  • How to Form Deeper Friendships, Why Does Gen Z Do 9/11 Memes?

    How to Form Deeper Friendships, Why Does Gen Z Do 9/11 Memes?
    Sep 18 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and nothing but love for Taylor Swift, Haitian migrants, and geese. Is your calendar the secret to fostering deeper friendships? The NYTimes (and Andrew) think so! It seems simple enough - a standing coffee date, joining a sports league or a book club. But why do so many of us struggle to make these commitments? We discuss some ways to make planning an event with a large group easier, like using a scheduling app for availability, instagram polls in DMs, or just making plans and inviting anyone who wants to come rather than trying to cater to a bunch of scheduling needs. If so many of us are lonely, why do we struggle so much to make friend dates happen? Laura has a Bumble BFF update for us, and a reminder that we should all be conscious of not wasting others' time! Apparently for certain Gen Z'ers, 9/11 has become a popular internet meme. WHY? People have been processing traumatic events with dark humor since the beginning of time, but why are these memes crossing a line? We chat about how weird it is that people just a few years younger than us don't remember 9/11 - and it's probably why it's easier for some to be desensitized to it. Do the annual memorials and replaying of the same footage over and over play a part in desensitizing us to the horrors of that day? Read. the. room. We've got some solid recommendations for y'all this week: Frank Turner's latest album 'Undefeated' (Laura), SpotHero (Pam), and Zero app (Andrew). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Time to judge each other on our morning routines (or lack thereof). Andrew is not prioritizing enough time for HIMSELF in the mornings! Pam has the most durable, instagram-worthy morning routine. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Hide Your Cats and Dogs: Analyzing the Kamala Harris v Donald Trump Debate

    Hide Your Cats and Dogs: Analyzing the Kamala Harris v Donald Trump Debate
    Sep 11 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real DEBATE talk! Starting this week we're releasing video episodes on YouTube! Subscribe and watch us each week! We're coming to you right after Tuesday night's Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and boy, was that a doozy. It began with Kamala establishing dominance by forcing a handshake, and it all went downhill from there. We kept a running list of the best and worst moments of the debate, but one of our favorite takeaways of the night was ABC's moderators fact checking Trump's lies on the spot. FINALLY! In Trump dystopian fantasy world, undocumented migrants are taking over our cities and... eating peoples' pets? Kamala really gets under the orange guy's skin by bringing his crowd sizes and engagement into question, and that's where he really starts to flip. Trump used immigration as his pivot topic for... pretty much everything. FOX News called, they want their talking points back! "Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people and he's having a hard time processing that." How are we feeling about how things stand with the Presidential race post-debate? Kamala killed it, but Trump is playing a different game than traditional politics. Will this debate move the needle further out of his favor? The next debate will be between Tim Walz and JD Vance on Tuesday 10/1, so we'll see you for more debate coverage soon! This week's recommendations: get your updated flu and covid shots if eligible (Laura), Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice cold brew concentrate (Pam), and Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, the card game (Andrew). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Let's talk strategies to be safe and sane for the rest of the election season. How will we be voting - in person, or absentee? Let's recap where we were when the election was called for Biden in 2020, and make predictions about how long it will take to get results this time. Is it worth it to pay much attention to the media and polling? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Adult Version of Learning Santa's Not Real

    The Adult Version of Learning Santa's Not Real
    Aug 28 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real relaxed end of summer talk! Check out last week's LIVE episode recorded at Podcast Movement in Washington DC! Time is running out: if you want to receive this year's physical gift (The 'M-Word Cloud' t-shirt), sign up at the BAE level or higher by September 6th. "Instead of crying in the club, I cry in the gym now." How Kamala Harris's DNC speech got us even MORE hype for her candidacy (is that even possible??) We said we're doing an easy end of the summer show and we meant it: this week, we're grabbing some of our favorite askreddit questions and posing them to each other and our Patrons! "What is the adult version of finding out Santa isn't real?" "Not getting a tax refund because you're claimed as a dependent by someone else." We'll be bookmarking this episode to look back on in 10 years to see if our future goals pay off! Let's get petty and talk about our pettiest of pet peeves! We're all haunted by cringe memories that our asshole brains like to bring up, what are ours? What superstitions do we believe in/adhere to? "If you saw something, no you didn't." Small but mighty recommendations list this week: the Haus Labs Glassy Blush Balm Stick (which doubles as a lip balm!) (Laura) and 'Degrees of Engagement' by Jennifer Hennessy (plus our What the Hype?! Smut episode where Jennifer guest-hosted with us!) (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: F*ck it, Pam and Laura haven't had time to catch up in a bit, let's do it live! Somehow we begin this conversation with bloodwork and mammograms, and end with talking about that sweet, sweet herb that is shaking ballot boxes around the country. Learn more about your ad choices.
