Oy, what a week. Jaki (who’s losing her voice), Wendy, and contributor, Alex talk about everything between the Ukraine-Russia crisis, the latest so-called “Trump witch hunt,” Britney speaking out on her conservatorship to Congress, Queen Elizabeth contracting COVID-19, and more.

Joined by our funny friends from the @dontteasetheanimals podcast, Jaki & Wendy sit down with Pam and Sarah to discuss what Galentine's Day means to them, while various dips and dishes sit with timers in the oven.
Apologies ahead of time for the quality of Wendy's mic (which unfortunately was the computer's internal mic or a potato 😂,) but it's all in good fun. As promised, we keep it light on this week's episode, discussing the regulation of NFTs, the interviewing of Scotus candidates, and how one of our favorite Galentines, Dolly Parton is at it again doing a little good in the world (and for her employees.) As always, we appreciate the support - so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and tell a friend about our pod. Happy Sports Ball & Valentine's Day!

The saga of Joe Rogan’s podcast continues, as more artists weigh in, and dive deep into his many years of polarizing content. We also look to the trucker protests up north in Canada, and protests right here after another no-knock warrant leads to another black man dead. We get to catch up with our girl Ime, hear about her new business (which you should check out for your Valentine’s Day needs!) and finish off with a huge jackpot that almost wasn’t claimed in sin city.

Happy Birthday Jaki! For the occasion, instead of podcasting from our respective homes, we clinked glasses in person, in front of our first small (but live) studio audience. It was a slow news week, but we covered all the hot topics from Tom Brady's potential (?) retirement, the massive snowstorm that dumped more than 2 feet on the east coast, to the backlash over a certain podcast, and a very rare opening in SCOTUS. We break it all down for you, over cake and brisket - and serve up some good news too in our Good News Corner.

This one may be a little heavy because our resident agenda maker Jaki could not stop reading through the heaps of negative headlines crossing her screen all week. We do our best to balance it out for you.
From the Senate failing to pass voting rights, to the Jan 6th cases and subpoenas piling up, to the most unhinged speakers at public school board meetings, and the loss of more legendary talent... we give our take on this week's top headlines. But don’t worry, we still managed to find you some good news about getting prescription drugs for cheaper, the youngest woman to fly solo around the world, and a mega jackpot winner.
Thanks for listening - and don't forget to rate, review, subscribe, & tell a friend about our podcast. :)

After dozens of fosters, Jaki has finally foster-failed and adopted an Australian Shepard mix and named her Schuyler Blu (thanks TJ, and to all our other listeners for the great suggestions!) While we could spend the whole pod talking about the Jan 6th proceedings we also managed to get you all the info possible on the Texas temple hostage situation, voting rights, and the legacy of MLK Jr.

Winter weather has been doing its worst, with storms, snow, and ice-making life difficult around the country. That didn’t keep politicians away from D.C. to make their voices heard on the anniversary of the insurrection, but some seemed to be striking a notably different tone than last year. In other, what-are-our-elected-officials thinking news, New York’s mayor has been making headlines at the national level for a series of missteps and suspicious appointments. But, we do have some good news about those yummy to-go drinks we all enjoyed that restaurants (and us customers) can celebrate.

In this first episode of 2022, we pay tribute to one of the greatest of all time, Betty White, who put smiles on the faces of generations of fans.
We also discuss NYE in both NYC and the rest of the world and take a look at what will mark the one-year anniversary of the Jan 6th insurrection.

Another year of adjusted holiday plans, and uncertainty about how we will all be able to ring in the new year. Times Square is toning it down, while medical teams are turning it up to keep pace with the demand for PCR and rapid Covid19 tests. Parts of the Build Back Better plan may make their way to the Senate floor in 2022, and we are getting ready for the midterms as Trump bucks with his party over vaccines with Candace Owens and Sarah Palin.

All eyes on Omicron as Covid positivity rates soar in the U.S. How will this recent spike affect the holidays, and should we expect yet another crowd-less New Year's Eve “celebration” in Times Square? Spiderman sets box office records, while West Side Story fizzles. Elon Musk is Time’s “Person of the Year”...really???
