Trolled By Your Toddler

April 22, 2024 19:00 - 57 minutes

Has your child accidentally booty called someone late at night, or FaceTimed your boss in the wee hours of the morning? Cos, same. Same. In this week’s theme of absolute calamity and chaos, Revz made an accidental order that proved rather expensive (and embarrassing), and then got borderline scammed in a consignment store. Gem is doing some serious soul searching (hello 7 year itch!) and it’s leading her to some really interesting places - asking lots of curly questions of herself! Some very ...

Are Gen X the Best Parents?

April 15, 2024 19:00 - 54 minutes

Well, it’s getting colder in Sydney and Revz has a gripe…#closethebed, Gem is dismayed at her kid’s lack of sh*ts when it comes to her opinion (or downright disdain, frankly) and Revz is a smug reformed girlie again. But let’s get down to it, Gem wants to share a story but is feeling mightily self conscious thanks to some online judgement that’s given her pause. We ponder on why the zoomers date how they do, and who’s to thank for their progressive attitudes to sex and dating, and we wonder i...

The Mum-Guilt Is Peaking

April 08, 2024 19:00 - 47 minutes

Well, it’s bring your kids to work day as sickness has descended on Revz’s home. But we soldier on! Gem’s kids have hit a new mode (well, for this week anyway) and Gem is HERE for it. Revz is absolutely side-swiped by Mum-Guilt(TM) this week and she really needs to get into it with us all. When is school going to be set up for working parents? Or do we all just need to get comfortable with the uncomfortable (NO THANKS!). Some very lush #notspons and a whole lot of bestie love this week. Thank...

Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

April 01, 2024 18:00 - 50 minutes

Did you know there’s a lady that will come and de-louse your whole family? What a job. Essential, but truly horrific. Raffa is trying to be on another podcast and are we raising a little show baby here? Then Gem has a rogue (not to her) new crush and Revz is confused. And you all FLOODED our inbox after Revz shared her niche phobia (which has now been diagnosed by the internet and she did INDEED find her subreddits) and so we wanna go through some of the weird and wonderful fears that keep yo...

What Do I Bring To Your BBQ in 2024?

March 25, 2024 18:00 - 56 minutes

Kicking off this Tuesday with a couple of retractions cos apparently our brains have left the building. Is it post-partum? Is it Term 1 craziness, is it low iron levels? Surely there’s something we can blame? Then Revz has a non-retraction (think they call that a double-down) and QUIET DOWN INTERNET, OK? Now that’s done, Gem doesn’t have time for people messing with the social contract of how we host. Well, at least that’s how she starts out, buried under a mountain of ShouldsTM, guilt and pr...

The Hierarchy Of Birthing Styles

March 18, 2024 18:00 - 52 minutes

Well, we are UP to mischief, DLs. And you know we’re gonna over-share about it, because at this point we are quite literally professional over-sharers. But first up today, do men do everything in reverse from us? Including thinking? Gem thinks so. Gem also thinks Revz is just putting too much pressure on the people in her life and she needs it to stop. Revz is on a mission to get a rather questionable side-hustle started and she’s apparently crowd-sourcing the marketing plan. And Gem does not...

☎️ Bestie Hotline : Should I Cut All My Hair Off?

Am I “Normal” Ragey or, like, Problem Ragey?

March 11, 2024 18:00 - 49 minutes

Well it’s a hellfire week (do we just call this Tuesday?) this week. The house of cards has well and truly crumbled and we’re at the bottom of the pile asking “how do we keep this high vibes?”. Gem has been dodging and re-dodging sickness and schedule nightmares and Revz is navigating a new frontier in hormonal upheaval. Yep, we’re back to obsessing about testosterone, oestrogen, sleep, temperates.. and weren’t we done with this era? (Cycle says no). Then Revz admits something she’s always be...

Chronic Parenting Fatigue

March 04, 2024 18:00 - 57 minutes

Well, well, well, someone dressed up (a.k.a did their hair) for today’s record and someone (cough, cough, Gem) isn’t happy about it. Then Revz recently revealed her one and only phobia to her partner and it reminded us of her straight weirdness. Gem needs to help because Revz can barely say it out loud. Then Gem’s friend went on a WILD date and has given permission for us to share a bananas dating story with you. Gross out warning, it’s a really *filthy* story. Then Revz is struggling with da...

☎️ Bestie Hotline : He Jacked off Next To Me

February 29, 2024 18:00 - 20 minutes

This week's DL has got a major ick over her husband's poor choice.

A Tuesday Episode (Taylor’s Version)

February 26, 2024 18:00 - 1 hour

Stop EVERYTHING. We both got to go to the Eras Tour over the weekend and we simply must debrief, breakdown and dissect everything from our individual experiences (to Isla's experience) to the theatricality, business side and frankly how “glowing” she is. No Taylor stone un-turned gang. It’s your eras ep.

She’s Just So Jealous

February 19, 2024 18:00 - 1 hour

First up, Gem has some random facts and then follows it up with some utter BS stemming from her imposter syndrome. HELLO TUESDAY! Then Revz had a curious run in with a very beautiful man on Airtasker that ended in hilarity. Gem calls Revz out for her international dating history and Revz throws a bit of shade towards the Aussie bloke (ducks for cover). This week Gem doesn’t have time for her daughter’s jealousy, which has really ramped up in light of her brother getting some attention. Revz f...

☎️ Bestie Hotline: Is Hating My Husband… Permanent?

February 15, 2024 18:00 - 30 minutes

This week’s caller is wondering if it’s just the trenches or the marriage death nell. 

The Episode We Finally Get Cancelled

February 12, 2024 18:00 - 1 hour

Ol’ Cam Diaz is piggybacking off Gem’s marriage philosophy. She must be a DL. Then Gem is ruing the day she named her son after yet another official trip to the doctor’s office and Revz wants to know why she did indeed dig in with the name. Then, are Voice Noters narcissistic? Cos that makes two of us. Gem has a real theory about this and Revz ain’t so sure. And then (shut your ears Boomers) can we talk about voicemail from your folks? It's not alright. Gem doesn’t have time for her new docto...

☎️ Bestie Hotline : Can You Talk About Saltburn, Already?

February 08, 2024 18:00 - 32 minutes

Today’s caller is annoyed we teased and never discussed Saltburn and it’s making her rage.

Judging, But Not Judging

February 05, 2024 18:00 - 53 minutes

Can you teach your kid to whistle? Well, lucky Mama Gem is here to give us all the steps to get your toddlers whistle game strong. Then Revz is dirty that her natural hair colour is having a moment, way too far past the point of being able to rock natural. Speaking of hair, Gem has found her dream low maintenance hairdresser with a battle-style technique she deeply respects. Then Revz is navigating her son’s style choices and Gem had a very confronting experience on a flight with kids. We cov...

☎️ Bestie Hotline : No, You Can't Bring Your Boy To Brunch.

February 01, 2024 18:00 - 28 minutes

Today’s caller needs to protect her sacred girls brunch. 

The Trenches Be Trenching

January 29, 2024 18:00 - 58 minutes

We’re back, basic b*tches! We’re BACK! And we’ve added a visual element to our show and it’s making us kinda mad at ourselves and pondering if our true Gutter Goblin energy is at risk. Revz has been holiday cramming and resting for Australia and she’s reinvigorated and ready (even to learn new gen alpha vernacular). Whereas Gem’s inner perfectionist doesn’t feel she “nailed” the break. And like all the damn children (who are going crazy) Gem maybe needs to go back to school and learn the diff...

The 40 by 40 List

December 25, 2023 18:00 - 55 minutes

DLs, this is the last ep for 2023, where did it all go etc.. etc… firstly, is turkey overrated? We discuss, then Gem is getting into Boxing Day sales and it’s the dopamine download we all asked for.  Revz is holidaying so hard it hurts this year including a whole meet the fam situation and speaking of fam, a wee update on Gem’s third dependent. Then Revz doesn’t have time for shopping for Isla in the in between stage that hit her style vibes (but she perseveres) and Gem DOES have time for dre...

Shamed in the School WhatsApp Group

December 18, 2023 18:00 - 46 minutes

Happy Birthday Gem! Another year edging towards a glorious state of decay... 38 and feeling great. And in a birthday back flip gem is now hard into Elf on the Shelf.... who saw that coming? (everyone) Revz doesn't have time for her ovulation pain, the sneaky cousin of period pain that seems to be hanging around a lot more frequently these days and she wants to know if this is normal or if something its going on. Then Revz got shamed in the class WhatsApp and Gem is mighty furious about it. Sp...

☎️ Bestie Hotline : Farm Of Lies; He's Cheating and I Know It

December 14, 2023 18:00 - 15 minutes

One of the juiciest, trickiest dilemons we have ever had to squeeze. Straight from the live Xmas show.

Gem’s Surprise Third Child (keep calm…)

December 11, 2023 18:00 - 49 minutes

Well this is our 150th Tuesday episode ever, isn’t that WILD?! It’s a lot of talking, but we still have more to say… Gem is back into an old ritual and Revz is thoroughly unconvinced. Revz doesn’t have time for a chill weekend she tried to have and wasn’t at all allowed to have because of varying factors and then Gem regales us all with the Drama of a Third Dependent, and walks us through exactly what happened to poor Hubs! Merry Christmas Gem, who now has a 3rd person to care for, December b...

A Slice of Humble Christmas Pie

December 04, 2023 18:00 - 48 minutes

Raffa has subscribed Gem to all sorts of nonsense and how do we wrangle these devices we let our kids drive, guys, it’s a Wild West out there! We’re getting psyched / shitting our pants for the LIVE Christmas Special this weekend and so we talk about that (but don’t worry not too much 😅) And then Gem doesn’t have time for being chronically late which triggers a little recall from Revz about this time last year. Which does really make us think about how all our silly little brains work, especi...

Won’t Somebody Think of the Husbands

November 27, 2023 18:00 - 52 minutes

First up, after giving Gem shade for her kids “kidnap” hair for ever, Teddy is joining the long haired club and Revz is... into it. We’re back in show-mode and it’s giving dance boot camp with a side of tinsel. Raffa wants a keyboard and Revz has warnings for Gem about this. Then Revz doesn’t have time for her complex relationship with her beauty standards bullshit, and Gem wants to talk about a comment in our Facebook group that threw a cat amongst our beautiful DL pigeons. It’s a big and po...

Why Would You Seat Me Next To This Guy?

November 20, 2023 18:00 - 53 minutes

Hello you gorgeous DLs! It’s another Tuesday with your girls, gearing up to be back in show mode (cha, cha, cha!) But to bring us all fightback down to earth, you won’t believe what Revz has gone and done, even with all the warning in the world from Gem and it has her money (and pride) flying out the window. Then Gem had an almost catastrophic social run-in that she fixed in a truly miraculous back-flip. Revz doesn’t have time for a certain lolly that did a number on her Teddy boy and Gem doe...

☎️ Bestie Hotline : It's a No(vember) From Me

November 16, 2023 18:00 - 15 minutes

Today's caller is really turned off by her husband's sartorial facial choices…

Gemma, We Absolutely Do Not Have Time For That…

November 13, 2023 18:00 - 48 minutes

Hello legends, it is still, just, 2023 apparently although it’s whipping away with a certain fever! Gem has some exciting family news but she’s still making 10pm phone calls with plans she 100% doesn’t have time for. Then, following on from our travel hack D&M episode, Gem doesn’t have time for people (ahem) with Travel Day Anxiety and it’s giving Daddy Issues. Some controversial #notspons and a lot of contradictory feelings today, so strap on in! Notspons: Gem: Native Shoes https://www.nat...

This Is A Bad Root

November 06, 2023 18:00 - 55 minutes

Starting the week off with a retraction and an apology. Oh no, not one for Revz, but other pod team members. Then Revz is getting us cancelled (again) by taking on a controversial topic. Then Gem has set a borderline not-ok challenge for Revz through the Silly Season and it feels, well, a bit wrong. Maybe DLs can help. Then in a total gear shift, Gem has been pondering her early school life through Raffa’s school orientation process and it’s brought up a lot of repressed memories that make a ...

The Woo Woo Backflip No One Saw Coming

October 30, 2023 18:00 - 47 minutes

Well, we have the ghost update nobody wants about Revzy’s haunted home just to start the day off right. Then Gem’s perturbed at her daughter’s changing accent but what’s really grinding her gears is Revz…having a favourite..stay with us…colour? This is a weird place DLs, but stay with us as we get into “Purple Ladies”. Then Revz doesn’t have time for rogue cycles and is dreaming of taking it all into her own very capable, very feminist, wildly unnecessary hands. Then Gem does a philosophical ...

Tell Me That's Not A Ghost

October 23, 2023 18:00 - 52 minutes

Well, well, well, look who’s an absolute croc of sh*t.. looking at you Gemma (and your kids footwear). Gem is still battling a lurgy but she’s trying to dress like she’s fighting fit, which leads us to the old cost-per-wear argument aka Girl Math. And Revz has a fashion hack that she thinks is legit but Gem thinks is questionable. We have a Raffa ear piercing update with a side of Lindsay Lohan and Gem asks Revz some curly(ish) questions. Then Revz doesn’t have time for an uninvited guest in ...

We Are Ick-Tok

October 16, 2023 18:00 - 53 minutes

**A note before we begin that this episode was recorded over a week ago before events in the Middle East and the Australian Referendum. We want to acknowledge the darkness in the world and our communities right now, and that this episode does not deal with that context.** First up Gem has experienced the hack of all hacks when it comes to kids birthday party presents and we all need to get on this. Gem doesn’t have time for Raffa wanting her get her ears “adorned with jewels” (ok, nerd) and ...

Are Soulmates Real, Though?

October 09, 2023 18:00 - 57 minutes

Revz has officially been a parent for 9 years today. Woah. That’s a while to still not be an expert. Gem is on holiday, it’s fine, we’re not that jealous, but we weren’t going to leave you hanging without us DLs, so we’re here. But, strap yourselves in, Gem needs to talk about an album. So make a cup of tea. And this leads to Gem’s unearthing of some feelings over text messages. Gem doesn’t have time for being a sweaty Betty but trying to move to a natural deodorant. So then we pick up a conv...
