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

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.

This week is all about our love lives...or the love life that we envision. Lexi is discovering couples activities and an increase in invites now that she has a new Boo, while Alex is proving to be the ultimate third wheel while waiting for the love that he's longed for in his mind. How soon is too soon to show your boo? Can you tell when someone is single again? Are you truly aware when someone is not interested in pursuing the next level of love with YOU? Maybe we can help you out on this episode.

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!?! We attempt to navigate that reality during 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.

This week we talk about "Quiet Canceling" and who is really affected by it. The wild things that we believed growing up about prominent figures and if we truly got rid of them then or if we will truly cancel the people that we are told to cancel now. We also discuss the perils of being an artist today and how no one gets discovered anymore. Will the music of today even be around in 20 years???

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. We talk about his critiques and then open up the conversation to Black Owned Restaurants as a whole and ask the question, "Can these food reviewers/influencers really make or break these restaurants?" Let us know what you think in the comments!

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.

The younger Millennials are ruining dating for everybody! The places we loved for first dates and places we used to frequent to meet, greet and break the ice are now looked down on and we absolutely do not understand it. This week we talk about the viral Cheesecake Factory date, the 48 oyster date and first date places that are absolutely acceptable no matter what younger Millennials have to say.

Halloween is coming up fast and we take a moment to reflect on how it used to be and figure out what we're going to do this year.

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. 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.  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.
