CommonX Podcast

The origins of CommonX trace back to a crackling bonfire in Ian Primmer's backyard, where fate, friendship, and a shared vision for a new kind of podcast converged. Ian and Jared Mayzak first met through their wives, but it wasn't long before the conversation turned to Ian's social media success with GENXDAD on TikTok. At the time, Ian was looking for ways to help a mutual friend grow their podcast, while Jared-quick-witted and full of ideas-saw an even bigger opportunity.

Recognizing the potential of their combined voices, Jared envisioned a show that would capture their sharp humor, insightful takes, and Generation X perspective. That's when Ian posed the question that set everything in motion: "Why don't we start the first true Gen X podcast?"

The timing was perfect. Gen X was gaining momentum as an online movement, with GENXDAD already leading the charge. What began as a casual backyard chat quickly evolved into CommonX-a podcast built on raw conversation, cultural commentary, and the unmistakable chemistry of two hosts who knew how to balance wit with wisdom. The rest, as they say, is history... or at least a "really" good episode.
