If you're like me (frenchyriff), you probably grew up in some Baptist church or a denomination closely related. Separation of church and state is something I learned in 8th grade civics but a closer look into the church, shows that the church is not only intertwined with the state but it can behave in similar ways. Church politics can range from which deacon will run finance to subjects the pastor is not allowed to touch. Let me know if you can relate to my take on the politics or if you had a different experience. Tune in!

Vinnie shares what's it like growing up in London as well as why he is still salty about his last encounter with the police. Tune in!
"There's more than one way to milk a cow" - Jupiter Grant. I don't make these quotes up guys I swear that came out of Grant's mouth lol. Do we feel a sense of entitlement to results just because we've "put in the work"? Millennials get called out for being entitled and I think it may be our false sense of entitlement but are we wrong for having it? Lots of food for thought on today's episode. New artist on Judgement Zone as well as a fire Salt Segment as usual!
If you want to know what waiting on Covid-19 test results is like then this is the episode for you. Grant and I had to get tested this past Tuesday listen to the podcast to find out why. (I'll give you a hint... his birthday bbq). The entire experience of trying to get tested was different for both of us which is funny but disturbing on the lack of uniformity for this epidemic. Other countries have 1 system and everyone follows it but not here. Also new artist on Judgement Zone and my saltiest Salt Segment ever.
The last time Grant went to see a play was when he was 12 and it was The Nutcracker so he's a terrible person to provide opinion on theater but seriously will broadway make a comeback post covid? How about movie theaters? Isn't watching movies at home so much cheaper anyway? Grant and I discuss the future of entertainment. Today's artist for Judgement Zone is from Germany and Grant was generous again with his score. As always we share some things we're salty about at the end with Salt Segment.
Seriously, there are way too many ways to communicate in 2020. Grant and I just named over 10 in less than 30 seconds. Between all of the possible ways you could talk to another human being nowadays how much do you have to customize it by age? If you have younger siblings for example there's no way you reach out to them the same way you reach out to your parents right? Grant and I discuss and I think we want to go back to landlines... any way " Judgement Zone" artist of the day is international and Grant finally comes to grip with his generous scoring. The salt segment on today's episode is extra salty so bring some water!
What are some things that do not need to make a comeback once quarantine is over? Grant and I compile a small list of some things we feel should just disappear from society. Are we wrong? are we missing some things? feel free to let us know via our instagram or Twitter. Of course we give a random artist a listen and then judge the hell out of them on our new segment Judgement Zone. As always Salt Segment is hilarious.
We pay our respects and send prayers and thoughts to George Floyd and his family. In order not to have the saddest episode ever we also transition to relationships specifically sharing showers. We are built different. New segment "Judgement Zone" is getting some traction. As always we leave you with our salt segment although I think Grant threw in a sneak shot at me in his salt segment...listen and tell me if I'm trippin.
Of course Florida reopened bars and restaurants so our own Grant Reever was out and about and he will tell us all about it. Find out what item is permanently missing from Bars now lol. Also our new segment "Judgement Zone" is catching fire - this where we find a random artist under some comments on twitter/Insta/Youtube begging people to listen to their music. So we listen and judge it accordingly... today's artist took Grant and I by surprise. Salt Segment is extra salty today.
The new normal is actually what this podcast is about but Jon telling us he ran out of toilet was so random we had no choice but to name it accordingly. Jon Meadows joins the podcast in this week's episode and we discuss what is this "new normal" and how millennials will react to it. New segment alert From1millennial Judgment Zone - in this segment we listen to 45 seconds of some random artist we found under instagram comments saying "check out my music" so we check it out and judge them harshly. As always Salt Segment brings the laughs and Grant is as random as always smh. Enjoy!
As promised here is part 2 of what millennials are up to during quarantine. We are in the most unpredictable times and change in society is inevitable but we just don't know what that change will be. Grant and I discuss changes to our everyday routines and eventually what we can expect in society once the "new normal" is established. Shhhhh.... we have a special guest on this episode but you need to listen to find out who! Salt segment is as funny as ever.
The famous instagram photographer @Wooz aka Sam Woosley joins us all the way from Los Angeles and he also happens to be my very good friend from high school and we shared a dorm room freshman year! This guy is damn near verified on Instagram and he shares all the details on how he reached success in one of the toughest industries to work in - Free Lance Photography. Of course we had him play From1millenial games and he surprisingly did well and his Salt Segment is worth the wait. This is one of my favorite podcasts I've done so far and I hope you guys enjoy it.
You wanted it we got it. Our first episode where we dive into what Covid-19 has done to society and more importantly how millennials are reacting to it. Grant Reever is in the building and being his true self as usual lol. Find out this episode's salt segment lol you can relate I'm sure.

Find out the biggest pain points and frustrations of the process as always from a millennial's perspective. You don't want to miss this episode!

This was by far my favorite episode yet. Author of 'Pain Formation', motivational speaker and my good friend James Wilson joins our podcast today.

More importantly in his book Pain Formation you can have a hard copy of all the wisdom and motivation from his journey to help you on yours.

Whether you choose to attend an in-state or an out-of-state college one thing is clear after graduation, you're going to have to pick where you want to start your career. Most of my friends chose to stick around our college town of Greensboro but today's guests Jonathan Ramos and TJ Jallah bring two different perspectives. This podcast is for our younger generation that are just graduating college. This podcast features our new segment 'From1millenial Games' and also our highly anticipated Salt Segment as usual (with its own jingle now!). Enjoy.
The title here is self-explanatory, we've all done it but I think Grant takes it to the next level. Today's podcast we look at how millennials react to trending topics and the history of avocados (thanks to Grant lol). Then Peyton and Grant take each on Millenial Backtrack to see who knows the year of recent events like "when was the first Ipad released". Millennial games is a new addition to our podcast which makes things more interesting.
Our first millennial teacher Peyton came not only to raise the sass level but also represent for all of the millennial teachers out there. Peyton talks about the importance of being able to relate to the students and why being a younger teacher is key. She is the exact reason why I am a huge supporter of higher teacher wages. Find out what grade she teaches and how she chose it and also you'll hear the best SALT SEGMENT ever. Also introducing a new mid poddy game (still working on the name).
What are millennial weekends like? In this episode we discover a little bit about millennial weekends and what exactly do we do. We also dive into our thought process when Friday hits. More importantly we discover Grant's secret trip to Kona Brewery in some island he doesn't remember - what a guy. Of course our most anticipated part of the podcast Salt Segment is back and funny as usual. Enjoy!
Featuring freshly engaged millennials Colleen and JP give us their millennial perspective on engagement and why they've decided to take the plunge. A while back we discussed if millennials are still excited about marriage in general and from the amount of weddings I attended recently I would say yes. JP's hilarious story of how he actually proposed is a great example for all of us millennial men out there with cold feet. If anything you'll be encouraged to take the leap after hearing from Colleen and JP (...and Grant but he's single lol). Of course the now famous "Salt Segment" wraps it up in hilarious fashion.
Traveling during the holidays seems a bit old school and non-millennial so when exactly are we traveling? Grant Reever and recently returned from separate trips mine international and his domestic. The reasons for our travel is the answer to when are millennials traveling. Also in this episode we share a quick recap of Thanksgiving (funny story) and of course our much anticipated Salt Segment which always brings a reality check to our millennial minds.
Are you guilty of committing holiday stigmas? Drinking eggnog in November, Christmas music before Thanksgiving, Christmas tree up in November, and any other frowned upon activities. Why are these activities frowned upon in the first place? I never quite understood why I wasn't allowed to listen to Christmas music whenever I wanted without judgment but Grant provided some excellent reasons but you be the judge!
Immediately after Halloween the holiday season kicks off. Are millennials still celebrating Christmas hardcore? The holiday spending is definitely something we're more aware of for sure. Grant and I do our Halloween recap and talk holidays. You're not gonna want to miss this one! hilarious!
Back like we forgot something I know it's been a while since our last podcast and I want to apologize as we've been busy. But we are back in action this week Grant and I discuss financing cars and why they don't teach financing in high school. We also have some hilarious discussion of our first hand-me-down cars. This is not only an entertaining take to financing for Millennials but very informational.
Do millennials plan and prepare for major disasters like Hurricanes or aggressive blizzards up north? Living in Florida had us wondering if we were the only millennials who don't rush out to buy all the bread and water as soon as we hear the word hurricane on the news. But we don't really know if we are alone (at least in Florida) in that regard. Are there other millennial who do panic and spend lots of money to prep? Tabitha shares an interesting relationship aspect with the weather channel and its anchors during these natural disasters.
Facebook (Instagram's parent company) is testing out a new update which removes "Likes" from your posts. Only you can see how many likes your post has accrued but no one else can. Is this the solution for better mental health on social media? or a big hurdle for businesses and influencers?
There's absolutely nothing to see in Oklahoma but frequent world traveler and true citizen of the world Graham Williams tells us about places we should visit instead. Are millennials even traveling anymore? Do we still want to visit Rome? Paris? Moscow? London? Also, when is the best time to visit certain place especially Mongolia?
The title of this podcast is unfortunately also a confession. Eric from Pineapple Films came to discuss why movie studios are only putting out remakes lately. I'm passionate about it because I enjoy good movies and lately all I've been seeing is remake of Lion King, another Toy Story, and don't let me get started on the Fast & Furious franchise. Is no one else tire of remakes? I hopefully am not alone but Eric is definitely alone when you find out his top 10 favorite movies lol.
96% of Millennials are burning out daily. This is by far the most important podcast we've ever done. Employers in 2019 need to be weary of the millennials on their payroll. How do we deal with burnout? Grant Reever and I discuss how burnout affects out on a daily basis in our personal professions as well some funny examples of our closest friends etc... If you're an employer I would take notes. If you're a millennial you can relate.
Jared is the most recent millennial to get married (at least one that I know) and he is providing a behind the scenes description of the actual day. Not only that but Jared became one of my first friends when I moved to South Florida when he invited me to his church which is also his employer. This is a big church and millennials are flocking to smaller home churches so Jared's take on this is from deep inside the trenches. This is a rich conversation full of perspective.
Find out the only way you can possibly get a tan in cloudy South Bend Indiana. I cannot stop laughing even after recording this take. This is the first episode with 2 guests on at the same time and what a trio it was. Moving away from South Florida is rare due to the beach lifestyle it offers but one of my closest friends Jon has managed to leave this heaven for South Bend Indiana. Grant and I invite you for the ride of finding out what South Bend is all about. Put your seat belt on (cause Jon doesn't).
Ever wonder why there are so many denominations of Christian churches? Are millennials flocking to smaller non-denominational church as opposed to big "popular" churches? My friend Noah Cardillo and I dive into these questions as Christians in today's environment. Even if you're a non-Christian, Atheist, or whatever the case may be this is a question we've always had in the back of our minds. The answer is finally here!
Did you know the state of Georgia still has plantations on display? My cousin was having a hard time comprehending why they are still around almost ignoring the fact that slaves worked there for free.... Somehow this is connected to fabric softener. Millennials are constantly blamed for ruining parts of if not the entire economy, Tabs and I go through a list of some items that we are accused of not buying anymore aka killing the economy. We came to an interesting conclusion.
Did we millennials usher in a new era of interracial dating? If you thought interracial dating has always been a thing you will be in complete shock when Tabs shares the actual data. Millennials are responsible for creating an environment where we just see dating outside of our culture simply as dating. Tabs and I discuss some very personal situations that many of you may be able to relate to and of course you can laugh at our pain as usual.
The title is one of the insults I used to hear in middle school and high school. Growing up African in the US is hilarious. Don't worry I have built tough skin since middle school but I don't think my cousin Lionel Tshiunza, who joins me on today's podcast, has. This is one of my favorite podcasts so far and we open up to how it's been growing up with cultural clashing battles of our home country DR Congo and the US.
All the way from Newcastle England - Millennial college coach Mark Dawson joins me to talk about growing up in Newcastle; what age did he give up on his professional dreams, and more importantly what ticks him off about Youtube videos lol - We also discuss some valid concerns about the state of goal keeping and Mark's approach into coaching!
Let's not kid ourselves here we all thought we were a bomb photographer or film director with our iPhones (or android). Eric gives us the real insight to being a millennial video-grapher and doing it for a living. Yes, we definitely discussed those crazy video guys at National Geographic - I have the upmost respect for them!
You've heard the whole "teach a man how to fish" analogy right? Well today there are plenty of ways for you to learn how to fish but is it enough? Dave's blog on Information Overwhelm is exactly what the title suggests, an overwhelming amount of information we have access to today. We discuss how to decipher the information and the entire process of learning. Eye opening and intuitive podcast... this one is for the nerd inside of all of us.
If you ever wondered what it felt like to actually follow your dream and make that investment into yourself this podcast will give you the insight from my own experiences and also Tabitha who is following her dreams with her band. Inside the dream is deeply insightful, my favorite episode so far. It's raw and uncut as usual with the regular comic reliefs. I hope someone's inspired.
The proverbial "clock" for women is always ticking. But Tabitha helps me figure out why that is and what millennial women or any other woman who is feeling that sort of pressure can do to alleviate it. We discuss "beauty is fading" theory and other things millennial women have grown up with. Is the pressure to find a soul mate, marry, and have kids an internal thing or external?
Whatever happened to becoming a firefighter? Are we following our dreams or just working dead end jobs? Has our dreams changed or has the advancement in technology refined our dreams into something else? What does it even mean to follow your dreams in the first place? We discuss all these questions and as always the perspective is from us - people just like you!
Dave has some hilarious warnings for his early 2000 self. 2019 has brought us a lot from technology to Post Malone tattoos... this episode is our most creative yet. More importantly is there anything we missed? Let us know in the comments!
Have no clue about the Realestate market? Don't worry, today Realestate expert Grant Reever is here to give us the inside scoop from his millennial point of view of course! We keep it 100%. We discuss the best time to buy and what signs should millennials look for when it's time to buy a house. This is not only insightful but hilarious.
Are all millennials dating the same way? Has dating Changed? Discussing this not only from a millennial perspective but also having a female's was enriching. A good laugh.
Don't tell me you haven't heard Usher and Lil Jon's "Yeah" song in the past year. That song came out in 2004! Tabitha is a professional pianist and former music major so we discuss the elements of what makes a song timeless. Interesting. More importantly we discuss what songs we feel will become timeless 10 years from now.
How do we quantify whether something is good or bad, is it the "era" or age based? As a millennial it's interesting to see what we used to like change all of a sudden. I discuss with Tabitha on whether or not she likes today's music. Do we have the right to dislike music just because we are used a certain type?
We talk about youth soccer goalkeeping especially in South Florida. This is from field player perspective for sure. Funny.
Regarding youth soccer and parents who take their kids from club to club. Why does this happen and is it good for development? We discuss this and much more!
Hilarious. Today we discuss the most hated bands from a millennial perspective. This is a subject of much debate, Tabitha and myself go toe to toe on why certain bands shouldn't be hated. Tabitha says the most controversial statement ever on this podcast!
Hilarious. But we discuss parent's investment in youth soccer whether it's harmful to player development or not.
In this hilarious first podcast I speak with former college soccer player and current US licensed youth soccer coach, and found of Bigpicturesoccercoaching.com Dave Farrokh. We discuss the current state of soccer as well as youth soccer in the US specifically in South Florida. Dave's insights are not only intuitive but funny at the same time.
