1:02:01Now PlayingJana 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!
