Summer Rerun: What Halloween Was Really Like for Gen-X Kids? (Originally aired October 28, 2024)

We’re deep in the July heat, but Bunny and Scot are spinning the Pumpkin Wheel of Majesty one more time for a mid-summer spookfest! This underrated Halloween special is packed with ghoulish giggles, mortuary school misadventures, and the eternal debate: candy corn or chocolate?

From childhood Halloweens and creepy confessions to the weirdest trick-or-treat handouts ever (yes, someone really gave out pennies), this one’s worth dusting off—even in flip-flop season.

Grab a popsicle, crank the AC, and enjoy a little haunted hilarity from the vault!

As we embark on the next 100 episodes, Scot and Bunny stick with the theme of AI and invite a synthetic guest on board: Rain - a chatgpt Gen-Xer to share and answer questions alongside us. We discuss the idea of AI accuracy as well as answer more random queries from Mega-Wheel.

In this "Very Special Episode" - The 100th episode of The Gen Existentialists - Scot and Bunny discuss Gen X pop culture, specifically reacting to 50 AI-generated questions about iconic 80s television shows like Knight Rider, Miami Vice, and The A-Team. The duo shares their personal takes on classic sitcoms and cartoons, debating everything from character choices to cultural impact.

We also delve into the origin of the show and where we may go in the future.

We made it to 100 baby!
