Episode notes

It’s time for another Generation Gap Culture Hour where I sit down with Josh Gilbert and Tony Jones to talk about current culture from across our 20-year age perspectives.

In today’s episode we talk about:

How bands I toured with on the Warped Tour are now featuring at venues reserved for “legacy acts.” 👀
Band merchandise etiquette, including one very cringe story from Tony
Current events including Trump’s presidency and the TikTok ban
The absurdity of long URLs in podcast advertising
Institutions and outdated social media practices
Our favorite media of 2024: books about burnout culture, Korean War fighter pilots, and the fall of the Roman Empire

In the patron-only second half, we get more in-depth discussing Joe Rogan's recent interactions with Christian figures, and examining the intersection of apologetics, early Christian history, and religious experience.

Highlights:

05:45 Political Concerns and TikTok Ban Discussions

14:47 Dude Lit, Books, Movies & TV Shows of the Year

23:53 Joe Rogan's Cultural Impact and Christianity
