Toks is back from visiting her parents in Nigeria and is so jet lagged that this episode may be largely incomprehensible; it's possible she even falls asleep at one point. She and El Hubbo chat about choking, flight etiquette and cleaning the bathroom (and Toks would like everyone to know that in said bathroom she only partakes in the one sink for make-up application and dental care and uses the guest bathroom for showers and such; as Catherine Zeta-Jones ones said "For marriage to be a success, every woman and every man should have their own bathroom!").  Find Toks on: https://www.instagram.com/ToksOlagundoye https://twitter.com/ToksOlagundoye https://www.facebook.com/ToksOlagundoye/   Get/send a personal message (or join Toks's fan club on Cameo for exclusive content): https://www.cameo.com/toksolagundoye Get extra content and merch from by supporting the podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Toksolagundoye  Thanks for listening!

This week's Steeping With The Enemy is cancelled due to a trip Toks had to take for a project...... Instead, you get a very special Tea For Two AND Tea For Two; Steeping With The Enemy hybrid! Toks and El Hubbo did this once before when he interviewed her. This episode is the very first that was ever recorded. A mock interview from March 11, 2017 in which Toks interviewed El Hubbo to see if her format worked. They were never going to share it, but they decided that it would be a nice #BTS treat instead of giving you no episode at all! This week Toks and El Hubbo chat about glitter and sushi (this was a few months before Toks went vegan) and Amanda (who was our first ever official guest - #AMAZINGEPISODE) keeps calling. Even though we aren't happy about paper waste in any capacity we are very happy to support The Nature Conservancy and we hope you will, too! You can find them on social media at @nature_org on Twitter and Instagram, The Nature Conservancy on Facebook and check out what they do and donate at www.nature.org. You can find Much Better at @_muchbetter on Twitter and Instagram, Much Better on FB, and find their music at muchbetterband.bandcamp.com, spotify, amazon music, youtube music, iTunes and probably more!!
