  • Vibe is BRAT, BRAT is Vibe - Our 2024 Year in Review and Gift Exchange!
    Dec 18 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Join us for our last show of 2024! We do our annual gift exchange a little differently this year by getting non-Secret Santa presents for each other. Get ready for all the wholesome vibes, we knocked it out of the park this year! To put a bow on 2024 (does it deserve a bow?) we recount the top stories of the year in terms of news, pop culture, and more. Kamala's brat summer fell out of a coconut tree and surprised and delighted us all - for a brief 100 day window, we were vibing in the context in which we exist.

  • Luigi Mangione Suffered, and a CEO Paid; The Holiday 'It' Toys That Made Us
    Dec 11 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! We want to keep things light going into the holidays, but the world is still on fire, so we have to acknowledge the viral story of the manhunt for Luigi Mangione, the murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO. The internet's reacting in a way we expected, but where should we draw the line? In our penultimate episode of the year, we're getting into the holiday spirit by revisiting the "it" toys of our childhood. What were some all time favorite toys we got as kids? Furby, a bike, and American Girl dolls! Tamagotchi, Polly Pockets, and Beanie Babies were huge so many millennials. Too bad we got scammed on thinking Beanie Babies would be valuable lol. In our look back, we also pay homage to those toys that were recalled for safety reasons: the Cabbage Patch SnackTime Kid and Sky Dancers. RIP you two, you weren't a 90s kid if you didn't get your fingers chomped by the Cabbage Patch SnackTime kid, or hit in the face by a Sky Dancer. What crazy lengths did parents go to to acquire the "it" toy of the year pre-internet? Healing our inner child: what gift would we get for our younger selves that we never got? This week's recommendations are very timely! Hit your nearest holiday pop up bar with friends (Pam), Mighty Patches to address that blemish before you're forced to take a million pics at the holidays (Andrew), and signing up for a 2025 healthcare plan by 12/15 if you don't already have coverage (Laura). Interested in supporting #Millennial? We are a listener supported show, and can only do weekly releases thanks to the amazing listeners who subscribe to our Patreon or make a purchase at our Official Merch Store! And in this week's installment of After Dark: Hoping to have a cute first date over the holidays? Look no further! We've got advice, and even share our own stories of going on good dates. Andrew's first date with Pat was chaperoned, but they got a first date picture out of the deal! Is it cool or cringe to have a "spot" to take all your first dates? Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Am I A Creep For Winking At Random People? And More Confessionals
    Dec 4 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real listener feedback talk! But first: Joe Biden pardons his son Hunter, and South Korea's President declares martial law for a few hours... what do you think the maga crowd is most upset about? Oxford and Dictionary.com have revealed their 2024 words of the year: Let's give it up for "brain rot" and "demure." Who did it best? Don't forget to check out our new merch store, shop.millennialshow.com! We got cute, comfy hoodies, tees, whiskey glasses, and more! What unique shopping plans do listeners have this holiday season? Laura is trying to decrease her dependence on Amazon, and turned to the #Millennial community for help! Craft fairs, makers markets, Etsy, environmentally sustainable brands like Good.store and Earth Hero are among some of this year's top contenders! We didn't miss out on the general feedback or political feedback either! The #Millennial Confessional is back this week too: is winking at random people weird? Are we giving enough kudos to our postal workers? What to do about bailing on friends? This week's recommendations will keep you nice and entertained on these cold evenings: 'Everything I Need I Get From You: How Fangirls Created The Internet As We Know It' by Kaitlyn Tiffany (Pam), Azul (Andrew), and 'DanDaDan' on Netflix (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Is gift giving necessary to enjoy this time of year? No. Do people still find a way to create drama around it? Yes. There's always that person who ruins Secret Santa and White Elephant for everyone by not being thoughtful with their gift! If someone tells you your gift is on the way but it never arrives, was there ever really a gift to begin with? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
