This episode, Lucy explains the story behind the new engagement ring she chose for herself... 2 years after getting engaged and Sophie shares wether she would trust a partner to pick out a ring for her- I think by now you can probably guess what she had to say about that!

The conversation of course turns to be about children and their paranormal abilities, because is there anything scarier than a child saying they can see a ghost...

Hey! Since you’re here, press the follow button! It takes less than a second and does more than you can imagine for our podcast 🫶

We launched a podcast and immediately started talking about rabies, vagina cysts, and ticks 💀

If that doesn’t tell you exactly who we are, nothing will.

Episode 1 is live!

WELCOME TO Background Nonsense — the unhinged, hilarious, slightly feral sister podcast you didn’t know you needed.

In our pilot episode, we come out swinging with the most chaotic mix imaginable:

🦇 rabies,

👶 babies,

🥚 vagina cysts,

🪲 ticks,

…and that’s only scratching the surface.

If you’ve ever had a conversation with your sister that somehow spiralled from “a normal topic” into medical horror stories, feral animals and something you probably shouldn’t Google… you’re in the right place.

This is the episode where you instantly learn who we are:

Chaotic. Honest. Slightly dramatic. Accident-prone. Laugh-at-our-own-misfortune people.

And if you listen, you officially become one of us.

This is the start of something wild — and we’re SO glad you’re here for the ride.

Today, we unpack the raw truth about hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnancy — the day-to-day realities, the impact it has on everyone around you, and the big question: would Lucy go through it again?

We also dive into the viral “man or bear in the woods” debate, what it reveals about women’s safety, and the pressure of raising boys in today’s world.

And because it wouldn’t be an episode of Background Nonsense without it, we’ve got a wild animal attack story — this time, the unbelievable case of a woman who needed a full face transplant after her dog mauled her.

As always, the chat is unfiltered, chaotic, and completely unpredictable — full of laughs, tangents, and the kind of nonsense you never see coming.

Don’t forget to follow, rate us 5 stars, and share us with all your friends.

This week we’re back doing what we do best — laughing, oversharing, and spiralling into the kind of chat that feels like you’re right here with us.

Expect nostalgia, chaos, and at least five moments you’ll swear have happened in your own life.

🔥 PLUS… our very first listener story has landed — and it’s JUICY.

It sends us down a rabbit hole talking about trauma among hospital staff, and honestly, it’s a reminder of how incredible healthcare workers are around the globe. We’re definitely not qualified to diagnose PTSD, but we are qualified to hype up the heroes who face unimaginable things every day. We love you!

🎙️ BIG NEWS: Lucy finally got a microphone.

Less big news: Did she… actually turn it on? (Place your bets.)

We’re also letting you hear a bit of the chaos from behind the scenes — including our attempt at recording a brand-new intro. Spoiler: it’s a hilarious fail, but at least now you know exactly where the nonsense happens.

Thank you SO much for listening — your support means everything.

If you haven’t already, follow the podcast, drop us some stars, and share this episode with someone who needs a laugh. It helps more people find us, and we appreciate you more than you know.

This week we’re diving straight into near-death experiences, plane-crash stories (featuring Peter’s extremely questionable “facts”), hauntings at home, Tiger King flashbacks, animal rescues, and a whole lot more.

Plus, Lucy does a little shameless begging for the internet to work its magic and make this podcast big enough for her to stay on maternity leave just a tiny bit longer. Come on, internet — do your thing.

And honestly… that’s still not everything. We cover WAY too much to fit in a description, so you’ll just have to listen to hear it all — including Sophie’s shocking confession about her dislike of podcasts (yes… on a podcast).

If you’re loving the chaos, follow us on Spotify & Instagram, share this episode with your besties, and hit us with a 5-star rating — it helps us so much.

You asked for more details, we listened... Sophie goes into more detail about what really happened on that farm and talks us through another horryfying 'I shouldn't have survived this' experience.

But its not all serious, we chat about white lies, the power of saying no and tell tales from our childhood living in an what felt like an animal rescue centre.

Were only 4 able episodes in and already our obsession with animal attacks, ghostly encounters and survival stories is dominating our chat, so we'd love to hear from you if you have a outrageous tale to tell!

Don't forget to give us a follow, throw us some stars and check out our instagram page. It really does make a big difference- apparently! xx

This week we finally introduce ourselves properly… kind of. Between totally baseless “strategies” for winning competitions and our usual chaotic sister-chat, you’ll get an even deeper peek into our lives — the good, the ridiculous, and the “how are they still alive?” moments.

And of course, what’s an episode without Sophie facing yet another life-or-death scenario?

When it really comes down to it… could YOU stab someone in self-defence?

Listen to hear whether Soph could — and why this story is just the beginning. There are plenty more “I Shouldn’t Be Alive: Sister Edition” tales coming your way.

If you’re loving the madness, don’t forget to follow & drop some stars — it helps more listeners find us! xx

We couldn’t wait a whole week… so here’s Episode 2 dropping early because patience is not our strong point.

This week, Sophie gets frauded, our neighbour is (allegedly) eaten by a lion, and somehow the Rockettes have us fully ready for Christmas in November.

We also reveal the chaotic (but honestly, iconic) origin of our mantra:

✨ “Keep your spirits high and your blood pressure low.”

And as always… we attempt to stay on topic and absolutely fail.

Strap in — it’s a bumpy, hilarious, deeply unhinged ride.

Thank you SO much for all the love already. We’re obsessed with making this podcast and even more obsessed that you’re listening.

S & L xx
