Adulthood Pending

Copper’s back for the first time since May 2025, and somehow… adulthood is still exhausting.

In this episode, Copper rejoins the chaos after months away, Nick immediately starts spiralling, and the conversation turns into exactly what you would expect: burnout, money stress, adult responsibilities that never end, and the realization that nothing actually slows down just because life happens.

We talk about coming back after time away, feeling permanently tired, the mental load of being an adult, groceries that never stop costing money, and why “just keep pushing” might be the worst advice millennials were ever given.

No big reunion speech. No inspirational comeback story. Just three adults picking up right where they left off and complaining like professionals.

If you’re in your late 20s or 30s and constantly feel like life is one long to-do list, this one’s for you.

At some point, adulthood quietly taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey… maybe don’t do that anymore.”

In Episode 39, we accidentally stumble into a very real conversation about all the things millennials are officially too old for. It starts with weekly crises, questionable food choices, and hot dog steamers… and slowly turns into a full breakdown of physical stupidity, social exhaustion, lifestyle delusions, and why everyone online suddenly thinks they’re an expert.

We talk about:
– Gas station food and ageing bodies
– Staying up late and paying for it for three days
– Blackout drinking and why it stopped being funny
– Crowded bars, bar hopping, and overstimulation
– Ignoring injuries and pretending you’re fine
– Being told you’re “too old” to enjoy things you actually love
– Online misinformation, fake expertise, and confidence with zero research

This isn’t advice.
This isn’t self-help.
It’s just millennials realising the consequences hit harder now.

Welcome to adulthood. Nobody warned us it would feel like this.

Episode 38 of Adulthood Pending is completely unplanned—and somehow that makes it one of the most honest episodes we’ve done.

No outline. No topic. Just two millennials catching up, spiralling, venting, and accidentally dropping adulthood advice along the way.

In this episode, Zaga and Nick talk about:

• what happens when you record with zero plan
• meal prep, leftovers, and why adult lunches feel sad
• credit cards, money habits, and learning adulthood the hard way
• why physical media (DVDs & Blu-rays) quietly disappeared
• work exhaustion, routines, and post-holiday reality
• movies, nostalgia, and the comfort of familiar chaos
• a Weekly Crisis that turns into a full vent session
• Nick Doesn’t Get It, where Nick confidently explains nonsense
• a game that proves we are, in fact, getting older

This is what Adulthood Pending sounds like when we stop trying and just talk.
If adulthood feels like you’re winging it most days… yeah, same.

Nobody told us adulthood was a full-time job.

No onboarding. No training manual. No HR department. Just vibes, bills, and constant maintenance.

In this episode of Adulthood Pending, Zaga and Nick break down the unspoken truth of being a millennial adult:

nothing ever finishes, everything needs attention, and somehow you’re always the backup plan.

From forgotten subscriptions and never-ending bills to the invisible mental load nobody warned us about, this episode is basically a performance review for adulthood itself. We talk money stress, health maintenance, relationships, admin hell, and why feeling productive doesn’t always mean feeling accomplished.

Plus:

• A truly unhinged Nick Doesn’t Get It

• A painfully relatable Weekly Crisis

• A game of Adult or Absurd that spirals fast

• And a Tito-style closer to remind you that if you’re tired… you’re probably doing it right

If you’ve ever felt like adulthood is just nonstop follow-ups with no finish line, this one’s for you.

New year. Same chaos. Same unresolved issues.Because if January magically fixed people, therapists would be out of work and gyms would be empty by February.In this episode of Adulthood Pending, we tear into the lie of New Year’s resolutions, call out fake “healing eras,” and admit that most of us are just recycling the same problems with a new calendar.We talk:Why January feels hostile for no reasonThe gym resolution pipeline (January confidence → February absence)“Protecting my peace” vs actually changing anythingWhy you do NOT need January 1st to start your lifeAnd how the moon, stars, and vibes absolutely do control the new year (according to Nick, who definitely understands science)This one’s for anyone who entered the new year tired, broke, self-aware, and still trying anyway.Welcome to adulthood.

Christmas is supposed to be joyful.
Instead, it turns fully grown adults into stressed-out, passive-aggressive maniacs arguing over gift bags, traditions, and why ONE Christmas light strand never works.

In this Christmas Day episode of Adulthood Pending, Zaga breaks down why the holidays bring out the absolute worst versions of otherwise normal people — from Christmas dictators and last-minute chaos shoppers to over-gifters, nostalgia police, and the people who mysteriously disappear during cleanup.

This episode spirals quickly and includes:

• A Christmas edition of Weekly Crisis

• A wildly unhinged Nick Doesn’t Get It segment that somehow involves Christmas lights and government conspiracies

• A long round of Normal or Unhinged?

• A Tito Time that wraps the chaos into an actual adult life lesson

• And a couple unexpected appearances you’ll want to stick around for 👀

If Christmas makes you tired, overstimulated, broke, or questioning humanity… congrats.
You’re normal.

🎄 Merry Christmas
🎁 Happy Holidays

Zaga and Nick break down why December stopped being magical and started feeling like a tactical mission just to make it out alive. From navigating family chaos and PTO guilt to surviving Secret Santas, relationship stress, and social battery burnout, this episode turns holiday dread into organised comedy.

There are unhinged takes.
There is real advice.
There is yelling.
There is growth.
And yes, Santa is absolutely laundering cartel money through stockings.

We cover:
• Why adulthood was not built for December
• Weekly Crisis returns with physical, financial, and emotional damage
• PTO guilt and why you should take the damn day off
• How to survive family without losing your sanity
• Secret Santa in a recession era
• Being hard to shop for without becoming annoying
• Regifting rules that actually make sense
• Relationship juggling during the holidays
• Holiday expectations vs adult reality
• Social battery emergency kits
• Irish Goodbyes, Ninja Goodbyes, and dog-based escapes
• Nick Doesn’t Get It: The dark lore of Santa and stockings
• Holiday Hot Takes Court
• Tito Time: why December feels like a final boss fight

If your holidays feel less like magic and more like vibes + peppermint survival, you’re in the right place.

December used to hit different. As kids, Christmas movies told us adulthood would be magical, cozy, and full of perfectly lit trees and life-changing moments.

Now? We’re just trying to not blow a fuse, max out a credit card, or fight a stranger over wrapping paper.

In this episode, Zaga and Nick break down the Christmas movies that straight-up LIED to us about being adults. From Home Alone’s millionaire parents, to Elf pretending corporate America is whimsical, to Santa casually committing identity fraud… we’re exposing every cinematic scam the holidays sold us.

We’re laughing, spiraling, roasting childhood nostalgia, and facing the fact that December is basically a survival sport now.

If you’re a millennial drowning in holiday chaos, welcome home.

This episode is pure December delusion from the very first “Black Friday ain’t Black Friday anymore.”

Zaga and Nick fall straight into a nostalgic wormhole, ripping apart the modern holiday season and remembering when December actually felt magical — before adulthood turned it into a month-long invoice.

Black Friday used to be combat training:
Parents drawing tactical maps, assigning “units,” circling ads like they were planning a heist, and treating Walmart like the Thunderdome.
Now?
It’s just emails, fake sales, and a toaster that’s $3 off.

From Tickle Me Elmo war crimes to razor scooter shin injuries, this episode resurrects every chaotic childhood Christmas memory — and every millennial disappointment that came after.

In between the holiday PTSD, you get:
• Nick’s birthday lore, including the Comic Book Blood Pact of 2024
• Stranger Things spiral (light spoilers, heavy opinions)
• Why adulthood has turned December into a chore chart
• The death of real toys and the rise of “bro I just want towels now”

If you ever froze outside Toys R Us for a GameBoy SP and now get excited over new pots and pans… this one will hurt and heal you at the same time.

December used to slap.
Now it taxes your soul.

This episode is pure Thanksgiving chaos from the very first insulted potato.

Zaga and Nick jump straight into the Thanksgiving Food Draft, unleashing every unhinged opinion they’ve been holding in all year. From instant mashed potatoes being classified as a war crime to debating whether lasagna has a place on a holiday plate, nothing is safe and no dish gets treated kindly.

Turkey rankings turn into NFL comparisons.

Mac and cheese becomes a spiritual battleground.

Texas Roadhouse frozen rolls start a conspiracy.

And somehow… “pink stuff” becomes the emotional core of the episode.

In between all the food violence, you get real adulting moments: therapy wins, family traditions, growth, boundaries, and the annual millennial grocery shopping panic.

If your plate is weak, your feelings will get hurt.
