Adulthood Pending

We Learned Nothing… And Somehow Everything | ADHP 52

We learned nothing… …and somehow everything. 🎙️ Season 1 Finale of Adulthood Pending is here. 52 episodes later, and we’re still trying to figure out adulthood… except now we’re slightly more self-aware and way more chaotic about it. This episode was supposed to be a simple send-off. Instead, it turned into one of the most honest, unfiltered, and unintentionally deep conversations we’ve had all season. From burnout and people-pleasing… to identity, growth, and why doing absolutely nothing somehow feels illegal now… Yeah… it got real. 🎙️ In this episode, we get into: 🧠 What 52 episodes actually taught us about adulthood 🔥 Why burnout hits different in your 30s 😵‍💫 The guilt of resting (and why it’s broken) 💬 Trusting yourself vs everyone else’s opinions 🚫 People-pleasing, boundaries, and learning to say no 🌀 Overthinking vs intuition (your brain is a liar) 👶 What we miss about being kids… and what we don’t 😂 And then it completely derails into: 🔥 Fan Q&A chaos (y’all really went there) 💀 “Is murder ever justified?” (we promise… mostly jokes) 😤 Dealing with difficult people & emotional vampires 🎮 Future plans, streaming, and what’s next 🍔 Food takes that might actually start wars 💩 And somehow… we end the season like that 🚨 WHAT’S NEXT We’re taking a short break… but don’t get comfortable. 👉 Zaga is going LIVE (Twitch/YouTube/TikTok) during the break 👉 More content. More chaos. More interaction 👉 Season 2 is coming back sharper, funnier, and way more unhinged And this time… you’re part of it. 💬 JOIN THE COMMUNITY Season 2 = controlled chaos (by YOU) Topics.

This Episode Got Way Too Real… | ADHP 51

This episode was supposed to stay on track… it didn’t. In Episode 51 of Adulthood Pending, Zaga and Copper start with a simple idea and somehow spiral into one of the most unfiltered conversations of the season. From “being mean vs being honest” to why entertainment feels fake now, this episode turns into a full breakdown of how people are DONE being told what to like… and why authenticity is starting to win again. We also get into Hawaii, Ireland, cancel culture, independent creators, and somehow end up answering fan questions that completely derail everything. This one is chaotic, real, and very on-brand. Because at the end of the day… we’re not polished… we’re just honest. 🎙️ We get into: 🌴 Why Hawaii changed Zaga’s entire mindset (“that’s not aloha”) 🧠 The difference between honesty vs just being an asshole 🎬 Why Hollywood and gaming feel forced right now 💰 The shift from big corporations to independent creators 🎮 Why cheaper indie games are beating AAA titles 🚫 Cancel culture, comedy, and where the line actually is 🗣️ Real talk about empathy, truth, and people picking sides And then it completely falls apart with: 🔥 Fan Q&A chaos 😂 Sleep schedules, caffeine addiction, and ADHD spirals 🎲 D&D, relationships, red flags, and random debates 🍦 Pistachio ice cream takes that should probably be illegal 💬 JOIN THE COMMUNITY Season 2 is coming… and we’re letting YOU shape it.

50 Episodes Later… We’re Still Not Real Adults 😂 | ADHP 50

50 episodes later… and we still have no idea what we’re doing 😂 In this milestone episode of Adulthood Pending, we take a step back and ask the real question… Did we actually get better at being adults… or just better at pretending? From missed trash days to DoorDash addictions, failed routines, and the reality of post-vacation burnout, this episode is a full breakdown of what we’ve learned (and what we definitely haven’t) over the past year. We get into: 🧠 Why adulthood never actually “clicks” ✈️ Why vacations don’t fix your life (they might make it worse) 💸 The constant battle between groceries vs DoorDash 🏠 Why chores and responsibilities NEVER end 🎄 Holidays being straight-up scheduled chaos 📱 How technology went from helping us… to controlling us And somehow… we also end up debating: ⚔️ Planes vs cruise ships (and irrational fears of pirates??) 🥊 Whether mutual combat should be legal everywhere 🧴 Skincare routines saving our lives in our 30s 🎬 Feeling old when people don’t know classic movies This episode is chaotic, honest, and painfully relatable. Because at the end of the day… we’re not behind… we just thought we’d be further along by now.

Why Adulthood Feels Worse After Vacation 😂 (I Spent $65 on This…) | ADHP 49

Why does adulthood feel worse after vacation? In this episode of Adulthood Pending, we get into post-vacation burnout, dumb spending decisions, and the reality of being a millennial trying to get your life together… and immediately failing 😂 Zaga is back from Hawaii with a new look, new mindset… and a $65 purchase that completely breaks Nick live on air 💀 We get into: ✈️ Why coming back from vacation hits harder than it should 🧢 The new “uncle era” (mustache + dad hats = dangerous combo) 💸 Spending money on things we absolutely do NOT need 📦 A LIVE unboxing that spirals instantly 🎮 Letting the fans take control of the episode (bad idea) From Marvel vs DC debates to childhood nostalgia and the dumb things we survived as kids… this episode goes completely off the rails. Also… yes… Nick crashes out. And yes… it was worth every dollar 😭 🌴 SUPPORT OAHU FLOOD RELIEF Hawaii is more than a destination. It’s home ❤️ Families on the North Shore are dealing with real loss from severe flooding.

Things Millennials Pretend to Understand | ADHP 48

Nick is dying from allergies. Zaga threw his back out. And somehow… this episode still happened. This week on Adulthood Pending, the guys dive into one of the most relatable parts of being an adult: Pretending you understand things that you absolutely do not. From credit scores and insurance policies to stocks, crypto, and networking, millennials have mastered the art of confidently nodding along in conversations while secretly having no idea what anyone is talking about. But the episode takes a completely unexpected turn when a spider drops down mid-recording and nearly ends Nick’s life on camera. Yes… that actually happens. In this episode we get into: 📈 Why millennials pretend to understand stocks 💳 The confusing reality of credit scores 🧾 Tax write-offs that nobody actually understands 🍷 Fake wine experts and vineyard snobs 🕸️ The spider incident that broke Nick’s brain 🤝 Why networking is just awkward adult small talk 📑 Insurance policies nobody reads 📚 Why school never taught us real life skills 🍽️ The unspoken rules of tipping If you've ever confidently nodded in a conversation about escrow, crypto, or investments while secretly Googling it later, this episode is for you. 🎧 Adulthood Pending: millennial group therapy disguised as chaos. 🔔 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👍 Like the video 💬 Drop a comment (what’s something you pretend to understand?) 📺 Subscribe for new episodes & clips 📤 Share this with your favourite exhausted adult 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6M2NGbzarhLytxjoi3GucK?si=ADNyYlK6Tf2F4aBUX9Odpw 📲 Follow us everywhere 🔗 All Links: https://linktr.ee/ADULTHOODPENDING 📱 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@Adhpshow 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/Adhpshow 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/rbVHTNeFbH 👕 Rep your millennial chaos: 👉 https://adulthoodpending.myspreadshop.com Chapters / Timestamps 0:00 🤧 Cold Open – Allergies vs Back Pain 1:18 ✈️ Zaga’s Upcoming Hawaii Trip 3:05 🎥 Pre-Recording Episodes & Vacation Planning 5:05 ✂️ Zaga’s Rare Fresh Haircut Appearance 7:55 🤔 Episode Topic: Things Adults Pretend to Understand 9:30 🏦 Escrow, Taxes & Financial Confusion 11:00 💳 Credit Scores Make No Sense 15:40 💸 Credit Card Horror Stories 18:10 🍷 Fake Wine Experts Exposed 20:00 📈 Millennials Pretending to Understand Stocks 21:45 💻 Crypto, NFTs & Internet Financial Gurus 22:15 🕷️ The Spider Incident (Nick Almost Dies) 26:50 🤝 Networking Is Mostly Fake 30:40 📑 Insurance Policies Nobody Understands 34:20 🏠 Recording in an Attic Full of Bugs 37:20 📉 Why We Were Never Taught Real Life Skills 40:05 💰 Checks, Banking & Old School Money 41:30 🏈 NFL Talk & Travis Kelce Debate 44:20 📚 The Problem With What Schools Teach 46:20 🍽️ The Unspoken Rules of Tipping 49:50 🧖 Nick Needs Allergy Recovery 51:10 ✈️ Zaga Prepares for an 11-Hour Flight 52:00 ❤️ Final Thoughts: It’s Okay To Admit You Don’t Know #podcast #millennialpodcast #adhp #adulting #millennialhumor #comedypodcast #relatablepodcast #adulthoodpending
