This week on the pod, we’re talking about the 2026 Color of the Year—and yes, it’s white (groundbreaking). We break down how TikTok is officially taking over the beauty industry, why a tiny Italian restaurant made a huge splash on ABC Nightly News, and the year-over-year increase in food prices that everyone is feeling. Christina is testing viral TikTok beauty products so you don’t have to, while Matthew dives back into soybeans and supporting mom-and-pop shops.
