Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! This week, we’re cutting through the chaos with real talk about a terrifying few weeks in America: the killing of Renee Good by ICE, an administration racing to control the narrative, nationwide protests, secret-police energy, war crimes, intimidation of federal officials, and a president openly flipping off a worker on camera. We break down why “raw video is fact," and why knowing your rights when approached by ICE or law enforcement is essential. Check out the resources shared in this week's episode: National Immigrant Justice Center and ACLU: Immigrants' Rights. Then we switch gears to ask: have people actually gotten ruder since the pandemic, or does it just feel that way? We dig into Pew’s data, rank the most irritating public behaviors, air our own petty grievances, and take a nostalgic look at what got weirdly hot during COVID and then immediately died (RIP 3% mortgage rates, Peloton dreams, and plastic germ screens). Here's what's on tap for recommendations this week: Owala free sip water bottles (Andrew), Oli Pop prebiotic soda (Laura), and Olive & June's gel manicure system (Pam). And in this week's edition of After Dark: Move over Karen, there's a new name stereotype for a pushy demanding middle aged woman in town: apparently Jessica is the millennial generation equivalent based on how common the name is in our age group.
