The Superlatively Yes Podcast

"It made me go to bed angry." And honestly? That may be the most accurate streaming review system currently available. This week's after-show for Episode 209 of the Superlatively Yes Podcast ("Raised Analog, Living Digital — Why Gen X Still Feels Different") quickly turned into an accidental master list of everything Tanya and Jen are currently watching, rewatching, recommending, emotionally processing, or threatening to quit entirely. From Taylor Sheridan dramas to nostalgic childhood television, this episode covers the shows that stay with us, frustrate us, comfort us, and occasionally make us go to bed angry. Tanya and Jen discuss Ted Lasso, Your Friends & Neighbors, The Madison, The Better Sister, Imperfect Women, Tracker, The Night Agent, and show cancellations. The conversation also drifts into beloved Gen-X television memories, including Little House on the Prairie, Hee Haw, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, The Wonderful World of Disney, Unsolved Mysteries, and the strange realization that many 1980s movies absolutely could not survive in modern culture. There's also a surprisingly passionate conversation about The Devil Wears Prada, why the Barbie movie brought Tanya so much joy, and whether Project Hail Mary exposed some gaps in their communcation. Somewhere in the middle of all of this, the conversation includes Mountain burgers, childhood TV lineups, mystery spoilers, actors who only play themselves, why everyone on modern television mumbles, and the ongoing Gen-X need for captions. If you've ever texted a friend, "What are you watching right now?" this after show is basically that conversation, but longer, funnier, and slightly more emotionally invested.

If you survived secondhand smoke in a station wagon, folded notes into triangles, waited 6–8 weeks for a cereal box prize, and knew the heartbreak of running out of typewriter ink at midnight, this episode is for you. This week on the Superlatively Yes Podcast, Tanya and Jen take a hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt trip through Gen X nostalgia. From Ronald Reagan and Johnny Carson to Scholastic Book Fairs, scratch-and-sniff stickers, propane curling irons, Swatch watches, acid wash jeans, and the emotional damage caused by boredom after sunset in the backseat of a car. Nothing is off limits. They revisit the collective moments that shaped an entire generation: Baby Jessica, the OJ Bronco chase, late-night television sign-offs, and growing up in a world where parents had little idea where their children were for hours at a time. Tanya and Jen also explore why Gen X became such a resilient, funny, and deeply creative generation, even if much of that humor came from unresolved trauma and from surviving discomfort with sarcasm. Later in the episode, the conversation shifts to one of their favorite movies of all time: The Devil Wears Prada 2. They discuss the fashion, the nostalgia, the emotional impact of revisiting beloved characters 20 years later, Stanley Tucci's unforgettable one-liners, Miranda Priestly's evolution, and the surprising message the movie delivers about creativity, humanity, and why authentic human storytelling still matters in an increasingly AI-driven world. This episode is funny, nostalgic, sentimental, and deeply Gen X in the very best way. Follow, download, and leave a five-star review if you're enjoying the show — it helps more than you know.

What if real self-care has nothing to do with buying another product? In this solo episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast, Tanya talks about the quieter, gentler kind of self-care that has genuinely changed her life: preparing peace in advance. From setting a glass of water on the nightstand for "Future Tanya" to laying out Bombas socks like she's her own personal assistant, this episode explores the tiny systems, rituals, and habits that make life feel softer rather than more chaotic. Tanya shares her evolving relationship with procrastination, survival mode, urgency addiction, paper planners, "irreversible tasks," and learning how to stop abandoning herself in small ways throughout the day. She also discusses why calm once felt suspicious, how preparation creates freedom, and why the best self-care may simply be becoming trustworthy to yourself. This episode is funny, comforting, practical, and deeply relatable for anyone who feels overwhelmed by modern life, productivity culture, emotional exhaustion, or the pressure to optimize everything. Topics include self-care, routines, Gen X humor, procrastination, nervous system regulation, organization, intentional living, future self habits, daily routines, personal growth, emotional wellness, home systems, podcast reflections, and finding peace in ordinary moments.

In this episode of Superlatively Yes, Tanya and Jen revisit the classic five love languages from The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman—and then lovingly (and hilariously) expand the list to include the ones that actually define their lives. From "not having to explain the backstory" to "someone bringing you a Diet Coke without asking", this episode explores the deeply relatable—and often unspoken—ways we give and receive love as Gen X women. They reflect on how love languages helped a generation finally feel seen, why personality tests exploded when they did, and how understanding yourself can lead to stronger relationships, less friction, and a whole lot more grace. You'll hear: A quick breakdown of the original five love languages Why Gen X didn't grow up talking about emotional needs How love languages evolve over time The difference between giving love intentionally vs. authentically Tanya & Jen's unofficial love languages (you will absolutely relate) Why "acts of peace" might be the most underrated love language Why Diet Coke might deserve its own category Plus, a fan-favorite return of Cute & Fun, featuring beauty finds, home gadgets, and a few things you didn't know you needed until now. If you've ever felt complicated, layered, or just a little high-maintenance (in the best way), this episode is for you.

Mini Monday: Life is Life-ing The best part of waking up? Coffee… so you can sit back down again. In this Mini Monday, we're talking about what it looks like when life is full—not in a shiny, curated way, but in the "nothing is working, everything is happening, and why is there a generator involved?" kind of way. From tech struggles and chaotic afternoons to soul-sister truth bombs and the realization that maybe we don't need to overthink everything—we just need to do the thing—this episode is a gentle reset. We also get into: Why everyone feels a little stretched right now The importance of giving yourself (and your friends) more grace The difference between overthinking and actually taking action Why some things in life are not worth packing into the next season And a very important discussion about Carmex, moving, and letting go If you've been feeling overwhelmed, behind, or just a little off—this one's for you. Takeaway: Not everything needs to come with you. Some things you can just… let go. Give yourself some grace this week. Keep the important stuff. And maybe… don't pack the Carmex. ✨ Love Mini Mondays?
