Gen Whine

After an unexpected break thanks to family emergencies, travel, graduations, and life generally choosing violence, Tara and Tyler are finally back.This episode is one giant catch-up session as they talk about Tara's mom's broken ankle, Tyler's grandpa's fall, Tyler returning to his old job, and yet another rebrand (because apparently leaving Tyler unsupervised is still a bad idea).They also share updates on Nikki's graduation, Tyler's upcoming trip to Maryland, plans for their first-ever in-person meeting, reality TV assignments, true crime recommendations, Schitt's Creek obsessions, books they're reading, and all the content chaos coming this summer.Basically: life was lifing, but Gen Whine isn't going anywhere.Grab a drink and catch up with your favorite Gen X wine auntie and Gen Z wine nephew.In this episode:Family chaos and recovery updatesTyler's return to the nursing homeThe Oak & Ember rebrandNikki's graduation and college plansPlanning Tyler's Maryland visitReality TV vs. true crime recommendationsSchitt's Creek discussionsBooks, podcasts, and current obsessionsFuture merch, guests, and podcast plansFollow us because apparently we can't stop creating new projects.

We clearly have a problem… and it involves watching too many shows, reading too many books, and somehow still finding more to add to the list.This week, we’re swapping what we’re watching (and forcing each other to watch), including Schitt’s Creek, messy reality TV, cult documentaries, and movies that had us yelling at the screen.We also get into:• assigning ourselves Schitt’s Creek characters (yes, Tyler is David)• the ever-growing watch list we may never finish• book chaos — because apparently one book at a time is not an option• and planning Tyler’s summer visit, which includes wineries, concerts, and possibly convincing him to move to Frederick Basically… we have zero free time and no intention of fixing that. Listen and tell us what we should add to our already out-of-control list.

We were supposed to record this episode weeks ago… and then life said absolutely not.So this is your official Gen Whine catch-up episode — chaotic, unfiltered, and very on brand.This week we’re talking about:• the shows we’re forcing each other to watch (and why we wait forever to start them)• Tyler’s fashion show experience featuring upcycled looks… including trash bags and bingo cards• a new bar discovery that might actually pass the Gen X test• and the accidental creation of “Lazy Girl Wine Pairings” (yes, Girl Scout cookies and Pinot Grigio are involved)Life has been life-ing, but we’re still here — and apparently chaos is the brand.Got a snack you want Tara to pair with wine?

Season Three is officially underway, and somehow… we left each other alone again.In this kickoff episode, Tara and Tyler catch up on life lately—the skincare routine Tyler’s working on, cruise prep via TikTok Shop, and the kind of pop culture conversations that start with the Grammys and spiral into cultural commentary real fast.We talk representation in music, the role TV shows play in shaping culture, and why joy, laughter, and not taking everything so seriously feels essential right now.No agenda. No polish. Just Gen X and Gen Z doing what we do best—talking it out.Welcome to Season 3. Press play.Follow Us Here: https://beacons.ai/genwhinepod

Before we even hit record, things were already off the rails.Tyler was breaking in a brand-new microphone, Tara’s chair randomly decided to lower itself, and the only solution was balancing a mic on three books so people could actually hear her. So yes — this episode starts with chaos before the episode even starts.From there, we spiral (as usual).In this episode, we get into:Tyler accidentally setting a grandfather clock to chime every 15 minutes for eight straight daysThe mutual realization that neither of us should ever be trusted to mow a lawnTara recommending Dash & Lily and Tyler binge-watching the entire series in one nightWhy Wine Country still holds up — and whether we should plan our own versionTyler recommending books Tara finishes in two days (and why he now needs a new strategy)We also take a moment to welcome home actual Uncle Dave, who just returned after two years of service in Qatar, explain why Tara has been confusing him with Uncle Dustin (who will be joining us for the first episode of Season 3), and tease future guest appearances — including our Canva-obsessed friend Kat.Oh, and there’s a red notebook involved. If you know, you know.Season 2 is officially in the bag.No instructions. No lawn skills. Just vibes. 🍷🎙️Follow us here https://beacons.ai/genwhinepod

This episode of Gen Whine: Gen Z Meets Gen X is what happens when holiday pop culture, wine, and zero structure collide.We get into the Mariah Carey 2025 Christmas special—which Tara tried to find but absolutely refused to subscribe for, Maureen fully listened to and then found visuals of the costumes to share with the class, and Tyler came prepared with all the tea ....From there, Tyler sends Tara down the rabbit hole of The Mistletones, resulting in immediate attitude and the realization that it’s basically a holiday version of Mean Girls.Things spiral (as they do) when Maureen Chaves Sanchez shares the story of her husband attending wine camp—and why she tracked him. Lightly. Casually. For love.Add in a speed-read book report, a wildly productive day, a cookie exchange recap, Tara’s Christmas gift from her boss, and a Gen Whine hoodie cameo—and you’ve got peak holiday chaos.No radio voice. No subscriptions. Just vibes.

Tyler. Started. Another. Business.This is why Tara can’t leave him alone.This week on Gen Whine, we dive into: Tyler’s latest unsupervised venture A TikTok comment calling podcasts with AI “lazy” (Gen X vs Gen Z showdown ensues) Uncle Dustin announcing he wants to be a Season 3 guest Next week’s guest — our girl Maureen!

This week on Gen Whine: Gen Z Meets Gen X, we bring you an instant holiday classic: chaotic energy, questionable caffeine choices, and the official birth of The Legend of Uncle Dave.We attempted to start recording on time… but Tara’s wires were tangled like Christmas lights from the 90s, both hosts grabbed caffeine they absolutely didn’t need, and the spiral took off QUICK.Inside this episode: Holiday chaos and why Tara now has Christmas movie homework Caffeine delusion featuring Celsius vs. coffee (because clearly we needed MORE energy) Empty-stomach shopping and the crimes committed in Aisle 7 Tyler starting a whole new business when left alone for 30 seconds The shocking moment we realize Tara has been calling our sponsor the wrong name… for weeks And of course… The Legend of Uncle Dave (aka Uncle Dustin )If you love: Unfiltered podcast banter Relatable Gen Z vs. Gen X comedy Holiday spirals Pop culture, caffeine chaos & sponsor name crimes…then grab a glass and press play.

Our first guest has arrived — and she brought the heat! This week, we’re joined by Nuhkishaa Smith from Philadelphia to chat about the A Perfect Neighbor documentary, debate the real start of Christmas season (yes, Mariah’s involved), and sprinkle in a little football talk for good measure.Tyler’s rocking our Gen Whine merch, Tara’s defending her anti-premature-Christmas stance, and Nuhkishaa’s shouting out her delicious small business — Fruity Pepper, the spice blend your kitchen didn’t know it needed. Pour a glass, press play, and join the chaos — it’s the most wonderfully unhinged time of the year. #GenWhinePodcast #Season2 #PodcastGuests #WineTime #SmallBusinessLove

Season 2 is officially uncorked! Tara’s back from her meeting shenanigans (complete with questionable name choices, aggressive chiming, and some cool swag), while Tyler’s out here thriving — first place in his Style Icon group, group 7 on Tik Tok (listen because Tara was confused too..) and rocking a new job. Somehow, we still manage to spiral into true crime territory with Monsters: Ed Gein before calming down with Suits — because balance, right?Same wine, more whine, and the chaos you know and love. #GenWhinePodcast #Season2 #WineTimeLD Shirts- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582579377793&sk=photosStyle Icon- https://styleicon.org/2025/tyler-hill

Season 1 is officially a wrap, and somehow we made it out alive (barely). Tyler’s thriving, Tara’s back isn’t, and Vino (the chatbot) somehow became part of the crew. From new jobs and smut reads to Suits marathons and a random chat with the public defender’s office (don’t worry, no crimes were committed … this time), it’s pure Gen Whine energy.We finish with a “Who’s Most Likely To…” round that proves one thing: Gen Z and Gen X are the same kind of chaos—just with different playlists. Season 1 Finale: “We’re More Alike (and More Unhinged) Than We Thought” — streaming now!Pour a glass & celebrate our mess. #GenWhinePodcast #GenZMeetsGenX #PodcastHumor #WineAndWhine #SeasonFinale

New jobs, COVID brain, and a son who asked to be “glazed” (don’t ask). In this episode, Tara and Tyler dive into the chaos of fair food, people-watching, and the kind of small-town festivals that make you question everything—yes, mule festivals are real. It’s Glazed & Confused, Gen Whine style: odd jobs, odd fairs, and even odder requests.

Tyler’s got a new job, a redecorated bedroom (yes, there’s wallpaper drama), and a questionable method of “research” for this podcast. Tara’s drowning in meeting hell but still finds time to binge Suits and side-eye the VMAs. We also confess to reading full-on smut (Praise, anyone?) and pairing wines with it, because obviously. Add in a little football talk—mostly about the men in tight pants—and you’ve got an episode that’s part chaos, part therapy, and fully unfiltered.

Tyler’s rocking an 8-step skincare saga (he thought it was 7), while Tara’s proudly sticking to her 2-step survival plan. We spill on what self-care looks like across generations—what we splurge on, what we skip, and why Gen Z glow-ups clash with Gen X “just get it done” vibes. Expect laughs, side-eyes, and a whole lot of chaos in between.

Tyler’s already stressing about finding a date for a wedding… in two years. Tara’s over here with the Gen X side-eye while we compare dating disasters, small-town struggles, and what it’s like when your only neighbors are cornfields. Sprinkle in a few squirrel-level tangents about TV shows, and you’ve got another round of Gen Whine chaos.

What do you get when a Gen Z wine nephew and a Gen X wine auntie slide into each other’s DMs? A friendship that was definitely not on the calendar. In our first episode, we spill how we met, why Tyler keeps turning into a pixelated ghost, our obsession with Survival of the Thickest, and the internet’s attempt to sabotage our podcast before it even started. It’s unfiltered, unexpected, and unapologetically us.Write to Tara Zeitner Snethen
