We have our own problems, but we're not interested in solving those - these are real problems from real people getting advice from people who have no business giving advice about anything - us!  It's a lot of fun - first episode of our new series!

We love our friends - everyone does, but we still have awkward moments with them.  Mandy and Ellen have one on this podcast when Ellen talks about a friend Mandy broke up with, and Ellen didn't know they were back together!  It's all about friends this week.

Holidays are always awkward. Rooms that don't look anything like what you booked, air mattresses when you're fatter than your husband and you keep rolling him off, getting upgrade to first class with kids, eating weird things and staying in weird places.  Mandy and Ellen have had all the awkward moments!

Ellen has to call Mandy again today because they are still in lockdown. Doesn't stop them having awkward moments. Mandy tells a particularly awkward story about an elderly man in her car and Ellen recalls her most horrifying awkward moment that still haunts her to this day.  Oh and lots of stuff & nonsense in between.

Kids are renowned for giving you awkward moments, and Mandy and Ellen have 6 of the buggers between them.  Hear about when Ellen's son was looking at porn, when she was drinking wine when she wasn't supposed to, when Mandy dobbed on her mum and her Aunty and about her potty mouth gorgeous daughter.  Such funny stuff.  Bloody kids.

Ellen tells one of the grossest stories you will ever hear about an eye booger, Mandy has lied on her resume heaps of times, and made a massive error of judgement at a gig for Accountants.  Special guest today is the hilarious Mark McConville who has had plenty of awkward moments at work over the years.  It's a funny one!

Is there anything more awkward than going to the doctors when it's to do with your dangly bits?  Probably not, but we go there.  Dangly bits, bits that are dangling that shouldn't be, neighbours looking at your bits....the lot.  Enjoy and maybe don't eat while you're listening. 

Mandy and Ellen live in Mullumbimby, arguably the most famous anti-vaccination hub in Australia.  Today they talk about the anti-vaccers and anti-maskers that are in their communities - it's a little bit serious and a little bit funny.  All the conspiracy theories, the people with high IQ's, where do you even get an IQ test, the QR codes....they cover it all.  It had to be done.

Oh we've all had them.  Those moments where you think you're the most fabulous, interesting, talented person at the party....and then it happens.  The stumble, the repeating of something inane, or even the checking of a young man's teeth.  Today our guest is the wonderful Kat Davidson who we think is adorable when drunk - her husband....not so much.  Enjoy and cheers!

Welcome to our new series - Awkward Gully - where we dip into that little pit of awkwardness that happens when you put your foot in it, say the wrong thing, trip over, fart....all the things that give you that fleeting sense of shame.  Today we talk about the dumb things we've said when we've met famous people and our special guest is Ellen's husband Alex who really takes the cake when meeting a super famous actor.
