This week, Erica and Yateh are talking about a lot of things, while giving a strong side-eye to Canadian politics (*episode recorded pre-disappointing election results). It's obvious that Doug Ford hates Toronto...and frankly, Toronto doesn't like him either.🙃 We couldn't leave it on that salty note though because summer is here and this is when Toronto shines: OVO Fest, Caribana, Luminato, the Ex...the city is back!
This week Erica and Yateh do a deep dive into an article posted by The Cut “The Rich New York Women Who Love Their Fake Birkins” or what we call it, when the rich lean into being scammers 😂. Of course they share their back to office woes 😓
Erica and Yateh dive back into travel corner and Yateh’s packing woes-are they woes? They touch on different types of travellers and tipping - how much is too much? Last, but certainly not least Erica and Yateh binged the newest season of Selling Sunset and have lots of thoughts
This week Erica and Yateh start off with Conspiracy Corner - why are wealthy people cosplaying as poor? We have eyes! We barely used allegedly this time lol.
The 2000s are coming back whether we want it to or not (we really don't want this lmao). While their on the on the fashion wave Erica and Yateh talk fast fashion and sustainability.
It's a whirlwind of topics and we're happy to share it with you!

This episode Erica and Yateh discuss Love is Blind 2 (*recorded before the final episode) and Yateh believes everyone is trash. Both hosts are excited that international travel is back on the table and are ready to blow this popsicle stand. Even with travel opening up you need to do a lot of cross checking to make sure you don't stuck on your way back.
