In this week\'s episode, we\'re talking about our generations. After Justin\'s mini-generation was dubbed Geriatric Millennials, we decided to read two examples from Donald Hall\'s book Essays After Eighty. Also: a Uhaul story, teaching 9/11 essays to Gen Z, a little baseball talk about the "yips," times we biffed it in public, an old-themed lightning round, and lots & lots of old-person complaining about the kids these days.
