The Yellow Pill Podcast

If you believe in a “higher power”, what do you think about others who don’t? If you don’t believe in any “higher power”, what do you think about those who do? It’s not very common that people of different beliefs sit down together to discuss and debate their thoughts with the intention to learn and understand. This is what we tried to do in this episode with Sydney. We sat down on our armchairs w...

To kick off our sixth season, we tackled the concept of involuntary celibacy, and why this state of mind is perceived as a social reality by certain groups of men. The world as we know it does not have one understanding of masculinity. While researching for this episode, we were fascinated to learn that there’s a community of men out there who have bonded over the perception that they are unable t...

We have all heard people say we all have a purpose to fulfil on earth and that we have to find it at all costs.  When we think of those who have found their "purpose", the immediate thoughts can often be of those who have gone on to do extraordinary things in various fields. One may then naturally assume that everyone's purpose and ambition should be magnanimous, or should be achievements that lay...

“Sometimes I wonder if there’s such a thing as too much awareness of social causes and injustices. Some awareness is better than none. But constant awareness turns into moral masturbation at some point” - Mark Manson, (13/05/21 via Twitter) This tweet was one of those tweets you run into that spark deep contemplation. In the last couple of years, we can say that we have been exposed to and made aw...

If you have seen any love-reality show out there, you have probably heard a contestant say “I love someone with a good personality”. To be honest, almost everyone says that. We know personality matters in everything.  It helps you strike business deals, it helps you get ahead in job interviews, it helps you in romance, it can even make the difference in life or death scenarios. So it might be fair...

Last season, we spoke about the realities of life after birth for new mothers. It was so good we knew we had to do it twice! But this time, it had to be from the perspectives of new dads! Because we both hope to be dads someday (later later), this episode led to moments where we took a lot of mental notes, where we laughed, and where we asked some scary controversial questions. We sat on our armch...

“When I was a teenager, I tried to chemically alter the natural state of my hair. I know why I did it. I was conforming to what seemed cool, classy, and maybe more ‘attractive’.  Now, I feel lucky that I didn’t have to let the chemicals rule over me into my adult years. But my hair story is not unique. It’s one of many kinds” - Wolé In this episode, we spent 90 mins with Portia and Yemi talking ab...

The one about life after losing a loved one. Grief  /gri:f/ : An intense sorrow, especially caused by someone’s death.  Research suggests that we have a 100% chance of dying.  Sarcasm aside, there's a high chance 1 of 2 people reading this have said the words “I’m sorry for your loss” at some point. Even worse, there’s also a chance some of you reading this have had those words said to you, especi...

Let’s talk about money, baby!! 💵  We initially thought this would be a much more serious conversation but this episode ended up being hands down one of the funniest we’ve ever done 😂. Daniel is absolute jokes!  On a real though, we wanted to compare our personal finance culture within the lines of being frugal and being lavish!  We spoke about how family and social environments influenced our fi...

Depending on who you talk to, the monogamy/polygyny/polyandry debate is often dismissed at surface level. Mostly without any reflexive thought. For example, If we asked, “is monogamy for you?” What would your answer be? And why?  In the same way, If we also asked, “can you be polygamous?”, what would your answer be? And why? And, how do you know your answer is not only because of what seems ‘norma...

Influencers. ‘Everyday’ internet users who accumulate a large social media following through narrations of their lives and lifestyle, engage with their following in digital and physical spaces and monetise their following - Crystal Abidin The popularity of influencers has consistently been on the rise, but for some reason, we never paid proper attention to the uniqueness of the craft. Then it hit...

The one about grassroots politics as a way forward. Is it possible that the practical steps to change our country may be to start where we can? To find the least difficult point of infiltration? To find the Achilles heel in the political structure that we can reach? What do you understand about “grassroots politics”? Do you know who your local government chairman is? Do you know who your councillo...

The one about shaping things to come. In this final episode of our 4th season (mad right?) we took a trip back in time to take another stab at a conversation we both had last year, the one that kicked us off on starting this podcast.  Our first episode was technically meant to be a one-hit-wonder, something fun we could try and just see how it goes. In that episode, we talked about the global coro...
