In this episode, Saloni and Rahul dive into the ever-debated question: should men and women split expenses equally in a hetrosexual relationship? What starts as a playful exchange about “women paying in blood” quickly spirals into a sharp, honest conversation about gender, equity, and the hidden costs of being a woman.
Saloni argues that true equality can’t exist in a world built for men; from unpaid maternity leave and hormonal health to beauty expectations, safety, and the pink tax. Rahul challenges and clarifies, unpacking how equality and fairness often get confused in modern relationships. Together, they explore why a 50/50 split may sound fair on paper, but often isn’t - and what a more equitable approach could look like instead.
Raw, funny, and unfiltered as ever, this episode questions whether feminism means splitting bills or rethinking what “fair” really looks like when the playing field has never been level.
When you find out a friend’s partner is hiding something big, do you tell them? In this episode, we get real about loyalty, trust, and the tricky line between protecting someone and minding your own business. We dig into gender double standards, personal values, and moral boundaries, and how much they shift depending on how close the friendship really is. Do you risk the friendship to share the truth? Or keep the peace and stay silent? Join us as we unpack why it’s never simple and how our own values and friendships shape these impossible choices.

Who actually benefits when women shift households and men celebrate “freedom”?

Join us as we talk about hot takes on topical issues that might sound extreme - or is it just you...
Should women have to change their identities once they're married? Are her partners' parents, also her parents?
What do you think?
As a brown couple dealing with generations of family trauma and cultural expectations, we've talked about this multiple times off camera, and decided it was time to record it so we could share our opinions on this with you.
We know it sounds extreme, but someday we'll loop in our parents as well for this chat - until then, hopefully we are enough.
