    Psycho Lover Vol. 4

    Welcome to the fourth annual Psycho Lover Halloween special edition episode of Simpin After Dark, where I get into submissions from you, the listener! Karagan joins me to talk about IAMDDB's 2023 single, "Where did the Love Go?", which is about choosing yourself and remaining true to yourself no matter what. There's some fun lines in there that lead us to talk about the type of men that are obsessed with their homeboys and spend all their time with them, and give all their effort to them, while neglecting their girlfriends. We also talk about the negative impact that the ego can have in a relationship and why you should be wary of someone with too much ego, or of you yourself having too much ego. Then we get into the submitted Psycho Lover story about revenge porn, and share some tips on how to protect yourself, and also the legal side of what happens if you are ever in that predicament. We talk celeb drama about Lori Harvey, Drake, and Doja Cat, and end with reading some hate comments from incels and broke mean men on our viral TikTok video about avoiding cheap frugal men.

    It's Not My Job

    Karagan joins me to talk about FLO's song, "Not My Job", which is all about setting boundaries and not dealing with men that aren't doing the work to be better partners, because it's not our job as women to make them into something they're not. It's a fun little bop with an early 2000's R&B vibe, and it has a great message that we can all apply to our lives. We continue last week's conversation about the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard ft. Anna Kendrick, which shared many great lessons about toxic relationships, and dealing with gaslighting and manipulation. We also discuss some insane TikTok live's about "90 Day Rules for Men While Dating", which are absolutely ridiculous. We then get into conversations about men and their preferences of who they wife up versus "have fun with", overbearing mother in laws, toxic boy moms, advice from Esther Perel, pick me's, and a lot of other juicy topics, so tune in 3 Follow Me IG/Twitter/Tik Tok @simpinafterdark Follow Karagan on ig @lady_karagan & Tik Tok @lady_karagan Check out her music on all streaming platforms and keep an eye out for upcoming projects 3 Follow Ashley @ash_friday_ on IG Go like "Simpin After Dark" playlist on Spotify by ashleyym91 Youtube - Click here to watch full episodes Intro song - Lo-fi Type Beat - Dreaming (Prod.

    You're Gonna Want Me Back

    April joins me to talk about Kali Uchis' latest single, "I Wish you Roses", from her highly anticipated album, Red Moon in Venus, dropping March 3rd, 2023. It's all about releasing people with love and grace, and trusting that you'll be better off, and they'll get what's coming to them. She emphasizes that she expects to be treated like a queen, and if that isn't happening then she'll be gone, and it's their loss. A true bop about self love and not jeopardizing your peace or letting them see you sweat. Then we deep dive some of the gems that were dropped on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, featuring Anna Kendrick, because there were so many, and they were too good not to share. She gives the rundown on her toxic ex relationship, and all the lying, gaslighting, manipulation, and mental abuse that she went through. She was extremely honest and vulnerable about her own attachment issues, and how she finally was able to leave. She also starred in a movie that recently came out, Alice, Darling, which is about a controlling boyfriend, and the scary, sinister way in which you can end up in an abusive relationship, so we talk a bit about that.

    Is There More to Love?

    Today I start by explaining the brat kink that I promised I'd get into last episode, and the kink of telling your sub what to wear. While searching for what that kink is called or if it's even a thing at all, I learned about candaulism, and dollification, which are super interesting so brace yourself for a little history and BDSM sidebar. Elle Eliades's latest single, "More to Love" is a beautiful, soulful tune about feeling bored and distant in a relationship, and wondering if there's more to look forward to or if that's all there is. Her opening line, "I know the movies lie, but I hope there is more to love than this", sets the tone for the conversation about whether movies have given us an impossible portrayal of love, or maybe we're just not in the right relationship. Maybe there's no right answer, but in this episode I entertain the idea that it could be a little bit of both, but that we all deserve a love that ignites our life and that it's worth not giving up on. I also read a short but insightful conversation that I saw on twitter, based on a TikTik screenshot, about how love is all around us and we show it in so many ways that aren't limited to sexual or typical romantic expressions, and that our expectations and view of love shouldn't be so narrow. Then I talk about a concerning TikTok I saw of older men doing the "She's a 5 but_____. She's a 10 but" trend, princess treatment and being spoiled, and finally the "getting flewed out" discourse and the rape culture it's perpetuating.

    Ain't Your Girl No More

    Today I'm getting into UK R&B singer, Jaz Karis's, 7 song EP, "DEAR JAZ" (2022). It's an honest and vulnerable expression of the difficulty of breakups, the back and forths, and becoming whole again. She realizes she's dealing with a narcissist who is breaking her down and making her feel as if she's an option, so she makes the difficult decision to move on and heal, which is a story that many women can relate to. It's a cathartic, moody listen, perfect for a night drive, or for crying your heart out to if you're also going through a break up. Then I talk about the latest misogynist f*ckery: Passport Bros. Men are not just getting their passports and traveling to other countries where women are more submissive, but they're building platforms off of advising other weird losers to do the same. It's predatory and promoting sex tourism, and the exploitation of women in unfavorable financial situations. I read some wild comments from passport bros or aspiring passport bros, on a YouTube video about their whole deal, so brace yourself. Lastly I talk about how some men and their egos express their desire for control by trying to change the way you dress, using a YouTube couple as an example. I also compare it to another couple on TikTok, where the guy showed interest in dressing his girlfriend, in a much less sinister way, and I explain the difference. There was also some juicy but unnecessary drama surrounding that video, so I get into that and say my piece.
