Description

Join Tanieka Romona and Mischa Rivers on Fridays as they laugh and moan through the finite chaos of their existence, and cackle at the madness that people get up to.


After years of growing up self-assured in what they wanted from their lives, at twenty-five these two accepted that almost nothing goes as planned. Coming from similar backgrounds and means, they've ended up in quite different places at this point in their lives. With the realization that they know nothing and that life is absolute chaotic insanity, they pretty much stopped being surprised by it all and just remain overwhelmingly confused.
