Why Are We Obsessed With Going Viral?!

Is chasing fame the worst career move you could make? James & Robert are here with another episode of The Double Cleanse, this week all about social media virality! After diving into their hotel nightmare (complete with invisible people and conjoining rooms…), the Welsh Twins are breaking down the harsh reality behind those millions of views from the fleeting nature of internet fame to the questionable ways people engineer their viral moments. James and Robert get brutally honest about how "going viral" has lost all meaning in 2025, the impact of the internet’s ever-shortening attention span, and how viral success rarely translates into sustainable careers or genuine connections with audiences. They discuss the psychology behind our obsession with viral content, the dark side of internet fame and why they actively avoid going viral themselves (yes, really). If you've ever dreamed of your 15 minutes of TikTok fame or wondered if viral success is worth the price, this episode is your reality check.

Looking For The Most Overhyped Beauty Products? These Are The Worst!

The Welsh Twins are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James and Robert are throwing shade at the beauty products everyone loves to hype! Starting off with a debate about American vs British customer service culture (including a shop that has a quota for its staff members touching customers!), we're then diving into the most overhyped, under-delivering beauty products ever. From the cult-favourite Tarte Shape Tape concealer that Robert describes as "liquidated clay" to Caudalie's Beauty Elixir, which James lovingly calls "overpriced mouthwash in a bottle". The twins aren't holding back as they dissect why these viral sensations might not deserve all the praise! They're discussing everything from questionable brand ethics to ingredients that have no business being on your face. Plus, they're calling out Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream for making you stick to your bed sheets! If you love the products they're roasting, don't worry – they still love you. But get ready for some brutal honesty and a reminder that hype doesn't always equal quality.

Is Skincare Actually Ruining Your Skin?

Have we just uncovered one of the biggest beauty scams? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are diving into the great skincare paradox! After Robert admitted to finally seeing through a skincare routine (and getting the benefits from it!) in last weeks episode, we're now looking at the other skin. James and Robert explore why your skin barrier is begging you to chill out, how overcomplicated routines can backfire spectacularly and the psychological trap of thinking you need 47 steps to look decent. They also discuss the rise of "skinfluencers" pushing excessive routines and how the industry profits from making you feel like your face is constantly broken. From chemical burns disguised as "purging" to the satisfying simplicity of a three-step routine, James and Robert share their brutally honest takes on when skincare becomes self-sabotage. It's a reality check for product hoarders everywhere!

Is The Internet Getting Meaner? And, Does Hate Guarantee You Viral Success?

The internet is full of hate messages... but, can you turn hate into success on social media? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are diving deep into online negativity! Are internet users just getting meaner? James and Robert dive into why TikTok comments feel more vicious than traditional YouTube hate, the rise of "rage baiting" as a hobby and how the algorithm encourages negativity for engagement (you too, can turn a hate comment into viral content!). They discuss the difference between valid criticism and just being an ass and the glorious satisfaction of publicly embarrassing commenters who leave hate with their full name and Bible quotes in their bio. From serial commenters to performative cruelty, nothing is off limits.

Begging Your Friends For Support? It’s Out!

We're diving into a tropic that is guaranteed to spark debate: should your friends and family support your influencer journey? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are sharing their unfiltered POV! They discuss why forcing your mum to like every post might actually harm your algorithm, the difference between genuine organic growth and pity follows, and why treating your content creation like a business from day one is crucial. The twins get brutally honest about the "begging culture" on TikTok, explain why reaching follower milestones through forced support is pointless, and offer better alternatives for building a real community. It's tough love for aspiring creators, but someone needs to say it!

Have Influencers Become Boring?

Our social media feeds are filled with influencer content nowadays... have we all had enough? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are giving their state of the nation on influencers! From "TikTok speak" to how identical brand briefs have made everyone sound the same, James and Robert are diving into how the influencer industry has evolved from exciting media disruptors to predictable walking billboards. They also share their thoughts on why certain achievements have lost their wow factor, the natural distrust audiences have developed toward sponsored content and why tapping on products actually makes sense (fight them on this!). As always, it's brutally honest, occasionally chaotic, and a reminder that even your favourite creators are tired of saying the same things!
