"Men Don't Need Much", & Other Lies

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign are joined by special guest Queen Sovereign for a direct and unfiltered conversation about the fragile male ego and the ways it shapes men’s behavior, relationships, and reactions to women’s autonomy. Together, they examine how ego, entitlement, and insecurity often drive harm, control, and disrespect toward women, and why those patterns are so rarely challenged. But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign break down a chaotic news cycle, including Nicki Minaj’s public MAGA pivot and comments involving J.D. Vance, a disturbing case involving boys sharing AI generated nude images of a 13 year old girl with no consequences, and the internet’s response to both Jake Paul and Andrew Tate taking public losses. Later, in another round of "This You?", the hosts unpack a Reddit post about a husband who gave away his wife’s expensive sake without asking, and what it reveals about male entitlement and disregard for women’s boundaries.   🎧 This episode takes a clear eyed look at male ego, power, and validation, and how women are expected to manage the emotional fallout.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The fragile male ego and emotional insecurity Male entitlement and boundary violations How patriarchy operates through fear and control Loneliness and validation seeking in men Decentering men and reclaiming women’s autonomy Setting boundaries with emotionally immature men   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Nicki Minaj praises JD Vance as “assassin” as Erika Kirk sits next to her https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nicki-minaj-praises-jd-vance-assassin-erika-kirk-sits-rcna250476 How Nicki Minaj went from Trump critic to the president’s biggest fan https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/22/entertainment/nicki-minaj-donald-trump-fan Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty sentenced for failing to register as sex offender in Los Angeles https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/nicki-minajs-husband-kenneth-petty-sentencing-sex-offender-registration-los-angeles/ Boys at her school shared AI generated nude images of her.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign take on one of the most persistent myths men love to repeat: that they are simple, low maintenance, and easy to please, and that women are the ones who make life complicated. Together, they unpack how this narrative functions as a form of gaslighting that shifts responsibility, emotional labor, and accountability onto women. But first, in Tea Time, they discuss the tragic passing connected to Rob and Michele Reiner and what it reveals about male mental health, a new UK curriculum aimed at teaching boys to respect women, a viral TikTok of a man spiraling over his wife doing his laundry “wrong,” and a disturbing story of a man abandoning his girlfriend during a mugging. In the Mailbag, they answer a listener question about navigating relationships with misogynistic family members you still love.   🎧 This episode breaks down the illusion of male simplicity, how “low maintenance” often masks emotional immaturity, and why women are expected to absorb the fallout.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The myth of men being low maintenance and emotionally simple How emotional labor and household management fall on women Male emotional regulation and its impact on relationships The fear of male aggression and how it shapes women’s behavior Why women are increasingly rethinking marriage and partnership Loving sexist or emotionally immature men and setting boundaries   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Rob and Michele Reiner’s son ‘responsible’ for their deaths, police say https://www.cnn.com/entertainment/live-news/homicide-detectives-investigating-at-address-connected-with-hollywood-director-rob-reiner Boys to be taught to respect women and girls as part of curriculum https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/boys-taught-respect-women-girls-curriculum-xbzfq98xm Survey: Almost half of American men have online betting accounts https://www.sbu.edu/athletics/2025/02/18/survey-almost-half-of-american-men-have-online-betting-accounts Study finds the majority of OnlyFans subscribers are married men https://www.audacy.com/987thespot/latest/study-finds-majority-of-onlyfans-subscribers-are-married-men The orgasm gap and why women climax less than men https://theconversation.com/the-orgasm-gap-and-why-women-climax-less-than-men-208614 Universe 25 Experiment (Rat Utopia) https://www.the-scientist.com/universe-25-experiment-69941 Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall https://a.co/d/7lGx3Ot   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: All Her Fault on Peacock https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31314751/?ref_=fn_t_1 Check Out Lisa’s Free Blog About This Episode https://www.patreon.com/collection/960341   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign sit down with special guest Mel Hamlett to explore what it really looks like for women to survive and succeed in male-dominated fields. Mel shares the highs, lows, and hard-won lessons from her adventurous career, revealing the unspoken rules, power dynamics, and emotional labor women are expected to navigate. But first, in Tea Time, they break down a new poll showing teen girls are losing interest in marriage, why older women are becoming first-time moms at higher rates than teenagers, a woman confronting a man who left hateful comments on her page, and Costco suing the Trump administration over tariffs. Later, they play another round of “Therapy Or The Void” featuring the characters from Shrek as voted on by our Patreon members!   🎧 This episode sheds light on the biases women face in workplaces ruled by men, the danger of male group dynamics, and the strength required to carve out autonomy in career spaces designed without women in mind.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: What women actually face inside male-dominated workplaces Why emotional labor always falls on women How male group dynamics fuel toxic behavior Lessons Mel learned from outdoor and adventure industries The importance of self-reliance and boundaries in unsafe environments Why many women are rethinking marriage, motherhood, and traditional paths   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: 12th grade girls are less likely than boys to say they want to get married someday https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/11/14/12th-grade-girls-are-less-likely-than-boys-to-say-they-want-to-get-married-someday/ More older women becoming first-time moms amid U.S. fertility rate declines https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/us-fertility-rates-down-teens-women-40-first-time-moms-rcna196809 Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/costco-sues-trump-tariff-refunds-rcna246860 Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a27259689/toxic-masculinity-male-friendships-emotional-labor-men-rely-on-women/ Man Allegedly Seen Leaving His Girlfriend to Freeze to Death on Austria's Highest Mountain in Webcam Footage https://people.com/man-allegedly-seen-leaving-girlfriend-to-freeze-to-death-on-mountain-11863639   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Follow Mel Hamlett! https://linktr.ee/MelanieHamlett Check Out Lisa’s Free Blog About This Episode https://www.patreon.com/collection/960341   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign explore what it looks like for women to decenter men in everyday life and relationships. Decentering men is not a single action but a result of prioritizing women's autonomy and needs while deconstructing patriarchal norms. This episode breaks down practical steps, mindset shifts, and the empowering outcomes of putting yourself first. But first, in Tea Time, they respond to a listener voicemail about women taking their husbands’ last names, discuss the US Border Patrol monitoring drivers and detaining pregnant women seeking reproductive health care, female MAGA influencers facing backlash for feminist stances, and a woman proposing to her boyfriend of 14 years. Later, in Mailbag, they answer a listener question about whether women need to be the ones approaching men romantically.   🎧 This episode examines how women can prioritize themselves, navigate relationships with awareness, and embrace empowerment without guilt.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: What decentering men looks like in practice Why prioritizing women’s needs is essential for empowerment How societal expectations pressure women into traditional roles Surveillance and threats to women’s autonomy Celebrating choices in relationships without losing identity Using self-discovery and boundaries to navigate dating and partnerships   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Border Patrol monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patterns https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-patrol-surveillance-drivers-ice-trump-9f5d05469ce8c629d6fecf32d32098cd Georgia dismisses maternal mortality committee after ProPublica investigation https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/health/georgia-maternal-mortality-committee-propublica MAGA influencer hit with right-wing backlash over feminist comments https://www.rawstory.com/maga-influencers/ Lizzy B on centering men as its own punishment https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrkQPsHJ/   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence https://a.co/d/dkAQZ9A Check Out Lisa’s Free Blog About This Episode https://www.patreon.com/collection/960341   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign dig into the cultural lie that women can “have it all,” breaking down how this expectation was built for women to fail. From impossible workplace standards to the emotional labor of relationships, the hosts unpack how patriarchal systems shape what women are told to value and why more women are redefining success on their own terms. But first, in Tea Time, they discuss far right podcaster Andrew Wilson losing control when confronted with his wife’s messy past, MTG resigning from Congress, and the latest chaos inside the Trump Administration. Later, in Tea or Trash, they react to trending social media to decide if it’s…you guessed it: Tea Or Trash!   🎧 This episode examines the myth of balance, the cost of unrealistic expectations, and why true empowerment comes from prioritizing personal wellbeing over patriarchal approval.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: Why the idea of women “having it all” is built on patriarchal expectations Andrew Wilson’s hypocrisy and the policing of women’s choices How political decisions impact women in female dominated fields Ongoing misogyny in politics and media How women are redefining success, autonomy, and personal safety Why rejecting patriarchal norms is necessary for real empowerment   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Far Right Podcaster Loses It After Woman Points Out His Wife Had 3 Kids With Different People https://www.complex.com/life/a/backwoodsaltar/far-right-podcaster-loses-it-heated-interview Donald Trump’s New Bill Doesn't Classify Nursing as a Professional Degree for College Students, Sparking Outrage https://people.com/nursing-is-not-a-professional-degree-under-president-donald-trumps-new-bill-11855209 What to know about why MTG is resigning https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/11/22/why-is-marjorie-taylor-greene-resigning/87417995007/ Trump Told a Woman, Quiet, Piggy, When She Asked Him About Epstein https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2025/11/trump-comments-denigrating-women-reporters-pattern/684974/ Single Moms: Less Housework, More Leisure Than Married Moms https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/living-single/201906/single-moms-less-housework-more-leisure-than-married-moms Death of young welder resonates with women in the trades across U.S. https://www.fox9.com/news/young-welder-death-amber-czech-resonates-women-trades Taylor Swift suspected stalker arrested for allegedly breaking into her New York City apartment again https://abcnews.go.com/US/taylor-swift-suspected-stalker-arrested-allegedly-breaking-york/story?id=61532972   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Check Out Lisa’s Free Blog About This Episode https://www.patreon.com/collection/960341   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign  sit down with special guest Therese Lee to unpack her new series, Witches, Whores, and Rebels, which explores how history repeats itself whenever powerful systems begin to break down. Again and again, women become the targets. From early witch hunts to modern political scapegoating, Therese examines how economic collapse, social panic, and patriarchal control create the same cycle throughout time. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts dive into a new app that lets users talk to AI avatars of deceased loved ones, churches lashing out after being exposed for refusing to help starving babies, and Megyn Kelly defending behavior no one expected her to defend. Later in the Mailbag, a listener asks whether child free women secretly worry they may regret their choice.   🎧 This episode draws a clear line between today’s political climate and the centuries of misogyny and economic control that shaped it, revealing how modern attacks on women mirror the past in chilling ways.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: Why women are always targeted during political and economic collapse How witch hunts were rooted in economics, ownership, and control The connection between modern misogyny and historical scapegoating AI technology and the ethical concerns around digital necromancy How religious narratives still influence motherhood, family, and women’s autonomy Why more women are rejecting traditional roles and choosing independence   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: New app lets users talk to AI avatars of deceased loved ones https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/black-mirror-becomes-reality-new-app-lets-users-talk-to-ai-avatars-of-deceased-loved-ones-3283056/ The Rise of the Single Woke (and Young, Democratic) Female https://www.aei.org/articles/the-rise-of-the-single-woke-and-young-democratic-female/ Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici https://www.worldofbooks.com/products/caliban-and-the-witch-book-silvia-federici-9781570270598?sku=CIN1570270597G New Study Shows Black Women Are Among The Most Educated Group In The United States https://www.essence.com/news/new-study-black-women-most-educated/   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Follow Therese Lee https://linktr.ee/theresehlee Witches, Whores and Rebels https://thereselee.com/witches-whores-rebels/ Check Out Lisa’s Free Blog About This Episode https://www.patreon.com/collection/960341   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome special guest Amarachi, a viral “villain era” dating coach who’s redefining what it means for women to date on their own terms. Together, they unpack how embracing your so-called “villain era” isn’t about being heartless — it’s about rejecting people-pleasing, prioritizing your happiness, and refusing to apologize for your standards. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts break down the Democrats caving to Trump on the government shutdown, Trump getting booed mercilessly at an NFL game, a woman’s viral experiment calling churches to see if they’d feed a starving baby, and a New York Times opinion piece asking if women “ruined” the workplace. Finally, in This You?, they read a viral Reddit post from a woman ready to divorce her husband over a birthday gift — and you might just take her side.   🎧 This episode challenges outdated dating dynamics and reminds women that setting boundaries, demanding effort, and embracing your so-called “villain era” is actually the key to self-respect and emotional freedom.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The “villain era” mindset and what it really means Why women should stop apologizing for having standards How to spot and reject one-sided relationships The truth about effort, reciprocity, and emotional labor Detachment as a tool for empowerment and healing Why setting boundaries is the ultimate act of self-love   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Democrats rage after 8 cross the aisle and join Republicans in vote to end shutdown: ‘Senseless surrender’ https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/democrats-chaos-senate-deal-shutdown-schumer-house-b2861865.html Trump Boo’d At Commanders Game https://www.reddit.com/r/sports/s/8mDpqHBP5J Woman Calls Churches To See If They’ll Feed Starving Baby https://www.newsweek.com/nikalie-monroe-church-call-experiment-starving-child-poverty-snap-benefits-11022815 New York Times Article – Did Women Ruin The Workplace? https://archive.is/UqFuP AITAH for divorcing over my birthday gift? https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1ot1zeh/aitah_for_divorcing_over_my_birthday_gift/   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Follow Amarachi! https://www.tiktok.com/@amarareyal Check Out Lisa’s Blog On This Episode! https://www.patreon.com/collection/960341   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack how religion has long been used to control women, and how deconstructing those beliefs can lead to empowerment and freedom.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the world’s first AI government minister, Mariah Carey’s controversial new Christmas ad, the viral Erika Kirk and JD Vance controversy, and Vogue’s piece asking if having a boyfriend is embarrassing in 2025.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the cultural shift around the term “girl’s girl”. Once a symbol of loyalty and sisterhood, now sometimes used as an insult. They explore what happened to “girl code,” how patriarchy and social media pit women against each other, and what real female solidarity looks like in 2025. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the viral TikTok “EBT Lady” on SNAP benefits expiring, the backlash to Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Lover Girl,” and Jameela Jamil’s viral claim that studios are “dumbing down” TV shows for distracted scrollers. Later, they play a Patreon-voted round of “Therapy or the Void?” featuring the characters of Friends.   🎧 This episode asks the question: Have women stopped having each other’s backs or are we just redefining what it means to be a girl’s girl?   🎙️ Topics Discussed: How “girl’s girl” went from compliment to insult The online policing of women and performative feminism Megan Thee Stallion as a modern “girl’s girl” icon How patriarchy thrives by dividing women The importance of solidarity over competition Why confidence and self-love are the ultimate rebellion   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: SNAP Runs Out of Money Nov. 1 — Here’s What That Means https://www.npr.org/2025/10/28/g-s1-95189/snap-food-stamps-government-shutdown-november Megan Thee Stallion Calls Out Her Haters as “Bots” https://www.rap-up.com/article/megan-thee-stallion-paid-online-hate-campaign Jameela Jamil on TV Shows Being “Dumbed Down” https://youtube.com/shorts/Lh09JO0MoME?si=dc4MHqsZKeYxTjhZ   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Watch Weapons https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26581740/ Check out Therese Lee’s channel! https://www.youtube.com/@theresehlee Lisa’s Blog: “What Happened To The Girls Girl?” https://www.patreon.com/posts/reading-tea-blog-142530837   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign sink their teeth into the world of emotional vampires — the people who drain your peace, your joy, and your energy. They explore how to recognize these emotional leeches, the red flags of covert narcissism and drama addiction, and how to protect your energy with healthy boundaries and self-awareness. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the new “full bush” underwear from Skims, Mackenzie Scott’s major donation to Black cultural preservation, the viral $5.5K “alpha male” bootcamp that’s more parody than power, and Mike Vrabel’s viral feminist gesture during NFL press conferences. Later, in the Mailbag, they respond to a listener question about why some men deliberately retraumatize their partners in relationships. 🎧 This episode exposes the traits of emotional vampires and gives you the garlic, mirror, and wooden stake to protect your peace. 🎙️ Topics Discussed: How to recognize emotional vampires in relationships and friendships Narcissists, drama magnets, and energy drainers How emotional exhaustion affects women’s mental health The power of boundaries and emotional detachment Why centering yourself is the ultimate act of self-preservation Signs of covert manipulation and how to protect your energy ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: SKIMS Is Selling ‘Full Bush’ Underwear https://people.com/kim-kardashian-addresses-attention-around-new-skims-full-bush-faux-pubic-hair-underwear-11832419 MacKenzie Scott Triples Down on DEI With $40 Million Donation https://fortune.com/2025/10/15/billionaire-mackenzie-scott-dei-40-million-donation-african-american-cultural-heritage-fund/ $5.5K Bootcamp to Turn ‘Soft Men’ Into ‘Alpha Males’ Goes Viral https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15191027/David-Cohodes-5500-alpha-male-bootcamp.html Mike Vrabel Explains Why He Gives Female Reporters the First Question https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/mike-vrabel-explains-first-question-press-conferences-female.html Millions Attend ‘No Kings’ Protests Across the U.S. https://time.com/7326801/no-kings-protests-near-me-trump/ 📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Vampire in Brooklyn https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114825/ 💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?
