Welcome back to G&T: Sips and Giggles - The Lock-In, a bonus episode where we rant about life's modern annoyances.

In this episode, we dive into the topic of shrinkflation—when products get smaller but prices stay the same. From chocolate bars to toilet rolls, we explore real-life examples and discuss whether this practice is a smart business move or a deceitful consumer con. Join us as we debate the ethics behind shrinkflation and ponder the need for consumer protests.

Don't miss our insights on how companies maintain packaging and brand trust while subtly giving us less for more. Tune in, sip along, and let's giggle through the nonsense together!

The duo also dish on the latest Big Brother season, diving into the drama, contestant dynamics, and a few eyebrow-raising controversies.

With the next episode marking the Sips and Giggles Series One finale, you won’t want to miss this one. So grab your favourite drink, settle in, and join Glenn and Tina for a fun, reflective, and fabulously gossipy catch-up!

In this fabulously nostalgic episode of G&T: Sips & Giggles, Glenn and Tina Leggs Tantrum hop into their tacky time machine – held together with sequins, hairspray and sheer determination – to celebrate one of the most iconic events in Irish queer history: Alternative Miss Ireland (AMI).

From its anarchic beginnings in 1987 to its glittering finale in 2012, AMI was more than just a drag pageant. It was a cultural movement – equal parts outrageous performance, biting satire, and heartfelt activism. With categories like Daywear, Swimwear and Talent (often stretched to their very limits), AMI raised over €335,000 for HIV/AIDS charities and helped launch the careers of legends like Panti Bliss, Shirley Temple Bar, and Veda.

Tina shares her own journey from backstage nerves to being crowned Alternative Miss Ireland – complete with behind-the-scenes gossip, outfit drama, and a performance that brought the house down. Glenn and Tina also dive into the community spirit of AMI, its political punch, and why it still casts a rhinestoned shadow over Ireland’s queer scene.

Whether you were there in the Olympia cheering from the balcony or are just hearing about AMI for the first time – this one’s for the misfits, the icons, and everyone who believes in the power of drag to change the world.

Strap in – and tune in – as we take you on a glitter-drenched journey through the legacy of AMI.

In this fabulously full-bodied episode of G&T Sips and Giggles: One For The Road, Glenn and Tina Leggs Tantrum serve up a cheeky cocktail of queer culture, royal drama, national obsessions, and reality TV chaos.

First, the pair sip their way through Mid-Century Modern – the new Hulu/Disney+ series hailed as a “spiritual cousin” to The Golden Girls, starring Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, and the late Linda Lavin in her final screen role. Expect warm takes on chosen family, ageing in the LGBTQ+ community, and a whole lot of Palm Springs fabulousness.

Next, it’s time for a royal reckoning as they unpack Prince Harry’s turbulent month — from his dramatic exit from the charity Sentebale to his ongoing battle over UK security and the diverging paths he and Meghan Markle seem to be taking.

Then it’s back to Blighty for some classic British banter about the weather. Why are we so obsessed? Is climate consciousness finally catching up with our endless moaning? And what even is in garden soil that boosts our mood? (Spoiler: it’s not just the Pinot.)

Finally, Tina and Glenn preview the glittering line-up for Celebrity Big Brother 2025 — from Mickey Rourke to JoJo Siwa — and ask whether this revamped series can live up to the chaos of its heyday. With a smaller house and live audience feedback on the cards, it’s bound to be explosive.

Tune in for nostalgia, nobility, and nasal spray – all in a tight forty-minute package. Stay shady, but in the good way.

From “I do” to “Why did we do this?”, this week on G&T: Sips & Giggles, Glenn and Tina are strutting down the aisle into the fabulous, frazzling world of weddings.

Whether you’re deep in the throes of planning, newly hitched, or just here for the drama and drag, we’re talking all things matrimonial – from towering costs and family politics to dodgy venues, glitter disasters, and the eternal mystery of the unsolicited toaster gift.

Glenn shares tales from his own 2019 wedding (yes, there was a spreadsheet), while Tina spills the prosecco on crashing nuptials in full drag, surviving portaloos in heels, and officiating as a sexy vicar.

We cover:

• The true cost of “the big day” – and the hidden fees that sneak up like your ex at the reception
• Stress, spreadsheets, and the fine art of saying “no” to Aunt Maureen
• DIY disasters vs pro planning wins
• Inclusive wedding practices for all kinds of love stories
• And whether three fondue sets is really too many (spoiler: it is)

Plus, we toast to joy, love, and planning a day you’d actually want to attend – even if you’re just there for the cake.

So fluff your veil, pour a glass, and join us for 55 minutes of confetti, chaos, and cackles.
