S7 Ep26: Hobbies ≠ Side Hustles, Would We Fly To Space?, Student Loan Relief Updates
from Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk · host Laura Tee, Pamela Gocobachi
We check in on the Great Billionaire Race to Space and discuss the implications of rich douches not paying taxes and funding space travel for themselves. Yay capitalism! Laura's rage of the week: some who adopted pets during the pandemic are returning them to shelters. Pam was finally able to resume her morning movie theater routine, and gives a brief, spoiler free review of Black Widow. Kevin Feige recently revealed that Marvel Studios won't be locking its stars into multi-movie contracts anymore. Do we think the Marvel brand is big enough to get butts in seats without recurring appearances from big Hollywood names? A reminder from the #Millennial Facebook group: hobbies don't always need to be side hustles! We discuss the pressure that often comes with being good at something. With the end of COVID-related student loan relief fast approaching, we do a check-in on the state of the student loan forgiveness conversation. Do we think the loan forgiveness can will be kicked down the road again? Japan has placed Tokyo under a state of emergency to coincide with the Olympic games. This week's recommendations will keep you taken care of! Making sure to keep Benadryl handy in case of an emergency (Laura), Nutpods Creamer (Pam), and stick-on blind spot mirrors for your car (Andrew).
