Gem Needs To Die With The Lie
First up, life admin! Worm your kids every term cos that’s another thing we simply don’t have time for. Then, Gem has a parenting moment so shameful she’s taking Raffa down with her. Brace yourselves. And finally, we all know Yai is the gold standard of Mums, Grandmothers and Mother-in-Laws, so let’s unpack our own MIL goals despite having absolutely no experience in the matter. Just vibes, delusion and a dream. Happy Tuesday, DLs x

Imagine being on death row, only for your execution not to work.

Night Nanny With A Side Of Shame
The bad news is we had a technical glitch and lost our audio files, the good news is we extracted the video audio so we didn't leave you without an ep this week.
A night nanny sounds like the dream, so why does accepting help come with a complimentary side of shame and guilt? Today we’re unpacking the weird pressure to do it all, the judgement around outsourcing the night shift and why exhausted mums simply cannot win. Let’s discuss, DLs.

The Third Child Conspiracy
Ok, so apparently third babies are usually a “surprise”. But is this an actual phenomenon, a wildly convenient excuse, or have parents simply stopped pretending they know how babies are made by round three? Let’s unpack the third-child theory. And while we’re here, we reminisce about the good, the beautiful and the mostly very difficult reality of our newborn life. Happy Tuesday, DLs!

The Fifth Trimester: Why Hayden Panettiere’s Death Has Rocked Millennials
Hollywood actress Hayden Panettiere has tragically died at just 36 years old from a suspected overdose. She was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday, August 16. A true millennial icon, Hayden began acting as a child and broke through in Remember the Titans at just 10 years old, before going on to star in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise. Bella is joined by Gem to unpack the devastating news in real time, reflecting on Hayden’s extraordinary career, the darker side of growing up in the Hollywood machine, and the complicated intersection of child stardom, exploitation and...

What’s with the Parents On the Sidelines?
Canberra, here we come! We are mere DAYS away from hitting the stage with our Know Thyself show, and our excitement levels have officially reached pants-wetting territory. Meanwhile, Revz may or may not have almost burnt down her house… again. Teddy is absolutely devastated after losing his favourite PJs, Isla’s first stint as a referee may also have been her last, jaw-on-the-floor moment incoming, and Iggy has officially become the most indecisive child alive, which is reeeeally testing Gem’s patience. Big feelings, questionable decisions and pre-show chaos. So, standard.

The Dance Mum's Lament
Life is absolutely LIFE-ING and, frankly, we'd like to speak to management. With showtime looming, we're operating somewhere between "is it too much?" and "we've got this." Meanwhile, Isla's latest school assignment has Revz asking why the cost-of-living crisis hasn't made its way into primary school homework, and Gem's accidentally entered the elite, bedazzled fever dream that is the solo dance competition world. Fake lashes, fake tan, too many rhinestones and an unsettling feeling. Let's unpack.

I'm Yucking Your Yum
Holiday debriefs are in and let's just say our top travel tips are probably not the ones you'll find on Instagram. We chat live show prep, why Revz is suddenly feeling very nervous, and settle the age old debate of folding versus hanging because apparently this is what adulthood has come to. Then Gem reveals the one thing guaranteed to send her into a full body spiral, feet. Too many feet. Far too much foot chat.

Kicking off today's ep with a little PSA... your kids are listening. And according to science, they believe everything they overhear, so make it count. Quick quezzie, does your family have a theme?

Revz has a bone to pick with the school canteen and how good was the hot cheese roll? Speaking of heaven, Gem went on a sensory adventure to the Epicurean buffet, before falling headfirst into her personal hell; life admin. Happy Tuesday DLs x

How do you measure distance in your head? Blue whales? Swimming pools? Or are you like Gem who can somehow just feel a kilometre? We check in on Revz's new love and whether Gem's finally caught up. Then, Gem has a bone to pick with Gen Z because the vibes are off and the forward energy seems to be MIA. Plus, why does theatre feel like it's on life support? Can we blame cozzie livs for absolutely everything, and, as always, this episode ends up nowhere near where we started.
