As a Gen Xer myself, I sometimes wonder we were born at a very specific time. When old analog was slowly transitioning to digital. So we are the last and only generation who knows a bit of the old and LOT of the new technology as well.
We are the Generation born to Analog, and will die in a Digital. I think many will live long enough to see Digital turned against Freedom and Liberty into a Police State.
And many of us were underpaid to create this digital world and load it with prior knowledge; scanning books and data entry for archives that are still searchable
We think we're faxing a picture. I think the "print from your phone" apps were a tech cul-de-sac made just for us. And omg printer ink is such a rip off!! 😜 Boomers take pics of docs, send it to you, and think their paperwork is as good as faxed, tho...
As many before me have said! Buy that man a beer! The photo drying is the best. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!! You’re dad has a ton on knowledge you just have to listen!!
Photos where developed there in one hour; it was the newest greatest thing. Because it used to take a week. I used to work at a studio where we developed photos. We also took portraits. It wasn’t a SEARS. It was all in house.
Having lived through the 80s I'll offer that this gentleman does not represent the 80s. Maybe the redneck part but there's just a little more to it than that.
the word he needed was 'developed' it was where you went to get photos 'developed'.... It is amazing, is it not, how such common knowledge just disappears?
Boy did this make me feel old for a minute... 😳🤣 But then I realized something... We... Gen X... Have literally watched our world be turned inside out. The generations that have come behind us have assumed this is just "how life is and should be"... All these so called conveniences they have grown up with... Most can't and don't want to imagine what life would be like without them. Not realizing that if we stay on this path, in the future there will be no "good ol days" for them to share with their children. What will they say? "I remember the good ol days when I sat around looking at my phone all day, socializing with people I didn't really know, and would never have physical contact with... Believing that made me popular and well liked."? "I remember when Jonny called Becky fat on tik tok and his video went viral and he was deemed a racists by the majority, which then made life more difficult for him as he grew older and people recognized him and shunned him as a failure, based on a false perception of his past."? Our good ol days actually consist of real relationships, with real people, who actually liked us for who we are and shared similar interests. Trips to the beach with friends, riding our bikes around the lake, going to see movies together, and then out for pizza afterwards. Riding around in a friend's convertible with the top down on a sunny day, with the wind blowing through our hair and the music blaring on the radio. REAL memories, that can only be created by living in a REAL world with REAL people. But WE... We have seen it from the inside out... Where it began, how it was formed, and what it has done to society as a whole. WE... And those who came before us... Have an advantage in that we have the knowledge and skill to undo all that has been done. The only key that we haven't learned to tap into quite yet is the Wisdom of how to get the job done. But it is within us, and we must find the way for the future of ourselves, our children, and our children's children. This is our HOME. The only thing that has truly changed is our perception. Which is what holds us in what many believe is a simulation... Change the perception and the simulation no longer holds any power IN your perception. A simulation is technically just a fantasy created not physically BY others, but by our perception being manipulated by others without our knowledge or consent. 👍

This channel has absolutely made my year thank you so much born in 73 and I’m so sick of the snowflakes love to you both and your whole family keep up the good work
I honestly love these two because I couldn't appreciate the dad without this wonderful son and you know that this son absolutely loves his father oh my God these two are epic I love them
I have vivid memories of everyone of those pages. I can't believe he had the 8 track, that was awesome. I am drawn so much to this channel because I always am on the dad's wavelength.
I raised 5 gen-x-ers, and 8 tracks were from my age. It switched to cassette tapes, when I was a senior in high school. We raised our kids, with more rules than our parents raised us, believe it or not, lol. My dad gave me a .22 rifle when I was 12 years old, I gave my kids pellet guns. At the age that my kids were riding BMX bikes, I had a motorcycle. I watched over my kids, more than my parents watched over me, because the world was already getting worse, but because I had 4 sons and 1 daughter, I let them run around, unsupervised quite a bit, because I felt they could stick up for each other. Actually, just the oldest is a gen x, the rest are millennials, and the truth is, the millennials are different in some ways, but they all have successful careers, and take good care of themselves and their families, so I don't have any complaints.
Your dad is correct about you not learning much about Generation X. All of the technology that you enjoy today are grandchildren of the 8-track and the pager. The file on wheels I think you called it? Is actually known as a roll-a-dex and was used like the contacts app in your smartphone. They basically contain names, phone numbers, addresses, pager numbers, fax numbers, etc……
Didn’t he call the Rolodex a dictionary on wheels? I’ve never laughed so fricn hard in my life as I did thru this whole fricn video!!! Bout the best thing I’ve seen in 40+ years!!
The sarcasm shit's getting so deep I've got to wear waders... LoL. I've got 5 kids and my wife keeping me honest, reminds me a hell of a lot of this guy! Wouldn't mind having a neighbor like this Dad here to have a beer with every once in awhile. My neighbors are snowflake neo-marxists (new agers) unfortunately. This guys kid will grow up into a really sharp decent man one day with fathers like this. The world needs more of it. Respect out to this Father and Son duo! Good shit.

@Bill Shamrock I'm an '88 man myself. A cusper haha! But I agree with you completely! This has become my favorite way to spend time with like minded people. I may not have "lived" it all myself but my dad was a very old fashioned, hard working honorable man. I've learned so much from him and wouldn't take it back for the world. He believed in honor, integrity, strong morals and values and that if you ever get something trying to run you down, you stand steadfast and power onward with everything you have. Family is everything and you care for who you love with strength and wisdom. Thank you Gen X Dad for everything you've brought to the world and everything you've passed on.
Damn, I knew every one of those. Born ‘72. Remember when we had to go to the movies to watch a movie, go to the video/ arcade to play video games that took tokens, and only had one TV and it had rabbit ears? Those were the days. Oh, and we were all BMX bicycle mechanics.
74 here and I remember all that stuff. I remember when we got cable back then and had a whole 15 channels. And the bmx thing is spot on. We rode everywhere back then and didn't have to worry about all these creeps trying to kidnap us.
I didn't know the egg one, is it something American? but it looks like the pavlova cheat some people used to buy instead of making it properly. ('71 Aussie)
I wish I had this tech growing up and it was this easy....I would have asked my parents for some advice every day and recorded just like you man. You don't know it yet but this channel and collection of videos is gonna mean alot more to you than you know.
The fabulous Mr Bill show from Saturday night live, with Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Gilda Radner. I loved the Mr Bill show, and Saturday night live. As for those pull tabs on beer cans, many dangerous journey's for them but mostly ended as chains hanging from my rear view mirror in my 1978 Dodge Lil' Red Express Truck without the catalytic converter! One of the fastest production pick-ups of the day, and I owned one! Oh boy those were the days, just wish I still owned that today my favorite vehicle of all time. 😜👍👍
The 8-track tape made me remember visiting my dad in Missouri back in 1978, listening to Cats in the Cradle, seeing the fire escapes attached to all the brick buildings, visiting the Arch and going to the top. And watching all the fireworks shoot off the boat and reflecting off the Arch, it was Independence day.
The notebook in a metal box.🤣 It's an address book! (That's where we kept people's phone numbers, addresses, and any other info like b-day dates, etc for easy reference.) This particular model could actually be set by a little button on the side to open at a particular letter of the alphabet, so you didn't have to look through so many pages to find what you were looking for.
The 8 track cassette was more 70’s than 80’s and 90’s. My older brother had a 8 track player till Christmas 1986 when he got a cassette player. I had never seen him so happy in his life lol
That was awesome, we had the leggs, Mr Bill, a 8 track, kinda pushing it, should have showed a Walkman. Loved it. Had to think about a couple of them myself it's been so long.
That was brutal. I keep seeing comments from people wanting to have a beer with your dad. I don't drink but I want to have a beer with your dad. Maybe you should start a Patreon so we can "buy dad beer". With a % going to somewhere of dads choice.
Loved the answer and response, "The Highlight of 80s Technology," "Wrong decade!" That cracked me up, however a pager was what allowed me to go from being homeless and jobless after a motorcycle accident. To eventually buying my own home. 😉👍
Don't worry, you weren't missing much with the eight track players and tapes. They broke easy and sometimes you'd be listening to a song and it would Fade Out and you had to wait till it switched to the next track to hear the rest of the song. I had a Foreigners greatest hits, that did that during the song "urgent." However we played my mom's Abba 8-track to death!
Used to use the pull tabs for rubber band guns. Used a clothes pin to hold the rubber band pull tab back. The pull tabs for ammo were everywhere. People pulled them off cans and tossed them on the ground. Then tossed the can on the ground because there wasn’t redemption yet. We littered a lot in the 70’s-80’s. But for kids with nothing to do, finding trash and junk was a fun thing to do.
When we wanted ice-cream, but had no money, we'd just start the treck to the shopping center anyways. We'd pick up and collect all the discarded glass bottles along the way. By the time we got there, each of us had enough money by redeeming the bottles to buy a tripple-scoop ice-cream cone from Thrifty's... 15 cents. Only 5 cents per scoop! The good ol' days.
I remember the peel off beer tabs.... My dad and his buddies would open their beers and drop it in the can lol... Not the empty can they just finished, but the one they were about to drink 😂😂😂🍻
I’m Gumby Damnit !!! And I didn’t miss one !!! But I’m 67 years old and can answer trivia from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s 90s clear up to present time of course the way things are going in the 2020s it’s the end of times!!!
LMAO!!! I love this video with both son & father in it. (Really like the father) who is just plain simple and non tolerant of the stupid's we have here in society! The man simply says it like it is......this guy is your average American working class dude!! I have watched them for a month now on FB and am not able to comment on their videos (Some of us are in FB jail for awhile) - but I love it and I hope they continue with the real communications between a father & son. I know he appears (rough around the edges) but he is doing what a real dad does...tells it like it is - in hope his son learns the right way and walks away with some values!! Keep up the good work you two...love seeing you guys here on You-Tube!! Happy New Year as well!!
I was born in 99 and wish I could've lived through the 80s seems like one of the best decades. Just the right amount of technology, great music, great economy, cocaine, what else
@@joeyclemenza7339 maybe for you mort it sounds like you haven't ever had sex, I'm glad I didn't live your shitty life it was shit then it's shit now and by the sounds of it will always be shit have fun being miserable pfffft
I was born in 1979 so I am on the Gen X/Y cusp so some things I can relate to (Rolodex, the hard case address book with the selector, Motorola pager) but not others (I know the image of the 8 track tape but did not have them growing up; don’t know that cartoon or toy). I think I barely passed (or failed) the Gen X test 🧐
I can totally relate to that. Feels so strange to be so intertwined with such a myriad of drastic change and put in a place where you can clearly watch the fast downfall of moral integrity and strong family and parental traditions.
These videos are great. I bet the old man hands out just as many off-camera hugs as he does on-camera insults. In true Gen-X form, super protective of his family, whom he adores.
I am an X’r born in 1966 and that brought back lots of memories! The dad had the true X’r “tude” and reminds me of all the kids I grew up with. I could picture him jumping Huffy bikes over ramps with us pretending we were Evil Kenievel. I bet he knows who shot JR too…
Side note on the pull tabs from sodas, and beers. You give the pull tab to a girl, or boy you liked. ( Basically they were called fuck tabs) if if you got one of those, or some all green only M&Ms...you were being hit on.
Loved the pictures. Fantastic. Loved this get in your DeLorean beautiful. You make my day. Thank you. Love your answers you are the best. God bless you, General
I watch most of your videos and I love your dad. I’m out I’m modesto, tell your dad if he ever wants to take the Harley’s out and go on a ride lunch and beer is on me. That man is good people.

That's me as a voodoo doll!!! Hilarious.
LOl. Even when he’s completely wrong, his dad telling him it is correct had me rolling.
The look on his face at 2:05 is priceless!!!! GenX4ever!
Genxtalks was a great idea lol
More of those please. This was hilarious.
Yo Gen X Dad has now become number 1 on my "if you could sit and have a beer with person, who would it be"? List. Love these vids
The 8-track tape made me remember visiting my dad in Missouri back in 1978, listening to Cats in the Cradle, seeing the fire escapes attached to all the brick buildings, visiting the Arch and going to the top. And watching all the fireworks shoot off the boat and reflecting off the Arch, it was Independence day.
In my crappy car with a good stereo, driving to Milwaukee to meet a girl...blasting "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac. Wow...yep :-) it was August...
The notebook in a metal box.🤣 It's an address book! (That's where we kept people's phone numbers, addresses, and any other info like b-day dates, etc for easy reference.) This particular model could actually be set by a little button on the side to open at a particular letter of the alphabet, so you didn't have to look through so many pages to find what you were looking for.
I used to have two of them.😎
The 8-trac tape not being important was also hilarious. Of course, I also knew the matchbook trick when it came to those as well. 😂😂😂
The 8 track cassette was more 70’s than 80’s and 90’s. My older brother had a 8 track player till Christmas 1986 when he got a cassette player. I had never seen him so happy in his life lol
I had an 8 track player in my 76 Plymouth Satellite.
But it’s still GenX.
Good God!
Seemed like 86 or seven the CD player came out. They said you could hit it or scratch it and it'd be fine..yeah good times
I had an 8 track player in a 1979 Mercury Grand Marquis. I liked them.
That was awesome, we had the leggs, Mr Bill, a 8 track, kinda pushing it, should have showed a Walkman. Loved it. Had to think about a couple of them myself it's been so long.
I love this dad. Your great.
That was brutal. I keep seeing comments from people wanting to have a beer with your dad. I don't drink but I want to have a beer with your dad. Maybe you should start a Patreon so we can "buy dad beer". With a % going to somewhere of dads choice.
Yes!
Dad's a big whiskey fan, just sayin.. Doesn't mean that he doesn't enjoy his beer either, but I do know that he has a whiskey fund.. ✌🏻😎
We probably drank with him in a cornfield or in the woods, but didn't even know it.
Oh I needed a good laugh thank you guys
You both make my day ❣️🤣🤣🤣
This dad is a legend, keep up the good work.
I love the music your dad listens to!
Keep em comin!
Hysterical this guy My daughter sees me this miserable too. Must off been the loss of cartoons on Saturday morning
Loved the answer and response, "The Highlight of 80s Technology," "Wrong decade!" That cracked me up, however a pager was what allowed me to go from being homeless and jobless after a motorcycle accident. To eventually buying my own home. 😉👍
Oh no Mr bill my photos aren't ready yet
This is hysterical in a sad way. Knowing the simplicity of what life was like and how good it was. Unfortunately, they wouldn't know how to survive.
Don't worry, you weren't missing much with the eight track players and tapes. They broke easy and sometimes you'd be listening to a song and it would Fade Out and you had to wait till it switched to the next track to hear the rest of the song. I had a Foreigners greatest hits, that did that during the song "urgent." However we played my mom's Abba 8-track to death!
ME TOO -LOVED FOREIGNER!
Soooooo have to try this with my stepson!!! 😂 Your dad is golden.
Jesus I grew up in the 90s and still missed some lmao
🤣🤣🤣 “ go tell your mother you failed” he was so convinced that he had it then at the end he’s like “ wait what? “ 🤣
😂🤣
Used to use the pull tabs for rubber band guns. Used a clothes pin to hold the rubber band pull tab back. The pull tabs for ammo were everywhere. People pulled them off cans and tossed them on the ground. Then tossed the can on the ground because there wasn’t redemption yet. We littered a lot in the 70’s-80’s. But for kids with nothing to do, finding trash and junk was a fun thing to do.
When we wanted ice-cream, but had no money, we'd just start the treck to the shopping center anyways. We'd pick up and collect all the discarded glass bottles along the way. By the time we got there, each of us had enough money by redeeming the bottles to buy a tripple-scoop ice-cream cone from Thrifty's... 15 cents. Only 5 cents per scoop! The good ol' days.
We did litter a lot back then. Made that Indian cry!
The crying Indian thanked you.
@@ananda_miaoyin Damn, just saw you beat me to the punch, outstanding!
@@chizorama Ha. total age check on that one!
Goddamn now I love your dad even more. He brought up so many historical crap from our 80's and 90's. He is the GOAT
Oh no Mr bill!!!!!!!
I loved that show.
Actual photos instead of a tablet or phone. This man is awesome. If we ever meet I am going to buy him a couple of beers.
Make sure to save the ring pulls...
I remember the peel off beer tabs.... My dad and his buddies would open their beers and drop it in the can lol... Not the empty can they just finished, but the one they were about to drink 😂😂😂🍻
door curtain macrame made from them
I’m Gumby Damnit !!! And I didn’t miss one !!! But I’m 67 years old and can answer trivia from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s 90s clear up to present time of course the way things are going in the 2020s it’s the end of times!!!
This man is an icon.
And this is why you are the coolest human being to ever walk on the face of the Earth. Your Honesty. Live forever Gen x Messiah!
This is the absolute hands down BEAST channel on YT.
Your dad is a superstar in my opinion
LMAO!!! I love this video with both son & father in it. (Really like the father) who is just plain simple and non tolerant of the stupid's we have here in society! The man simply says it like it is......this guy is your average American working class dude!! I have watched them for a month now on FB and am not able to comment on their videos (Some of us are in FB jail for awhile) - but I love it and I hope they continue with the real communications between a father & son. I know he appears (rough around the edges) but he is doing what a real dad does...tells it like it is - in hope his son learns the right way and walks away with some values!! Keep up the good work you two...love seeing you guys here on You-Tube!! Happy New Year as well!!
Am I Gen X enough? Well, back in the 1980's I hated Yuppies,now I hate Millennials, and Gen Z.
Love this!! What is so bad, is that I am feeling SO old!! So many good things…..gone!
Oh my God I'm dying laughing!!! 😆 🤣 😂
i love how there's always a crazy throwback 80's song playing in the background
When you have never been in the 80s even his sarcasm seems the gospel truth.
He wasn't just dead-wrong, he was literally caught making shit up on every answer. 😂
I was born in 99 and wish I could've lived through the 80s seems like one of the best decades. Just the right amount of technology, great music, great economy, cocaine, what else
@@joeyclemenza7339 maybe for you mort it sounds like you haven't ever had sex, I'm glad I didn't live your shitty life it was shit then it's shit now and by the sounds of it will always be shit have fun being miserable pfffft
@@joeyclemenza7339 FALSE!!!j
@@joeyclemenza7339 maybe in the USA in Denmark we just had fun... ohh and laughing in gouverment was at a all time high :P
Miami Vice! Hair Bands. Guys were hot and the women were smokin’! Definitely one of the great decades.
I’m order to appreciate how great the 80s were you would have had to experience the 70s. A magical time for sure.
I am actually impressed that he knew the answers. Very good.
#4. Is an 8 track tape. The 'hight of 80's technology' black device is a pager.
8 tracks are from the 70’s. We had cassettes and cds in the 80’s. GO TELL YOUR MOTHER YOU FAILED
😆That was hilarious! Especially the pull tab & photo mat! Good job.
He said they dry your photos there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is MY REACTION EVERY FREAKIN DAY!
LOVE THIS GUY!😂
That's fucking classic. I just so happened to get them all. 1982 here
Your dad is amazing!
Keep him healthy!
I was born in 1979 so I am on the Gen X/Y cusp so some things I can relate to (Rolodex, the hard case address book with the selector, Motorola pager) but not others (I know the image of the 8 track tape but did not have them growing up; don’t know that cartoon or toy). I think I barely passed (or failed) the Gen X test 🧐
Same.
Hilarious! Comedy gold. This dad rocks!
This can go on for years,lol
That was hilarious! I saw a video of kids trying to figure out a rotary phone. I almost pissed myself laughing!
….I’m a 90’s kid, is it bad that I knew all but 3 of those? I’ve always felt like a mutant cross between 3 generations
Yup totally agree 🤣
I'm kinda like that myself
Same
You're not a mutant. It just means you were exposed to a variety things which is a good thing.
I can totally relate to that. Feels so strange to be so intertwined with such a myriad of drastic change and put in a place where you can clearly watch the fast downfall of moral integrity and strong family and parental traditions.
this boy has been very well trained. properly educated. Well done to the parents.
It's not about the quantity of time with your dad it's about the educational quality of that time 😂😂🤣
Thay was the best. I love how you and your son banter. My friend You have a great family . brings back so many memories. 😆
I’m a boomer, but my son is Gen X & he’s got way more sense than ANY of these woke fools walking around today.
These videos are great. I bet the old man hands out just as many off-camera hugs as he does on-camera insults. In true Gen-X form, super protective of his family, whom he adores.
You Failed. But good effort but no trophy.
The kid should get a participation trophy
I am an X’r born in 1966 and that brought back lots of memories! The dad had the true X’r “tude” and reminds me of all the kids I grew up with. I could picture him jumping Huffy bikes over ramps with us pretending we were Evil Kenievel. I bet he knows who shot JR too…
Side note on the pull tabs from sodas, and beers. You give the pull tab to a girl, or boy you liked. ( Basically they were called fuck tabs) if if you got one of those, or some all green only M&Ms...you were being hit on.
Yes. 🤦
I like you.
Do you like me?
🔲 Yes
Or
🔲 No
😂 😂
Every time I watch these clips I miss the 80's and 90's even more 😢
Thank you for that nostalgic blast from the past.
Loved the pictures. Fantastic. Loved this get in your DeLorean beautiful. You make my day. Thank you. Love your answers you are the best. God bless you, General
"school lunch but worse"? I loved those Banquets. -C
lol, too funny. " they dry your photo there" gotta love it
I watch most of your videos and I love your dad. I’m out I’m modesto, tell your dad if he ever wants to take the Harley’s out and go on a ride lunch and beer is on me. That man is good people.
I miss the 80's, when you had a pocket full of dimes, you knew where the pay phones were and every phone number memorized by heart. Plus MTV played music videos.
They DRY your photos there...! I love that!!!!!😂😂😂
