    253rd Date: When Your Life is a Domino Effect of Bad Decisions
    2025/06/27
    Hosts: C.L., Doc G, Khori, & Yusuf Yusuf and Fraronda are back with another episode packed with real talk, deep feels, and just enough laughs to keep you from ugly crying (well, maybe). Inspired by a poem that basically says “we’re all just five bucks away from asking for fries,” they get into how life can flip on a dime — and how mental health, bad days, and tough choices sneak up on everyone. They break down the movie Straw (spoiler: it’s heavy), but don’t worry, they sprinkle in some jokes about being totally done with school drama and daycare nonsense. Then they jump into The Pursuit of Happyness, because who doesn’t love a dad trying to keep his kid safe while living like it’s an episode of Survivor? Bonus points for the heartbreaking lipstick moment that got them all choked up. If you thought this was just a serious vibe, nah — these two keep it real with some hilarious “what I would’ve done” moments (spoiler: probably more yelling and a lot less patience). And heads up — next episode they’re diving into Forever, so buckle up for more feels, laughs, and probably some more weird analogies. So grab your favorite drink (fries optional) and join Yusuf and Fraronda for the kind of chat that makes you think, cry, and laugh all at once.

    252nd Date: Can You Admit You NEED Therapy?
    2025/05/26
    Hosts: C.L., Doc G, Khori, & Yusuf Imagine this: Your partner’s best friend starts acting like they’re auditioning for a rom-com... and you’re stuck playing the jealous, confused sidekick. Yeah, it’s THAT kind of episode. On this week’s Relationship Status, we dive headfirst into the wild world of “Who’s crossing the line?” and “How many hugs did I NOT get as a kid?” We break down the unspoken “male best friend goes missing” rule (yep, it’s a thing), and why sometimes the best way to handle your feelings is... therapy. Because, let’s be honest, $80 a week to unpack all your emotional baggage? Sounds cheaper than a breakup! Plus, we get real about love languages, awkward childhood love deficits (hug anyone?), and why showing feelings feels like trying to do cardio when you’d rather nap. Spoiler alert: Everyone needs therapy. Yes, even you. So buckle up for some hilarious truths, awkward confessions, and a whole lot of “OMG, same!” moments. If your relationship ever made you say, “Wait, what just happened?” — this episode is your new best friend. Popcorn recommended. Side-eyes from your partner optional.

  • 249th Date: Is My Relationship a Red Flag?

    249th Date: Is My Relationship a Red Flag?
    2025/05/12

    Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf

    In this heartfelt and humorous episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf and Faronda dive deep into the complexities of modern relationships—romantic, platonic, and everything in between. From navigating the evolving dynamics of co-parenting and closure to wrestling with the innocence we lose as adults, they explore how missed opportunities and fear of vulnerability can cost us meaningful connections. The duo unpacks how childhood simplicity once made relationships more honest and questions how adulthood often complicates that clarity.

    They also discuss emotional responsibility, navigating uncomfortable truths, and the challenge of realigning relationships when expectations don’t meet reality. And in true RSP fashion, the episode is peppered with laughter, accountability (yes, hot dogs were involved), and a blooper-worthy struggle to remember the “Question of the Week.”

    This week’s question: Your partner never posts you, but always posts food, pets, and shoes—red flag or no big deal?

    Tune in for the laughs, stay for the insight.

    2025/05/05

    Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf

    In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, hosts Yusuf and Fraronda dive deep into the often-blurred lines between love, lust, and emotional safety. From deciphering the real intentions behind DMs to discussing how past traumas shape our approach to vulnerability, they explore what it means to "lean in" versus "chase" in modern relationships. The duo unpacks the importance of emotional discernment, how both men and women carry walls into new connections, and why mutual safety is essential for true intimacy. With real talk, laughter, and a few live reactions to dating app antics, this episode invites listeners to reflect on whether they’ve ever pushed away someone who genuinely leaned in. They also get into an advice letter from a husband who is at hos whits end! Tune in, share your thoughts, and join the ongoing conversation about building relationships that are both safe and soulful.

    Question of the Week:
    Have you ever pushed away someone who leaned into loving you? Why?
