Stay ConnectedGen X, This is Why is a podcast that re-examines the sometimes bizarre and often scarring media from our shared childhood. Jennie and Amye, sisters and sometimes mortal enemies, are your hosts. Our first stop is Walnut Grove as we take a fresh look at our favorite frontier family (as if we can name another), the Ingalls. There is some seriously weird sh*t in this show that answers a lot of questions…

Charles' "grange trip" turns into a bang trip as he and Caroline attend their class reunion in Milwaukee. Charles is clearly uncomfortable as all of his high school buddies have become rich and miserable. Amy Fisher makes a surprise appearance as she tries to lure Charles into some sexy time by a pond- as usual. Caroline is also the object of desire for some 57-year-old dude who must have graduated when he was 32. We have big news: our mother has started listening and we are f*cked. Jennie talks about beer for way too long, and Amye introduces Jennie to sales ponies.

In this episode, we meet Bart Slater, a thirty-seven-year-old Freshman who bullies everyone in school. Albert the Fixer devises an elaborate plan to rid the school of Bart, but Carrie opens up her trash mouth and ruins everything. Ms. Beadle does not come out against the existence of werewolves, and once again, Walnut Grove is undone by the lack of solid facts and peer-reviewed evidence. Amye rails against school boards, we are introduced to Mob Justice-different than Creek Justice, and Jennie comes out in favor of a good beat down.

In this look back at the Xmas of 1988, Doogie Howser recalls his quest to land a classic NES system for the holiday. He must face a schoolyard bully, his parents' resistance, and a town ban on video games to complete this caper. We reminisce about great Nintendo games including our favorite, Zelda. And in a case of life imitating art, we got sucked into a video game on Thanksgiving Day and almost forgot to make dinner.

This episode is full of surprises as Caroline's mother comes to visit...in a coffin, Charles decides to secretly send Caroline's father's manuscript to a publisher, and Mary has a two-year pregnancy. We give the "soddy" a new nickname, Jennie is getting worse at cooking, and Amye rants a lot.

It is Rev's turn for a breakdown this week as a charlatan arrives in Walnut Grove and starts healing people. All is fine until he kills a kid and it is up to Charles to prove the whole thing is a sham. And of course, Harriet is behind this mess. We discover where Amye's fear of everything came from, Jennie gives us some info on float therapy and Benedict Arnold-not necessarily together, and we love a good public takedown.

He’s back! And he’s in a real bad mood. Mr. Edwards is injured after he saves Alicia from danger. This injury converts this tough-talking mountain man into a big man baby who threatens to traumatize and destroy his entire family. Good thing sweet, intuitive Pa is on the case to fake a shooting and almost kill Edwards for real this time. Amye has a 33% failure rate in her new producer role, we play a game of “inappropriate versus appropriate,” and Jennie opens up on her complex feelings regarding pills.

In this Rev-centric episode, Rev is flattered when a woman named Anna takes an interest in his....um, sermon. The two fall in love and are about to marry until Harriet decides no one can ever be happy. Will Rev choose Anna over his congregation? Will we throw up in our mouths a little bit? We share breaking news about William Henry Harrison, argue over old wives’ tales, and Amye gets a case of the giggles. Again.

In this crossover episode, Amye and Lori from The Untitled GenX Podcast sit down and discuss Saved By The Bell Season 2, Episode 9: Jessie's Song.
When Zack Morris decides to create his own version of a boy band using Jessie, Kelly, and Lisa, Jessie cracks under the pressure of a Geometry quiz and jeopardizes Hot Sundae's promising future. Slater is shocked to learn Jessie is popping caffeine pills, and he seems to be the only one who cares. Amye and Lori discuss their similar struggles with math, the glorious darkness that is Heathers, and we heap some praise on Gen Z, who we are convinced will save us all.

The circus comes to town and we can’t decide who we hate more: Nels, Harriet, or the weirdo clowns running around. Nels is reunited with his *gasp* fat sister, Annabelle, and in a huge act of bravery reveals to the town they are related. Is Laura a sociopath or just a lazy seamstress? Amye channels Lester Holt in a Dateline skit that falls flat. Finally, we have a really long conversation about weight and representation in the media.

Adam is selected to win an award which leads to: Mary's glasses almost killing her, a pregnant woman in a terrible stage coach accident, Adam almost becoming paralyzed, and Charles and dollar-store Ride or Die saving the day. Albert is once again the hero as he tries to kill the Olesons with bees. Jennie puts an end to the Almonzo imitation, Amye is terrified of beehives in her walls, and we create a new verb: little housed.
