If 2025 didn’t go the way you expected…same. It was worse. In our first episode of 2026, we take a deep dumpster dive into the predictions we made about 2025 and hold them up against reality. We break down what landed, what surprised us, and most importantly, what gives us hope in 2026.

After a bunch of delays, technical hiccups, and the usual chaos, Myzie and Chan are finally talking tariffs. Yep—those confusing little taxes that somehow keep making headlines. We’re breaking down what they are, why they matter, and how politics (looking at you, Trump!) keeps shaking things up. It’s part explainer, part hot take, and totally worth a listen. Save it for later or dive in now—tariffs aren’t going anywhere.
