Is checking your partner’s phone a red flag… or just due diligence?

When we first started dating, Augustus checked Alexis’s phone and didn’t see it as a privacy violation — to him, it was a necessary background check. Alexis strongly disagreed.

In this episode, we unpack phone privacy, trust, cultural expectations, and where boundaries should exist in relationships.

This isn’t about right vs wrong, it’s about perspective.

Do you believe couples should have phone privacy, or full transparency?

Should spouses rely on each other for simple, basic things, or should they be able to handle themself? A conversation about independence, expectations in relationships.

In our debut episode, we kick things off by sharing why we decided to start this podcast in the first place and the meaning behind its name. From there, we dive straight into a conversation that has been bothering us for a while: adults kissing babies on the lips. Is it harmless? Is it cultural? And at what age does it become uncomfortable? We unpack all of it with honesty, humor, and a little bit of chaos.

We also get into the realities of navigating interactions with in-laws, including the subtle tensions, unspoken expectations, and funny misunderstandings that come with merging families. Finally, we explore the culture of respect in Nigerian households — what it looks like, how we were raised, and how those expectations show up in adulthood and marriage.

It’s candid, it’s opinionated, and it’s the perfect introduction to who we are and what this podcast will feel like moving forward.
