"Taste the Difference" with Scott J. Bennett - Darn.exe Ep 28
In this episode of the podcast, I got to know funny ass comedian Scott J. Bennett. We talked about how we both started pursuing comedy, why comedy is important to us, what we think is important to have a good act and what the best Sainsbury’s “taste the difference” product really is.
We then go onto the final “Am I the A**hole” Segment where we give online strangers advice about whether they’re a douche or a saint. Few tech difficulties along the way (my apologies), but was still a really nice convo and I thoroughly enjoyed making this one. Thanks again Scott for jumping on.

LAILANA - Darn.exe Ep 27
So on this first video and audio edition of Darn.exe we have a good friend of mine joining us. Singer and song writer Lailana. We talk about a lot of the issues pertaining to new creatives, like image, investment and general goals. We also talk about some of the reasons someone would even want to become a creative and how important support can be in some cases.
You can check out someone of Lailana’s music and videos in these links below

We then go on to debate whether it’s wrong of me to avoid girls who are astrologically minded and if this is justified. Have to say didn’t realise how strongly I felt on this till we got into talking about it O-O.
Before finishing off with the funniest part of the show the “Am I the A**hole” segment. This week we have a friend who is fed up with her besties time management, an ungrateful sister who hates the violin, and a dad who thinks its normal to have multiple partners.
As always thanks for listening and have a beautiful day

"Muslims do what?!" Ramadam special - Darn.exe Ep 26
In this episode of the Darn.exe podcast, I finally got to pick my friend Ari’s brain about all of the nagging questions I’ve had about Islam that I’ve always been too afraid to ask. This episode really granted me perspective and knowledge that id never been exposed to before, especially having been raised so Roman Catholic in my upbringing.
Then we go into some hypotheticals and the good ol “Am I the A**hole” segment where we guilt free judge morons from the internet
This was real fun to record and can’t thank Ari enough

#STOPTHEASIANHATE - Darn.exe Ep 21
In this last year there has been increasing amounts of hate focused toward Asians across the world, as fools in a state of panic look for a group to blame for what is a global crisis that has negatively affected all of us. This has led to an almost 150% increase in Asian hate crimes in the US, yet alone all of the other countries in Europe and across the world where these kinds of racist attacks both verbally and physically have been becoming more prevalent.
These issues have escalated to a point where Asian people’s lives have not only been changed negatively, THEY’VE BEEN LOST PERMANENTLY. And on the 16th of March 2020, Soon Chung Park, age 74, Hyun Jung Grant, age 51, Suncha Kim, age 69, Yong Yue, age 63, Delaina Ashley Yaun, age 33, Paul Andre Michels, age 54, Xiaojie Tan, age 49, and Daoyou Feng, age 44 were all murdered in a HATE CRIME TARGETED AT ASIAN OWNED BUSINESSES. If this isn’t a huge example of the devastating events that ignoring these kinds of issues can create then I don’t know what is.
In this podcast I go through a chronological timeline I’ve made of news articles from the US, UK, Italy and France to show that the growing hate towards Asian was seen and ignored. I also did this to help show people the way that the media is regionalising this issue to put up a smoke screen for what has been a growing GLOBAL phenomenon and downplaying the realities of the racism that has been on the rise for the last year or so. For the most place I think the media has been trash, misleading and shady in how they’ve presented these stories and it’s disgusting
Many thanks to Vania for joining me for this podcast as it would be very rich for me to speak solo on an issue that doesn’t fully affect me, and I really appreciate the perspective and honesty you brought to this episode.
And one last thing #STOPTHEASIANHATE

Devil's Advocates, Can men do more?, British Policing - Darn.exe Ep 19

Then we start talking concept of what men can do to help with women’s issues and if they should stop saying “Not all men” altogether.

Meghan and Harry Vs. The "Press" - Darn.exe Ep 18
In today’s episode I was lucky enough to have long time friend and supportive listener Ann-Marie (as well as smart af law student) join me to discuss the media’s discourse and one-sidedness on the Meghan and Harry interview coverage. Since the conception of their relationship there has been criticisms questioning both their characters and legitimacy. And it’s safe to say these criticisms have not stopped at what wedding dress Meghan “chose” for her big day, they have consistently made racial stereotypes and character assassinations their main means of covering this story. And as we break down some examples of media coverage on this story it is clear to see.
After dismantling this topic like a watch maker, we move on to more fun topic. Like the “Am I the A**hole” segment, which if I have to say so myself hit it out the park with the toxicity this week XD.
Special thanks to Ann, really appreciate you joining me and all the support always honestly.

Getting to know my Mum for Mother's Day - Darn.exe Ep 17
This Mother's Day i thought it was only appropriate to sit down and have my Mum as the special guest for this episode.
I asked what questions people have always wanted to ask they're own mother, but either never had the chance or the balls to ask. In this pod I've asked my Mum these burning questions on your behalf, and i have to say the amount of perspective I gained from this one conversation will stick with me my whole life.
I would recommend to anyone out there, speak to your Mums, ask your mums questions, laugh, cry, converse, and it will only help strengthen your relationship.
Happy Mothers Day Mum, love you to bits

The Halo Collective - Darn.exe Ep 9
The Halo Collective is and organisation that aims to champion a new code for employers, so that they proactively take a stand to ensure that no member of their community faces barriers or judgments because of their Afro-textured hair.
This is a key talking point for many Black employees, battling workplace dress codes - official or unofficial - is part of everyday life. People are forced to choose between a potential career on the one hand, and our cultural identity and hair health on the other.
I was lucky enough to talk to a close friend of mine Stephanie, who also happens to be a member of the group who created and have been pushing this influential campaign
