• The joys and horrors of competitiveness, and Claire's bad tattoos
    Jun 14 2023

    In this episode we unpack Claire's history of getting and erasing terrible tattoos, including incorrect Latin, ex-boyfriends, and backpacks. So cool. We also talk Mamamia's habit of pitting women against each other, and how competitive we can be- and whether this is fun or toxic. Why not both? Strap yourselves in!

  • The downfall of Taylor Swift, gentle parenting and the Nutbush
    May 31 2023

    We're in the studio talking about Taylor- who is Matty Healy, why is she dating him, and why should we care? We also talk gentle parenting, the philosophy driving modern approaches to breeding- are we utilising a good way to raise kind and emotionally regulated people, or are we breeding a fresh generation of lily-livered, self-examining snowflakes? We also pay homage to the magnificent Tina Turner and her mark on modern Australian culture- including salivating over NRL players and the Nutbush dance, which apparently nobody else in the world knows or does at every wedding after half a bottle of cheap savvy b. They're missing out. So are you if you miss this episode. Strap yourselves in!

    Apr 3 2023

  • Millionaire self care, disappearing sheilas and bad news blokes
    Feb 28 2023

    Hello! We're in the studio! We're a bit cross! We talk about our disappearing act on the request of a few listeners- and why it's all going to be ok, in the studio, forever. We're talking about a woman who has it all, if paying $7000 on laser treatments, sculpting and nail salons can be considered self care. Finally, we talk about some violating recent experiences that have left us feeling both outraged and exhausted. Is anything going to change? Will we stop having so many kids? Why are we yelling? Strap yourselves in  x

  • The end of middle age and projecting on our kids
    Feb 23 2023

    We're in a professional studio! We're in the same city! We're back! Holy dooley! Today we talk middle age- are we allowed to have it? What does it mean if it's dead? Do we get a purple rinse perm and lovely loose linens, or do we have to be young forever? We also look at parents projecting on our kids- what does it mean when we're pushing our issues on them? Should we protect them from our own mistakes? Or do we just let them find their own way? Strap yourselves in!

  • Is Celeste Barber a bully and are we sacrificing the right things?
    Aug 2 2022

    The sound is no good, but we are. We discuss Celeste Barber and recent backlash- is she a bully, or doing good for a culture where being a hot babe is still critically important above all else? We also talk sacrifice- having it all is dead, and what do you let go of to have what's left? We report on what we've both missed out on happily- and what we miss. Strap yourselves in!
