the GenX Detention Club

Real conversations about Gen X life.

We’re the kids who grew up with latchkeys, rotary phones, and the understanding that if you broke it, you fixed it—or learned to live without it. Now we’re the ones raising kids (and sometimes grandkids), caring for aging parents, grinding through careers, and still trying to figure out what the hell “balance” is supposed to look like.

the GenX Detention Club is a podcast hosted by Jim and Todd—two old friends who reconnected after three decades of silence. We sit down with everyday people from our generation and talk honestly about where life actually took us after high school: the wins, the hard seasons, the marriages that made it, the ones that didn’t, the careers that surprised us, the quiet regrets, the quiet victories, and the things that still matter when the noise dies down.

No influencers. No performance. No nostalgia bait. Just real people telling the truth about the long middle of life—family, work, faith, failure, resilience, and the strange privilege of still being here to talk about it.

We’re building a kind of living yearbook for our generation: class-reunion style conversations recorded so our kids and grandkids might one day hear what it was actually like to walk through the decades we inherited and the ones we’re still shaping.

New episodes and live conversations coming soon.
