·1 hr 8 min·5 clips
Loons argues that if your primary school friend hasn't called you in three weeks, your friendship isn't what you think.
This episode is part two of a conversation with guest Loons from No Behaviour Pod. The hosts DT and Uzama engage in a free-flowing discussion that begins with a hypothetical about borrowing a friend's expensive watch and whether you should pay for it if lost. Loons argues that if a friend doesn't contact you for weeks after the incident, it shows the friendship isn't genuine. The talk shifts to relationships and money, exploring why some women are attracted to men displaying luxury items like Rolexes and Lamborghinis. Loons shares a personal anecdote about dating a girl who expected expensive outings after seeing his car. They discuss financial transparency in couples, including joint accounts and hiding purchases. Loons reveals he once paid over five thousand pounds for a girl's ACCA degree and bought land for someone, though he clarifies the land was for his queen. The conversation turns serious as Loons warns about the lure of street life, calling it a trap because you only see the glamorous end product. He connects this to the cost-of-living crisis pushing young people into risky behavior. A segment on TV licensing sees DT explain that the BBC can't run ads because it would undermine the ad revenue for channels like ITV and Channel 5. The episode wraps with lighthearted topics: Loons lists his top five UK rappers, including M1llionz and Fredo, and shares a trivia fact that gold originates from space via asteroid impacts. Throughout, the tone is casual and conversational, with banter between the hosts and guest.
