The 50th episode of Worst Millennials is here.  Someone bake us a cake.  You know, because we’re entitled and we expect things to be handed to us on a silver platter…

Jabs at Baby Boomers and Gen Xers aside, I’m very excited to bring you another installment of my recording session with Shay and my brother, Lamar.  We continue discussing all of the BS we’ve had to go through with jobs.  Who hasn’t felt undervalued by an employer?  I talk in-depth about spending years at Nielsen and my government job with absolutely no upward mobility.  It can be an infuriating experience when you want to move up in a company and make strides to do so, but your employer just has no desire to let you move to the next stage of your career.

Another aspect of jobs we talk about is taking jobs that you don’t like.  My brother and I were both substitute teachers at the same school, albeit different years.  Substitute teaching is not fun no matter where you go.  It also doesn’t help that you’re treated as a glorified babysitter and disrespected by staff and students.  I’ll be telling some great stories of my time as a substitute teacher in a future episode, so stay tuned for that.

We also start our discussion of the Olympics in this episode.  A lot of interesting events happened at the Olympics and two of them didn’t seem to involve actual athletics.  The event that we discuss on this episode is the backlash at Gabby Douglas not putting her hand over her heart during the National Anthem.  The whole situation seemed to be blown out of proportion and seemed like an excuse for people to get offended over someone not honoring an incredibly archaic gesture.  I hope you’ve got your thick skin on for that portion of the episode because you might get heated.  Which, I mean, is good because bad publicity would be great for this show.  Now, that I think about it.  I do bring up a bad interaction I had with a woman on the Worst Millennials Twitter account about the Gabby Douglas situation.

Light a bowl.  Crack a beer.  Do whatever you do to alter your state of consciousness before this episode.  Enjoy! –Damon
