    Nobody Warned Us About THIS | ADHP S2E4

    Nobody hands you the real adult starter pack. This week we're talking about everything people conveniently forgot to warn us about: grocery shopping every three days, birthdays getting weird, learning to stop caring what strangers think, why your inner monologue runs the company, travelling, hobbies, mental health, crock pots (again), and somehow The Beatles catching strays. Somewhere between life advice and complete chaos, we accidentally put together the handbook every millennial could've used ten years ago. Running on 30%. Still showing up.

    Crock Pots, Red Flags & Bad Towels | ADHP S2E3

    What actually belongs in the adulthood starter pack? Not the fake motivational nonsense. Not “wake up at 5 AM and journal beside a lemon water.” We mean the real stuff: a good towel, an air fryer, a crock pot, a mattress that doesn’t ruin your spine, boundaries, better money decisions, relationship red flags, friendship rules, and maybe a fire extinguisher because apparently adulthood includes preventing your house from becoming content. In Episode 3 of ADHP: Adulthood Pending Season 2, Zaga and Nick build the official Adulthood Starter Pack 2.0 with help from the 30%ers. This week’s mission: decide what actually deserves a spot in the cart. We talk about the home essentials every adult should own, why crock pots are either genius or emotional surrender, what is worth spending extra money on, which subscriptions we refuse to cancel, relationship green flags, red flags, friendship rules, and why treating service workers badly is one of the loudest red flags on Earth. The episode also gets into fire extinguishers, New Balance, good towels, mattresses, yoga mats, money choices, and the sacred adult battle of crock pot vs air fryer. Tiny little shopping trip through the ruins of adulthood. If you like the episode, don’t just watch it. Share it. Send it to someone running on 30%. Put it in the group chat. Make it everybody else’s problem in a loving way. In this episode: Zaga gets his voice back, sort of The 30%ers help build the episode The weekly battery check returns Air fryer vs crock pot chaos Why adults need one good towel Mattresses, fire extinguishers, New Balance, fanny packs, and adult home essentials What is actually worth spending extra money on Subscriptions we refuse to cancel Relationship green flags and red flags Why “no” is still a full sentence Treating service workers badly is a massive red flag Friendship rules every adult should know The list is not finished, because naturally adulthood needs a part two Comment below: What belongs in the official ADHP Adulthood Starter Pack?

    Protect Your Peace… or Are You Just Avoiding Life? | ADHP S2:E2

    Protecting your peace sounds great until it turns into avoiding every uncomfortable conversation like adulthood is a haunted house and accountability is hiding behind the couch. In Episode 2 of ADHP: Adulthood Pending Season 2, Zaga’s voice is barely hanging on, so Nick steps in as “Doctor Nick” to help carry the episode while we talk about the difference between protecting your peace and just avoiding life. We get into boundaries, people-pleasing, saying no, group chats, cancelled plans, work messages after hours, overthinking, social media rage bait, and the emotional damage caused by the words “we need to talk.” This week’s mission: figure out what actually deserves your energy, what needs a boundary, and what needs to be muted before it drains your last 30%. Because sometimes protecting your peace is growth.Sometimes it is avoidance in a trench coat.And sometimes it is just muting the group chat because the dinging has become a hate crime against your nervous system. Same chaos, better decisions.

    We Learned Nothing… And Somehow Everything | ADHP 52

    We learned nothing… …and somehow everything. 🎙️ Season 1 Finale of Adulthood Pending is here. 52 episodes later, and we’re still trying to figure out adulthood… except now we’re slightly more self-aware and way more chaotic about it. This episode was supposed to be a simple send-off. Instead, it turned into one of the most honest, unfiltered, and unintentionally deep conversations we’ve had all season. From burnout and people-pleasing… to identity, growth, and why doing absolutely nothing somehow feels illegal now… Yeah… it got real. 🎙️ In this episode, we get into: 🧠 What 52 episodes actually taught us about adulthood 🔥 Why burnout hits different in your 30s 😵‍💫 The guilt of resting (and why it’s broken) 💬 Trusting yourself vs everyone else’s opinions 🚫 People-pleasing, boundaries, and learning to say no 🌀 Overthinking vs intuition (your brain is a liar) 👶 What we miss about being kids… and what we don’t 😂 And then it completely derails into: 🔥 Fan Q&A chaos (y’all really went there) 💀 “Is murder ever justified?” (we promise… mostly jokes) 😤 Dealing with difficult people & emotional vampires 🎮 Future plans, streaming, and what’s next 🍔 Food takes that might actually start wars 💩 And somehow… we end the season like that 🚨 WHAT’S NEXT We’re taking a short break… but don’t get comfortable. 👉 Zaga is going LIVE (Twitch/YouTube/TikTok) during the break 👉 More content.

    This Episode Got Way Too Real… | ADHP 51

    This episode was supposed to stay on track… it didn’t. In Episode 51 of Adulthood Pending, Zaga and Copper start with a simple idea and somehow spiral into one of the most unfiltered conversations of the season. From “being mean vs being honest” to why entertainment feels fake now, this episode turns into a full breakdown of how people are DONE being told what to like… and why authenticity is starting to win again. We also get into Hawaii, Ireland, cancel culture, independent creators, and somehow end up answering fan questions that completely derail everything. This one is chaotic, real, and very on-brand. Because at the end of the day… we’re not polished… we’re just honest. 🎙️ We get into: 🌴 Why Hawaii changed Zaga’s entire mindset (“that’s not aloha”) 🧠 The difference between honesty vs just being an a*****e 🎬 Why Hollywood and gaming feel forced right now 💰 The shift from big corporations to independent creators 🎮 Why cheaper indie games are beating AAA titles 🚫 Cancel culture, comedy, and where the line actually is 🗣️ Real talk about empathy, truth, and people picking sides And then it completely falls apart with: 🔥 Fan Q&A chaos 😂 Sleep schedules, caffeine addiction, and ADHD spirals 🎲 D&D, relationships, red flags, and random debates 🍦 Pistachio ice cream takes that should probably be illegal 💬 JOIN THE COMMUNITY Season 2 is coming… and we’re letting YOU shape it.

    50 Episodes Later… We’re Still Not Real Adults 😂 | ADHP 50

    50 episodes later… and we still have no idea what we’re doing 😂 In this milestone episode of Adulthood Pending, we take a step back and ask the real question… Did we actually get better at being adults… or just better at pretending? From missed trash days to DoorDash addictions, failed routines, and the reality of post-vacation burnout, this episode is a full breakdown of what we’ve learned (and what we definitely haven’t) over the past year. We get into: 🧠 Why adulthood never actually “clicks” ✈️ Why vacations don’t fix your life (they might make it worse) 💸 The constant battle between groceries vs DoorDash 🏠 Why chores and responsibilities NEVER end 🎄 Holidays being straight-up scheduled chaos 📱 How technology went from helping us… to controlling us And somehow… we also end up debating: ⚔️ Planes vs cruise ships (and irrational fears of pirates??) 🥊 Whether mutual combat should be legal everywhere 🧴 Skincare routines saving our lives in our 30s 🎬 Feeling old when people don’t know classic movies This episode is chaotic, honest, and painfully relatable. Because at the end of the day… we’re not behind… we just thought we’d be further along by now.

    Why Adulthood Feels Worse After Vacation 😂 (I Spent $65 on This…) | ADHP 49

    Why does adulthood feel worse after vacation? In this episode of Adulthood Pending, we get into post-vacation burnout, dumb spending decisions, and the reality of being a millennial trying to get your life together… and immediately failing 😂 Zaga is back from Hawaii with a new look, new mindset… and a $65 purchase that completely breaks Nick live on air 💀 We get into: ✈️ Why coming back from vacation hits harder than it should 🧢 The new “uncle era” (mustache + dad hats = dangerous combo) 💸 Spending money on things we absolutely do NOT need 📦 A LIVE unboxing that spirals instantly 🎮 Letting the fans take control of the episode (bad idea) From Marvel vs DC debates to childhood nostalgia and the dumb things we survived as kids… this episode goes completely off the rails. Also… yes… Nick crashes out. And yes… it was worth every dollar 😭 🌴 SUPPORT OAHU FLOOD RELIEF Hawaii is more than a destination.
