We're back, preseason style — this one's live from the patio of Crows Nest Studios on August 8, under a beautiful DMV sunset, and I'm droppin' my predictions for the squad's record this year.

Appetizer: A fresh kickoff to the season, that football-in-the-air feeling, and my early calls on how the hometown team is about to shake up the year. We're serving it with hometown pride and a side of that “I said what I said” confidence.

Entrée: The latest on the DC Takeover by Trump — week whatever-this-is, and the drama is still boiling over. We're talking the moves, the motives, and why the city feels like it's under a stage light instead of sunlight.

Dessert: On a lighter note, a peek at upcoming activities, books, fundraisers, and brand merch I'm cooking up before the year closes. Sweet, inspiring, and straight from the heart of the DMV hustle.

This week's plate: sports spice, political heat, and a little something sweet to carry us into the next season.
