Welcome or welcome back to once in a millennial, a show hosted by four—wait for it—millennials. Yeah, shocking, we know.

Today, you get Megan and Alex!! A special episode with just the gals to chat all things Galentine’s… Kind of… I mean, we did warn you we have ADHD right?

So, join us for a relaxed conversation between friends and we may or may not get to some fun Valentine based questions  or stories- or we may just talk about candy, food and music… 

Gentle reminder… it is okay to take a moment to find the joy in life. Laughter is the best medicine - and we sure had that over this episode. We even had extra laughter when we had to record this episode twice, just to make sure we blessed you with a recording today!

As always, thank you for tuning in and spending your time with us. New episodes twice a week!!

Tony here. Please join us in wishing mine and Megan’s son a very happy first birthday. I composed this letter for the occasion, but somehow words still… seem to fall short of what I’m trying to convey. Finding joy right now is difficult, but for us, this little miracle has been a constant source of happiness and excitement for 365 days. We know it isn't fair to already depend on him so much so soon—especially because we're the adults and he's the baby—but sometimes, that's just what happens. What a privilege it has been to be his dad for a year. I'm so lucky. We're so lucky.

As always, thank you for tuning in and spending your time with us. New episodes twice a week!

Today, Alex is going to read to you an impactful advice article that was written by Jackie Summers. 

The article read was forwarded but originally found on Facebook. (As we are unable to add the link, if you’d like the written text, my best direction is to send you to Substack.)

As always, thank you for tuning in and spending your time with us. New episodes twice a week (as our mental health can handle it)!

Today, you get Mac!!

For the first time, he’s graced us with his very own solo episode. 

We are so honored to have him share his recent face to face encounters with the federal occupation that’s invaded our home.

We are so proud of him in this fight and his call to action to serve and protect not just the children he works with - but all children and community members.
Tune in to hear the love he has for the people of this nation and world. And don’t forget to subscribe! This is just another act of resistance that fuels how we can fight back and support one another.

Today, you get Alex, again. Between schedules being overly hectic and fighting fascism, we’re all just doing our best… so hang tight - we may not be able to promise a consistent routine moving forward as we’re navigating the current climate in Minnesota.

She thought it was fitting to regale you in her experience over the weekend following Alex Pretti’s execution in Minneapolis. 

It’s all a lot. We’re all struggling. Continuing to do our best as we’re able. 

Hold your loved ones closer and don’t stop fighting for a better tomorrow. 

We can all be Pretti Good - by all means, the world needs it.

With lots of love and gratitude. Please stay safe, warm and know we are here for you, always.

Welcome or welcome back to once in a millennial, a show hosted by four—wait for it—millennials. Yeah, shocking, we know.

In today’s episode, Alex breaks down what it is like to be a professional navigating grief. 

She shares how this episode was recorded back on October 1st, 2025, which was her kiddos first birthday since passing.

The importance of today - specifically - for launching this episode, is that it is exactly one year since her kiddo passed away.

We recognize that we cannot survive loss like this alone. Thank you for listening to Alex’s time capsule of love, loss and life.

As always, thank you for tuning in and spending your valuable time with us. New episodes twice a week! Don't forget to subscribe.

Welcome or welcome back to once in a millennial, a show hosted by four—wait for it—millennials. Yeah, shocking, we know.

Today, Alex is feeling the feelings - and provides you with a 30 minute rant.

Life is hard, it’s cold, and it’s busy. Oh and on top of it all, it’s been one year since the Pedo in Office was inaugurated. So here we are.

Sometimes - it is just hard to be an adult. But we move through it - and we constantly do it with community.

Thanks for being our safe community to do just that… even when it comes down to an episode with zero direction and just rambles from one of your hosts.

With lots of love and gratitude. Please stay safe and warm this week!

Welcome or welcome back to once in a millennial, a show hosted by four—wait for it—millennials. Yeah, shocking, we know.

Today's episode is a short one, but an important one at that. This letter is not just a message for our fellow Twin Cities citizens, but for all who are resisting and fighting back against thugs and tyranny in this or any other country.

Fear.

Fear can make us do some really stupid things. It can cripple. It can damage. It can break. It wants us to forget our humanity.

But we are not defined by what we fear. We are instead defined by what we do with that fear and what we turn it into.

Let it motivate you. Let it guide you. Let it propel you forward. And if it makes you angry, then you have every right to be angry.

If you are scared today, that doesn’t mean you are weak. And courage doesn’t mean the fear disappears—it means we refuse to let fear be the only thing in the room.

We hold onto hope not the naive kind, but the kind forged in long winters and longer fights. We know how to love across lines meant to divide us. And we are still here.

And fear—no matter how loud—does not get the final word.

As always, thank you for tuning in and spending your time with us. Love each other. Protect each other. Stand up for those who cannot. We will get through this. Together.

Welcome or welcome back to once in a millennial, a show hosted by four—wait for it—millennials. Yeah, shocking, we know.

Today, we're talking ICE. Again. Because we have to. But instead of just taking a massive sh*t on them—which would be very easy to do—we're talking about knowing your rights when it comes to ICE.

While the odds still favor this not happening, it is absolutely crucial to know what to do if you were taken by ICE. Everyone in the United States has constitutional rights—regardless of immigration status. That includes undocumented immigrants, visa holders, permanent residents—everyone.

Important things to remember:

1. ​ You have the right to remain silent.
2. ​ You do not have to answer questions about where you were born, your immigration status, or how you entered the country.
3. ​ If these a-holes come to your home, they cannot enter without a valid warrant signed by a judge.
4. ​ If you are detained or arrested, you always have the right to speak to a lawyer.
5. ​ Do not ever lie or provide false documents.
6. ​ Do not carry important documents—if they seize those documents, there is no guarantee you'll get them back and then they can do whatever they want with them. Driver's license, passport, but no birth certificate or social security cards, etc.

The goal here is not confrontation—it's protection. Your rights don't disappear just because a situation feels intimidating—and understanding them is one of the strongest tools you have.

Stay safe, stay informed, and protect each other. This is how we get through this—together.
