    004 - The Reality Check: Love, Lies & Relationship Drama

    Welcome to The Reality Check… where friendship drama, relationship dilemmas, questionable decisions and moral grey areas get put up for debate. This week, Reddit has us seriously concerned about relationships. We're talking cheating partners and surprise babies, a mother-in-law who committed an unforgivable crime against LEGO, an anniversary trip that somehow became a group holiday, and a boyfriend who's only a dog dad when it's convenient. And just when we thought we'd seen enough red flags, one badly worded comment about an ex somehow threatens an entire marriage. As always, we're reading the stories, debating who's actually in the wrong, and giving our completely unsolicited and probably too-honest opinions. Because sometimes you don't need relationship advice. You just need someone to tell you: be for flipping real. 🎙️ New episodes every week. Chapter Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro & Weekly Catch-Up 4:10 - The sidepiece who showed up at the front door… with his baby 16:10 - The mother-in-law who smashed months of LEGO building in one night 30:00 - The anniversary trip he turned into a group holiday… without telling his wife 39:07 - Being a dog parent only when it's convenient 46:51 - Breaking up with my ex was one of my biggest regrets Got a story that needs The Reality Check? Send it our way. We may not always agree, but we can almost guarantee we'll have opinions. 👀 📲 Follow Keeping It Real for clips, behind-the-scenes chaos and conversations that probably should've stayed in the group chat.

    003 - The Corporate Survival Guide: Work Drama & Weaponized Incompetence

    Welcome to The Corporate Survival Guide, where we solve workplace problems with absolutely no HR approval. This week, we're heading to Reddit to unpack the kind of office drama that makes you question whether you're a team player or just doing everyone else's job. We're talking weaponized incompetence, co-workers who use you as human Google, bosses who think planned time off means available on WhatsApp, and what happens when the person replacing you still expects you to do the job you already left. Plus, Steph and Nessie share a few corporate horror stories of their own, from bad hires and late-night deadlines to replacements who couldn't quite replace them. Because sometimes the problem isn't that you're bad at your job. It's that you're too good at it, and everyone knows it. 🎙️ New episodes every week. Chapter Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro & Weekly Catch-Up 3:05 - Work Drama #1: My Co-Worker Uses Me as Human Google 15:00 - Work Drama #2: Don’t Call Me on My Day Off 29:05 - Work Drama #3: Why Am I Still Training My Replacement? 34:20 - Would You Go Back? Got a workplace story that belongs in The Corporate Survival Guide? Send it our way, because some of our best episodes might just come from you. 👀 📲 Follow Keeping It Real for clips, behind-the-scenes chaos and conversations that definitely wouldn't make it past HR.

    002 - Checked In, Checked Out: We Need to Talk About Your Review

    The guest is always right… right? 👀Except when they’re not. This week, we're officially checking in to one of our favourite Keeping It Real segments: Checked In, Checked Out, where we unpack one-star reviews, ridiculous guest complaints, hospitality disasters and the stories that make you wonder what actually happened. Armed with years of hospitality experience and absolutely no shortage of opinions, we're looking at both sides of the front desk. From a wedding site inspection that took an unexpected turn, to some very questionable accusations, disputed charges, over-capacity chaos, VIP demands in fully booked hotels, and the fine line between a complimentary upgrade and an expectation… there’s a lot to unpack and not all of it adds up. Was the service actually terrible? Was the guest completely justified? Or is someone just mad they didn't get their way? We're reading the reviews. We're hearing both sides. And yes… we're judging. Welcome to Checked In, Checked Out. And remember: if you've ever worked in hospitality, or have a review you think we NEED to unpack, we want to hear it. 🎙️ New episodes every week. Chapter Timestamps: 0:00 - Welcome Back to Keeping it Real 0:58 - This or That: Getting to Know Nessie & Steph 7:08 - Introducing Checked In, Checked Out 7:48 - One-Star Reviews: Weddings Gone Wrong 15:49 - Hotel Charges, Credit Cards & “Theft” 22:17 - Missing Jewellery & Hotel Investigations 29:55 - When Guest Complaints Don’t Add Up 34:13 - VIP Guests, Sold-Out Hotels & Entitlement 39:33 - When a Free Upgrade Becomes an Expectation 43:07 - The Parking Pass Debacle 📲 Follow us for more Keeping It Real chaos, behind-the-scenes moments, and the conversations that probably should’ve stayed off-mic. And if you’ve got a hospitality horror story or a review we NEED to talk about, send it our way. 👀 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wekeepitrealpod/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wekeepitrealpod Youtube: www.youtube.com/@wekeepitrealpod X: https://x.com/wekeepitrealpod  ⭐ If we made you laugh, question a review, or say “the guest is definitely NOT always right,” follow the show, leave us a rating, and send this episode to someone who would have opinions too.

    001 - So… We Started a Podcast

    Well... we actually did it. Welcome to Keeping It Real: the podcast where two friends overshare, argue, laugh way too much, and somehow end up recording it for the internet. In our very first episode, we're introducing ourselves, explaining how this whole podcast happened (spoiler: there may have been a little coercion), and giving you a taste of the completely unfiltered conversations you can expect every week. From outrageous nights out and hospitality horror stories to relationship dilemmas, flying private, airplane etiquette, and our first round of This or That, nothing is off-limits. If you've ever thought, "Did they really just say that?" ...you're in the right place. 🎙️ New episodes every week. Chapter Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction and Welcome to Keeping It Real 5:18 - How Keeping It Real Started: Banter and Coercion 15:56 - Why You Should Listen to the Podcast 17:30 - Wild Night Out Stories: Beer Bills, Lost Tracks, and Messy Mornings 23:02 - Hospitality Horror Stories: Entitled Guests 37:52 - Relationship Talk: Reaching Out to the Other Woman 30:35 - Flying Private and Airplane Seating Etiquette 38:05 - Sneak Peek Segment: "This or That" (Hospitality Edition) 📲 Follow us for behind-the-scenes moments, clips, and the chaos that doesn't make the episodes.
