We're back again with another episode a week has passed and somehow a lot happened.

Dex has officially entered her white couch era (growth!), Carla shares a voice note from a friend that sparks conversation, and Dex is now claiming her title as a sports girly… to the point where she believes if she doesn't watch the game, her team will lose. Logic? Questionable. Commitment? Real.

With tax season right around the corner, Carla gives her annual reminder to stay alert and read your paperwork — because the scams are scamming. We also get into Venus Williams' five-day wedding, the Cam Newton interview with T.D. Jakes on the NXT Chapter podcast, and how T.D.'s words hit Carla with a much deeper message about purpose, presence, and cherishing the life you're living right now.

Plus, we debate a wild legal story out of Italy involving a restaurant promo video that allegedly exposed a man's affair. Does he have a case? And would he actually win?

A little light, a little deep — just how we like it.

WHAT WE GET INTO

• Dex's white couch era and what it says about growth
• A voice note that sparks reflection and conversation
• Becoming a "sports girly" and superstition logic
• Tax season is coming — don't get scammed, read your paperwork
• Venus Williams' five-day wedding
• Cam Newton x T.D. Jakes on the NXT Chapter podcast
• Messages about purpose, time, and being present
• The Italian restaurant promo lawsuit — does he have a case?

Carla and Dex are officially back for the first episode of the new year and there's a lot to catch up on. After a brief stretch of audio-only episodes, the duo is back in the studio and back in their groove.

From holiday bar crawls and questionable screen time habits to life with Debo the cat, Disney adults, and everything that's unfolded behind the scenes, this episode feels like a much-needed reset. No heavy agenda, just real-life updates, laughs, and that familiar "okay… so what now?" energy.

Hit play, settle in, and welcome back — we missed you.
