In this episode of Past Present Pushback, the crew dives deep into three powerful conversations. We kick things off with a full NFL Week 2 recap—breaking down the biggest games, standout performances, and surprises around the league. AZ then takes us into an eye-opening discussion on climate change and healthcare reform, unpacking the statistics, the policies, and how everyday people can get involved. CDA closes with a heartfelt exploration of single-parent households—looking at the numbers, the challenges, and the path back toward stronger two-parent families.

This episode brings together sports, politics, and family life with engaging insight, real talk, and a pushback on the issues that matter most.

Get ready for a full-court press. In this week’s episode of Past, Present, Pushback, XO breaks down the most electric moments from Week 1 of the NFL season, touching on epic comebacks, rookie standouts, and what Micah Parsons in Green Bay means for the league.

Then, AZ dives into today’s cultural crossroads: DEI vs AI. Did you know that 78% of businesses have adopted AI — even as nearly 55% of employers aren’t sure if it helps or harms diversity hiring? Plus, 54 of the 81 biggest companies have quietly removed DEI language from their reports, signaling a deeper shift away from equity initiatives.

Finally, CDA brings it home with a powerful reminder: women are the backbone of families and communities. Among Black mothers, more than 80% are primary, sole, or co-breadwinners — a quiet testament to resilience and strength that often goes unseen.
