Playing Devil's Avocado

This week Claire and Lisa join Clubhouse but don't quite know what it is... they also talk about Harry and Meghan and if they've gone too far this time... Also there's going to be a Robbie Williams biopic and everyone is excited. They discuss your feet and what they say about your health, and why needing a nap isn't a lazy thing, it's actually biological. There's a big talk about French TV shows and which ones Netflix has right now, Real Housewives gets a new franchise, and it's OH SO GOOD, and they ask the question, can you train your brain not to forget EVERYTHING you need to do?

This week Claire and Lisa talk about Gaytime popcorn and how freaking delicious it is (#notanad)... plus the French doctor who prescribes that we all eat, drink and make lurve, ooh la la! They talk about which kinds of rest we all need, Bryan Cranston's show Your Honor on Stan, Nigella and her quivering mounds, hating people talking in the movies and through their masks and whether Jane Fallon books are good or not. They discuss whether you'd tell someone the truth if they told you they liked a story you didn't write but they thought you did and ask the very important question, what's the actual difference between brie and camembert?

Also this week, a chat about sitting in the cinema, day-drinking thanks to the movie Another Round, Superstore the TV show which is The Office in K Mart  (allegedly) and primers. Plus, Kendall Jenner's lack of genitals, getting all your logins in order on Facebook and they ask the question, would you rather quarantine alone or with your partner?

This week, Claire and Lisa discuss new research that says that if you put on weight in older age you may live longer. This is good news. All the cheese. They talk about people learning languages out loud on the bus, how annoying it is when someone tells you they just want to "tweak" what you've written, and then ruins it, and applaud  the OTHER Jackie Weaver and explain why she's a hero. There's Culture Club -- including The Dig, Firefly Lane, The Woman Before Wallis and why Erik Thomson is so lovely in Aftertaste -- a big old dollop of whinging about cleaning, a chat about doing trivia with a 100-year-old man who knows a lot more than you do, and they ask the question, why doesn't going to the dentist get easier with age?

This week Claire and Lisa discover that the length of your fingers can dictate what you like to eat -- yes really! They talk food choices, what gets their goat this week - including the Queensland premier - and ask the question, would you answer the door if you weren't wearing a bra? There are also a chats about what we will all look like 25 years from now if we don't fix our work from home habits, why it's good to be grumpy and going to the theatre -- and they ask some big questions like why is wine so wanky, do you want to correct people's grammar even though it's rude to do so and would you star in a movie about Princess Diana? There's a What hurts now about Claire's love of the podiatrist, and Lisa waxes lyrical about Soul, the Pixar movie.

This week Claire and Lisa discuss It's A Sin, the show about the start of the AIDS crisis in the UK's gay scene, and boy is it amazing.  They discuss The Dry, Eric Bana's hotness levels, why someone needs to take Brooklyn Beckham's phone off him, Nigella's Lasagne of Love and falling over because you're wearing a mask. There's a cheese toastie Snackattack, the cheapest and best foot treatment you will ever do and they pose the question, is it wrong to post photos of your holiday in Aus when the rest of the world is in lockdown? They also talk about cleaning out your spice drawer and ask, what is it with ALL THAT CUMIN?!!

They're back! This week Claire and Lisa can't get enough of Armie Hammer's eating habits, candles shaped like penises and the design trend the world is calling Japandi. They're also talking "gymjuries" and Lisa's painful experience with her cleaning tools. There's a long LONG Culture Club where they discuss Bridgerton, I'm a Celeb, Pretend It's a City and a load of great books (one recommended by Queen Nigella!) and in Beauty Spot, they ask, would you get your lips done? And if that isn't enough they also talk doomscrolling and how to stop it, why having something to look forward to is really important right now and ask, is everyone changing their masks as often as they should be?

This week, Claire and Lisa give you the last episode of the year... and it's just like any other episode. They tell you how to make sure you can get through Christmas without losing your mind, what their new year's resolutions will be and what they're buying their mums for Covid Christmas. They discuss The Prom and why it's so surprising that Claire likes a musical (but is it offensive?), the movie Promising Young Woman, wine shows and how winning a gold medal means nothing, and they ask, is 2021 going to be the miracle cure-all we want it to be? They talk about Real Housewives and Bethany Frankel's mantra for the new year, there's a Snack Attack about dips, and they discuss what it was all households had domestic fights about in 2020 (eg "Do you have to shut the door so loudly?"). Happy Christmas and a lovely 2021 to you all,  and see you after the break!!! Come to The PDAs group on Facebook and stay in the loop about all things Playing Devil's Avocado....

This week Claire and Lisa discuss Lisa's small nasal cavities, snoring and snacks from Aldi. They also discuss Shuggie Bain, the Booker Prize winner and a delightful read, Happiest Season, which Claire says is rubbish even though Schitts Creek star Daniel Levy is in it, the sheer ridiculousness that is Nigella's Christmas Table, how to wear long skirts and why people seem to need advice about it, and ask is it just them or are all celebrities bringing out candles right now? Lisa waxes lyrical about her fave chef Adam Liaw and his recipes of the year, Claire loves Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix and they talk about how Claire is worried she's going off wine. Plus Lisa asks, what are your most-used emojis and what does that say about you?

This week Claire and Lisa discuss The Undoing and whether the ending was satisfactory or just really annoying and then get stuck into Nicole's polarising coat. They talk about the man in the gym who talked about his mum when Claire went in and made her feel old, Lisa's loving a new podcast, why ice blocks are making a comeback and why walking in bare feet in the shops is JUST SO GROSS, plus  they ask, how often should you shower? There's chat about Jason Bateman's hair and if he's dyeing it the wrong colour, plus the very real issue of Christmas panic, and would you like to get up earlier to have an "hour of power" or would you rather stick pins in your eyes?
