This week, we’re weighing in on the classic game of Bingo, Kelly Clarkson vs. the Toy Shop, swapping opinions on the fine art of group gifts, and getting into the dos and don’ts of wedding present etiquette. When is a group gift a great idea, and when does it just go overboard? And should you bring a wedding gift when "your presence is our present".

Then we get to our big topic: The October Canon Event. What is it, why is everyone talking about it, and have you experienced one yourself? Tune in for the stories, opinions, and unfiltered debate and tell us what you think.

In episode 10, we’re celebrating 10 episodes of the podcast with the long-awaited return of our old lady words, the listener-favourite segment from episode one. We also catch up on the latest headlines, including a Russian plague case, and swap memories of lockdown and the strange ways it changed how we connect with people.

Things get a little more mysterious as we dive into true crime, including the disturbing Christa Pike case. Plus, we confess to the social media rabbit hole of using burner accounts to peek at people’s profiles and ask the question: when does curiosity become a full-blown stalk?

To finish, we get real about parenting tweens. Sarah opens up about the joys and challenges of raising her son, who has ADHD, and we talk about the big emotions, shifting boundaries and everyday struggles that can come with the tween years. Whether you’re parenting a neurodivergent child or simply trying to survive the pre-teen stage, this honest conversation is for you.

Join us for listener-favourite segments, curious internet habits, true crime and a heartfelt chat about family life. Like, follow and share the episode—and tell us: what’s your go-to old lady word?

Sarah watched the AFL Grand Final, while Joel only tuned in for Kylie Minogue’s opening performance. Joel shares the horrors of his trip away to Scary Island, gives us a glimpse into his high-school musical era, and Sarah catches up on the latest from the Lindsay Clancy trial. Then Sarah puts Joel in the hot seat with the hard questions about dating as a single dad — before wrapping things up with a chaotic round of Shag, Marry, Throw Over a Cliff.
