Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real DEBATE talk!
Starting this week we're releasing video episodes on YouTube! Subscribe and watch us each week!
We're coming to you right after Tuesday night's Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and boy, was that a doozy.
It began with Kamala establishing dominance by forcing a handshake, and it all went downhill from there.
We kept a running list of the best and worst moments of the debate, but one of our favorite takeaways of the night was ABC's moderators fact checking Trump's lies on the spot. FINALLY!
In Trump dystopian fantasy world, undocumented migrants are taking over our cities and... eating peoples' pets?
Kamala really gets under the orange guy's skin by bringing his crowd sizes and engagement into question, and that's where he really starts to flip.
Trump used immigration as his pivot topic for... pretty much everything. FOX News called, they want their talking points back!
"Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people and he's having a hard time processing that."
How are we feeling about how things stand with the Presidential race post-debate? Kamala killed it, but Trump is playing a different game than traditional politics. Will this debate move the needle further out of his favor?
The next debate will be between Tim Walz and JD Vance on Tuesday 10/1, so we'll see you for more debate coverage soon!
This week's recommendations: get your updated flu and covid shots if eligible (Laura), Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice cold brew concentrate (Pam), and Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, the card game (Andrew).

And in this week's installment of After Dark:

Let's talk strategies to be safe and sane for the rest of the election season. How will we be voting - in person, or absentee?
Let's recap where we were when the election was called for Biden in 2020, and make predictions about how long it will take to get results this time.
Is it worth it to pay much attention to the media and polling?

The episode also explores the environmental and ethical concerns surrounding AI tools like ChatGPT, with listeners sharing their personal experiences and the ways they use AI in their everyday lives. We debate the environmental cost of AI and its growing presence in our daily activities, with some listeners expressing concerns while others highlight its usefulness for tasks like creating educational resources or helping with data analysis.

We wonder if we're on the brink of another dramatic TikTok ban, and if Trump is having his "Daddy I can change him!" moment with his main squeeze Vladimir Putin. We're also joined by relationship coach Kim Polinder, who shares insights on relationship dynamics and the most common conflicts faced by couples. Kim gives a number of great insights, and emphasizes better frameworks for couples to use to navigate conflict and address resentments rather than letting them stack up. Kim also helps us understand our own attachment styles (we've got some avoidants on this panel, is anyone shocked?). We also discuss the role politics and family can play in relationship conflicts, and whether all the buzz-worthy relationship advice on social media is helpful or not. And in this week's edition of After Dark: Part 2 of our red flags discussion. What red flags have we seen in relationships, and what red flags are our friends navigating right now? Sorry yo, but if your new SO is spending a lot of time with an ex, that is a big red flag! If we notice red flags with new people our friends are dating, when does it reach the point where something needs to be said? Want to learn more about Kim Polinder?

It's a listener feedback episode this week, but first, y'all know we're gonna continue covering the dumpster fire that is Trump's first 100 days in office (the sequel). Tariffs on, tariffs off, and the stock market came crumbling down. SO MUCH WINNING! We're continuing to hear from federal workers, and those whose work is federally funded. Y'all are the real heroes! Keep whistleblowing! ChatGPT isn't just coming in handy for technical work, creatives (like us!) are using it to help simplify our work. Andrew, or as he is otherwise known, Andrea is a total flake. Positivity in the face of financial woes, and the importance of reading the room when talking about finances in mixed company. We've got your ears, eyes, and belly covered with this week's recommendations: Lady Gaga's "Mayhem" (Pam), Too Good to Go (Andrew), and "Common Side Effects" on Adult Swim/MAX.

Trump decides that America will lead from behind and will also increase the prices of everyday goods for Americans. Make America Expensive Again! There's bad news everywhere, and Republican Representatives can't handle the heat: They're no longer hosting in-person town halls because their constituents feel betrayed. Oops! In the Good News department, Dunkin and four other coffee chains have decided to no longer charge extra for dairy alternatives; a move that is surely inspired by consumers being FED UP with higher prices. Yay! In light of tariffs, Americans are stocking up on supplies. We look at what our fellow citizens are hoarding like coffee, avocados, olive oil, and maple syrup (Eh!), and if we're following in their footsteps. Speaking of trying to save money, the Buy it Nice or Buy it Twice trend has people trying to invest in better quality products rather than buying the same crappy products again and again. We look at how we've invested in ourselves in recent years, and share suggestions for listeners on how they can ultimately save money by buying right the first time! Recommendations: The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop (Pam) and Lady Gaga's upcoming album MAYHEM (Andrew, obviously). And this week, in After Dark: You've heard of MuggleSuck, but what sucks about being a podcaster? As grateful as we are, it's time to reveal the crappy side of podcasting. How your passions become less fun when you have to podcast about them. Andrew and Pam are doing something today they wish they got to do every week.

Sorry, we're not even halfway there: Trump's first 100 days continued. Germany swung right in their recent elections, but to Elon's chagrin, they didn't go far right. A win is a win. Is this really the right time for Trump to be rushing Boeing on building his new fleet of air force 1 planes? : Federal employees continue to be barraged by layoffs and misleading, confusing information from DOGE. Amazon is removing the Kindle backup feature, and readers are concerned about being able to access ebooks they paid for in the future should Amazon discontinue them. Are we right to be concerned that the tech industry might be used to drive further censorship and misinformation? It was recently revealed that some Subway franchise owners were pocketing tips left in the infamous "tip screen" rather than giving them to Subway workers. We do a check in on the current state of tipping culture - does it feel like more industries are adding tip screens for every transaction? This week's recommendations are to donate gently used pet supplies to your local humane society (Pam), the Screens app to seamlessly control your Mac from your mobile device (Andrew), and doing a spring audit of your wardrobe + donating gently used items to your local Goodwill (Laura).

If we don't talk about Trump's first 100 days on the pod, did any of it actually happen? Are you a government employee who wants to anonymously share your experience working during this shit show of a time? Email us or submit via the Confessional, and we'll share your experience (but keep your identity secret shhh). DON'T BE FOOLED: Trump isn't going to cut your taxes. He's just diverting your tax dollars to his rich friends in the form of tax breaks. With rising prices, are we pickier about the kinds of events we attend? It feels like a night out to a concert can easily cost over $100, and that's after the cost of the tickets! Wait, why are bigger artists' shows seemingly more affordable abroad? And is it ethical for Americans to travel to counties with fewer tour dates to take advantage of cheaper tickets? What additional perks would we like to justify stadium concert ticket costs? Because time is a flat circle, we want physical tickets commemorating the evening. This week's recommendations are helpful and entertaining: SpotHero for event parking (Pam), ThriftBooks.com (Andrew), and 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' on Disney+ (Laura).

Millennials Admit to Digital Shoplifting; Barnes & Noble Books a Major Comeback 1:17:54

1:17:54

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Andrew's better half Pat joins us this week! Forget the Eagles, did we watch Kendrick Lamar dominate at the Super Bowl? We're continuing to watch the first 100 days of the Trump admin, and sadly, we're continuing to report that the admin's approach is to flood the zone with ridiculous, outrageous legislative priorities and patently false information. Andrew's a baddie: confessions of a digital shoplifter, among his other crimes. Are big retailers making it too easy for consumers to take advantage of generous refund policies? What impact does this have on small businesses? To be fair, we're not just throwing Andrew under the bus - we've all used refund policies to our advantage at one point or another. Speaking of big retailers, Barnes & Noble is having a major comeback with its brick and mortar locations! Barnes & Noble will be opening 60 new bookstores in 2025 after years of decline. Their reasoning? #BookTok trends, the loneliness epidemic, and an increasing consumer demand for more third spaces. And of course, we've got recommendations hot off the press for y'all: Bookshop.org , which now offers ebooks in competition with Kindle (Andrew), 'The House in the Cerulean Sea' by TJ Klune (Pat), and downloading a copy of your student aid history at StudentAid.gov if you have federal student loans (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're all in our mid-thirties - is it time for us to get all of our stuff our of mom and dad's house?

Welcome back to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! In our continuing coverage of Trump's first 100 days in office, we check in on aviation safety, the silicon-valley style DOGE takeover of the Treasury's payment systems, El Salvador opening its prisons to American prisoners (so nice of them), and the biggest BEST update on tariffs everrrrrr. Just kidding, this President is a joke. But we're also keeping an eye on EGGflation and sharing weekly updates since apparently that's what matters most to American voters. Who has a morning routine, and more importantly, who is good at actually sticking to one? Mel Robbins has inspired our panel to take part in her 7-step routine for kickstarting your morning . We share our experiences - did it work for us? How can we embrace the "let them" theory to protect our own peace and inner harmony? This week's recommendations are all themed to the episode - self-help books! 'The 4-Hour Workweek' by Tim Ferris, 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck' by Mark Manson, and 'Don't Believe Everything You Think' by Joseph Nguyen (Andrew), 'How to Do the Work' by Dr. Nicole LaPera (Laura), 'Reasons to Stay Alive' and 'Notes on a Nervous Planet' by Matt Haig (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Who doesn't love a little gossip? Vox inspires us to dig deeper and reflect on why gossiping can feel so satisfying sometimes.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! We're keeping an eye on Trump's first 100 days and giving bite-sized updates at the top of episodes. Should we apply to the White House's New Media program? Maybe we're not the voices they want to feature... Forget about boomer complaints - inspired by this tweet , we want to know what your millennial complaints are! Are millennials starting to become grumpy old people about Gen Z? We get it, you're youthful and full of life and ambition because the world hasn't broken you yet. STOP SHOWING OFF! A common millennial complaint amongst our panel and listeners is missing the early days of the internet, when it was weirder and more fun. Housing costs, student loans, and lacking friends who are also parents definitely make the list. We yearn for the comforts of the early 2000s (but leave the fashion in 2005 pls): longer TV seasons, being able to physically buy software, and all the random videos that became generational memes for millennials. As always, we leave you with our recommendations: An album and artist rec from Pam, 'Tinsley' by Tinsley, The Sims 1 and 2 re-releases coming to PC soon (Andrew), and Jon Stewarts interview with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on his podcast. And in this week's installment of After Dark: Jic Republicans force us to have babies, we imagine a world in which we are parents to Gen Beta children. What would we do differently than what our parents did? What would we do the same? For real though, we can barely take care of ourselves, so do you really trust our judgment? How would we manage raising kids at a time when children seem to have smart devices in hand from birth? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Velveeta Voldemort's Messy First Days, What Millennials Were Told As Kids That Were Lies 1:20:30

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! We had to delay our recording for a day because Laura got stuck in Atlanta's latest snowmaggedon embarrassment. When will they learn to salt the roads in advance? Would it have been better if Trump had won in 2020 so we could be done with him by now? Legally flimsy and intended to inspire outrage: Trump's first 100 executive orders. Lol at everyone who traveled to DC for the inauguration just to find a sudden change in venue due to "the weather." We all saw what Elon did. Period. Is backlash against artists like Carrie Underwood and Nelly warranted due to their decision to perform at Trump's inauguration? Andrew makes a distinction. Get ready for the enshittification of TikTok y'all - unfortunately, the oligarchy is united and now they have a direct line to executive authority. Yay populism! The Supreme Court really is out here choosing violence: first they came for bodily autonomy, now they're poised to seriously curb first amendment free speech rights by placing limitations on access to pornography. Can we empathize with the struggle parents have today with monitoring their kids online? Absolutely. Is that a reason to strike down free speech protections? NO. We wrap the show with some favorite BS lies millennials were told repeatedly as kids that turned out not to be true. As always, we wrap with recommendations: First Aid Beauty Ulta Repair Cream (Pam), @TrumpflationTracker on Threads (Andrew), and 'Severance' season 2 on Apple TV+ (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: How are our relationships with Trump supporting family members going? *redacted* is causing someone's family to do a lot of eye rolling over the insane indoctrination. How best to deal with confrontations from Trump supporting family looking for a fight - keep it simple, keep it petty (but kinda classy). Learn more about your ad choices.

Are We Seriously About to Lose TikTok?, Starbucks Wants To Be Your Friend Again 1:06:42

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! We spend time discussing the latest on the Los Angeles wildfires in California - where are they at, how contained are they, and how many people are being affected? Looking to help? Donate to the American Red Cross to support wildfire relief. We also have a slew of mini political updates: Pam wins the first correct prediction of 2025 (that Trump will fly the flag at full mast for his inauguration because he's a giant baby), SCOTUS to hear a case challenging key provisions of the ACA, and of course... the TikTok question. Are we going to need to satisfy our scrolling addiction elsewhere after January 19th? How would we feel about losing TikTok? Won't people just... find something else? Oh wait, Americans have already started signing up for another Chinese-owned Tik-Tokesque app called Red Note. Lol. It seems like the US government isn't the only thing going backwards in 2025: Starbucks recently announced changes to try and win back customers by bringing back those cool coffee shop vibes that make customers want to enjoy the cafes as a third space. Starbucks specifically plans to bring back the self-serve condiment bar because we're not worried about spreading germs anymore and eliminate the non-dairy milk surcharges (ok this is good). They also plan to add more comfortable seating and provide the option of receiving your drink in a ceramic mug to inspire you to hang around the 'Bucks and socialize a little. Ahh the smell of burnt coffee and capitalism in the morning! Don't miss this week's recommendations! Look for a silent book club near you (Pam), ShoreExcursionsGroup.com to book cruise ship excursions that don't cost an arm and a leg (Andrew), and our What the Hype?! episode on Onyx Storm predictions (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: In honor of this show's 10th birthday, we play tribute to its predecessor, Smart Mouths (rip). Laura was apparently kinda bitchy via email in those days. Sorry! And for a MuggleSuck throwback: we remember the days of wizard rock on the Harry Potter conference circuit. If a certain wrocker's walls could talk... Learn more about your ad choices.

Cruising Into the New Year With 2025 Predictions and Kissing the Ring 1:02:25

Happy New Year, and welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Welp, the US Surgeon General really put a damper on anyone not participating in dry January by saying alcoholic beverages should come with health warnings about increased cause of cancer . Will it stop us? (Nah.) At the start of the new year, we like to revisit our predictions from 2024 and... sorry for the bummer, but we didn't get a single prediction right. Our guest hosts from last year's finale did though! But you know we're also coming in hot with our 2025 predictions, so come along with us to hear our (probably wrong) takes! Hint hint: we have some Trump-related predictions (sorry we have to do this again y'all): he won't be able to stop Putin's war in Ukraine, TikTok will NOT be banned, the big Elon/Trump breakup we're all anticipating will not happen in 2025, and the petty President will fly the US flag at full mast during his inauguration because his special little feelings matter more than honoring former President Jimmy Carter. Don't worry, we have non-Trump predictions too: bitcoin will double its value again in 2025, Chappell Roan will win big at the Grammys, and of course, Andrew's yearly death prediction. Need a little motivation to start the year our right? We share our goals to start the year, and because we are so demure, we're not biting off more than we can chew. You know where to look for the best recommendations! Refresh and GREEN your space (Andrew), upgrade to a smart electric kettle (Pam), and the game 'Cult of Lamb' (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: What's in and what's out for us in 2025? In addition to giving some good ideas for your own ins and outs lists, prepare to learn some new vocabulary! What's in: disassociating from the news, fart walks, habit tracking, and movie musicals to name a few. What's out? Hope scrolling (sorry), energy vampires (???), and describing something as a 'vibe.'

Vibe is BRAT, BRAT is Vibe - Our 2024 Year in Review and Gift Exchange! 1:10:21

1:10:21

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Join us for our last show of 2024! We do our annual gift exchange a little differently this year by getting non-Secret Santa presents for each other. Get ready for all the wholesome vibes, we knocked it out of the park this year! To put a bow on 2024 (does it deserve a bow?) we recount the top stories of the year in terms of news, pop culture, and more. Kamala's brat summer fell out of a coconut tree and surprised and delighted us all - for a brief 100 day window, we were vibing in the context in which we exist. Our love for Cowboy Carter inspires a mini conversation about the evolution of country music - is Andrew becoming a country girlie? The Kendrick/Drake feud had Pam's attention, and Laura was very glad to benefit from her knowledge of the industry to get in on the tea. Weirdest news stories of the year? From brain worms to literal palace intrigue, all the way to trauma dumping on Elmo via Twitter... is everyone ok? We haven't forgotten about other year-defining moments of 2024, like the cursed Pop Tart Bowl , Gypsy Rose's release from prison and subsequent temporary influencer status, and of course, J.D. Vance's poor couch. Our wonderful Patrons shared their favorite show moments of the year, and we get a little misty eyed. Thank you so much for your support! There will certainly be... challenges next year, but we wrap our final episode of the year by talking about what we're EXCITED for in 2025! And for your final 2024 recommendations: Trader Joe's pillar candles (Pam), RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for Switch (Andrew), and mindful.org for free mindfulness and meditation resources (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We share what we're most proud of from 2024 - from professional gains to getting stronger and everything in between, we're all feeling proud of ourselves in big and small ways. We hope you are too! We've all found new hobbies and fandoms to engage with, and shed some things (and people) that were no longer suiting us. Our Patrons share what they're most proud of this year, and WOW, y'all have made some big accomplishments this year! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
