Is the babysitter dead? Not literally, but they seem to be becoming a thing of the past! So why is that? We discuss. 
Plus, Jessie and Holly have finally caught up on some of this year's Oscar-nominated films and they share what's genuinely worth watching.
And, trying new things, a back disaster and deciphering some very confusing coded notes. It's our best and worst of the week.

"Do my socks make me look old?" Is not a question any of us saw coming in 2024 and yet here we are. In this episode, we unpack the rise of fashion burnout across generations, and how micro-trends are making us feel like crap. 
Plus, the show Holly and Brent binged in a weekend, a book that’s made Mia question everything and Jessie’s latest depressing documentary… it's our weekly recommendations.

And, we wrap up with our best and worst of the week which include Mia changing her mind about a word you can't say, Jessie's favourite day of the week and Holly's great regional dumpling hunt.

I Have Some Feedback About Your Fit Check

More and more young women are opting not to have sex. In today's episode, Holly, Mia and Jessie discuss the celebrity-endorsed female celibacy movement that’s so hot right now. 
Plus, last week one very problematic famous person took off his shirt and partook in a very public washing away of his sins (in some very dirty water). Inside the rehabilitation of Russell Brand.  
And, do you need anybody? Probably, yes. Is that a weakness, or a strength? Jessie wants to bust the myth of co-dependency.
