October came around FAST, and Alex, Kevin, and Wize have plenty to talk about!

This episode kicks off with anime recommendations and the upcoming 2026 Resident Evil reboot before diving into Apple's rumored foldable iPhone Duo.

During What If?, the crew asks whether we were taught to build careers or simply find jobs.

Then it's time for News Break, where the conversation turns to AI security breaches, the soft AI takeover, rising gas prices, and the growing shift toward electric vehicles.

From entertainment and technology to careers and the cost of getting around, the crew brings their perspectives, questions, and plenty of laughs.

Sometimes you need to get out the house, find something to do, and remember there’s more to life than work.

On this episode, the guys talk about solo dates, why Barbados needs more spaces for people to actually enjoy themselves, and the struggle of finding community without every outing revolving around drinking or spending bare money.

What’s one thing you wish Barbados had more of? More spaces for hobbies? Better entertainment options? Somewhere for car enthusiasts? Something we didn’t mention? Hit us up @coopback on Instagram and tell us what you’d add.

Sometimes you have to log off, step outside, and figure out what’s actually keeping you sane. On this episode, the guys talk about beating the after-work slump, why men’s mental health deserves real conversation, and how gaming somehow became both a distraction and a reset button.

From Pokémon Champions having Wize in a chokehold to Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar headline, Barbados’ digital money shift with BIMPay and Google Pay, and the big “what if” of Barbados becoming an oil economy, this one moves between jokes, life updates, and the kind of future talk that only happens when cousins get on a mic.

On Season 2, Episode 3, we start with roadworks that make absolutely no sense, somehow end up talking about printing an entire Pokédex, online chess, and Tekken 8, then finish by debating influencer culture, content creator monetization, and whether Kadooment should be two days. In other words, a completely normal episode of the Coop Back Podcast.
