Stephen GodfreyGUEST
There's a generation that's closer to me that sort of like, I, I don't, I'm a Xennial or whatever, kind of like in your, in your mid-40s, that all went to Ole Miss before the, um, enrollment boom happened in the Saban era of the SEC, but they were all from Atlanta, they were from Dallas They were from even like, uh, you know, New York, New Jersey area, and they all got into like tech, oil, et cetera, and you get to be a big booster fish in a small pond.
Stephen GodfreyGUEST
And so they kinda changed the calculus of boosters at Ole Miss.
Stephen GodfreyGUEST
It's funny because like everything goes back to like the mascot and the r- and race and all that kind of stuff.
Jessica LanyadooHOST
I mean, I agree 10,000%, and I also think that's a little bit of a culture of age issue.
Jessica LanyadooHOST
I don't think that that is, like, as much of a Gen X or baby boomer cultural issue as much as it is maybe a Xennial, millennial, and Gen Z cultural issue.
Jessica LanyadooHOST
And I think that partially has to do with these generations and the surveillance culture created through social media and being raised online.
Jessica LanyadooHOST
And with that, kind of, like, the counter quote-unquote "cancel culture," which I think is a term that has been used in a million terrible ways.
ShipwreckHOST
So I'm not Gen X and I'm not really a millennial.
ShipwreckHOST
I'm like a Gen Xennial.
ShipwreckHOST
I like a Xennial.
ShipwreckHOST
Anyway, where like that was your that was what you like skinny air.
ShipwreckHOST

Meghan CunninghamHOST
Excuse me, love that about the Xennial period.

Meghan CunninghamHOST
Well,
Travis VoxnessHOST
So we're talking about things that made us, and kind of especially growing up in the '80s as, and '90s as kids.
Travis VoxnessHOST
We'll talk a little about Xennial stuff again and, uh, just have fun.
Travis VoxnessHOST
So here we go.
Travis VoxnessHOST
We are bringing in our friend Mark Hewitt to this episode, part three.
5 MINS LATER
Mark HewittGUEST
Mm-hmm
Travis VoxnessHOST
... um, out to visit you out there at the children's home.
Travis VoxnessHOST
And, uh, yeah, you just talked about how you had listened to the episode and, like, you, you've, you've kind of geeked out on the Xennial thing for years, you know, and had conversations, and like, you shared with me some awesome links to, like, some great articles and stuff.
Travis VoxnessHOST
So you've kind of been all about this microgeneration for a long time too.
Ted PhaneufGUEST
... you know, to kind of pick us up if, if we skinned our knee and said, "Look, this is how we're gonna take care of it.
Ted PhaneufGUEST
This is how we're gonna, you know, clean you up, and this is what we're gonna do." But I think that's where, like, us tail end Gen Xers or Xennials, as I like to-
Sarah BuinoHOST
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Ted PhaneufGUEST
... you know, call, you know, that's what makes us different parents.
David KnightHOST
He says, born in the year 1979, I am a xenial, a member of that most exclusive of micro generations.
David KnightHOST
So, yeah, not just Gen X, not Gen Z, but a xenial, X-E-N-N-I-A-L, and or millennial.
David KnightHOST
Anyway, so he's right there at the turning point of this.
David KnightHOST
He's all about the generations, isn't he? And it's amazing to me to see that as well, because people talk about all these different generations, Gen Z, Gen X, millennials, boomers, so forth.
Lyle PerezHOST
Yeah, that's kinda what I thought.
Lyle PerezHOST
Um, did, us Xennials, or, uh, whatever time period we end up calling [laughs] ourselves, we had a lot of things that really shaped our horror childhood.
Lyle PerezHOST
We had things like Goosebumps.
Lyle PerezHOST
We had Eerie, Indiana.
Shanna Katz KattariHOST
Okay, so the next big question is, you've told me that you're a young diva in the social work field and always ready and willing to share your Gen Z perspectives on things.
Shanna Katz KattariHOST
And I am a, I've been calling myself a Xennial with an X, but somebody the other day told me it's pronounced Xennial.
Lexie OverstreetGUEST
That's true.
Shanna Katz KattariHOST
That makes me feel really, really old.
David KnightHOST
He says, born in the year 1979, I am a xenial, a member of that most exclusive of micro generations.
