  • Episode 23 - The Cooling Off Period
    As 2Tones Kicks us off this his own movie-esque rescue of an abandoned suitcase the release of Bad boys for Life prompt the team to discuss the state of movies in current times. Are Superhero movies and reboots all we get nowadays or are original films just hiding in plain site? Will Smith in particular is a skilled man of many talents who has been living his best life on social platforms at least. It begs the question do we under utilise our ability to access information? The internet is littered with infomation, tutorials and guides on virtually everything and a large pecentage of it is free. Why don't we utilise it more?  Even Stormzy, a man of wealth and abundance has recieved critisism for not improving his speech skills before he did his American Radio Tour. Do we just improve ourselves reactively rather than proactively?  But that was not the only talking point to come from the interviews. As Stormzy professed his feelings for Maya Jama and apologized numerous times, theninetofivers ponders on whether apologies are actually effective. According to Stormzy he disrespected her by doing a madness  after they had broken up (#blackmendontcheat), but were still talking. Is there really a cooling off period once you break up? Or do we have liberty to do what we want? Find out our thoughts on all these topics and more including Paris fashion week and celebrities wilding on the latest ep of theninetofivers podcast!

  • Episode 22 - They're always watching👀
    Episode 22 - It has been an interesting week and a bit where Stomzy, Wiley and a Wig of all things have have dominated recent news and memes. The ninetofivers share their opinions on these trending topics and wonder do we as a people make everything a joke? WW3 memes have come out in abundance since Trumps bombing of a senior Iranian official and whilst some people are outraged, the masses seem to be entertained by the influx of memes generated from this action. Are we just desensitised to events now or is this just a coping mechanism. Australia has been burning for months and yet whilst it is reported in mainstream media, the doesn't seem to be an overwhelming concern in the community proportional to the crisis at hand. Is January the best time to quit your job and start searching for a new one. Harry and Megan certainly think so, the ninetofivers discuss the furore behind this and the underlying reasons behind this. Many people hve claimed this is a racist act and yet many do not see it this way. How can people living in the same society see things so differently? Whilst shared ideology is not common the fact that we are under surveilance in more ways than one is a commonly held thought. Listen to our thoughts on these topics and more in the latest episode.

  • Episode 21 - “Y'all Need Jesus” Ft The Corporate Christian
    This week theninetofivers are joined by the Corporate Christian Winnie! 2 weeks into 2020 and the devil is hard at work already, XO shares his first L of the year which leads to a larger discussion about faith, karma and God at large. The statistics show the world is becoming more religious and the group share their theories on why this is. Is delivery of the message outdated? Do churches like spac nation have the right idea in principle even if execution is questionable? Where is the line drawn between freedom of expression and belief vs the laws of the land?  With a few denominations of Christianity accepting the LGBT movement it begs the question does Homosexuality have a place in christianity? Winnie gives us her thoughts and a lot more as we wade through these sensitive topics and areas that most actively avoid.  Stay tuned for another action packed and insightful episode.
    The topics discussed in this podcast are divisive by nature and all efforts were made to ensure there was no offense taken however viewpoints will not be stifled on this show and filters will not be applied. These are important topics which needs more people willing to engage in  for the sake of progessive discussion. If this is done enough hopefully at the bare minimum feelings of mutual respect & understanding for other people's way of life  will be the overiding sentiment no matter what side of the argument they fall under.  Thanks for your support please remember to like, share and subscribe.

    Boris Johnson and his merry band of conservatives have won the general election and whilst it was a shock to most of London, 2tones was not suprised. The ninetofivers discuss their view points before branching off into festive talks and as the annual Christmas Party rolls around tales of office scandals and secret santa's soon roll over into Christmas Gift and Christmas Card. Do we still give and recieve them or is that a practice reserved for our youth? As another year draws to a close many people have return to Africa to celebrate Christmas and New years, Is this the new wave? Or is it the new wave if you have the money? How do we save with so many things competing for our money? XO and 2tones share their tips and experiences on money management and the importance of humbleness when seeking knowledge for greater financial mastery. If someone as successful as Diddy can have a mentor then surely we can take tips from this act and look for our own in all aspects of life. Is it as easy as it seems to gain a mentor? Or is this something we have to actively seek out? The science of words and procrastination are also explored in another exciting ep of theninetofivers podcast, make sure you tune in and like, share and subscribe!

  • Episode 17 - Financial Times Ft Yaw (Pip Nation)

    Following on from the guest feature last week, theninetofivers are graced with another guest Yaw. As we soon enter a decade where most of us will have kids if we don't have them already, Yaw's brain is picked as a father of 2 young children. What is the correct way to raise children in today's day and age? Do we draw from our own experiences in childhood and replicate the often hard handed measures that our parents took or do we succumb to the softer  modern way of doing things? How do you shield your child from the dangers of the world without leaving them unprepared for the harsh realities of life? This is not before the group discuss the much anticipated AJ vs Ruiz 2 fight; it is a fight that generated a lot of interest, discussion and money. As most of us are not in Anthony Joshua's  financial bracket, Yaw drops harsh insight into how our mindset stops us from being financially free, potentially even millionaires. As he navigates his own way to a million he shares with us his business ventures to date and details his latest business where he is putting up £100,000 of his own money. Find out about what this is all about and tune in to our latest episode.
