Happy New Year!!! It's a new year but it's still the same old podcast! The road to 100 continues and all I can say is that you guys are the real MVPs cause this s**t ain't easy. With a new year brings new guests and these two really don't need a further introduction. What do you get when you mix Karen with Gbemi? Apparently you get Kemi but hey I'm not popping their ting down (still doesn't make sense) These two let me know about their new year resolutions and what they think of mine. It's always nice when you stick to a resolution so I hope mine isn't too extreme sha. We're optimistic about the new year aren't we? AREN'T WE? I'll let you answer that one on your own. I don't think I know two women more combative than these two and they had a lot to say about my business model for throwing events. Selling front on a dating website like Hinge might not seem like an ethical model but the results say we're on to make another 20k this year. Someone find me Alan Sugar let me pitch this asap cause these girls don't see the vision! Speaking of vision, how do you plan your life around having children? Is that something you're even considering and how best do you assess whether your partner is the right fit? Deep questions right? All that and more this week so join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Karen (@karenasamoah_) , Gbemi (@gbemiolokox) Make sure you follow their podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1N5GBOYJOMkwddkSKxhPu1?si=fd465f79c36944f9

Now that you've eaten everything under the sun this Christmas, sit back and enjoy another episode of RS. This week we're back with the most talented creative around! Film maker extraordinaire, Safeen the dream! ANNND ACTION! This week we delved into her world that is everything film and what it's like being a creative in such an industry like the one she's in. All I can say is that it runs in the family! She was born to do this and boy did she drop some gems this episode. Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Safeen (@jehosafeen) Check out her latest project - "AWAY FROM THE FIELDS" https://vimeo.com/765081898

4 THE STREEEEETS! The boys are back in the studio with me this week and it's always fun cause you never know where this episode could go. We begin with RMJ having his drink spiked in Malta. Yeah. I know. Like I said, you never know where this episode could go. From potentially fighting in parties to making phone calls to your voicemail in the club. It's all over the place mate I tell ya but you'll never seen Adam near any of this madness cause he's too busy recording the whole thing! TMZ we got a star on the way!! Quick question for the guys. You're about to get married and your S/O (significant Other) is having her face beat by someone you've had history with. Do you inform your S/O or you keeping things hush! Till death do us part babyyyyy. Some man are saying they'll write the truth in their Will. Hm. If you get to the end of the episode you'll hear a particular scenario I think might leave you flabbergasted. I just want to conclude by saying after God, FEAR WOMEN. Enjoy this week's episode with your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) and this week's guests: Adam (@adz1307) , Rico (@ricoofficial__) , RMJ (@_rmj365)

The road to 100 is fast approaching... I know I should've been there a while ago but one day at a time right? We back to it this week and who better than the Alpha Tales Podcast! Turns out Johnny & Kofi are the new Jay z & Beyonce. I'm not gonna address who the Beyonce is but make sure you put #goals in the comments cause these guys be going on dates now. Two men in the cinema, in the dark, sharing popcorn... Very romantic I must admit but we love love and dem tings deya! You probably read the title thinking "what on earth..." but hear me out. Bloodflow is important. Essential really. This might be cryptic code for something but I think i'll let you listen to the pod to figure out what that means. All I can say is, sometimes you just gotta finish the job! Join your host (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Jonny (@jonny_abbs), Kofi (@kofi.jord), Nick (@nicholasdharvey_)

OH YOU THOUGHT I WAS FEELING YOU? YES. YES I AM. I know I left you guys in the mud without saying anything and Quite frankly I can't even explain this one. Well i can but let's just say life gets a bit lifey but I promise you I'm here to stay! Imagine a world without Real Soulful? Yeah me too that's impossible so we're back and this week I brought some Baby Boyz with me. I hope you guys had an amazing summer and I deffo saw some of you at BabyBoyz because we throw the best parties duh!

I've been told I'm on my last warning with dropping episodes on time... This is a public service announcement. I promise to do better! Me and Korede get up to nothing but trouble and this episode sums it up. Summer is over and well as we recap on what our summer looked like, one thing was made evident. Stay away from tequila if you want peace in your life. Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Korede (@lifeofkors)

Back again for episode 88. It's a very chill road to 100 and it only gets better from here. I got Big S in the studio or Sam (even though she doesn't like that) and we chopped it up this week. Seems like Samara learnt a valuable lesson this summer and shared insight into her life and all that it contains. What's your best dish and don't tell me it's Sweet chilli Salmon bites or Mac & Cheese... Oh wait... so you're also in the same boat? You've got to listen to the episode to find out why this is so funny so go on, press play and enjoy! Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Samara (@samaraaabigail)

I hope you guys are happy now! We got some men in the building so you lot can get off my back now cause *allegedly* I've favoured one gender more than the other which is preposterous! I love all ya'll (women) equally... We got Alpha Tales in the house man *drink champs clap* and boy this episode was nothing but vibes. Turns out Kofi just likes telling every babes he loves them during sexy time and Jonny told us a story with many different endings. One where he and a close female friend could've been something and the other where a girl he pursued wanted Kofi. We call that the multiverse of the Alpha Tales. I'm not surprised she wanted Kofi. She's been hearing the rumours about his great skin which led Nick to ask the guys what their best trait is. Now without getting to cocky, let's just say the mandem believe in their abilities! Turns out Nick's lips and composure gets the ladies riled up but you can hear all of that when you listen. Just don't daydream as the guys talk their ish ladies. There's a whole lot more in here as you can tell by the 2hr + content we giving you guys! Maybe I gotta get more men in the building *pistol fingers* and if you didn't under the previous asterisk then this episode will make it make sense!

Our favourite Tech sis was in the building this week just to have a sit down and chat it up with me. Yes people actually like having conversations outside of their profession... kinda like the rush you get after 5 on a Friday for all you 9-5'vers out there. No one knows what it means but it's provocative!! Short one this week, you guys don't be missing me enough for the long hour content so we call this one tit for tat. Petty? Maybe? Joss kiddin Joss kiddin' I always got you guys man! You stay listening to me talk for an hour plus. FAN LUV! Join your host Joseph (Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Intricate (@its_intricate)

You can always tell when two Nigerians are in the room with each other... In this case that happens to be me & Heather. I was lucky enough to be joined in the studio by the amazing Heather herself and if you listen closely, that accent should tell you she be original naija babe. This one no be fake o so any nonsense we suppose skin you alive well well... Shey you understand? Sorry. Queen's English. I forget where I am sometimes but nevertheless, Heather reminded me how fun it can be chatting it up with your fellow countryman and we had a lot of fun talking about issues so dear to her heart. As you know, Heather is Gay and speaks openly about her sexuality and involvement in the LGBTQ community. Being a Nigerian you can tell that mix isn't befitting to the usual stereotype associated to sexuality when we talk about Nigerians and africans as a whole but Heather is an advocate in breaking down these barriers and opening the eye's of those who have formed their own misconceptions and stereotypes concerning those who identify as members of the LGBTQ community. Behind that fun, bubbly, funny personality, Heather makes it clear that all that glitters is not gold. Having being diagnosed with Schizophrenia, her life is a little different than the average adult and her mental health is something she is openly passionate about. She uses her social media platforms to raise awareness as well as to educate those who aren't very familiar with mental health disorders like hers and how she does not let such things define who she is. This episode should open the eyes of those who may be dealing with mental health issues in the dark as Heather brings to light the truth and realness whilst being fun and quirky with all that she goes through!

Introducing a new show on the Real Soulful Network! - #QUICKLY Here on Spotify video, catch Korede & Dami every two weeks as they discuss some of the latest trending topics off social media and quickly get into it with their guests for opinions and debates. This week on #QUICKLY - Burna boy now a fugitive. Shooting takes place at a club in which Burna Boy flees after making advances towards a woman in a relationship. Should he be showing more remorse for his actions and when do we separate the artist from their art. - Kids are growing up way too fast and perhaps have no sense of delayed gratification. Is every child missing the element of being a child or are they indulging in everything all at once?

Can you smell that? Smells like the start of summer but apparently it's a single one according to Ope. I feel like every summer there's a new rule in place and if it's not hot girl summer, then here we go, something new for you kids! We got into what exactly a single summer entails and the rules and regulations behind such an interesting theory. Over here on Real Soulful we like to make sure we stick to the rules... can't have you guys falling in love during the summer. That's outrageous. Get your pen and paper out cause there's a lot of theory for this course, good luck! your time starts now Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Ope (@rukkianike)

I think by now there are some voices you guys are very familiar with on this podcast so it's no surprise that this person makes a well deserved return to the greatest podcast in history. FAN LUV! Karen is back in the studio and while she's not having men pay for her petrol, she's busy renovating her new home and showing all of us who still live with our parents sha. "Material gworllll" or however you lot say it... I think I know way too many TikTok references and it has to stop. You know what else needs to stop? Moving to girls in the gym (allegedly) it's not in the top 5 places to speak to a woman and while I do agree it's probably not advisable, I think there are ways around it right? Wrong! Mandem it's a trap and I advise you to face your front more time unless you want to go viral. Besides that, these kids of today eh... We're getting older and the generation after us are catching up like crazy. Maybe a bit too fast for their own good. We talked about the use of social media and its advancement in regards to the development of children and maybe too much social media isn't good but this isn't a new discovery to be honest. Yes yes, you're wondering why there are so many episodes being released all at once. *Look Up* We got backed up with orders, took a page from Hermes so sorry about the late delivery. You'll find the other episodes scattered all over your front lawn so enjoy Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Karen (@karenasamoah_)

Ya'll hear those accents? we got some Americano's in the building alongside the usual suspects Faruk & Tim. The guys are back from the states and decided to jump on the podcast sharing their experiences overseas playing basketball and living life. Some guys out here getting verified and you know the saying... "with great power comes great responsibility" which means absolutely nothing to these guys so ignore that message. I tried to be deep LOOOL Just sit back and listen to a couple of childhood friends kick it back and reminisce on how basketball changed our lives for the better. High school musical but BLM Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Richard (@theycallmerichh_) , Tariq (@riqdagreat) , Eduardo (@andreswrld_) , Faruk (@youngog_f) , Timothy (@jukeking37)

AWAYY AWAYYY! Yeah I've got a new song in my playlist courtesy of the one and only Ruks! Don't worry guys, a Real Soulful playlist is on the way too cause this summer we gon' need some bangers man and I gotta give the streets what they want. I always take care of my listeners cause where would I be without ya'll? Anyways enough of that soft shit, Looks like it's a music invasion cause we've got another artist in the building this week. From Gospel to afro-well... Ruks doesn't really know which lane she's in right now so we just went with afro-ruks. Cool right? If you don't have a genre you create your own baby. We talked about her music journey and where her inspirations come from but I was way too focused on Ruks and her double agent life. Looks like behind the music, she's working for a secret organisation which she won't disclose. Booky settings I'll be real but you know how these artists are man... always got something going on. Whilst you figure out her secret, enjoy this week's episode with your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) and this week's guest: Ruks (@imruks_)

WELCOME TO THE TAPE! For all my music heads out there this segment is for you. Every two weeks here on Real Soulful, we'll have discussions on all things music! This week we decided to start with the GOAT that is Kendrick Lamar. He just dropped a new album and man it's worth the dissecting because this album is filled with so many themes you actually have to take a moment to sit down and take it all in. Mr Morale & The Big Steppers! It's been out for a week and we want to know where this ranks in your Kendrick discography? Did this album meet the long awaited expectation from one of music's greats or are we yet again unhappy with what this album has to offer?

I hope you guys have been enjoying the extra content from #Quickly... with my faves Korede & Dami but I'm back now!! Yeahhh back to the regular degular programming of RS so you guys can get of your knees and stop crying now! I would like to publicly apologise for my absence because UNI is now UNIVERSITY and the LLB is the mayor in this SITY. Yes I write my own raps. So whilst I'm finishing this degree, I still have to upload here because well... who's going to? So I've come back with a good friend of mine called Tomi AKA "When She Speaks" and boy when she spoke it was truly amazing. (ON BRAND) She's an Artist, Poet and overall lover of music so we got into it about where her influence comes from and her journey to redemption. You see where I'm going with this? Good. Her faith is very important and we get into her walk with God and ultimately how it shapes her music entirely. It's an introspective type of week so sit down, relax and enjoy this week's episode with your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) and this week's guest: Tomi/WhenSheSpeaks (@_whenshespeaks_) Watch her Live EP here! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHBSNJ_PPDc&t=157s

*BONUS CONTENT* Introducing a new show on the Real Soulful Network! - #QUICKLY Here on Spotify Video, catch Korede & Dami every two weeks as they discuss some of the latest trending topics off social media and quickly get to it with their guests for opinions and debates. This week on #QUICKLY - Are we too good for Ibis? Rapper Trillary Banks was recently scrutinised for staying in what is considered a "cheap hotel" as twitter decided to share their opinions on her choice of stay rather than the fact that she had been harassed by the hotel manager for overstaying past her checkout time. You can never win with Twitter can ya? You share your problems and people want to run jokes smh - The 9-5er is played out. Apparently women are still screaming they want flexibility in entrepreneurs over the 9-5 job. Please ladies, we've had enough! What do you guys want? Dami thinks you shouldn't have to change yourself for anyone so don't go and start a business because your wcw said she wants an entrepreneur o !

Hey... you hear that? No seriously, listen closely... can't you hear it? We just made the agreement and you guys missed it goddamn it! What's that TikTok sound i keep hearing again? "STAND UPPPP" cause we some big guests in the studio this week. A couple of besties decided to take the mic this week and we gathered a few things from this week's episode for sure. Firstly, Queenda making money now so shout out to her cause she gon' forget about us real soon. The corporate world got her by the collar and she loving each and every minute of it. Turns out we drink on Thursdays and not Fridays. Tomi thinks she can fight... silly I know but the hair pulling game is her bag so if your hair just got laid I suggest you stay clear of her. Drinking on Thursdays, fighting and the Rib story. I mentioned the Rib story because it seems like women be breaking up their friendships over meat... how ironic! That story didn't make the cut guys sorry but it taught me something very important. Competition is real within friendships and hence why we have the silent agreement... or don't we? I'm sure we can all attest that everyone knows their role within the friendship group or am I to assume that "all your friends are pretty" ladies? hahaha joss kidding! Enough talk, sign the damn papers maynnn! Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Tomi (@tomisarah_) , Queenda (@queenda_xvi)

They say introducing your potential partner to your friends is a bit like the hunger games... Ruthless! Personally, being told my potential partner isn't good looking or alluding to the idea that I could do better means we gotta fight here on the spot cause what on earth is going on here baby? Still hanging around when you got all thisss! I don't know if I'm built to take that or maybe my friends have my best interest at heart and just want me to be with someone they believe is a good fit. Either way we'll figure that out once the fight is over. Looks like Real Soulful got in the streets this week so shoutout to the guys on 4TS keeping the streets alive right now! The mandem joined me in the studio and boy did we have a laugh so go and sit down cause it's RS time!

You read the title right? That spell is a well known trick in the book for all my aspiring Magicians. However, with great power comes great responsibility so use it wisely and only after midnight! You're wondering what's with all the sorcery this week…? Turns out my me & the rest of the Pull Up boys are wizards. sorry Magicians (didn't mean to offend) Find out exactly what it means whilst you listen and pay close attention to the stories told about our childhood. From NB cutting his own hair and bleeding out to SPK's dad deciding to tear up his hoodies! I won't spoil it for you but man I think our parents need to sit at the red table and discuss their actions. Then again we might be joining them soon!

And the award for best slap goes to... wait I'm pretty sure that's not an award nomination at the Oscars but they better start including it cause boy did we not see it coming! Getting slapped is one thing but getting slapped on national television just hits different (no pun intended). I promise I write my own material ladies and gentlemen. Did Chris Rock deserve to get slapped? Should Will Smith have dealt with it backstage? Someone said Chris Rock's chin is still sizzling after the slap and I haven't stopped laughing. Hey, I know, what the hell in the TMZ is going on here with this week's episode but damn, you get to 76 episodes and you start reaching out your ass for content. But look deeper into this funny story that took social media by storm because there are some vital things to take away. So anytime I want to make something fun and educational, queue in SDTWS to save the day! The sisters joined me this week to talk about this drama and the many takes people had on WILL V CHRIS: Part 3 Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Ashley (@ashleyjpierre), Temi (@teeebanks_), Ayo (@ayo.jpeg) Follow their podcast (@sdwtspodcast) LISTEN HERE - https://open.spotify.com/show/6SUuiUpL7izgDu3qiTLDwy?si=58424e22b5f34ac7

You know when someone comes to your home and starts moving things around and just messes up the Feng-Shui ?? Like bro what are you doing!? Now I know why my teachers had seating arrangements back in school... Turns out they were right cause this episode started with Dami getting onto me for being a loyal member to 3 mobile network. Even when I'm loyal it's still a problem...Can't win out here. Insert DMX lyric >"what you b****es what from a nigga" cause I'm tired man. The girls tried to uncover who Gbenga spent his birthday with like a man can't just enjoy a nice meal on his own and head back to his hotel... If you're reading this it's not too late to send Gbengz a present and wish him a happy birthday! From birthdays to talking about love being a choice. Do you choose daily to love someone and how blurred are the lines when you do something wrong but still proclaim you love the person? All this love stuff on a Wednesday night I know it's heavy! Blame the seating change man and then blame my friends. Speaking of friends, Ladies help me out. Is having too many female friends a problem when dating a guy? Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Korede (@lifeofkors) , Dami (@_damilolaa) , Gbenga (@_gbengz)

Apparently I haven't travelled enough because I'm only discovering what the hell Limoncello is and how popular it is which makes a lot of sense because my guest is mr popular himself. He's being called daddy but has no children which is odd unless it's ... you know what never mind Not much to say on this one other than two Igbo men sat down in one room and well... chaos! Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Edson (@mrlimoncello)

There are singers, then there are SINGERS! Looks like we have a aSINGER in the building this week and boy are we blessed to have her. This week I sat down with Becca Folkes, a powerful worship leader and Gospel artist and she took us to church! So if you haven't heard the word this week then you're in for a treat because she really came to preach even though she said Pastoring isn't for her but we know the truth Becca *wink wink* We spoke about music and the art of worship. Beyond the Spotify playlists and fancy harmonies, what does it mean to truly worship? She made it known that worship is a lifestyle and is deeper than the theatrics we're usually accustomed to. Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Becca Folkes (@beccafolkes)

What's love without suffering? Crazy question to ask right I know but think about it... From the origin story of the word 'Iyawo' in Yoruba which means 'Wife', I am convinced yoruba women are made with extra spice and difficulty but we love you guys regardless. We went into the storybooks and spoke about a folklore in which a man seeks a wife but must suffer first before attaining her. This isn't the Disney story I know of but if you've watched enough Nollywood then this sounds about right. What do you make of a man having to be patient and "suffer" before marrying the woman he desires? Perhaps this story teaches something else, but you know with Unfiltered on the podcast it's nothing but crazy takes and interesting ideas so man you might hear some funny takes on marriage this week but please don't quote us abeg! Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Kola (@heyitskola) , David (@daviddd.a) , Geo (@geeaiye)

Man in this life all i want to do is Chop Life!! Soft life and Chop life seem like good mottos to me don't you think? The mandem came down to the studio to talk about the come up and more importantly, before the come up. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kwamz & Jordz who both run CHOP LIF£ Clothing and they shared with me the highs and lows of running a business. The streetwear style is a staple in UK fashion and you have to separate yourself from the rest to truly stand out. Just take a look at the guys over at Corteiz and what they did a couple weeks ago. Before you hit play though, make sure you grab something from the CL clothing store and tell em I sent ya! Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Kwamz (@_kingkwamz), Jordz (@jordzino_) CL clothing store link: https://choplifeclothing.com/password

I'll be so real, I actually think I could've been a comedian myself but I'll leave the real craft to those who do i best. This week I sat down with upcoming and outstanding comedian Kyrah. The jokes just wrote themselves this week (we don't be using ghostwriters) and she got a message for baby daddies in particular. We spoke about the comedic scene and the general trend of the standup game so far. Has comedy changed over the years? Are we getting a lot more sensitive as time goes on or is the craft still respected and delivered in the same capacity as it was back in the day? Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Kyrah (@itskyrahgray)

My real listeners will notice the upload date of this episode and be very confused... please exams are kicking my ass and I'm sorry this episode dropped extremely late but you know this is a one man band so I gotta put me first! Seems like they want Men dead at this rate. First we can't go on the 360 booths and now we can't have a podcast. You hate us and that's okay. I think all the Men in the UK need to find love elsewhere cause you women won't let us rest. The girls talked about the podcast space and essentially the whole conversation implies I'm out of a job. I'll be selling pure water on the high street this week so if you see me abeg just dey look front! Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests Sydney (sydneyjulianx_) , Sol (@soltheartist)

At times I feel like there aren't enough of us Igbo people in London then I'm reminded just how untrue that is and how easy it is to bump into your friendly neighbourhood Igbo brother or sister! This week Chisom or better known as Regina joined me in the studio and we got to talking about her funny accent. Don't know if you can hear it but the babe has got a little twang and turns out she grew up in Ireland for a bit before finally deciding to move to where the party's at. We spoke about her upbringing and her parents and their decision to relocate. If you didn't know, Regina's pops is classified Odogwu! Turns out the OG is a Lawyer and owns oil... Sounds like £££ to me but someone said it init just not me (mandem attack now!) We got into her career choice and being an engineering babe... sorry ... I meant Software engineering babe. There's a difference you uncultured swines. Oh yeah. You see my drip this episode? Yeah you'll wanna watch the visuals too cause I got on that PosterBoys merch and I look fresh! Make sure you cop yours and tell em Real Soulful sent ya! Join your host Joseph 9@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Regina (@regina.oj) Go get that new PosterBoys merch this minute. The new collection 'Kings Die' is available! https://www.posterboysbycdn.com/

At this point I can't tell if it's love or hate between me and these guys but all I know is that there's hella tension... some might say sexual but hey we're just friends so you stop that! Don't know why you'd think such a thing smh get a grip listeners man. Seems like I'm getting old because I like to reminisce on the good ole' days when Teniola use to crush on me back in Sixth-form but apparently that didn't happen... Pretty sure it did but she won't admit it and I'm at peace with it. The girls joined me in the studio to catch up and we decided to find out why Sameera has now become an explorer. She's into a lot of things this new year which include fancy parties with a no dress code. In fact these parties have no code full stop but I won't speak more on it. Just know if you wanna get freaky then Sam's your guy! You happy with meeting your partner on a dating app? The girls share some of their stories of previous dates they've been on using dating apps and I must say I commend these Men for their bravery! It's tough out here man, let a nigga breathe a little. Just don't use all your air cause you should be saving some to work hard with! We all have the same 24hrs you know. We got into the recent controversy surrounding influencer Molly Mae and her comments about success and what it takes to be successful. Right now you've spent way too much time reading this description when you could've been working. See how you waste your 24hrs! Whilst I'm here working, you're reading like a dickhead! If you still have some hours left, join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Teniola (@_tenii) , Sameera (@sameerazs)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come! I'm sure you know the rest or where you sleeping in Sunday School? Happy New Year Real Soulful listeners! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New years all wrapped up into one. How did you guys celebrate your new years? I hope my listeners spent their last day of the year at the Church... It's only right you gather those blessings after the year we've had or were you on the dance floor? WHAT ABOUT THE NAILS ON THE CROSS! Nah we don't judge over here at Real Soulful. Remember "For the people, By the people" and speaking of people, I had three lovely ladies join me to kickstart the new year. It's always nice having guests who are the best of friends as you can tell by their matching fits which they boldly claim was intentional. We spoke about Faith and the views, stereotypes and often misconceptions people have about young christian guys and more specifically girls. Apparently the mandem want to have fun with the baddies before wifing the good christian girl to bring home to mummy. I'd strongly recommend the Choir leader but Ushers are nice too!

Apparently you should know the voices when you hear them according to our favourite influenzaa Korede so I think this description is pointless this week then... She always ruins my fun so I think you guys should let her ave itttt (@lifeofkors for those asking). You can start by telling her how to properly mix drinks because it seems I'm childish for wanting my mix to taste like juice. You can't win with women can you! Speaking of childish, Just how childish is it to want to have a Doula after pregnancy? Should you as a mother hold all responsibility in taking care of your child or can you delegate such responsibilities to someone else without it coming across as lazy or privileged? Marriage can be a scary thing sometimes, more importantly divorce and what constitutes as a good ground for divorce. You just can't be divorcing your spouse because they aren't attractive anymore... or can you? It's always fun having these guys in the studio so enjoy this week's episode with your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) and guests: Korede (@lifeofkors) , Dami (@_damilolaa) , Gbenga (@_gbengz)

Another week, another podcast collab! This week 3 lovely ladies by the name of Quayster, Jiji & Mena from Back To The Matter Podcast joined me in the studio. Ghana stand up cause they really came and represented well well... I guess my love for Ghanians is slowly improving so you have BTTM to thank for that. (Nigerian Jollof is still better so don't get excited) We spoke about conflict this week. I know you women love to start a good ole fight... sorry that's just me throwing jabs (Get it?). How do you argue? When conflict is taking place, how do you deal with it? Ladies are you resulting to calling him a broke boy all of a sudden or mandem are you now being nonchalant about everything even though what she did clearly upset you?

Ugochi & Edson decided to come down and you can really tell they're related apart from some minor differences like Edson snitching on his sister in the family group chat... That's some 6ix9 behaviour we don't condone over here on REAL SOULFUL! (Not affiliated) I guess all that snitching worked out because it created a viral TikTok trend we're all familiar with so i guess this snitch life be paying off! In that case, turn my mic up cause I been watching some of you and boy I need that payout asap! Speaking of Asap, Women you need to let me know something. Are you guys running out of time? Apparently the 'body clock' got you ladies crying on TikTok because you ain't got a man... How urgently do you need to have things together? Someone asked it init not me... Don't worry, niggas be having a hard time too man. Just listen to a few examples in this week's episode. Some Men are battling being nearly stood up on dates whilst other Men have women not knowing when to put the plate down on dates.. It's tough I told you!

Another week, another crazy episode! I'm not sure if you can tell but the guys are back in the studio and if you know the guys you know you're due to hear something outrageous and downright controversial but that's nothing to the Baby Boys. The guys wanted to bring their group chat discussion to the podcast by addressing a recent video that surfaced online of an aunty and a child fighting in a chicken & chip shop. You know how these aunties & uncles be sometimes... just in everyone's business but are the younger generation lacking respect for the older generation or should these old heads just mind their business and be on their way. From hitting kids in a chicken and chip shop to eating ass. Yes you read correctly. Some of the mandem have graduated with a first class in all things kinky. The guys share their best sexual experiences and what exactly can run in the bedroom. I'm tired of typing now, enjoy all the other stuff in between but i know you filthy ass listeners just want to get to the ass eating part YA NASTY! (Skip to 38.34) but I didn't say that init.. someone did Join you host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Faruk (@youngog_f) , Timothy (@jukeking37) , Ibrahim (@thvtguy_t) , Toheeb (@fablt6)
