  • I had an epiphany..there are only 5 good men in London ft Kandie Jo
    Jul 14 2025

    Hey guys! Welcome back to another episode of Faking Adulthood — home of the fake adults! 🎭 I’m your host Rita Balogun, and today I’m joined by our regular co-host Kandie Jo as we dive into our most chaotic chat on love, dating, and post-breakup life yet.


    We’re talking about:

    • Breakups & back on the streets

    • The pressure of finding love in 2025

    • Whether running for romance is actually insane

    • Why doing your toes post-breakup is okay


    This one feels like a late-night FaceTime with your girls — unfiltered, funny, and way too real.


    🎧 Listen if you’re single, in a situationship, or just tired of the dating game.

  • I want to be the Queen of Asia. Yes I know i’m Black. Ft Qoy
    Jul 6 2025

    🎙️ Welcome to another episode of Faking Adulthood – the podcast for fake adults figuring life out one laugh at a time!

    I’m your host Rita Balogun, and today I’m joined by my hilarious co-host Qoy (no last name – and that’s okay!).


    In this episode, we dive into a totally random, completely unserious conversation about everything and nothing – from delusional dreams (like becoming the Queen of Asia 👑) to the struggles of pretending we know what we’re doing as grown-ups.


    Expect chaos. Expect confusion. And most of all… expect laughs.


    Thank you so much for the support, please don’t forget to follow and rate the show ❤️

  • I’m triggered by your accent (respectfully) ft Adeola K
    Jun 30 2025

    Welcome to another episode of Faking Adulthood – home of the fake adults, where we talk about everything and nothing!


    I’m your host, Rita Balogun, and today my co-host is the fabulous Adeola K.


    In this episode, we’re asking the real questions:

    🔊 Why aren’t fans actually silent in 2025?

    🗣️ Why do certain accents trigger us emotionally (no shade… okay, maybe a little)?

    🧠 Forehead debates: Is it big, or are you projecting?

    📉 And finally: Are you as adult as you think you are? Spoiler alert… probably not.


    If you’re into chaotic deep dives, unfiltered banter, and laugh-out-loud fake wisdom—this one’s for you. 💥


    💬 Let us know in the comments: What accent gives you war flashbacks? Be honest (but respectful)!


    Wondering if you’re an asshole? Ask me here and we’ll let you know in the new episode:
