VOTE AT 16: ARE TEENS READY FOR THE BALLOT? | TDA - E842

🎙️ Patreon Summary - TDA: November 13th

A lively Thursday morning on The Day After, packed with laughter, deep dives, and a few fiery debates. The team started lightheartedly-catching up on Sade night out at Remmel London’s Mainstream Live event, complete with shoutouts to Nadia J, Bola Sol, and a chat about the power of being prepared when opportunity calls.

Things quickly turned reflective when a viral clip about modern dating and “baby mama culture” stirred discussion on accountability, social media narratives, and gender expectations within the Black community. The hosts challenged the clip’s generalisations, debated whether men or women hold more responsibility in dating choices, and examined how online rhetoric fuels division.

From there, the conversation flowed into Tinder’s proposed height filters, sparking wider talk about preference, bias, and how dating apps strip away real-world connection. Should love be filtered by height, weight, or income-or is that just another symptom of the “perfect partner” illusion?

Later, the show shifted gears to world headlines - Keir Starmer’s internal Labour tensions, the BBC facing a potential apology to Donald Trump, Epstein-linked revelations, and a neo-Nazi former Buckingham Palace worker being unmasked.

As always, TDA balanced humour, culture, and critical thought proving why it remains the morning show for the culture, by the culture.
