- 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?
