✨WATCH ON YOUTUBE ✨ This week we’re diving into everything from the latest pop culture bombshells to a raw, emotional moment that had us both in tears - three-year-old Luna's birthday card from heaven. We kick off with sport — the Warriors’ tough NRL finals exit, the Black Ferns’ win over South Africa, and the frustrating lack of media coverage they’re getting.

Then it’s a pop culture rollercoaster:

👑 Prince Harry’s quick meet-up with King Charles

🎤 Mariah Carey’s Video Vanguard Award + new album buzz

🎶 Hilary Duff’s music comeback

💘 Jennifer Aniston’s rumored romance with a hypnotist

💍 Liam Hemsworth’s engagement news

From there, things get deeply personal as we open up about a powerful birthday moment that left us reflecting on grief, love, and the reality of carrying on after loss. It’s one of our most honest conversations yet.

We also share what we’re vibing right now — from concert season hype (hello Electric Ave!), skincare obsessions, and a game-changing fake tan, to what we’re watching on Netflix. Plus, a few exciting things we’ve got coming up ourselves.

💌 Funny, emotional, and totally unfiltered — this is Bestie Boos at its realest.

The Bestie Boos are back — slightly hungover, running on four hours of sleep, and recording the morning after Sam’s big 35th “Brat” birthday party (yes, inspired by Charli XCX). It’s Father’s Day, the vibes are chaotic, and we’re here to recap all the wild moments: the dancing, the pranks, our outfits, and just how much fun we had.

Then we dive into a juicy pop culture update:

• Our reaction to the newly announced Electric Avenue Festival lineup 2025 — why the headliner acts left us a little disappointed, but what we’re still excited for.

• The unexpected Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun rumors — are we into it? Spoiler: no.

• A quick take on Scribe’s new album and Swag 2 hype.

We also keep it real with some life updates and hilarious parenting stories:

• Sam’s GP spills the tea on the surge of patients asking for GLP-1 weight loss injections like Mounjaro — $600 a pop and a three-month commitment?!

• Sarah gets unsolicited (and painful) “baking tips” from a teacher who doesn’t get the chaos of being a full-time working mum.

• Sam shares a laugh-out-loud awkward moment at kids’ swimming lessons when Luna spotted something unexpected in the changing room.

• We reflect on how kids can be so blunt about grief, including a tough but honest conversation between our two little ones about Luna’s dad.

• Plus, the heart-warming surprise behind a stuffed star toy that feels like a special sign from Samuel 💫.

This episode is a mix of hangover chaos, raw parenting moments, and pop culture hot takes — pure Bestie Boo energy. Funny, emotional, messy, and real.

We can’t believe it – Bestie Boos is officially six months old! 🎉 In this episode, we celebrate how far we’ve come (without any big media backing!) and crack up over the silly things that make us, us – like how often we say “gal,” pet names for our partners (yes, Sarah calls her husband Big D 😅), and whether “garage carpet” actually makes you rich.

We dive into a juicy pop culture roundup:

✨ Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement buzz (thanks to his dad’s big mouth)

✨ Sabrina Carpenter’s new album and wild lyrics in Tears

✨ The return of Electric Ave 2026

✨ The Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy mystery

On the personal side, Sam chats about staying up too late each night, Sarah swears collagen is the secret to her better sleep, and we plan for Sam’s big birthday bash with some Charli XCX BRAT energy! (outfits, chaos, hangovers incoming 🍾). Things get real as we talk about Father’s Day in NZ and how tricky it can be.

And stick around for the big reveal… Sam’s birthday surprise is out of the bag, and let’s just say it involves Lorde 🙌

It's the perfect mix of friendship, pop culture, and the messy ups and downs of life. – everything you love about Bestie Boos.

Thanks for being part of our first six months, we couldn’t do it without you 💕

In this episode of Bestie Boos, we’re back with laughs, tears, and a whole lot of pop culture! Samantha shares the behind-the-scenes of her first-ever MC gig — stepping up in front of more than 100 people to fill in for none other than Kiwi news legend Mike McRoberts. We’ve even got live audio from the event plus Sarah’s unfiltered feedback on how it all went.

Then it’s time for our pop culture roundup:

• The success of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025

• Millie Bobby Brown and her husband adopting a baby

• The first look at The Devil Wears Prada 2

• VMA 2025 nominations and what we’re predicting

• Apple TV’s upcoming K-Pop series

• Why K-Pop Demon Hunters just made history on the Billboard charts

On the personal side, Sam opens up about a vulnerable moment at her mum’s birthday dinner. After a tough week solo-parenting while Luna was sick, one sassy waitress was the straw that broke the camel’s back — leading to tears, grief, and an honest chat about navigating life after losing Sam. Sarah shares her own struggles with motherhood right now (her son simply won’t stop talking!), and together we balance the tears with plenty of laughs.

We wrap up with what we’re vibing — including Emily in Paris binges, a new Netflix recommendation from Sarah, and dreams of better weather and healthier days ahead.

Join us for an episode that’s raw, real, funny, and full of heart — the ultimate mix of friendship, pop culture, and the ups and downs of life.

This week on Bestie Boos, Sam and Sarah are back with another round of highlights, lowlights, and plenty of chaos. From long (and we mean loooong) rugby prizegivings to kick-ons where 20-year-olds are suddenly asking for “mama cuddles,” nothing is off the table.

We dive into pop culture’s juiciest stories:

❤️‍🔥 Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl album buzz, plus her sweet New Heights podcast moment with Travis Kelce.

🚗 The Wiggles CEO drama—unfair dismissal or fair play?

🚨 Brooklyn and Nicola Beckham’s eyebrow-raising vow renewal (and the missing Beckhams).

🎒 Charlie Sheen’s brand-new documentary and his seven years of sobriety.

Plus, Sam spills all on her 35th birthday bash plans (hello Brat Party chaos) and the sneaky tricks we’ve pulled at parties before. We also ask: what’s the next prank we should unleash?

And in true Bestie Boos style, we round things out with the “That’s So Random” segment, featuring sisterly food myths, one-eyed contact lenses, and the shocking truth that Sam has still never had a grey hair.

It’s messy, funny, and a little unhinged—just how we like it.

This week on Bestie Boos, Sarah is fresh from her husband Michael’s nail-biting rugby final – a heartbreaking loss in the 81st minute that still led to a big night out, wild Uber dramas, and some serious clubroom laughs. Sam was there to witness it all… and somehow got roped into a challenge she didn’t see coming... and can't get out of.

We dive into a pop culture roundup featuring Rod Stewart’s eerie AI tributes, Kelly Clarkson’s grace under fire, the rise of new K-pop group Cordis, and exciting Freaky Friday 2 news. Then it’s onto the important stuff: why are mandarins suddenly tasting weird? Plus, what we’ve been streaming – from My Oxford Year to Wednesday season 2, Happy Gilmore 2, and a true-crime binge that spirals into a hilarious Bermuda Triangle debate.

Somewhere in between, we celebrate an absolute super-mum spotted at a kids’ trampoline park managing four kids like a pro. Expect laughs, gossip, random tangents, and a little chaos – exactly how Bestie Boos does it best.

This week on Bestie Boos, Sam catches Sarah up on a spicy weekend full of unexpected moments — from a very heated league final to an awkward restaurant kerfuffle that ended in tears (not ours, don’t worry 😅).

We deep dive into the biggest pop culture stories lighting up the group chats — Ozzy Osbourne’s epic funeral (seriously, it was giving royal energy), unexpected celeb couple rumours (Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson?!), and the K-pop Demon Hunters movie that has the kids fully obsessed.

Plus, we talk about solo parenting and the wild art of trying to go to the toilet alone when you have a toddler — Sam shares a hilarious live audio moment that every parent will relate to.

🎉 We also celebrate a huge podcast milestone! And decide on our next challenge...

We also reminisce on the times we got to go through the Koru Lounge with our previous jobs - bliss!
