In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign are joined by special guest Queen Sovereign for a direct and unfiltered conversation about the fragile male ego and the ways it shapes men’s behavior, relationships, and reactions to women’s autonomy.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign break down a chaotic news cycle, including Nicki Minaj’s public MAGA pivot and comments involving J.D. Vance, a disturbing case involving boys sharing AI generated nude images of a 13 year old girl with no consequences, and the internet’s response to both Jake Paul and Andrew Tate taking public losses. Later, in another round of "This You?", the hosts unpack a Reddit post about a husband who gave away his wife’s expensive sake without asking, and what it reveals about male entitlement and disregard for women’s boundaries.   🎧 This episode takes a clear eyed look at male ego, power, and validation, and how women are expected to manage the emotional fallout.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The fragile male ego and emotional insecurity Male entitlement and boundary violations How patriarchy operates through fear and control Loneliness and validation seeking in men Decentering men and reclaiming women’s autonomy Setting boundaries with emotionally immature men   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned:Nicki Minaj praises JD Vance as “assassin” as Erika Kirk sits next to herhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nicki-minaj-praises-jd-vance-assassin-erika-kirk-sits-rcna250476 How Nicki Minaj went from Trump critic to the president’s biggest fanhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/12/22/entertainment/nicki-minaj-donald-trump-fan Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty sentenced for failing to register as sex offender in Los Angeleshttps://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/nicki-minajs-husband-kenneth-petty-sentencing-sex-offender-registration-los-angeles/ Boys at her school shared AI generated nude images of her.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign take on one of the most persistent myths men love to repeat: that they are simple, low maintenance, and easy to please, and that women are the ones who make life complicated. Together, they unpack how this narrative functions as a form of gaslighting that shifts responsibility, emotional labor, and accountability onto women.But first, in Tea Time, they discuss the tragic passing connected to Rob and Michele Reiner and what it reveals about male mental health, a new UK curriculum aimed at teaching boys to respect women, a viral TikTok of a man spiraling over his wife doing his laundry “wrong,” and a disturbing story of a man abandoning his girlfriend during a mugging. In the Mailbag, they answer a listener question about navigating relationships with misogynistic family members you still love.   🎧 This episode breaks down the illusion of male simplicity, how “low maintenance” often masks emotional immaturity, and why women are expected to absorb the fallout.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The myth of men being low maintenance and emotionally simple How emotional labor and household management fall on women Male emotional regulation and its impact on relationships The fear of male aggression and how it shapes women’s behavior Why women are increasingly rethinking marriage and partnership Loving sexist or emotionally immature men and setting boundaries   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned:Rob and Michele Reiner’s son ‘responsible’ for their deaths, police sayhttps://www.cnn.com/entertainment/live-news/homicide-detectives-investigating-at-address-connected-with-hollywood-director-rob-reiner Boys to be taught to respect women and girls as part of curriculumhttps://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/boys-taught-respect-women-girls-curriculum-xbzfq98xm Survey: Almost half of American men have online betting accountshttps://www.sbu.edu/athletics/2025/02/18/survey-almost-half-of-american-men-have-online-betting-accounts Study finds the majority of OnlyFans subscribers are married menhttps://www.audacy.com/987thespot/latest/study-finds-majority-of-onlyfans-subscribers-are-married-men The orgasm gap and why women climax less than menhttps://theconversation.com/the-orgasm-gap-and-why-women-climax-less-than-men-208614 Universe 25 Experiment (Rat Utopia)https://www.the-scientist.com/universe-25-experiment-69941 Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendallhttps://a.co/d/7lGx3Ot   📚 This Week’s Recommendation:All Her Fault on Peacockhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt31314751/?ref_=fn_t_1 Check Out Lisa’s Free Blog About This Episodehttps://www.patreon.com/collection/960341   💌 Join the Conversation:Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign explore what it looks like for women to decenter men in everyday life and relationships. Decentering men is not a single action but a result of prioritizing women's autonomy and needs while deconstructing patriarchal norms.

But first, in Tea Time, they respond to a listener voicemail about women taking their husbands’ last names, discuss the US Border Patrol monitoring drivers and detaining pregnant women seeking reproductive health care, female MAGA influencers facing backlash for feminist stances, and a woman proposing to her boyfriend of 14 years.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign  sit down with special guest Therese Lee to unpack her new series, Witches, Whores, and Rebels, which explores how history repeats itself whenever powerful systems begin to break down.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome special guest Amarachi, a viral “villain era” dating coach who’s redefining what it means for women to date on their own terms. Together, they unpack how embracing your so-called “villain era” isn’t about being heartless — it’s about rejecting people-pleasing, prioritizing your happiness, and refusing to apologize for your standards. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts break down the Democrats caving to Trump on the government shutdown, Trump getting booed mercilessly at an NFL game, a woman’s viral experiment calling churches to see if they’d feed a starving baby, and a New York Times opinion piece asking if women “ruined” the workplace.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the cultural shift around the term “girl’s girl”.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the viral TikTok “EBT Lady” on SNAP benefits expiring, the backlash to Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Lover Girl,” and Jameela Jamil’s viral claim that studios are “dumbing down” TV shows for distracted scrollers.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the new “full bush” underwear from Skims, Mackenzie Scott’s major donation to Black cultural preservation, the viral $5.5K “alpha male” bootcamp that’s more parody than power, and Mike Vrabel’s viral feminist gesture during NFL press conferences.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the “Cool Girl” archetype; the effortless, chill, low-maintenance woman who always puts men’s comfort first. They explore how this myth was built to serve patriarchy, how it pressures women to suppress their emotions and identity, and why rejecting it is a radical act of self-love. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss Ayesha Curry’s viral comments about not wanting marriage or kids, the Texas State Fair backlash over price gouging, and a man who went viral for buying a life-size Henry Cavill doll. Later, in Tea or Trash, they debate the ethics of cosmetic surgery and authenticity in the age of performative empowerment.   🎧 This episode dives into the Cool Girl archetype — how patriarchy rewards female self-erasure, how women perform to earn male approval, and why true empowerment begins with authenticity.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The origins and cultural impact of the Cool Girl archetype How patriarchy teaches women to perform for the male gaze Ayesha Curry and public discourse on marriage, motherhood, and autonomy Authenticity vs. the “low-maintenance” performance Why women’s self-worth must exist beyond male validation The intersection of feminism, beauty culture, and self-acceptance   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned:Ayesha Curry Says She Didn’t Want To Get Married Or Have Kidshttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/stephen-curry-supports-ayesha-amid-145811878.html Viral Social Media Posts Spark Debate Over State Fair of Texas Attendance and Costshttps://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/state-fair/viral-posts-spark-debate-over-state-fair-of-texas-attendance-costs/287-4994d76c-ddb1-45af-9f93-61ebab6ec5e0 Man Buys Anatomically Correct Henry Cavill Dollhttps://www.queerty.com/man-buys-a-life-size-silicone-anatomically-correct-henry-cavill-doll-immediately-goes-viral-20251008/   📚 This Week’s Recommendation:When Did You Realize That Being the “Cool Girlfriend” Was a Load of Sh*t?https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/127umam/when_did_you_realize_that_being_the_cool/?share_id=y5PhlxBUsXiMss2yaLSNy&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1   💌 Join the Conversation:Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome back special guest The Public Offender to unpack what it really means to perform masculinity, and how this performance shapes men’s behavior, women’s safety, and the structure of society itself. Together, they explore how cultural scripts of “manhood” are reinforced by patriarchy, peer pressure, and media, and how redefining masculinity could free everyone from toxic expectations. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts cover Trump’s attempt at a military takeover of Portland, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce, Janae’s viral diss track aimed at Nicki Minaj, a listener comment asking whether decentering men actually centers them, and a Tea VIP voicemail seeking advice about her son’s father. Later, in the Mailbag segment, they tackle a listener question about handling a brother-in-law’s inappropriate text messages.   🎧 This episode pulls back the curtain on the performance of masculinity — how men perform toughness for other men, the social cost of emotional repression, and how redefining manhood benefits everyone.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The cultural performance of masculinity and its social consequences Male identity, emotional repression, and societal expectations Patriarchy’s influence on relationships and gender dynamics How peer groups reinforce toxic masculine norms Feminism, empathy, and the path to redefining manhood Navigating harassment, boundaries, and accountability   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned:Trump Slams Federal Judge, Whom He Appointed, for Blocking National Guard Deployment in Portlandhttps://tinyurl.com/mvw3p7vh Keith Urban’s ‘Cocaine Clause’ Set to Land Him Millions as Nicole Kidman Files for Divorcehttps://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/keith-urban-cocaine-clause-prenup-nicole-kidman-divorce-b1250581.html Janae Releases Nicki Minaj Diss Trackhttps://www.tiktok.com/@janae.alea/video/7557571706492161310   📚 This Week’s Recommendation:The Performance of Masculinity: Beyond Postures and Gestureshttps://davidnjohnson.com/men/the-performance-of-masculinity-beyond-postures-and-gestures/ Follow The Public Offenderhttps://linktr.ee/publicoffender   💌 Join the Conversation:Got questions or wild stories to share?

What happens when a society has more men than women who want to partner with them? In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the concept of “surplus men” — those left out of relationships, social life, and purpose.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen expose the dark underbelly of the “Passport Bros” movement, where Western men travel abroad seeking relationships with women in countries that often have less gender equality and opportunity. From exploitation disguised as romance to the illusions of “traditional” femininity, the hosts unpack how patriarchy and colonial fantasies intersect in this disturbing trend. But first, in Tea Time, they celebrate Gwen turning 30, react to a Seaworld mime trolling husbands who won’t carry their wives’ bags, and debate a viral claim that women fought to go 50-50 in relationships. In Feminist Herstory, they spotlight Giulia Tofana, one of history’s most infamous poisoners, and what her story reveals about women’s fight for autonomy in oppressive systems.   🎧 This episode calls out how men flee accountability at home only to recreate cycles of exploitation abroad — and why feminism’s fight against gender inequality is global.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: Why “Passport Bros” exploit global power imbalances The link between sex tourism and gender inequality How men project insecurities and seek control in relationships Why financial independence is crucial for women everywhere Feminist Herstory: Giulia Tofana and resistance against patriarchy   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned:Mime At Seaworld Keeps Shaming Husbands To Carry Their Baby’s and Backpacks Instead Of Their Wiveshttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DNX9pHpgiGD/ Deadly trend of ‘Passport Bros’ lured by honeytraps and murdered for cashhttps://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30671055/deadly-passport-bros-traps-murdered-cash-drug-kill-men/ Đổi Mớihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Đổi_Mới ‘The White Lotus’ Is Reigniting The Conversation Around ‘Passport Bros’https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a64387699/what-is-a-passport-bro/ Mail Order Brideshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail-order_bride Cyntoia Brown Released After 15 Years In Prison For Murderhttps://www.npr.org/2019/08/07/749025458/cyntoia-brown-released-after-15-years-in-prison-for-murder Giulia Tofanahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giulia_Tofana   📚 This Week’s Recommendation:Dr. Potter - Stand with a Surgeon Facing Retaliationhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-a-surgeon-facing-retaliation The Passport Bros Subreddithttps://www.reddit.com/r/thepassportbros/   💌 Join the Conversation:Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen  ask the question, "Is motherhood a choice, or is it a trap we're all expected to fall into?" For generations, society has pushed a narrative about women’s ultimate purpose. But what if that narrative isn’t just outdated, but actively harmful? This episode unpacks the uncomfortable truth about the “choice” to be a mother. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss a new Chinese pregnancy robot expected to give birth by next year, how Medicaid cuts will impact the elderly, and Trump’s military takeover of Washington D.C.
