Ho ho ho! It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa has dropped off some early gifts for us (yes, we made it on the “nice” list this year.) With a new mixer and mics, BullCast sounds better than ever as we head into the new year. In this week’s episode, we’ll drop some Yuletide trivia on you.

Episode 28: Resolutions
Thursday Dec 17, 2020
Thursday Dec 17, 2020
As we wrap up the year, one thing is on all of our minds: resolutions. Whether that be hitting the gym, eating healthier, or just bettering yourself in general, resolutions are notoriously hard to maintain. This week, we are starting off the episode with a new segment we call Twitter Nuggs where we read some of the funniest tweets on resolutions. In this episode, we’ll also talk about where the tradition came from, why we make resolutions, and why – for the most part – they fail. Stay strong in 2021 and accomplish those goals you set, friends!

Episode 27: Charitable Giving
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
If you listen closely, you can hear Santa ringing the bell for The Salvation Army. That’s right! It’s December – the season of giving – so what better time to talk about Charitable Giving? This week, Katie and Cort will be breaking down the psychology behind giving. Yes, it does make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside when we donate, but there is so much more to it. Also, in this episode, we will talk about smart giving (don’t become a charity case when giving to charities!), tax benefits, types of gifts, and the importance of giving. Don’t let that nasty Covid Grinch keep you from giving to those in need this year!

Things are a little bit different for this week’s show. As we quickly approach the 2020 Election, we wanted to do an episode about politics. But when you talk politics, things get heated… quickly. So, how did we solve this presidential predicament? By talking only about pop culture, of course. This week, we are breaking down the best portrayals of U.S. presidents in pop culture. We even take it a step further and have our first-ever BullCast debate where Katie and Cort pit their roster of TV/Movie presidents against each other. Who will win, you ask? Tune in to find out. Cue Hail to the Chief, Cam!
