In this episode, the girls kick things off with the big news: the Two Cents Live Show is officially happening in Hamburg on 13 December 2025—Christmas vibes, Glühwein, snacks, banter, and maybe even a ticket giveaway.

Then Rufaro dives into the TikTok drama that’s taken over her week: a harmless story about explaining where Zimbabwe is turned into a full-on South African comment-section war. We unpack the misunderstanding, the accent debate, why some people think all Africans know each other’s politics, and the chaotic insults flying in multiple languages.

The conversation shifts into diaspora identity, end-of-year burnout, Christmas markets in Germany, American consumerism, and why German gifts are always so practical. We wrap up with the viral Vogue topic: is having a boyfriend now embarrassing?—and share our honest take on dating culture in 2025.

A funny, fast-paced episode filled with cultural hot takes, online madness, and December energy.
