We’re back with Tareq for our final Ramadan episode, and we’re diving deep into gossip—because let’s be real, we all do it. Is venting just gossip with better PR? Do men actually gossip more than women? And where’s the line between harmless chitchat and straight-up character assassination?

From people who romanticize their struggles to the ones who let pain turn them bitter, we’re unpacking why some of us just can’t seem to move on.
