Andrew is safe and sound in Vegas (despite a near-death experience in St. Louis), and we're back baby! What fate met TikTok while we were off, and why are people speculating about Taylor Swift's sexuality? Laura and Pam are alarmed by Andrew's thoughts (as usual). A confessional from someone who tried sex work prompts us to talk about jobs we've had or considered in the past, and Andrew identifies a pattern for Laura. The main theme of Trumpster Fire is negative growth... at a rate of 32.9%. What does this mean, and how is Trump trying to distract us? ...

George Soros, often accused of bankrolling left-wing conspiracies, was blamed by no other than Facebook for the negative press surrounding its various data privacy breaches.

#4x41: Chicago Gangbang

#4x40: 23AndLookSeeImNativeAmerican
Elizabeth Warren, like many white people before her, is cleaving to trace amounts of Native American ancestry in her DNA results. Which brings us to the point of who gives a fuck? The Confessional requires some advice from the #Millennial love doctor and friend whisperer. Taylor Swift may have encouraged an additional 56,669 voters to register, but agent orange likes her music “25% less.” Sad! Voter suppression in Georgia has Laura repeatedly reminding listeners to call on Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp to resign as Georgia’s Secretary of State. We all know streaming is t...

UPDATE: Fan Bingbang has been released - sadly, this story ends in tragedy for her bank account. Judge Kavanope was confirmed to the Supreme Court Saturday.

Andrew's feeling a love for Patagonia this fall, but appears to be the only brand whore on the panel #Millennial PSA: If you know a white man being denied an opportunity because of his history as an abuser, keep him in your #thoughtsandprayers. CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS. THEN DOUBLE CHECK IT: Vote.org Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was poised, measured, and credible in her testimony. Meanwhile, Dudley Dursley had a partisan meltdown.

#4x37: So Sexy
Live from the #Millennial Pulpit this week, we are joined by Alex, who is both a listener and a pastor. We’re shocked that such a good person listens to THIS show. Offensive Halloween costumes are back in full force this year. What’s sexier than sexual servitude? Do: Dress up like Black Panther if you want! Don’t: Paint your skin brown.

Hurricanes, mushrooms, and homeowner woes abound in this week’s #Millennial. The Emmys were a snooze fest for viewers and presenters alike. Brett Kavanaugh gets the Anita Hill treatment: Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has come forward with allegations that the SCOTUS nominee assaulted her when they were teenagers. Did the Chinese government kidnap famous actress Fan Bingbang for tax evasion? Guess which country wants to legalize dueling? Surprisingly, it’s not the US. Google that Shit (or, in Soviet Russia, you no Google Shit, Shit Google you). The...
