In Episode 16 of The Know Buddies 757, we start in Trending with breaking developments surrounding ICE operations in Minnesota, sanctuary policies, and the growing political and media tensions surrounding immigration enforcement. We examine protest movements, media narratives, the role of leadership, and the serious public safety concerns raised by newly released information on violent offenders who remained in the country despite long-standing deportation orders. This segment explores accountability, national values, and why this moment matters for families and communities across the country.

In Life Unfiltered, we launch a new series: New Year, New You — The Power of Positive Thinking, beginning with Chapter One: Believe in Yourself. Jackie and Kashmir reflect on faith, mindset, emotional health, self-doubt, and how retraining our thoughts — through God’s Word and intentional practice — can transform confidence, peace, and long-term growth.

Over in Fan Zone, the conversation shifts to the NFL Divisional Playoffs and our reaction John Harbaugh’s firing, along with sports energy as the season reaches its most intense stretch.

And in Gummy Bears, Reddit chaos returns with the unforgettable question:

“I just found out my fiancé and I are related — what should I do?”

A story that delivers shock, humor, and classic internet madness to close out the show.

Real conversations. No spin. Always honest.

In Episode 15 of The Know Buddies 757, we start in Trending Part 1 by unpacking the Venezuela takedown — what’s unfolding globally, how leadership and economic systems are colliding, and what this moment reveals about power, freedom, and accountability.

Then in Trending Part 2, we expose the Somalian fraud investigation — the media silence around it, the institutional gaps in oversight, and why accountability matters more than ever.

In Life Unfiltered, we focus on communication roadblocks — the habits that quietly damage relationships, the emotional blind spots that create distance, and the tools that help rebuild trust.

Over in Fan Zone, we shift gears with a quick NFL update on the Baltimore Ravens & Wild Card Weekend. And in Gummy Bears, Reddit delivers once again — a chaotic AITA story where a fiancé goes through personal belongings without permission, igniting internet outrage and some very strong opinions. 😅

You’ll laugh, think, and maybe cringe — but most importantly, you’ll stay In the Know.

In this New Year’s Eve Special episode of The Know Buddies 757, Jackie and Kashmir take time to reflect on a year that stretched us, shaped us, and surprised us in all the best ways.

We look back on the most meaningful moments of 2025 — the challenges that built our faith, the lessons that changed our perspective, and the memories that will stay with us long after the calendar turns. We talk honestly about growth, healing, gratitude, and what it means to release what no longer serves us.

As we step into 2026, we’re setting bold hopes — not just resolutions, but intentions rooted in purpose, clarity, and trust in what God is doing next.

Whether you're closing out the year quietly, celebrating with friends, or simply needing a moment of reflection, this episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and step forward with hope.

Here’s to new beginnings, steady faith, and a future filled with purpose.
