It’s New Year’s Eve and a fresh start is right around the corner. Not only are we wrapping up the insanity of 2020, but we are also wrapping up Season 1 of BullCast (thank you for tuning in for 30 episodes!) In this week’s mini-episode, we are discussing some of our most life-changing moments. Expectations are always high for the new year and rarely do things go as planned. Like us, the pivotal moments in your life probably happened on a random day when you were least expecting it. Life is uncomfortable at times, and it’s important to branch out, take a chance, and avoid regretting those missed opportunities. After all, life is short. Happy New Year, y’all!

Ho ho ho! It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa has dropped off some early gifts for us (yes, we made it on the “nice” list this year.) With a new mixer and mics, BullCast sounds better than ever as we head into the new year. In this week’s episode, we’ll drop some Yuletide trivia on you. Katie and Cort will also talk about their three Christmas ghosts: Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Our hosts are sharing who their ghosts would be and discussing some fond Christmas memories that have stuck with them over the years. Don’t be a Scrooge this holiday season… Reflect on your past, cherish the present, and look forward to what awaits you in the new year. Merry Christmas from the BullCast team!

As we wrap up the year, one thing is on all of our minds: resolutions. Whether that be hitting the gym, eating healthier, or just bettering yourself in general, resolutions are notoriously hard to maintain. This week, we are starting off the episode with a new segment we call Twitter Nuggs where we read some of the funniest tweets on resolutions. In this episode, we’ll also talk about where the tradition came from, why we make resolutions, and why – for the most part – they fail. Stay strong in 2021 and accomplish those goals you set, friends!

If you listen closely, you can hear Santa ringing the bell for The Salvation Army. That’s right! It’s December – the season of giving – so what better time to talk about Charitable Giving? This week, Katie and Cort will be breaking down the psychology behind giving. Yes, it does make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside when we donate, but there is so much more to it. Also, in this episode, we will talk about smart giving (don’t become a charity case when giving to charities!), tax benefits, types of gifts, and the importance of giving. Don’t let that nasty Covid Grinch keep you from giving to those in need this year!

It’s finally December, y’all, so you can officially start the Christmas music and festivities! In this week’s episode, we’re talking all about the stress that goes along with this time of year. Why are the holidays so stressful, anyways? A lot of reasons, actually, including gift shopping and the budgeting (or lack thereof) that goes along with it. Take control of the holidays – and your emotions – this Christmas season by listening to Katie and Cort as they drop some wisdom. Learn how to stick to a budget, learn to say “no”, and don’t abandon those healthy habits just because it’s yuletide.

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and so is the prospect of family members asking you to loan them some cash. Awkward, right? Well, it doesn’t have to be!

Things are a little bit different for this week’s show. As we quickly approach the 2020 Election, we wanted to do an episode about politics. But when you talk politics, things get heated… quickly. So, how did we solve this presidential predicament? By talking only about pop culture, of course. This week, we are breaking down the best portrayals of U.S. presidents in pop culture. We even take it a step further and have our first-ever BullCast debate where Katie and Cort pit their roster of TV/Movie presidents against each other. Who will win, you ask? Tune in to find out. Cue Hail to the Chief, Cam!
