Love in the 80s, Romance Scams & Gamer Girls Gone Mildly Wild
Description
LOVE! What is it good for? Gossip and a billion dollar scam industry. Get Megan and Lesley's GenX take on lots of vital (hyper-specific to our own experience) nonsense including the following:
- Cursing Groundhog Day (fucking winter)
- BS and Hot Gos: Gossip about 80s celebrity couples and their influences Whose dead NOW?? Soap stars, Planned Parenthood Queen and ... Shrek?
- What shit are we sick of today? Romance scams targeting vulnerable people - we offer resources for protecting loved ones from becoming victims because panicking alone doesn't help.
(34:17) - BREAK - GenXpert/Not an Expert Featuring: (36:57) Learn along with us about our gamer girl heritage and gaming to survive the current apocalypse.
We gotta say - this is a long one - but those GenX women who LOVED gaming will have their memory banks rebooted as we explore the timeline of console game development from the 70s to the 90s.
