    Throwing it back to season 1, the girls drop part 2 of the “She grown now” episode featuring the insightful Elisa.

  • "I Got Trust Issues"
    Bruised egos, betrayal and self-confidence are the central themes of this week’s episode as it revolves around the interesting question, “What’s worst, not being able to trust others or trust yourself?” Lyds and Merc are joined by the adorable and wildly wise Berhanu (Kebede??) brothers Joseph and David and thank God for that. As the group discusses trust issues and the importance of trusting your gut, we soon discover who’s still butt hurt over petty drama and who has developed the skills to navigate adult friendships maturely. Tune in to laugh at the hosts’ expense and to learn the Berhanu (Kebede??) way of forgiveness.

  • “Holy S***”
    DEADASS takes on Calgary in the season’s first, guest starred episode. Joel the Superfan and Ebe the Notorious Critic join the girls to discuss the relationship between how we talk and how we relate to God and people. The kids talk about swearing, gossiping and roast culture, exploring why people are more acceptable of the latter and uncomfortable with the former. Ebe drops big words and memorable quotes, Joel asks the important questions and the girls hum and nod so make sure to have a pen and paper when you tune in.

  • “It’s time to cut it”
    On this week’s instalment of DEADASS, Lydia and Mercy are accompanied by the bromance that is Nate and Marco. The question at hand is “At what point do you let a friendship go?” and the discussion is more divided than ever. In spite of the boys’ random giggle breaks, the conversation prevails and is even funny at a couple of points. On a real note though, they drop some pointers on how to decide if the friendship is worth fighting for. The hosts and their guests may or may not be friends by the end of the episode. Have a listen to find out.
