Explicit The M Word Conner O'Brien & Kyle Turner In 2015, the U.S. Census Bureau said that there are over 83 million millennials, finally surpassing the 75 million-strong baby boomer generation.

They bought two microphones (effectively burying the bullhorn industry) and began this podcast (basically killing the radio industry).Conner & Kyle have been friends for years, but in 2017, they both moved away from each other.
