Join us today for a stroll down memory lane to our favourite fashion moments from our teenage selves including the double tank top, ironic t shirts and cutting our own hair. We're also covering how good it would be to be arrested for driving while sleep deprived and the awkwardness of declaring the arrival of your period to your cleaner!

Hey lovers. It's another call in episode from you today! We asked you to tell us about your best WORST dates and breakup stories and you delivered! Thank you so much for trusting us with your tales and we hope that some of these moments shared will give you a laugh, maybe spark your memory of romances long gone or at least offer you some solidarity in the meantime.

If you've ever watched a movie or TV show and wished you could reach through the screen and eat the food -- this episode is for you! This week Gabby and Mel chat about their favourite on-screen food appearances. Maybe grab a snack before you listen to this one, we're about to get hungry. 

We're back this week to discuss some of your recent unpopular opinion submissions. We run the whole gamut in this one: from Taylor to slow cookers, The Office to nail art, beige clothes to ASMR - we were really entertained by all the things you cannot abide and hope you find it fun too.
