Generally, once, the term "BroCode" is used, we almost always think of the negative meanwhile "BroCode" is all about you looking out for your friend, brother, or someone close to you.

It is Valentine's week and some of us are not smiling at all. No love to give, no love to collect but we move. We talk about how we are celebrating Valentine's day, the expectations of our babes, and how some of us that have multiple babes are going to handle this week but it is well.

The mood in this video starts off high and remains the same until the very end. We discuss our journey as friends, before moving to the conversation of the day which is going to the GYM.

It has all been in the air since the fall of 2020, tech companies have been laying off staff en mass. Not just big tech but startups also, at this point we believe that it has become contagious like the flu(everyone is doing it because the other person did it). But the truth is, there are logical and business reasons behind these layoffs, one is to meet the current reality of the market which was...

This episode was a long one coming. We've been friends with Johnny for a while but we all never spoke in-depth about his journey except for Cally who had been there from day 1. Johnny narrates how he came to Canada, went through school, converted to Islam, and married his ever-loving wife. We hope you enjoy this episode as we did while recording. Cheers!!

Giving advice to a friend in the world we live in today has to be one of the hardest jobs to do partly because we have all become soft and do not want to hurt anyone's feelings. The issue with this is that we are caught between, you either give your advice and hurt their feelings or keep your advice to yourself and you continue to hurt or watch your friend stray. The way you go about the advice ha...

This episode is a big one as the boys discussed how their remote work lifestyle has been and if they miss working physically at the office.

If you are not Nigerian, the  term "I JUST GOT BACK"  will definetly be foreign to you and that is why we have the podcast to explain what it is. The "I JUST GOT BACK" concept, popoularly known as "IJGB" is used to describe Nigerians or a Nigerian that has just returned to the country from abroad or from a place outside of Nigeria. The peak period when you have a mass return is usully in...

There are several reason people leave relationships. Some are trivial while some are extreme. While we agree that relationship has to be built on tolerance, there are some lines which when crossed would change the entire dynamics of a relationship. In this episode, we discuss ours.

Trust me in this episode, there are a lot of laughs. We hope you e...

We have often heard the claim that we need to sleep less to be successful. Some people even go as far as depriving themselves of sleep  when they should do is the exact opposite, sleep more so that you can get more done. In this episode, we establish that it is what you do when you are awake that matters the most. Making the most with your awake time is important. Sleep is very important beca...

With no doubt, schools are no longer delivering the aim they were created for. Schools were created to harness the God given abilities and talents of whom ever was enrolled but in recent times, it has evolved to be more of a business ploy than a service to community. In this episode, we agree that going to School and getting educated are not the same thing. Some of us have infact settled on the fa...

Due to our uniqueness as humans, the way we react to things differ. Our introduction to different things erupts different reactions. This episode of heartsnspades rather looks at the future ahead rather than the current situation because that is what we are about. How do we get better but then we cannot get better without acknowledging the present. In episode 13, we talk about porn, the first time...
