BUT, Mind You...

Society EN ↓ 5 episodes

Two best friends — Donnie Love & Rian-Louis — sit down to unpack life, culture, growth, heartbreak, healing, and the chaos of being alive. The show blends unfiltered honesty with emotional nuance, where nothing is off the table except the things we keep meaning to bring up but avoid… until now. The heart of the show is the balance between humor + introspection. But, Mind You… becomes the phrase that interrupts the story, flips the perspective, exposes the truth, or brings the gag.
