  • Welcome back to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk!
  • Ready to see the 2024 physical gift for BAE+ Patrons? Look no further than the M-Word Cloud Shirt! Become a $10+ Patron by 9/6/24 to be eligible to receive this gift!
  • Introducing Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' running mate and Democratic Vice Presidential candidate! Let the battle of the midwestern VP candidates commence!
  • And honestly, there is no fight to be had here: JD Vance continues to flounder and create headaches for the Trump campaign, while the Democratic base is more energized than ever over our ticket!
  • Is it problematic to refer to Vice President Harris as simply Kamala? A listener perspective.
  • Bet you couldn't have guessed that the most popular streaming app isn't Netflix, MAX, or Disney+ but... Tubi!
  • The free streaming alternative has seen a 46% increase in viewership from a year ago, edging out even Disney+'s viewership.
  • Amidst all other major streamers continuing to announce price increases, Tubi features movies and channels dedicated to popular genres and TV shows. Since it's ad-supported, Tubi has been able to remain a free service. Laura is a pessimist and doesn't think it'll last.
  • We share some of our favorite hacks to save on home entertainment through bundling, threatening to cancel to take advantage of win back offers, and family plans.
  • One of the latest collectors items? Popcorn buckets! And it's not just because of that sexual 'Dune' Sandworm bucket.
  • People collect these tie-in novelties for the same reasons anyone collects anything - the nostalgia and exclusivity!
  • But serious question because some of us live in small spaces: what do you do when you run out of room to display them?
  • Save some money and your peace with this week's recommendations: NameCheap for domains (Andrew), Journaling at night to clear your head (Laura), and 'Big Mood' on Tubi (Pam).


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

    • Surprise Bitch is back, and we're ready to pepper you with some new questions because we're nosy about y'all's lives. Also Andrew really comes with the tear-jerker questions - we promise we'll tag him back with some of these. ;)
    • Getting through the rest of the year one day at a time is such a MOOD!
    • We hear tips, tricks, and good advice a fair bit, but tell us about the WORST advice you've ever gotten.
    • "...hello? OH SHIT!"
