tony Randazzo, for what turns out to be a pretty epic ride; enjoy. Support the show
