    ICE Tours Airports, Unhinged Ways People Use ChatGPT, Andrew Says Goodbye

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! Thoughts and prayers to anyone flying this week (sorry Andrew)! This week’s Dumpster Fire Corner takes us straight to the airport chaos you didn’t ask for. With TSA agents working unpaid during the ongoing shutdown and hundreds quitting, wait times are spiraling and now ICE has been deployed to just... stand around? Are they helping or just vibing ominously in groups? It's Andrew's final episode of #Millennial, so we wanted to send him on his way with the most unhinged (and maybe useful) tips and tricks for using the world of AI to his advantage. People are using ChatGPT to win insurance appeals, write obituaries, and decode messy text threads. We also share our own random use cases (seriously, asking chat to look at pictures of dog poop? Ew!) Then, we unpack the rise of “typomaxxing,” where bad spelling is suddenly a power move to prove you’re human. This week's recommendations are important staples! Support independent podcasts (Andrew), Naturium's Glow Getter oil based cleanser (Laura), and getting a 3-in-1 soil tester (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: The Roast of Andrew Sims! Y'all knew we weren't gonna let him get out the door without facing the music. Come one, come all for the airing of #Millennial family grievances one last time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Hokey Pokey (HBP Chapter 20, ‘Lord Voldemort’s Request’)

    On this week’s episode, we take another trip down memory lane. Be sure to hide your valuable family heirlooms because there is a thieving Dark Lord lurking. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they do the Hokey Pokey and they turn themselves around… because that’s what it’s all about! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 20: Lord Voldemort’s Request Memory #1: Hepzibah, Hokey & Helga Hufflepuff We debate whether or not Tom Riddle should have been given a post at Hogwarts vs. allowing him to dabble in dark artifacts at Borgin and Burkes Hokey The Scapegoat: we compare how Tom Riddle used her much like he used Morfin and Hagrid! Hepzibah Smith displays some of Hufflepuff’s less-than-flattering character traits. Do we agree she is Slughorn “lite” in her behavior? What do we make of the “young, attractive man charming the older, wealthy woman” trope? Memory #2: Awkward Job Interview Given how his appearance has begun to change, does Dumbledore already suspect Horcruxes during Voldemort’s trip to Hogwarts? Do we agree with Dumbledore that Voldemort didn’t actually come to Hogwarts to get the Defense Against The Dark Arts (DADA) post? Doesn’t the Ministry, school governors, and other faculty notice the turnover rate for the DADA position? Why isn’t anything done to break the curse? Lynx Line: In an alternate universe where Dumbledore decided to give Tom a second chance, what Hogwarts position should he have offered Tom instead of DADA Professor [wrong answers only]? Quizzitch: In Chapter 20, we learn why Hogwarts cannot have a DADA teacher for more than year. In United States history, which two American Presidents served less than one year in office?

    'Project Hail Mary,' Great Space Movies, and Alien News

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! It’s another week of pretend adulting and real talk as we welcome Eric (!!!) to the show and dive headfirst into the latest Dumpster Fire Corner. From a surprising Republican resignation over the Iran conflict to a leaky White House, rising gas prices, this doesn't look to be the easy in and out President Sundown promised. Then we blast off into a space-themed discussion inspired by Project Hail Mary, breaking down what makes a great space (and space disaster) movie, whether we prefer our sci-fi grounded in reality or pure escapism, and swapping favorites from Gravity to Star Wars. We also touch on the ever-weird “aliens are real” discourse making headlines after former President Obama baited Trump into making sweeping proclamations about releasing all files related to aliens (but not Epstein). This week in recommendations: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Andrew), African exfoliating nets (Laura), no-slip clothes hangers (Pam), and dual-monitor setups, bonus points if you can acquire yours on the cheap through Facebook Marketplace (Eric). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're unpacking Gen Z’s obsession with iPods, the rise of digital minimalism, and whether we’re all secretly craving a low-tech “analogue bag” escape from the chaos. Join us to find out what we'd each carry in our analogue bag to stay entertained on a desert island! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    How To Fight Time Changes and Seasonal Blues

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! Trump and Israel's war on Iran isn't going well. There's mixed messages, rising gas prices, and Trump just admitted he doesn't know enough info about anything. Oh, and it's been confirmed that America bombed a school and killed over 100 girls. Is this the America voters wanted? Meanwhile, the clocks have changed in America, and rather than complaining about how much the time change sucks, we're striving to help you transition easier with each time change going forward (Let's be honest: Lawmakers aren't going to fix this for us).  We look at best practices for jumping forward without feeling groggy, and offer some practical tips on how you can conquer winter blues (Pam's a big fan of alarm clocks that recreate the sunrise!). Plus, we talk about SAD Lamps... but why are we calling them SAD? That sounds a little... sad... Later, we look at if sleep tracking apps can help us conquer time changes and jet lag. Then of course there's always the medicine front - Andrew shares that he recently starting taking Wellbutrin, which can be used to take seasonal depression. This week's recs: Andrew's Favorite Things returns with Slow Closing Toilet Seats, Pam recommends a cheaper sunrise alarm clock before getting a more expensive one (like the Hatch), and Laura recommends the new HBO Max show DTF St. Louis.

    An Announcement From Andrew, and The Next Heated Rivalry

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! The Dumpster Fire Corner is in full blaze mode this week. We break down the potential Paramount takeover of Warner Bros. and why the Larry Ellison–Trump connection has media watchers sweating, especially with CBS News, CNN, HBO, and the future of bold LGBTQ storytelling hanging in the balance. Then: Trump and Netanyahu launch “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran, civilian casualties mount, oil prices teeter at the Strait of Hormuz, and the vibes are giving strong Iraq War flashbacks. TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE. After, Andrew has an announcement to share about his role on the show going forward. More in the episode! Plus, we dive into HBO’s breakout hit Heated Rivalry: why it worked, why the yearning hit so hard, whether Hollywood will learn the right lessons, and how it’s literally boosting National Hockey League ticket sales. But does the NHL deserve all these new queer fans? We discuss. This week's recommendations are just a click away if you're ordering online! Flip 7: With a Vengeance (Andrew), Halovida dry shampoo gel (Laura), and Clipa bag hanger (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Patrons submitted their “final questions" for Andrew in light of his upcoming departure from #Millennial. We're getting reflective, grateful, and just a little unhinged. Plus some never before heard behind the scenes tea. It's giving deathbed confessions! Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Partyfication of Productivity

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! We’re skipping the State of the Union to spend much-needed time with our PALs! (Former Prince) Andrew was arrested (on his birthday!) amid the latest Epstein fallout, while King Charles III seemingly kept calm and carried on. Meanwhile, SCOTUS smacks down Donald Trump’s “emergency” tariffs in a 6–3 ruling that could lower costs (and raise his blood pressure). Then: making and maintaining friendships as adults. Trust your gut. Follow up. Send the meme. Plus, we discuss the rise of the “admin party” aka doing your life chores with friends, snacks, and vibes. This week's recommendations: Switchbot Automatic Curtain Openers (Andrew), build your sleep routine before the upcoming time change (Laura), and 'The Hunting Party' on Netflix (Pam). In After Dark, we get into big decision energy: flip the coin, test the waters, and stop fearing change. Growth is scary, but staying stuck is scarier. We get personal about how we break analysis paralysis and ultimately stay true to ourselves when faced with big life changes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Feeling Rich in a Tough Economy

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! Should talk shows be treated like news programs? CBS and the FCC seem to think so in light of Stephen Colbert's interview with Texas State Rep James Talarico being blacklisted from airing. The irony? The Streisand Effect strikes again, with the YouTube version of the interview getting way more attention because of the controversy. From there, we unpack the rise of luxury grocery culture spotlighted by The Wall Street Journal, including Erewhon’s viral $19 strawberry and the broader Gen Z/Millennial appetite for bougie “experiences,” plus how the MAHA movement led by RFK Jr. is reshaping food discourse around raw milk, beef tallow, and protein panic. This week's recommendations: Figo pet insurance (Andrew), EOS Cashmere Vanilla to smell good (affordably) (Laura), and the Whole Foods Coffee Bar (Pam). In After Dark, inspired by a The New York Times column on happiness, we dig into whether the real key to happiness is feeling loved. How have we found that active listening makes it easier to reciprocate in relationships? And we speak from experience about how to know when it’s time to stop pouring into relationships that don’t pour back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Dual State, and How To Make A Difference Without Overwhelming Yourself

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! This week we're joined by our friend and social media activist Tariq Ra'ouf and asking: how do you live a “normal” life when everything feels anything but normal? Tariq has been making a difference with his transparent and genuine coverage of tragedies that are going on in the world. We dig into a Vox advice column about the “dual state” theory and why some people carry on like everything’s fine while others feel like the ground is shifting beneath their feet. We share how we're talking to friends who just don’t seem concerned, and talk strategies for staying informed without losing our minds. We wrap with actionable recommendations in light of this week's topic: 5Calls.org (Andrew) and Indivisible.org (Laura). In the Dumpster Fire Corner, we unpack the alarming abduction of Nancy Guthrie: the strange digital trail involving Nest camera footage that supposedly didn’t exist, and what it means for your data privacy. Plus the latest Epstein file developments, including newly revealed names, political finger-pointing, and mounting pressure on powerful figures. And in this week's installment of After Dark, we're getting honest about marriage, long-term partnerships, divorce, and what commitment looks like for Millennials who aren’t in a rush to walk down the aisle.
