  • Ep 10 Delia Garza on Texas Politics & the Latino Vote

    Travis County Attorney Delia Garza joins the show for a straight conversation about where Texas politics actually stands heading into November and why this governor's race is closer than anyone expected.

    Delia's been inside Austin politics for a decade: the first Latina on City Council, the city's first Latina Mayor Pro Tem, and now Travis County Attorney. We get into what Austin keeps getting right and wrong on affordability, the real tension between a city and a state that keeps overriding it, and what the County Attorney's office actually does.

    And we tackle the number everyone in Texas is watching: the Latino vote, how it swung hard in 2024 and swung back in 2026, and whether Gina Hinojosa can actually turn a tied race into a win against Greg Abbott.

    Whether you lean red, blue, or neither, this one's about understanding what's really driving Texas right now.

  • EP 05 - Andrea Walker: Why Low Testosterone Is Ruining More Men Than Aging Ever Will
    Low testosterone, stubborn fat, brain fog, and endless fatigue are not just “part of getting older.”

    Andrea Walker breaks down what your labs might be trying to tell you—and why the right hormone and peptide strategy can completely change how you feel, perform, and show up in life. Rudy gets personal about his own transformation, from feeling depleted and stuck to feeling more confident, energized, and dialed in than he has in years. Andrea explains why so many men and women are living below their potential—and why guessing at supplements or copying someone else’s stack is a mistake. This conversation covers the signs of low testosterone, the importance of bloodwork and foundational health, testosterone replacement therapy, peptides, GLP-1s, energy, recovery, fat loss, sleep, and longevity. More than a conversation about biohacking, this episode is about building a healthier body that supports a better career, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life.
