Never Worked So Hard to Disappoint So Many People
Ok, full disclosure, we are a little loose this week, coming off the back of technical poddy issues and #dummygate, we are two sleep-deprived zombies. But we're here! And we're talking about Gem 'copping some crit' on the gram via the Mum Police and exactly how dummy weaning went down in her household. Revz has been knocked for six by a meme, and look, it's made her spiral. As if a brutal meme wasn't enough, we also heard a bang on quote and it's just so real, you guys. Gem had a shocking run-in with a Mansplainer which begs the question... Should anyone ever put up with a toxic work culture? Spoiler alert; no, but it's never that easy, is it? Finally, can we just stop waiting for life to get easier? Is it time to lean in to the manic hustle and just own it?

Mum Guilt In Flour And Icing
We kick this week off addressing a call-out we got via DMs about beauty, but don’t worry it quickly descends into scrotox and deflect, deflect... LOOK OVER THERE, it's kids party time for us both and we sit on very different sides of the cake aisle. Gem puts on the Outsourcing Queen crown, Revz goes full art director. We don’t have time for extra-curricular craft being assigned outside of school hours. Then we take a trip down memory lane to a whack time we went to... wait for it... RUSSIA. Yet another romp with your basic Tuesday besties. And if you haven't spotted a typo in all of this... Gem was here.

Ask Us Anything (Unless It's About Drunk Shoppi...
We're flipping the script this week, cos we wanted to open it up to you, Dear Listeners, in an Ask Me Anything, poddy style! But first, the Easter Bunny is coming for Raffa's dummy and Gem is shitting herself for what's to come. Revz has a little baby klepto on her hands which is probably not a sign of intelligence, although, watch us spin it that way. We talk drunk online shopping and even circle around the cauldron of kids s l e e p. We get into all your quezzies including what success means to us, and more importantly, where do we get our hair done. All in all, another hour with your favourite basic bitches.

When You Run Into Your Ex Looking *Fire Emoji*
Have you ever run into your ex? Let me rephrase, have you ever run into your ex looking *Fire Emoji*. Well sometimes, just sometimes, life serves up a just dessert, and this happened to "Us" this week and "We" were both there for it and we may have merged into the one person at this point. Gem also experienced another parenting first / rite of passage and arrived at a pretty awkies realisation about herself that she needs to unpack. Revz is pissed that ALL the family gifting falls on her, even for her in laws, so we get into that and somehow end up at another layer of guilt involving sustainability. Wow, we did it again, we went everywhere.

Getting Paid to Overshare
Drama, Drama, Drama! We had our first on-air fight over, wait for it, Harry & Meghan. Its the Brit v The Republican and spoiler alert, nobody wins. In the theme of confrontation, Gem tells us about an aggressive blow-up at her local playground and then in some kind of weird non sequitur we get into the hot topic of sharing your life on the internet - we reminisce about life pre-social media and then get hella scared for the children. THE CHILDREN! Finally, Revz forced Gem into a 'salacious' tell-all about what really happens behind the scenes of influencing and what-was-this-episode-about? Life...oh, life! ohhhh li-ife, OH LIFE. Doo doo doo doo.

Let's Talk About Sex, (After) Baby
We're all thinking it, how much sex is everyone having? Well, not everyone everyone, more like, everyone with young kids who's been together for a while and is, well, tired AF. How much? Cos we feel like people are lying and that it's the new insta-status to be boinking for Australia. So, is it a sign of the quality of your relationship and just when is the perfect time, amongst all the other things we don't have time for? We just wanna get into it, and by it, we mean the topic, not the actual sex thing. That's tiring.

The Difference Between Boys & Girls
We kick off today's show with some pass-ag gifting and then, oh what a surprise, Gem has another s#^t story to share about some #funkyjunk. Which gets us thinking, what are the differences between boys and girls and once again, does it really matter? Gem gets a boner for Malcom Gladwell and Revz is so over all the mums forecasting her motherhood experience. Will she make it to 7pm on yet another groundhog day? We check ourselves over how many times we've uttered the phrase "oh you think it's hard now..." and we end with a feud over interior design. We also ignore all your DMs about why dogs are amazing, so you should probably troll us over on the Facebook Group.
