Episode Overview

This episode dives into the complexities of friendship and romantic relationships—the messiness, the healing, and all the petty (and not-so-petty) moments in between. Hosts Mandii B and WeezyWTF welcome social media influencers Chy and Winter from Behind the Likes to compare notes on breakups, emotional reactions, supporting friends through turbulence, and navigating friendship-business combos without losing their minds.

b) Petty Post-Breakup Stories (20:26–26:08)

• Winter shares a personal anecdote about a friend who “looked down on me” post-breakup, highlighting how money and status can shift female friendships.

  “I can’t sit here and see my friend experiencing that. Sometimes friends just want the ring so bad.”
  (40:41)

6. Accountability & The Minefield of Sharing Too Much (46:01–51:52)

• The group discusses whether (and when) to tell friends every detail about toxic relationships or to hold back to preserve peace.

  “Your friendships can’t forgive as quickly as you can… I’m not about to tell you every single thing.”
  (47:08)

• Winter and Weezy both note the limits of support, especially when friends repeatedly cycle in and out of toxic relationships:

  “I want to be the person who’s like, I’m going to be here for you, whatever decision you decide.”
  —Winter (50:53)

7. How Friendship & Business Collide (60:00–70:21)

• Winter and Chy get candid about repairing their own podcast partnership after near breakups, citing issues like communication breakdowns, holding onto old arguments, and bringing up past grievances instead of focusing on the now.
• They stress the importance of dealing with issues head-on, understanding that friendship arguments don’t have to mean the end, and learning to accept different communication and processing styles.

Quote:

“If I hurt her feelings… I could be like, okay, you’re right, I’m not gonna do it again, let’s move forward. I want to move forward.”
—Winter (62:16)

Each host and guest brings a unique perspective—sometimes clashing, sometimes harmonizing, but always keeping it real about modern relationships and the power (and chaos) of female friendship. The key lesson? Growth comes from honesty, accountability, and the willingness to laugh—even when things get super petty. And sometimes, you heal by admitting how much you’ve really crashed out.
