  • 162 - Proposal Icks, Dream Rings & How to Get Her to Say Yes

    Hiii MOSSIES, hope you’re ready for the weekend because we’re back to kick it off!

    Cuffing season has brought in some strong gusts of engagement clouds and it seems to be raining proposals all over the place. As custodians of all things in the dating climate, we decided to weigh in with our opinions on the best and worst proposals we’ve ever seen.

    From the Vijay-Rashmika proposal fiasco on Koffee with Karan to the lowdown on natural diamonds, ring sizes and our personal popping the question icks, this one’s full of hot takes for those eager to get down on one knee, so hit that play button already!


    P.S - We PROPOSE that MOS should hit 200k now - so be a queen and go like, share, comment, hype, subscribe (OR ELSE your ring finger nail will get fully chipped on the day you’re getting proposed to, don’t say we didn’t warn you).

  • 161 - MOS Gets Spooky: Halloween Special

    Hellooo Mossies, it’s spooky szn but there’s no need to be afraid because the witching hour is here and we’re back with another episode to ward off your weekday scaries!!

    In this Halloween special, we’re taking the hauntings head on AKA reacting to ghost stories sent in by our lovely listeners. Are ghosts actually misunderstood? Is the lady in the white saree just getting with the pastel wedding trend? And where do the horrors of existing as a woman fit in?

    After some very dramatic readings of certified creepy paranormal experiences, Sakshi & Naina also dropped some banger horror movie recommendations for you (just in case this episode didn’t give you your spooky fix).

    We end with a classic game of WHAT’S SCARIER - where we’re pitting horror movie tropes against the real horrors of being a girl in this world.

    Get under a blanket, keep the lights on, and send this to the friend who accompanies you to the bathroom. Tell us your favourite horror movie in the comments, and don’t forget to like, share, hype and subscribe OR you’ll be haunted by the MOS fairies forever.

  • 160 - Ultimate MOS Guide To Stop Being A Good Girl

    Hellooo Mosquites and MOSSIES, this week’s agenda: be a b*tch.

    Friday has come around and this very special episode has Sakshi and Naina dissecting the good girl behaviours that hold women back while they attempt to exorcise your fear of being called a b*tch. Why does standing up for ourselves come with so much guilt?

    Why are we still saying “no worries” when we have several? And how do we stop needing everyone to think we’re nice? The girls get into it all + we revisit the times we thought we were being bitches, only to realise that's just what was needed in the moment. Chronic good girls and helpless people pleasers, this one's for you: the ultimate MOS guide to being a bitch.

    Hit play, send this to your most apologetic friend, and tell us about your proudest bitch moment in the comments.

    Like, share, subscribe, and we’ll see you next week!

  • 159 - Is It Better To Travel With Your Friends Vs Partner?

    HELLOOO MOSquitoes - your Friday delivery from MOS is here and we’re not even asking for an OTP.

    [BUT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION AROUND THE 30-MIN MARK FOR THIS EPISODE - THERE’S A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU. DON’T MISS IT.]

    This week, Sakshi & Naina are addressing something they’ve never addressed before. A fresh and novel topic straight from the minds that run MOS. For the first time ever in 146 episodes. After much begging & pleading we’re finally speaking about: TRAVEL.That’s right - can’t believe we never said a word about this until now. But don’t worry we’re ready to course-correct.

    The girls took a lil mini-vacay to Alibaug with their respective beaus and came in strong with the tea. From the joys of having a boat guy to the legend of the kookaburra cricket bat, this one is full of trip lore featuring MOS nation’s first gentlemen. Naina gave a shoutout to couples who match your freak on vacation (AKA go to sleep at 10 pm), and Sakshi gave us the correct code of ethics when it comes to travel etiquette & closing that Splitwise tab.

    We ended with a lil game of BOARD OR BOUNCE - definitely play along with your friends before taking that trip out of the group chat and into the real world. Okay now go hit that play button and we’ll see you next week - same time, same place, same couch, peace out.
