  • サマリー

  • Our story begins in the halls of the University of Iowa, go Hawks! It was there that two seemingly different paths intersected and a friendship blossomed. Despite our different upbringings—Jolene in little Pleasantville, Iowa, and me, Nicole, just across the Golden Gate Bridge in the bustling Bay Area—we became fast friends. And here we are, almost 40 years later, living in a world that often seems intent on drawing lines in the sand and choosing sides. So why "We've Got To Talk"? Because we truly believe that in this deeply divided society, the power of conversation can unite us. Our goal isn't to change each other's opinions, but to listen with curiosity, kindness, and empathy. And yes, to have a good time while doing it! We invite you to join us on this journey and bring your friends along. We might not have all the answers or any of them—but we promise honesty, empathy, and a lot of heart. We hope our conversations give you a fresh outlook or at least entertain you as you go about your day.

  • Are we getting canceled?

    Are we getting canceled?
    2025/04/30

    One wrong social media post. One controversial opinion. That's all it takes to see your business suffer in 2025. Today we’re taking a look at the brutal reality of cancel culture - what actually happens when your views don't match the majority. From death threats sliding into DMs to orchestrated boycott campaigns, Nicole and Jolene reveal the true cost of speaking up in an era where silence feels safer.

    The most dangerous impact of cancel culture isn't the loud voices demanding boycotts - it's the voices we never hear. How many important conversations die in draft folders? How many perspectives get buried under layers of fear? How many bridges never get built because everyone's afraid to take the first step?

    Two women from opposite sides of the political spectrum refuse to let fear win. While Jolene still worries about Dible Dough and Nicole still concerns herself with a potential backlash, we’ve decided that honest, respectful dialogue matters more than playing it safe.


    Your Turn to Talk

    Are you holding back your truth? Have you swallowed your words because the risk felt too high? The conversation continues on Instagram and YouTube channel "We've Got to Talk." Because in a world where cancel culture thrives on division, real conversation might be the only way forward.


    - Nicole & Jolene


    P.S. Thinking about canceling either of us after reading this? Try having a real conversation first. Coffee beats keyboard warfare every time. 😉

  • Disruption in DC: Elon Musk and the DOGE

    Disruption in DC: Elon Musk and the DOGE
    2025/04/23

    It's not every day you hear about a tech mogul transitioning to a pivotal role in government, yet here we are. When Donald Trump appointed Elon Musk as the head of the Department Of Government Efficiency, it sent shockwaves through every corner of Washington D.C. It's a bold move that has us curious, frustrated, and admittedly a bit nervous about what lies ahead.

    So what does this truly mean in the governmental landscape? Only time will tell, but it’s certainly causing quite a stir among Republicans and Democrats.

    As the dust begins to settle, both the support and criticism around Musk’s influence are palpable. From what we're hearing on both ends of the political spectrum, everyone seems to be adopting a cautious optimism—or skepticism. Will the DOGE write a new chapter in the smart and efficient handling of our resources, or are we looking at a costly experiment?

    Ultimately, whether you view this as a weird detour or a necessary intervention, one thing is clear: Elon Musk has galvanized a government ready for an upgrade. Join the conversation, wherever it may lead, because this is undoubtedly a moment that will make waves in history books yet to be written.
