  • Summary

  • Giving Up is the podcast where three aging Millennials talk about giving up: surrendering to the inexorable march of time and their inevitable demise. Each week we talk about why the world is mad at us and then we vote on who has the most interesting topic to talk about as it relates to our generation's unique spot as people who grew up with the internet but still remembers what life was like before it. Fueled by (un)diagnosed ADHD we cover a range of topics from pop culture, to parenting, generational warfare, and beyond.

    The crew kicks off by trying to figure out who exactly the "Silent Generation" is that segues into a discussion of World War 2. The Thunderdome yields a discussion of Lana Del Rey's new husband and the advice section touches on a very niche concern of restaurant people: what the tipping etiquette is when invited in for a friends and family meal before a new restaurant opens.
