Jobless and thriving

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 08:48:09 GMT

This week we speak on the ‘stay-at-home girlfriend’. The idea has been around for a long time but has only recently become an online trend.

Why are people so pressed about Ariel being black? It’s screaming racism to us!

What do you mean sex is boring?

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 23:15:40 GMT

This week's episode was inspired by the Netflix series “Love, Sex and Goop”, the show is all about erotic blueprints, love, communication and sex. Which got us thinking, in today's era of sex positivity, how many of us are actually having good sex? And how many of us know how to really connect with our partners/casual flings or situationships? Sex is supposed to be enjoyable for everyone but we are never really taught the basics.

We also touch on the Joe Rogan drama, medical misinformation and cancelling problematic voices.

Is the red pill community ruining the concept of a 'healthy' relationship? All this a more in this weeks episode.

For this weeks episode, we touch on a few different topics. The conversation kicks off with our take on the Drake drama surfacing social media, was he out of pocket for putting hot sauce in the condom? We then go into influencer Molly-Mae Hagues comment on a podcast featured on, stating that "we all have the same 24 hours as Beyonce"...but we don't have that lifestyle sis! Was her comment problematic, privileged, ignorant? Or was the backlash and attempt to 'cancel Molly-Mae excessive? Finally, we get into influencer culture, delving into some of the pros and cons.
