"See, The Thing Is..."

3,129

Society is brimming with hypocrisy, indignation and opinions—the Selective Ignorance podcast will dare to challenge the complexities behind internet reaction and the public’s beliefs by unpacking trending topics with comedic education and outlandish hot takes.

Each week, Mandii B engages guests from the worlds of media, comedy and entertainment, as well as cultural and topical experts, to tackle everything from current events to the latest scandals in order to confront biases, embrace the uncomfortable and embark on a journey that shakes the status quo.

    Not sure if it’ll survive w/o Olivia
    2 stars because Mandi has improved tremendously with professionalism and not talking over people. She is successful because she knows the business and is smart, I’ll give her that. But she just doesn’t seem like much of a girls girl and it’s obvious. Dk what happened with her and BK, tried to give this spin off a try but gonna have to delete. Not my teacup.
  • LegalBaddie💖
    Excited
    Not surprised Mandi started this type of podcast. I felt like she really enjoyed discussing all sorts of topics on STTI and is open to listen to others and not afraid to either stand on her belief or expand her perspective. I think anyone who is complaining of the interruption has never had a conversation with multiple people, especially within a podcast setting….as the host you have to guide the conversation to hit the timeline milestones and time is money…LITERALLY! Anywho I just binged listened all episodes today at work. Keep it up boo and remember “it’s human nature for people to hate” 😘

    Moderator course please
    On Ep 6. Interesting conversation but 3 people talking/yelling at the same time is not going to do it for me! Please let your guests speak. Maybe do a moderator course.
  • AIK😊❤️
    Good topics
    ❤️❤️ the new show and topics. Enjoying listening to the views and different perspectives of Mandii and her guests!
  • fogeyaboutit
    More content 🤦‍♂️🤩🤩🤩
    Let’s gooooo mandi
  • Midwestjade
    Do it alone. No guests. So you can talk. All the time
    This must be the old see the thing is page that mandi has not taken over. I listened to the Rory podcast episode because I felt there would be good chemistry between the two of them and potentially flow better. I still cannot get thru because Mandi interrupts and talks over way to much. I think I’m finally gonna have to give up on her show concepts because she cannot seem to master not inserting herself every single time. Great concepts, horrible execution.
  • Aprella Ella
    Thought provoking
    I love this new show! I appreciate us talking about topics that many tend to argue about and in doing so they miss the message. Thank you for bringing this show to my timeline!
  • A pro podcast listener
    Heavy on the ignorance
    I tried to listen as a former STTI fan but its just so obvious Mandii is a capitalist and tries to pretend she cares about community but in reality we can all see she only cares about a bottom line. RIP to the former show STTI with Bridgett, she gave the show some balance.
  • moni ii
    She’s baaaaack!!!
    Just finished ep 1. Loved it!!!! Whew I missed you on the airways!!!! Sooo excited!!!
  • Around the way listener
    Love this for Mandii
    Love Mandii on a mic! She’s creatively so smart and although, Selectively Ignorant (aren’t we all?) - this era feels grown and healthy for her.
  • TamelB
    Episode 2 Feedback well word of advice
    great episode and i love the transparency of it all but Mandii we have to be fair. The story you told about the quizno situation is a tale as old as time “you get further in life being liked than you are being qualified” You are a cooperate gworl down to ur bone marrow! so everything is going to be executed perfectly ! and efficiently! that can sometimes come with a kinda cold brash energy. So maybe that guy was a likeable person or he had some favor higher up in the job space … but i do agree with you most of the episode and Love Antionette of course and forever
  • Myah_T
    Excited for what’s to come!
    I’ve missed Mandii’s deep dives on social commentary and current events. I’m so excited that you’re coming back to this lane and I look forward to hearing more. Keep it up! 👏🏽
  • WASWB
    Tough Listen smh
    Mandii needs therapy…
  • D.ment.it
    Naw Mandi might got Mel wiped down!!!!!

  • RealTeddyBaby
    Mandii is unstoppable!
    I love Mandii, I loved STTI, I loved the old Whoreable, I love period, sis; I love everything SHE creates! She is very entertaining for one but most importantly she’s very passionate about what she does and it’s very inspiring as someone who aspires a similar career path and can relate to Mandii on so many levels. Keep up the great work sis your voice gets me through the work week and has been for the past 3-4 years! I love you girl! Can’t wait to meet you one day! I came to the first whorable live show in Detroit btw! 😘
  • Noooograce
    Mandii please keep going
    I experienced this with wanting to go to a HBCU. I just started last month and the financial aid office was ghetto!!! This is after attending 3 PWI’s. Two degrees later I wanted to be around my people. I just feel like whew chile thee ghetto. Mandii we love your perspective. Keep making the haters mad. We love you!! We will always support you. Can’t wait for the announcements to come.

    Boring
    This show was better when Bridget was on it
  • Jaiajones1233455
    Ugh sad
    Normally don’t write reviews but sad to see yall go. 🥲
  • It’s just one thing ✨
    🖤✨
    so sad to hear the end of this. It just doesn’t sit right with me 😞 especially with them not following each other anymore. And the final episode not with them being together really hurt me but all in all see the thing is got me through a lot of hard times. Sad to seey’all go 💔. Thank yall for the lessons, the new music to add to the my playlist, the interviews and a safe space to be an auntie 💜. wish nothing but the best for y’all !!!
  • Mz ThinMints
    Great Editing
    Episode 283. Shout out to the YouTube editor! The filming apart but sliced together very smoothly… a lot of work, done nice 👍
  • xtina.lopez
    I will miss STTI
    Thank you Mandi and Bridgette for this podcast! I loved tuning in EVERY WEEK for the past 3 years. Your growth as creators was incredible to witness and I will definitely continue to support your next venture. You created a beautiful space for women to speak all things music and culture. I discovered so many new artists and new music through this podcast. It was inspiring to witness you both on red carpets, going viral, and touring as the years gone by. This was by far my favorite podcast and although I am sad to watch y’all leave, I am thankful to be a faithful listener. Just, shedding a thug tear as I wrap up your last episode and leaving this comment.
  • Raebaebae88
    Goodbye
    So sad to see this pod go. It’s been a great run and I hope the hosts move on to greater and better things. Seeing y'all transform has been amazing to see. Antoinette brought me here and I’m glad I stayed.
  • T. Lew
    Love this pod
    Sad that this pod has ended but loved listening in twice a week. My favorite podcast!
  • NessaOnugha
    I wish they ended together
    I always enjoyed this show but I wish we got a true farewell with the hosts together. Love their friends too but didn’t want to hear them on the last 2 episodes to ever exist. Sigh
  • Redbuglane88
    Love the show
    I am sad to see you guys go, but I wish you guys nothing but the best and I am so proud. This podcast really helped me get through some really rough times these last three years.
  • ReignaxD
    Too sad to let go
    Although it hasn’t been as long as others. I have been listening to the pod religiously for shortly over a year now. I love both of these women! They are hilarious; their commentary and advice has helped guide me in life though my early 20’s. Helping me live my life to the fullest without wilding too much and so many laughs along the way. They have an edge that I haven’t seen/heard from other pods. I also don’t think they have been given enough flowers, I have recommended the pod to women I surround my self with and think everyone should give their channel a listen.
  • chicksb4dicks108
    I’m going to miss this pod so much!
    This podcast has meant so much to me and I was absolutely shocked to hear it’s ending. Bridget please consider starting a new pod. I love your takes! ❤️
  • haitian91
    V-Day episode
    This week’s episode was relationship related but there was a portion from the episode where I felt like crying because it was hitting. I wanted to skip this week’s episode because I didn’t feel like I needed to hear about V-Day or relationships but it definitely was an episode I needed to hear. God will never leave me and he’s standing beside me 🫶🏾 had a moment where I felt like I was alone and this episode just slapped me into reality
  • Maryland Listener
    Vocal issue
    Mandii we love you sis but the voice in episode 278 is not sounding good. We should’ve let Bridget carry the episode this time.
  • Mida A.
    PLEASE
    Day one listener here. Mandi….PLEASE STOP talking over people or interrupting people, ESPECIALLY guests. You WONT STOP TALKING even after you literally just asked someone a question. Let the person answer the question without interruption!!! I stopped listening because of this. In 2024 please TALK LESS and listen more.

    I love this show so much first off!. 🫶🏽🫶🏽 I’m listening to the newer episodes and I’m sitting here vibing to this groovy music but then it hit me yall changed from dadadadada oh Amari but I love it. 😅😂😂
  • Santi.Lee
    The pod I never knew I needed!
    Some how I stumbled across this podcast recently and been a fan ever since! Love the vibes and guests and the topics that are touched on.
  • mobamba37
    Please read reviews and try to improve
    I really want to like this podcast and have been listening for a while but at times it’s just so overbearing the way Mandii talks over everyone, especially guests. It’s like she only truly thinks her opinion matters. She’ll demand people allow her to finish her thoughts but doesn’t do the same for them. It’s getting frustrating because it’s so distracting from the show and so many people say the same in the reviews but I guess these go unread or the hosts simply don’t care. Also she says “let me be clear” “I wanna be very clear” etc like every 5 secs 😭 we just want better for y’all
  • Shernell0
    Please Stop taking over each other
    Please try to stop talking over each other especially when y’all have guests…. I literally find my self saying shut up so I can hear the guest say a story. All 3 of y’all get hyped off a comment then all talk at once…and the actual person I wanna hear opinion I don’t because someone interrupted and the thought is lost……love the pod…but please stop talking over each other
  • King700
    Be Defiant episode w/ Antoinette
    Long time listener 1st time commenter When Bridgette said “the thing I loved the most payed the least” and relationship with money, punched me in the stomach Love y’all and also “Around the way Curls” ✌🏾

    PARDI
    Love me some PARDI and his POV. I stand with you !
  • Godschildmarissa
    Love listening
    You guys make me laugh I also really enjoy that you talk about current events and what’s happening around us. Your comments on tipping your delivery driver had me cracking up! Thank you for tipping a little goes along way :)
  • A.Rhian
    I’m between a 3.5-4.
    I love the guests y’all have and the layout of the show, but it gets sooo frustrating when the guests get talked over, often. They want to answer the questions, but they’re getting interrupted or redirected every rip. Trying to listen to Jesse Boykins III and he can’t get more than a sentence in before being interrupted 😭.
  • Plusizeprincess
    So fun and informative!
    Great interviews and i learn so much about the industry that i wouldn’t have otherwise known. Especially with music!
  • L1291
    My Favorite Pod Cast
    Literally one of my favorite pods Top 2 & y’all not 2! Although sometimes I don’t agree with Bridget or Mandii’s take, I appreciate the opportunity to take my emotions out and hear a perspective I hadn’t thought through. I think it’s weird when ppl come for Mandii and Bridget because if y’all don’t like their takes that much then just go! They give a lot and it has helped me grow as well! Oh and the live show was amazing!!!
  • Kylo Zylo
    Love this pod
    Please stop inviting Antoinette. She whines too much and is too preachy.
  • not UIUX fridndly
    Came across this podcast on IG
    Saw a reel on IG of this podcast I'm really happy I found it, and I look forward to listening to it regularly. I love this podcast because it makes me laugh, along with a twist of gossip, news, and social media Keep up the great work ladies 💅🏽
  • CBWH
    Please Antoinette Permanently
    I enjoy the show; couple of recommendations add Antoinette on to the show permanently. Please have Mandy stop using the B word it is annoying at this point. I also find it weird she calls people that are her friends or coworkers that word none STOP.
  • iculol
    I would love less usage of the B word from Mandi.
    I enjoy the show and all episodes with Antoinette. I would love less usage of the B word from Mandi.
  • MsDeidra
    Favorite podcast
    This is literally the only podcast that I listen to that seems authentic and flows well. I will say recently I’ve been skipping to episodes with Antionnette she truly is the best and I love the balance she brings to the pod. She’s so real and authentically her. Wish she could be the third host
  • SDoTDoubleU
    Antoinette
    I absolutely love Antoinette’s presence on the pod. I’ve found myself skipping episodes when she’s not the guest or it’s not just Mandi and BK. Just make her the 3rd host already!
  • Bking1992
    Antoinette
    Keep Antoinette on this pod please. Y’all need a balance and she is the balance!!! We love you Antoinette!!!!
  • Rudeone83
    One of the best podcasts
    I love listening to this podcast every Tuesday and Friday. These ladies keep me on my toes with their thoughts on current trends and topics on pop culture and politics. I enjoy the unique perspectives of both Mandii and Bridget along with the friends with benefits. I love it so much I even signed up for Patreon. Keep up the great work ladies. 🫶🏾🫶🏾
  • white girl tatted
    Haven’t listened to one bad episode.
    I listen to Whoreible Decisions with Mandy & Weezy, so when I heard about See The Thing Is I had to give it a shot. Seriously my favorite podcast!! It never disappoints. There are so many great segments and the energy between these two ladies is so amazing. Guests are just a bonus!
