In this episode, we get a lil nostalgic about the methods our African parents used in raising us. For Tolu, he experienced "spare the rod and spoil the child" first hand whenever he fell outta line and for Nene, his parents were close to building him his very own dog house to sleep outside after doing "big boy" on the Accra night-life scene. Also, we share our views on whether social media-driven up life expectations are way too high leaving people lost in the sauce when they realize that actually, life ain't nothing but a pot of beans.
