Ever had a friend who felt more like an emotional vampire? One day you wake up and realize you haven’t thought about them since you cut them off—and your life got lighter. In this episode, T and Q drop the kid gloves and break down the hard truths about toxic friendships: the red flags, the excuses we make to stay, and when to walk away (or set that bridge on fire).

From guilt-tripping and backhanded compliments to friends who leave you drained after every hangout, we’re sharing real stories, ruthless advice, and the questions to ask yourself (*"Do they add joy or just drama?"*). Plus: listener confessions, when to ghost vs. have "the talk," and why "we’ve been friends for years" is a trash reason to tolerate disrespect.

Spoiler: If you’re mad while listening… you might be the toxic one.

🎙️ "Did the NFL Punish Shedeur Sanders for Being TOO Confident?" | Life with T and Q (Ft. Jelon from podcast of 5280)

Welcome back to Life with T and Q—your new favorite podcast! This episode is FIRE 🔥 as we’re joined by special guest Jelon from our partner podcast Family of 5280 to break down the most controversial draft slide of the year: Shedeur Sanders falling to the 5th round. Was it football… or something deeper?

We kick things off with the 5 biggest draft steals in NFL history (Marino, Moss, Sapp, Rodgers, Lamar) and why teams still haven’t learned their lesson. Then, we dive into Shedeur’s shocking fall and ask:

- Was this a football decision… or a personality punishment?

- Did Deion’s viral "I won’t let him go just anywhere" interview backfire?

- Why does the NFL love confidence… until they don’t? (Bryce Young vs. Shedeur energy)

- Did skipping the Combine hurt him, or was it the chains, the swagger, and the "coach’s kid" narrative?

- Prank call controversy: Was Deion wrong for asking to speak to the Browns’ GM?

- Retired jersey drama: Did CU honoring him too soon rub teams the wrong way?

- The REAL reason the Browns might’ve gotten the steal of the draft.

This week on Life Unscripted with T & Q, we’re diving into a timely and hilariously real conversation: why does Mother’s Day come with spa days, flowers, and heartfelt tributes, while Father’s Day gets… socks and grill tools? 👀

T kicks it off by asking if men should still buy gifts for the mother of their kids even if they’re not together—things get real quick. Then we debut our new segment, The 5 & 0 Report, breaking down the Top 5 Gifts to Avoid Getting Mom (trust us, leave the vacuum at the store).

We unpack the origins of both holidays, the marketing machines behind them, and the emotional weight they carry. Q shares his frustration with the double standards and lackluster gifts dads often receive, while T reflects on how her own upbringing shaped her ideas about Father’s Day—and how she’s learning what real appreciation looks like in a blended family.

From capitalism to culture, stereotypes to sentimentality, this episode is a raw, funny, and thought-provoking look at how we celebrate parents—and whether it’s time to rethink the whole thing.

💐👔 Whether you’re a mom, dad, or someone who fills those shoes, this one’s for you.

Tune in, laugh with us, maybe cry a little, and remember: appreciation doesn’t have to come in a Hallmark card.

New episodes every week—unscripted, unfiltered, and unapologetically real.
