In this episode of Being Extra, Jeni and Phillip break down Trump's April 2nd tariffs and what they really mean for your bank account, your grocery bill, and your future. From soaring prices on peaches and poultry to stock market free falls and potential job losses, we dig into how these so-called “patriotic” policies are hitting everyday Americans—especially right here in South Carolina.Are we heading toward a trade war-fueled recession? Is Congress finally pushing back? And who actually wins when tariffs take center stage? Tune in for the facts, the fury, and of course—the extra.

In this episode of Being Extra, Jeni and Phillip take on the mystery, the madness, and the mess of political polling. After years of polls getting it wrong—2016, 2020, 2024—can we actually trust them? Or are they just astrology for political nerds?Jeni breaks down the numbers, why polls keep underestimating Trump voters, and how Democrats' approval ratings are hitting historic lows (according to polls, anyway). Meanwhile, Phillip keeps it real—do people even answer pollsters anymore? Are these surveys capturing actual voter sentiment, or just the opinions of people who love talking on the phone?Together, they debate whether Democrats should be panicking over bad polling, how the media gets election predictions so wrong, and why voters are tired of being told what's supposed to happen. And as always, they ask the big question: Are polls a valuable tool, or just political theater?Tune in for fiery takes, plenty of side-eye, and a reality check on whether polls really shape elections—or just shape our expectations.Listen, subscribe, follow, contact us, sign up to be a guest: https://linktr.ee/BeingExtraPodcast
In this episode of Being Extra, Jeni and Phillip dive into the chaos surrounding the latest budget bill and the growing fractures within the Democratic Party. They break down what the bill actually did (spoiler: billionaires win, working people lose), why House Democrats fought against it while Senate Democrats caved, and what a government shutdown could have meant.The conversation gets heated as they explore the deep divisions between progressives, moderates, and centrists—are Democrats fighting for the right things, or just fighting each other? And most importantly, if Democrats can't unite, are they handing Republicans another victory?Jeni and Phillip keep it extra as always, calling out both parties, debating whether Democrats need to toughen up, and asking the big question: When we fight, do we really win?
Trump just gave his first speech to Congress in his second term, and whew… it was a lot. From fearmongering to false claims to straight-up authoritarian vibes, we're breaking it down. In this episode of Being Extra, we talk about some of Trump's wildest statements, highlight the Democratic response from Sen. Elissa Slotkin, and—most importantly—talk about how we turn the fight into real wins. With two key special elections in Florida on April 1st, now's the time to step up.

Have you developed a new version of yourself? Jeni saw a saying the other day, you will have to listen to the episode to learn more about the saying. Jeni talks about how the last year has changed her, heck how she is a different person from 5 years ago. Every incident and situation you have been through in your life causes you to change. Every time you go through a relationship, a friendship, heck even a conversation with a random person, a part of you changes. Everyday is an opportunity to learn and grow. Everyday is an opportunity to level up.

Today Jeni talks about the importance of talking about things if you are ready. It is important to say stuff if it needs to be said. But, it is also important to ensure you are prepared for that.

Jeni lost her father almost a year ago and never got a chance to talk to him about things from the past and now she hold onto those things in her life. Say it, if you are ready, however, at the same time, you don't know what tomorrow will bring.
