What’s green, pink, and red?

Duh, it’s the cultural phenomenon of 2025! Join us as we briefly chat about Wicked before diving into our thoughts on whether the RedNote will make a real cultural or even political impact.

FYI: This episode was filmed at the start of the year during the TikTok takedown, so it’s a bit of a late topic—but it offers a fascinating look at what might’ve happened if the TikTok world had stuck to its guns.

Some people kick off their year as soon as they return from holiday, while others, like us, prefer to start after the Lunar New Year. So, we’re officially welcoming the third season of 30, What Now?!

This season, we’re revisiting the idea of New Year’s resolutions—but with a twist. Instead of focusing on goals, we’re diving into something deeper: What’s your New Year’s intention?

Sure, we’re a bit behind the usual January rush, but it’s never too late to reset. If you feel like your year hasn’t really started yet, this episode is for you.

Join us as we kick things off by chatting about our current obsessions, and then dive into the big question: What’s your New Year’s intention?

In this episode, we (Josh and I) dive into three totally unexpected yet oddly satisfying topics! First, we explore the soothing world of ASMR. Then, we nerd out over the latest movie adaptation. And finally, we chat about the quirky, icky, juice but real dynamic of work spouses.

Whether you’re a fan of ASMR, a movie buff, or have a work husband/wife of your own, this episode is packed with fun, laughs, and maybe even a little confusion to keep you on your toes!

But the most important question we have for you is: Do you have a work spouse/ how do you feel about having a work spouse?

In this solo episode, Mel dives deep into the complexities of the 2024 presidential race from the perspective of an Australian millennial. As Donald Trump aims for a second term, we reflect on the hopes and ideals that defined the Obama years—when optimism ran high and change seemed possible. What happened to that vision, and how have things shifted in the years since?

We explore the "bratification" of Kamala Harris, examining how the vice president's public persona has evolved and the power social media plays in political campaigns.

Finally, we take a closer look at how Trump’s presidency are shaping key issues that matter most to millennials: from climate change and healthcare to social justice and economic inequality.

Join Mel for a candid conversation about the crossroads facing America in 2024, and what millennials are hoping (or dreading) for in the years to come.
