Relationship Status Podcast

Hosts: Yusuf & Vanetta This week on the Relationship Status Podcast, Yousef recaps his appearance on the Very Necessary Podcast and dives deep into a spirited Valentine’s Day debate that turned into a bigger conversation about expectations, effort, comparison, and communication in relationships. Do men really care about Valentine’s Day — or do they just care that their partner cares? The crew unpacks whether the holiday is truly “for women,” if men secretly want gifts too, and why some people feel like they’re in the doghouse if they don’t show up the “right” way on February 14th. The conversation gets real when they tackle: Is it about money… or is it about thought? Can creativity beat a five-star dinner? Are cliche gifts lazy — or just misunderstood? When does a high standard become comparison? Is “comparison the thief of joy” in dating after a great past relationship? Should a father set the romantic standard for his daughter’s future partners? Do expectations build love — or break it? From orchestra-by-candlelight date ideas to homemade cards, from social media aesthetics to real-life effort, this episode challenges listeners to examine whether they’re appreciating what’s being given — or measuring it against what once was. And the big question: Are you truly being loved… or are you waiting for someone to recreate a love you already experienced? Tap in for laughs, honesty, accountability, and a whole lot of perspective.

In this episode, we dive deep into the realities of government aid, voting, and societal systems, uncovering how policies historically set up certain communities to fail—and why understanding these systems is crucial for everyone.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, Vanetta & Yusuf In this episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, V Live and Yusuf ask the question nobody seems to ask men: Are you even happy, bruh? Society loves to preach “happy wife, happy life,” but where does that leave husbands, boyfriends, and partners? Apparently somewhere between paying bills, ignoring red flags, and being told they don’t deserve privacy because, well… “love.” V and Yusuf keep it all the way real as they break down why men’s happiness is rarely prioritized—especially Black men’s—and why so many end up stuck in relationships that look good on Instagram but feel miserable in real life. They debate whether it’s okay to admit other people are attractive, why checking your partner’s phone is a walking red flag , and how “safe flirting” might just save your relationship (or start a new argument). Plus, V drops a jaw-dropping personal story about choosing peace and happiness over six bedrooms, designer bags, and luxury cars. Spoiler alert: a Gucci purse can’t cuddle you at night. With plenty of laughs, playful shots fired, and a few gems that might just shift your perspective, this episode is a reminder that love should be about connection—not keeping score, not control, and definitely not just financial security. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe ask your man if he’s happy for once. He might surprise you.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf In this spicy and slightly messy episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf and Fraronda unpack a letter from a listener who’s got way more than just marital drama.....think emotional cheating, overbearing in-laws, and a 19-year-old co-worker who apparently gives out hugs with a little too much eye contact. Is emotional cheating still cheating? Did she actually sleep with the dude? And why are her parents living in the house, running the marriage like it’s their own reality show? Yusuf's ready to call in Judge Judy, while Fraronda’s all about therapy and deep convos — if the couple can ever get five minutes alone without Mom and Dad chiming in from the other room. The hosts don’t hold back as they debate emotional boundaries, romantic rebounds, and whether "almost cheating" is just cheating with extra steps. Throw in some hilarious listener advice (shoutout to Aunt Pat, who’s ready to hand over the house and dip) and you've got a wild ride through the world of love, mistakes, and parents who don’t know when to butt out.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, Khori, & Yusuf Yusuf and Fraronda are back with another episode packed with real talk, deep feels, and just enough laughs to keep you from ugly crying (well, maybe). Inspired by a poem that basically says “we’re all just five bucks away from asking for fries,” they get into how life can flip on a dime — and how mental health, bad days, and tough choices sneak up on everyone. They break down the movie Straw (spoiler: it’s heavy), but don’t worry, they sprinkle in some jokes about being totally done with school drama and daycare nonsense. Then they jump into The Pursuit of Happyness, because who doesn’t love a dad trying to keep his kid safe while living like it’s an episode of Survivor? Bonus points for the heartbreaking lipstick moment that got them all choked up. If you thought this was just a serious vibe, nah — these two keep it real with some hilarious “what I would’ve done” moments (spoiler: probably more yelling and a lot less patience). And heads up — next episode they’re diving into Forever, so buckle up for more feels, laughs, and probably some more weird analogies.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, Khori, & Yusuf Imagine this: Your partner’s best friend starts acting like they’re auditioning for a rom-com... and you’re stuck playing the jealous, confused sidekick. Yeah, it’s THAT kind of episode. On this week’s Relationship Status, we dive headfirst into the wild world of “Who’s crossing the line?” and “How many hugs did I NOT get as a kid?” We break down the unspoken “male best friend goes missing” rule (yep, it’s a thing), and why sometimes the best way to handle your feelings is... therapy. Because, let’s be honest, $80 a week to unpack all your emotional baggage? Sounds cheaper than a breakup! Plus, we get real about love languages, awkward childhood love deficits (hug anyone?), and why showing feelings feels like trying to do cardio when you’d rather nap. Spoiler alert: Everyone needs therapy. Yes, even you. So buckle up for some hilarious truths, awkward confessions, and a whole lot of “OMG, same!” moments.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf In this heartfelt and humorous episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf and Faronda dive deep into the complexities of modern relationships—romantic, platonic, and everything in between. From navigating the evolving dynamics of co-parenting and closure to wrestling with the innocence we lose as adults, they explore how missed opportunities and fear of vulnerability can cost us meaningful connections. The duo unpacks how childhood simplicity once made relationships more honest and questions how adulthood often complicates that clarity. They also discuss emotional responsibility, navigating uncomfortable truths, and the challenge of realigning relationships when expectations don’t meet reality. And in true RSP fashion, the episode is peppered with laughter, accountability (yes, hot dogs were involved), and a blooper-worthy struggle to remember the “Question of the Week.” This week’s question: Your partner never posts you, but always posts food, pets, and shoes—red flag or no big deal?
