Is it genius or going too far?  We talk about its safety features, its recent data breaches, and whether public reviews of your ex should really be a thing. Plus, Laura unpacks the deadpan 'Gen Z stare' that's freaking anyone over the age of 30 out. Is it apathy, anxiety, or just boundaries? And speaking of generational clashes, we tackle the phone etiquette war: Gen Z doesn't say “hello” anymore... should we be offended by the deadpan stares and awkward breathing on the other end of a phone call? And we're never gonna leave you hanging on the recommendations front: Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2 (Andrew), 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' (Laura), and Netflix's 'Building the Band' (Pam). In this week's installment of After Dark, we're diving into Uber’s new feature letting women match only with women drivers, plus sharing our wildest Uber horror stories. From drivers taking alternate routes (creepy) to trying to pressure riders into hook ups, our panel (and our Patrons) have seen it all. But Andrew may be the only one of us to ever receive a shoulder massage from an Uber passenger... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
