    No More Mr. Nice Guy

    You may have heard the saying "nice guys finish last", well do they? In our comeback episode, we dissect the "niceness" of the nice guy— what it means, why it's problematic, and our own experiences with it. We also discuss the "nice guys" in movies like 500 Days of Summer, The Devil Wears Prada and we manage to sprinkle in a Twilight reference (it wouldn't be an episode of Mistakes in the Making without one)! So tune in as we dissect the "nice guy" trope.  Share your thoughts with us on: Instagram: @mistakesinthemakingpodcast Twitter: @MITMPodcastt

    Fantasies: Post-Covid & Otherwise

    Do you guys have any fantasies? This week we chat about our post-covid fantasies as we try and dissect if having them is healthy or not - much like our other coping mechanisms. Somehow we end up talking about the content we are consuming and realise that the thread that ties all of chains of thought in this episode is that we are somewhat thirsty for the male species.

    Things That Can F**k Off

    This week, we finally spoke on a topic that we personally feel we are well-versed in discussing— things that can f**k off. We give our professional opinions on those nasty pesky things in this world that we would honestly be better without. So tune in to listen to our banter as we critique the human race.

    The Love Island Ick

    We’ve got the ick and this time it’s cause of Love Island. Yes, we did see the entire season and came to the conclusion that we would make way better Love Island contestants as this season just did not have that magic. In the episode we dissect the show, this season's shortcomings and give our unfiltered thoughts on the couples (or lack there off) as we chat about our game tactics if we were ever on the show, it’s editing and production, and just your same old Aash and Zee brains doing it’s braining.

    How We Became Women This Pandemic

    Ummm... we're back! Sorry about the delay, but one of us tested positive for Covid. Tune in to find out who. In this episode, we discuss the signs that we are maturing #Ageing (Olay sponsors us). As we become women, we reflect on the little things (boys) that have changed over the past two years.  Share your thoughts with us on: Instagram: @mistakesinthemakingpodcast Twitter: @MITMPodcastt

    Lad Culture, Mad Culture

    As most of you probably know, Italy defeated England in the Euros this week— and with that lost came a tirade of outcry by the football hooligans, which perfectly showed the toxicity of Lad Culture. This week, we broke down the history of Lad Culture and the way it links to toxic masculinity. Make sure to tune in to listen to a refined analysis of the problematic tropes of Lad Culture and the way it impacts society.

    Love’s Jigsaw

    Well listeners, Aash finally watched Daniel Sloss' standup special, Jigsaw! We broke down Daniel's theory on love and relationships and shared the important lessons we learned from him as we chatted about our experiences. We also discussed our love for dark humour and how it helps us deal with life. Later, we chatted about Victoria's Secret rebranding and if they can counteract the damage they have caused over the years they promoted unrealistic body standards to women.

    I'd Rather Lose Them Than Me

    "I'd rather lose them than me." We keep coming back to this phrase, so we decided to dissect what it means to lose yourself in a relationship with a person. We shared personal anecdotes when we gave too much of ourselves to people that simply did not deserve it and then discussed the lessons we learned and how we plan to avoid losing ourselves in relationships in the future, somehow digressing into growing up female and the ridiculous policing we’ve faced. We also had a few crazy moments as we shared some wild theories about how people get lured into traps when in relationships and have our tips on how to prevent it.. hopefully they work?! Make sure to listen to this one! Share your thoughts with us on: Instagram: @mistakesinthemakingpodcast Twitter: @MITMPodcastt
