May 15, 2026 Briony: Circus Tiger Rescue, Stage Four Plot Twist and Finding The Joy
Briony is the main event on the podcast this week and the joy is apparent.
But because life loves a plot twist, there are also some truly awful bits.
From growing up in a vet practice where her Dad was basically a superhero (including rescuing a literal Bengal tiger at 2am).
To over-annunciating her words wherever possible, because proper diction is important.
She landed her dream job and produced viral videos clocking millions of views for a living (what a flex).
Then Briony got the worst news imaginable and had to endure a cancer diagnosis that no one was prepared for.
Spoiler alert, she survives.
But the “after” hits hard too: chronic fatigue that feels like it will never lift.
Until she finds a life-altering process that sounds too good to be true and somehow gives her life (and joy) back.
There’s more here than we can tell you in a few sentences, so press play because we’ve Gotta Go.

May 08, 2026 Molly: Psycho Goat Survivor, Trendsetter and Crying Over Jam
It’s all about Molly this week and frankly, it’s about time.
This will probably be Molly’s favourite episode.
A couple of teasers for you:
Molly was hopeless with a refedex and outsourced her navigation needs.
She’s been planning outfits and setting trends since she was 18 months old and is still waiting for her Hollywood breakthrough.
She had dreams of being an adorable goat owner, but her reality was a psycho goat who tried to kill her daily.
Her entrepreneurial spirit started young with a travelling massage parlour and Game Boy upsells (weird combo, but her market lapped it up).
It was a great time taking a trip down memory lane, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

May 01, 2026 Single Sisters Betrayal, Home Battery Flexing and Press Stud Rage
One of us had a sudden, humbling realisation this week… and it involved babies, friendship, and a very overdue apology.
The other one had a few thoughts about what new parents actually need from you (hint: it’s not another tiny outfit with 400 press stud buttons).
One of us is still grieving a certain era we were meant to have… which was rudely sabotaged by the other.
Briony pointed out that Aussies will renounce their stance on renewables if there are rebates up for grabs.
Molly appreciated the ego boost when AI thought she was Reese Witherspoon.
We time-travelled back to our trip to China, where we nearly got trafficked or cast in a powdered milk ad…the details are still unclear.
We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

“In every way that we can, we should be reducing our dependence on fossil fuels … whether it’s changing the transport system for the delivery of goods, food and services around Australia to electrified railway systems. Or even only reducing our own dependence through the introduction of electric vehicles and so on and so forth.”

April 24, 2026 Drive Through Everything, Free Money Apps and Pumpkin Pollination
One of us turned 40 this week… and had big feelings about what a privilege it is.
The other one is still in newborn land, where time isn’t real, and sleep is a rumour.
Molly is campaigning for drive-through everything, because getting eggs shouldn’t require a full logistical plan.
We shared a celebrity encounter from the archives that still makes us cringe-laugh, and Briony used an accent Molly will never let her forget.
Briony proved that, even though she’s terrible at accents, she has a lot of useful information about the current state of the world and why we shouldn’t be cooking with gas.
Briony also had a bit of a sex education lesson, but not in the way you’d expect.
Molly wants millions of men castrated…well, not really. But it’s pretty bleak.
As always, it was a fun time but not a long time catching up.
And now we’ve Gotta Go!

April 22, 2026 Anne Geddes Vibes, Taco Structural Integrity, and a Five-Minute Childcare Fix
One of us discovered that a cute outfit can genuinely improve your mood (science says yes, and so do strangers who suddenly start complimenting you in the supermarket).
The other one has started carrying watercolours everywhere and whipping them out at random intervals.
One of us did an outrageously extra newborn photoshoot. Shout out to Anne Geddes (IYKYK)
Scheduling joy is saving us from the monotonous existence that is parenting young children.
We’ve got a list of good news stories to cleanse your doom-scrolling soul. Pandas are involved.
One of us goes on a warranted and passionate rant about beer drinkers and why they’re paying more tax than the gas industry.
We both casually fixed childcare in about five minutes. You’re welcome.
There’s also a Mexican food hack that will change your life (we’re talking structural integrity AND crunch).
Loads happening this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go! See you next week.

April 16, 2026 A Hunky Celebrity, A Tiny Reptile and An Accidental Social Media Fire
One of us had a close encounter with a very hunky celebrity this week.
The other one had a close encounter with a tiny reptile.
One of us got the short end of that stick.
A few other things happened, which we absolutely had to discuss:
Briony started a small social media fire accidentally offending true blue Aussie blokes.
Molly yelled at reckless youths on bikes (as is her civic duty).
Briony is quite partial to a good ol’ fashion scam and is eager to give all her money away to Australian Post, or perhaps a Nigerian Prince.
Molly gave some (not financial advice) about the stock market and how to manage your money in a time where funds might be tighter than usual. Ahem, thanks President Trump.
We both realised that we’re Boomers trapped in Millenial bodies (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
And we both ate the most delicious chicken burrito thanks to Chat GPT.
As sisters with three babies between us, we never have enough time to catch up, but we’re pretty pleased with the ground we covered today.
Gotta Go now, see you next week!
