  • EXPLAINING GEN ALPHA SLANG… ARE WE THE NEW UNCS? Ep 47
    Dec 3 2025

    Are we officially the new uncs?

    In this episode, the boys dive into that weird feeling of growing older and watching the things we grew up with turn into “throwback” aesthetics for Gen Alpha. We unpack what it’s like seeing kids raised during COVID and the iPad era, how technology is shaping their behaviour, and whether we’re just becoming out of touch… or finally self-aware.

    We also break down the Bad Bunny Super Bowl controversy and try to understand why so many Americans are heated about the idea of him performing.To wrap it up, we look back at everything 2025 has thrown at us so far — from culture to music to big life shifts.

    Tune in for jokes, perspective, and a whole lot of “wow… we’re really getting old.”
