Hello and welcome to citation need of the podcast where we choose a subject, read a single article about it on Wikipedia and pretend we're experts because this is the internet and that's how it works now.

I'm Noah and I'm a Gen Xer.

If there's anything you can say about us, Jen Xers, it's that we've managed to turn drinking from a hose once in a while into a harrowing adventure on car with walking uphill both ways to school.

And joining us tonight, our two men also derived from a generation named by somebody hoping they could cross it out.

If you'd like to learn how to join their ranks, be sure to stick around to the end of the show.

but there's an extensive list on Wikipedia of feral children throughout history.

And they seem a touch worse than your modern Minecraft, chicken jockey,
