Surviving the 90s: Could Today's Generation Handle It? - Ep. 6

Puff and Drinks

Remember when government cheese was a household staple? When kids rode bikes without helmets and dogs drank pot liquor instead of visiting pet urgent care? The Puffin Drink boys take you on a riotous journey through time as they tackle the burning question: Could today's generation survive if transported back to the 1990s?
Rodney Q Love, Byron B, Jimmy Jefferson, and Dennis Cotton serve up straight talk alongside their cigars and spirits, dissecting the vast cultural canyon between then and now. Their conversation weaves through fashion evolution (from baggy JNCO jeans to today's skinny cuts), music transformation (when artists needed actual talent), and economic realities (when a high school graduate could make $100K at an auto plant).
The hosts don't just play the "back in my day" card – they offer genuinely thoughtful perspectives on how each generation adapts to its unique challenges. From their lived experience growing up with limited resources to their observations about today's convenience-oriented youth, their insights are both hilarious and profound. One host even claims to have "invented" sagging pants out of necessity, as his father only bought pants once per school year!
Between nostalgic reflections and good-natured ribbing, the crew shares expert tips on proper cigar lighting (cedar sticks for the win) and introduces Dennis Cotton as their resident wine and coffee connoisseur. They also announce upcoming guests – The Pink Ladies Cigar Society from Ohio – showcasing their commitment to exploring diverse perspectives within the lifestyle community.
Whether you're a Gen X veteran who remembers CDs and payphones or a curious younger listener wondering if you could hack it without Uber and smartphone navigation, this episode delivers authentic conversation that bridges generational divides.
