#millennial

We recorded this latest installment on International Women's Day, and we kick off the show with a reminder of the importance of intersectional feminism. #Millennial has new artwork, courtesy of Emily Kardamis! What's that thing on the table?? We're (finally) going to be seeing an additional round of stimulus checks, but fewer people will receive them this time. Special thanks to listener Michelle for providing resources about the increase in hate crimes towards AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Americans. Advocacy group Stop AAPI Hate has documented 2,800 cases of anti-Asian hate instances over the course of the pandemic. Read their press release here. Why is there such a gap between the FBI's reporting and the amount of hate-based discrimination experienced? Our WandaVision review is spoiler-free, but Laura recommends re-watching Doctor Strange if you're feeling confused. Tfw when you sit down for the new Tom & Jerry movie on HBO Max, but get part 1 of Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' instead. O

This week we discovered each of us has a catch-phrase?! Listen to find out what they are! Is tipping culture out of control? How do we handle situations where it's unclear whether tipping is appropriate? Andrew shares a recent story. With Johnson & Johnson's vaccine receiving emergency FDA approval, conversations abound about vaccine preferences. Do we have one? Andrew considers a pilgrimage to Gila County, Arizona for a shot at the vaccine. San Diego Comic Con has already canceled its in-person July convention, but will host an in-person event in November. Will we be over the trauma of mandated isolation by then? Laura issues a Cuomo correction, but Gov. Cuomo is still in some shit. A Georgia Tale: Battleground State, Voter Suppression Fuckery. We detail how Georgia Republicans have been for expanding easy access to voting, until they decided they didn't like the way people were voting. A new Equality Act has passed the U.S. House of Representatives, and would enshrine nondiscrimination practices

What's a phrase people say all the time that you hate? We "did a thing" and got feedback LIVE on air! And friend of the show Shane brings some Los Angeles sunshine to the panel this week! It's happening again: people continue to cause destruction by celebrating their unborn babies' genitals via explosion. Do we wish ill on anyone? No. Do we care that Rush Limbaugh died? Also no. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is under fire after the state Attorney General released a report indicating that Cuomo's office underreported the number of COVID-related nursing home deaths. Can we sympathize with his position? Winter Storm Uri has devastated much of the southern and middle United States. Particularly in Texas, where the power grid has been deregulated for two decades because dErEGuLaTiOn MeAnS fREedOm.  As if the human and infrastructure toll wasn't bad enough, consumers are now having to fight power bills for tens of thousands of dollars. Flyin' Cruz, Cancun Cruz, Fled Cruz: how many names can we come up wit

A polar vortex has struck the southern United States and skinny jeans are out. The gang reacts to the fashion trends Gen Z says make us "old." 

Did we all watch the Super Bowl? You know we didn't. But did we have some thirsty moments with those commercials? You know we did. 

We're back-to-back with Micah appearances on #Millennial - he had more to say, so we're here to listen! Kicking off Black History Month right, Stacey Abrams has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize! Who thought we'd ever regret not investing in GameStop? Professor Micah oversees our bastardized explanation of what happened with the stock market last week, and we share our thoughts on responsible investment. Micah sticks to trading on the stalk market in Animal Crossing, and Laura bet a few dollars on Dogecoin. We unpack an unpopular student loan forgiveness opinion from the Confessional, and a multifaceted conversation ensues about how complicated this issue is. Are federal student loans representative of predatory lending by the government? How has our relationship with politics changed over the last few years? We're more critical, more locally focused, and setting more boundaries with our consumption of cable news. Netflix is bringing a "shuffle play" feature to life in early 2021, which will a

Welcome back, Micah! Last time you were on, the pandemic was bad. This time... it's still really bad. Biden week 1 scandals: wears a rolex, has a Peloton, didn't wear a mask at a family-only event... when will the tan suit scandal hit? PSA: Don't feed your dog grain-free food. Andrew laments the parental advice that got him here, and recommends further reading from the American Kennel Club and DogFoodAdvisor.com to make sure your pup is on a healthy diet. Laura and her neighbors are fighting a potential gas station development across the street, but Andrew thinks Laura would love a view of Chevron out her bedroom window. Here we go again: House managers delivered an article of impeachment to the Senate, where the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will happen in the next couple of weeks. President Biden has been busy signing executive orders, including substantive protections for DACA recipients and reversing Trump's transgender ban in the military. Mitch, you're in no position to strongarm anyone

The second week of 2021 wasn't... as bad? Maybe? The Bumble scandal: Andrew believes his photo was stolen to make an imposter account. (Little does he know...) CELEBRATE: your federal student loans will not go into repayment at the end of the month! What's in Biden's $1.9 trillion covid relief package? We go over the deets, and Laura complains about the Democratic infighting already happening. Not content with the amount of whataboutism that's happened so far this year, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) compared inflammatory comments by Robert De Niro, Kathy Griffin, and Madonna to the actual armed insurrection perpetuated by Trumpian, white supremacist terrorists. WTF News makes its 2021 debut: the Trump admin lied about having vaccines in reserve, taxpayers have been paying $3,000 a month for Javanka to refuse use of bathroom facilities to their Secret Service detail, women on Bumble have been conservative catfishing to identify and turn in insurrectionists, and members of Congress may have lead "reconnaissance

We're back! 2021 is already a wash, so we'll see you next year. Kidding... kind of. Over the last couple of weeks, 2020 was put behind us, the internet fell in love with Bridgerton, Trump successfully found voter fraud (his own), Georgia got the redemption arc it deserves, and we came close to a coup. #America Laura finally listened to Folklore and Evermore, Pam finally met her niece, and Andrew heard some of the latest MAGA conspiracy theories. A Confessional writer asks if they should care that they burned bridges with their friend's racist husband. NOPE. We revisit the attack by white supremacist terrorists on our nation's Capitol in light of new details. To hear our initial reactions when the story was breaking, click here. As if the scene wasn't horrifying enough, recent details indicate that the Capitol was intentionally under-protected, and some members of law enforcement participated in the attack. How should the Biden administration and 117th Congress respond to this act of domestic terror?

It's the season 6 finale of #Millennial, and you know what that means! Secret Santa, a year in review, and a look ahead to 2021. Andrew reminds us that each year has been worse than the one that preceeded it, so... buckle up. Laura recounts the experience of her self-administered COVID-19 test and does not recommend. We used Cameo for this year's Secret Santa exchange and the results are GOLD. New #Millennial tradition? A #Millennial Year In Review: all the shit you remember, plus a few surprise reminders of things that did happen this year, even though they feel like a million years ago. We each make one 2021 prediction, and we're (mostly) optimistic in our forcasting. In our final Joementum update of 2020, Newsmax doesn't want to be sued, Laura complains about the lack of focus on Russian cyberattacks, Pence's "Guardians," and please for the love of God vote in the January 5th runoff if you're registered to vote in Georgia! Pence got penetrated by the COVID vaccine on camera. Did he get Mother's p

After six agonizing weeks, the election is finally over. We don't expect Orange Julius to admit it though, so let's gather 'round for some catharsis as we near the end of this dumpster fire of a year. Taylor Swift 2020 album releases: 2 -- Government stimulus checks: 1(?)

We're back and over the turkey hangover, and boy, has a lot happened while we've been off! Andrew makes his case for why sharing a Spotify account is a bad idea. For once, they can't blame millennials for killing an industry: Warner Bros. has announced all of its 2021 releases will debut on HBO Max to coincide with their theatrical release dates. Elliot Page announced that he is trans in a heartfelt letter shared on his social media. We're so proud of and happy for Elliot! Pam and Laura give their spoiler-free take on Netflix's Selena: The Series as lifelong fans of the late Tejana star. In Joementum 2021 and sad Trump attempts to steal the election, more bad news for the Trumpster: Attorney General Bill Barr says there's no evidence to overturn the result of the election, AND he's considering stepping down soon. Sad! Georgia, you can request your absentee ballot here, and early voting for the Senate runoff begins on December 14th! History has its eye on us, so let's flip this bish! Rudy Giuliani pi

Just in time for Thanksgiving: Twitter launches FLEETS, Rudy Giuliani melts on live television, and Barack Obama's A Promised Land drops. Taboo word of the week is back! This week's taboo word: Biden. How are we all handling Thanksgiving this year? While the panel tries to plan a safe and enjoyable holiday, we're

As we slowly transition away from needing to worry about what the President is tweeting every day, we've got a mixed bag of stories for you this week! Our "Greetings from 2020" shirts have begun hitting BAE Patrons' mailboxes, and they look great! Share a pic of your shirt on social using #Greetingsfrom2020. RIP Trump Voter Fraud hotline, we wished you'd lived to see another day of trolling.

CEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES... COME ON! It's been a long four years and a long election week, but we are finally here! Join us for our post-election analysis and rejoicing! It started with a red mirage... and ended with a very blue assist from mail-in ballots. How did we react to Saturday's news? Celebratory screaming and... napping? STOP. THE. COUNT. but also COUNT. THE. VOTES. Thank you to all the election workers who put themselves at risk to make sure all of our votes were counted! Trump and the GOP are still refusing to acknowledge the outcome of the election, and multiple legal avenues are being considered by Bunker Bitch to fight the will of the people. We prank call Trump's voter fraud reporting hotline. We owe a debt of gratitude to people of color, PARTICULARLY BLACK WOMEN! Millennials were disappointing in 2016, and not much better in 2020. Thankfully, Gen Z turned out to show us how it's done. Another highlight: Laura's home state of Georiga flipped BLUE!  Now, it's onto Georgia's January

The big day is here. Election Day 2020 has commenced - whether you've already voted or are in line to vote, we're glad you're here. If you have any questions or concerns today, please call the Voter Protection Hotline at 866-687-8683 or the Voter Assistance Line at 833-336-8683.  What we're doing today: drinking and deciding what kind of comfort food to have ready. Let's do something stupid to get us through this: the New York Times wonders if you can tell the difference between a Trump voter and a Biden voter based on the inside of their fridge. Can you? Andrew brings back Laura's Rage of the Week™ to complain about people traveling frivilously and without regard to the pandemic. In what we hope is one of the final Trumpster Fire segments, David Purdue called off his final debate with Jon Ossoff, the U.S. has surpassed 9 million coronavirus cases, Trump caravans, and the Texas GOP was smacked down when they tried to invalidate 127,000 votes in Harris County. A Confessional from the generation we thin

It's our last episode before the election! We know this campaign has been exhausting, so we've got some lighter content to look forward to, along with our final thoughts about the importance of being counted in this election. VOTE! Our Borat: Subsequent Movie Film review: offensive and hilarious. Just when we'd all forgotten about Quibi, we learned it's shutting down. BAE level Patrons: our 2020 physical gift is here, check it out! We're joined by Rebekah from Modern Mystic Shop to do a live tarot reading for ourselves and our listeners! Big

As of this episode, we have all officially voted! Do you want us to be able to change out Trump's screaming face for sunglasses Joe? Get out and vote and make it happen! Laura became THAT paranoid pet owner, and Pam became THAT person who forgot her mask. As promised, we deliver dramatic readings of our bitchy Yelp reviews. Some of us are bitchier than others.

Happy "Fuck Christopher Columbus" Day everyone! We're kicking off the show with a focus on how we're voting, and the reveal that one of our panel has already voted! Can you guess who? Thankfully, Disney+ won't be giving the Mulan treatment to 'Soul,' which will release on 12/25 at no additional cost! In darker news, the FBI thwarted an attempt to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan by a group of 45 apologists. Trump's doctor has cleared him to return to public engagements, but recent interviews are making us all question his health. In a first for our lifetimes, there will not be three Presidential debates. Trump's refusal to participate in a virtual debate should have us all further questioning his readiness to lead. If the GOP wanted to prioritize another stimulus package before the election, could they actually make it happen? There's no doubt this pandemic has been a shit show, but we want to highlight the products, media, and food that is getting us through this! Since Yelp is reported

The powers of science and karma combined last week to make Andrew think (maybe) there is a God. The toddler in chief has the 'rona, and we're here for some real talk on what this means for the country and our upcoming election. The timeline here is insane: from a Tuesday night debate to a Wednesday night COVID positive announcement. The 11 confirmed cases so far seem to have one gathering in common: The Amy Coney Barrett announcement event in the Rose Garden. Inconsistency and petulance took up residence at Walter Reed military hospital for 3 days, after which Bunker Bitch checked himself out and is feeling better than *GASP* ever. He is knowingly putting his staff, Secret Service detail, and followers in danger by returning to the campaign trail as if he never tested positive. Laura thinks the Trump campaign's approach for the rest of the campaign will be to go full North Korean "dear leader is invincible." How do we think Biden should handle the October 15th debate? Is it okay to feel vindicated b
