Hey everyone! Welcome to another episode of "Shut Up & Listen: Gen Z Podcast." Today, it’s just Maya and Melissa holding down the fort while Carin is off having a life. We kick things off by sharing the unfortunate news that Carin will be missing for a few episodes, but she'll be back soon.

Melissa dives right into a wild story from school where a classmate had a major meltdown in class. It was one of those bizarre incidents that make you question what kind of school you’re attending. An independent study program definitely has its mix of characters!

On the fashion front, we talk about our recent clothing swap and the joys of local flea markets. Melissa shares her experience selling and trading clothes at the Agoura Flea and how it’s the perfect spot to find unique items. We even have our sights set on the Silver Lake Flea and the Rose Bowl Flea Market for future fashion adventures.

Our conversation takes a fun turn as we recount some of our craziest concert stories. From meeting an eccentric concertgoer in San Francisco to planning our next big outings like the Billy pop-up on Fairfax and Nessa Barrett’s listening party, there’s never a dull moment when it comes to live music. We also dream about attending festivals like Camp Flog Gnaw and Hard Summer, reminiscing about past experiences and speculating on who might perform.

We couldn't resist sharing one of our favorite thrift store hacks: buying mystery bags of jewelry. These bags are a treasure trove of fun finds and a great way to get creative with your accessories. If you love thrifting as much as we do, this tip is a game-changer.

Sprinkled throughout the episode are some hilarious and spooky anecdotes from our past. Melissa recalls a haunted cabin experience in Big Bear that still gives us chills.

As we wrap up, we’re off to grab some food and continue our day. Remember to stay hydrated and take care of yourselves. Thanks for tuning in to "Shut Up & Listen: Gen Z Podcast." See you next time!
