We’re Back! Becky and Presley return after a long break with plenty to catch up on, from fall fashion and football to the best food apps and what they’ve been watching.

They talk about the death of Dolly Parton, Mariska Hargitay hosting the Emmy’s, and why so many movies and shows are being filmed overseas. Closer to home, discuss the proposed Dallas Stars arena at Willow Bend Mall, the Mavericks’ plans for the Valley View Mall area.

Then, they touch on the upcoming midterms, Trump’s proposed $5,000 dividend for all U.S. adult citizens, the recent Republican Midterm Convention.
And because it wouldn’t be The Baker Take without a little weirdness, they take on bizarre goat posts, a viral Kennedy-Kash Patel clip and the latest Sydney Sweeney’s backlash.

Plus, Becky and Presley bring back their favorite way to wrap things up: Loves & Hates.

It’s a brand-new year, and Becky and Presley are ringing it in Baker-Take style — with pop culture, politics, and plenty of head-scratching headlines. They kick things off talking New Year reflections and the return of feel-good energy, including Bruno Mars’ latest release and why it’s hitting just right.

Next, the duo heads to the movies, breaking down why theaters are finally rebounding, what’s driving audiences back into seats, and which films are making the big screen exciting again. But it wouldn’t be The Baker Take without a deeper dive into the strange and unsettling — from shocking fraud allegations tied to Somalia aid in Minnesota, to the stunning capture of Venezuela’s president Maduro.

And if that wasn’t bizarre enough, they close with one of the internet’s strangest rabbit holes yet: the cult-like beliefs and followers surrounding Groundhog Day. Yes… really.

Smart, surprising, and just the right amount of unfiltered — Becky and Presley take on the new year with curiosity, commentary, and their signature mother-daughter chemistry. Stay tuned till the end for their Love-Hate pics.

In this pre-holiday episode, Becky and Presley unpack the recent
government shutdown — and why Democrats walked away without any
real wins. They break down the ripple effects hitting Americans right now,
from disruptions to SNAP and food stamps to flight delays and the ongoing
air traffic controller shortages that are complicating holiday travel plans.
Then the duo shifts gears into early holiday mode: what’s trending for gift-
giving this year, why mattress shopping feels like a high-pressure sport,
and how far we’ve come since last year’s holiday season. They also talk
about navigating gatherings with family members who hold opposing
political views — and how to keep things merry rather than messy.
Plus, Becky and Presley dive into what they’re watching: the newly buzzed-
about Peacock thriller All Her Fault, their thoughts on Stranger Things
Season 5, and a roundup of classic holiday movies that set the perfect
seasonal mood.
Finally, they wrap it all up with their signature “loves and hates,” sharing the
pre-holiday obsessions and irritations they just can’t hold back.
