Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! It’s chaos, community, and candid conversation on this week’s episode! We kick things off with Eric’s return before diving headfirst into the Dumpster Fire Corner where we're continuing to watch rising gas prices, market whiplash amid escalating tensions with Iran, and a wild SCOTUS ruling on conversion therapy that dropped on Trans Day of Visibility. Then, we shift gears for a powerful and deeply personal main discussion as Eric shares their journey of self-discovery, coming out, and navigating life as a non-binary trans person. From heartfelt family moments to the realities of gender-affirming care and the alarming wave of anti-trans legislation across the U.S., it’s an honest, eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss. Of course, we have only the best recommendations for you inspired by today's discussion: Haus Labs Blush stick (Laura), IT Cosmetics do it all sheer tint face balm foundation (Pam), and Chris Pureka (non-binary singer/songwriter) (Eric). Interested in reaching out to Eric directly to hear more from them?

We're getting really candid (but positive) about the changes we're seeing in our bodies as we get older. Not naming names, but someone on the panel got their first gray hair in an interesting location (and they decided to hold onto it). Tune in to hear who's getting botox next, how we feel about our own signs of aging, and how we've made peace with the inevitable march of time! Learn more about your ad choices.

    ICE Tours Airports, Unhinged Ways People Use ChatGPT, Andrew Says Goodbye

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! Thoughts and prayers to anyone flying this week (sorry Andrew)! This week’s Dumpster Fire Corner takes us straight to the airport chaos you didn’t ask for. With TSA agents working unpaid during the ongoing shutdown and hundreds quitting, wait times are spiraling and now ICE has been deployed to just... stand around? Are they helping or just vibing ominously in groups? It's Andrew's final episode of #Millennial, so we wanted to send him on his way with the most unhinged (and maybe useful) tips and tricks for using the world of AI to his advantage. People are using ChatGPT to win insurance appeals, write obituaries, and decode messy text threads. We also share our own random use cases (seriously, asking chat to look at pictures of dog poop? Ew!) Then, we unpack the rise of “typomaxxing,” where bad spelling is suddenly a power move to prove you’re human. This week's recommendations are important staples! Support independent podcasts (Andrew), Naturium's Glow Getter oil based cleanser (Laura), and getting a 3-in-1 soil tester (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: The Roast of Andrew Sims! Y'all knew we weren't gonna let him get out the door without facing the music. Come one, come all for the airing of #Millennial family grievances one last time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    'Project Hail Mary,' Great Space Movies, and Alien News

    Support #Millennial!⁠⁠⁠ Visit Patreon.com/millennial to get exclusive bonus episodes, live stream access, and more! Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! It’s another week of pretend adulting and real talk as we welcome Eric (!!!) to the show and dive headfirst into the latest Dumpster Fire Corner. From a surprising Republican resignation over the Iran conflict to a leaky White House, rising gas prices, this doesn't look to be the easy in and out President Sundown promised. Then we blast off into a space-themed discussion inspired by Project Hail Mary, breaking down what makes a great space (and space disaster) movie, whether we prefer our sci-fi grounded in reality or pure escapism, and swapping favorites from Gravity to Star Wars. We also touch on the ever-weird “aliens are real” discourse making headlines after former President Obama baited Trump into making sweeping proclamations about releasing all files related to aliens (but not Epstein). This week in recommendations: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Andrew), African exfoliating nets (Laura), no-slip clothes hangers (Pam), and dual-monitor setups, bonus points if you can acquire yours on the cheap through Facebook Marketplace (Eric). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're unpacking Gen Z’s obsession with iPods, the rise of digital minimalism, and whether we’re all secretly craving a low-tech “analogue bag” escape from the chaos. Join us to find out what we'd each carry in our analogue bag to stay entertained on a desert island! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
