Well all we can say is, if you weren’t there you missed out BIG TIME girls because we had some amount of fun in the Ah Hear! tent at Electric Picnic. We’ve had to edit some of the most scandalous bits out but there is still lots to enjoy. In this episode, Brenda and Julie talk about stage fright wees, the fight they had en route to the festival and which of the 2Johnnies they'd share a snack box with. Plus, we learn that Julie and Brenda still don’t know where the wee comes out.

You asked and we answered EVERYTHING. In this episode we talked about all those little bits you wanted to know about us but never had the chance to. We chat motherhood and marriage, watching The Secret, getting birthday chipper and people wondering if Brenda is really that positive (she really is). We start though by slating Julie’s necklace - well, we can’t be positive all the time.
