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?

We had @Dee__Rozay and @ChickStar1 on the sofa to get into another football related episode! ⚽ We have honest conversations about our club.

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.
