Episode 10 (Cold Rocks and Hot Takes)

Wow, we made it to episode 10! Take that haters! Two weeks have gone by in pop culture and the guys have lots of catching up to do. First up, how do Xennials handle Valentine’s Day? How have things changed since the terrifying days of public school and high school? After we open up those old wounds, we move right along to what may be the only time in history that Matt has a sports rant! Of course it’s about Olympic Women’s curling, but he might just be on to something. Lastly the guys wrap up by discussing & debating all the important geek movie trailers that dropped during the Super Bowl. You don’t want to miss this! All this, plus more talk of the SpaceX Heavy Rocket, Chocolate Chunk cookies and Disney films!

Episode 8 (That Kev Smith!)

Is this the most embarrassing episode yet? It may be as the guys gush over their hero, Kevin Smith. Listen as Adam and Matt go over in painful detail their appreciation of everything Kevin Smith has produced and done, from movies, to books, to TV and more! It’s clear that Kevin Smith has been an inspiration to the hosts, and the this podcast overall. If you’ve never heard of Mr. Smith, (and seriously, where have you been?!), hopefully we’ll convince you to take a trip down the rabbit hole of all his creative endeavors. Whether it’s Mallrats, Tusk, Comic Book Men, or maybe his Podcasts and live Q&As, we’re pretty sure you’ll find something to enjoy. So click on, buckle up and listen in, as we present you another Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!

Episode 7 (Millennial Dysfunction)

Another week gone by already, and we bring you another great episode of The Happy Xen Podcast! This week the guys are recording at the infamous Happy Xen production studio (AKA Matt’s home office) and things get off to a unpredictable start. The discussion starts about legendary cult film & TV actor Bruce Campbell and goes off the rails. Once back on track, Adam and Matt discuss the generation ideology gap between Baby Boomers and Millennials, especially when it comes to the work force and getting a job. Discussion then turns to a recent BBC article about the current trend of blaming Millenials for the death of just about every institution that shows any sign of changing or going away. So click on, buckle up and listen in, as we present you another Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!
