Episode 204: You Can’t Unring That Bell…
What are your thoughts about people who put their business on social media for public consumption? We all have naturally done things through spite,
out of anger and in the heat of the moment. But have you ever taken to the public forum regarding your gripes - meaning, have you ever resorted to social media in an effort to vent about your relationship? In your opinion, could this ever be a good idea? If so, how far is too far?
Envy & Gia share their experiences and opinions on the subject. Would you agree that social media outbursts do more harm to a relationship than good? If so, then what, in your opinion is the proper protocol to make amends privately? The conversation continued as Envy expressed that the best way for him to resolve most conflicts is to keep the conversation short and appear as though you agrees with Gia, in order to avoid a long, drawn out conversation. In this mind - if she’s happy, he’s happier. He uses the, “less is more” approach and has no desire to ‘dig deep’.
Meanwhile, Gia believes that more is more and always wants to get to the root of behavior through in-depth discussions… ie. “But tell me WHY you are sorry…” She questions Envy until she gets an understandable explanation regarding why he prefers not to communicate at times…
Who’s side are you on? Let’s talk about it….

Episode 198: If It’s Not On Social Media It Ain't Real....
Do you agree with this saying? If a person is serious about you, do you expect them to “share you with the world”? Do you expect them to be proud of you and want to show you off? If this is the case, and they don’t, what does that say to you about their intentions, commitment and your relationship as a whole? This issue is the cause of a lot of strife between couples in this day of social media... Envy and Gia have this conversation as it touches on other topics such as what influences young men to cheat and the logic behind why certain women choose to stay with a cheating man...
Let’s talk about it...🗣🗣🗣

Episode 197: I Wasn't Flirting... I Was Just Being Nice...
What is your definition of flirting? Do you view it as an innocent act or, rather, the beginning of something potentially more serious? Do you think that it is completely inexcusable or that there simply should be boundaries when you are in a relationship? Have you ever been in a relationship where flirting (by you or your partner) lead to something deeper? Do you believe that having a “work husband” or “work wife” is inappropriate, even though these type of relationships may happen organically? Lastly, do you think that being too nice to a person can turn into a mixed signal implying interest when there, in all actuality, is none? Let’s talk about it…

Episode 196: You’ve Got Mail...
Every week, Envy & Gia read a viewer/listener email 📧 that they find interesting. With such a high volume of emails, they decided to dedicate an episode just to answer some of your questions...

This email also begs the question - Ladies, if you were in a comfortable financial situation with your partner, would you give up your career to become a homemaker/domestic engineer if the opportunity presented itself? Or, would you keep your career in order to remain independent?
Let’s talk about it...

Episode 195: I Think I’m Ready To Risk It All...
Do you believe that your upbringing has anything to do with your relationship style, love language or put simply, how you treat people? Are you from the school of thought that dictates “you must teach people how to treat you”? Envy recently saw a instagram post implying that men’s treatment of women is based on their feelings for them. Gia feels as though some people may not have the appropriate experience, maturity or worldliness to fulfill their partners needs... Would you agree? Or, rather, do you believe that quality of relationships are the result of time and progression? What are some ways you believe you could teach someone how to treat you in a relationship?
The 📧 Email Of The Week 📧 comes from a curious listener who recently stepped out on her marriage. She feels as though her husband does not prioritize her, is selfish and is not giving as much to the relationship as she is (to put it lightly). She finds that she has an unbelievable connection with ‘her new boo’ who has opened her up to feelings that she didn’t know she was capable of having. She may be in a space where she is ready to risk it all 😩… So here’s the question... Would you leave your failing marriage if you were exposed to something that blew your mind or do you believe that the grass is not always greener on the other side?
Let’s talk about it...🗣🗣🗣

Episode 194: You’re Bad For My Mental Health..
Ladies, would you agree that social media culture and the internet combined have created a stigma on the way a women’s body should look in this day and time? Envy introduces the topic by telling Gia a story about a young girl who took raunchy photos to send to older men for money. This conversation evolved into another that posed the question, Do you feel as though women who take explicit pictures showing off their bodies are seeking attention or just simply asserting their confidence? Fellas, what’s your take on women who do this? Do they come off as thirsty to you? Envy and Gia share their opinions on the situation. The conversation continued with them sharing a recent occurrence involving Brooklyn. We all know that she is the boss of the house, but she broke the #1 rule, to never lie...

The 📧 Emails Of The Week 📧 are comprised of three emails...

2.) This emailer is upset that her husband gained some extra weight during quarantine and, as a result, sex is no longer sexy. She asks for different ways to communicate that to her spouse without hurting his feelings. Envy and Gia have different approaches that they suggest may help.
3.) How do you feel about working at the same job with your spouse? Can more time together be considered TOO much time together? This emailer shared that she performed her household duties such as cooking and cleaning while being laid off during COVID, yet her husband still complained that she waz lazy and needed to get a job.

In this episode, Envy and Gia discuss what happened between Kirk Franklin and his son. How would you react if your child aired out your family’s dirty laundry for public consumption? Do you think that you would be able to find it in your heart to forgive or would said child be excommunicated - banished to the land of ‘You Done F@&!ed Up” forever? Envy and Gia put themselves in Kirk Franklin’s shoes and discuss their thoughts...
The conversation continues as Envy brings up one of their guilty pleasures, The Bachelor, which has made headlines as of late.

Fellas how would you feel if your partner proposed to you? Would you feel put on the spot or find it to be endearing? Do you have a expiration date when it comes to dating and the transition from boyfriend/girlfriend to fiancé? Envy & Gia share their thoughts on the subject...
The 📧 Emails Of The Week 📧 are comprised of two emails...
1.) The first begs the question, does reaching out to an ex for a special occasion or to simply see how they’re doing insinuate that you want to rekindle the romance or rekindle a booty call? 🤭

A recent episode sparked a topic for discussion, “Do you think that you could marry someone if your parents didn’t approve of them? If you had to choose between moving forward with your partner and following your parents intuition about them, which would you lean toward?

Episode 184: You’re Average At Best..
In today’s episode, Gia, Raashaun and special invited guest and longtime friend , Lil Shaun watch a clip of a YouTube show hosted by Kevin Samuels, which went viral... In this clip, the host implies that above average men, which he describes as men in the top 10 (financial) percent, are not interested in below average (looking) women. He further implies that such men are typically exclusively interested in above average looking women with no baggage. In a nutshell, the take away from his show is that “average” people should have no expectation of ending up with an “above average” person because “above average” people don’t want them... So these are the questions that I pose to you…Do you agree with the age old notion that most women want men with money and most successful men want arm candy? And do you “qualify” for the type of partner that you desire? Let’s talk about it...🗣🗣🗣
