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

    How To Fight Time Changes and Seasonal Blues

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠https://shop.millennialshow.com⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! Trump and Israel's war on Iran isn't going well. There's mixed messages, rising gas prices, and Trump just admitted he doesn't know enough info about anything. Oh, and it's been confirmed that America bombed a school and killed over 100 girls. Is this the America voters wanted? Meanwhile, the clocks have changed in America, and rather than complaining about how much the time change sucks, we're striving to help you transition easier with each time change going forward (Let's be honest: Lawmakers aren't going to fix this for us). We look at best practices for jumping forward without feeling groggy, and offer some practical tips on how you can conquer winter blues (Pam's a big fan of alarm clocks that recreate the sunrise!). Plus, we talk about SAD Lamps... but why are we calling them SAD? That sounds a little... sad... Later, we look at if sleep tracking apps can help us conquer time changes and jet lag. Then of course there's always the medicine front - Andrew shares that he recently starting taking Wellbutrin, which can be used to take seasonal depression. This week's recs: Andrew's Favorite Things returns with Slow Closing Toilet Seats, Pam recommends a cheaper sunrise alarm clock before getting a more expensive one (like the Hatch), and Laura recommends the new HBO Max show DTF St. Louis.

    An Announcement From Andrew, and The Next Heated Rivalry
    Mar 4 2026
    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! The Dumpster Fire Corner is in full blaze mode this week. We break down the potential Paramount takeover of Warner Bros. and why the Larry Ellison–Trump connection has media watchers sweating, especially with CBS News, CNN, HBO, and the future of bold LGBTQ storytelling hanging in the balance. Then: Trump and Netanyahu launch “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran, civilian casualties mount, oil prices teeter at the Strait of Hormuz, and the vibes are giving strong Iraq War flashbacks. TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE. After, Andrew has an announcement to share about his role on the show going forward. More in the episode! Plus, we dive into HBO’s breakout hit Heated Rivalry: why it worked, why the yearning hit so hard, whether Hollywood will learn the right lessons, and how it’s literally boosting National Hockey League ticket sales. But does the NHL deserve all these new queer fans? We discuss. This week's recommendations are just a click away if you're ordering online! Flip 7: With a Vengeance (Andrew), Halovida dry shampoo gel (Laura), and Clipa bag hanger (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Patrons submitted their “final questions" for Andrew in light of his upcoming departure from #Millennial. We're getting reflective, grateful, and just a little unhinged. Plus some never before heard behind the scenes tea. It's giving deathbed confessions! Learn more about your ad choices.
