Onai is joined by Nomaliso and Monalisa in this episode talks about two things that may ruin any Sunday, potholes and church bullies. Do you ever feel like some people at church judge you for things like make - up, dressing and tattoos? Do mens groups and womens groups destroy more than they build? The team discusses
Nyasha, and Mark join Onai for this episode that is very late. Our sincerest apologies. This episode covered the ending of the marriage for Bill and Melinda Gates. The jokes that came from it and peoples reactions. How do you know that you know that the person that you just started dating is not a rebound from your past relationship? Onai introduces a new segment called "Me and my internet crushes". The first question he asks is, should you ever count yourself out of the race for your internet crush when she/he is giving off "I am too rich for you" vibes?
Despite the title, this show aint about what you are probably thinking about. Onai and Archie linked up this past Sunday and you will get to experience something close to a regular conversation between the two friends. Onai and Archie talk about changes in their adulting life, celebrating wins and taking stock of growth in a longer that usual intro They question the view that managers in ZSE listed companies have of young Zimbabweans, whether young people are lazy or the old people are scared. In the feeling station, they try and tackle the reason why men find it hard to take back or to forgive a girl that cheats. This and more
Nigel and Mark join Onai in this episode which was recorded after the absence from podding that came from a sickness in the crew. They come back with the story about Nigels cop stop which turned into a virginity evaluation and possible request for sexual favours from Nigel by the ZRP officers. YIKES. In “about a week ago”, the trio talk about the Zimbabwean independence holiday and if it really means anything to the youthies of the teapot country. Or maybe its the youthies that are ungrateful? They rant about the Youth service program relaunch and try to see if can be saved. In an issue that is possibly stale news at this point is the leaked nudes from a popular Zim social media celeb… the culture of nudes and where its taking people. In the feeling station, the gents ask, “what do you bring to the table?” .. Yes, you… you reading this blurb

Onai is joined in by Tatenda Muchopa (Choppy), Archie and Nyasha in this show recorded over the easter holiday. In this show, they discuss muroora duties, is the rebellion against it by our generation of ladies a reasonable pushback against gender roles created by our traditional patriachal systems or maybe, the girls are just cry babies who dont wanna work? The podders also review Holy Tens new song "machills" in which Onai asks the question on who has the responsibility for controllin consensual drunken behaviour, men who invite girls to "marinate" them or ladies who knowingly go to these places and just want to have a good time? (we are not mensplainig..relax). In the feeling station, We are a generation that will most likely start having families much later than our parents. So we will be much older parents. We are more educated though and probably have achieved more personal growth (development) than our parents at our age. Only thing is that having kids much older comes with the challenges of conception being tougher, energy to keep up with children and we are likely going to have a bigger generation gap.. Is this having kids later worth it?
This and so much more..

Nyasha and Nomaliso join Onai on this episode of the NOOG. As they have been away for a bit, they try and break down whats been happening on the political spheres of the teapot shaped country. They first evaluate the success of the 31 July Protest and Nomaliso explains why all businesses were doing "stock take" on that day. They also talk about the #ZimbabweanLivesMatter trend and if the reach that it did across the world will change the fate of Zimbabwe's history. In the final segment, Onai tries to defend Misred against the backlash that she received from statements she said in radio interview from a Ghanaian radio station this past week..Nomaliso thinks otherwise. This and the usual clever craziness in this episode.
Alternative episode titles 1. Was Misred, Miss - read? 2. Were we were when we were gone 3. Did you notice that the second title is made up of words that starts with "W" except for one word?

This episode was recorded last week with, Mark, Archie, Monalisa.. and Nyasha. In this episode, the team talked about Hopewell Chin'onos arrest and how people felt like.. other people (themselves really) were letting Hopewell down. The question the team tried to answer was, what does, "not letting him down" mean? They also touched on Zimbabwes relationship with its celebrities as far as their activity online went when it came to speaking out about injustice. Could it be that it might have become, here is that word again... toxic? And probably the first thing they talked about was, marriage, "why are you not yet married?", what would happen if the question was switched over and asked to the gents?
alternative titles 1. Why is the episode a week late 2. Actually, its two weeks late 3. See, thats why we like that other podcast..

Nomaliso, Nigel and Archie join Onai in this episode where they find out why Onai and Nigel might become a frequent customers of a certain chain of supermarkets. Like the rest of the world, they had a lot to say about the Jada and Will red table talk after they got their feelings off their individual chests, they tried to see if it is ever worth it to "share your feelings with social media" as opposed to just addressing it with the people who you are in the "feels" for. All the subliminal whatsapp status updates that show that you are fighting with your person.. is it really that worth it or we all have freedom of speech so.. *shrugs. In the second segment, find out who in the NOOGies will be joining the 31st of July protests. .. Will they really be worth catching the Rona for? At this point, will getting into the streets work or they could really be much ado about nothing? On the flip side, what could the protests be good, who will benefit and will it be the ultimate answer? This and more of the usual NOOGie craziness.

In this show, the NOOGies navigate the conversation about "rape culture", sexual abuse and creation of safe spaces for women with Tawonga providing much needed clarity on subject.

In this discussion, they touch on what men should be doing and break it down into new interesting buzz phrases.

Mona, Archie and for a very interrupted first bit, Skittles join Onai in this second episode of season "hwam-poind-5". Onai goes off from his notes and asks if getting over a break us is harder if one feels like the person they broke up with isn't really hurting from the break up.? They engage in the conversation using experiences from their own lives and we get an insight of what their current love lives look like. They also steer the conversation and try to figure out if women from their parents generation were better girlfriend material in comparison to the women from their own generation. Onai agrees but Mona and Archie beg to differ providing their peculiar reasoning for it. Don't miss the behind the scenes action caught on this episode as we get cameo appearances from a certain podcasters mother.
Alternative episode titles 1. Hi Mum, this is my friend.. 2. Only broke boys get asked for space 3. Bedsite podcasting at its best
Welcome back-ish! Musa, Nyasha, Miri and Nigel join Onai for season 1.5 which is the first of a series of special quarantine editions done over Zoom. Whilst their podcasting skills may be a bit rusty, their friendship is still great. They talk about the experience of being “hey strangered” and you might understand why Nyasha and Nigel did not fully do the “Hey Strangering” properly. Onai asks ..one more time if there is any benefit for men to be super progressive as he thinks that being “such a good guy” really isn’t worth it. Find out why Nyasha thinks that a bit of douchebaggery is needed and also, why Nigel could never support social media commentator “Shadaya” in public. They also talk about the right type of partner you need to be to have a great relationship during the quarantine period and as usual, the inside jokes where Onai takes a swipe at the absent Skittles

We can't deny that baby fever is looking more like a trend than an actual parental decision.Lala gives ATG and Mr. IDFG chills with the thought of straight clubs just possibly becoming non-existent in the next three generations!
Lala stays arguing with the boys! This time over pregnancy not being a turn-up disability! A whole criteria check with the definition of a celebrity and how we underestimate their social scene lifestyle. And trust you definitely wanna party with Ishan!
It's called looking for evaluation not drug addiction!..the stereotype of bhawarangers being "drug abusers" gets trashed with good reason...and for the first time Lala and Yerorp agree on something! Zim we just ain't ready for the social scenes we crying for!

Get it all in this fun episode.
This week on NOOG the gang is made up of Skittles, Archie, Mark (the stray who isn’t a stray anymore) and Marigold. PS: She is Archie’s intern. Believe me, we all shocked that Archie even has an intern. They discuss the $600 minimum wage for civil servants, how possible it is to get away with any act of domestic violence if you are in a position of power and the police mishap of throwing teargas in an office. The boys also got super excited about the “consent” condom. Hashtags and Dotcoms looks at how the Peterhouse Extreme Reading picture sparked a social media outrage plus how Advocate Mahere was caught in the crossfire. Bae allowance for guys is talked about in the Feeling Station and the conversation takes a rather weird turn. Alternative episode titles: Everyone deserves bae allowance! Or not? Skittles in a uniform is a good idea. Is it just Extreme Reading or there is more?
The Hangers give us their top 3 places to burn up the dance floor and they tell us why! Different things really do happen at different times in the nightlife on both sides of Samora! Lala and Yerorp weigh in on that!
Archie, Skittles and Wimbikai aka Wimpy talk about Archie's trip to Mutare last week which leads to Wimpy posing questions about a certain picture posted on his Instagram account.

In Hashtags and Dotcoms, the gang explores why anyone would want to create a Shower App in Zimbabwe. The Feeling station looks at being a woman who is single in your late 20s, worse with a curfew.

In Hashtags and Dotcoms, the #DontJudgeMe topic entertains the girls plus they discuss whether it's okay to publish your donations for everyone to see. In the Feeling Station, Nyasha is in the feels about her friends asking her to play matchmaker in their lives.
Alternative episode titles:
How did we get to an hour though? Nyasha the (potential) matchmaker?
Somehow the gang (Skittles, Archie and Jerry) weren't sure as to what were the major highlights of last week. They ended up talking about Cyclone Idai, NGOs Bank Accounts on the verge of being monitored, New Zealand mosque massacre and how someone referenced it to being like Call of Duty (Cringe-worthy right?), rape allegations being peddled against the MDC-T leader and Job Sikhala's tweet about the issue. In Hashtags and Dotcoms, Skittles "rants" about the lack of a male blogging perspective on social issues and hilariously gets ambushed by Wimbikai, Archie and Jerry. The Feeling Station is based on a tweet about the type of Zimbabwean woman to marry and personal preferences
Alternative Show Title: Did you just say Call of Duty?
"Uncle curtly" confirms that a guy's slacking is what triggers the thot inside every girl! Generation X understood the turn-up life better than Generation Y? Or are millennial's just broke rather than stingy?
Because we have been slacking a little, ok a lot, NOOG decided to bring you a "short" episode. Skittles and Arcane discuss the how horrible it must have been to be left by an Air Zim flight (also the possible "acceptable" reasons why that happened), Water rationing in Harare, Why setting the age of consent from 18 to 12 years is a dumb idea, Vimbai Zimuto's nude photoshoot and the small house who was sued and made to pay $50000.
Alternative Episode Titles: It's a siblings show!! It was supposed to be a short episode but......
Yes, there is a way to behave as bhawarangers, we checking our club etiquette with no mercy! Lala and Yerorp give us a whole tutorial on the difference between a pub, nightclub and lounge and some do's and don'ts. Get your pens and notebooks out! You're going to need a drink too!
Turn up, turn offs are clearly proven to be the major Ls to a bhawa rangers mood and who is really aiding rapey tendencies into our social scenes, the ladies or gents? Oh and PS: Even the boys agree men are trash!
We begin the 2019 season with a chat with Grace, the ANSA Sportswoman of the Year. She talks us through family support, how difficult it can be for sportswomen to break through and as a sports journalist, she also speaks to some of the challenges she goes through in getting top news. Some rumours and life experiences are shared too. Enjoy!

Why ATG would rather wait for his hook up to be marinated elsewhere and why not he is a fan of doing the pre-works himself...and keeping it cool after getting it on with the unexpected seems to be easier said than done.
This week on NOOG: Miri and Mark join Skittles on another fun filled episode. During About a Week Ago they talk about a weird utterance from Zimbabwe's opposition leader, the recent fatal accidents that have plagued the country and the rather embarrassing Gweru Town council $10 million mishap. In the midst of this, Miri feels a bit left out from Skittles and Mark's side conversations. Hashtags and Dotcoms issues of polygamy are discussed. In addition, Miri schools everybody about Zim marriage laws. The team discusses how men are essentially tired of dating broke girls.
Alternative Topics Someone needs a functional PR team. $10million was almost gone Polygamy isn't so bad. Right?

Skittles hosts what seems like a reunion episode with Miri, Mark, and Archie who haven't been on the same episode in a while and it instantly goes rowdy. The hosts, full on Miri’s delectable (she made us type this) Cuptown cakes, serve an interesting conversation around Magaya’s HIV cure and whether that could be taking advantage of his congregation and how Onai the ‘geo’ Technocrat of condoms could have given better insight. What’s happening with Kwese’s removal of certain channels and has the Government really bought us fuel? What’s the SI that allows us to import the stuff the government should be bringing us? Mark schools us on this and Miri cooks up a feeling station that never was. Archie takes charge of the conspiracy theories and Miri looks for comebacks.
In the feeling station, “whose responsibility is it to make sure you’re healed from past hurt? Your boyfriend or God?” Mark goes into the feels in the true nature of the segment and Miri shares her recent experience with hurt while we wonder where Skittles is.

Jerry, (formely known as Jerry The Bartender), Archie and Mark join Onai in this very late edition of the podcast. This podcast is a non-expert but very important to listen to review of the Zimbabwean elections. The gents talk about their different experiences voting, who they bumped into as well as critical questions on the results of the elections. Who was the biggest loser? How does the crew feel about Fadzayi Mahere and other independent candidates not winning? What is cult voting and what type of democracy does it create? They also break down how why ZANU PF has so much love in the rural areas and what it is that its opponents didnt do that they did. If you think that the views expressed in the podcast are insensitive, remember one thing, "we are a child". If that line went over your head, listen to the episode and enjoy..
