5 Weekend Early Mornings

Someone on Reddit found and Organ transplant container in a FIELD? WTH? 

Mtha and Tom laugh a lot, mostly at (not with) each other. How long can they sustain this? 

YES... another AI conversation but at least this time its interesting. Oprah asked the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, a pretty interesting question and... obvs... we have some thoughts. 

As we watch our parents grow up, we can see their strange habits reering their heads every now and again and honestly, it's just best to make fun of them TBH!

Tom and Mtha only speak in song lyrics. Every answer is dramatic, every sentence sounds suspiciously familiar, and the poor person on the other end has to figure out whether they are being helped, serenaded, or slowly losing their mind...

Tom and Mtha take friendship to a deeply unnecessary new level when Tom presents Mtha with the ultimate personal gift: his freshly removed wisdom tooth. Is it sentimental? Is it horrifying? Is it technically jewellery if you put it on a necklace? This episode dives into the strange intimacy of weird gifts, co-host boundaries, and why some friendships should probably come with a warning label.

In this episode, they call a pizza shop and turn one simple conversation into complete confusion. Every answer gets twisted, every instruction gets misheard, and somehow the name “Peter” becomes the centre of the entire call.

This week, Tom and Mtha unpack the strange, funny, and surprisingly common childhood habits that somehow followed us into adulthood. From comfort rituals and picky routines to the odd things we still do without thinking, this episode is all about the little behaviours that make us human. Tom reveals his family’s bizarre retching competitions with his mom, while Mtha admits she still speaks to her mom in a baby voice. It is weird, nostalgic, and very relatable.

In the not so distant past, before TikToks were a thing, the world was kept entertained by six second videos on a platform known as Vine. This platform gave rise to some of the most iconic memes and memorable quotes, it wouldn't be a stretch to consider Vine a cultural phenomenon of note, raising generations on quick humour and sharp wit. It's been 6 years since the platform was shut down, but Tshepi pays tribute to some of the most iconic clips to surface from the platform.
