Wine Chats Podcast

In this episode of WineChats, Billi and Lyndsey ditch their usual planned topics and dive into the biggest stories they've been hearing about lately. From celebrity controversies and disappointing Kardashian products to a tragic plane crash and the chaos of social media, nothing is off the table!

The conversation kicks off with a taste of Pepperjack's new Bitter Orange Spritz before getting into the controversy surrounding Russell Brand, his conviction and sentencing, the allegations against him, and the disturbing history that has resurfaced. The girls discuss the people who continue to defend celebrities accused or convicted of...

In this episode of WineChats, Billi and Lyndsey discuss the shocking case of Christa Pike, whose lethal injection execution in Tennessee failed after she had spent nearly 30 years on death row. What happens when an execution doesn't go to plan, and what are the legal and ethical consequences when the state has to save the life of someone it was attempting to execute?

The conversation explores the details of the botched execution, why prison officials had to provide emergency medical care, and what could happen next. Billi and Lyndsey also debate the death penalty...

EP 29 of WineChats takes a spooky turn as Billi and Lyndsey dive into the world of mediums, spirits, death, dreams and signs from the other side — all while drinking wine.

Lyndsey kicks things off by sharing her experience attending a live medium reading with Peter Williams, where she went in wanting to find out whether the experience was actually legitimate. She recounts several readings, including a man who appeared to channel the personality and mannerisms of a deceased woman's ex-boyfriend, including details about his red sneakers and the circumstances surrounding his accidental overdose.

The biggest mo...

In Episode 28, Billy and Lindsay dive into a very candid and hilarious conversation about “pussy whipped” men — and what happens when one partner has too much control over the other’s choices, time, friendships and independence.

They discuss the difference between healthy consideration and actually needing permission in a relationship. For them, checking the family calendar and making sure plans don't clash is normal, but having to ask a partner for permission to see friends, go on a boys’ trip, go fishing or make everyday decisions is where they draw the line.

The conversation gets personal a...

EP 27 is a funny, very relatable conversation between Billy and Lindsay about the small, ridiculous things that absolutely drive them insane—the kind of pet peeves that probably shouldn’t matter, but somehow “boil your blood.”

The episode kicks off with their usual banter before they introduce the topic and get sidetracked by a 2025 Lover’s Grave Shiraz, which they absolutely love. They describe it as rich, smooth, full of plum and dark berry flavours, and even call it the best Shiraz they've had.

Then they dive into their list of pe...

In Episode 26 of WineChats, Billi and Lyndsey crack open a bottle of wine and dive into the world of bad neighbors—from annoying little habits to truly bizarre neighborhood stories.

It all starts when Billi's Amazon package is accidentally delivered to a neighbor's house. After the package disappears for several days, another neighbor eventually returns it—already opened—despite Billi's name and address being clearly printed on the box. What was inside? A hair volumizing spray. The unnecessarily dramatic package mystery becomes the perfect excuse for the pair to dedicate the episode to bad neighb...

Are we bad parents? Maybe. 😂

In this episode of Wine Chats, Lindsay and Billy confess the parenting moments that have made them question themselves, from taking their moods out on their kids and holding grudges after an argument, to letting kids watch age inappropriate movies, avoiding the awkward sex talk and taking them out of school for a fun day.

They also get very honest about missing important school events, wondering who their kids really are outside the home and the terrifying question every parent eventually asks: did we actually raise them wel...

WineChats Episode 24 takes a much darker and more serious turn as Billi and Lyndsey discuss the ongoing trial of Lindsay Clancy, a mother accused of killing her three young children before attempting suicide. They begin by acknowledging how sensitive and confronting the case is, while making it clear that they are discussing it as two women trying to understand an incredibly complicated situation.

The conversation focuses heavily on postpartum mental health, the medical system, medication and whether enough was done to help Clancy before the tragedy occurred. They discuss her documented struggles, the different...

This episode of WineChats dives into one of the hosts' biggest travel dealbreakers: cruises. What starts with a wine tasting quickly turns into an entertaining but surprisingly detailed discussion about why Billi and Lyndsey have absolutely no interest in setting foot on a cruise ship.

The episode begins with the hosts tasting a 2025 Pinot Noir from Western Australia's Pemberton region, sharing their thoughts on lighter red wines, their personal preferences, and the touching story printed on the bottle's label before the conversation shifts to travel. 

From there, they explain why cruises have never appealed to t...

The conversation explores everything from winter skin struggles and upper lip lines to SPF, moisturisers, peptides, foundations for mature skin, and why...

In this deeply emotional episode of WineChats, Billi and Lyndsey set aside their usual light-hearted conversations to discuss one of the hardest experiences many pet owners face: losing a beloved pet. After introducing their new wine sponsor, Naked Wines, and tasting a 2025 Chardonnay, the tone quickly shifts as Lyndsey shares the heartbreaking story of saying goodbye to her dog, Frankie, who had been part of her family for nearly 13 years.

Lyndsey recounts Frankie's final days, from what initially seemed like a routine arthritis flare-up to a rapid decline that forced her family to make...

In this episode we're talking about the show that seems to have taken over everyone's lives... Off Campus. While Billi is doing everything she can to resist the hype, Lyndsey has fully fallen down the rabbit hole and is here to explain why women everywhere can't stop thinking about Garrett, Hannah, and the love story that's left the internet completely obsessed.

We chat about why this series has struck such an emotional chord, the unexpected feelings of nostalgia and longing it creates, healthy relationships in modern romance stories, and why so many women are suddenly wishing they'd...

In this episode we dive into one of the internet’s strangest and most controversial corners… the world of feeders, fat admirers, and food-related fetishes. After Lyndsey attempted to watch a documentary she couldn’t even finish, she and Billi found themselves with way too many thoughts not to share. We unpack the difference between attraction and fetish, discuss feeder relationships and the ethics behind them, and react in real time to some truly confronting content. We also go down the rabbit hole of mukbang culture, food challenge creators, and why millions of people are fascinated by watching others eat. I...

In this episode we dive into one of the internet’s weirdest rabbit holes… shared dreams. It starts with a viral TikTok trend about people dreaming of the exact same disgusting public bathrooms, but quickly spirals into recurring dream theories, dream psychology, mysterious “Mall World,” and whether thousands of strangers could somehow be experiencing the same dreamscape.

While Billi is convinced there might be something deeper connecting us through our dreams, Lyndsey is determined to bring things back to reality with science, psychology, and a healthy dose of skepticism. We unpack why so many people d...

In this episode of WineChats, we tackle a topic that is equal parts heartbreaking, infuriating, and deeply important: what happens when women report abuse, assault, or violence and aren’t believed. Inspired by true crime documentaries, real court cases, and recent headlines from around the world, Billi and Lyndsey explore the devastating reality many victims face when they turn to the very systems that are supposed to protect them.

We discuss shocking cases where warning signs were missed, victims were dismissed, and offenders were given second chances while survivors were left to carry the consequences. From police in...

In this episode, we dive into two of the biggest reality TV stories making headlines right now.

First, we unpack the disturbing allegations that have emerged around the UK version of Married at First Sight. We discuss the claims made by former contestants, the responsibility of production companies, the role of reality TV in creating high-pressure environments, and the broader conversation around consent, accountability, and participant safety. It’s an emotional and thought-provoking discussion about where entertainment crosses the line.

Then we switch gears and head to the glamorous world of Selling Sunset. With a ne...

In this episode we revisit one of the internet’s biggest viral moments the Coldplay concert video that had everyone convinced they had witnessed a cheating scandal in real time. But after hearing more details from later interviews and public conversations, we realised the story people ran with might not have been the full story at all.

We talk about what actually came out after the viral moment, how quickly people create narratives online, and whether public reactions crossed the line from gossip into something much darker. We discuss internet pile-ons, public humiliation, workplace dy...

In this episode, Billi takes Lyndsey deep into one of the most unsettling conspiracy rabbit holes on the internet… the mystery of missing scientists, secret government research, CERN, timeline resets, and the Mandela Effect. What starts as a spooky conversation quickly spirals into questions about anti-gravity technology, future humans, parallel universes, and whether reality itself may have changed after 2012.

Billi unpacks the growing theories surrounding elite scientists vanishing under bizarre circumstances, including researchers connected to nuclear science, aerospace engineering, and UFO investigations. Meanwhile, Lyndsey attempts to stay grounded through the chaos… but even she star...

In this episode, we dive into the chaos, pressure, expectations, and emotions surrounding Mother’s Day. While Billi and Lyndsey hilariously unpack the worst Mother’s Day gifts imaginable from cheap chocolates and tacky beauty sets to husbands forgetting the day entirely the conversation also turns surprisingly emotional as they reflect on motherhood, mental load, appreciation, and the complicated feeling of being both a mother and a daughter at the same time.

We talk about what mums ACTUALLY want on Mother’s Day, why thoughtful gifts matter more than expensive ones, the emotional impact of feeling unseen, and th...

In this episode we dive headfirst into something chaotic, hilarious… and slightly terrifying — all the things you should absolutely NOT do during sex. And while Billi has come armed with “research” that is already raising concerns, Lyndsey is questioning how many of these mistakes people are actually making in real life.

We talk about awkward moments no one prepares you for, the things that can instantly ruin the mood, and the fine line between “spicing things up” and making a very questionable decision. From communication fails to bizarre experiments gone wrong, this episode is as unfiltered as it gets.

In this episode we dive into something completely unhinged a full-blown game of Would You Rather. And while this episode started off unplanned (and with a headache in the room), it quickly turned into one of the most chaotic, hilarious, and slightly disturbing conversations we’ve ever had.

From outrageous and disgusting dilemmas to surprisingly relatable choices, we go through some of the wildest questions imaginable the kind that make you question your morals, your limits, and honestl yourself. As the questions escalate, so do the reactions, taking us from lighthearted debates to absolute chaos in seconds.

In this episode we dive into something unexpected, slightly chaotic and honestly a little confronting: period blood. What starts as a curious conversation quickly turns into a deep (and hilarious) exploration of science, spirituality, and everything in between. While Billi is fascinated by the idea that menstrual blood could be powerful, even sacred, Lyndsey is questioning everything from the research to the rituals.

We talk about emerging studies exploring how menstrual blood stem cells could potentially help treat diseases like Alzheimer’s, and why scientists are suddenly paying attention to something that’s been igno...

What if aliens are already here… and witches are making a comeback? 👀

In this chaotic and hilarious episode of WineChats, the girls dive headfirst into the unknown — from extraterrestrial “open contact” theories to the rising obsession with witches, tarot, and modern-day spirituality. Is this all just fun… or is there something deeper going on?

From The X-Files nostalgia to wild claims about alien contact in 2027, they explore conspiracy theories, internet rabbit holes, and whether we’re all just “meat bags” in a much bigger universe. And just when you think it can’t get weirder… they ask the real quest...

Ever had a small moment completely ruin your mood… and you don’t even know why?

In this episode of WineChats, what starts as a “simple haircut” turns into something much deeper. Billi walks in for a trim and walks out feeling completely off sparking a real, honest conversation about why something as small as hair can feel so personal.

From there, we unpack the emotional attachment we have to our appearance how hair, identity, and control are all more connected than we think and why even the smallest change c...

In this episode, we dive into something both fascinating and deeply unsettling… the rise of AI in our everyday lives.

While one of us is completely drawn to it, the other can’t stand it — and that tension drives this entire conversation. From people forming real emotional (and even romantic) relationships with AI, to the growing trust we’re placing in something we barely understand… we unpack where this is all heading.

We talk about what happens when AI becomes easier to talk to than humans, why people are turning to it for connection, and whether th...

In this episode of WineChats, we dive into one of the biggest questions in long-term relationships: how do you actually keep a marriage strong over time?

We also unpack a surprising story about a woman who confessed to having an affair… and the unexpected way her marriage survived it.

Along the way, we explore some unusual relationship ideas that peop...

In this episode of WineChats, we dive into two shocking stories making headlines and unpack the details behind them while sharing our reactions along the way.

First, we discuss the incredible story of 13-year-old Austin Appleby, who fought through rough ocean waters to save his family after they were swept out to sea during a holiday in Western Australia. With their kayak taking on water and no way back to shore, Austin was sent alone to find help — leading to a four-hour swim through choppy open water and a rescue mission that ultimately saved hi...

In this episode we confront something mildly terrifying… the sudden awareness that we are aging.

And while Billi is feeling the existential crisis deep in her bones these days, Lyndsey is having big feelings about aging.

We talk about the moment you realise time actually is limited, how your brain changes as you get older, and the difference between personal growth and a full blown midlife crisis.

We also read some of the worst - and most cringe - midlife crisis stories EVER.

Are midlife crises real?

Billi’s kids have changed primary schools, a huge decision filled with nerves, excitement and second-guessing, while Lyndsey is navigating the emotional milestone of her son starting high school.

From mum guilt and “did we make the right call?” spirals, to pride, relief and the quiet moments after school drop-off, this episode is a real, honest conversation about parenting through change.

Have you ever felt like you’ve let someone down… and then the guilt comes crashing in?

This week on Wine Chats, Lyndsey opens up about a recent moment where she thought she’d let Billi down - tearful voice memo tears and all - while Billi admits she’s had her own moments of feeling like she’s dropped the ball too.

We also dive into the art of cancelling plans (the right way!), plus what it actually takes for us to feel truly hurt by someone.

Big thanks to Budburst Wine Collective ...

In our last recorded episode of the year - it's all about the fall of Selling Sunset!

What used to be our favourite show EVER, it's not turned into a nasty, bitc*y show that's almost unwatchable! From cattiness to the lack of actually properties sold, this season was disappointing and we ask ourselves - is this really what people want to watch nowadays, or have they gone too far in the wrong direction?

We'll be back with brand new episodes in February 2026! We hope you have a great holiday season with your families and...

Gen Z call it raw dogging (why?!) — but really it’s just sitting still and letting your brain breathe for a minute.

We rant, we agree it’s actually smart, and then we somehow end up in a mini-argument about who practices it more. Classic Billi and Lyndsey energy.

Also: Cute Drinks made a guest appearance — not a sponsor, just delicious spicy marg-style sips.
