Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

'Don't Fact Check Me!' Reacting to the Vance v Walz VP Debate

Listen Later
  • Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real DEBATE talk!
  • We're coming to you on the heels of the (most likely) final debate of the 2024 Presidential campaign. And we got served a decidedly... cordial debate performance. It's like we got in a time machine and transported to pre-Trump America.
  • Don't get it twisted: JD Vance did a very good job of seeming rational and reasonable, but his record is anything but.
  • Walz had more opportunity to play the attack dog, but Laura thinks with everything happening in the world right now, both campaigns may have been playing it safe with this debate.
  • Do debates actually move the needle anymore? Nah.
  • 'Sometimes it's just the guns' SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!
  • JD Vance is being forced to sound reasonable on abortion, but don't forget what he actually wants to do.
  • Need a break from politics? We've got you covered with this week's recommendations. 'Uzumaki' on Adult Swim/HBO Max (Laura), 'Nobody Wants This' on Netflix (Pam), and Andrew's PSAs: US passports can now be renewed online and the US government is once again offering free at home COVID tests.


    • And in this week's installment of After Dark:

    • HOTTOGO singer Chappell Roan has been in hot water over the last week over her both sidesism on the upcoming election. 
    • Do celebrities have a responsibility to take sides in an election? Why did Chappell Roan feel the need to make any political statement without proper media training?
    • Why do we give some celebs a pass on speaking out politically, but demand it from others? And why do we care what they think?
