What happens when a renowned Calypsonian sets the tone for a podcast episode filled with humor, personal stories, and pressing current events? This week, we kick off with a lively introduction from King Obstinate, which leads us into some amusing anecdotes about navigating new eating habits and the thrill of short work weeks. We then shift our focus to the vibrant streets of Trinidad, guided by popular YouTuber Chris Must, as he explores the raw realities of areas like La Horquetta and Gonzalez.

Along the way, we discuss the rising popularity of the dating and robbery app Grinder in Trinidad and its profound impact on modern relationships.

Modern dating apps like Tinder also come under the microscope, as we discuss the inherent risks and rewards of meeting strangers through these platforms. From there, our conversation gets serious, diving into the alarming violence that plagues Trinidad and Tobago, and illustrating our points with recent events in Gonzales Belmont. The narrative takes a gripping turn as we analyze the arrest of Chris Hughes, aka Chris Must, during his filming in Trinidad. We explore the potent mix of social media, the attention economy, and the real-world consequences that content creators face, emphasizing how likes, shares, and subscriptions can drive their actions.

Our discussion doesn't stop there. We tackle the challenges faced by local content creators in gaining recognition compared to their foreign counterparts, highlighting the efforts of Michael Mondesi to bring attention to talented locals like Certified Samson and Jr Lee. We wrap up with the controversial arrest of Hughes on sedition charges, drawing parallels to crime dramas like Narcos and questioning the broader societal issue of locals feeling like foreigners in their own land. All this and more, underscored by the timeless relevance of Lord Nelson's song "Foreigner," making for an episode that's as engaging as it is eye-opening.

Enjoy!!!
