The XMXperience Trailer
It started with an idea. Actually… a few ideas.
One of them involved politics. That one didn’t make it very far—mostly because Don and Jake wanted to remain friends.
Around the same time, Jake and Sammie were having a different kind of conversation: Everyday life. The moments—big and small—that make you stop and ask the same question over and over again:
What the fuck?
That question became the foundation. Jake pitched it to Don. Just real conversations, honest reactions, and different generations trying to make sense of the same world. Don loved it.
What followed were unfiltered discussions about work, relationships, culture, and the everyday chaos we all deal with—told through the perspectives of two Gen Xers and a millennial. Sometimes funny. Sometimes thoughtful. Sometimes accidentally insightful.
That’s what The XMXperience is.
Not a rebrand. Just a better name for what this always was.
If you like real conversations, generational perspective, and moments that make you laugh, shake your head, or quietly think “how is this normal?”—you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The XMXperience.
00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:08.230
It always starts with an idea. Sometimes it's
00:00:08.230 --> 00:00:12.589
a good one. Sometimes it's half -baked. And sometimes
00:00:12.589 --> 00:00:15.310
it's an idea you're smart enough not to follow
00:00:15.310 --> 00:00:19.730
through on. At one point, Don and I kicked around
00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:23.469
the idea of a political podcast. But the podcast
00:00:23.469 --> 00:00:27.250
world was already saturated with that, and we
00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:31.969
wanted to remain friends. A few years later,
00:00:32.329 --> 00:00:34.609
Sammy and I were having a very different conversation.
00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:39.450
About everyday life. The moments, big and small,
00:00:39.649 --> 00:00:44.270
that make you stop and say, What the fuck? When
00:00:44.270 --> 00:00:47.850
I pitched that idea to Don, he loved it. Two
00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:50.609
Gen X dudes and a millennial woman? What could
00:00:50.609 --> 00:00:55.189
possibly go wrong? Different generations. Different
00:00:55.189 --> 00:01:00.009
perspectives. Same world. What followed were
00:01:00.009 --> 00:01:04.879
real conversations. About work, life, relationships,
00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:11.060
road rage, food, weird headlines. Our recording
00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:14.400
sessions morphed into therapy sessions. We made
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.959
each other laugh so hard that the bloopers became
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.480
just as entertaining as the conversations. We
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.959
realized that we had created a unique dynamic.
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.799
That's what the XM experience is. Not a rebrand.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.799
Just a better name for what this always was.
00:01:31.790 --> 00:01:36.810
Same conversations, same chaos. I'm Jake Jacobs,
00:01:36.969 --> 00:01:40.250
and on behalf of Don and Sammy, you're listening
00:01:40.250 --> 00:01:42.370
to The XM Experience.
