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 😭
