TW for severe nihilism / We’re in the trenches... but there’s WiFi! This episode is about what is on everyone’s lips, and surfaces and faces and noses, so be sure to wash your hands. We’re here to bring you and your grandmothers entertainment, movie suggestions, and a meditation on optimism. We wish you safety and calm in the months ahead!

From King Shaka International Airport comes Miss Coco V! Folks, we’re living in the absurd and discussing all things ginger shots, Swedish pop stars, Nando’s silence on COVID-19, and the rental family industry. Be sure to email us at [email protected] with word from the quarantine! Article links we mentioned: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/30/japans-rent-a-family-industry/amp & https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/06/more-scary-than-coronavirus-south-koreas-health-alerts-expose-private-lives

We’re back in the studio this week post-cancelling cancel culture and this time we’re obsessed with shows that are obsessed with us. We wax lyrical about human connection through the gaze of reality television, the magnificence of Kim Kardashian’s tears and the truly iconic reads of that gay man from Say Yes to the Dress! As always, we’re desperado to hear your thoughts and validations, so please email us (truly anything at this point) at [email protected].

TW for mention of sexual assault / Listeners, you’re in for a treat! This week we have Boni Mnisi (aka @sensitive_black_dyke on the Insta streets) as the third mic, chatting all things cancel culture with us. We have more questions than answers about this complicated topic but we hope that our collective three brain cells managed to stretch your thinking. As always, if you have any love letters to Boni, issues of contention, or cease and desist letters, send them through to [email protected]

How was your summer, listeners? We missed you loads and we’re excited to be back and unhinged on the airwaves, talking artichokes, answering some of your questions from last year, and delving into that measly, local event of the Oscars - because “it’s not all war” (Lady Bird McPherson, 2002). As always, our inbox is open at [email protected] if you‘d like to share your thoughts or maybe even make the first move!

We’ve persevered through Dezemba sleep deprivation to discuss two movies we saw in the past week: Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and Parasite! (SPOILER ALERT for both!) We recommend them both and hope you enjoy our thoughts on violence, capitalism, and Tarantino’s foot fetish. As always, pen us emails from your pool lounger in Mauritius at [email protected]

Your fave sist0rz are pre-horny, emotionally vulnerable and want to die, this time with special guest star, our dear friend Grace Matetoa (@phonypolony on Insta). This week we delve into the age-old Hot vs Cozy debate, morbid feminism and pay homage to Sylvia Plath’s gas oven. Was it a Smeg? Who knows? As always, if anything we say tugs at your heart or burning desires, email us at [email protected] or stand outside our windows and tell us how we’ve changed your life!

We’re back! (The reprise) We’ve changed, we’re in flux, and so are you. In this episode we chat ‘90s heartthrobs, the state of being post horny, and the capitalist threat of Ster Kinekor box combos. Kardashians and other billionaires, stay away! As always, if you have any questions/burning desires to tell us how much you think we are hot, email us at [email protected]
