Cody Perez is the lead singer of the band Amerakin Overdose, and he has also dipped his toes in the water of podcasting. He joined Tony Mazur on the Check Your Brain podcast to talk about a shared enjoyment of theirs, which is nu metal, the genre of hard rock with some metal and rap styles that was popular around the Y2K days. Cody also talked about how musicians like himself have embraced AI, rather than run away from it.

Check out Amerakin Overdose's new single "Nothing (Without You)", featuring Jonny Santos, formerly of Spineshank.

The football season is nearing its climax, while others are glued to cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. Either way, one is inundated with commercials featuring a white guy being awkward, stupid, corrupt, or downright evil.

Tony Mazur covers many recent examples on this week's Check Your Brain podcast.

Lisa De Pasquale is an author and commentator, and a proud member of Generation X. In fact so proud, she wrote a handbook for the generation that now bonds middle age with senior citizens. She joined Tony Mazur's Check Your Brain podcast to talk about not only Gen X, but the differences between the six generations walking the earth (but mainly the core four). They also got into the "Boomer Question," the populist and nationalist takeover of the Young Republicans, and the "right" way to lose weight.

Lisa's Gen X Handbook is available now on Amazon and wherever books are sold. https://a.co/d/7xP6Nm2
