    The Best 'Buy For Life' Items For Smarter Spending

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week, we’re cashing our imaginary $51 Amazon class-action checks and debating what ridiculous Prime purchase we’d blow it on. Meanwhile in D.C., Trump flirts with yet another government shutdown (spoiler: it shut down) and calls in his army of “yes men” while real federal workers brace for furloughs (or worse). We’re also breaking down what tariffs on lumber and furniture could mean for your next splurge, and why sometimes, splurging is exactly what your budget needs. From “buy it for life” items to guilty pleasures that bring us joy, we’re asking: when is it worth spending big in an uncertain economy? Per usual, we've got recommendations handy: Hydration backpacks (Andrew), Netflix's 'Umbrella Academy' (Laura), and Orly in a snap quick dry top-coat formula (Pam). And this week's installment of After Dark has TOO MUCH TEA to plug in front of the paywall. Let's just say it's a new edition of MuggleSuck... Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why The FCC and Trump Overstepped With Kimmel

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast Dear PALs, the rapture may be delayed, but the drama is right on time! We're digging into the FCC’s pressure on ABC and the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension (and reinstatement). What this means for free speech, the politics behind Sinclair and Nexstar’s decisions, and how moves at the top trickle down to independent creators like us. Disney+ faced protests and cancellations over the Kimmel fiasco, and chose this moment to announce everyone's least favorite update: price hikes. All the while, stars and fans alike are canceling Disney+ in solidarity. As always, we're here with the best recommendations: Draft Top Lift Universal Topless Can Opener  (Andrew), weighted blankets to soothe your anxiety in these troubled times (Laura), and Mighty Patch to keep your visage clean and clear! (Pam) Did you get left behind? #Rapturegate may have disappointed some, but our 23% Patreon discount for new subscribers still stands for a few more days. Don't miss out! And in this week's installment of After Dark: Since y'all know we love to talk shit, we've got some updated neighborhood tea to spill. But we're not the only ones bitching this week! Our BAE Patrons weigh in to let us know what neighborhood nonsense is bugging them, and getting some tips from them on how to deal with the most annoying neighbor.

    When AI Came For Novels, Authors Struck Back

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week: It's been... quite a week. We check in on the latest breaking headlines, including Trump's (alleged) face drooping during last week's 9/11 memorial. We're also breaking down Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement with authors after a judge ruled the AI giant trained its chatbot on pirated books. Is this the “Napster moment” for AI, and what does it mean for the future of copyright battles in tech? We also reflect on the decline of reading for fun, and some of us get to humblebrag on the number of books we've read so far in 2025. From social media distractions to BookTok trends, we account for what makes reading difficult, and what inspires us to pick up new reading.  We love a theme, so this week we've got book recommendations on board for y'all! Dare to Lead by Brené Brown (Andrew), This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead (Laura), and The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir by Kelly Bishop (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark, we're talking about the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination. How are we faring after the events of last week, and how are we navigating the constantly shifting details as they emerge? How are we dealing with friends on social media who latch onto single headlines and proceed to double down on a narrative? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week: The Supreme Court has once again reminded us whose rights really matter: profiling is officially A-OK according to SCOTUS (are we winning yet?). We unpack what this ruling means, why it’s so dangerous, and yes, whether we can finally start profiling white dudes with bad haircuts trying to buy guns. Plus, we’re talking about the new Biggest Loser documentary and the long list of TV shows that aged like spoiled milk (What Not to Wear, America’s Next Top Model, The Swan, and more). What current shows will make us cringe in a decade? We’ve got thoughts on Love on the Spectrum and MILF Manor. As always, we've got recommendations (Netflix edition) ready to go: 'Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser' (Andrew), 'Wednesday' season 2 (Laura), and 'The Great British Bake Off' (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're sharing some updates on some spicy drama we plugged a couple of weeks ago. But it's not all updates - there is new drama too.

    Hot Newsom and Labubu Summer

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week we’re unpacking the political drama swirling around Newsom’s latest moves, Trump’s House seat strategy, and what the gerrymandering tug-of-war could mean for key states ahead of the 2026 midterms. Are Newsom’s GCN-signed tweets winning us over, or just adding fuel to the fire? Then, we dive into the bizarrely cute world of Labubu, the creepy, bunny-eared collectible that’s taken over TikTok, shot Pop Mart into Disney-level territory, and even sold for $200K at auction. Why are these “ugly cute” figurines so addictive, and what does it take for us to buy into a craze? As always, we have recommendations for y'all! Flip 7 card game (Andrew), checking your voter registration status (Laura), and Nescafe Gold Espresso (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark, Andrew relives the infamous Great Vegas Flood and SHARES HIS TRUTH!

    Goodbye AOL Dial-Up, Hello All-Time Low Fertility Rate

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast Real talk y'all: this week we're busting the myth about Instagram's new Map feature. No, it's not sharing your live location by default, so take a rest from those social media chain letters. We're also pouring one out for AOL Dial-Up: believe it or not, 1% of US internet users were still relying on this! Plus: Trump’s authoritarian move to federalize the police force in D.C., and the implications that move has for first amendment rights. We also tackle the latest CDC data showing the U.S. fertility rate has hit a historic low. What’s behind the drop, and why are politicians and pronatalists freaking out? We unpack the cultural, economic, and personal reasons more people are choosing to go child-free, and the absurdity of thinking. that restricting access to healthcare and a bigger tax credit can fix it all. It's a TV-centric recommendations kinda week: ABC Summer Games (Andrew), 'Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time' on Hulu/Disney+ (Laura), and 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' on Starz (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Inspired by our findings in the main show that Instagram's new Maps feature is not sharing your location by default, we're asking ourselves... how much info is TOO much info to share? Location sharing may be a modern convenience, but it's also inspiring friend group drama and a ton of privacy fails. Should we be more deeply concerned about how much we're willing to share (and stalk) via location apps? And right on cue, a revelation is made on air that creates jealousy on the panel re: location sharing. Oops! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Sydney Sweeney's Fashion Faux Pas, or Marketing Genius?

    This week on Millennial, we’re diving into the Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle controversy- did the internet overreact to a cheeky jeans pun, or was there something deeper at play rooted in eugenics? We unpack the backlash, AE’s response, and Trump’s weirdly horny support (is that why he was sundowning on the White House roof?). Are brands like American Eagle even relevant anymore, or are we just getting old? Per usual, we have some great recs on tap:  TrumpsTruth.org to peek in on President poopy pants without needing a Truth Social account (Andrew), ‘Sinners’ on HBO Max (Laura), and ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ on Netflix (Pam). In After Dark, we’re digging into what millennials say they waste the most money on: plants, tech, booze, even… cocaine?Plus we debate whether these spends are truly wasteful or just misunderstood.
