About this episode

The hosts discuss their first one-star review and share relatable millennial complaints.

If I Had One Complaint This episode had us laughing from the jump — from early‑morning time‑zone chaos to Bekah sitting fully mic’d and ready an hour early while Duke snoozed like a perfect gentleman (gentledog? Good dog.) Things took a turn when we discovered our very first one‑star review (the audacity!), which sent us spiraling into theories about finger‑slips, secret enemies, and possibly… Joe. From there, the conversation wandered through retail misery, Diet Coke withdrawals, and the universal truth that some people just wake up choosing chaos. Today's main topic: Millennial Complaints — the “OK Boomer” list that Ruha and Bekah (two millenials) have thoughtfully assembled.
