Date-Me Docs, Try That in a Small Town, Sundown Towns

Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

• Welcome to #Millennial, the home conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership!
• If you have federal student loans that will go into repayment this fall, be sure to check out the SAVE plan and enroll before interest resumes 9/1!
• Andrew might start a side hustle filming reaction vids. His latest: reacting to a baby bear in Yosemite National Park.
• Spotify users who support us on Patreon can now get our exclusive audio content right within the Spotify app! Woohoo!
• Tired of dating apps? Some are kicking it old school with Date-Me Docs (think personal ads in newspapers). Here's one directory
• Would we connect with someone through a Date-Me doc? We analyze a real life example of one and try to play matchmaker for Pam (she's not having it).
• Our inbox is open: send us your dating docs, OkCupid profiles, etc, and we'll give anonymous, on-air reviews!
• 'Try That in a Small (Sundown) Town:' we dig into the controversy behind this chart-topping song from Jason Aldean, and why the tune and its music video are proving so divisive.
• Laura grew up in Forsyth County, Georgia, which not-so-long-ago had sundown laws in place. For a taste, check out this early episode of Oprah where she visited the belly of the sundown beast (warning: offensive, frequent use of racial slurs).
• The lyrics and imagery of 'Try That In A Small Town' serve as a racist dogwhistle, harkening for the days of Jim Crow and sundown policies. Laura shares her perspective growing up in a place where the echoes of history are still resounding to this day.
• You know we always come with the best recommendations: 'Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing in America' by Patrick Phillips (Laura), 8Sleep Pod Cover (Andrew - click the link for $200 off!), and Tyler Childers as a palette cleanse for all the Jason Aldean talk (Pam).

And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts:
