So we have a new new co-host, @lemon_drizzle365

This episode was a sticky one still – well for ⅔ of the sofa anyways A little bit ago a video went around on social media showing the calibre of UK men out there, and some women felt the men shown were an Urban Legend and it's really the ghetto for them out here  So we had to break this down and get to the bottom of it!We talk about commitment issues, dating in your tax bracket, where the comparison came from, tips for UK man to ‘bridge the gap', man dem gold diggers, and whether we should be making the comparison in the first place. Also peeps let us know in the comments – do you think UK Man need to be doing better in this dating game, or is there nothing to see here?IG: @TheRealistDebatesPodcastTwitter: @RealistDebatesYT: www.youtube.com/TheRealistDebatesPodcast

The world is going to shit again guys. Our news screens were taken up by COVID not long ago – but has now been replaced with what could be a larger scale war than is already happening

This is a special episode for a couple reasons. It's our one year anniversary so it made sense to have our inaugural guest @Donae'o back again. But we were also joined by our NEW female co-host @Mak.Keda ‍We talk about how to get into the Metaverse, footballers moving wild (Mason Greenwood & Kurt Zouma we see you

@WithLoveRam our honorary guest came through again to talk about what's been happening in the world lately. We talk about sports news having nothing to do with sports these days (Peng Shuai missing, Eric Abidal's soap opera, and Quincy Promes' attempted murder charge).

We had @Dee__Rozay and @ChickStar1 on the sofa to get into another football related episode! ⚽We have honest conversations about our club. Like if Ole is still at the wheel, if we believe in Arteta's process, and where our respective clubs may finish. We also talk about Newcastle being Moneybags FC, managerial sackings (one of which happened mid-session), and Josh Cavallo – an active footballer who shared he was gay. Also peeps let us know – who is finishing higher this season, Arsenal or Man Utd?IG: @TheRealistDebatesPodcastTwitter: @RealistDebatesYT: www.youtube.com/TheRealistDebatesPodcast

We caught up with our girl Tat to talk about ‘obesity' and ‘unhealthy' diets. We quantify what that looks like to each of us, if there's an over acceptance in society of people being overweight, people's relationships with exercise and food, and whether we should have plus size models.

Allegations that came out earlier this month turned our two-part series looking at how men treat women in today's society into a trilogy! We talk about our initial reaction, Adam Deacon and the dangers of ‘listening but not hearing', and also talk on others like Noel who have been accused/convicted. Also peeps tell us in the comments – do you think we forgive and forget too much, or is the ‘cancel culture' in overdrive?

We couldn't leave you guys hanging any longer! Our hosts for the episode @The_BIPOC_Bookcase & @TheFace_In_The_Crowd continue the conversation where we talk about men; but more specifically their attitude and treatment towards women. In the second half we talk about the female body such as periods and body hair, consent, and what being a male ally should look like. Also peeps tell us – do you think men should call in or call out acts of misogynism? 

The next two episodes are going to look a little different! Hosting duties were passed over to @The_BIPOC_Bookcase & @TheFace_In_The_Crowd where we talk about men; but more specifically their attitude and treatment towards women. We covered a lot so had to break this into two! In this half we talk about our interactions with women from young, what we were taught by those close to us, and women in the workplace. With part two covering off plenty more next week

We caught up with our boy @Donaeo again talking about social media. We went through what technology looked like growing up for us and how we interacted with it, the positives/negatives of social media today, and also whether social media companies are doing enough to protect us from online hate!Also tell us in the comments below – what's your thoughts on social media, good or bad?DISCLAIMER: We actually recorded this some time ago – but the fact it's still prevalent speaks volumes!

We caught up and got personal on what it takes to adapt; because we know a lot of Young Kings and Queens out there need to hear this!
