Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

What's on State Ballots in 2024?, Spooky Season Nostalgia

Listen Later
  • The US election is 2 weeks away, and we spotlight the various constitutional amendments and referendums being voted on at the state level: marijuana legalization, abortion protections, ranked choice voting, and more!
  • We each share what's on our states' ballots, and how we're voting on these amendments! (And Laura reminds you to "look under the hood" on these proposals to better understand how they will actually work.)
  • Why on earth are there bipartisan efforts to kill open primaries and ranked choice voting in Nevada??
  • It's only taken over a century, but several states are just now considering taking language about slavery out of their constitutions...
  • But onto happier subjects: you know we love nostalgia, so we can't pass up the opportunity to talk about 90's Halloween and Spooky Szn culture!
  • What is our personal relationship to Halloween, and why is Laura so obsessed with murder?
  • We draw a connection between trick-or-treating and Andrew's fondness for snagging strangers' hotel room service leftovers.
  • Did 90s parents inspect our Halloween candy mainly as an excuse to sneak in some sweet treats?
  • Andrew will once again be the most popular house in his neighborhood with full size candy bars, so line up kids!
  • We've got a slew of entertainment recommendations this week! 'Agatha All Along' on Disney+ (Pam), Ali Wong's 'Single Lady' standup special on Netflix (Laura), and Mario Party Jamboree! (Andrew)


    • And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts:

    • Pam can’t stop thinking about a Whole Foods Cake being emblematic of the state of the economy. 
    • Why have so many fast food restaurants rolled back their introductions of alternative meat products? Laura can't enjoy Del Taco anymore!
    • Andrew will be rioting at his local Trader Joe's if they do away with his top favorites, so watch out TJs!
