It has been an interesting week filled with displays of dominance in the sporting arena and astonishing tales of luck and drama TheNineToFivers detail their harrowing experiences not in day to day life but in the space after falling asleep. It was a vivid and realistic experience which is not typical as a lot of people are not able to remember or accurately communicate what transpired at the point of waking up. How do you like to communicate? Texting, phone calls, face to face, emails? There is a variety of ways to do it, but do we tend to gravitate towards one more than the others, is it purely situational or is there a distinct preference one way or another? Does being too accessible bite away at your free time? If you attempt to find out the reason behind someone’s message or call too early is that too cold or just an efficient thing to do? Something important that is not always as efficient as it should be, is the adoption service. There have been a number of cases where people have not gotten their preference due to availability or other issues and because of that you have the rare cases of transracial adoption. Is it natural for things out of the norm to garner stares or is it a bad trait that should be actively trained out of you? Sometime even if we stare we are not able to see the full picture and often our mind can jump to conclusions and form a perception that is vastly different from reality. Why do we do this? It is not exclusive to situations we look at but sometimes even how we view ourselves. Take a listen to another engaging episode of TheNineToFivers Podcast.

Quotes. We hear them all the time, most go in one ear and out the other but on occasion there are a few that stick out and become mantras that we live by at the places we spend the most time at be that home school or work. By the time people are of working age statistically for the average person work is where most of your day is spent. This can lead to a work family being formed from work mum and dads that look out for you and help you out like your parent would to people of similar age becoming work wives or husbands. Supposedly work environments are happier when you have these close relationships however is there any danger of lines being blurred with so much time being spent together? For the single folk there is no issue, but it starts getting sticky when people with partners and spouses become too comfortable with their work colleagues of the opposite sex. Marriage itself is viewed negatively amongst a growing number of people but what are the reasons? Are there too many bad examples from celebrity couples to people's personal lives. Is the destructive nature of divorce off putting especially for men? Why do so many marriages struggle? In fact, why do so many relationships struggle to last the distance? Are we complicit by simply not looking beyond the superficial surface of the people we choose to date? Are we guilty of trying to mould people into holes they don't fit? Whatever it is, there are numerous marriages and relationships that do work out and for a lot of people the next steps tend to be kids but with the average cost of a kid ranging between £100-200k are people still willing to have lots of children? With both genders focusing on careers, is the status quo of old being removed? Black people emboldened by the continual injustices around the world are now speaking up in an outward manner and forcing light to topics that too often have been condemned to the darkness. From John Boyega to Ashley banjo, Lewis hamilton to Stormzy. UK stars are using their platform to raise awareness and bring about change but is it time the UK itself do more by returning stolen artefacts for example?

Have you ever heard of the term black English? If you haven’t you are not alone black british is the commonly used term, however why is this the case. TheNineToFivers explore why this is and what it actually is actually means to be English. Are English flags a symbol of bigotry and hatred or just simply displays of patriotism. So often black brits have struggled with their actual identity until they realise they are a unique blend of cultures that contribute to the UK as we know it. The problem has been far worse however for Black Americans whose culture was stripped from them completely. This is perhaps why despite opening the realms of possibility for black people around the globe, black Panther particularly gripped so many African - American hearts. It was a chance for a reconnection to the motherland, a futuristic imagination of what Africa could be had things turned out differently. It was because of this that Chadwick Boseman’s tragic and sudden death resonated sharply with many of us. He diligently carried out the role of T’Challa and featured in a number of films in the lead up to his death all whilst battling colon cancer. It is interesting how some people can lead short but impactful lives whilst others can live long unfulfilled ones without purpose, but would things be different if we all received a set of instructions for life itself? Would it make everybody content? Or would it just set limits on creativity? In a time where creators are trying to break out of the limits of what is perceived as normal, Joe Budden opened dialogue potentially at his own expense that will surely benefit creatives in the long run. Will Spotify live to rue their letting their number 1 podcast go? Barcelona also seem to be in the same position with their star player of the last 15 years determined to make an exit. Is there ever a bad way to leave a job? Are their lessons to be learned from other people’s exits? There were certainly lessons to be learned about from childhood from all the cartoons and anime consumed it begs the question whether there are more concealed messages in these art forms than we realise? Check out all these topics and more in a heartfelt episode of TheNineToFivers Podcast.

Fresh from the last week divisive topic, 2tones gives his final stance on femininity and it quickly becomes a discussion on female and male nature once they reach powerful positions. What would make lure each gender away from their partner? Is there a difference? Sometime reinvention means you outgrow your partner, your friends and your environment however people who have not interacted with you in a while will still have an expired version of you in their minds. Sometimes shaking old tags and labels can be difficult especially in an working environment. How do change an impression of you when people's minds are set? Do you need to? In an interesting take about reinvention, what would be the outcome if instead of jail time, young offenders were sent to the military? Would anything change? The guidance of young people has always been paramount to any thriving society. Does making them stay in school until 16 stifle their development? Would allowing them to make money earlier help those uninterested in the traditional path? With the emergence of social media, and avenue has opened up for money to be made whilst in school but what if social media had opening and closing times. How would that affect normal people and influencers? One Influencer Sideman made a courageous and bold move and resigned from his BBC 1xtra position. The BBC decided to stand behind their brazen use of the n word by not one, but two white women in a week. It is very likely that without Sideman's swift and dramatic departure and the subsequent outpouring of support, the black community would likely still be waiting for an apology that was never coming. But what about the actual use of the n-word? Should it be taboo for white people to say when black people regularly use it? Will systematic racism ever end? Find out all this and more in thought provoking edition of TheNineToFivers Podcast.
