Welcome back to Relationship Status with your host, Yousef, joined by the always-insightful Georgia Miller! In this episode, we dive deep into the realities of government aid, voting, and societal systems, uncovering how policies historically set up certain communities to fail—and why understanding these systems is crucial for everyone. Georgia breaks down the history of welfare in the U.S., highlighting how it was originally designed to benefit white families while creating barriers for Black families. We explore the challenges of navigating government assistance, the intricacies of child support, and the critical role of local elections in shaping policy.
The conversation then transitions into relationships, love, and growth. Yousef and Georgia discuss what it means to be the “right partner” and the impact of effort dynamics in relationships. From understanding change partners versus acceptance partners to supporting each other’s goals, this episode is packed with practical insights and honest takes. They also react to thought-provoking clips on what makes a woman truly “multiply” her partner, emphasizing the importance of mutual growth, peace, and realistic expectations in relationships.
Whether you’re navigating government systems, reflecting on personal growth, or learning how to cultivate healthier relationships, this episode is full of eye-opening perspectives and actionable advice. Don’t miss it!

Hosts: Yusuf & Vanetta
In this hilarious and thought-provoking episode of Relationship Status, Yusuf is joined by the always-unfiltered Niana Renee for a wild ride through the complexities of modern relationships.
The duo kicks things off with the Question of the Week: “What toxic advice would you give your younger self?” — and things get spicy fast. From setting grandma’s yard on fire to declaring “these hoes ain’t loyal,” nothing is off-limits.
Yusuf and Niana dive deep into what loyalty really means, whether cheating is just a “renegotiation of terms,” and how “Do Not Disturb” settings have become the new relationship battlefield. The two also tackle love bombing, walls in dating, and the fine line between privacy and secrecy in relationships.
And just when you think it can’t get any wilder — they end with an unfiltered (and hilarious) debate.
Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a few uncomfortable truths — only on Relationship Status Podcast.

In this episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, V Live and Yusuf ask the question nobody seems to ask men: Are you even happy, bruh? Society loves to preach “happy wife, happy life,” but where does that leave husbands, boyfriends, and partners? Apparently somewhere between paying bills, ignoring red flags, and being told they don’t deserve privacy because, well… “love.”
V and Yusuf keep it all the way real as they break down why men’s happiness is rarely prioritized—especially Black men’s—and why so many end up stuck in relationships that look good on Instagram but feel miserable in real life. They debate whether it’s okay to admit other people are attractive, why checking your partner’s phone is a walking red flag , and how “safe flirting” might just save your relationship (or start a new argument).
Plus, V drops a jaw-dropping personal story about choosing peace and happiness over six bedrooms, designer bags, and luxury cars. Spoiler alert: a Gucci purse can’t cuddle you at night.
With plenty of laughs, playful shots fired, and a few gems that might just shift your perspective, this episode is a reminder that love should be about connection—not keeping score, not control, and definitely not just financial security.
Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe ask your man if he’s happy for once. He might surprise you.

Hold onto your headphones—this episode is pure chaos in the best way possible! Yusuf and Vanetta are joined again by TikTok Influencer Sha (@KayBee312404). They get hilariously real about the trials and tribulations of dating in 2025: from guarding yourself on social media to deciphering if that “super duper nice-looking dude” is genuinely interested or just flirting with everybody. Expect laugh-out-loud stories, awkward dating moments, and honest takes on why sometimes your Amazon delivery guy is the most faithful man in your life.
But it doesn’t stop there...things take a wild turn when the crew decides to set up a real-life dating adventure for Sha! That’s right: they’re calling on listeners to step up, fill out a Google form, and compete for a chance to go on a fully sponsored date with Sha, all while being recorded for posterity (and maximum hilarity). There’s a chaperone, there’s video, there’s humor, and there’s a lot of “what did I just agree to?” energy.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when friendship, love, and podcast antics collide, this episode delivers in spades. Warning: you may laugh, cringe, and immediately want to sign up for Shay’s dating adventure yourself.

Get ready to laugh, relate, and maybe even say, “Yup, same!” in this episode of Relationship Status with Yousef and Vanetta. Vanetta drops truth bombs about dating (or not dating) in her 40s — spoiler alert: she’s not out here swiping right on just anybody, even if there are “too many motherfuckers interested.” She’s got standards, prayer, and a healthy dose of “nah, that ain’t me” vibes.
They also break down the wild world of social media — Snapchat vs. Instagram drama included — because who knew posting memes and ignoring people’s lives could be a full-time job? Plus, Vanetta gets real about how Kevin Samuels’ no-nonsense takes might just be the tough love we all need, even if it stings a little.
If you’re single, dating, or just tired of people telling you to “settle down already,” this episode’s for you. Expect real talk, belly laughs, and a fresh perspective on relationships served with a side of sass. Oh, and don’t forget to follow Vanetta on Insta @vlive_baby — because you definitely want to see what she’s really saying when the mics are off.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf
In this spicy and slightly messy episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf and Fraronda unpack a letter from a listener who’s got way more than just marital drama.....think emotional cheating, overbearing in-laws, and a 19-year-old co-worker who apparently gives out hugs with a little too much eye contact.
Is emotional cheating still cheating? Did she actually sleep with the dude? And why are her parents living in the house, running the marriage like it’s their own reality show?
Yusuf's ready to call in Judge Judy, while Fraronda’s all about therapy and deep convos — if the couple can ever get five minutes alone without Mom and Dad chiming in from the other room. The hosts don’t hold back as they debate emotional boundaries, romantic rebounds, and whether "almost cheating" is just cheating with extra steps.
Throw in some hilarious listener advice (shoutout to Aunt Pat, who’s ready to hand over the house and dip) and you've got a wild ride through the world of love, mistakes, and parents who don’t know when to butt out.

Grab your tissues, and maybe some popcorn, because this episode of Relationship Status Podcast is a wild ride through the chaos of first loves! Yusuf and Fraronda get real about those awkward, messy, and sometimes downright ridiculous moments that come with young relationships. From prom drama (who forgets to return a $300 dress?!) to unprotected poolside adventures that definitely weren’t planned traps, they unpack all the cringe and confusion with plenty of laughs.
Ever felt like you lost yourself in a relationship? Yeah, they’ve been there, abandoning goals, ghosting friends, and adopting weird hobbies just to keep the peace. And don’t worry, Yusuf’s got his classic “man up” takes ready to roast everyone.
So buckle up for honest talks, gaslighting confessions, and some brutally funny insights on what your first love really taught you (besides how to dodge heartbreak). Plus, a sneak peek at Patreon swag, shoutouts that might or might not embarrass some folks, and enough sass to keep you hooked.
Warning: Listening might cause nostalgia, secondhand embarrassment, and sudden urges to text your ex. Tune in!

This week on the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf is joined by Gaylord Fockerer (yes, that Gaylord) break down one of the wildest relationship stories to ever hit the group chat. A woman asks for a “break” to fight temptation, gets dumped, walks into a spider web, quits her job, and is SHOCKED when her man moves on. Girl, is it crack?!
We’re talking:
The difference between a break and a breakup (spoiler: one ends in a gas bill).
Why comparing yourself to Instagram models is hazardous to your healing.
“Rich Zaddy” and the dangers of transactional love.
The horizontal hokey pokey and its lasting consequences.
Spider Gwen, Charlotte’s Web, and how NOT to quit your job.
Plus, we crown some of the most savage listener comments, including the now-iconic: “A wet coochie and an empty purse don’t make no sense.”
And don’t forget: first person to email us where the name Gaylord Focker comes from wins a free t-shirt AND a gas card—because we support good decisions and full tanks.

Yusuf and Fraronda are back with another episode packed with real talk, deep feels, and just enough laughs to keep you from ugly crying (well, maybe). Inspired by a poem that basically says “we’re all just five bucks away from asking for fries,” they get into how life can flip on a dime — and how mental health, bad days, and tough choices sneak up on everyone.
They break down the movie Straw (spoiler: it’s heavy), but don’t worry, they sprinkle in some jokes about being totally done with school drama and daycare nonsense. Then they jump into The Pursuit of Happyness, because who doesn’t love a dad trying to keep his kid safe while living like it’s an episode of Survivor? Bonus points for the heartbreaking lipstick moment that got them all choked up.
If you thought this was just a serious vibe, nah — these two keep it real with some hilarious “what I would’ve done” moments (spoiler: probably more yelling and a lot less patience). And heads up — next episode they’re diving into Forever, so buckle up for more feels, laughs, and probably some more weird analogies.
So grab your favorite drink (fries optional) and join Yusuf and Fraronda for the kind of chat that makes you think, cry, and laugh all at once.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, Khori, & Yusuf
Imagine this: Your partner’s best friend starts acting like they’re auditioning for a rom-com... and you’re stuck playing the jealous, confused sidekick. Yeah, it’s THAT kind of episode. On this week’s Relationship Status, we dive headfirst into the wild world of “Who’s crossing the line?” and “How many hugs did I NOT get as a kid?”
We break down the unspoken “male best friend goes missing” rule (yep, it’s a thing), and why sometimes the best way to handle your feelings is... therapy. Because, let’s be honest, $80 a week to unpack all your emotional baggage? Sounds cheaper than a breakup!
Plus, we get real about love languages, awkward childhood love deficits (hug anyone?), and why showing feelings feels like trying to do cardio when you’d rather nap. Spoiler alert: Everyone needs therapy. Yes, even you.
So buckle up for some hilarious truths, awkward confessions, and a whole lot of “OMG, same!” moments. If your relationship ever made you say, “Wait, what just happened?” — this episode is your new best friend.
Popcorn recommended. Side-eyes from your partner optional.
Tune in for the laughs, stay for the insight.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf
Guest: Khori Syn
Y’all ready for some realness? In this episode of Relationship Status, your boy Yusuf chats it up with the one and only Khori Syn — a writer, dancer, and all-around mystery wrapped in 18 different personalities. They get into everything from social media habits (“You don’t post? No, you don’t!”), to juggling multiple alter egos (wait till you hear about Raylene, Carol, and Brother Lewis), and the messy, hilarious, sometimes messy realities of relationships today.
Khori keeps it , saying things like, “I feel like being… who do I feel like being today?” while Yusuf’s just trying to keep up. If you love deep convos sprinkled with laughs, awkward moments, and that “who even is Khori Syn?” energy, this episode’s got you covered. Whether you’re into relationship drama, social media tea, or just want to vibe with some real talk — hit play and enjoy!

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf
In this heartfelt and humorous episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf and Faronda dive deep into the complexities of modern relationships—romantic, platonic, and everything in between. From navigating the evolving dynamics of co-parenting and closure to wrestling with the innocence we lose as adults, they explore how missed opportunities and fear of vulnerability can cost us meaningful connections. The duo unpacks how childhood simplicity once made relationships more honest and questions how adulthood often complicates that clarity.
They also discuss emotional responsibility, navigating uncomfortable truths, and the challenge of realigning relationships when expectations don’t meet reality. And in true RSP fashion, the episode is peppered with laughter, accountability (yes, hot dogs were involved), and a blooper-worthy struggle to remember the “Question of the Week.”
This week’s question: Your partner never posts you, but always posts food, pets, and shoes—red flag or no big deal?

In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, hosts Yusuf and Fraronda dive deep into the often-blurred lines between love, lust, and emotional safety. From deciphering the real intentions behind DMs to discussing how past traumas shape our approach to vulnerability, they explore what it means to "lean in" versus "chase" in modern relationships. The duo unpacks the importance of emotional discernment, how both men and women carry walls into new connections, and why mutual safety is essential for true intimacy. With real talk, laughter, and a few live reactions to dating app antics, this episode invites listeners to reflect on whether they’ve ever pushed away someone who genuinely leaned in. They also get into an advice letter from a husband who is at hos whits end! Tune in, share your thoughts, and join the ongoing conversation about building relationships that are both safe and soulful.
Question of the Week: Have you ever pushed away someone who leaned into loving you? Why?

Recorded live at The Up On The Roof Restaurant — thank you for hosting us!
In this episode, the crew dives deep into the realities of change, balance, and emotional growth in relationships. They explore how childhood experiences shape adult behavior, the challenges of balancing work and love, and the importance of building a strong "trust bank" with your partner.

The conversation gets real as personal experiences, hard truths, and a few laughs are shared. Plus, the team tackles whether it's fair to use your past as a crutch in current relationships — and what it really means to show up for the people you love.
You won't want to miss the heartfelt advice, a few spicy moments, and a surprising takeaway about keeping your job to keep your relationship strong!
