About Not Surprised, Just Confused
Join Tanieka Romona and Mischa Rivers on Fridays as they laugh and moan through the finite chaos of their existence, and cackle at the madness that people get up to. After years of growing up self-assured in what they wanted from their lives, at twenty-five these two accepted that almost nothing goes as planned. Coming from similar backgrounds and means, they've ended up in quite different places at this point in their lives. With the realization that they know nothing and that life is absolute chaotic insanity, they pretty much stopped being surprised by it all and just remain overwhelmingly confused. Watch the confusion on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI4zEYYINGZccM7cx267jqQ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

Episode 8 - Understanding Gen Z & Millennials
Millennials and Gen Z, like all generations, seem to have a hard time understanding each other. This makes sense with millennials growing up alongside the dawn of the internet and Gen Z not knowing a time before the internet, it’s only understandable that they have a different outlook on life and way of doing things.Tanieka and Mischa read through some Millennials thoughts and feelings regarding Gen Z, some of which is just admiration for their younger counterparts. Today’s Covenstead Cackling is brought to you by a woman that accidentally kidnapped the toddler she was babysitting, a man who’s about to cause chaos because his affair of 16 years left him high and dry, and a woman who’s coworker’s are malicious towards her health.

Episode 7 - The Fanaticism Surrounding Serial Killers
Groupies, for serial killers? Shockingly, yes. What sway a convicted murderer could have over people he’s never met is beyond Tanieka and Mischa. On this week’s episode our hosts discuss how the Jeffrey Dahmer series could even have been made, and the weird idolization and delusion people have in regards to how they could be a serial killer's favourite. Mischa also relays the insane story of the limited series “The Most Dangerous Animal of All”, a man’s journey to prove that his biological father is the Zodiac Killer. Today's Covenstead Cackling is brought to you by a woman who is unusually upset about her best friend getting married and a man who thinks that visiting him is more important than preparing for a hurricane.

Episode 6 - Why Are Clothes Like This?
Cyclical trends, stores that are perpetually closing, and washing machines are what's on the table this week. What originally started as an episode about intergenerational differences, delved into a discussion about all things clothes. How Tanieka and Mischa got so off topic, who knows? What they do know is that everything comes back into fashion again even the things we all despise, teenagers don't have much of an option when it comes to clothing targeted to them, and closing sales are a joke. Today's Covenstead cackling is brought to you by a women that doesn't realize she can commit sexual harassment on another woman, and a guy who was stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to answering a question about his girlfriend's choice in clothes.

Episode 5 - Are We Fake Friends?
Do you wanna learn how to stay in touch with a long distance friend? No? Apparently neither do we. On this episode Tanieka & Mischa realize that apparently most people have more than 1 friend, and actually have an entire friend group. They ask each other questions to see how well they do or possibly don’t know each other. Find out if they’ve actually been fake friends for the last decade. Discover that Tanieka would be useless on a desert island & Mischa might be a narcissist. Today's Covenstead Cackling is more of a Covenstead Questioning and is brought to you by another guy that needs to learn tact and how to get over a childhood crush, and a woman who learned the hard way not to waste other people’s time.

Episode 4 - Alpha Males
You don’t wanna be caught looking like a stiff stick. Today Tanieka and Mischa bring on a guest, as they go through the wonder that is “Mantelligence”. They learn how to be irresistible and sexy, while discussing who these articles are made for and why. Do these tips and tricks actually work, or are they just to keep the average reader coming back for more? They parse through the rubble and fool’s gold to discover that while what’s said is wrong but it isn’t exactly right. Today's Covenstead cackling is brought to you by a perverted brother-in-law with 0 boundaries, and a man who made a decision that was regrettable for everyone involved.

Episode 3 - You're More Than Your Job
How do Millennials and Gen X get out of bed day in and day out, to work at a job they don't even care about? Because we struggled just to make it through this week. On today's episode, Tanieka and Mischa discuss the heart wrenching sorrow they feel about having to work for the rest of their lives. They also explore why we feel the need to ask someone what they do as a job upon introduction. Pondering what they feel passionate about, they dig into why they struggle to connect passions to a job/career. Today's Covenstead cackling is brought to you by a woman who needs to learn that it's okay to be confrontational when it comes to getting paid, and another person that needs to be reminded that we don't take disrespect in the workplace.

Episode 2 - The Bizarre Obsession with Highschool
What is with media and society glorifying high school and the teenage years? We've all been teenagers (well most of us at least) and let's be real, it sucked. Let's be honest and change the narrative, high school is a crap shoot and a small drop in the bucket in this confusion we call life. Tanieka & Mischa discuss western media's portrayals of high school, the weird sexualization of teenagers, & school uniforms. They also dive into how creepy teachers can be and the crazy things some of them choose to wear in a school setting. Today's Covenstead cackling is brought to you by a woman who probably needs new "best friends", a man with no tact, a young woman who can't push a button and Tanieka's poorly suited dramatic reading voice decisions.
