We're back in business after a short runaway. Imagine packing a suitcase full of short pants to go Miami only to reach there and it's 16 degrees. The cold weather mash up my sinus and voice but we here under heavy home remedies from Parlour Stacy.
We're just in time to go through the Scorch Top 101 Soca of all time. Maybe it ain't as bad as all the fuss we saw on the socials.
We also had the pleasure of taking in Fatima College's Gifts of Gold and Blue over the weekend.

We have a slew of songs lined up for men in this episode with the most famous one being Bassman from Hell and Sharlan Bailey helps us celebrate its 50th anniversary with a modern day interpretation of the banger.

As we run out of US dollars, Uncle Donald is back in charge!! Is this good or bad for T&T? Either way, Colm says nothing changing and the dollar staying where it is but we all know when Yankees Sneeze Trinis catch the Vids.
Will Stuart Young get handed the reins in the same way Kamala took over for Biden? Or will they learn from others by ensuring that the process for a new leader is Democratic (No pun intended).
Outside of the politics we celebrate Tobago once again as Milford Rd has officially been renamed Calypso Rose Blvd and Dwight Yorke is now the head coach of the Soca Warriors and leading the charge toward World Cup 2026!

In this week's episode we start by getting into Randal Mitchell, the only Tourism Minister in the world who wants people to leave the country instead of focusing on getting people to visit.
Maybe he has USD to sell us because the banks certainly aren't selling any US cash  and credit card limits are being slashed.
We spend some time this week delving into what is the cause of the Forex shortage we're facing and look at some potential solutions for individuals, businesses and the country as a whole. What does the future hold for sweet T&T? Of course Kaiso, as always, will help us answer the question.

In this week's Episode we congratulate Darren Sammy and The St Lucia Kings on their first CPL victory. Unfortunately in true West Indian style the victory is overshadowed by infighting between Guyana & Trinidad that has gone way past any imaginable boundary.
The cricket isn't the only reason for regional fighting as Trini's are in an uproar about Shensea & her son being signed as Sunshine Snacks brand ambassadors.
Maybe Trinis are the problem as we're also fighting ourselves over Hyatt's release about no longer accepting $TT while the OWTU is collecting billions of USD.
We soothe troubled waters with some songs promoting regional unity.
