We break down what’s happening with the end of the De Minimis Exemption (sorry Temu and Shein fans), and the latest wild SCOTUS rulings involving deportations, human rights concerns, and the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (yep, really). Then we shift gears to talk about recession pop and all the nostalgia it gives us for a... not simpler time, but a time when we were broke as a joke and just dancing to get through it. We share what life was like for millennials coming of age during the 2008 recession—complete with clubbing nostalgia, dance hits, and questionable financial decisions. So let go of your concerns of being "cringe" Gen Z, millennials are here to make sure you know you're not alone. You'd better run, don't walk, to get this week's recommendations before tariffs screw over your wallet: A 3-in-1 moisture sensor reader for your plants (Pam), Dog Donuts as a cone alternative (Andrew), and Super Goop's Glow Shield sunscreen (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Gen Z doesn't go to the clerb anymore? We reminisce about how millennials made clubbing financially accessible by taking advantage of every ladies' night, waived cover fees, hijacking your whiskey filled water bottle, and more! Plus, since we know y'all love mess, we're sharing some of our "classiest" club moments. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
