Millennial Check-In

October 4, 2020

Millennials are putting their stamp on the coast

Welcome to happy hour. On this Millennial Edition of the show, Tyler Buckingham and Jenna Valente grab drinks and chat about what's on their Millennial minds. Jenna gets the first round, and tells us about a cool birthday party she went to recently in Boston. The party was unique in that all the attendees were required to deliver a presentation on a subject of their own choosing. Of course, Jenna presented on three interesting ocean creatures and shares some fun facts on the pod. Tyler gets the second round, and, feeling a bit tipsy, talks about the Green New Deal and how Millennials like AOC are putting their fingerprints on the new congress.
