We also talk about our new friend Kate Beckinsale, Monty tells us about her son's unconventional school camp, we reminisce about our own school camp days, and whether teachers really are getting up to mischief when the lights go out like we thought.

Gloriously simple skin care routine for you!
We sat down and had a chat with a real-life Doctor of Skinnnn (also known as a dermatologist). Her name is Dr Eshini Perera, and she is delightful and full to the brim with skincare knowledge.

This week, Monty tells us about the upcoming holiday that will leave 3/4 of her family disappointed, her plans to take the Byron Bay wedding industry by storm, and Mel floats two of her self-declared 'amazing ideas' involving cake, and porn. But not together.
We hear some classic Dolly Doctor questions from back in the day, and one of them takes us straight to the gates of blowjob city, where dentists, major illness, and a classic po...
Can Men and Women Ever Be 'Just Friends?'

Squats and a Snot Block
This week, an attempt to get more movement in backfires on one of us, and the other has lost her exercise mojo for her go-to staple. Mel calls herself out on some judgemental (and ageist) thoughts on a recent fashion choice from queen Madonna, and we giggle over her fabulous NSFW bathroom knick knack collection.
Monty’s in the depths of a retro food obsession, has found love with her new kitchen appliance, and a question about marine biology sends us down memory lane, leading us to a VERY nostalgic recycling campaign. Enjoy!

Aunty Kez in the hot seat
Mel is having one more week off, so I roped one of my besties, Aunty Kez, into the hot seat.
We chat about THAT Lenny Kravitz incident, Kendall Jenner getting a sauso roll from our local bakery, and a TV and podcast recommendation you'll love.
Mel will be back next week.

A Very Cringey Conundrum
This week, Monty kicks us off with an innocent, but NQR-sounding observation she made at her son's recent footy game that we both agree would sound VERY different if it came from a man.

Playdate Etiquette
This week, Monty’s rocking a new playlist to help with her insomnia, and it features a 90’s icon we haven’t heard about it YONKS, and it reminds Mel of a weirdly specific genre of music we’d almost forgotten about. Monty tells us about having to do the worst job at her son’s footy match, and we manage to simultaneously sing the praises AND shit-can parents at junior sport.
Monty’s little boy Otie had his first in-house playdate, and she asks whether the ‘activity’ she almost suggested was weird or not, and Mel finishes us off...
The Loveogy
This week, we're talking about the joy of team sports, Lena Dunham's new book and why the Michael Jackson movie feels NQR to us. There's also the new 'maxxing' trend that is so dumb we can't quite believe it, chest hair is hot again, the sad and brave death of James Valentine, and Mel delivers Monty's eulogy aka 'loveogy'.

Double the Fun

Monty's Wedding
This week, we take 'mixed bag' to a whole new level, kicking off with Monty's love of gyoza and Sydney Sweeney, parenting advice from Machine Gun Kelly, why Pete Davidson is hot, and a round of Celebrity Age Game that blew Mel's socks off.
Mel judges Monty for her selfish 'dick moves', Monty judges Mel for asking a stupid question that calls their friendship into question, and we challenge each other to perform the grimmest challenge ever. Enjoy!

A Prolapse and a Power Cry
This week, Monty has started jogging and it has backfired spectacularly, with an unsolicited critique of her form, and a very uncomfortable pelvic floor issue. Dr Mel provides her unqualified medical advice, including a great app suggestion, a stern lecture, and a five star constipation hack.
Monty's considering the most retro car accessory of all time, and Mel shares the one big drawback of what has been deemed the ultimate act of self-care in 2026 - the 'power cry.' Enjoy!

Ding Dong
This week, we both have the stench of embarrassment on us... one because of a social rejection involving a musical legend, and the other because she literally stinks. 😂 We share our differing opinions on the increasingly tiny frames of high profile women, and if they have a responsibility to the messaging it sends to other women, the strange celeb 'romantic' jewellery piece, the unhappiest time of your life and the song that'll apparently make it rain cash. Enjoy!

Very Superstitious
This week, we kick off with a bit of Fire Horse chat with a side of wtichy wog curse energy, which Mel's mad for, but Monty isn't buying in to. We chat about the a Sydney guy's attempt to bring back the rave with a MAJOR twist on the ones we grew up with in the 90s. Speaking of, one half of an Aussie couple who was rarely seen without her leotard back in the day triggered a memory for aerobics queen Monts, and something revolting happened to Mel when she was jazzing up her jewellery. Enjoy!

Story Time with Aunty Kez
WARNING: The last segment of this episode contains conversation around suicide.
This week, we talk about songs you’re embarrassed to admit are on your playlist, the hell of being backed-up on holiday, and we welcome Aunty Kez for a special segment, where she delivers some story time gold that had us in fits.

We remember the ridiculous body shaming of Nicole Richie, Monty's failure to commit to MAFS has her feeling left out, and Mel can’t come to terms with her husband’s inability to remember the man at the centre of a shocking 90’s tragedy.
We also talk about Victoria's move to allow GPs to treat and diagnose ADHD, Mel shares three batshit crazy stories she heard this week that involve penis injections, periods and a shocking sex s...
Rhinestone Cowboy
This week, it’s off to a rocky start thanks to our self-sabotaging selves as we share a little pod update, then crack into whether Wuthering Heights stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s seemingly VERY deep love for one another is a bitttttttt too much.
There’s also movie sex scenes, a new celeb musical, the crazy price of seeing Harry Styles, the return of a Body Shop fave, Monty’s criminal past, and how the unbelievable bravery of the boy who attempted to save his friend from the recent Bondi shark attacks made Mel realise what a co...
