how to reach enlightenment in a recession (teaser)
Trump’s tariffs tanked the economy. AI is coming for your job. Capitalism is coughing blood. So we did the only logical thing: gave up and started painting.

the case for cheating back (full episode)
👉 Enjoyed this episode? There’s way more unfiltered, unhinged, and uncensored content on Patreon . Come suffer with us: patreon.com/bobosvoid Follow us on Instagram/TikTok @bobos.void Email us love letters (or hate mail): bobosvoidpod@gmail.com Episode Summary: This week, we’re diving into one of humanity’s most time-honored traditions: cheating. Inspired by White Lotus Season 2 (aka HBO’s sun-drenched study in rich people being horny and morally bankrupt), we ask: Why do people cheat? Is it unresolved childhood trauma? Is monogamy just a doomed social experiment? Or are we all just over-intellectualized apes in Zara button-downs? But maybe the darker question is: why do people stay after they’ve been cheated on? Is it resilience… or just fear of dying alone with 16 tabs of Pornhub open and no one to split the Wi-Fi bill with? We talk divorce shame, dating app dread, and whether “fighting for love” is noble—or just a well-marketed denial spiral. Let us know if this one triggered you. (It triggered us.)

Or worse, no text at all. Welcome to the era of canceled plans, where ‘yes’ doesn’t mean yes, ‘maybe’ rarely leads to ‘I’m in,’ and commitment is apparently a burden that no one owes to anyone? But why? Why are we so quick to bail on each other? Is it because we’re all secretly drowning in social anxiety? Is it because everyone feels so unimportant that canceling is nbd? Is it because ur therapist convinced u to cancel plans to "protect ur peace"? Or is it something deeper: A symptom of a culture that’s lost its sense of obligation, where relationships feel more disposable than ever? are u plan canceler or are u a good person? lmao let us know in the comments down below!

love is humble
new episodeeeee :) in this episode, i expand on the idea of healthy love being boring, and by extension, the idea that a healthy life is a humble and simple life. not one marked by extravagance or excellence. just one that is characterized by banal simplicities and the ability to be content with the the ordinary. i hope u enjoy my ramblings ! please share with me your thoughts on what healthy love and more importantly, what a healthy LIFE is :) TO LISTEN TO THE REST OF THE EPISODE, SUBSCRIBE TO MY PATREON: www.patreon.com/bobosvoid SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST https://open.spotify.com/show/4JaUYskqSSD3dXXngWbgwx?si=ao_M9xMdTPu-fZiK341UbA KEEP UP WITH ME https://www.instagram.com/bobo.matjila/ https://twitter.com/BoboMatjila

an honest conversation about suicide
whew, im back! with one of my favourite recorded episodes so far. we talk about death, suicide and the idea of legacy/success. We discuss albert camus' assertion that there is only one serious philosophical question: which is suicide. we analyze what it really means to die, if suicide is ever justifiable, the death trap of success/capitalism and the light at the end of the tunnel of depression. enjoy!!
