Two years after The UnWoke Show’s debut, hosts Tim and Rich revisit the question that started it all: what does it mean to be “UnWoke” in 2025?
In this reboot, they cut through the noise of performative politics, influencer activism, and outrage fatigue to find out whether the “UnWoke” mindset has evolved — or if the rest of the world just caught up.
Tim and Rich unpack:
-
The death of “woke” as a movement and rise of post-outrage culture
-
How both sides now weaponize the same word
-
Why humor, context, and common sense are making a comeback
-
The new litmus test for authenticity in a hyper-online world
Tagline: The world moved on. We’re just here to make sense of the wreckage.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
