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.

This week we discuss a daycare menu that doesn't add up. SUBSCRIBE to MORE Time For This :  Apple — https://apple.co/wedonthavetimeforthis Spotify — https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moretimeforthis

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 feels called to rep the first borns in this area which sparks a convo about sibling hierarchy. Then somehow we end up back at gentle parenting, yet again! Oh and we have a huge announcement...

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 doctor, whose manhood she apparently challenged while asking for antibiotics. Which really unlocks a rage in Revz about male fragility and here we go!

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 cover a lot today and could have gone for another hour. Thanks for being here DLs.

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 difference between her phonetic and Greek alphabet. But we digress.. lots is happening this year. Gem’s kids are both embarking on firsts, but she’s not quite ready to tackle that. Revz is back to regular programming with a twist. Speaking of twists, Gem has to find herself a new au pair and is this Groundhog Day? And Revz was reminded after a week with toddlers just how HARD parenting young kids is and why oh why do we actually forget how hard it is? Can we make a pact not to? Toddler mums, we see you. Anyway welcome to 2024 Besties, we’ve got a big one in store for you. Not Spons: Gem: Dance Life on Prime Revz: Follow @nourish_naturally on Insta

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 dreaming up her 40 by 40 goals and she’s recruiting Revz for this one.

This week's caller wants to know what to do when witnessing a disturbing scene.

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. Speaking of school... our little Raffa is off to big school after the break and we have BIG feelings about it. Finally, Gem doesn't have time for a new affliction, she's coined "staycation anxiety" but it might just be about incoming relatives. Some shining pre-Christmas not spons and a lot of hypocrisy served up fresh today. Enjoy DLs! Not Spon: Revz: https://poppylissiman.com/ Gem: https://avantstudio.com.au/

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

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!

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, especially Creatives. Then Revz doesn’t have time for the juggle of relationship and busy work seasons and she’s asking for advice cos this is new territory for her.

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.

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 doesn’t have time for dinner party..how do we put this…FOMO? Some gifting friendly #notspons and lots of very strong opinions in this one (and of course the lols, as per). Love you all!

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

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.

Today's caller has quit her toxic job and has all the regrets.

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 lot of sense. Then Revzy’s friend (sounds fake but it’s real) has found herself an accidental erotic fiction muse and yes we have all the details. Buckle up.  Not spon:  Revz: Belvita Breakfast Biscuits Gem: Octobuddy Phone Stick On https://www.instagram.com/octobuddy_official/?hl=en

This week's caller wants to know how to get rid of her unwanted house guests.

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 backflip for aesthetic reasons and Revz simply cannot with this and if you’re still here, happy Tuesday DLs, hope you enjoy the looney bin. #Notspons: Gem: Spell Stargazer Zodiac Ring https://aus.spell.co/ Revz: Brillo Beauty The Balm https://brillobeauty.com/products/the-balm-25g

Today's caller has been ghosted by a very public person.

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 her home (prepare the sage) and we have video evidence to really make your Tuesday. Thanks for being here legends, your besties, Gem & Revz. #Notspon: Gem: Oh Flossy Kids Natural Make Up https://ohflossy.com/ Revz: @formallyeverafter

This weeks caller is getting questioned over how much she spends on herself.

**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 we have interesting thoughts about our thoughts on this one. Revz doesn’t have time for her late night owl behaviour, and having to make her partner put her to bed which leads to weird discoveries about “Daddy” and “Mummy” which very quickly descends into a huge unearthing of our Icks. And it’s a loose lolacoaster from then on DLs, please buckle up and share your own icks in the Facebook group.  — Today is the last chance to vote for us for the Australian Podcast Awards :  https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting #NotSpon Gem: @luv_lou sunglasses case  Revz: oat milk?

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 convo we’ve been having for a while; are soulmates real? Like are they? And if they are, are you actually with your soulmate, or was the timing of life wrong? And if you’re not, does that mean you’re not in “real” love? Obviously we don’t know. But this is a heated topic and we get deep into our opinions in and around this one, topics include; hitting rock bottom, unrequited love, writing a dream partner list and settling cos you want kids.

Do you call your friends first thing on their birthday or do you (cough, Gem) call them on their birthday not knowing it’s their birthday and talking about some other sh*t? And how special are birthdays after the age of 21 anyway? Then, Gem’s kids FaceTimed her Dad with a surprise effect and it makes us wonder just how “bubbly” Australia is? And speaking of, Gem had an interaction that made her question same sex v co-ed schools, but Revz has questions. And then Revz doesn’t have time for a very specific, hyper “positive” instagram account that’s making her a bit (disproportionately?) ragey. Gem hard disagrees.

So Revz did a staycay at a fancy hotel and met a Japanese toilet…hilarity ensues! Gem is hooked on one helluva drug called Parent Pride TM and she wants to talk about it (once Raffa is done saving the planet - thank you daycare). But really what kicks off today’s meandering deep and meaningful, is Revz’s regret over a smug comment she made to the pod team in the car. She’s wondering if it was a dickhead thing to say, but also, it sparks some really twisty, curly questions about marriage, relationships, cohabitating, combining finances, all the juicy sh*t! And we have some serious questions for you DLs, including but not limited to, what level of purchase do you have to “check” with your partner about..and other dilemmas.

We have a whole lotta new DLs, so we asked you how to explain this show to newbies and you had some great answers (cos of course you did). We had a fun run in with a DL in Brisbane who had an interesting way of “trying to like” her husband which we get into. And then Gem doesn’t have time for being a sh*t mate when it comes to an RSVP and it gets us thinking about attachment theory (cos of course it does).

Back to regular programming and ya girls are sitting down for a good old fashion chat about life again. Things got shaken up in Gem household while she was on the road and she doesn’t have time for how little respect her kids have for…well… her. At least some sleep is being had but at what (emotional) cost? Then Revz is quite furious this week and she is not messing around calling it out. Strap yourselves in cos there’s a situation that went down while we were away that was not at all ok; and while the ending is a relief the process was pretty unforgivable.

Today's caller has planned for 3 under 3 and needs a clap back.

We’re coming down pretty hard after the official BEST month in the podcast’s ( /our) life, Tour Month. We just can’t quite get over it and so we’re deep diving today; sharing with you what went wrong, what went right, the highs, the lows, the cheeseburgers, the murder motels, our best mate Guy Sebastian and the absolute best thing about the lot of it… the DLs! We’re sure one day we’ll come down off this cloud eventually, but today is not that day. Thank you to everyone who came to see us and for everyone who joined in online all over the world. Seems like yes, we CAN evolve.

Today’s caller wonders if she needs to run interference on two very ambitious Nannas.

It’s that time of year where we answer all your curly questions and this time we asked you to make them spicy. So you hit us up with all the things you’ve wanted to know and we were in a particularly forth coming mood, so we go deep. If there’s anything we didn’t cover, why don’t you just skate into the DMs?

Today's caller is wondering if she can do it better this time.

DLs we’re in Brisbane! And happy about it after a raucous and magical first show in Melbourne! And there are two types of people (well, two types of “show nails”) and we rep both. But Revz has made life very hard for herself, indeed. Iggy has climbed atop Consumerism Mountain, taking the title of King Stuff from Teddy. And so that means Gem just like, can’t take him to the shops? Gem does have time for her “odd one out” and Revz doesn’t have time for working out her parenting style from an ever growing list of dolphins and lighthouses and tigers, oh my. But we’re jazzed to be performing for our Queenslander DLs tonight so nothing can bring us down today! On stage or in your ears we’re so happy to be with you this Tuesday.

Today's caller wants to know wtf is up with her toddler.

Morning legends! While we casually jet to Melbourne to see our Victorian DLs, we have a fresh ep for you! But first, Raffa has taken on a task that’s lightened Gem’s mental load and Teddy is loving a luscious rats tail. Then we show you a bit of how the sausage gets made to tell you Gem has forgotten how to be an actor, lol. But kinda not lol, cos it’s showtime. Revz is highly emotional about leaving the babies which is off brand and a massive surprise tbh. Gem is stoked to start sleeping through the night.

Today's caller wants to know if she can co-parent under the same roof or if that's a fantasy.

So, Teddy has discovered Gwen Stefani and that sh*t is bananas. Gem had a quote / meme / reel fall in her lap and it’s now her entire parenting philosophy. Revz loves it and is reminded of the time she negotiated her way out of maths for keeps. Cool story. Then Revz does not have time for a massive loss of innocence in the canteen line and Gem doesn’t have time for using up all her grandparent credit when she’s maxed out on childcare. TBH between the podcast and the live show, we’re both well and truly in the red. But onwards we march for another Tuesday with our besties.  #NotSpon: Gem: The Deepest Breath documentary on Netflix  Kate: Gro-To Sud Bud and Skin Wizard https://gotoskincare.com/pages/gro-to

Today's caller needs a serious pep talk after a run in with a face.

First up, Raffa has changed her tune on something and Gem is pretty devo about it. Then we wanna know how often people are washing their towels. Like, honestly, how often. Cos we feel very different about it but we do love that hotel life. Then Revz doesn’t have time for people asking for a relationship diagnosis like she’s an expert (spoiler, she’s not) but we also kinda get it. And then Gem has a really big one today and it’s weighing heavily on her heart. We wade through together and unpick the many layered reality of the idea of a particular beauty truth. Happy Tuesday DLs we LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. 

This week's dilemon involves sex selection (FYI it's legal in the US)

Gooood Morning DLs! Its Tuesday morning and we are starting out with a BIG announcement today, so buckle up! We have been busy, busy bees getting ready for the Tour (TM) but first we have an update on last week, a near car accident (!) and some serious hair cut chat. Yep, thats right, Gem bit the bullet and cut her kids kidnap hair and she had a weird, unpredictable reaction. Then Revz has the mirror firmly up in the form of her son’s “phases” which we argue over the real definition of and we have some bougie and TV watching #notspons to bring it all home.

This week's dilemon involves mansplaining... nuf said.

First up, Gem gives the update no one asked for and tries to rebrand something no one asked to rebrand. It’s fine, we love her for it. Revz regales us with a truly superb spew story and so we’re off to a queasy start, aren’t we? Then Revz doesn’t have time for the weirdness of being the unmarried woman at the BBQ, which sparks a convo about gender divides at Aussie get-togethers. Finally Gem had a park interaction that sparked some research and parental soul searching. It’s been a big week DLs, thanks for coming along for the ride.

Today's caller is flooded with all the thoughts about how her Mum friends think of her.

Ok so, don’t tell anyone, but making pizzas is an art. Like, don’t try this at home kids..for real. Gem has a new appreciation for the upper crust so stay tuned for her latest that-will-never-happen moment; ambitions of becoming a pizza chef. Then it looks like the time for haircuts might have come (praise be) and Revz is maybe a little too excited. But not so excited she gets distracted from calling out Gem, like she promised she would, on her work schedule. This takes us into quite an unexpected but important discussion about burn out. As a weird chaser, Revz is frustrated with knickers and we talk porridge and YouTube. Happy Tuesday DLs, we adore you. Revz mention: Yoga Nidra For Sleep and Rest https://insig.ht/Dm9Zcc6HjBb

This week's caller needs a pep talk from seasoned parents (who? us?) on how to toilet train her twin tornadoes.

We kick off today with a little beauty PSA about chrome nails for those playing at home and then, holy shit, we BOTH got Taylor Swift tickets and we don’t quite understand how ( #survivorguilt ). Gem had a truly seismic horrendous day and she’s got the receipts to show for it. You won’t believe how UN-cozzy-lives approved this story is. And Revz has been smacked down by a horrendous flu and it’s been a confronting time which does not at all match her hot girl winter™️ or birthday szn.

Today’s caller is looking for a needle in a haystack. 

We got a pass agg gift from Revz’ mum; Gem wants to know what the design is and Revz is dirty about storage. Gem had a weird incident at the beach involving a tourist which sent protective Dads on fire. Gem’s watching Parental Guidance and it’s making her think about having her kids online yet again which makes Revz pause at this new juncture of older kids. Then Revz has a bone to pick with the internet which might be a little cinematography-snob of her but she can’t stomach something going around and around. Gem is very reasonable about it which only makes Revz more annoyed. The mantra here is : “Let it go Revz, let it go.” Gem’s got a smart ass kid who’s weaponising her own wisdom against her and are we all exhausted? Spoiler alert; yes. Welcome to Tuesday.

ENTER A BLUE MIMI UPDATE. Revz is completely confused by her Zoomer sibling's entire language system, like what is “yeet”, for real? Then Gem went and did the drama thing, are we still here for this?

Gem took Raffa to the cinema against her best judgement and was proved right by the mountain goat herself. But don’t worry she’s off to kindy to potentially teach them drama? #whatcouldgowrong. Isla did a thing and it made Revz aware of her internal competitive parent, does she have a lid on it as she thinks or is she full of shit? In the biggest news on the internet this week, Iggy lost blue Mimi, aka the right side of his face, but is Gem actually upset: an investigation. Then Revz doesn’t have time for her new found relationship and making up lost time with her Dad. All in all another fun filled week with your unhinged besties, love you long time DLs Not Spons: Gem: Lo and Co Revz: Brillo Body Butter

Today's caller wants to know how to navigate her friend's differing financial freedoms. Live Show Tickets Here: https://www.wedonthavetimeforthis.com/tour

Well straight up, Gem gets the best text message of her life (including GIFs) but it’s quickly followed up with a schooling on a weird (potentially outdated) term. Aaaanyway, Raffa is pumped about chores, Revz is absolutely nerd-fizzing on The Little Mermaid and Gem is keen to join the Disney train (but without kids). And then Revzy doesn’t have time for when Impossible Beauty Standards™️ tip into vanity judgement. She tried a new treatment and it’s reminded her that augmentation can mean more than looking good. And we look at that reoccurring question of if “normalising Botox” is irresponsible or not. Then Gem is feeling aggressively unfit like a pack-a-day smoker and it’s…confronting. Then we talk about if maternity leave is not just about time with the baby, maybe it’s time with ourselves?  Not Spon: Gem: @pantry_girl Revz: Coles 40% Choc Chip Cookies

Yo, when was the last time you bought tissues? The 12th of Nevuary? Cos same, but betcha Mum does? We demi-announce the worst kept secret we’ve ever had (LIVE SHOWS!!) before dissecting the inclusion of cucumbers in the lunchbox and the joy factor of roll ups. Gem found out the hard way that her kindy educators are DLs. And now she’s Mrs Pranita, drama teacher. #facepalm. Then Revz is feeling like she’s had too much coffee but it’s not actually coffee it’s… the kids? Then we air out our most shameful parenting moments and they’re kinda identical, oops. Finally Gem had an absolute nightmare swim class and that’s enough whinge FM for, potentially, 6 months?

Today's caller wants to understand why boy mums cop massive insults.

Gem’s had a Pinterest makeover and she’s now essentially living in a display home. Hubs is banned from the for-show-only-bay-leaves, so, you can imagine how this chat goes. Revz is living a vintage vibe right now, and it’s making her laugh at the fact that she’s almost 40 and entering her second chapter. Gem went off the grid this week and after she went “foraging” (lol) she found something SHOCKING on her return. And this puts us in a tailspin about what kids are actually observing about our online lives. Then we talk about the absolute honour bestowed on the friend you don’t clean up for and the bestie who only knows you without a shred of make up. Are they the best friends we will ever have? Spoiler alert: YES! Another Tuesday with your girls, thanks for being here DLs! Not Spon: Gem: Go-To Nifty Fifty Revz: Weleda Skinfood

This weeks caller is wondering how do we dress ourselves these days.

What if our kids are someone completely different at day care than they are at home? Like, personality transplant.. that’s what’s happened in Gem’s home. Revz has done a complete 180 on the whole #sportmom thing (no surprise) and also her kids are waking at like, 2am (jk, jk… kinda) and is it time for a later bed time? And now listen we were TIRED recording this one cos we were making stuff for you but it gets LOOSE. So, like, strap in for an old school lock-down style episode DLs.

Today's caller is calling to check she doesn't have to make Mother's Day about her baby Daddy.

Gem is back and in (better) health. Revz now has a 6 year old and she’s musing on birth once again. Gem is on a real rampage about her period. She’s actually straight up done with it and we can relate. Revz is bringing the real-talk smack down on her bestie in terms of rolling back her workaholic status. Then we both don’t have time for explaining what we “do”, most because Revz is putting her best foot forward at the moment and maybe she’s embarrassed. Wait, is Revz now cringing at being an “influencer” when she’s given Gem so much shit for it in the past? Revz doesn’t have time for the shade that comes with women asking to be paid. The heat has been growing online as the podcast has grown and its giving her pause. Are we harder on women for monetising their content, more so than men?  Not Spon: Gem- Kmart Gumboots Revz- Thank You Exfoliating Hand Wash

Today's caller is regretting everything including 4 years of study.

Well. Sometimes you can't just keep going. Today is one of those days. But don't worry, we wouldn't leave your feed empty...

Today's caller needs some advice on how to buy a car from a misogynist.

Is cozzy livs coming for our nails? Obviously, but we’ll fight it. But Gem is eye rolling at what Revz is digging her heels (and toes) in on. And while we’re here a $6.90 coffee? Streuth! Then Raffa turned 5 and Gem doesn’t have time for big kids parties ANYMORE. Once again she’s hacked the system and has worked out the perfect set up for a drop and chill party (credit to The Good Mum™️ for the finer details). And let’s talk about the contract we all sign in terms of drop-off parties and what we cop for an hour’s peace. And is it our responsibility to cater to dietaries at our bday parties or is that on the drop-off parent? And then, we get into what you’ve all been DMing us about, THAT Bluey episode. We get into just what body positivity REALLY means in terms of parenting and why this moment caused so much outrage. Not spons: Gem: Dirt Stain Remover Revz: Jaffle Maker

Our DL is wondering how far is too far when changing her kids name.

What a WEEK in Podcast land! We give a little sausage making BTS chatter on the shoot that you’re all loving before hearing a truly bananas story about the local detective investigation (ding ding) that Gem found herself embroiled in this week. It involves home organisation, Youfoodz boxes and security footage and sometimes we wonder WHO HAS THE TIME! then Revz has found herself where all other school aged mums and dads are right now amidst this Prime drink racket. Revz gives an explainer and fills us in on her experience with the YouTube disaster from the top of Capitalism Mountain. It’s a Wiley one DLs! Thanks for being here (and in your tshirts!)

Today's caller needs a reframe on her 2nd job, parenting.

Updates! Get your updates! Gem has gone and DONE it, she’s won parenting, completed it, nailed it, slam dunk she’s done. Raffa can now lose. Or at least we think so, don’t jinx it (please god don’t jinx it). Revz has potentially had a complete personality transplant because she… how do we say this… likes (?)… sport? How did this happen? She’s unsure. And then to our favourite triggering topic; gentle parenting. Gem got activated this week by an instagram tile and, well, no surprises we have a lot to say about it (and yes, baby led weaning comes up). It’s less loose more goose this week but we’re as mad as ever and happy to be with you DLs!  Not Spon Gem: Librio Personalised Books- A Tale of Two Revz: Cotton On- Original Flare Jean

Today's caller is feeling a little left out of the love bubble.

Well, just zooming on into Tuesday without a helmet, what’s going ON with e-bikes, y’all? We’re divided (and a little excited). And, well, *someone* ..cough.. Iggy... has started to climb out of their cot and OBVIOUSLY GEM HE’S THREE! Ahem…sorry to burst the bubs on that one. Then Gem is trying to teach Raffa a little school-readiness Sportsmanship and, well, it’s not going that well, tbh. And Revz has some big news. Lots going on DLs.

Today's caller is really upset by comments on her kid's body.

You know when you get to a certain stage of life, you’re a grown adult and you really should know certain things? Like, what’s in mayonnaise or how to do your tax? Well, why CAN’T we just print more money? (Kidding) But… what is inflation about? Incase you’re too embarrassed to ask, Gem is breaking it down because she… did not know. And now she does. Also Revz had a dress conundrum that caused a major internal battle. And speaking of battles Gem and Revz battle it out for most-loved-TV-content-right-now #notspon and Revz still sneaks a cheeky extra one in.

Today's caller wants to know how to deal with her actual baby's bully.

Oh look, Revz is upholding more boundaries, good on her! Meanwhile Gem had a solid hang with a newly minted Mum of Three™️ and she has thoughts and insights that she just has to share. Gem overheard something that kinda upset her at the hairdresser and Revz had a really hard chat with the sister that descended into giggles. We’re messy, contradictory, undecided and in your ears for another Tuesday, DLs. Glad to be here!

This week's caller needs to know how to recover from this gross overstep. Today's episode is sponsored by Cashrewards. Yay! https://www.cashrewards.com.au/

First up how many chargers and cables do you own, like, collectively in your household? Is it a Christmas lights situation or what? Then, Revz got recognised but not in a fun-famous way and it was… humbling. Then Gem doesn’t have time for Raffas daycare “encouraging” pet ownership when she thought she was getting away with it. Can the neighbours dog just, like, do? And Revz is feeling the serious pinch (like aren’t we all) with the insanity of cozzy lives and mortgage bullsh*t can we get an amen? Then Gem has one of her more passionate #notspons to date and Revz is a hypocrite.  Gem: Mama Tom Yum Noodles Revz: Silk pillowcases Reference: Episode 57. How Much Is That Disaster In The Window?

Today's caller does not have time for her Mum's old school priorities.

Well. Instagram has spoken. “Hubby” and variations are cringe. Hot damn, we were oblivious?! But we’ve come this far, ya know? In other self-conscious developments Iggy’s toilet training, boring or not, is going great* (*at the time of recording. Cough, cough, piss piss). Revz doesn’t have time for her projecting of her own past failures onto her kid, cos she’s been so surprised by her DD’s success and that’s kinda weird. Then, Gem can’t believe what her brother went and did for his 40th (like, x 100). Happy Tuesday DL’s. We’re so so glad you’re here.

What happens when you’re so far beyond the kid stage your mate is deep in and they come to you with a vent…and you simply…can’t… care? That’s kind of what happens today between us. Although we (Revz) is try’na be better. Gem gives multiple updates including #bingate, #oblong.com and #bribesforIggy; there’s a lot going on. Then, Revz has so many moving parts and so many factors going on in her life it’s all a little bit much sometimes. It’s a real Grass-Is-Always-Greener sitch and we are getting right into that.

Today's caller is questioning how many activities is too many.

Ok, straight up, this gets loose. Gem is a bit sick, Revz was approaching shark week and is seriously angry at… someone? No one? Just bee in the bonnet vibes. Revz doesn’t have time for, well, pretty standard Mum Language (please don’t cancel her, she’s overreacting) and Gem is obsessing over literal garbage. Expensive garbage. Then Gem stepped outside her bubble for 20 min and didn’t like what she heard AT ALL. She’s here to ask some questions about how, like, most of the world talks (or listens). If you listened to us through lock down that’s the loose vibe we’re dealing with today, hope you enjoy the ride, Mamas!

First up. The Purple Wiggle. Discuss (it’s ok, we’ll do it). Revz has thoughts. Gem is playing catch up. The DLs are sweating. We tease out this odd day we call Valentines. Then Revz has an update on her stage-obsessed eldest and we just basically can’t stop unpicking our pride, fear and complicated relationship with our kids and the idea of them performing.

Wow. So many hacks today. Hacking parenthood, holiday, life, hospitals, you name it. But first, Gem has beef with the Goliath aka Kmart. And rightly so. Revz tells us about her city Staycay and how good older kids are (again). Gem has an Iggy update, and it’s more surgery for the little dude, (send thumb bunnies) but we’re praying for a #gamechanger.

CW: Disordered Eating.  Hello gorgeous besties! It’s not even February and whinge FM is turned up to full volume. Gem does not have time for the fact that there are literally hundreds of photos of her kids with Hubs and so, so few of her. Why don’t we ask for the photo, get in the photo, heck, DEMAND the photo? Then Revz doesn’t have time, once again, for the unwelcome return of her old frenemy, Body Image. It’s back and it’s mutated into a weird strain and it’s exhausting. Then Gem is FINE to “decay” but absolutely not to turn 40. It’s a numbers game. If you’re upset by discussions of disordered eating or body image this week, DLs, maybe skip this one.

Then Gem helps Revz attempt to make a statement and it’s awkward guys, it’s awkward. Iggy is out of his cast and Gem fills us in on how it became his comfort blanket, along with his multiple other comfort items and how he’s resisting turning 3, bless him.

We’re back! Gem has (literally) been round the world and she’s back with stories and OPINIONS. Revz had a frenetic break. But now it’s time for breakthroughs! So; doing the Harry & Meghan thing we’re going to get into the very fashionable “word of the year” concept. Gem failed so hard with hers last year, which Revz points out without any holds barred. But what should this year be? Gem has great ideas for Revz but will she take on Revz’s ideas for her? Gem wants to be even harder on herself than usual and Revz wants to let it all go.

Are you an oversharer or a lurker (guess that’s called private?) today we talk about being “too much” in a social situation and how there are some of us who just fill the space (cough, cough, 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️). Also if we’re at a girl’s lunch you better be bringing the chat, and we want it spicy. We discuss these things called “boundaries” (never heard of them).

Gem's flying Hans Solo again and Raffa's prank really interrupted her out of hours zoom call. Revz did the school concert single and it made her really emosh in all directions. We talk about some other stuff too.... Happy Tuesday legends! Hope you’ve done your Chrissy shopping.

First up, a thank you and an apology re: our little show being in the Top 10 Australian Podcasts. So, all our real life mates have weighed in on last weeks show and it’s sent Gem on a deep-dive investigation on the topic of Swinging. She went down the DM and YouTube rabbit hole and has some findings she wants to report back on. So do you wanna “play” or are you “vanilla”? And what part of relationship, cerebral or magical, are we most attracted to? And do we all really have a type? Revz thinks Gem has a type and Gem has a host of theories on what Revz “type” might be. And HOW WEIRD is attraction? Have you ever had the same type as your bestie? Cos we are RELIEVED that we have never competed for the same guy. Then, Gem forgot her anniversary cos she’s Wife Of The Year and Revz can’t believe the power men have in ✨making plans✨. Oh and Gem had her first airbnb guests and it did not 👏🏼 go 👏🏼 well 👏🏼. She tells us the whole sordid story and saddle up DLs there’s lots to unpack this week! Thanks for being here, we love the tits off you x Chemist Warehouse and Centrum Kids promotional content.

Ok do not mention the f*kn elf. Do not! That’s all on that right now because Revz “snuck” “off” (went) to an appointment without Gem and she’s dirty. Probably because she very nearly ruined a wedding. You read that right! Maybe someone should have gentle parented her (EYE ROLL) or would that have made her a terrible, snowflake employee? Gem thinks yes maybe! and oh, Raffa wants a baby sister for Christmas. LOTS going on that we don’t have time for, thanks for being here, Queens.

Todays caller "loves her besties three kids like they're her own"... or does she?

Revz is sick and it makes her give even fewer f*cks than usual so look out. Gem has had some major relief on the allergy front but Raff still made some questionable phone calls while Gem was on the shitter. Gem is lolling at the new Gambling guidelines and Revz is heading for a Gem-style massive burn out on the old work / life / parenting front.

Then Revz is an athlete now, not sure you were aware, but she’s finding it’s bringing some shit up for ✨evolving✨ and oh god here she goes. Then Iggy’s little joints are groaning and it’s breaking our damn hearts.

Todays caller wants to know if moving daycares is worse than dealing with the pass-agg educator of her son.

Gem is up to her eye balls in wallpaper glue and Revz is almost certifiably dead post-triathalon, so we don’t have any chat in us this week BUT we thought we’d give you a little sample taste-test of our bonus subscription episodes: D&M. We’ve put together some of our favourite moments so you can try it out and see if it’s for you. Missss you, see you next week 👋🏻

Today's caller wants to know how to banish that mum guilt when it's all on her shoulders but she loves to work.

Gem is a bit annoyed at a particular trending audio cos she thinks it’s cutting our poddy grass. Revz gives Gem some shade for her Shakespearean arched accent and Gem thinks that’s pedestrian (we’re off to a great start). We talk about “woke comedy” and the pros and cons of funny v punching down. Gem muses on her half-whiteness and how things have changed culturally in Oz since she arrived in the 90s. Then Revz doesn’t have time for doing her kids hair cos she’s NEVER HAPPY and it’s a constant fight. Have we already arrived in Teen Town? Cos if we have, can we take the bus outta here?

Todays caller is wondering if she can control her son's rebrand.

So Revz’s current “superpower” is making Memojis, so Gem is up for a special kind of ✨soft launch✨. Then we are all processing that Gem might be moving to Cabarita (not really) and in her Reno journey, Gem has discovered that she may have been signalling to the whole neighbourhood that her and Hubs are swingers. Speaking of, Gem went on a date night that took a real turn (down Lovers Lane, cough cough) and it’s QUITE the story. Revz has been reminiscing about annoying neighbours and tells us about the time she got sweet revenge on a mean Scottish neighbour.

Todays caller wonders if she can make her husband give a F about her IVF devastation.

Ok so, Revz has a friend, and we hope you all have one like this. She calls her Crazy Lisa and she’s really lived up to her title this week, strap yourselves in. Then Revz received a bill this week and you’ll die when you hear what for. Iggy is brimming with testosterone and it’s driving Gem bananas and Revzy has worked out that her whole personality is tied up in her finger nails. Here there and everywhere, bringing you the smiles and trials for your Tuesday. Have a great week DLs!

This weeks caller wants to know how to deal with her imposter syndrome.

Well. We have a lot to discuss starting with a follow up to a Bestie Hotline a few weeks ago about a shitty, trauma dumping nanny. Spoiler alert: she CAN get worse and she needs to be publicly shamed. And speaking of weddings, Revz heard a story recently and she wants it *verified* cos it kinda reminds her of another potential urban legend she heard years ago and if these things are really happening humans are far more interesting than we ever thought. Also, obviously updates on the Caba Reno and Americano, cos we know why you come here…

Todays caller is wondering if she should bother trying to get her baby daddy to be in their kid’s life.

Fun new dinner party game Revz has invented; what country are you? She thinks she’s Iceland (looks great on Insta but ALOT of shit to sort out, ya know) can you pick what Gem is? Then Gem had a potential teaching moment happen this week and she.. well.. fucked it. She fucked it. But when is “too soon” to teach your kids about women’s cycles and is there even a too soon? Then Revz wants to chat about women changing their name. Is it still a thing? It is in our bubble but why do we do it that way and is the “family” name still a real deal? As always we touch on Bridgerton (lol, get OVER it) and you can bet there’s a decent helping of smut in there for your Tuesday too. Love you DL’S !

This week's caller wants to know if she should get involved with her baby's bully.

Firstly, smooth or crunchy, what’s your peanut butter style? Cos it says a lot about who you are. And as far as style goes. permanent jewellery… are we vibing it? WTF is it and would you “commit”? On commitment, Revz is considering getting a tattoo, for the experience, and how much of life is worth the drama for the experience? Then, sex education is evolving so fast (thank god) but how do we deal with the fact that porn is a thing our kids will see. How do we talk to them about it and how to we prepare ourselves for that talk when we probably haven’t processed it ourselves. Then Gem has Cabba updates and Revz has a soundtrack for your kitchen disco. It’s ALL happening! Not spon yo_caba_caba Lizzo album special

Today's caller isn't feeling it and is wondering if she has to or how she can.

Hello all you gorgeous people, it’s Tuesday and so we’re at it again, talking each other’s ears off about life, love and female mullets. That’s right. There’s a “new” hairstyle that Gem (semi-new, lazy-girl, TikTok trend, beauty correspondent) is bringing to the table and it’s… weird? Or super cool. We don’t know. And Gem has a new family member; yep, she FOUND an Au Pair and frankly Revz is relieved. Then Revz doesn’t have time for her phone addiction and while resistant at first, Gem might actually get through to her for once on something #putdownthephone. Oh also, teddy is gonna be a costume designer and we’re all pretty excited about that. Happy SPRING VIBES besties, we’re glad to have you here with us!

Todays caller....isn't calling..... she's with us! And she wants to know how to detach from a problematic Nanny.

Well, Revz algorithm thinks she likes roller skating content, that’s weird and wait.. Gem’s too? How weird is the internet. Speaking of weird; therapy. God it’s good. Revz has a timely reminder of how important it it to keep the noggin healthy and ain't that the truth. Then, Gem has an exciting announcement that is going to be everyone’s favourite content / reno channel and no we will not be going on The Block. Then Revz is struggling with her coparenting responsibilities and she needs to call whinge FM you guys. Then The Good Mum is on holiday with Gem’s Mum and what is that about?!?

Today’s caller is wondering why her size varies so dramatically between stores. Is it capitalism, mysogyny or chy-na?

Um, what WHAT?!? It’s a bloody special day because back by popular demand, THE GOOD MUM is here! She was gonna just listen but what a lol that idea was. And Besties we get pretty deep, but first, Claire (The Good Mum) is shitty at Revz that she hasn’t filled her in on the new (not) BF. Gem wants to talk eyebrow lamination and Claire runs us through her poddy ritual. Then Revz doesn’t have time for the sick kid work guilt THANG which we wanna know, is it just a women problem? Then Gem has received a salty DM that has set her off, but is it really the DM or does she have to face down shit she’s been sweeping under the rug.

Today's caller wants to know how you know you actually want to be a mum and if she has to make that decision NOW.

First up, Revzy is blushing, what’s that all about? And then, quick update on the #candlebaby clan, we have some new additions to the family and we’re feeling very special about it. Then sorry for the FOMO but the (annual?) Bestie Brunch has been upgraded to bottomless, we cannot wait to meet you all. Now, unpopular opinion, we aren’t into a certain album that everyone is trying really hard to love and does that make us old? Or out of the loop? **cue manic singing** Then Gem brings yet another trend to the table for Revz to slam. Gem doesn’t have time for the avalanche of allergies and ailments that have come her way, on top of the insane winter time illnesses. And Revzy doesn’t have time for not knowing what everyone else is doing in their lives, specifically with their sex-lives and finances. Can we all hold hands and share a little more? Or is it too awkward to open the combo. Happy Tuesday legends, we’re so happy you’re here with us. Not spons: Gem @beau.hunting Revz Becky Straight Jean from @decjuba

This weeks caller would like to know why everyone insists her kid needs a sibling.

Ok so, there’s a new mani-style in town that Gem is all about, Revz is as suss as she is on skinny jeans and balayage but she’s open, SHE’S OPEN (she’s not open). Speaking of open, how do we feel about “vabbing”? (hint; it involves your vag and your ‘note points’). Then Gem is trying so hard to stay positive about this new rhythm in her family life but she’s at a limit and someone pass the coconut water. Then, you asked us for a day in the life and so we break it down, the whats the where’s the why-the-fucks and the who’s. Then in more episodes of Cos-You-Asked, Revz has all the intel on kids sharing a bedroom for you and GOD WE’RE HELPFUL!

This weeks caller wants her fam and friends to quit calling her kid a particular name.

OK besties, get ready because this weeks ep is loose! First up, to kick us off Gem needs more information on how to use body oil, but spoiler alert!... she’s a fan. Then we break down the top 6 sex positions as named by @triplejthehookup and we have a lot of opinions. Side bar... how come Gem knows so much about this stuff when she is a self proclaimed prude? Then, is everyone squirting? Or is there something wrong with us!? Then we take a long leisurely stroll down Ramsay Street, aka memory lane. And Gem retails us with stories of her days on Australia’s most loved soap. Then Revz doesn’t have time for the boring unending, relentless, train of sickness plaguing…. EVERYONE. Where is the line between 100% healthy and staying home from school and is it ever ok to send your kid off with a sniffle. From snot to doggie style it's a regular Tuesday in our house!

Today's caller wants to know what she can do about her Sister in Law’s flagrant plagiarism.

**Ok - something weird happens with the sound at the 29 minute mark** WE’RE SORRY - we have tried to fix it. Now, first up, Boomers and technology - its not only a constant ball-ache being on the blower for tech support but also HOW do they make the tech mistakes they make? Enter Revz’ Mum with a real corker of an instagram mistake. Then.. OK INFLATION WTF. We try to come up with some genuine ways to make a bit of side cash so we can still do coffees and pilates. We say “get f*cked” many times. Then Revz doesn’t have time for her teenage baby boy. Everyday is an emotional roulette and she has no idea how to parent a boy like this. And Gem is struggling with her son actually (finally) growing up too. And then Gem wants to read a tear-jerker of a poem, doing the rounds on social media at the moment that really tugged at her marital heart-strings.  Revz Dinnerly code : KATEDINNERLY Link : https://dinnerly.com.au/select-plan?CLID=sm&v=KATE&utm_source=par&utm_medium=inf&utm_campaign=infcampaign_Q32022_katereeves Not Spon: Gem : Franks Hot Sauce Revz : Naked Sundays body makeup

Today’s caller has a kid who’s made a bestie, but the Mum… not so chill. How do you breakup with someone you just made friends with?

This week Gem’s technology has turned on her, but it’s ok because she’s now a teenager #worthit. Then ear candles have the internet divided, but where Gem stands is clear as crystal. Then we’re back here again; Gem cannot deal with her parents shade on her son’s hair. But Revz reckons it might be pushing a deeper button- but clutch-my-pearls! It might actually be time to think about Iggy having a haircut and OMG no one can deal with it. Then we have a straight out fight about astrology… and are we actually arguing the same point? You decide. Then Revz doesn’t have time for the constant tension in every area of her life and it makes us think- is the real work we have to do getting good with our own choices or is society just a bunch of c*nts? A long and deep one this Tuesday DL’s, please let us know what you think of all of our ramblings in the Facebook group.

This weeks caller knows she should be excited about her wedding but with a toddler and the state of the world, she can't seem to find the f*cks to give.

First up, Revz is musing on a weird thing all our Mums did that she’s glad we don’t really do anymore. Then Gem is still recovering from the time she lost Raffa in Bali and we really don't have time for these moments, as Revz knows from losing teddy in Edinburgh for 45 minutes, it’s not something you quickly recover from. But Gem has lessons, LESSONS, because what else can you fucking do? Then Revz’ girl has such Main Character Energy, but it’s causing her problems in the school yard and we don’t have time for that. Not spon, OFCOURSE and some solid lols for your Tuesday. We love you DLs!

Today's caller wants to know what we're all doing in terms of contraception and if it's her husbands goddamn turn.

Gem is looking snatched, like it looks like she’s actually slept and we all know she hasn’t. And she’s off on holidays, and has a lot of feels about it, including a mental reframe on her new parenting responsibilities. Then we get into the importance of missing your partner and how we’ve missed missing our most important people, thanks to COVID and lockdowns. Gem doesn’t have time for the shame around the Coles sex toys and it’s got us wondering if there is really still shame around self-pleasure? And if we ourselves are really the shame-free, sex-positive girls we want to be. Revz is hot under the collar about the mysogeny around this topic and the thought experiments are flying. Then, it’s Revz’ birthday this week and for once she’s taking charge of it. It’s scheduled within an inch of its life for HIGH VIBES in order to avoid any birthday blues. So why do we always shelve ourselves when we spend so much energy celebrating everyone else in our lives. Surely we’re worth the effort we put into, say, our Mother-in-laws?  Not sponsored:  Revz : Bec + Bridge  Gem : Ink Spiller Home  Show notes :  LBDO Lube : https://www.lbdo.com/collections/the-essensuals/products/essensual-vibe?param1=googleads&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8amWBhCYARIsADqZJoWhZHPw2Rq91xdHASfzmRDzeN9PN8YAjaAfQOvqAGT_ZmmUVjriBQgaAh9nEALw_wcB Cotton On Smile Makers : https://cottonon.com/AU/smile-makers-vibrators/6332293-08.html

Todays caller is wondering whether it's her business to rock her besties' world about her dirtbag fiance's trash talk.

First up, #candlebaby - let’s make it happen. Happy sex renaissance to all of you who snagged a sex candle, we’re so happy to be your aphrodisiac! Then, Gem gives us a run down on Bali, aka The Best Trip Ever, highlights include nannies and also babysitters and then there were nannies and also kids club. Gem got her groooooove back too and Hubs has the knees to prove it. But the flight.. Gem talks us through the flight. Revz makes Gem promise to not burn out for the rest of the year and she kind of almost agrees. Then we get into our favourite Troll and how we don’t have time for them. Revz doesn’t have time for paying her children to stay in their beds, or does she? Then we get into camping and how we are not get-in-the-dirt people, give us a nice hotel any day. And then in a sharp right turn, Revz wants to talk about divorced men. Quite the smorgasboard today!

This week's caller needs to know how to recover from this gross overstep.

Do Blondes have more fun? Or is Bronde where it’s at? Revz is making changes. And Gem is frothing on a TV show she feels she’s manifested in and therefore is a producer of. Then Gem doesn’t have time for the state of her car. It’s a proper dumpster and she cannot keep it clean. We’re talking old maccas, kid snacks, yogurt pouches with full populations, receipts, you name it. And it’s gotten so bad that Gem is now embarrassed. But what’s the solution? Is there one when it comes to family cars? Then Revz wants to sell up and start a mothers commune, where we all just wife each other. Taking submissions! Then Revz really wants to get a babysitting round-robin going but Gem is resistant. Happy winter Tuesday DL’s we hope you’re warm and flu free!  Not Spon Gem: Belkin headphones  Kate : Rotisserie chicken. Yes really.

Gem is annoyed at traffic etiquette, but it's not what you might think. And Revz has FINALLY jumped on the Tay Tay and Billie train and Gem is eye-rolling all the way down the road (but glad she's here). And is having three weddings normal now? What's going on? Then we unpick the Flower & Gardener relationship theory. Gem is currently a happy flower, Revz feels she SHOULD be a flower but has played Gardener many times. But who's the flower in our duo? Now, Revz is going to attempt a wild feat: a *free* school holidays in an attempt to give the middle finger to holiday camps and she's already stressed about it. And then Gem has had jack of Boomer resistance to personal pronouns and so she's giving us all a teaching moment in case anyone needs the nudge to confidently get on board the new way 🌈. Happy Tuesday, winter besties, hope you're healthy and warm. Not spon Gem: Society Inc. Kate: Magna tiles

Today's caller wants to know if pocket money is for chorse or just cos and HOW MUCH? #inflation

Whinge alert: in case you missed it, lol, Gem’s Hubs is away and she has realised she’s actually the shit domestic partner and that he does EVERYTHING? But should she tell him that, or continue on the path of “weaponised incompetence”? And yes, we get into the importance of bin washing, because we’re a sexy and vibrant podcast. Then, we really must all donate blood. There’s a national shortage and so we live inventory a giveaway to see how many of us can go and help out! Speaking of blood, they’ve renamed the “feminine hygiene” aisle and we like that very much, we do. We have no time for period shame or men who get the ick with periods (puh-lease) but Gem is on about her cup again. So we get into Menstrual Leave which has just been passed in Spain and it makes us wonder if it has new levels of mental load for us women in the work place or if it should be honoured. We talk the mental health day / personal day juggle and how we should really bring back the red tent!

Do you make handmade bliss balls and sushi for your kids bento box? Or are you like us and keep it simple and retro with a Vegemite sandwich and some tiny teddies? This week, Revz’ mate got drive-thru shamed and it’s set her off. We get into how well the kiddos get fed at daycare and how as we get older and wiser, we give less shits about their angelic diet. Then, was Gem starving in a former life? Cos she will not share her food (not even with her 4 year old). Then, look, we need to talk about sleep. Revz thought hers were through the sleep drama, Gem is in the thick of sleepless BS, and we just need to talk about what utter torture sleep deprivation is. And because we’re doctors, we wanna talk about the shamey, shamey horse sh*t that is spread around by some people who aren’t on team sleep training. Then we talk about the sleep aids WE need to head off to Dreamland and why we think it’s ok to give kids NONE when we need so many. Then, can we normalise 0 activity weekends? And let’s talk about when you know you’re the one at work letting the team down because MOTHERHOOD. Aaaaanyway, it must be Tuesday! - Not Spon Gem: Bosch power drill toy Kate : @bon_tot zodiac totes

Today's caller has a morning and night routine: battle.

*CW: Disordered Eating* Revz is zapping off braid-able leg hair and Gem is in a winter wardrobe funk (oh, it's that time of year again). Yep, Gem is feeling lazy in terms of grooming and decides she wants to groom with a divorce mentality. It's all about the tension between wanting to be majorly hot and not giving even one f*ck about how you look, which we can all relate to. But real talk, Gem is ready for a glow-up and Revz wants to swoop in like a Mama-Bear-Art-Director and finally make her a capsule wardrobe. Then Revz is facing yet another phase of body image stuff and she doesn't have time for the fragility of it all. And this conversation exhausts us both as it soaks up so much time and energy but we really do want the cycle to end with us. Gem is finidng "body love" can be a bandaid and yet another pressure. Revz wants to know how to balance the mental health and physical strength benefits of exercise and nutrition with the demons that come with food and exercise and luckily we have #notspons to focus on so we can have a goddamn break from thinking about our bodies. Love you Besties, glad you're here. If you or someone you know needs support, please call 1800 33 4673 or visit The Butterfly Foundation at www.butterfly.org.au

Today's caller has found herself again and it's driving a wedge between her and her partner.

Ready for an all-out nerd-out over some words? (We're so cool). Gem thinks language needs a flowery glow up and then we have a bit of a fight over another nerdy word but STAY WITH US... Gem is feeling smug about her runaway hit of a recco, but she has some very specific conditions under which it can be watched, which Revz thinks is a little agressive. Revz has quit dating to focus on her TV and whinging and it's a full-time job today as #singlemumlife is just caving in on our mate. Gem wants to know about the logistical nightmare of multiple baby daddies and Revz wants everyone to get over the concept. Gem's mate's partner was on watch when her kid wrecked her teeth and we hash out if you should allow yourself to care about aesthetic injuries. Then we get into ultimatums and if they ever work out for anyone. A lot covered today in this chat sesh and would someone slide in and tell us we're good for fixing the sound levels, cos we want some credit for that. Thankyooooou!

Today's caller is feeling stuck and anxious with the wild and unpredictable change that's happened to her life.

Today it's "TIME FOR DINNNNNER!" as we discuss the most awkward lyrics to get stuck in your head (IYKYK). The kids have been dropping truth bombs about bodies and we're just trying so very hard to be good with it, despite the realness. Then Gem's hubs is on a new wicket and so what does that mean for the WFH mama? We're upping the ante on the outsourcing that's what it all means and you know CEO Gem has it ALL worked out! Co-parenting bday parties, dental trips and a bit of vagina love and we call that Tuesday! So glad you're here, besties.

Today's caller is feeling the hover, and wondering when she can bail.

Birth-day round-up! (Birth-day round up!) there's two poddy baby bdays happening at the mo and Gem and Revz feel differently about the passing of time. Gem does not have time for how boring trucks and cars are... and she's not wrong, like, get a new sound. And Revz gets high on her own supply and goes on a rant about dads doing braids. Also, we did an embarrasing thing pretending to be influencers and oh gawd, what a cringe. Happy Tuesday lady loves (and 3 male listeners) we're so happy you're here!

So, Revz has arrived at the place where holidays are fun again (what WHAT?!) but don't feel too jealous, she's also arrived at Pokémon-land which is a real kick in the tits cashflow wise. Gem has a four year old (heart eyes) but is upset by how rich people are geting on YouTube and yes, we feel this deeply in our bones on a fundamental-not-ok level.

This week's caller wants to know why her 2022 show bag is so... well... bullshit. #thankgodforbertiebeetle

Would 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! And would you change any of it if you could? Highly recommend a strong coffee or a double skim flat wine with this one, it gets real.

You voted, we listened! Gem's household is down with the c bug, so we're dishing up one of our top, all time fav episodes like the warm cosy comfort food Gem can't taste. Let's slide back in to the adventures at Whizzy World with some OG Gem and Revz.

Gem 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 shake but absolutely needs to before she becomes #triathlon #fitspo very shortly. Then Gem has a bloody ripper of a #notspon and Revz can save you thousands on therapy.

This 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

Well, 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 relationships. Revz almost tells us about her new love interest but gets weird and Gem has sorted Raffa's bday party (for now; stay away Covid!) We go everywhere, really, and get quite existential, as we are interrupted and distracted by the realities of life, so... basically a classic Mama catch up! Happy Tuesday from our earphones to yours.

Today'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

Gem 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 backwards on coming forward with her opinion. Then Revz doesn't have time for when you give a mate a recco and they aren't picking up what you're putting down (not her talking just about when Gem did this to her). Then we have a fight about lunchboxes - actual lunchboxes - not whats in them, but the nuts and bolts... ROCK AND ROLL, PEOPLE!

Today'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

So, 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 navigating at the moment... we think. We get into how the influencers are supposed to navigate this time, and how we're supposed to consume it. Then we talk about money...and how awkies it is.. until another topic takes over and we abandon it all together. True story.

This 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

Happy 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?

So 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 will do in pursuit of a good night's sleep, huh? speaking of, Gem tells us about a terrifying night in her childhood and omg... now a lot makes sense. Hope you've got your coffee, coffee, coffee, it's Tuesday besties! x

Gem; 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.

Gem 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 folks, but Revzy is our single girl correspondent, happy to share her stories from the OTHER SIDE. Also, a bougie af not-sponny and a Tassie nod to cocktail hour. School's back in session, besties, get amongst it!

So, 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 feels awful, Revz thinks it productive and then its Gem's turn to spiral. Then look, we get deep, very deep, about spirituality, self, responsibility and happiness and well, we just go with it. Thank you for coming to our TED talk, Besties, we're Gurus now.

This 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

Um, 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 episode that is just going to make you shake your damn head as Revz has taken 'evolving' to a new level. In fact, we could straight up call it BACK TRACKING. Essentially, prepare to hear a proper spiral in real time. Happy Tuesday Besties, we're glad you're here.

Well, 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 besties, just try's figure it all out.

Gem 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 baby girls are being confronted with social dilemmas and it's breaking our goddamn hearts. When is it our job to step in (never?) and when is it out job to simply arm them with resilience and tools to take on the realities of life? And is it ever ok to bully a bully if the bully is, herself a baby? Then we talk way too long about a mars bar and we are only 4 more breakdowns from the end of the year, Besties!

This weeks caller has a kid who's way too old and way too cold - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x

Omg 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 OUT OUT AND OMG WE NEED A NAP.

A-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 enjoy this chat. Finally we get right into bloody fast-fashion and how the hell to get around our deep philosophical guilt when we buy fast, cheap, cute things that burn the planet and steal design IP. Help us! Help us solve it! Happy Tuesday Bestie Babes, we're glad you came along!

This 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.

Hello, 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 about our own weird domestic habits, involving tea-bags, loo roll and cups by the bed. We get into sleep drinking, who would survive longer on a desert island and try and work out exactly what body con even means.

It'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 is flipping the script this week and telling us what she does have time for and its to do with some seriously compassionate and lovely school parents and it's that old reminder to just be nice to people. - WE ARE UP FOR AN AWARD 🏆 We Don't Have Time For This has been nominated for Best Family Podcast at the Australian Podcast Awards AND we're also up for Listener's Choice.

We'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 frankly, she's pissed off at The Block for giving her false hope. And Revz needs your help with a huge project she's working on that definitely isn't masking her own shit, deflecting from her own feelings or shouting "LOOK OVER THERE" away from her own life, that's right, she's taking submissions, and it's not for herself. Then Gem plans to pull off a "reverse catfish" get Revz on the apps, but make it #relatable and we learn about the time Gem joined a Goddess Circle.

So, 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 AND a major parenting win, Gem has some more unpopular opinions and, really can't let some things go. What don't we have time for this week? Potentially ourselves.

Summer 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 vibe of a not-spon and Revz has an ice cream. Last week in lockdown, first week of the REST OF OUR LIVES!

Today'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

We'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 incident that went down in Gem's house this week and how she very nearly missed the whole thing (sorry, Iggy) which sparks Revz to share her worst ever parenting anecdote of a horrendous near miss that almost left her one kid down. Strap in, saddle up and get ready to feel like a much better mum than us, this week... it's Tuesday with your besties.

This 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

We 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). Also, we think it's time Gem stopped editing the podcast, but can she handle the letting go of control? We also try and work out what exactly we're talking about when we say "boundaries" and why Revz has none. Then we play a fun game of, "what if I said I don't want to do that" and get into our first on air fight. #notsponsored Kate | My Chameleon Gem | Mud Australia For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our brand new Facebook Group!

Would 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! And would you change any of it if you could? Highly recommend a strong coffee or a double skim flat wine with this one, it gets real.

Today 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 Rather". You should definitely play along, especially if you like your gastro weekly, and your pregnancy for three years. What are we talking about? It's Tuesday, Besties, buckle up.

Do 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 #TeamHover or Hands-Off. We wonder if nurses hate all their friends with kids and we unpack whether swearing is really that much of a big fucking deal? And because it turns out we're terrible salty pirates, guess who's kid is watching The Bachelor? But hey, its getting her 2 odd hours of alone time so...is it all that bad? Chores as games, skid marks and the unending domestic divide, we really get into a lot this week, and once again..don't really solve a thing, but we're here, we're sweary and we love our Dear Listeners, even if they are bad parents who make empty threats. #notsponsored Kate | Bum Bags!

Sometimes 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 front page of the Daily Mail. Then, we're talking One-Mumanship, over-achieving Mums with a capital M and how it makes us feel shitty, but probably rightfully so. We delve into shifting perspective in this wily world. Then we dissect how to put yourself out there for parent-friend fun, once this lockdown has ended, without feeling rejected by everyone's busy.

So 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.

You guys, Gem is going grey. Proper grey. Probs because her daycare just up and shut down. Lucky we’re in perpetual, unending lockdown… 🥴 Today we’re just wondering, are we harder on our girls than our boys? I mean, we definitely are, but is that normal? We discuss how we don’t want to make weird-ass men out of our boys, but omg, we just want to marry them a little bit. But for real, we want to be those cool mother-in-laws and have all our adult kids loving coming to visit us every single Sunday. BUT HOW DO WE DO THIS AND NOT MAKE THEM WEIRD?

Maybe it's Sydney Lockdown, but this week we get a bit real. Or is it reel. People keep asking Revz if Gem is really as perfect as her instagram grid and frankly, its opened a can of self-conscious, 2021, macro worms. Is it uncool to appear cool on the gram these days? Or is there a feed for every feel? If you love connecting through socials online, do you need to have a "brand" or can you just show up as yourself - and what if showing up as yourself has a real, well, brand about it? What is the role of your real friends compared to your "reel" friends? And my god this is such a weird conversation, but its not like we all haven't thought about it! A deep, dopamine dive into life online, off-line, through a phone and into our heads. Revz hits a nerve with Gem and together, we try and figure out just why any of us really give a shit.

Fuck you Lockdown, seriously, fuck you. We at Whinge FM really want you to get in your cab and get outta here, cos now "Home Schooling" has to happen and there's a looming birthday. So really, what is there to do but cry, shop (online) and pour yourself a hefty #skimflatwine and go for your "exercise".

Cos it seems there's a few different stories out there, and we need there to be one. So today, we get into a much requested topic which is - What do you wish you had known about birth before you did the damn thing? We have some hacks, some (eeew) tips and (gross) advice - STAY WITH US - we get into the much-discussed episiotomy, the Day 3 Blues, Vag birth vs Sunroof, the gas, YA FIRST POO, it's g l a m o u r o u s. This turns into Maternity Ward Klepto Antics and, yes, it's a thing! Then we touch on the idea of orgasming while you're crowning... now... we don't like to judge but GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, FELICITY. As you were, Bitches. It's Tuesday in Lockdown, and this one's the loosest of them all! #notsponsored Gem | Sequence board game Kate | Brokenwood Semillon For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our Facebook Group!

Oh hey Tuesday! Can we talk about hair maintenance (or lack there of), and why Revz ever thought it was a good idea to add *go blonde* to her busy life? And then, take a breath, we get into the old g r a t i t u d e chestnut... and we've changed our tune since Ep 12, or have we? We're a bundle of contradictions on this one. This week, Gem is running on fumes, cos she has #nightcreepers and she's (shocker) over-worked. To add to this, she's having wild cheese-induced nightmares and that leads us to whether it's ever ok to recount your dreams to, well, anyone. We accidentally drop a job ad for our expanding Poddy team and then speaking of sleep, we do what we said we'd never do, and tackle the topic of sleep-training, specifically the smugness that lives on either side of the debate. Raffa is a klepto now, Revz hates Teddy's nickname and Gem can't pronounce "hypocrite" BUT the big takeaway is that everyone sucks, you should seek out your confirmation bias and, bloody, YOU DO YOU MOTHERF*CKRS! #notsponsored Kate | Insta Follow @velvetcoke Gem | Sensory board from @leosworld_au For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our Facebook Group!

Gemma is, because of course she is, spring cleaning! How fun is a good old fashioned de-clutter (stay with us).... and how annoying is it when a partner moves sh*t, puts sh*t in the "wrong" place etc... Then, there's a diamond situation and it's making us all sick. But that's what happens when you move house and go into labour on the same day. Then, Revz goes full pirate, and will someone reign her filthy mouth in? Then, we do not have time for sick days. Fuck you, snotty sick days, don't you know there is NO time? And then look, this is controversial, but can we talk about gentle parenting… we are not sure we have any time for it, but then, we are once again, a bundle of contradictions so who the f*ck knows.

Coming to you "LIVE" from Tasmania, thanks to Stillwater Seven and Clover Hill Wines. This week, we really cover the full gamut on Whinge FM. Starting with the Emergency Department, like, who has the time guys? Not us! And if human children aren't enough, can we talk about "Fur Babies"? Revz has a gripe, and she's ready to lay it on the line ("don't @ me", she begs, like a big dumb, dumb). Then, look, can we talk about when kids wanna dress themselves? Why do they have zero style when we've tried so hard to raise them chic? WHY?! Revz bought horrendous shoes for her gross kids that assault the senses, and Gem claims that Raffa has fun clothes but we need to see the receipts. A bougie sea plane interrupts us before we get into the detailed intricacies of what makes Reality TV (yes, it's very important), and Revz exposes Gem for the Game Nazi that she is. All in all, another basic bitch-cast, but from a beautiful part of the world.

Unpopular opinion... but can we all hold hands and say that sometimes it's just easier to solo parent? THERE! WE SAID IT. But, careful what you wish for. This week, we are looking into the future, with a special guest, Psychic Medium Anna Paola Boyd, but before we do (and oh, how we do), we reminisce about the past, and remember high school formals? Gem is still smug about her cheap-ass formal outfit and Revz cannot believe she thought she was fat, when in reality she looked like a greyhound. Enter Anna, who has some bombs to drop on us about our future and all the best made plans we thought we had all sewn up. Apparently there are babies on their way, major moves, career slam-dunks and a SOUL CONTRACT. Strap in, basic besties, this one goes roguer than rogue. #notsponsored Kate | Elka Collective pyjamas Gem | Spotify Playlists by matthew_rooney-au For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our brand new Facebook Group!

First up, scandal, is Gem up the duff? Cos Revz has done some detective work and if it looks like a jar of pickles and smells like a jar of pickles... MAYBE ITS A JAR OF PICKLES. Gem recounts her first kiss, which makes us mourn the loss of kissing, RIP The Pash. Then we talk about The Sex Talk and how Revz has given it multiple times. Then, look, we're ragey. And we're sick of being ragey on this topic, but we just are. We discuss a current news story and our visceral reaction to how it's played out, which gets us back into sexual politics and workplace behaviour and DON'T WORRY, THEN WE TALK ABOUT THE BEST FOUNDATION. #notsponsored Kate | Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Gem | MCo Beauty UltraStay Flawless Foundation For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our brand new Facebook Group!

Ok, periods. Why? Just why? I mean, we know why but, please, have we not evolved beyond the blinding rage? Then we talk about intervention during birth and the further blinding rage we feel when people glorify “natural” birth #whateverthatmeans. Speaking of loving the drugs, we went OUT for Mother’s Day (jokes, there were no drugs) and we keep getting shamed for it. So, is Mother’s Day really for mothers then? And what’s the greatest gift you could give a mum? Which leads us to friendships and the difference between old ass mates and new Mum-Friends. How do you take a friend crush to a friendmance? Finally, Gem is - shocker - exhausted and Revz calls her on her bullsh*t and “next-week” attitude. But in a career win, Gem reveals her new project! So it’s ALL happening! #notsponsored Gem | Maya Brenner personalised jewellery Kate | AYU Ayuverdic Body Oil Jasmin and Neroli For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our brand new Facebook Group!

First up, the people need to know Gem's nickname, and Revz is on the case in this worldwide exclusive and it reminds us just how silly and insecure we all are about the dumbest things that literally no one else cares about. Speaking of names; to keep your name or change it when you get married? What about the kids? And here we go again at the p a t r i a r c h y. Also, throwing Gem further under the bus, we're talking bad, old tattoos... and guess who's inked up? Lucky she gives no f*cks! Then, we finally get down to it, and the topic on the table is infertility. We have both experienced it, been there for each other through it, and are on the other side. So how do you support someone you love who is navigating life under the cloud of infertility? And how do you tell your childless friend that you are pregnant? We've been there, so you don't have to.

What's your most used emoji? Is it lol, a warm hug, Spanish dancer vibes or straight up murdery? Maybe it gives away your drinking problem (*cough* REVZ). We steal each other's phones and psychoanalyse where we're at based on tiny cartoons. Then, we get into a bit of self identity, pregnancy and how going from 0-1 kid and 1-2 kids changes who you are. Oh also, Gem has a biter on her hands and Revzy has a lemon. Thanks for hanging with your fave hot-mess besties for another Tuesday Loose-Fest. Wanna come to our LIVE SHOW?

Holidays: a novel location in which to parent! Revz recaps travelling with her Groms and we get into how travelling (even locally) has changed since having kiddos. Then, cos we're deep AF, we get into why women still don't really propose to men and how cool we think it is when women take charge of their own 👏🏻 damn 👏🏻 lives. Also, did you know you're a completely different person every 7 years? Like, science, wise? And we wonder if it's possible or hella dangerous to teach your kids to question, well, everything. Gem had one coffee one time and now knows The Meaning of Life...and lucky she does because THIS IS NOT A DRILL, there are ghosts amongst us. And we only have one thing to say about that.... NUP.

Hoorah the school holidays are FINALLY over but the whinging kids and sibling fighting, does that EVER end? When you’ve had enough, is it ok to completely lose it in front of your kids? And what about with Hubs? We wonder if there’s a good and bad way to fight with your significant other. Now, it’s far less important, but Revz doesn’t know what to wear and it’s all she can think about. Gem on the other hand in comfy AF (pun intended) being a mumsy dag and ain’t nobody gonna stop her.

Ok, full disclosure, we are a little loose this week, coming off the back of technical poddy issues and #dummygate, we are two sleep-deprived zombies. But we're here! And we're talking about Gem 'copping some crit' on the gram via the Mum Police and exactly how dummy weaning went down in her household. Revz has been knocked for six by a meme, and look, it's made her spiral. As if a brutal meme wasn't enough, we also heard a bang on quote and it's just so real, you guys. Gem had a shocking run-in with a Mansplainer which begs the question... Should anyone ever put up with a toxic work culture? Spoiler alert; no, but it's never that easy, is it? Finally, can we just stop waiting for life to get easier? Is it time to lean in to the manic hustle and just own it? #notsponsored Kate ABC Reading Eggs Gem Annabel Karmel Kids Meals - For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our brand new Facebook Group!

We kick this week off addressing a call-out we got via DMs about beauty, but don’t worry it quickly descends into scrotox and deflect, deflect... LOOK OVER THERE, it's kids party time for us both and we sit on very different sides of the cake aisle. Gem puts on the Outsourcing Queen crown, Revz goes full art director. We don’t have time for extra-curricular craft being assigned outside of school hours. Then we take a trip down memory lane to a whack time we went to... wait for it... RUSSIA.

We're flipping the script this week, cos we wanted to open it up to you, Dear Listeners, in an Ask Me Anything, poddy style! But first, the Easter Bunny is coming for Raffa's dummy and Gem is shitting herself for what's to come. Revz has a little baby klepto on her hands which is probably not a sign of intelligence, although, watch us spin it that way. We talk drunk online shopping and even circle around the cauldron of kids s l e e p. We get into all your quezzies including what success means to us, and more importantly, where do we get our hair done. All in all, another hour with your favourite basic bitches.

Have you ever run into your ex? Let me rephrase, have you ever run into your ex looking *Fire Emoji*. Well sometimes, just sometimes, life serves up a just dessert, and this happened to "Us" this week and "We" were both there for it and we may have merged into the one person at this point. Gem also experienced another parenting first / rite of passage and arrived at a pretty awkies realisation about herself that she needs to unpack. Revz is pissed that ALL the family gifting falls on her, even for her in laws, so we get into that and somehow end up at another layer of guilt involving sustainability. Wow, we did it again, we went everywhere.  #notsponsored Kate Bon Tot's Stainless Steel Water bottles Gem Billie Eilish The World's A Little Blurry - For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our brand new Facebook Group!

Drama, Drama, Drama! We had our first on-air fight over, wait for it, Harry & Meghan. Its the Brit v The Republican and spoiler alert, nobody wins. In the theme of confrontation, Gem tells us about an aggressive blow-up at her local playground and then in some kind of weird non sequitur we get into the hot topic of sharing your life on the internet - we reminisce about life pre-social media and then get hella scared for the children. THE CHILDREN! Finally, Revz forced Gem into a 'salacious' tell-all about what really happens behind the scenes of influencing and what-was-this-episode-about? Life...oh, life! ohhhh li-ife, OH LIFE.

With rampant-ass misogyny coming at us from every angle this week in the news here in Australia, we're in a mood. But its not all bad, REVZ WENT OUT FOR DINNER WITH CHILDREN and nothing burned down, and Gem's sweet baby angel learned to call her Grandparents "stinky" 😳. The topic on the table this week, though, is the boys, and what is the best route for them in this world to hopefully make sure they turn out to be good, respectful, decent men. Or at least give them the best possible chance at turning out this way. Here's to strong, sensitive, feminist men.

We're all thinking it, how much sex is everyone having? Well, not everyone everyone, more like, everyone with young kids who have been together for a while and are, well, tired AF. How much sex? Cos we feel like people are lying and that it's the new insta-status to be boinking for Australia. So, is it a sign of the quality of your relationship and just when is the perfect time, amongst all the other things we don't have time for? We just wanna get into it, and by it, we mean the topic, not the actual sex thing.

We kick off today's show with some pass-ag gifting and then, oh what a surprise, Gem has another s#^t story to share about some #funkyjunk. Which gets us thinking, what are the differences between boys and girls and once again, does it really matter? Gem gets a boner for Malcom Gladwell and Revz is so over all the mums forecasting her motherhood experience. Will she make it to 7pm on yet another groundhog day? We check ourselves over how many times we've uttered the phrase "oh you think it's hard now..." and we end with a feud over interior design.
