    We Thought the GameCube Had Toxic Gas | ADHP S2E7

    Nick believed a GameCube could release toxic gas if you broke it the wrong way.So naturally, he and his stepbrothers tested the rumor.This week, Nick and Copper fall into a nostalgia-fueled nerd fight club covering the games, anime, superheroes, childhood rumors, and fictional universes that raised them.They debate Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 2, Marvel vs. DC, physical games vs. digital libraries, Pokémon vs. Digimon, Star Wars vs. The Lord of the Rings, open-world vs. linear games, and subbed vs. dubbed anime.Copper also faces the Copper Challenge: make one complete argument in 30 seconds without starting five more arguments, explaining an entire franchise, or forgetting the original question.Somewhere between the GameCube toxic-gas experiment, gaming creepypastas, Toonami memories, and the realization that the nerds grew up and became hot, the episode becomes exactly as controlled as you would expect.Running on 30%.

    We built the Museum of Millennial Culture | ADHP S2E6

    Short story long... we built a museum. We thought this would take an hour. Two and a half hours later... here we are. This week we're building the Museum of Millennial Culture, deciding which relics deserve to represent millennials forever. Between AOL CDs, Game Boys, Pop-Tarts, Blockbuster, Scholastic Book Fairs, and a shocking amount of debate, we accidentally created the museum we'd all buy a ticket to. Running on 30%.

    I Quit My Job… and My Friends Immediately Lost Their Minds | ADHP S2E5

    I quit my job… and my friends immediately lost their minds. In Episode 5 of ADHP: Adulthood Pending Season 2, Zaga talks about leaving the car industry after 10 years to build ADHP full-time. This is the start of the full-time ADHP era: the podcast, the live streams, the 30%ers, the merch, the guests, the creator program, and the community we’re trying to grow from the ground up. Nick and @copperhead347 are here for the conversation, which means this emotional life update immediately turns into support, yelling, roasting, and total ADHP chaos. Copper is back this week, and if you know @copperhead347 from TikTok, yes, this is the episode where he returns to ADHP. He may have 2.2 million followers, but on this show, he is still getting roasted for disappearing into the woods, having dial-up internet energy, and growing a mustache at the speed of government paperwork. This episode is about betting on yourself, leaving a stable job, taking a creative risk, protecting your health, and trying to build something bigger than a podcast. It is also about Comic-Con, Salem, Twilight, fake corporate titles, Blackstone griddles, Copper’s mustache, Nick being spicy, and the episode falling apart in real time. Welcome to the full-time ADHP era. Same chaos, better decisions. In this episode: - Zaga talks about quitting his job to build ADHP full-time - Nick and @copperhead347 react to the decision - Copper returns to the show - The boys talk about taking risks, leaving corporate America, and betting on yourself - ADHP starts shifting from podcast to community-driven creator brand - The 30%ers become even more important to the future of the show - Comic-Con, Salem, cosplay, and the full ADHP cast meetup get discussed - Copper’s mustache gets attacked from every direction - Zaga talks about health, back pain, working from home, and rebuilding his life - The ADHP Creator Program starts taking shape - Fake corporate titles are assigned because apparently this is a company now - The episode completely falls apart, which means it is functioning exactly as intended Comment below: What is the biggest risk you have ever taken on yourself? And if you’re one of the 30%ers, tell us what you want ADHP to become next. If you support the show, the biggest thing you can do right now is share this episode with one person who is running on 30% and still showing up. --- Follow ADHP 🎙️ Podcast: ADHP: Adulthood Pending 📺 YouTube: @ADHPSHOW 📲 Instagram: @ADHPSHOW 🎮 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/adulthoodpending 💬 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/guMbYn3jjp 🛒 Merch: https://adulthoodpending-shop.fourthwall.com/ --- Want to be a guest on ADHP?

    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.
