This week on the Generation GapCast, we put nostalgia to the test. Literally.

As GCSE exam mock season hits, Yoni challenges his dad to sit 'basic' foundation exam questions in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Maths… live, with no Googling and no mercy!

From bacterial cells to bus-stop division, with self-heating tea mugs and thermal conductivity, the episode turns into a hilarious and surprisingly thoughtful look at how exams, education standards, and “useful knowledge” have (or haven’t) changed across generations.

Are today’s exams easier, harder, or just different?

How much of what we learned at school actually sticks?

Expect laughs, mild panic, parental pride, and a healthy dose of generational perspective.

In this episode of The Generation Gapcast Rick and Yoni sit down with clinical psychologist Danielle to unpack one of the biggest modern parenting dilemmas: social media.

From doomscrolling and viral hoaxes to comparison culture, peer pressure, and screen-time boundaries, the trio explore how social media really affects young people’s mental health, and when it doesn’t.

With plenty of laughs, real-life examples, and practical advice for both parents and teens, this episode cuts through the panic headlines to focus on balance, communication, and understanding life on (and off) the screen.

New year, fresh promises, and absolutely no intention of keeping them.

In the first Generation GapCast episode of the year, Rick and Yoni tackle New Year’s resolutions through two very different generational lenses. From Christmas mishaps and Secret Santa confusion (yes, including unwanted vegan chocolate) to whether anyone actually sticks to their goals past January, the pair unpack health, fitness, mental wellbeing, money, exams, and the pressure to “have it all figured out”.

Along the way, the conversation detours through Christmas chaos,, modern gym culture, AI in schools, and a surprisingly passionate breakdown of ABBA Voyage the high-tech “concert” experience that’s part spectacle, part cinema, and part existential crisis.

Warm, witty, and gloriously off-track, this episode captures the strange in-between feeling of early January, where motivation is high, energy is low, and everyone is quietly rethinking their goals.

Expect honest takes, playful arguments, cultural quirks, tech talk, and plenty of laughs, plus a reminder that whether you’re 16 or significantly not, New Year’s resolutions might just be the biggest tradition we all pretend works.
