Episode #11×26: Childhood Friends Versus Chosen Family, and More Listener Feedback

Support #Millennial!

This week’s episode is alllll about the listener feedback! From TSA’s new shoe-free policy (PreCheck veterans, this one’s for you) to the unfolding drama around the unreleased Epstein files and MAGA’s internal meltdowns, we break down what’s real, what’s performative, and what it all might mean. Listeners weigh in on everything from NASA budget cuts buried in the Big Ugly Bill, to revenge spells, “buy the bride/birthday boy a drink” Venmo culture, the difference between friends made in school versus friends later in life, and headphone etiquette in public places. Plus, we cover feedback around bookstore protests of a certain children’s book author and ICE’s impact on one teacher’s students.

As always, we’ve got you covered with our best recommendations: “Somebody Feed Phil” on Netflix (Andrew), Naturium’s Glow Getter oil-based body wash (Laura), and Nickle and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America’ by Barbara Ehrenreich (Pam). 

In After Dark, it’s your wildest travel horror stories: pickpockets, $1K flight rebooks, food poisoning, cursed buses, lost luggage, and one especially awkward airport fight. It’s a chaotic ride, but at least you can keep your shoes on now…
