Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

Millennials Admit to Digital Shoplifting; Barnes & Noble Books a Major Comeback

Listen Later
  • Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk!
  • Andrew's better half Pat joins us this week!
  • Forget the Eagles, did we watch Kendrick Lamar dominate at the Super Bowl?
  • We're continuing to watch the first 100 days of the Trump admin, and sadly, we're continuing to report that the admin's approach is to flood the zone with ridiculous, outrageous legislative priorities and patently false information.
  • Andrew's a baddie: confessions of a digital shoplifter, among his other crimes.
  • Are big retailers making it too easy for consumers to take advantage of generous refund policies? What impact does this have on small businesses?
  • To be fair, we're not just throwing Andrew under the bus - we've all used refund policies to our advantage at one point or another.
  • Speaking of big retailers, Barnes & Noble is having a major comeback with its brick and mortar locations!
  • Barnes & Noble will be opening 60 new bookstores in 2025 after years of decline. Their reasoning? #BookTok trends, the loneliness epidemic, and an increasing consumer demand for more third spaces.
  • And of course, we've got recommendations hot off the press for y'all: Bookshop.org, which now offers ebooks in competition with Kindle (Andrew), 'The House in the Cerulean Sea' by TJ Klune (Pat), and downloading a copy of your student aid history at StudentAid.gov if you have federal student loans (Laura).


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

    • We're all in our mid-thirties - is it time for us to get all of our stuff our of mom and dad's house?
    • How do we deal with family members trying to push their shit off on us? I DON'T WANT YOUR CHRISTMAS CHINA, GREAT AUNT MARGE!
    • What do we want done with our stuff when we slip the mortal coil?
