Hosts: Mandii B & WeezyWTF
Release Date: January 26, 2026
Theme: Exploring non-traditional relationships, dating standards, miscommunication, and the realities of modern love
Overview
In this solo(ish) episode, Mandii B and WeezyWTF dig deep into the nuances of "tackiness" in dating, examining modern relationship expectations, self-sabotage, and the essential role of honest communication. With a signature blend of humor, transparency, and spicy commentary, the hosts discuss juicy listener stories, personal dating conundrums, and the emotional rollercoaster of navigating non-monogamy — all while calling out bad behavior on both sides of the gender divide.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Turks Trip Drama: When Expectations Become “Tacky”
- The Situation: Weezy recaps a controversy involving her friend, who clashed with a man over who should book a flight for an island trip they planned together.
- Listener Engagement: The friend's reaction to podcast comments revealed the emotional depth and public scrutiny dating decisions can attract.
- Quote:
- “I just feel like...because you happy in your relationship, you can't see what it's like to be courted right now.” — Weezy’s friend (04:01)
- “Man or woman getting rid of a situation because you didn't get 100% of what you want is straight up self-sabotage. Nobody gets 100% of what they want.” — (04:17)
Breakdown:
- The friend’s approach (pressuring for the flight and later apologizing) was seen by her date as a test, and he found the behavior "tacky."
- Context: The friend is used to dating high-status men through her career (MSG), possibly leading to outsized expectations.
- Mandii B’s Hot Take:
- “I would rather be called a slut-ass hoe than a tacky bitch. ...If a man calls you tacky, that's like BOP.” (07:42)
- The hosts agree the issue is not just standards, but how poorly and aggressively those standards were communicated.

2. Self-Sabotage vs Realistic Expectations
- The hosts examine the tension between high standards and sabotaging potential good relationships.
- Mandii B: “A lot of you bitches ain't shit. ...And you're not fun to date.” (13:55)
- Both agree women can also be to blame for failed connections, especially when communication is poor or inflexible.
3. Communication Breakdown
- The story revealed both parties were unclear and made assumptions about trip logistics (timing, who books what).
- Mandii B: “She lacks communication. She assumed things, and she damn near threw a fit over $380 like a broke bitch.” (16:47)
- The group discusses the importance of expressing desires and not testing partners in passive-aggressive ways.
4. Notable Listener Story: Secret Engagement
- Mandii B's story: A friend hooked up with an ex, only to discover he’d proposed to another woman on the same trip and kept it secret.
- Mandii: “He proposed to a whole bitch while he was keeping you up to date with his fucking trip.” (24:35)
- Emotional impact: The friend briefly felt she missed her “shot,” but later realized the ex’s dishonesty would have made him a terrible partner regardless.
- WeezyWTF: “I think what's most hurtful...is knowing that to watch someone get engaged to somebody else while you would spend...” (26:54)
5. Who Do Men Marry?
- IG Takeaway: Men don’t marry the love of their lives, they marry the woman who’s there when they're ready (27:30–29:33; summarized from Taylor Conroy).
- Weezy's Reflection: “I always checked in with my man, like, are you sure? ...Because I want to make sure that I am with the person I'm meant to be with.” (29:33)
- Discussion: Men marry when ready, not necessarily due to any one special partner. Women, by contrast, may be more influenced by love than timing.
6. Mandii’s Non-Monogamy Dilemma
- Mandii opens up about considering breaking up with her boyfriend due to his sexual priorities and lack of life stability.
- Quote:
- “I'm not even gonna say what I was about to say ‘cause I'm gonna say it off air, but the priorities just aren't there either.” (44:27)
- Detail:
- Her boyfriend flies to see/fuck various women (and couples) every weekend, some of whom he barely knows or doesn’t even like.
- Mandii is bothered not just by the promiscuity, but by the lack of communication, questionable priorities, and his readiness to spend money on sex versus improving his actual life setup.
7. Breaking Up for Petty Reasons
- The crew swap stories about surprising or “petty” reasons for ending relationships.
- Examples:
- Dirty feet in a nude photo (51:24)
- Wrong flowers (52:23)
- A partner calling protesting “a waste of time” (53:19)
- Weezy: “I had a [guy] told me protesting was a waste of time… and I was like, I'm good.” (53:19)
