In this bite sized episode, M&N catch up over Love Is Blind UK as they wait in anticipation for the reunion episode to drop. Then, they jump right in to this week’s Mature or Manic story where Marie uses her voice to keep men from making unwarranted comments towards women (PSA: Women, don’t ever feel like you have to make yourself demure and cutesy in moments like these).

Speaking of demure and cutesy, the girls talk about how originality is dead, how trends have taken over (Brat, Taylor Swift etc). Marie also expresses some strong feelings about another high-earning platform she doesn’t deem original or inspiring. They also discuss how humans can be such herd animals in how they approach language/speech, clothing/fashion, activities, opinions etc and how sometimes it feels much easier to live with a pack mentality in order to feel accepted in society.

The episode ends with Nadya’s Nomnoms. This week’s rec is a special hotspot that opened this summer in Southampton: Ketchy Beach. From an original concept, to original dishes such as miso charred cabbage to watermelon tataki to dancing the night away on the banquets - this is where you'll want to spend the last weekend of the summer. Plus, don’t forget to check out its sister restaurant in New York City, Ketchy Shuby that's open and bustling with energy all year round!

Thanks for talking!
