The Joey Acker Experiment
What UP! [Podcast Listener],I’m Joe Acker, and a 54 years old GenX dad, I’ve learned to speak my mind directly. This podcast will cover a wide range of topics from just about anything and everything, I would like getting input from you, the listener, to see where this experiment goes. Just a heads-up, Sugar coating or holding back my opinions is a no go in my book and vocabulary. This might not be suitable for young children, but ultimately, what they listen to isn’t my responsibility sorry not sorry. So, if you’re ready for some unfiltered podcast action, then hop on board the Joey Acker Train and let’s see where this podcast goes? Probably off the rails but what a ride! So if you are looking for something a little different you may have just found it!

What Makes a GenX Man Happy?A nap he didn’t plan, a phone that isn’t ringing, and a TV show that doesn’t ask, “Are you still watching?” He’s not into drama unless it's on Columbo or his neighbor trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions.
Cilantro Sucks!Let’s be honest—cilantro tastes like someone rinsed their gym socks in a dirty sink and sprinkled it on your taco like it was a favor. If you like cilantro, great! You can have ours. All of it. Forever.
We’re Saving the Planet… Yeah, Right!Sure, we’re totally eco-warriors—armed with reusable shopping bags filled with single-use plastic. We drive hybrids… to the drive-thru. And hey, we’re saving the Earth one sarcastic tweet at a time. You're welcome, Mother Nature.

Married Gen X men? Yeah, they’re not exactly lining up for the “young hot girl” trend. They’re just hoping to find someone who can make a decent pot roast and knows how to use a real map instead of relying on their phone for every little thing. And fart cars? Those things used to scream “I’m the life of the party,” now they just scream “I’m an unpaid intern at a mechanic shop.” Getting old? Sure, it’s got its perks — like losing the ability to remember what you walked into a room for and discovering new ways to hurt yourself just by sitting. But honestly, being young today is like living in a constant episode of Black Mirror — overpriced everything, TikTok challenges that could get you arrested, and your personal life being a public spectacle. So yeah, getting old’s a drag, but at least you don’t have to pretend you’re “fluent” in memes just to fit in.
