Episode 59 - 'Can I borrow your nail scissors,' asks the stranger

from Rein it In with Thom and Dunn · host Christine Thom and Vic Dunn

This week we’re chatting, laughing, story telling and discussing how going to the theatre can actually physically break a person. From the forced Mexican irish wave (it's only your arms) of people getting to their seats, to cramped legs, numb arses and theatres that clearly haven’t adapted for the more generously upholstered among us… was the standing ovation actually appreciation, or simply everyone trying to get circulation back in their lower body? We cover medical issues that suddenly make us feel older than we’d like, and question whether some alternatives to HRT should actually come with a health warning. WIDL returns… what is it? Never heard of it before? Listen in and tell us what you think. Carti the cat is horny, somebody’s dog apparently has needs, and if you can’t sleep, it may be better to sort yourself out (not with a pet) Standard podcast behaviour really. Dunn has a serious dilemma question and Thom’s answer is an immediate and very aggressive “absolutely f’ing not.” We’re also glad some things seem to be disappearing from society… high heels and swim pants. Who would wear them is the bigger question. Mr P ICT asks what’s the funniest thing you’ve ever told a child off for, which naturally leads us into stories involving a coach and a moon. As always, chaos, oversharing, questionable opinions and far too much honesty. Come join us. Ears in, eyes down
