Should've Gone to Therapy

We’re back, and so is Nana, with a very big life update. In Episode 18, the boys catch up after the break and dive into Nana’s new chapter: fatherhood. From sleepless nights to what’s changed most, we get into how he’s adjusting and what the early days of being a dad really feel like. Naturally, Cookie gets pulled into the deep end too with some honest thoughts on his own future and whether kids a...

With Nana away again, Cookie takes the pod outside for something a little different. Joined by first time guests Ace and George, plus returning menace Nigel, the boys hit London Fields for an outdoor calisthenics workout, a press-ups challenge, and some much needed sun. Between reps and banter, there’s chat about gym motivation, training with your boys, and what makes movement feel good for the mi...

Nana’s out, Nige’s in, and things get chaotic quick. Episode 16 kicks off with the big questions: Was Winston Churchill Jamaican? Would you rather be funny or smart? And if you were 18 again…are you picking uni, or saving yourself the debt? Then, the boys stumble into something deeper: are you coasting through life without realising? And how do you even know when it’s happening? Nigel opens up abo...

The boys are back! And this time, fresh from the gym. Episode 15 kicks off with a recap of a sweaty little challenge session with the mandem, and a debate on whether working out with friends actually helps… or if it’s just loud reps and no peace. Things take a more reflective turn as Cookie shares his thoughts on the recent Air India crash, and how moments like that hit different when you work in...

Nigel’s in the building! The boys welcome their first ever guest and potential co-host, as Cookie and Nana put him through a very professional two minute interview. Cookie recounts a traumatic journey home lugging 40kg of podcast gear through central London in 26 degree heat. The lesson? It’s time to get a car. That opens the floodgates to a chat about driver’s licenses, shame on the tube, and a h...

The boys are back—with a new set, new chairs, and the same life overload. Cookie and Nana settle into their central London spot and reflect on what it means to feel like real podcasters (whatever that means). They chat about the growing pains of juggling too many projects, learning to manage time when everything feels urgent, and finding systems that might keep them sane. Plus, a chat on telling y...

Cookie and Nana return for another open and honest conversation — this week, tackling the struggle of staying focused while working from home. Nana opens up about his battle with distractions (especially YouTube), and the boys unpack what it really means to be productive. Is it a lack of focus, or just a harsh self-assessment? And what happens when learning becomes an excuse not to take action? Th...
