101. Are aliens the new WMDs?

Is this... the end? We catch up on what's been going on for the past 2 weeks (1:00) and Dami tells us about 'life changes' she's going through. 

They discuss the new reality show 'At home with the Fury's' and talk about what its like having a partner with mental health issues (7:50). 

Dami asks Damini if he could be friends with someone exactly like him (14:50) and making friends as an adult (18:00). 

Dilemma time: If you gave your partner money and told them not to pay you back, are you allowed to take that money (forcefully) in the future if they did something you didn't like? (20:40). Which prompted Damini to tell us why he could never borrow money from his girlfriend (31:10).

They speak about icky things happening in the world of Spanish football (46:20). 

Finally they make the big announcement ..... (49:20)

“2019 was my nose dive year, 2020 I was six feet under”. We unpack mental health, her battle with depression  and what rehab was like. It required a lot of bravery but in her words “I met people in rehab that changed me at my core” (39:40)

Damini has a 16 year old brother. Dami has a 17 year old sister. They’re both around so obviously they were invited on the podcast to spill the tea on how they really feel about their older siblings 😂

We asked them what their favourite/ worst thing about being the youngest is (6:00)

Then we asked what their impressions of us were (spoiler alert, one of them used to be scared of us 😩) (20:00)

We also wanted to know how we could be better older siblings to them (33:00) and things about them that they think we just wouldn’t understand as 20-something year olds(42:00) prompting a larger conversation about mental health.

Spoiler alert, one of their biggest fears in life is not being successful (52:17)

Finally we ask them what they’re most excited to  do when they get to our age (1:12:13)

Overall it’s a wholesome episode and we suggest you try it out with a sibling. Happy listening!

Straight off press is our inspo for the week. We discuss boundaries, compromise and communication in our relationships. Maybe we just need to talk and listen a it more. It's complicated though, and an ever evolving cycle of learning. 

Happy listening and see you next week!

Then we discuss if situationships ending hurt more than when relationships end (3:00). We also talk about women's tendency to do free labour without looking for compensation (23:00). We speak about a new finding in the world of aliens (again) (33:00) and the Supreme court ruling about creative businesses being allowed to refuse certain services based on their beliefs (44:00)

This is a super short episode; an existential stream of our consciousness. We might as well have had our mics off. We didn't plan to record an episode this week to figure out few things bts, however Dami and Damini love a chat about abstract conversations with no consequence so here we go! I guess in this case a lot of consequence to be fair. Why are we here?
