On this week’s episode: in a plot twist we all saw coming, Trump’s tariffs are hurting markets globally, and we’re all crying into our retirement accounts. We cover a range of feedback topics from listeners, including a professor’s take on ChatGPT, an inspiring fitness journey through consistency, and a dire warning from a true crime junkie that Andrew is setting himself up to be the subject of a Dateline Special. We’re also talking the state of the economy and how all of this market volatility is continuing to affect prices of everyday goods and services. Later, A recent Reddit thread inspires us to dig in on what tactics millennials are exercising in order to stretch our budgets while the market crashes out (just like our mental health lmao). Some are leaning into the age-old tradition of moving in with family (they don’t call us the boomerang generation for nothing), having roommates, and cutting or splitting subscriptions. Others have turned to unorthodox means, like starting hemp companies to buy products in bulk to sell.
As always, don’t sleep on this week’s recommendations: Support your local record store on Record Store Day this Saturday 4/12 (Pam), ‘Mid-Century Modern’ on Hulu (Andrew), and checking out our coverage of ‘The Last of Us’ on What the Hype?! ahead of the season two premiere (Laura).
And in this week’s installment of After Dark: Follow up on tea that Andrew can only share in our podcasting safe space. Plus, we’re talking about the viral “Group Chat” skit series happening on TikTok, which makes us reminisce on our own group chat drama. And don’t we all have that friend who can’t go anywhere without their significant other?
