Giving Up is a comedy podcast hosted by John deBary, Youngmi Mayer, Alex Pemoulié. It has 52 episodes, with the latest published August 2025.

Giving Up is the podcast where three aging Millennials talk about giving up: surrendering to the inexorable march of time and their inevitable demise. Each week we talk about why the world is mad at us and then we vote on who has the most interesting topic to talk about as it relates to our generation's unique spot as people who grew up with the internet but still remembers what life was like before it. Fueled by (un)diagnosed ADHD we cover a range of topics from pop culture, to parenting, generational warfare, and beyond.
