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....

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...

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 ...

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...

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), SCOTU...

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!...

We're off to celebrate the holidays, so enjoy this recent After Dark episode from our Patreon! In it, Laura and Andrew recount their first dates with their other halves, and then we discuss how to nail a first date (not literally). We also discuss if it's a good idea to use a certain location to host all of your first dates. Pro: It's a comfortable environment for you, which might help ease your nerves. Con: The bartender might call you out for all the different people you bring there. We're ent...

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! We want to keep things light going into the holidays, but the world is still on fire, so we have to acknowledge the viral story of the manhunt for Luigi Mangione, the murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO. The internet's reacting in a way we expected, but where should we draw the line? In our penultimate episode of the year, we're getting into the holiday spirit by revisiting the "it" toys of our childhood. What were some all time fa...

Andrew is looking forward to his first cruise in the next few weeks, but he's tempted to cancel and instead go on The Villa Vie Residence cruise, a 4-year journey starting next year. Why ever might it be timed for 4 years?? Seriously though, what does going on a 4-year cruise actually accomplish if you're unhappy about politics at home? No, this isn't a headline from The Onion: satirical magazine The Onion bought Alex Jones' InfoWars and all of its properties at auction. Bankrupt and without his...

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real post-mortem election talk! Running away to nature and self care: how we've spent the last week (or last million years) since the election. To our friends on the left: WE LOST. SORRY. DON'T GO DOWN THE CONSPIRACY RABBIT HOLE! Let's toot our own horn: unlike prior generations, millennials are not getting more conservative as we age (take that grandpa!). Confirmed: Republicans will take the House majority, but we're predicting a slim one...

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and AHHHHH PRE-ELECTION TALK! In our last installment before the 2024 US election, we bring the campaign stories that are top of mind to the table. As per usual, Dems are winning the star power battle... and the GOP got Kid Rock in the national divorce. Bad Bunny endorsed Harris following reprehensible commentary about Puerto Rico that happened at Trump's 1930's fascist rally at Madison Square Garden. He has over 45 million IG followers, and w...

The US election is 2 weeks away, and we spotlight the various constitutional amendments and referendums being voted on at the state level: marijuana legalization, abortion protections, ranked choice voting, and more! We each share what's on our states' ballots, and how we're voting on these amendments! (And Laura reminds you to "look under the hood" on these proposals to better understand how they will actually work.) Why on earth are there bipartisan efforts to kill open primaries and ranked ch...

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real DEBATE talk! We're coming to you on the heels of the (most likely) final debate of the 2024 Presidential campaign. And we got served a decidedly... cordial debate performance. It's like we got in a time machine and transported to pre-Trump America. Don't get it twisted: JD Vance did a very good job of seeming rational and reasonable, but his record is anything but. Walz had more opportunity to play the attack dog, but Laura thinks wit...

A new conversation is brewing about the use of trigger warnings, and it may not be about what you think: is the increased usage of trigger warnings potentially causing spoilers for viewers?...

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and nothing but love for Taylor Swift, Haitian migrants, and geese. Is your calendar the secret to fostering deeper friendships? The NYTimes (and Andrew) think so! It seems simple enough - a standing coffee date, joining a sports league or a book club. But why do so many of us struggle to make these commitments? We discuss some ways to make planning an event with a large group easier, like using a scheduling app for availability, instagram pol...

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Who will Kamala pick as her VP? We want Mayor Pete, but we're not sure if he'll make the cut (this time). VP candidate and couch aficionado J.D. Vance lashed out at childless cat ladies - he has no idea what he's done! As childless (dog) ladies ourselves, we feel seen by this report from Pew that shows 57% of people under 50 who aren't having kids cite "just not wanting to" as their primary reason.
