We’re back! This week we discuss reactions, overreactions and political implications of the TikTok ban. We also look ahead to Trump’s second inauguration and his first week in office. This year we continue to stay balanced in the political chaos and focus on real issues rather than getting lost in daily political noise.

We reflect on 2024 and look forward to 2025. Spoiler, we predict the new admin struggles with Elon Musk stealing all the oxygen in the room as “CEO” of the country. Does MAGA know that in corporate America CEO > President? We discuss as FAFO era continues.


This is our season finale episode! We’ll be back in mid-January before the inauguration.


Enjoy the holidays and Happy New Year!

This episode we share our thoughts after Election Day. What really motivated people to vote for Trump or stay home? Did people know what they were signing up for? No matter the answers we both agree this is America’s Brexit moment and we will see what consequences lie ahead.
