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

No friendship is ever flawless and with the latest on Steve Harvey and Shirley Strawberry we had to talk more about friends. This week it's about friends not liking your significant other and how friends talk to other friends behind your back. Does that happen with all friends? Are you the friend doing all the talking, throwing rocks and hiding your hands? Listen and see what side you fall on.  Ch...

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! Check out more details about...

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 t...

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 i...

One thing we miss as geriatric millennials is the days of cookouts and kickbacks.

Atlanta. The original hotspot for young black people to travel to in hopes of creating a better life and future for themselves. Over time the sights, sounds, people and culture of Atlanta would dominate our 20's and 30's, but is that all coming to an end?

It's hard enough to step out as a Millennial these days because we can easily blend in or stand out in any crowd regardless of age. But trying to find a decent price, consistent barber, braider or beautician in this era, is like trying to find Boardwalk and Park Place at McDonald's!

We're back and it's time to talk about parents and parenting! We've both been raised under different parenting styles and it all comes out in this episode.

We answer both questions and discuss the "fight or flight" mentality millennials have with their parents about careers, rela...

One thing that Geriatric Millennials are embracing more and more is therapy. We are definitely the generation that has brought mental health and self care to the national forefront.
