Don't do it

Vacation Regrets, Messy Therapy, Startup Reality Checks & Trump’s $1.8B Fund — Two Cents, No ChangeThe hosts return from a hiatus, urge viewers to like/subscribe, and open with “Collection Plate,” sharing lessons from paying for a Mother’s Day Hawaii trip for their mom and aunts who barely did activities or went to the beach, concluding people can seem unimpressed when they didn’t pay. They discuss restarting therapy and describe two failed counselors—one disorganized and another overly self-focused—while noting the difficulty of finding a Black gay therapist; one host praises his current therapist. They then talk startups and funding, arguing investors fund familiar Ivy-League circles, not outsiders. In “Nickel Slick,” they criticize a reported DOJ plan tied to a Trump/IRS settlement to compensate January 6 allies and mention a tax-audit exemption addendum. They rant about tech surveillance, internet addiction, voter apathy, barbershop misinformation, and an Oprah/AI clip they find vague. Closing “Two Cents” targets dating-show “top/bottom” discourse and concludes the country feels “cooked” after seeing unregistered or evasive young voters.00:00 S2–EP7 Don't do it03:12 Collection Plate11:57 Raggedy ass counselors21:05 The good Ole startups25:18 Squeezing the data right out28:17 Nickel Slick01:01:47 Reading Them Hoes01:09:21 Bo Bo the Fool Barber01:18:01 AI and the new way of life and work01:29:56 Our 2 Cents
