    how to find the one, the horror of dating a self-proclaimed 'nice guy' and 'most compatible' being a day ruiner

    Is there such thing as The One? That’s the big question at Lousy Digest HQ this week as CEO Holly and Kingtern Rory put their unprofessional relationship under scrutiny. We find out what’s sending their big naughty nickers right up their crotches with one of them suspected of cheating with a mystery spam eater and the other recalling how a koala hug quickly turned into true love. Does moon water work? Is Rory allowed to get ill? Has Holly got bad breath? We're covering all bases. As always, your questions are answered but please don’t take our word for it because this advice is extremely lousy!!!

    how to deal with a weird mother-in-law, why it's important to bark at men and rory calling me ugly for 2 mins straight

    The gossip is hot in the Lousy Digest office because CEO and Kingtern have both taken annual leave at the same time. Is something going on between them??? This week’s pod flies into your ears all the way from Cornwall and the chat is more casual than ever. In the conversation crosshairs are Holly’s post-flu appearance, Rory being compared to a carrot and holiday booking fails. All your questions are answered too, with some pretty lousy advice. Would you let your mother-in-law have a key to your house? No thanks.

    getting my mum to buy my first thong & how to handle boyfriend having awful dress sense

    It’s Fashion Week season in the real world, so CEO/Editor Holly is strutting down the Lousy Digest catwalk and dishing out all the style advice you never asked for. There is nobody more desperate to learn than Kingtern Rory, who is very quickly running out of fresh t-shirts to wear on the podcast. We find out why Holly was wearing a thong at Primary School, how to spend less on clobber and what trends are getting Rory’s knickers in a right old tangly twist. The chat may not always be casual but the advice is always lousy. And as EVERYONE is now saying, don’t take our word for it!

    why honesty isn't always the best policy, where did all these life coaches come from and hiding that I'm in a relationship

    Ever wondered what to do with your life? Well wonder no more because CEO/Editor Holly is firing off lousy advice left, right and centre on this week’s podcast. In the firing line are life coaches that are younger than you, people who don’t lie and her own behaviour on another podcast. Oh and the intern is now calling himself the Kingtern and is furious with his fiancée for not being honest about her relationship status. Obviously there are massive pants, completely natural chit-chat and answers to some of your questions!

    why getting dumped is the best thing ever, housemate revenge at uni & why holly’s phone’s in the bin

    We’re all getting in a Lousy time machine and heading back to uni this week to find out what Editor Holly and tiny intern Rory got up to during freshers week.  It’s not all sock puppets and soiled washing up bowls though, there’s also some pretty rudimentary dating advice that everyone going to university needs to hear and possibly ignore. As always there are twisted knickers, buckets of casual chit-chat and general discussion that is question-led. But don’t take our word for it!

    how to stop crying over a boy that doesn't care if you live or die

    Despite being the boss of a thriving magazine such as the Lousy Digest, success in print hasn’t always translated into victories in Editor Holly’s love life.  She dated the whole of Clapham before (don’t tell HR) finding Intern Rory and learned a lot along the way.  Take notes because in this episode you’re gonna learn why the usual dating advice is nonsense and find out how to spot when you’re being played.  Oh and Holly’s dad also joins to nearly get us cancelled after two episodes… Bye babe xxx Watch Lousy Advice on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@holymorridge Read The Lousy Digest on Substack: https://holymorridge.substack.com/ Lousy Advice socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatslousyadvice/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thatslousyadvice Holly’s socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollymorrisss/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@holymorridge Produced by: The Sheriff Learn more about your ad choices.
