Channing & Vanessa — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when a coworker takes a workplace grudge all the way to a ten-page complaint?

Channing and Vanessa trade their wildest coworker horror stories—from false accusations and HR drama to approved PTO being called a no-call/no-show and a $3-an-hour pay cut that finally forced a decision.

Ten years of workplace politics, favoritism, and knowing when to leave
Why self-checkout feels like unpaid labor
Disney adults, Epcot, and the trip debate

Money Talks… and It’s Stressing Us Out

Channing & Vanessa — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Money has a way of showing up in every part of adulthood — bills, groceries, gas, rent, subscriptions, random purchases, and those “wait… where did all my money go?” moments.

In Episode 3 of Who Let Us Adult?, Channing and Vanessa talk about the financial side of adulting without making it boring. From realizing how much bills actually cost, to trying and failing at budgeting, to deciding between saving money and still enjoying life, this episode keeps it honest, funny, and real.

This episode is for anyone who has ever opened their bank account and immediately regretted it.

In this episode, we talk about:
• The first time we realized bills were no joke
• Budgeting attempts that did not exactly go as planned
• “Do we really need this?” purchases
• Saving money while still trying to live your life
• Why money seems to disappear faster now than ever before

Real talk. Real life. Real growth.

Presented by Black Pine Media.
