    You will be celibate in heaven btw ft Uche Natori & Kandie Jo

    Welcome back to Faking Adulthood! Rita B is joined by Uche Natori and Kandie Jo as we celebrate 100 episodes of the podcast. What started as faking adulthood has somehow turned into triple digits — and we are still very much unqualified. This episode has absolutely no structure. We cover everything from whether we’ll be celibate in heaven (??), twins being childish, random adulting struggles, and chaotic friendship debates. It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s very on-brand. Thank you for supporting Faking Adulthood for 100 episodes. We genuinely appreciate every listener who’s been here for the journey.
