Chat & Bother

Ready to start all the best conversations? Start right here with us on Chat & Bother. Are you tired of no one responding to your Tweets, Facebook posts, WhatsApp, or group chat messages? Do you start your day by chatting with friends on social media or checking the group chat for a great discussion? Eva does. Every morning she wakes up her husband Don (much too early for his liking) with pop culture, internet drama, nostalgia, and what's new, next, and "nah." Each week on Chat & Bother, Black, Gen X husband and wife conversation starters, Don and Eva discuss a question or topic that people are asking each other online. It could be something that you and your friends are already talking about, or it could be something that you should be talking about.

  1. Thirteen CDs for a Penny? Was Gen X the MOST Advertised to Generation?

    APR 13

    Thirteen CDs for a Penny? Was Gen X the MOST Advertised to Generation?

    Thirteen tapes for a penny from Columbia House? Win a million dollars if you order some magazines from Publisher's Clearing House? PART of a complete breakfast? Learning to break dance from Alfonso Ribero's BOOK? In the 80's they really went all in on getting our attention—and our allowance money. Gen X grew up in an advertising wonderland, where every cartoon had a toy line, every cereal had a mascot, and everything we saw on TV was a commercial in disguise. In this episode, Don and Eva talk bout their favorite ads and how marketers targeted an entire generation with jingles, prizes, and pop culture tie-ins that were impossible to ignore. Were we the most advertised-to generation in history—or just the first to know we were being sold to? Let’s rewind the VHS and find out.

    Gen X Anxiety EXPLAINED: Are Boomers Responsible?

    Did Baby Boomers create the perfect storm for Gen X anxiety? Or did they accidentally raise the most resilient (and hilariously unbothered) generation ever? In this episode, Eva and Don break down the chaos of growing up Gen X—where every game, playground, and news report felt like the apocalypse was just around the corner.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPL5EaqZeyc Watch on YouTube In this episode: The nerve-wracking games like Operation and the Pop-Up Tic Tac Toe game that made kids sweat! Playground warfare: dodgeball, Red Rover, and other borderline-dangerous games that ruptured spleens and dislocated shoulders. The rise of 24/7 news and how it turned every headline into a kid’s worst nightmare. How the Baby Boomer “every man for himself” mentality shaped Gen X into the most anxious yet feral and unbothered generation. We want to hear from YOU! What childhood games made YOU the most nervous?

    Which 80s Toys Were Every Gen X Kid’s Dream?

    Did you ever dream of cruising the neighborhood on a Big Wheel, baking tiny cakes in an Easy-Bake Oven, or ruling over the ultimate Barbie Dream House? In this episode of Chat and Bother, Don and Eva take a nostalgic trip back to the 80s, reminiscing about the toys they desperately wanted as Gen X kids—some they got, some they didn’t, and some that still haunt them to this day. Watch on YouTube (with bonus videos!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJu2_SFBEFQ   From Tonka Trucks to backgammon sets, they explore how childhood toy wishes shaped their emotions (and maybe their need for therapy now).

    AITA: Affair Baby Gets Tuition, Our Child Gets Nothing

    This week, Don and Eva tackle a heated AITA post that’s sparking plenty of opinions. A mother is thinking about taking her ex-husband to court to help pay for their child’s private school tuition after discovering he’s planning to pay tuition at the same school for his other child with his current wife. The twist? The ex might not be able to afford both, and tensions are running high as questions of fairness, finances, and parental responsibility come into play. Don and Eva break down the situation, debating whether the mom is justified in her actions or if she’s stirring up unnecessary drama. They discuss the challenges of co-parenting, the complexities of blended families, and the emotional weight of trying to do what’s best for your child. Is she the a**hole? Call us and tell us what you think at 312-788-7827, or tell us what you think on our Facebook page. Read the Full AITA Post!
