This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery.

Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions.

The 1980s were a time of bold fashion statements, and few items of clothing captured the decade’s essence like the Izod polo shirt. Known for its distinctive crocodile logo and preppy vibe, the shirt was more than just a piece of clothing—it was a symbol of status and style. The story begins with René Lacoste, a French tennis legend nicknamed "Le Crocodile" for his fierce playing style. In 1933, Lacoste revolutionized tennis attire by designing a short-sleeved, piqué knit polo shirt adorned with a crocodile emblem, marking the first instance of a brand logo prominently displayed on the outside of a garment. In the 1950s, Vincent dePaul Draddy, an executive at David Crystal, Inc., encountered Jack Izod’s tailoring boutique in London and acquired the rights to the Izod name. Draddy later partnered with Lacoste to create the Izod Lacoste brand, bringing the stylish polos to the American market. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, these shirts had become a staple of the preppy fashion movement, immortalized in The Official Preppy Handbook.
The shirts were available in a wide array of pastel colors, and wearing two layered polos with popped collars became a hallmark of ‘80s youth culture. As teens clamored for these shirts, department stores struggled to keep up with demand. A single Izod shirt cost about $25 at the time, roughly $75 in today’s dollars, making it a coveted item for those aspiring to a polished, affluent image. “The crocodile logo was a status symbol,” says fashion historian Emily Rhodes. “It wasn’t just a shirt; it was a declaration of belonging to a certain lifestyle.” Izod polos made frequent appearances in pop culture, from movies like Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off to music videos that celebrated the preppy aesthetic. The shirts became synonymous with suburban affluence, and many teens embraced them as part of their identity. “I remember saving up my allowance for weeks to buy my first Izod shirt,” recalls Tom, a Gen Xer from Chicago. “Wearing it to school felt like a rite of passage—it was like saying, ‘I’ve made it.’” Although the Izod-Lacoste partnership ended in 1993, both brands continued separately, with Izod maintaining its classic American style and Lacoste focusing on an upscale image. Today, the legacy of Izod polos remains a nostalgic touchstone for Gen Xers who remember the days of pastel colors, popped collars, and the simple joy of sporting that iconic crocodile. #Izod #80sFashion #GenXStyle #RetroVibes #PreppyLife #CrocodileShirt #FashionHistory

Michael Jackson’s "Billie Jean," a song that transcends generations. “It’s so much more than just a catchy tune,” the host notes. Released during the peak of Jackson’s fame, "Billie Jean" came at a time when the King of Pop was both riding high on the success of his *Thriller* album and battling the pressures of public scrutiny, including high-profile paternity lawsuits. “You can practically hear those courtroom whispers woven into the lyrics,” the host continues. “When he sings, ‘the kid is not my son,’ it’s raw. Almost desperate. You can feel the pressure he was under.” The podcast explores how Jackson never directly confirmed if the song was about a specific person, but listeners are left to interpret its deeper themes of doubt, denial, and the overwhelming weight of fame. The discussion also touches on the musical magic that made "Billie Jean" unforgettable. The collaboration between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones is highlighted as a meeting of creative minds, combining Jackson’s pure musical instinct with Jones’ masterful production techniques. “Then you’ve got that bassline,” the host adds, praising Louis Johnson’s work. “It’s instantly recognizable, almost hypnotic. It’s a masterclass in restraint—simple, yet it anchors the whole song.” The episode reminds listeners of the groundbreaking impact of "Billie Jean," not just musically but visually, with the iconic music video and Jackson’s famous moonwalk debut. Switching gears, the podcast takes a humorous yet insightful look at Aquanet, the hairspray that became a staple of 80s big hair culture. “Picture that blue and pink can—everyone had one!” the host jokes. But Aquanet’s story goes beyond styling hair; the podcast reveals its surprising role in history, from the Civil Rights movement to NASA space shuttle missions. “Did you know astronauts used Aquanet in space?” the host asks, explaining how the hairspray was used to control flyaway hair in zero gravity. The episode even delves into rumors of Aquanet’s use in Cold War espionage, where the spray allegedly played a role in concealing secret messages. Beyond its practical uses, Aquanet also found its way into the art world as a fixative for charcoal and pastel drawings. “Artists used it for decades,” the host explains, adding yet another layer to the legacy of this seemingly simple product. With humor and depth, the Gen X Time Machine podcast offers more than just a trip down memory lane—it uncovers the cultural and historical significance behind the everyday objects and music that defined a generation. The episode wraps with a call for listeners to subscribe and continue the journey, teasing more deep dives into the trends and moments that shaped Gen X. “Your ride isn’t over yet,” the host says, reminding fans that more iconic moments are waiting in the podcast’s feed.

It’s hard to overstate the impact of the Sony Walkman, a pocket-sized cassette player that turned music into a personal experience for millions. Introduced in 1979, the Walkman wasn’t an instant hit, but by the early 1980s, it had become synonymous with freedom, individuality, and the soundtrack of GenX life. “I remember getting my first Walkman as a teenager,” recalls one listener of GenX Time Machine. “I’d pop in a Duran Duran tape, crank up the volume, and it felt like my own little world. It was liberating.” Before the Walkman, music was communal. Family members argued over radio stations or fought for control of the household boombox. Sony’s sleek, portable device changed that dynamic, offering a private escape through two foam-covered headphones. The Walkman’s origins were modest. Sony co-founder Akio Morita wanted a portable way to enjoy opera during long flights. Engineers, led by Nobutoshi Kihara, transformed a bulky journalist recorder into the compact TPS-L2. When it launched, critics questioned its viability—a cassette player that couldn’t even record seemed absurd. However, Sony’s savvy marketing, showing carefree teens skating and cycling, soon made the Walkman a must-have accessory. Fitness enthusiasts quickly adopted the Walkman, drawn by its portability and ability to enhance workouts with a personal soundtrack. Its impact on fitness culture laid the groundwork for today’s tech-laden fitness accessories. Even U.S. soldiers carried Walkmans during the Gulf War, finding solace in music or recorded messages from loved ones. “I was stationed overseas, and my Walkman was my lifeline,” shared another guest. “Hearing my favorite songs or my mom’s voice on a tape? It kept me going.” Yet, this cultural phenomenon came with drawbacks. GenXers, enthralled by the ability to block out the world, often blasted music at dangerously high volumes. Decades later, many face noise-induced hearing loss. “We didn’t think about hearing damage back then,” explains a guest expert. “We just cranked it up to drown out everything else.” Sony continued innovating with features like FM radio and waterproof designs. Still, the Walkman wasn’t without flaws. The cassette tape’s fragility frustrated users, while later attempts to compete with digital players, such as the Discman and MP3 Walkman, struggled against Apple’s iPod. Despite its decline, the Walkman remains a nostalgic emblem for many. “There was something magical about making mixtapes,” says the host. “It was a labor of love, from recording songs off the radio to fixing tangled cassettes with a pencil. Those little rituals defined a generation.” Even in today’s streaming-dominated era, the Walkman’s influence lingers. It taught us to curate personal soundtracks, shaped the way we experience music, and symbolized the intersection of technology and self-expression. Sony’s groundbreaking invention not only redefined how we listened to music but also who we were while listening. For GenXers, the Walkman was more than just a gadget—it was freedom, individuality, and an unforgettable slice of life. #Walkman #GenXMemories #SonyInnovation #MusicFreedom #PortableRevolution #80sNostalgia #CulturalImpact…
