Vibe is BRAT, BRAT is Vibe - Our 2024 Year in Review and Gift Exchange!

Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

• Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Join us for our last show of 2024!
• We do our annual gift exchange a little differently this year by getting non-Secret Santa presents for each other. Get ready for all the wholesome vibes, we knocked it out of the park this year!
• To put a bow on 2024 (does it deserve a bow?) we recount the top stories of the year in terms of news, pop culture, and more.
• Kamala's brat summer fell out of a coconut tree and surprised and delighted us all - for a brief 100 day window, we were vibing in the context in which we exist.
• Our love for Cowboy Carter inspires a mini conversation about the evolution of country music - is Andrew becoming a country girlie?
• The Kendrick/Drake feud had Pam's attention, and Laura was very glad to benefit from her knowledge of the industry to get in on the tea.
• Weirdest news stories of the year? From brain worms to literal palace intrigue, all the way to trauma dumping on Elmo via Twitter... is everyone ok?
• We haven't forgotten about other year-defining moments of 2024, like the cursed Pop Tart Bowl, Gypsy Rose's release from prison and subsequent temporary influencer status, and of course, J.D. Vance's poor couch.
• Our wonderful Patrons shared their favorite show moments of the year, and we get a little misty eyed. Thank you so much for your support!
• There will certainly be... challenges next year, but we wrap our final episode of the year by talking about what we're EXCITED for in 2025!
• And for your final 2024 recommendations: Trader Joe's pillar candles (Pam), RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for Switch (Andrew), and mindful.org for free mindfulness and meditation resources (Laura).

And in this week's installment of After Dark:

• We share what we're most proud of from 2024 - from professional gains to getting stronger and everything in between, we're all feeling proud of ourselves in big and small ways. We hope you are too!
• We've all found new hobbies and fandoms to engage with, and shed some things (and people) that were no longer suiting us.
• Our Patrons share what they're most proud of this year, and WOW, y'all have made some big accomplishments this year!
