    should we strive for indulgence? | good morning 47

    we talk about indulgence, thabi’s relationship with food, and whether it’s crazy that kii doesn’t use sunscreen every morning (it’s actually crazy but we’ll give him time). this episode was recorded on the day of the unpack dinner party in 2023, make sure you become a patron to get all the latest info on the 2024 events x
