Imagining an internet without TikTok feels inconceivable for many.

As the U.S government’s ultimatum to the Chinese owned platform draws closer, The Antoinettes dance their way through the highs, lows and weird pivots in the journey to ban TikTok. Are there valid security concerns or just questionable moral panics about the social behemoth?

One Antoinette goes into bat for influencers and the other is worried about free speech and political influence.

Persisting isn’t always healthy or beneficial so what are the signs that it's time to quit?

One Antoinette gets real about her social media addiction and the other wants to quit caring.

The Antoinetes explore the science of stopping -- whether it’s calling time on a job, drinking, vaping or even a friendship.

Don’t expect inspiring quotes and feel good affirmations, this episode is loaded with realism and laughter as bad habits, complacency and fear of the unknown is traversed.

Who gets to decide what is considered brave? And how do you determine which rules are worth breaking?

Senator Fatima Payman is being lauded a hero for crossing the floor by her supporters, and a bad team player by others. Similarly Julian Assange is a free speech icon for some, and a reckless criminal according to his critics.

History is littered with examples of people who changed trajectories by saying F you to rule based order of the day. Applauded by their fans, vilified by the media – so who gets to decide who wears a cape?

The Antoinettes hash out bravery as they see it, and when breaking rules and starting a fire is more destructive than its worth.
