But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the world’s first AI government minister, Mariah Carey’s controversial new Christmas ad, the viral Erika Kirk and JD Vance controversy, and Vogue’s piece asking if having a boyfriend is embarrassing in 2025. Finally, in the Mailbag, they respond to a listener seeking strategies to safely reject men without backlash or danger.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the viral TikTok “EBT Lady” on SNAP benefits expiring, the backlash to Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Lover Girl,” and Jameela Jamil’s viral claim that studios are “dumbing down” TV shows for distracted scrollers. Later, they play a Patreon-voted round of “Therapy or the Void?” featuring the characters of Friends.

🎧 This episode asks the question: Have women stopped having each other’s backs or are we just redefining what it means to be a girl’s girl?

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the new “full bush” underwear from Skims, Mackenzie Scott’s major donation to Black cultural preservation, the viral $5.5K “alpha male” bootcamp that’s more parody than power, and Mike Vrabel’s viral feminist gesture during NFL press conferences.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the “Cool Girl” archetype; the effortless, chill, low-maintenance woman who always puts men’s comfort first.

They explore how this imbalance impacts dating, marriage, politics, and even global stability. From radicalization to authoritarianism, the hosts reveal why surplus men pose one of the most overlooked social challenges of our time.

But first, in Tea Time, they cover Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes being banned from YouTube (again), a shocking mass catcalling event in Spain, Suffolk County’s “Top 10 Deadbeat Dads” list, and a listener comment on why women stay in relationships with men.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen expose the dark underbelly of the “Passport Bros” movement, where Western men travel abroad seeking relationships with women in countries that often have less gender equality and opportunity. From exploitation disguised as romance to the illusions of “traditional” femininity, the hosts unpack how patriarchy and colonial fantasies intersect in this disturbing trend. But first, in Tea Time, they celebrate Gwen turning 30, react to a Seaworld mime trolling husbands who won’t carry their wives’ bags, and debate a viral claim that women fought to go 50-50 in relationships. In Feminist Herstory, they spotlight Giulia Tofana, one of history’s most infamous poisoners, and what her story reveals about women’s fight for autonomy in oppressive systems.

🎧 This episode calls out how men flee accountability at home only to recreate cycles of exploitation abroad — and why feminism’s fight against gender inequality is global.
