This week, it’s just Tayo and I, and we’re diving deep into some real conversations about money, morals, and community.

We start by discussing our personal views on lending money and helping others, how we navigate those situations, and where we draw the line. Then, we shift the conversation to a bigger question: Would you do anything for a sum of money?

Tying this into the recent situation involving Stormzy, Palestine, and McDonald’s, we share our thoughts on the controversy and challenge our audience to be consistent in their outrage, not just selective about what they choose to be upset about. We also emphasise the importance of building our own communities, supporting each other, and moving past constant criticism and performative outrage.

This is a real, unfiltered discussion you don’t want to miss! 🎧 Tune in, and let’s talk about it.
