Are You a Black Cat or a Golden Retriever?
Have you heard about the latest relationship trend on Tik Tok? Apparently you're either the black cat or the Golden Retriever... but it seems to work best in a hetero relationship when the woman is the black cat.
Brooke and Matty chat about who they think each other is in a relationship and whether these trends are right about all relationships.

Best podcast in Australia
Love the podcast but I wish the episodes would be longer 🙃🌈
Fantastic episode on Palestine
Thanks for giving a platform for diverse voices.
