    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Tired of the gloomy news cycle? Take a break and listen to our official 2024 gift guide episode! NEW: Be sure to check out our new Merch Store, and Patreon subscriptions can now be given as gifts! Pam gives a spoiler free review of 'Wicked,' and we opine on whether or not singing in movie theaters is acceptable... We've got some top notch recommendations for every gift giving category! Self-care, Smart Home, Household Goods, Experiences, and more! We decide on what passive aggressive gifts we'd get for EACH OTHER. Pam totally slays and Andrew is kinda triggered. Who doesn't love a good gag gift? (And who wants to bet Andrew is going to get Laura a passive aggressive knock knock pad to keep up with Slack messages? Our Patrons deliver as usual and make their own gifting recommendations based on things they've bought and loved in the last year! And in this week's installment of After Dark: We keep the wholesome vibes going and think back to the Christmas gifts that really moved us, from childhood or even adulthood! "Wow Pam way to make my GoldenEye surprise story sound lame!" (Pam is consistently the most thoughtful and wholesome of us.)

    We're Taking a 4-Year Cruise to Avoid the Trump Administration!

    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 usual grifter influence, Jones and his lackeys at the company that produces the supplements he hawks are crying foul over the sale. The Onion plans to shut down Infowars and relaunch it with internet humorists, likely to parody the types of extreme right-wing grifters the Alex Jones model inspires. What could Alex Jones do next - he still has a massive following on his personal social accounts, but his venues are somewhat limited at this point to X and Truth Social. Andrew has a dramatic announcement: he is departing Twitter after 17 years on the platform. Laura plans to too, but not before Andrew attempts to find some problematic tweets. Like many, he has migrated to BlueSky after the election, having had enough of Elon's BS. What to like about BlueSky? It's like Twitter before Twitter became s****y! How long will that last? We're not sure, but we're here to enjoy the ride! If you've left Twitter recently, know you're not alone: daily usage of the app is down in the US and UK, and many hundreds of thousands have departed since Elon Musk acquired the app. This week's recommendations are a grab bag: Scrivener (Pam), Christmas Tree Hugger, and 'Arcane' season 2 on Netflix (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon: Listener Sonia shares a hilarious Minnesota road rage story in light of last week's After Dark. Thanks Sonia! Pam explains one of the lastest TikTok movements, 'underconsumptioncore' where influences are trying to get their followers to buy LESS junk online. Great idea, right? Unfortunately, we are all still easily influenced: we come clean about what we've bought off the TikTok shop, and whether we've been happy or disappointed by what we received.

    Millennials Are Increasingly Liberal, and Gen Z Are More Conservative?!

    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, meaning House Speaker Mike Johnson will need to reach across the aisle to cancel out the crazy freedom caucus in his own party if he wants to get anything done. Get a sneak peak into Trump's cabinet here. What an assortment... On the west coast, CA Governor Gavin Newsom is attempting to bolster his state against the incoming admin's agenda. But how does the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution factor in here? Looking forward, how do we peacefully protest this agenda and maintain our sanity? Lead with kindness, pick 1-2 issue areas you really care about and make that your focus. This week's recommendations are all about self-soothing: Sunrise alarm clock (Pam), Ticket to Ride (Andrew), and outdoor meditation (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Andrew has a Bumble BFF update and the tea is PIPING hot! Are millennials and Gen Z angrier drivers than previous generations? We do tend to be whores for the horn! What are the traffic situations that bring out our road rage? 2/3 of us are definitely bitchy drivers, and as always, Pam is an angel!

    Bad Bunny, The Washington Post, and Our Final 2024 Electoral College Predictions

    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 with large populations of Puerto Ricans in key swing states, this may in fact be an October surprise of the Trump campaign's own doing. 200k people canceled the Washington Post after owner Jeff Bezos killed the editorial board's endorsement of Kamala Harris. Is Bezos hedging his bets just in case Trump wins? Bezos claims the decision was made to protect the newsroom's credibility, but his efforts to simmer the dissatisfaction of WaPo's readers are falling on deaf ears. At the same time that Russian disinformation campaigns put out fake, AI created footage of ballots being destroyed in Pennsylvania, real ballots were being burned in Washington state and Oregon. As expected, Trump and his allies continue to sow the seeds of disinformation and distrust ahead of the election to clear the path for them to contest a result they don't like. What "secret plan" are Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson referring to? To end our coverage on an empowering note, we recommend watching Michelle Obama bring down the house in Michigan over the weekend. We make our own electoral map predictions! Make yours here: https://www.270towin.com/ We won't be releasing a regular episode next Wednesday, but look forward to a BREAKING NEWS style episode release when the victor is called... This week's recommendations are all on theme: Have 866-OUR-VOTE on speed dial if you have trouble voting this week (Pam), a WaPo tool Andrew found handy before he CANCELED his subscription, and remember to pace yourself and not try to stay up all Election night awaiting results (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: One of Andrew's friends ghosted him, and is now looking for new friends in public view. Should Andrew go low or go high here? Have we ever been broken up with by a friend, only for said friend to want us back? Pam's friend breakup eventually realized Pam was a real one, and Laura's friendship breakup merges into MuggleSuck territory! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    What's on State Ballots in 2024?, Spooky Season Nostalgia

    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 choice voting in Nevada?? It's only taken over a century, but several states are just now considering taking language about slavery out of their constitutions... But onto happier subjects: you know we love nostalgia, so we can't pass up the opportunity to talk about 90's Halloween and Spooky Szn culture! What is our personal relationship to Halloween, and why is Laura so obsessed with murder? We draw a connection between trick-or-treating and Andrew's fondness for snagging strangers' hotel room service leftovers. Did 90s parents inspect our Halloween candy mainly as an excuse to sneak in some sweet treats? Andrew will once again be the most popular house in his neighborhood with full size candy bars, so line up kids! We've got a slew of entertainment recommendations this week! 'Agatha All Along' on Disney+ (Pam), Ali Wong's 'Single Lady' standup special on Netflix (Laura), and Mario Party Jamboree! (Andrew) And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts: Pam can’t stop thinking about a Whole Foods Cake being emblematic of the state of the economy.  Why have so many fast food restaurants rolled back their introductions of alternative meat products? Laura can't enjoy Del Taco anymore! Andrew will be rioting at his local Trader Joe's if they do away with his top favorites, so watch out TJs! Learn more about your ad choices.
