Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are millennials. Not by choice, they were born that way. This is a special week for The Garbage Barge as we introduce Millennial Week! On this episode, we’re taking on the economic and societal factors that are responsible for Millennials finding themselves in the unique position they have of, apparently, ruining all the things and being the worst. At least, that’s what every Millennial think piece author would have you think! Colin and Candice are here to defend the good name of the betrodden Millennial. And definitely don’t miss this week’s Strug Boat – we’re eulogizing the industries we’ve murdered.

EPISODE NOTE: We made a script error, definitely due to much Aperol. At roughly 08:11, it is accidentally said that “[Millennials] take longer to pay back debt that anyone younger than us”. We meant to say older than us, sorry for any confusion! This scripting error was brought to you by Candice Chetta and Aperol spritzers.
