Is Tricking Just Generosity? The Truth About Power, Provision, & Playing Yourself Feat. The Pod Peeps

Izzy is back with the PodPeeps — Jesse, Tevin, and JR — for one of the most honest and entertaining conversations of the season. Recorded live in Atlanta, this in-person episode dives deep into the world of “tricking”: what it is, what it isn’t, and why so many people pretend not to be doing it… while doing it. From sugar daddies to spontaneous gifts, this one unpacks the cultural, psychological, and spiritual sides of spending money to feel powerful, feel loved, or feel something at all.

The group explores why some men equate money with masculinity, using dollars to compensate for past bullying, insecurities, or rejection, and how the act of tricking becomes less about generosity and more about buying temporary validation. As JR explains, the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for fear, gets activated when people feel unattractive or unwanted, and tricking becomes a way to override that emotional pain. But is it worth it?

The conversation doesn’t stop at men. The PodPeeps also explore the reality of women who trick, the blurred lines between providing and flexing, and how “generosity” can often be misread depending on your tax bracket. Jesse raises a powerful point about how true respect, the kind that’s rooted in character and consistency, can’t be bought. Tricking might get you tolerance, but it won’t get you love.

Izzy adds a spiritual layer to the mix, asking: Would God be okay with you tricking? Pulling from Proverbs and Genesis, the episode challenges listeners to rethink how they use their resources not just in relationships, but in their purpose. Provision, as the Bible outlines, is about stewardship, love, and responsibility, not manipulation, performance, or flashy validation. Whether you’ve been a trick, been tricked on, or just like nice things, this episode forces you to ask the question: What are you really trying to buy?
