Where do we start? Canada is preparing for annexation. Europe is getting it's armament on. The UK wants to be a bridge. Ukraine is screwed.
Literally things are changing by the hour so this episode could be out of date by the time you listen to it.
Good talking points include the difference between how the Ukraine situation is playing out here, where it is the only thing being talked about, and in the US where it's just one of many things.
Colonoscopy update also.

Shout out to all the haters of the show - WE LOVE YOU!
Phylecia shares some personal news you don't need to know, but maybe you do.
SKS (Sir Keir Starmer) is basically telling the UK to get ready. Meanwhile, the US is now voting with Russia, Belarus and North Korea at the UN. Strange times.
We discuss how some changes that we're seeing are actually born from earlier times, but now you know about it, and how suddenly when changes affect certain populations, suddenly it becomes a problem.

JD Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference has woken Europe up to the new administration's agenda. And, likely, to European powers increasing their defence spending. Meanwhile, Russia looks on with glee, suddenly back at the top table. All while Ukraine can do nothing while their future fate is decided by people in a different room to them.
We discuss the fall out from the fall out and ask what happens next.

Paul is watching the US from afar and is not liking this season. He hopes next season has better script writers, possibly bringing back Bobby Ewing from the shower.
Phylecia fills us in on all the action from Project 2025 via a list, because that's the only way to get through it.

The Trump administration is not wasting time implementing what they said (and what Kamala warned) they would do.
As the rest of the world grabs the popcorn with trepidation, we go through some of the new rules being imposed at pace.
Hold on to your hats, folks.

TikTok was banned, then it was back. Why? A piece of political theater by 45-47. And now the kids love him.
So, the TikTok CEO joins the rest of the tech bros in the front row of the inauguration and the new world order is complete.
Trigger warning: we are talking about the inauguration and what happens.

LA is on fire. Climate change? Don't be absurd - too reasonable. Arson? Maybe. How about on purpose to create a new 15 minute city? Perhaps it's all DEI.
But DEI is outdated when you have masculine energy in the room. We talk about how corporate life needs more masculine energy. It's the bros' time to shine - but not in a glamorous or effeminate way, obvs.

Mark Zuckerberg says it's time to 'get back to our roots around free expression' on Meta. In other words, the last few years of managing harmful and political content has meant he's not so much in favour with the new Trump administration and Musk has outshone him.
Is Meta just protecting it's commercial interests or is Zuck showing his true colours?

Happy New Year!
We approach 2025 with a sense of vigour and without the seeming foreboding of previous years. That's just us you understand, you may be concerned.
In this episode we discuss how to deal with some of the challenges the year may throw at us, and what our safe space is.
We've come so far from the dark days of 2020.

It's been a couple of weeks, thanks to Floridian trees - no, really.
So we're catching on on what's happened since the last episode.
Paul trauma bombs with his experience of talking to young Gen Z students. We also talk the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, exploding scooters in Moscow, discuss the mysterious drones over New Jersey and ask "what the hell is a plasmoid?"

There's a developing story, just as we are recording. But, by the time you listen to this, the drama of a declaration of martial law in South Korea is pretty much over. Still, it got us thinking about the impact on the world, and Phylecia has a thought about K-POP that could leave you reeling.
Paul is at risk of entering full on prepper mode, so what do we do about all of this?
Phylecia comes to the rescue with some advice for the first few weeks of 2025.

Look, we've lived many years now. We're at least half way through life and we've survived so far.
We've made mistakes so you don't have to. Listen to Uncle Paul and Auntie Phylecia as we share pearls of wisdom. It turns out we're quite wise.

IT'S OUR 200th EPISODE!
But we forgot to acknowledge that on the episode because we're soooo focused on bringing you some analysis on the US election result and what we think it means going forward.
We look at it from a US and UK perspective and look ahead to the future. Why is this decade so exhausting?

We knew that any normal show could be very outdated very quickly. So, instead, let us welcome you to a special episode recorded asynchronously through WhatsApp.
It gives you a real time view of thinking and discussion points. It's also an insight into how we discuss things when we're not recording the show. Yes, believe it or not, you only get a tiny part of our discussions on the podcast.
What do you think to this format? Should we do more like this?

It's less than one week until the US election and the craziness STILL hasn't peaked. We talk about rallies and how racism and dehumanising is not a problem for a lot of people.
We also touch on 'woke churches' and Trump as the messiah. It's all very weird. Join us as we try to make some sense of it and then, either way, breathe a sigh of relief when we can get talking about Gen Z and influencers in the future.

Paul's been to Miami - such a flex. He provides some insight into what he sees as the pre-election atmosphere from an outsider perspective. Phylecia has received her huge ballot paper - she talks through how it works and what the next couple of weeks hold.

According to various sources that we saw about five minutes ago, the kids are saying they don't feel like they are truly an adult until they are 30.
Why? Is it the state of the world? Their parents trying to protect them? The internet?
And why can't they read a book?
We look at what may be causing this anxiety and whether a good old dose of toxic workplace could help.

In this episode we consider things that society just accepts as real but are possible scams. We're thinking seriously normal things - is it culture that has just accepted things as real or is there a potential ulterior motive behind accepted behaviour?
This is just a bit of fun - we promise you we're not veering into conspiracy theories; there are enough of those already.

We all gotta eat. When the bills have got to be paid and the work's just not coming in, perhaps it's time to consider alternative options.
So, in this episode, we look at different ways to make money, increasing in their extremism.
Which would you consider?
