The Adult' Hood: A Podcast for Geriatric Millennials...

It's not just Gen Z'ers trying to earn the luxury to talk about their passions from home or some beautiful resort with their millions of dollars in their bank accounts. How realistic is the life of a full-time content creator? Is it so real that you can just quit your job? We tackle the very tricky and touchy hot topic on this week's episode.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com@lexiwiththecurls@alejandro_niglesiasProduced by CamQuotes   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Alejandro details his experience at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter concert in Atlanta. Concerts are becoming big money plays and we're starting to feel like we're being priced out of the experience of seeing our favorite artists perform.

Dating and Friendship is hard enough with just the Golden Rule. Today there are so many rules about what you can and can't do, say, think or experience, No wonder everyone is in the house and lonely.

Find a friend if you can and hope that your drink selection isn't an ick for them.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com@lexiwiththecurls@alejandro_niglesiasProduced by CamQuotes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alejandro shared an article that was so wild that we had to talk about it for our show this week. Apparently Gen Z'ers are going out of their way to say that us Millennials are not cool. It's a pretty interesting statement considering that some of the top companies, athletes and entertainers are owned, operated and dominated by Millennials. We're still trendsetting at our big ages and Gen Z seems to be doing what we do, just not as good as we did it. The only thing for sure is; We never talked about Gen X this way, but whatever.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com@lexiwiththecurls@alejandro_niglesiasProduced by CamQuotes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The age gap in relationships has been getting highlighted more and more lately, but it's totally NOT a new thing!

Sure relationships can be tough, but are we finally realizing as a society that being lonely is tougher? On our first episode back in season 4 we peel back the layers of loneliness. We are all in search of human interaction, connection and companionship, but it really seems that collectively, we are worse at it now more than ever! Has texting and social media truly killed interaction and real friends? We are looking for answers just like y'all Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com@lexiwiththecurls@alejandro_niglesiasProduced by CamQuotes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's 2024 and everyone has money..Well that is if you believe Social Media updates. We've reached a time where people want to be anything but "regular" or "normal" and a "blue collar job" or just being a part of the working class is just not good enough for the Gen Z'ers. The price of life is up and people are willing to do anything to get a dollar; What will we do to survive that doesn't involve faking it till we make it? If you have the answers let us know!

As a geriatric millennial one thing we've seen change drastically is the service industry. Whether it's restaurants or catching an Uber, prices are being gouged and the people administering the service are trying to get every dollar they can out of you. And then there are Barbers and Beauticians.....The entitlement, pricing and difficulty to book has gotten too real for us.

We unfortunately have lived long enough to see some of our favorite and most loved celebrities and superstars become villains and this year we may be witnessing the biggest fall of them all. With the recent news surrounding Diddy, it gives us a moment to reflect on some of our other favorites that have had to overcome or never survive many allegations. This is definitely something only a Millennial would understand.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are seemingly so many rules and codes to dating that if you followed them ALL...you'd never haven anybody! Are you cool with dating someone that you know your friend has dated before? Are people too possessive of people they just "talked to" years ago? More importantly, are you willing to step aside if the object of desire is feeling your friend more than you? This week we're talking about the small circles of dating do's and don'ts as we share our past experience and our personal rules, guidelines and explain what a D.U.F.F is in this episode.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls | @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Time is going by pretty fast and what's wild to us is...We may live long enough to see someone from Gen Z become President! It's hard to believe like some people that bask in the world of delusion! From the way people look to the expectations of career and relationships, delusion has run a muck! We're just trying to stay sane through it all.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls & @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's truly hard to believe that we are 40 years old now. We've lived long enough to remember a different time and see a lot of things from our era be reinvented or remixed. What do we do now that WE'RE the OG's!?!

Summertime is here but what are we really doing as a millennial? We would love to go outside and do everything, but it's getting expensive and dangerous! Then there's the same old song of "where we kicking it at?" and no one has a destination or refuses to offer up their house.  Where can we go? Who can we trust? We attempt to make the most of Summer 2024 while creating our own do's and don'ts before it truly gets started.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls | @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotes  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Halloween there were no parties to attend and we saw every movie we actually liked already, so we're talking about food! Well, more like Keith Lee talking about food and specifically ATL Restaurants, Old Lady Gang (OLG) and The Real Milk & Honey.

The Cheesecake Factory video started a firestorm of debate about where to eat and who to take. Lists about where you can't go and the type of women to avoid have sparked another conversation and it's getting pretty deep. We miss the simpler times, but it's time to really talk about the people that stand on these lists and where they really are in life both, financially and geographically.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023 has been a rough year for all of our "Relationship Goals" . It seems like every two weeks another celebrity couple is calling it quits or confirming that they've been long separated. Did they all just do it for "The Gram"? Did they have those important and healthy conversations about family, religion and money? We talk about it and why we feel some couples can't or won't break up.

This week we take time to talk about today's workforce and try to make sense of it all. It's hard enough to navigate your regular job whether you work in the mall or for a Fortune 500 company; But then you have to decide things like, Do you just take any job to pay the bills or just become a TikTok star? Should you be chasing your dreams and passions or take that safe secure job? What's real and what's fake out here? We don't know it all but we definitely have a few clues.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One thing that solidifies you as being a Geriatric Millennial is realizing how explicit and over the top music has gotten today! We loved Lil' Kim, Trina and Foxy, but the women of today have taken it a few notches about that and honestly....It's just too much for us. My Neck, My Back is officially nowhere near the wildest song we've heard and really, we just want more balance. Share your thoughts on today's music in our comments!

No friendship is ever flawless and with the latest on Steve Harvey and Shirley Strawberry we had to talk more about friends.

Are you the friend doing all the talking, throwing rocks and hiding your hands?

After a long weekend in the woods and in Houston not being chose, we realized something. Labor Day isn't a big deal anymore! We already didn't expect a cookout invite, but this year the sales were light and it seems like people were working and treating it like a regular weekend. We talk about summer's last holiday and how it doesn't hit like it used to and much more!

The internet is better than ever as far as speed, but do we really need all this access? We missed the days of watching "Skinemax" through the static and squiggly lines and the American Undercover episodes on HBO. We had sitcoms that attempted to show us something positive. Lil Kim was erotic art, but little kids shouldn't have listened to her or Poundtown. Things have really changed is the only thing we know for sure.

This week is all about navigating as a Geriatric Millennial and the problems that come with it. From trying to find a spot that doesn't sell hookah, movie etiquette  and of course, the price of everything from Brunches to dinner dates. Are they overcharging black folks? Why are young people so aggressive and dangerous!?!  This may be a rant, but it is the very real life of a Geriatric Millennial in Atlanta.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotes  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One thing we miss as geriatric millennials is the days of cookouts and kickbacks. We are definitely the generation that took "Who all over there?" to a whole new level and our cutoff game is too strong. So strong that we don't even pitch in on food and drinks to kick it no more. We talk about the days of the cookout being dead and how to revive it....Just don't make us plan it everytime.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Atlanta. The original hotspot for young black people to travel to in hopes of creating a better life and future for themselves.
