Hey cousins! This week, we kick things off with life updates before unpacking two viral moments: a white woman buying mammy dolls “to keep them out of the wrong hands,” and a fraternity member getting cut off mid-celebration at the University of San Antonio. We get into intentions vs. impact, respectability, and why some things don’t need saving. We close the episode by sharing our New Year’s resolutions and the goals we’re setting for 2026.
