This week on In Vino Veritas, Ryan and Lucky Fox pour a generous glass of wine (actually one of us was sipping a peppermint stout) and dive headfirst into a whirlwind week in politics and culture. From the thunderous boos that greeted Donald Trump at a New York Knicks game to the latest California primary results, we're unpacking what these moments say about public sentiment, political power, and the state of media.

We break down the races shaping California's future, including the battle for governor and the contest for Los Angeles mayor, while exploring the growing concerns, accusations, and realities surrounding election interference and voter fraud. What should voters actually be worried about? What's fact, what's fiction, and who benefits from the confusion?

As always, expect unfiltered opinions, a few laughs, and some righteous frustration. So grab a glass, settle in, and join us for another round of truth, politics, and conversation.

Because when the wine flows, so do the unfiltered truths.

This week on *In Vino Veritas*, we're pouring a crisp Pinot Grigio and diving into one of the most important civic moments of the year: California's primary elections. We talk about what's on the ballot, why participation matters, and how everyday people have more power in a democracy than they often realize.

As Pride Month kicks off, we also reflect on the importance of visibility, representation, and the hard-fought rights that many in the LGBTQ+ community continue to defend at the ballot box. From politics to culture, we're connecting the dots between civic engagement, community, and the future we're building together.

So grab a glass, pull up a seat, and join us for some unfiltered truths, because democracy works best when everyone has a voice, and as always, "in vino veritas"... in wine, there is truth.

A new voice is joining the table, and trust us—you'll want another glass for this one.

This week on In Vino Veritas, Ryan welcomes new co-host Lucky Fox: wine lover, tarot reader, professional patriarchal nuisance, and fellow believer that the status quo deserves a lot more scrutiny than it gets. Together, we're bringing our perspectives on politics, pop culture, current events, and all the chaos in between—with plenty of laughs, a little righteous outrage, and, of course, good wine.

Whether we're pulling tarot cards, unpacking the latest political headlines, questioning the powers that be, or celebrating the victories worth toasting, we're here for honest conversations and unfiltered truths.

So pour yourself a glass, get comfortable, and join us as we kick off this new chapter of In Vino Veritas. Because when the wine flows, so do the unfiltered truths.

In this episode of In Vino Veritas, we’re unpacking everything from emotional breakthroughs in EMDR therapy to the political chaos of 2025. Trump gets caught threatening “homegrowns” on a hot mic and ignores a unanimous SCOTUS ruling in the Kilmar Garcia case, while RFK Jr. hires an unlicensed anti-vaxxer to lead a federal autism study. We time-hop through pivotal moments in American history — Lexington and Concord, Lincoln’s assassination, the Bay of Pigs, and more — to show how this very week has always been a flashpoint. We wrap with a bit of hope: the National Ground Game is rising, and they’re not afraid to take on Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA head-on. Therapy, history, chaos, and resistance — it’s all here.

This week on In Vino Veritas, we're pouring a heavy glass and digging into the absurdity that is 2025. From defense staff using Gmail to discuss national security (?!), to Cory Booker breaking records with a filibuster in defense of democracy—while we remember Strom Thurmond once did the same to block civil rights.

We break down the “Liberation Day” tariffs and the stock market's nosedive, revisit Trump’s never-ending lie count, and unpack Chappell Roan’s emotional interview on Call Her Daddy that has us all rethinking our relationships with family—and vulnerability.

📱 Influencing: when does "fun content" become tone-deaf nonsense?

Grab your wine. Let’s get into it. 🍷

It's our 10th episode! This week on In Vino Veritas, we’re diving into the chaos with a full-bodied blend of political scandal, tech drama, and public restroom woes. We kick things off with hot takes on why public bathroom stalls are basically confession booths and whether fitness influencers pushing the limits of “workout content” are actually just sex workers.

Then, we uncork the real madness: Canada’s conservative leaders allegedly colluding with Trump to delay tariffs and sway their election, Tesla facing its highest-ever month of trade-ins, and leaked audio of Musk begging Trump for a bailout. Plus, Senator Jon Ossoff’s fiery mic-drop moment on why the U.S. government works for literally no one—including Canada.

Grab a glass and buckle up—it’s going to be a wild, wine-fueled ride. 🍷

Tonight, I’m sipping on Cabernet and keeping it real. I dive into feeling overwhelmed lately—the struggle of balancing parenting, work, and politics while constantly battling guilt for not doing enough. Therapy helps, but let’s be honest—it doesn’t magically fix the chaos.

To lighten things up, I talk about the joy of silly friendships and why sometimes you need a deep dive into Housewives drama more than another doomscrolling session.

Then, we get into the political absurdity of the week. Gavin Newsom’s decision to launch a podcast and give a platform to far-right extremists leaves everyone wondering what the hell he’s thinking. Meanwhile, Justin Eichorn, who has been pushing the nonsense of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” gets arrested for soliciting a minor, proving once again that MAGA hypocrisy knows no bounds. On the legal front, Trump’s executive orders are getting overturned, offering a small but significant reminder that the courts are still fighting back. And to top it all off, Kim K is canceled (again), this time for posting about Tesla’s creepy humanoid robot and catching heat for supporting Elon Musk.

It’s a mix of therapy talk, pop culture nonsense, and political chaos—so grab a glass and let’s get into it. This is In Vino Veritas. Cheers! 🍷

Tonight, I’m sipping on Cabernet and talking about how getting high helps me clean (don’t knock it till you try it) before diving into Lady Gaga’s new album, ‘Mayhem.’ Meanwhile, the Tate brothers are back, and somehow, Mario Lopez, Joe Rogan, and Mark Zuckerberg were part of the welcome party.

On the political side, Trump is openly promoting Nazi symbolism, using the pink triangle in a way that should terrify everyone. We’ll break down the history behind it and why this isn’t just another “Trump being Trump” moment. Plus, Biden’s deportation policies are getting worse, and the quiet erasure of the BLM mural in DC sends a clear message about whose voices are being silenced.

Finally, we talk about Democrats’ refusal to fight back and whether Ro Khanna’s political reform plan could actually shake things up. Oh, and a weird AI interaction made its way into this episode.

Pour a glass, we’ve got a lot to talk about. This is In Vino Veritas. Cheers!

Tonight, we’re sipping on a red blend and breaking down Trump’s first address to Congress—a 90-minute rant filled with attacks on the most marginalized, blatant lies, and pure authoritarian theater. While millions of Americans struggle with real issues, Trump used his time to push culture wars, settle personal grudges, and completely ignore the needs of 60% of the country.

And if that wasn’t dystopian enough, we have to talk about the forcible removal of peaceful Democratic protesters—because nothing screams "free speech" like silencing dissent in the halls of power.

It was a dark night for democracy, but we’re here to dissect every outrageous moment, call out the hypocrisy, and remind everyone why the fight isn’t over.

Grab a glass, because you’re going to need it. This is In Vino Veritas. Cheers!

Tonight, we’re keeping it short and sipping on Syrah as we break down the biggest moments from the Oscars—the surprises, the snubs, and, of course, the political undertones woven into Hollywood’s biggest night. Plus, we tuned in to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party livestream, and let’s just say…it did not disappoint! We’ll spill the tea on all the glam, gossip, and chaotic energy.

But then, we have to talk about the disastrous Oval Office meeting between Zelensky, Trump, and Vance—because wow, what an absolute train wreck. We’ll break down what happened, why it matters, and what the fallout could mean on a global scale.

Blame the faulty laptop for this episode being shorter than usual, but trust me, we’re still packing in all the important (and ridiculous) moments. Grab a glass and join me—this is In Vino Veritas. Cheers!
