4 Guys Go Off The Rails

Here's the continuation of the conversation from last week. This is the spicier part of the conversation atink...

Where are these men really coming from when they say these crazy things about child-bearing, child-rearing, and relationships? Let's just have a conversation, humor these people a little bit, see if we can make some sense out of their feelings and what's coming out of their mouths.

Happy Black History Month, even though it's been over.

We're curious, how much say should a man have in deciding if a woman who he got pregnant should keep the baby or not? This is more a think piece cos the topic is a really heavy and emotional one, (spoiler alert!!) we didn't really have answers but we'd love to hear what you think. (Please listen first before you get heated, we know it's about abortion) P.s. We apologize for not uploading last week, nepa off light for Dallas.

The guys, joined by our rich friend Mary, had a conversation about red flags both in men and women. This topic was suggested by an amazing supporter, shout out to you! Join the conversation using our social media handles; Twitter: @4GuysGoOFF Instagram: @offtherailspod

We had a whole conversation about molding your partner into the perfect version of themselves, because that's a good thing right?...right guys? Tell us what you think on our socials: Twitter- @4GuysGoOFF Instagram- @offtherailspod

It's ideal to set your standards and stick to them, but keep in mind that other people are probably doing the same, so ensure that you meet the standards of the people who just so happen to meet your standards...to avoid long talk. Shalom.

At this stage of our lives (Age group: 20 to 30), do we need money to date women and have relationships? Contribute to the conversation on our Twitter, Instagram, and Clubhouse.

The year 2020 was a lot and we decided to unpack it on the podcast. We are making a lot of changes in the new year, so this is the closeout of this season. Expect much better content and new directions in the future. Thank you for going through the year with us. We absolutely love all y'all and we hope we get to interact with as many listeners as possible.

We got into a conversation with some friends about the Black Lives Matter movement, the opinions and views differed a lot and we thought you should hear it cos it made for a very interesting discussion.

My guy no vex abeg, this episode is all over the place, mostly cos of the Playoffs, but also because we just came to fight women and that's always a tight affair. Please listen and be patient through the lows cos there are so many gems and def many reasons that will make you want to fight us. Enjoy!!

As the Issues in Nigeria seem to be never-ending due to the gross incompetence of it's "rulers", we have to continue speaking till we accomplish something any way possible. #NOTMYOBA

END SARS NOW!! Not redeploy, not reform, just end SARS now!

It's been a minute but this life no really balance, so we hope you understand. We wanted to have a conversation about fathers and our relationships with them, it was very on-the-spot and not fully formed but we hope you enjoy what we were able to come up with, and maybe later we'll revisit the topic with some input from y'all.

Allow us to re-introduce ourselves...

This episode was supposed to be just a rant before the actual conversation we were planning to have but apparently the guys were angry cos the rant became the entire episode, so we hope you enjoy listening to this one. Please join the conversation on Twitter and/or Instagram, we would love to get more views on the topic. P.S. The new rant is at the end of the episode and it's probably the funniest part of this entire episode.

We've been gone for a while and we apologize, we know we need focus but this life no really balance and problem no dey ever finish. So, we can't really promise it won't happen again. We talk about Nigeria and I promise if you are Nigerian or just curious about the place and it's people and history then you're going to want to hear the conversation that we had here. There's a lot more but it would make for an overly long episode, maybe we'll upload the rest later, maybe it'll make it to our Patreon...we'll see.

Due to popular demand, It's finally here, the part 2 that several of you have requested multiple times (honestly, there's actually more that we wanted you to hear but decide to take out even though it's hilarious. Maybe when we eventually drop our lost tapes on the Patreon it'll be part of what we release). Thanks again for fucking with us, every time things like this happen and we have people hitting us up, we realize how a lot of people actually care about what we have to say and it's humbling. We love you all. P.S. The audio quality complaint you're thinking about is because eight opinionated people are trying to talk over each other. We apologize.

Leeemao! You're probably wondering; "where's niggas ain't shit part 2?" Not here haha! But for real though, we'll probably put it up next week...probably...maybe... Until then, abeg use this one take hold belle. The boys chop it up and just give their takes on some of the things happening right now. Listen till the end, we're funny.

There's a little tribute to George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement at the beginning of this episode. This one is a little older than some of the ones posted before it. Alright, we promised we'd talk about how niggas ain't shit and we've come to deliver on it. We, however, didn't feel completely unbiased on the topic so instead of compromising the conversation, we got 4 very intelligent and beautiful ladies to take on the conversation and tell us things from their many personal experiences from dealing with niggas. This episode is supposed to be the antithesis to "The one where 4 guys talk about how women annoy them" (go check it out if you haven't already). Also, the conversation was very long, so this is just part 1 of a 2-part recording (we'll drop part 2 next week...maybe).

As promised, here's the second part of the 2-part mental health conversation. Once again, this is us just talking about our personal experiences and we hope that they can resonate with someone listening. Thank you for vibing with us and caring enough to listen to our stories. P.S. This episode came out with the volume very low and wouldn't get louder regardless of all the efforts expended as we went back to attempt to redo the editing multiple times (and for no reason too). Sorry, please bear with us and use speakers. Garageband is the worst and we need to transition from it. We are open to pocket-friendly suggestions...or...erm...donations *coughs*.

For a long time, we have been meaning to talk about this from our perspectives and experiences and coincidentally, when we got around to it, the timing was just right. We just had a very emotional and open conversation about mental health and we hope that someone else, even if just one person, will listen to this and get some kind of respite, however little, and maybe find the courage to speak to someone about their experience. We split the recording into 2 parts and we'll put up the second part soon, so stay tuned.

First off, check out part 1 on Biased Reality's podcast (it's on your platform of choice) This is really just a continuation of that conversation. Racism is prominent worldwide, whether you reside in U.S.A or Australia, the color of your skin seems to affect your reality, and here's why it's a difficult conversation to avoid. Also, we're not by any means radical, we just believe conversations need to be had around the reality of the world and some of these things aren't very easy to hear but honesty on our part is all we have to give. And give we must.

This episode was very heavy and quite difficult to create because of the current climate in America. We as Nigerians living in America are by no means insulated from the racial prejudices that come with the color of our skin. If you have ever listened to any of our episodes then we don't have to explain any further how we feel about any and all white supremacist ideals, actions, and rhetoric, as well as racial discrimination. On that note, we just want to express this; all lives don't matter until black lives matter. This is the second part of a two-part episode (see part one on the dual podcast "Who's really the catch"), we lost the first recording and had to do it again. This is very different from how the conversation went the first time but it only felt right to let the conversation flow naturally. We talk a little bit about how women are prepped for marriage versus how men are prepped for marriage...or not prepped...

This was actually supposed to be our very first episode ever till we decided we went way off the rails (which is actually how we came up with the name for the podcast) but eventually, we've decided to put it out and we hope we can somehow manage to get our message across. We just chopped it up and talked about how we suffered in boarding school in Nigeria, no big deal...

This is another one of those episodes where the guys just drink, eat, (some of us may or may not have been smoking a blunt), and just pick on some controversial tweets off the internet and just have outrageous conversations. Most recently we've had content with serious tones, this is a reminder; don't be deceived, we're not that serious abeg.

We found an excerpt of a letter that King Leopold II of Belgium sent to missionaries as they prepared to go to Congo, and he basically told them to forget this gospel thing and use the teachings to promote the Belgium interest so that they could exploit the land for its resources, acquire the country and enslave the people without them putting up much resistance. Yeah, you read right. We are lucky to be joined by some friends with some knowledge and authority on the subject who help dissect it as much as we can.

This is just a little rant about foolish religious leaders and the people who blindly follow them. Dazz all.

The guys discuss body positivity for men. We talk a little about body dysmorphia and our personal experiences with it. These conversations are had a lot around women especially when it relates to body shaming and mental health, however, with men, not so much. There's so much we believe we still left unsaid, so...part 2 maybe...?

We are overwhelmed by the love we've received since we launched and we just wanted to show some appreciation for all the love and give some shoutouts. We couldn't call all the names but we did mention a few. To the people we didn't directly shoutout, we love you just the same. Thank you for rocking with us.

4 guys rant about how women annoy them, they talk about things from online dating to ghosting and other things.

In this episode, the guys talk about their experiences as international students/expatriates (of a sort). They talk about the challenges of immigration and making a living as it regards to being a student and then a working-class person without having citizenship in America (but still being legally allowed to study and work here. Abeg o!!).

In this episode, the guys just wanted to do a test run and ended up talking about a bunch of topics that will get expanded on in subsequent episodes. We really were just chopping it up and having a good time. We don't intend to offend people but you did see the name of the podcast right? We, however, welcome feedback, both supportive or otherwise.
