My Friends Are Not My Peers.. | Side Effects of Competition

This week, your favorite duo is back in the studio with yet another norm-poking conversation. We start off the show (2:49) this week with Joyner Lucas’ “Tear it Down” off his new album, and we rate his new record real quick, and catch up (5:05) with our week. Then Naomie poses the question of the week (16:24) on being honest with your partner when they gain weight, and obviously, this sends the room into a spiral. On Nana’s Corner (47:11), we discuss the Astronomer CEO and his HR cheating reveal at the Coldplay concert, our thoughts on Buhari’s passing, UK vs US rap beer, + MORE.

In the main portion of the show (1:22:11), we discuss extensively the concept of competition against our peers and how that is the thief of joy. We question if it is healthy to match our accomplishments against those of our peers. We also reminisce on moments when we felt like competition for our peers and vice versa, how it made us feel, and impacted our psyche as well as the dynamic of our friendship. We pose the question: Is competition against ourselves or our peers best for motivation or depression? This and more on this episode! Enjoy the show!
