Back once again to talk rubbish about redoing our wedding food, the USA's disposable plate epidemic, a big (and small) shout out to a listener and a convo about letting kids swear.

Order, order, Gabby wants order! After a brief flit about from thing to thing (too excited this episode), we settle into a conversation about gardening podcast ASMR, the absolute poo heap that is Taylor Frankie Paul and the SLOMW franchise. Mel gives a heartwarming update from a listener and we talk through how annoying it is to be marketed having GLASS everything currently.

This weeks episode heralds the predictable joy of a cheeky Nando's, the lunacy of the UK having limited free refill joints, the audacity of the price of eating out, Gabby's historical spell of being paleo and the delights of a Japanese sweet potato!

Happy EFFING Woman's Day, we suppose? In this weeks episode, we share some rage about the patriarchy, Gabby shares about a recent read, we get into it about parenting and adultism and if the rise of ai is going to lead us back to each other in person. Here's hoping. Enjoy!

From Sunday resets to parasite algorithims (and a Dave cameo) to Mel's work frustrations and adolescent brain development - we've got it all in this weeks ep. Stacked, as the kids would say - would they?

Hey Gang! Today's episode is a full swing from kindle flies to baby's first stage performance to love and sex therapy with Esther Perel and a deep dive into indigenous theory around feminism (from Lynn Smart's 'The Soul of Money') and the bird of humanity to what it means to be the adult in the room and be somewhat trauma-informed in a world that often feels...traumatised? Love you all. Thanks as ever for listening!
