"Guylemmas" #21 - Preparing for a First Date
Well well well, guess who's back?! (Yes we do apologise but our content catalogue is running thin so don't forget to respond to our poll on this episode)
Yes we have been away for a short while and if you're wondering why its been so long just listen to the episode and all will be explained. But back to reality and we are back to talk to you all about how we, as two regular guys, prepare for a first date and the thought process and planning that goes into preparing for that first date to end all first dates. Just to clarify this does not overlap but rather preludes our previous episode on first dates ("Guylemmas #2) so feel free to go back and listen to that episode after this one!

"Guylemmas" #20 - Girls Annoy Guys
It's time for honesty! There are a lot of things girls do that really get on guys' nerves. So, we made a list of them just for you. Lads, prepare for big relatable moments. Ladies, pay attention and get in touch telling us if you agree or disagree and tell us why. This one is a bit of a crazy episode with both Ajit and Nikeen lacking sleep. We hope you enjoy it nonetheless as the boys give insight into small or sometimes big things that women do which can really get us men riled up.

If you are spending it alone then don't worry, we do sh*t on the big day, explain how it's no different to any other day and how you kings and queens should keep your heads up

Happy new year to one and all!!
This episode was recorded at the end of last year but due to technical issues we've just uploaded it now so welcome to our first episode of 2022 and boy is it a good one!
That's right we are back with part 2 of us taking Asian Stigmas and breaking them down! The nightmares have returned but don't worry Uncle Ajit and Nikeen are here to guide you through it, and show you that at their cores these Asian Stigmas aren't scary at all!

On Our Wavelength #4 - The July Catch Up
Welcome back!! Before you start wondering; no the friendship hasn't split up and no the podcast hasn't ended (good news, we know). This month of July has been a busy one for both Ajit and Nikeen, with Ajit returning to full time at work and Nikeen finishing up his studies at university.
So we decided to let you, the lovely audience, behind the curtain and listen in to what one of our many chats entails. In this catch up we discuss the goings on of the past month from the Euros to almost a new segment of "Ajit's weekly movie viewing". We also have an interesting idea to let one of you, the audience, join us to record an episode so keep your eyes peeled on our social media for that opportunity. Without further ado, grab a cold drink, have a seat in the sun and kick your feet up while giving this episode a listen!

"Guylemmas" #13 - Interracial Dating
This week the boys are back with a bang (haha we wish) to discuss interracial dating. It's something that we see but rarely gets discussed. There's a lot of challenges related to interracial dating so we get down to the nitty-gritty and discuss them. With both of us fully supporting interracial dating, we take time to remind you what you need to do before you start dating interracially (or just generally for that matter).

"Guylemmas" #10 - An Interview with...Us!
The boys are back with something a little bit different this week! It only took us 10 episodes to do an introduction episode but Ajit and Nikeen delve into the minds of each other a bit more as they ask each other the "20 questions to get to know people". In the spirit of being open with each other with the responses we decided to open some spirits/beer and get some down us so prepare to hear some lairy and very open, honest answers. As usual we don't do things quickly (to ensure your listening pleasure) so we only managed to get through 10 of them so keep your eyes peeled for part 2!
**Warning: You may need to turn your headphones down a bit for a few seconds after the intro soundtrack**

"Guylemmas" #9 - Having Female Friends
"We don't give a flying f**k!"
In this episode Ajit and Nikeen discuss the various aspects of having female friends and their views on them (while tipsy/mildly drunk). There's a lot to break down from the importance of these relationships to where to set the boundaries so grab a drink and enjoy because the boys certainly don't hold back in some parts! You might want to file this episode under E+ for "Explicit". Enjoy!

"Guylemmas" #8 - Mental Health Awareness
In light of Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 (10th-16th May) Ajit and Nikeen sat down and had a candid talk about Mental Health Awareness and the stigmas associated with it. They picked 5 of the more known about Mental Health disorders and broke them down. This is very different to the usual Guylemmas episodes but we felt it needed to be talked about and this week has given us the perfect opportunity to open up and talk about it and our experiences. We hope that you find it as insightful and informative as us.

"Guylemmas" #7.5 - The Ick List (Part 2)
The boys are back!! In this episode Ajit and Nikeen are continuing with the infamous "Ick List". We explore the idiotic things that have given people "The Ick" and give our views on whether we agree with them or not. We warn you now these "Icks" are juicier and more trigger-inducing for poor Nikeen (let us pray his blood pressure went down after this episode before he went back to his coursework).

"Guylemmas" #7 - The Ick List
The boys are back with a cracking episode for you this week. We've taken a little break from the serious topics to talk about, "The Ick", what it means to us and what gives people "The Ick". This weeks format follows more of a Q&A style so take a seat, relax and get some extra stitches because your sides will be splitting harder than ever for this one and prepare to listen to Nikeen get more triggered than an Asian parent finding out their child got the second highest mark in the class.

"Guylemmas" #6 - Communication
Let's Talk! This week we're tackling communication. What makes communication good or bad? When and why does it matter? Should you consider how you communicate a little more? We discuss all of this and more. It's a slightly more lengthy than usual episode so grab a cup of tea and put your feet up as we keep to our usual policy of veering off-topic regularly, adding some personal stories and laughing throughout. We hope you enjoy listening!

"Guylemmas" #5 - Love Languages
A new and interesting topic for Ajit and Nikeen this week as they venture into the world of love languages. Learn more as we give you the tools to find out which of the five love languages speak to you the most, how each of them is achieved and how some of them can be dangerous if used in the wrong way. As usual, expect some off-topic discussion and some personal stories. This week there's a fair bit of adult humour, you have been warned.
This episode has a "spoilers" section which we would recommend listening to after you have completed the love languages quiz yourself. It's clearly signposted during the show.

We go all-in on what to expect for newcomers to the gym and how to behave while in the gym environment. It's a long one, but a good one!

"Guylemmas" #3 - Procrastination
A problem we all face daily: procrastination. It's easy to identify when you are doing it, but sometimes so difficult to stop doing it. This week, Ajit and Nikeen explore what procrastination means to them and how it can be very different from person to person. They give a few solutions to help reduce how much you might be procrastinating and impart some of the usual wisdom which neither of them actually have.

"Guylemmas" #1 - Talking Stages
We're kicking off our new side-series "Guylemmas". Get it, its a pun of dilemma.
Our first episode for this series is the infamous talking stage. With the pandemic limiting what people can do outside, more and more people have turned to online messaging and dating applications for social interaction and in the hopes of finding love (or other activities...). So we took a deep dive into the different possibilities of a talking stage from sending the first message to ghosting that person you really don't want to talk to anymore and anything that comes in between.
Join us as we share personal experiences of talking to people in lockdown, some that went right and more that went wrong.
On Our Wavelength #1 - Pirates, Lost Legacies, Real-life Tinder and WandaVision
