  • Episode 91: Would You Ever Not Love Me?

    Welcome to episode 91.

    This week we discuss a video that's making the rounds in which a person essentially says that If his woman got fat, he'd 'stop feeding her and tell her to get on the treadmill.'

    Apart from being a disgustingly rude and hurtful thing to say, it's uncouth and shows that the person's attraction is clearly only skin-deep.

    This was sparked after discussion about a footballer's wife being quote unquote, 'Not the norm for such a woman' and the stereotype that such women should 'look a certain way so as not to bring the footballer down.'

  • Episode 83: What Does It Mean To You?

    Welcome to episode 83.

    This week we discuss the ideas behind a good marriage, as this episode airs on the eve of Kirsten and Andre's 17th wedding anniversary.
