Me personally? I hear them talking about the flood of Noah's day (when Jesus said, "Just as in the days of Noah") and the 120 years of preaching that Noah did....
I think that if all this insanity of "overlapping" doesn't work out (or, even to support/ reinforce it) they will say something like: "Jesus 'evidently' meant to give us a clue when he mentioned Noah and the preaching' and that will mean this 'last generation' could last until .... 1914 + 120 = 2034! So keep preaching, like Noah did!
The scripture is.... ( drum roll )...... JOB 42:16!!! Read the verse in several versions for the best results.

God's word defines what a "generation" is by telling us what "generations" mean. So when Jesus spoke of those who would hear his message and live to see the signs and the destruction of Jerusalem as a "generation", it becomes obvious that the WTBTS's overlapping dogma is pure nonsense.
When you add the GB's record of moving the goal post into the mix, it's even more ridiculous. Of course they are Adventist/Zionists/Millerites, so a secondary fulfillment is desired, and they perform mental gymnastics to make it happen.
