Question of the Week: What would you wish on your worst enemy?We kick off with Weekly Reddit and the answers range from petty inconvenience to “okay… you didn’t have to go THAT far.” It turns into a surprisingly real conversation about what people actually mean when they say they want karma, and why self-awareness might be one of the harshest things you could ever wish on somebody.From there we spiral into everything else we actually talked about: immortality as punishment (movie talk included), random life observations, and a whole tangent about texting men you shouldn’t, reopening old situations, and how boredom will have you acting reckless if you don’t stay offline. There’s also a throwback story involving moonshine, bad nights out, and learning your limits the hard way.Then we pivot into music nostalgia, birthday expectations (and responding to messages), and a rant about streaming commercials, Amazon/Prime, and the ridiculousness of prescription drug ads, plus how targeted ads decide what your life looks like based on one purchase. And yes, the cat gets her moment too.It’s funny, petty, uncomfortable in spots, and very “friends yapping” the whole way through.Two lives. Two perspectives. One unfiltered conversation.

This week, Jocelyn and Jade talk about how adulthood changes the way we communicate, interact, and tolerate social expectations.Starting with a Question of the Week, the conversation expands into texting etiquette, social availability, overstimulation, workplace behavior, impulse control, silence, burnout, and how aging shifts what feels necessary versus exhausting.If you’ve noticed yourself pulling back, leaving earlier, responding less, or questioning social norms that once felt automatic, this episode puts words to that shift.New episodes every Wednesday.Follow the podcast wherever you listen.

This week, we’re choosing sides on Black pop culture — music, movies, TV shows, and nostalgia moments that still spark debate years later. We talk about loyalty to artists, generational bias, and why certain opinions feel personal even when they shouldn’t.If you love millennial nostalgia, pop culture debates, unfiltered opinions, and conversations that feel like sitting with friends who keep it real, this episode will feel right at home.New episodes every Wednesday.Follow the podcast wherever you listen.

This week, we’re talking about adult boundaries, morality, and the pressure to live by other people’s rules just to avoid conflict. Using a viral Reddit story as a starting point, we unpack shared living dynamics, money boundaries, workplace gossip, and why being “responsible” is often about survival — not superiority.If you’re navigating adulthood while dealing with judgment, unreliable people, or environments where everyone has opinions about how you should live, this episode will feel like a conversation with friends who actually get it.New episodes every Wednesday.

Breakups don’t always end cleanly. Sometimes they end with hurt feelings, crossed lines, and decisions people swear they don’t regret.In this episode, Jocelyn and Jade react to stories about the pettiest things people have done after a breakup and talk through why emotions make people move the way they do. They also touch on coworker trust, oversharing at work, and what happens when someone you confided in repeats your business.If you’ve ever wondered whether something went too far after a breakup, or if you should trust that coworker who feels a little too comfortable, this episode will hit.New episodes every Wednesday.Follow the podcast wherever you listen.

Saying you don’t want to be someone’s accountability partner can shift a friendship instantly. This conversation moves from rethinking personal change to navigating friendships that expect more consistency than you can realistically give.We break down a real situation where opting out caused tension, then widen the lens to talk about uneven effort, routines that no longer fit, and why pulling back often feels worse than staying quiet. If you’ve felt pressure to keep showing up in ways you already know you can’t sustain, this episode will feel familiar.New episodes every Wednesday.Follow the podcast wherever you listen.

This episode starts with a Reddit story so embarrassing it makes you physically uncomfortable, a work accident that turned into a core memory no one would ever want. From there, the conversation opens up into the kinds of moments adulthood doesn’t prepare you for: humiliation at work, navigating family tension without making things worse, and realizing that being grateful doesn’t magically make life easier.We talk about why embarrassing moments hit harder as adults, how family dynamics can turn simple plans into stressful situations, and why it’s possible to appreciate your life while still feeling completely worn down by it. If you’ve ever replayed a work moment in your head, avoided a family situation for your own peace, or felt guilty for being tired even though “things are fine,” this episode puts words to that feeling.
