Talk Thirty To Me

Join Turg and Randy as they take on the third of four episodes discussing how the Millennial generation is viewed by society, in specific... As a generation Millennials are straight up selfish beings. Randy thinks Millennials are just straight up flakes and why flaking is a sign of Millennial selfishness.. Turg thinks that Millennial flakiness is not just an expectation, it's a part of Millennial behaviors. Do other Millennials expect this behavior from their fellow Millennial friends?  The guys discuss the latest blog post - Dating in Your 30s: Why You Should Date "More than One" to Find "The One" - and how it really captures the Millennial spirit in that it defines the shift away from more of a settling mentality to more of an individual awareness. So, the guys discuss how selfish might actually not be a bad thing as now the individual spirit is more important than the professional spirit. When it comes to companies investing in their people, Turg and Randy think this symbolizes the downfall of the "compan

This week, Turg and Randy take on the second of a four episode series discussing the perceptions surrounding the Millennial generation, in specific... As a generation are we lazy, or do we just get a bad rap? Turg doesn't feel like doing this episode. Randy explains why he used to show up to job interviews in his workout clothes. Turg and Randy discuss why our inability to find stable employment may be perceived initiative. Initiative takes different forms, but the reality is undermined by the perception. The job market has been officially wrecked by the power of the Internet. Why Turg quitting his job, cold-turkey, could have been perceived as lazy or unmotivated. Do Millennials lack the proper characteristics of previously successful generations? Millennials might actually be their own worst enemy when it comes to getting "unstuck" in life. Do Millennials lack the confidence to help them break out from the spiral of laziness? Are Millennials setting themselves up for failure by setting expectations that a

Turg and Randy begin their journey with the first of a series discussing the pitfalls of the generation known as the Millennial generation, in specific... Millennials and their sense of entitlement. Is it a warranted perception? The guys plan to use this very pronounced theme of perception versus reality throughout the next few weeks as they discuss topics that involve the key societal characteristics of the Millennial generation as society dictates. Self-esteem plays a major role in the Millennial struggle. Society often paints Millennials as overconfident or arrogant in many ways. Randy discusses how he took classes as a kid to help reinforce his self-esteem. Additionally, Turg and Randy speak to perception as a reality because of how society reinforces these seemingly negative identities. Why Turg was straight up told he was too arrogant during a job interview. Randy touches on how being the jack of all trades is often times seen as a negative. Randy reveals that he was terrified of the self-esteem puppet

Hey now! Turg and Randy Z are back and in business with a new episode to end a series of listener questions surrounding relationships and what to do when you become the master of your own demise.

Why Randy forgets his flight was cancelled. Randy watches Get Out and shares his thoughts. The guys discuss zombies. Turg hates the Randy “wow” remark and cracks the “wow” code.

This week, Turg and Randy discuss the new album The Chief by Jidenna and using the themes surrounding this powerful freshman release, including… pursuing relationships post-breakup, getting invited to the ex’s wedding. Why a relationship in retrospect brings a lot of unnecessary anxiety into the fray. How the 20s relationship mentality will only set you up for failure in your 30s, prioritizing relationship goals and career goals – which comes first and can we live with the decisions we make. Maybe we always look to the past for sorrow, when do you take the next step in discussing your future with your significant other, day dream relationship standing versus actual relationship standing, how society dictates the way we interpret our roles and expectations in a relationship, holding on - readjusting in a relationship to just make it work. The guys also debate how sabotaging relationships to by neglecting the basic needs of a relationship to survive is a reality in most of our lives. The mentality behind how

Join your world-renown Man Bun teasers, Turg & Randy Z, as they explore the very depths of their souls in order to painfully mine the memories of the past needed to help develop this show and... the guys talk bachelor parties and Turg's San Diegan exploits with his college buddies, how grooming your genitals in your 30s is an absolute must, why experiences are different now in your thirties, how finances unlock the purest form of male debauchery, why Randy can't seem fathom drunken urination, where Randy disagrees with Turgs male bonding hygienic standards, how comparing experiences from our 20s to our 30s just poses things in a disturbing light, why rocking out with your balls out is a reality in your 30s.

Join your "hosts with the mosts" Turg & Randy Z as they get rather testy talking about a certain part of the male anatomy that just gets all the juices flowing... This week a listener question has risen and the guys answer probably THE most controversial question about the male member: "How difficult is it for a man to tell his father that his baby son will not get circumcised because we are in a free country and the times have changed? Should baby boys continue to be circumcised in the 21st century? How does having matching penises make a man more manly and a better father?" Come along this magic carpet ride with us as we discuss... Why circumcision follows a path alongside family tradition, how age factors into the decisions you make for your children, why fathers might not say why but might intend on maintaining the tradition, why retrospect cannot necessarily shed light on the decisions that were made with our sons, if pain factors in to the early developmental portion of a child's mind, what the gene

Join Randy Z & Turg as they conclude their conversation with Leslie Antonoff while they discuss how a lot of what they discuss hits home for most listeners, and yet most are too reserved to share openly; work, life, and parenting.
