This week we break down the modern fitness hustle — from influencers selling miracle workout plans to the endless noise around “perfect” routines and quick fixes. We talk about what actually works, what’s overhyped, and why everyone online suddenly thinks they’re a certified trainer.

We then jump into how Christmas has changed over the past 40 years, comparing the simple, tradition-driven holidays of the ’80s with today’s tech-heavy, commercialized season. Finally, we revisit the inflation debate: is it truly worse today, or does it just feel that way? We compare prices, wages, and everyday costs across decades to find what’s real and what’s exaggerated.
