  • S4. Ep 16. The one about the Logies, and are you a BEC?

    This week, Claire and Lisa discuss the Logies and how nice it was to have it back on TV (and how Chrissie Swan is their new hero!). They talk about cleaning products and Claire takes the crown of most boring person on earth with her chat about Aldi washing up liquid. There's the BEC -- that person at work who can't do anything right, and what that means (clue: BEC stands for Bitch Eating Crackers).... there's a Meno Moment talk about over-medicalising Menopause, some Good Beauty spot chats about Trinny skincare and whether manicures are too exxy for words, and there's the launch of a new PDA campaign #putmuminthepicture.

  • S4. Ep 14. The one about Swedengate and "good" pyjamas

  • S4. Ep 13. The one about 'sleep inertia' and falling over in the street.

    This week Claire and Lisa discuss the upcoming Jubilee and how they feel about the Queen having a big old party. There's a chat about sleep inertia -- the idea that you can't wake up in the morning -- and Lisa confesses that she's getting more like an old person every day and waking up super early. There's some What Hurts Now about how Sydney's streets are terrifyingly slippery at the moment, a confession about love and Ed Sheeran, a chat about Kettle Chips in Snack Attack and the best time to eat them (not at 11.01am, 3.14pm or 9.31pm, as they're 'danger' times apparently). Everyone's excited for season 5 of feelgood tv show Somebody Feed Phil and they ask the big question, would you go to see the Abba Voyage show, knowing they're just "abbatars" and not real people?

    This week Claire and Lisa talk about the election result - and Julie Bishop's Ch.9 glow up. There's a chat about getting angry in Meno Moments -- and why being on HRT is such a leveller (and getting taken off it can be hell!), plus Lisa had a facebook fight with a stranger! There's some new ALDI chocolate that they're loving and in Food for Thought, Claire talks through her annoyance at waiters who tell you how all the food was made and what influenced it. Just give us our meals, mate!  There's a Culture Club chat about Everything Everywhere All At Once, and why Michelle Yeoh is a hero at 59 (what a kick arse legend!) as well as Conversations With Friends -- the new Sally Rooney TV series -- and they're both watching Celeb Apprentice, too. Oh, and Claire asks the question: is s sign of being old not knowing who Kid Laroi is... (the answer is probably yes.)

They are both reading the same book -- Lessons in Chemistry -- and both love it, plus they also both enjoy the world's most stupid TV show, The Pentaverate. As well, they talk the TikTok trend for putting on your makeup with cling wrap, why there are some cleaning products you just don't need (including one close to Claire's heart), there's more chat about air fryers and What Hurts Now (Lisa's back), and they ask the question Do we all just want to not talk in a hairdresser or do we like to interact?

  • S 4. Ep 9. The one about falling out of love and menopause mentors.

    This week Claire and Lisa can hardly contain their excitement as it's time to see Robbie Williams in concert. But before that, they discuss Gwyneth Paltrow's menopause mentor, hating on the Beckham kids and why Aldi beef pies are so damn good. There's also a chat about dry conditioner, how to fall out of love easily and why people folding things is the new TikTok sensation. Add Culture Club's insights into A Very British Scandal and Graham Norton's newest novella and there's a mighty fine episode here indeed.

    This week Claire and Lisa are overexcited about Harry Styles and Shania Twain duetting, they wax lyrical about Gumption and cleaning products, chat about getting your flaps out in bed (hey, we mean the flaps on the pillowcases!) and discuss why a $60 tool to lift the mattress may be what's missing in their lives. There's a Culture Club about the most harrowing shows on TV and some very feel good movies, they discover that the 90s are back -- see you at the rave! -- and there's a chat about the delights of a seafood buffet. And if all that isn't enough they also ask the big question, should these nine words be removed from our vocabulary?
