This week, Alejandro details his experience at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter concert in Atlanta.

Find a friend if you can and hope that your drink selection isn't an ick for them.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotes 

Alejandro shared an article that was so wild that we had to talk about it for our show this week. Apparently Gen Z'ers are going out of their way to say that us Millennials are not cool. It's a pretty interesting statement considering that some of the top companies, athletes and entertainers are owned, operated and dominated by Millennials. We're still trendsetting at our big ages and Gen Z seems to be doing what we do, just not as good as we did it. The only thing for sure is; We never talked about Gen X this way, but whatever.  Check out more details about this podcast and other shows under the Urban One Podcast Network urban1podcasts.com @lexiwiththecurls @alejandro_niglesias Produced by CamQuotes

Sure relationships can be tough, but are we finally realizing as a society that being lonely is tougher? On our first episode back in season 4 we peel back the layers of loneliness. We are all in search of human interaction, connection and companionship, but it really seems that collectively, we are worse at it now more than ever!

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.

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 CamQuotes

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!

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!

Lists about where you can't go and the type of women to avoid have sparked another conversation and it's getting pretty deep.

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.

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?

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!

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!

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 thing we know for sure.

One thing we miss as geriatric millennials is the days of cookouts and kickbacks. We are definitely the generation that took "Who all over there?" to a whole new level and our cutoff game is too strong. So strong that we don't even pitch in on food and drinks to kick it no more.

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.
