I Was Thinking…

Happy Valentines Day! (sort of, we are a little early). To celebrate this holiday, we are talking about relationships, but not just your average couple's relationship. Nafees and Simone wanted to take a deeper dive into the word "relationships" by talking about relationships between lovers, friendships, family, and yourself. To help us with this topic we brought back Matt and Rebecca as they tell us their relationship journey with each other, themselves, and their family. They also give great advice at the end about finding love, self-love, and why they are big advocates for therapy.

Welcome to the last round of Guess our Favorite Song - BTS Edition. We finish the game with Map of the Soul: Persona, Map of the Soul: 7, and BE as well as see who the winner of the game is!

*For parts 3 and 4 We felt like raising the stakes so the point system did change. Instead of 30 points for getting the number 1 correct, we made it 50 points and all correct songs 100 points*

Nafees joins us this time as a bonus round for Simone and Macy to gain extra points as they try to guess each other's favorite songs from the Love Yourself Series and Nafees. This might be the most chaotic episode so far out of the whole game.

Welcome back to part 2 of the Guess Our Favorite Song series! Simone and Macy continue the guess each other's BTS songs with the Most Beautiful Moment in Life series and Wings/You Never Walk Alone albums. *We got off topic at the beginning, talking about Mrs. Rona and Christmas, since we recorded this episode before Christmas, so if you want to skip ahead to the game, skip to 15 minutes into the episode*

Welcome as we introduce our new game series: Guess Our Favorite Song! Nafees and Simone are joined by their recurring guest, Macy, as Simone and Macy battle it out to guess each other's favorite BTS song to test their friendship (not really) and see how well they know each other's music taste. If this game goes well, we hope to play with other K-pop groups, but for now, enjoy part 1 of this 5-part series as Nafees, Simone, and Macy go through every BTS album (and yes, we literally mean every album)

Happy New Year everyone! Or is it? On this week's episode of I Was Thinking, Nafees and Simone talk about the future (sorta?). This episode is a mix of talking about the future and rambles about their childhood dream careers, SpongeBob, and aliens? Yeah, it got off topic a lot, but still enjoy the casual and a little deep conversation of where they wonder where this year and the rest of the future takes them. Also, Simone shares her 2018, 2019, and 2020 Apple Music Wrap if you're curious to hear her change in music since discovering Kpop and BTS.

On this week's episode of I Was Thinking, we have our very first guest! Simone's best friend since childhood, Macy, joins the hosts as they talk about their adventure of getting into K-pop. This is very important because Macy is a very important factor in Simone's journey. Since K-pop and certain K-pop groups will come up throughout the podcast randomly, they thought it would be best to share their stories of how they discovered the genre. Tell us your Kpop journey and if there are any groups, old or new, that you think Nafees, Simone and Macy should check out. 

***Towards the end of the podcast, things get a little real as Simone takes some time to talk about her feelings and things she has noticed as a black K-pop fan in the messy year of 2020. All of her criticism is towards K-pop and American entertainment companies only and hopefully, she is able to get her point across even though there are some times she may have misspoke (like when she says we but shes mostly talking about herself or her group of friends that she's discussed these issues with in-person).  Nonetheless, these are just her feelings and opinions on things that affect her personally. 

The moral of the story of this episode is to enjoy whatever it is that makes you happy and don't let anyone try to shame you for trying to find joy in this crazy circus we call life, especially if you are black because we already go through so much stress in life.
