Beatrice's citizenship interview is coming up, while Rosemary will not be eschewing HER loyalty to Ireland any time soon – she's heading home, in fact, to eat some delicious pastries and breathe in the sea air. We talk about her homecoming plans, our Dad's obsession with his bluetooth speaker, and why sometimes the right answer is not the BEST answer.

Beatrice is on her holidays, so we're running a previously-not-made-public episode from the Patreon on the main feed this week! She'll be back next week with (surely) some dramatic stories from her trip to Italy and back xo

Are there any things that you – for whatever reason – simply don't think you can pull off?! And, if so, where did this belief come from? (Was it from your mother, tell us the truth)

Because we have some! Also, you're welcome for the image of Rosemary as a large piece of playdough in a string vest.

Things we mention include:

• the bloop 
• the concept of crotch gobbling shorts 
• Worzel Gummidge 
• Ashley Graham's daily affirmations

Rosemary's on Mounjaro – or, rather, compounded tirzepatide – and has a lot of conflicted feelings about it. We're talking shrinking celebrities, the rise of GLP-1s and the massive pendulum swing from body positivity to whatever we're seeing now in this frankly confusing episode of Not Without My Sister.

Things we mention include:

• The Guardian's Today in Focus podcast: What happens when you stop weight loss jabs?
• Em Clarkson and Alex Light's Should I Delete That?: The rise of Reform and GLP-1s
• The chefs creating specific menus for Ozempic patients

Roman has croup (so says Dr Rosemary), Beatrice's kids have norovirus (so says an actual doctor), Beatrice got a $175k quote for home improvements and Roman needs a tongue tie release (maybe!) – we're slowly settling into our new lives without one another (but also not without one another because that's what phones are for) and catching up on what's new in our respective houses.

Why are we always the girls who get thrown in the pool – or have wedding cake smashed in their faces?! Plus, Bea's big travel plans, Rosemary's big homecoming, and what we'd each like to do and see back in Ireland.

We're talking about being an embarrassing millennial, according to the Guardian. What's wrong with invisible socks? Why is Rosemary so mortified by her own generation? And what would it take to get Claire Mac Cabe into a pair of Nike Air Max?

An ode to the Weight Watchers crisped rice bars, and other things (we swear this episode is not about weight loss!)

Beatrice moved house, Rosemary is grieving, and Beatrice can't take a compliment (unless it's about her looks) – but she loves bananas now, so that's exciting.

Things we discuss include:

• Snowflakes Embryo Adoption & Donation (a division of Nightlight Christian Adoptions)
• I haven't listened to this NPR podcast yet, but they get actual professionals to discuss whether or not we should let our kids quit things, and that seems like it would be valuable
