In episode 75 of A Little Bit Dead, Gen X hosts Sandy and Kristy welcome 17-year-old guest Kaitlyn, a coworker headed to UT Tyler for nursing after unexpectedly falling in love with healthcare through a school CNA program. The conversation revisits “what we’d tell our 18-year-old selves,” with advice to stay grounded in college, don’t let relationships or drama feel like the end of the world, enjoy being young, and be responsible (including letting someone else do your taxes). They contrast generational attitudes about feelings and social media pressure, touch on politics and college bias, and swap stories about how time speeds up, raising kids, loss, and finding purpose. It ends with childbirth and hair-dye tangents. Thank you for listening!!!

In episode 74, Sandy and Kristy celebrate how far the podcast has come and ask for ideas for a big 100th-episode plan (TikTok and cocktail hour included). Kristy’s “dead inside” moment is heavy: her husband’s worsening health pushed him to walk away from a job he’d held for 23 years after the company offered him a degrading, unhealthy position, leaving the family facing big life and financial changes. Sandy’s gripe is lighter but relatable: her broken-AC-and-heater Nissan needs replacing, but slimy, sexist car sales tactics—and a dip-spitting salesman—make shopping miserable. They also vent about ChatGPT confidently spreading misinformation, talk verifying sources (including sketchy Google results), share true-crime updates on the Gilgo Beach murders, and plug a local boutique’s 10-year anniversary plus an upcoming paranormal convention and merch.

Sandy and Kristy kick off this weeks episode of Lil Bit Dead with a visit to Urgent Care - because Kristy likely has strep, then vent about taxes and celebrate small life wins. They dive into two big true-crime updates: a 1974 murder of 17-year-old Laura Amy finally being definitively tied to Ted Bundy through preserved evidence and modern DNA, and a 1994 Arizona missing child case where 13-year-old Christina Plant was found alive at 44 after 32 years—though authorities won’t share details. They rant about misinformation (including people misreading “inconclusive” ballistics), touch on the Dugger case update, argue you can’t judge how someone grieves, and end with a creepy embalming TikTok, a Harry Potter casting complaint, and a formal apology for unwanted Bubba Wallace ads.
