When it was announced that Mark Boal, the award-winning writer of films like The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, was creating a show for Apple TV+, we were incredibly excited and knew we had to cover it here on the pod. Titled Echo 3, this series follows "Bambi" (Luke Evans) and "Prince" (Michiel Huisman), two US Special Forces operators who set out to Colombia in order to rescue Amber (Jessica Ann Collins), Bambi's sister and Prince's wife. Kidnapped and suspected to be a CIA agent, Amber is being transported to the Venezuelan border, and once across, rescuing her will become a daunting challenge. And so, Bambi and Prince waste no time to lock, load, and let bullets fly.
We're back! It's been nearly a year since our last upload, which was longer than we planned on, but life gets in the way sometimes. But, hey, we're here now and we have many episodes coming down the pike. Some of these episodes, like this one, were pre-recorded a while ago, but most are new and we're eager to share them with you. If you're an old listener who's still here, thank you for your patience and we hope you stick with us.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
