A $6 Public Meltdown
April 04, 2022 19:00 - 40 minutesGem has claws, of the nail art variety and so is an expert, der. But what do you do about the shit (literally) that gets under the nail art? Eew. And while the world falls to shit, we’ve properly lost our minds. Gem had a public shaming (filmed by her mum, lol) in a mall with a screaming toddler and got “saved” by a well meaning onlooker, but did that reward some rubbish behaviour? And are tantrums modern? Or are they a tale as old as time? Then Revz is battling a weird new fear she cannot sh...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : My Wage Won't Cover Daycare
March 31, 2022 18:00 - 24 minutesThis week's caller wants to go back to work but her wage wont cover daycare. Is it worth it? - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note via our Instagram DMs with you dilemma! Gem & Revz x
Full Blown Phone Addict
March 28, 2022 18:00 - 52 minutesWell, we're back in iso (one of us anyway) so we are coming to you remote-record stye today from two different homes. One of which was almost burned down by woo woo last week, so we get into that. Then Gem doesn't have time for phone addiction; hers' or her hubs, but Revz is still a full-blown addict, so what's the way to have the "portal" and a healthy tech-life? We get into bad behaviour at your parent's house, how we want to raise boys who still talk to us and the power of multiple young r...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : Lunchbox Wars
March 24, 2022 23:16 - 15 minutesToday's caller is JUST 👏🏻 DONE 👏🏻 with the lunchbox Police. - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note via our Instagram DMs with you dilemma! Gem & Revz x
What, Is My Obstetrician Not Good Enough For You?
March 21, 2022 18:00 - 49 minutesGem doesn't think she should be a podcast host any more... because of her "new" "celebrity" "crush" and how she only just worked it out. Revz throws out some controversial opinions on her taste in chocolate during shark week which sparks a MAJOR FEUD that goes on too long. And then Gem is back at the annual birthday party dilemma about who you invite and don't invite and how many is too many and what if you wanna post it on INSTAGRAM? WHAT THEN? Revz is not in the mood for this and is not bac...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : Can My Twins Just Stay In Nappies?
March 18, 2022 01:22 - 17 minutesToday's caller is weary at the thought of toilet training her twins and to that we say... DON'T??? - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
Does That Feel Good, Daddy?
March 14, 2022 18:00 - 53 minutesSo, the DLs are rioting about Revz' comments on balayage and there's a mutiny happening in the Facebook group. But we are, frankly, exhausted by all the "on-edge-energy" going round and round (the world). We're calling it jet-lag with a side of whiplash. But enough of platitudes, it's Tuesday and there's shit we don't have time for; today, it's "Toxic Gratitude". Revz has very mixed feelings about this new term, which indeed may be toxic itself, but it put language around what we're all navig...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : Getting Back On The (Dating) Horse?
March 10, 2022 18:00 - 24 minutesThis weeks caller ( A MAN, NO LESS ) is wondering about the apps, about dating, when its time and is it bullshit (spoiler alert, yes.) - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
How To Dress A Man In 10 Steps
March 07, 2022 18:00 - 44 minutesHappy International Women's Day! It's an important, vital and reverent day, so we thought we'd talk about clothes 🤪 and the real-life Barbies in our lives; Men. We all know Gem doesn't want her husband in her bed, but did you know she does want him in certain clothes? How did she do it? ITS A TELL-ALL. Nothing like some reverse sexism on such an important day in the calendar. Also, nail art - is it something we need to get on board with? And seriously, why is it so wonderful to be a woman, de...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : I Want To Outsource My Mental Load
March 03, 2022 18:00 - 23 minutesThis week's caller wants to outsource some mental load but her hubby "won't let her". - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
They Don't Sleep In The Same Bed? 😬
February 28, 2022 18:00 - 42 minutesSo Revzy is fitspo now? Gem is not convinced. Or maybe it's the botox not letting on how she really feels. (Yes, we give a botox update, no, we don't talk about bobo [the dog]). We talk about the return of travel-for-work, followed closely by bin juice and dead flower water. Then, Gem doesn't have time for the idea that sleeping in separate beds is a mark of failure - she thinks it actually might be a #lifehack we all need to explore. Revz' isn't sure, so we hash 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 out. The things we w...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : Can I discipline your jerk kid?
February 24, 2022 18:00 - 20 minutesToday's caller is wondering if she can tell other people's kids where to go if they're being dickheads in front of her kids or if she should leave it well enough alone. - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
Mum-Guilt: As Seen On TV
February 21, 2022 18:00 - 51 minutesGem; you know, Wallet Mum (phone mum) Gem, who can't cook and hates feeding kids? She has to now do lunchboxes and, LOL, it's a lot. Speaking of Domestic Dramas, Neighbours is coming to an end and Gem has some feelings about it. Then Revz doesn't have time for her 7 year old daughter's (maybe not that big of a deal) request and is wrestling with her thoughts about it. Then, Gem is majorly pissed at a particular ad on TV and we get into why it made us both so deeply uncomfortable and cranky. H...
☎️ Bestie Hotline: Co-Habitation Hesitation
February 17, 2022 18:00 - 25 minutesToday's caller is about to move in with her lover... "Any tips" she asks,,,ANY TIPS? - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
Well Look Who's On The Apps
February 14, 2022 18:00 - 48 minutesGem is back from a holiday, a.k.a Parenting With A View, and she's refreshed and ready to drop-kick her kids right back where they belong ; daycare. We open that old can of worms, babysitters; just how are you supposed to get good with leaving your kids at home with a stranger, we really need to know. And well, it's Valentine's Day week, the annual shrug heard around the world, but it's prompted Revz to get back on the horse and so, guess who's on the bloody apps?! It's a jungle out there fol...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : Can I just keep my skinny jeans?
February 10, 2022 22:04 - 15 minutesToday's caller just wants to stay in her skinny jeans please. - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
How Do I Know If I'm Happy?
February 07, 2022 18:00 - 48 minutesSo, Revz is flip-flopping on the fur-ball, which is oddly out of character, but that's kinda the vibe of this year, isn't it? Gem is musing on the sex vibe in her house, and tells us all the 25 stage process she needs to go through before she's "in the mood" (enter sex candle). Revzy has found a new joy in her life, which involves humiliating her kids. Gem has reached the stage with Raffa where she can turn shame into a teaching moment and she's feeling the weight of the responsibility. Gem f...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : Not-Into-It-Nana
February 03, 2022 18:00 - 18 minutesThis week's caller's Mum is not that into being a Grandparent, and while its a boss feminist choice, it still hurts. If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
How Much Is That Disaster In The Window?
January 31, 2022 18:00 - 49 minutesUm, well, BOTH Gem and Revz have started exercising, like, actually doing it and liking it and up is down, you guys. We spend most of our time on a major, major mistake Revz has made, but before that, we get into our "coffee names", Luna New Year, our Chinese Zodiacs (and our yum cha order), how Revz is NOT STUBBORN and Gem's passionate hate of bamboo. We discuss instant attraction, instinct and soul mates (and if we think they exist). Then keep an ear out for a little flashback to a previous...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : School Holidaze
January 27, 2022 18:00 - 20 minutesThis weeks caller doesn't know how to School-Holiday...and neither do we. - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
New Year, Same Us!
January 24, 2022 18:00 - 54 minutesWell, we ghosted you. It wasn't cool. We're sorry, but we know you'll get it. But it's a new year, Besties, and we have things we wanna DO (or in Gem's case, NOT do.) And top of the list? Party. You heard us, we wanna party. Not hang, not chill, not family picnic, we want a blow out, hair down, rager of a party, and we're making plans. Also, Isla is vegetarian, Raffa and Iggy won't sleep, COVID has run rampant and work has gone next level. So, all in all, a new year, but your same hot-mess be...
When Baby Has A Bully
December 13, 2021 18:00 - 48 minutesGem is Spring Cleaning in the most hard core way, but don't you DARE call it nesting, ok?! Her house got "washed" and it broke the internet so now she's on a mission to clean the (her) world. And Revz cleaned a draw. Hurray Revz. Today we wanna know, what do the teachers and carers want for Chrissy and can it be $4.50 only and should it really just be booze? Gem has a better idea. Then we hash out the politics of re-gifting. One of us is all for, and one of us finds it problematic. Then, our ...

F**k The Halls With Boughs Of Bullsh*t
December 06, 2021 18:00 - 47 minutesOmg this week we went OUT! Like, OUT out! We tanned, we frocked, we made an effort. It's a lot. But Gem has a quick q about inclusivity and what is cool and not-cool about "The Holidays". Revz has maybe had the biggest all time Elf on the Shelf fail.. but she also may have saved Christmas; jury is still out and oh my god December is so long. Finally Revz' favourite kids TV show really let her down this week and she needed it much like she needed the cold-sore that errupted just in time to GO ...
What's Your Erotic Language, eh, Gwyneth?
November 29, 2021 18:00 - 51 minutesA-CHOO! Or so starts Gem, chock full of Spring Time allergies. Revzy wants her hair to grow out from Mumsy to something... less...Mumsy... and she has no time to wait. We hash out if hair supplements are really a thing or just a insta-cash cow and how do you say trichologist? No but actually, how do you say it? Then Revz MUST talk about Gwyneth and Sex Love & Goop and somebody STOP her. If you can imagine "sexy" and "gland" co-existing or the sentence "a vagina is not NOT a gill" then you'll ...

Why Not Parent Like You’re Divorced?
November 22, 2021 18:00 - 49 minutesThis week is all about shaking sh*t up and pushing the boundaries of what we're "supposed" to do. BUT FIRST Taylor Swift Boss'd the world and Gem has to talk about it, extensively, or she may burst. Then we hear about Gem's mate who quote unquote "saved her marriage" by living like she's divorced, but staying married... HEAR US OUT... we have a lots of questions but are all for the shake up. Speaking of a shake up, Revz is changing up her parenting week and she's pumped and out of NO WHERE Ge...

Putting the Con in Body Con 👗
November 15, 2021 18:00 - 44 minutesHello, and welcome to another Tuesday in the year that could... we are going there today, we wanna talk about mummy make-overs. That's right, surgery. Would you? Could you? Can you even stomach it (pun intended). Then we wonder, do we dress for women or for men these days which leads us to unpacking Gem's serial monogamy and Revz' new found love of living alone. We cringe about the nightmares of flatmates past and decide to absolutely raise housebound boys. Which reveals some home truths abou...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : No Time For My Girlfriends

Can I Get A Re-Do On The Ring? 💍
November 08, 2021 18:00 - 48 minutesIt's our 50TH episode! And we can't believe we've been with you for almost a year! But first, there's been developments in the bling department and Gem has news. Which gets us to reminiscing about the period in our lives when everyone was getting engaged and all the silly little hilarious lies we told ourselves about "never saw it coming" and "how did he know the ring I wanted" LOL. Then it's back to the work / life struggles in Gem's household and the chairperson needed to call and AGM. Revz...

#ReverseCatfish
November 01, 2021 18:00 - 52 minutesWe've heard on the download (also the internet) that the stars say November is going to be a gnarly bastard for us all, in terms of astrology. While we don't like the sound of that at all, it's *that* time of year again; sugar-fuelled capitalism at its finest! Coming off the back of Halloween and barrelling into the ol' Elf On The Shelf season, we're wondering what is fun and magical and what is a massive pain in the ball sack. Then, Gem has a champagne problem that she can't afford and frank...
It's Time To Re-Enter Society
October 18, 2021 23:09 - 50 minutesSo, it's the first week out of lockdown and we're...remote recording. Why you ask? Well, you can once again blame daycare for everything terrible in our lives. We have a lot going this week, such as being tired, feeling exhausted and other highly attractive, vibrant things a person re-entering society wants to be! Revz is about to start life as a single lady, Gem just wants to hit the children's birthday party scene and there's an incoming GIRLS LUNCH. Revz has had a major parenting misstep A...
Can We Put An End To Gender Reveals?
October 11, 2021 18:00 - 56 minutesSummer is coming, we can feel it in the air and we've decided we're vibing a HOT GIRL SUMMER, or at least, we're gonna force ourselves to vibe it with some over-correcting body-love. Who's in? Teddy is romancing Revz, with love letters and Gem got beautifully schooled by a Boy-Mum, which leads us into a fresh look at gender. Why do we give our boys the gift of independence and over-think the pink on our girls? Time to hash it out. After a good stretchy, brain-hurty exploration, Gem has a huge...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : The Wait Debate
October 07, 2021 18:36 - 17 minutesToday's caller's period is a no show. And we simply cannot work out how she feels about it. If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
Bad-Mum Parenting Nightmares; An Anthology
October 04, 2021 21:00 - 52 minutesWe're here, we're fully vaxxed, and we're so sorry we let you down with the missing episode we thought no one would notice. Turns out you're a highly observant bunch of super sleuths and nothing gets past you, so, kudos, DLs, kudos. But we all want to know, how was the Maccas dirty chai? Won't ruin the scintillating answer here, but it got us thinking, you can tell a lot about a person from their Maccas order; with Gem, its a case of ; stop talking. Then we hear about a truly traumatising inc...
☎️ Bestie Hotline : Stop Crying On Instagram
September 30, 2021 19:00 - 20 minutesThis week's bestie caller has a gripe about people crying on socials, having a whinge and hating their husbands (has she met us?) If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x
I Know I Look Fine, But I'm Not
September 27, 2021 19:00 - 57 minutesWe all know her, maybe we are her, the one who consistently has their sh*t together, the one who can always swing the positive angle, bring the vibes and show up. What happens when she is not coping. Well, "She", is Revz, and Gem was on to it. How do we support someone who is terrible at asking for and receiving help and how do we let go of wanting our girlfriends to read our minds and just ask for emotional support (especially at a time like this when everyone is in the eye of sh*t storm). A...
Get A Fkn Vasectomy, Mate!
September 20, 2021 20:54 - 58 minutesWould it be Tuesday if there wasn’t period cups, mochas and chat about pulling out? (If you asked “of what?” you’ve got the wrong podcast). Today we do NOT have time for taking all the goddamn responsibilities for birth control for our whole damn lives. Like, when does it end? With a vasectomy, that’s when! It makes us rage, RAGE like a full-moon wolf in heat! Aaaaanyway… what is the ideal age gap for your kids? And how cute is it how we all think we can plan it down to the month. Lol, us! A...

Would You Rather : Mum Edition
September 13, 2021 19:00 - 49 minutesToday we're embarking on an exposé of true journalism into the dark web conspiracy that is swooping magpies; more specifically how to beat them, so we don't have to hide under a slide at the park. Somehow, this takes us to weird things that are called out during sex, and yeah, that's a natural segue for us - you're the weird one. Gem is behind on booking her post-lockdown appointments, but Revz is smug (and soon to be beautiful), and then we embark on everyone's favourite game, "Would You Rat...

Do You Really Know Someone Before You Have Kids With Them
September 06, 2021 19:00 - 50 minutesDo you play with your kids? Like actually get down on the ground and play? Cos we're really not sure we have it in us, and is that ok? Or do we suck? And if partners had asked us before becoming parents if we would want to play with our kids, surely it would have been a resounding "OF COURSE!" This deep, PhD leads us to wondering what other things you just can't know about someone before you embark on parenthood with them; like where they fall on the helicopter parent scale and if they're #Te...

When The Perfect Mum Asks for "Advice"
August 30, 2021 19:00 - 45 minutesSometimes you just wanna shake shit up, but do not do it with your coffee order, just ask Gem. And oh shocker, we're back on the topic of Mochas. When will it end? When we all hold hands and accept it as a real coffee, says Gemma. Revz is drowning in life admin and it's killing her vibe. Worst time ever for her accountant to break up with her, but here we are. Gem discusses a potential vow renewal but then, in classic Gem style, kinda talks herself out of it and Revz hatches a plot to end up ...

Just Out Here Projecting Our Sh*t Onto Our Kids
August 23, 2021 19:24 - 1 hourWhat’s better? A hot coffee milkshake or cheap, wet almond milk? DISCUSS! In other very important dissertation, we hash out what exactly constitutes breakfast food, and are Twisties for breakky really a crime when in Locky D (that’s Aussie for Lockdown for our international DLs). Then speaking of food, it’s back - that shifty, slimy body image monster. It’s poking its head up again in what feels like a lifelong game of whack-a-mole. But we’re staying positive and betting that our 40s are goin...
When An Algorithm Writes Your Friendship Drama
August 16, 2021 19:00 - 1 hourSo Billie Eilish dropped an album and naturally Gem has a 12 step process. The results are mixed but she’s not giving up. Classic workaholic (but don’t say that word around her). We try and work out the collective noun for the most popular animal from last week’s game, and we go deeper into our psyches with an OFFICAL enneagram test session. Turns out we’re definitely in a simulation, so there’s that, and frankly, it explains a lot (like our *entire* friendship) and potentially the state of t...
This Week Has Major LDE
August 09, 2021 19:00 - 54 minutesYou heard right, we're brimming with LDE, Lock Down Energy. We're pretty sure we're stuck here forever, so can we be shit at parenting and shit at our jobs forever? We think not. Don't even think a Quarter is acceptable tbh, but here we are. Gem is now Russian, deal with it. We perform a major thought experiment in the woods. and we want you to come along with us... like, in your mind, obvz. Finally, who's your sex icon, cos Gem's is practically Ned Flanders at this point and Revz is turned o...
