Parent Torturing - A Holiday Tradition | Vintage 27

Welcome to a vintage episode of the Brand X Podcast! In this throwback installment, originally released November 23, 2016. John and Deuce kick things off by reminiscing about their week, from brutal summer heat to work parties and memories of manual labor in their youth.

The hosts dive into an entertaining discussion about how times have changed, especially for younger generations. They reflect on the work ethic instilled in them through chores, early jobs, and hands-on problem-solving, contrasting it with today’s culture of convenience and technology.

The conversation steers into a lively debate about millennials, touching on everything from participation trophies and the rise of the “everyone's a winner” mentality to the economic and social shifts that have redefined what growing up looks like.

John and Deuce explore whether their generation is partially responsible for these changes, reminiscing about building go-karts, mowing lawns, and delivering newspapers—while also touching on the challenges young people face today.

Amidst these stories, the hosts don’t shy away from politics, digging into the current election climate and Supreme Court nominations, all served up with their signature mix of humor and opinion. Tune in for a nostalgic, honest, and often hilarious conversation about growing older, generational change, and the quirks of American life, as only Brand X can deliver.
