Yumi and Jen are EXHAUSTED. Yumi is recording in her pyjamas (but only if you can see from the waist down), and decides to go rogue on today's episode.

Inspired by Tik Tok and Instagram account I Am Unique Daily, and wondering out loud whether Resting Bitch Face is a superpower or just ...unfortunate?

For events where you can see Jen live in person, go here.

To listen to Yumi when she's on Double J playing her fave tunes and being generally unhinged, listen via the ABC Listen app.

Fresh off their success at the Sydney Writers Festival, Yumi and Jen get the lols remembering the utter nonsense that was My Day on a Plate. There's a similar column which Jen recommends called The Grub Street Diet, and Yumi likes a hilarious podcast that debunks bad diet advice.

Yumi and guest-host Jennifer Wong share their anxieties about what useful skills they'd have in a post-apocalyptic wasteland...

...And Yumi comes through with a really good Yoghurt Flatbread - which is good for right now - tonight even? But may also come in handy if we run out of bread but can still use a frypan.

A very good recipe here, and here, and this is the one Yumi uses which is 3/4 cup Greek yoghurt + 1 cup SR flour.
