Ep. 68 - It’s Giving White Relocation Act
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jana and Brian kick off 2026, immediately spiraling into New Year “goals,” scammy influencer fitness plans, and the bleak reality that January is just a crowded gym with a calendar. Then the episode takes a HARD pivot into politics and Indigenous rage: Kristi Noem catching strays, a crash course in colonization, and the debut of the White Relocation Act–complete with a “five white passes” draft list for allies, boyfriends, and essential celebs. Finally, two callers bring the real: burnout from nonprofit/legal work and the emotional trap of serving your community at the expense of your own health. Jana and Brian deliver the only advice that matters: set boundaries like your life depends on it (because it does), make a strategic pivot if you need to, and let Gilmore Girls guide your career arc straight into your Paddington-era softness!
