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.

This episode we share our final thoughts before Election Day. The Harris-Walz campaign left it all on the mat and we can’t ask for more. Legacy media has some introspection to do after the election and really decide how to regain the trust they have lost.

This week we talked to some swing state voters while doing voter outreach calls as well as on TikTok Live and the vibes were not great. In fact our conversations had us worried. How much mis-informed voting is happening and is Kamala Harris losing Black men voters as a result?

    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.
