Rein it In with Thom and 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

Dunn takes on swimming… and discovers it’s not just “get in and splash about”, oh no, there are rules. Actual lane etiquette. Who knew? Just as she finds her rhythm and perfects the polite overtake… someone jumps in and ruins the whole thing. Will she go back, or is this the end of Dunn vs the pool? We introduce some old WIDLs, including one word that’s both completely gross… and oddly useful if you ever fancy getting out of hospital early 👀 BMP this week, curly hair. How many products does one head actually need? Bottles everywhere, routines longer than a Netflix series… or do you just leave it and hope for the best? Food chat turns serious, a pasty under the spotlight. Specifically… the ear. Why do we love it? Why do we hate it? And what actually is it? And on a slightly more serious note… Only Vans (with wind), please stop feeding the weird. You might think you’re helping… you’re probably part of the problem. Thom has thoughts. Strong ones. We’re also sharing some great podcasts, Instagram pages we’re loving right now, and taking a moment for Victoria Wood, 10 years on, still missed, still brilliant. ........And so much more.... eyes down, plug us in your ears

Do you share your takeaway, not full-on Smithy level, but Thom admits she’s not sharing her gyozas, while Dunn’s a bit more generous… or does it depend what you’ve ordered? Be honest now, did you share the kids’ Easter chocolate… or just “help them out” a little too much? We get into the world of Vinted, what on earth is acceptable packaging, and when does it just become just wrong?! Plus, what do you do when you’ve only got one loo in the house and your teenager’s in there with their phone like they’ve moved in permanently. We also play a round of Break A Take and share the little things people have done this week that made us question... life as we get older And Dr Dunn has discovered a spray to stop that “over 40s” smell… apparently it’s a thing, which is slightly concerning for both of us. No burping this episode - but there is mention of a Chode and a d'wang! Think girth 

We're back in shag manor and there is no podcast barker  - all is quiet... well, there is a burp or two What do you like about a rummage? It’s an important question… We do try to include a “serious” segment in our episodes — it just doesn’t always stay serious for very long. We’re not here to make life miserable; we’re here to spark a bit of thought, without taking ourselves too seriously. We might not have a big platform, but we’re here to make you laugh, cringe, think, and most importantly, relate. So wherever you are, just keep listening. In this episode: 👉 Thom asks the all-important question… what’s the difference between dirty and kinky? (Brace yourself.) 👉 Dunn brings some interesting facts to the table 👉 And Thom introduces a new gadget that could change your chin forever Oh… and there’s an unexpected appearance from a bottle of Pepsi Max and a touch of acid reflux for good measure. and sohhhhh much more Strap in lads and ladies   

We’re back! with our second attempt with our new equipment, so all being well our voices should be a little more crisp and clear… aside from the occasional interruption from the Podcast Barker 🐶. We’re hoping to be recording again soon from the legendary Shag Manor, but for now this episode has a bit of everything. Thom stumbled across a very interesting purchase while searching for tights, while Dunn brings along some facts, and you can understand what she means this time! We chat about all the things we probably shouldn’t, including why women might need something called a “Snail Nap”… apparently they can sleep for three years. Sounds appealing. We also discover that whales are a bit gross, small children aren’t much better, and frankly… teachers deserve medals. Our Dick of the Week goes to a certain man in politics who suggested changing International Women’s Day, and Thom has a few choice words about why that definitely isn’t happening. Halfway through recording, Thom suddenly realises we haven’t actually recorded the video for most of the podcast… brilliant start. We also wander into a chat about Ozempic and the unexpected benefits the US is seeing. Meanwhile, we’ve come up with an anagram for FACEBOOK and Thom launches in, whilst Dunn suggests Plant Bingo (and no, it’s not the kind where you win a palm tree at Mecca), She’s also starting to lose herself in solitaire where reading could be more beneficial So tuck in, grab a beer, and give it a listen, or listen when you’re on a walk, driving, or wandering around the supermarket…We dare you.

We’re back, and somehow what started as absolutely nothing turned into a full blown game. Proof, if it were ever needed, that mentally we’re still somewhere around Year 9. This week we’re asking: What’s one thing you didn’t try until you were older? Curry • What was your “luxury” item growing up, hairdryer or electric knife? • The word “just”, why does it grate when someone “just” drops it into a sentence? And is “we” simply an upside down “me” • Car phrases or calf raises, listen carefully when Dunn speaks, what did you hear? Thom goes Dr Dunn and finds out what Sea Cucumbers have! • Biscuit of the month. It’s about to be all Tuc n Nice. Thank you for the love on our Instagram lately, the views have jumped and we see you. Keep following us on socials @ReinitinwithThomandDunn or email us at [email protected] with your answers, opinions or general outrage, no… not at us! As always, mildly educational, slightly unhinged, and absolutely unnecessary. Just how we like it. *we're having a few issues with our new tech, bear with us, or is that bare with us 

How old are we, really? One minute we’re off shopping for new Podcast equipment, the next we’ve lost a chunk of our lives in the M&S cheese section. Time theft? Absolutely. Regrets? None. We tackle the age-old debate of kebab before you drink, and yes, we’ve decided it’s actually the superior option. There are many reasons for this. Kebabee breath being just one, which leads us neatly into a story of its own. Thom is increasingly concerned that dry robes are replacing Crocs. Especially when worn by people who have never seen the business end of a lake. Ever. It’s giving strong karate family popping into Asda after class energy. We dive into a women’s magazine, fuelled by questionable brainwaves from a bloke! Plus ideas from a Mary who will never receive an Amazon parcel. Ever. We workshop how she could improve her letterbox with a bit of fabric and optimism. We also apologise in advance for the podcast barker moment where Thom shouted at an Amazon driver to “MOVE ON”. She didn’t. But she absolutely wanted to. We touch on the media's obsession with the Beckhams and why being women in our 50s might have a slightly different take than the rest of the internet. There’s also a weekly check-in: What have you done to be a dickhead this week? And if you counted every FFS or “feck off”, where would you be by Sunday night? We discuss what Dunn would put on her CV as a strength.  Why you should never trust a wet fart, and how it’s not a personal failure, it’s biology. Sprinkled throughout are some Dr Dunn and Dr Thom facts, because, obviously. Enjoy. Head on over. Dive in.

We’re in Staithes for our first recording of 2026, joined by Sarah and baby Lydia (aka Linda), and honestly… it goes exactly how you’d expect. We kick off with a WIDL, some absolute surprises in there, and a few you’ll definitely start using yourself. Then we hit Clump of Mash (why does no one understand this?) and immediately descend into laughter, including a strong detour into dingleberries, because of course we do. What BMP comes up, and let’s just say… one of the opinions might be a touch harsh!  Dr Dunn has clearly been “researching” again and drops the bombshell that platypuses create custard. Yes, really. Followed by some oozing facts you may wish you’d never heard. Sarah takes us down a road involving nipples, pulling things you shouldn’t, and accidentally inventing a dog rescue contraption. It spirals. Naturally. Somewhere in there, Super Superworm gets a new mate. We ask the question: What would you do if you were invisible? The answers… worrying. Especially Dunn’s. We’ve also invented a new Cornish pasty for Greggs. Working title: The Pastry Flap. We await the call. Amongst the absolute nonsense, we do manage to touch on some serious stuff too, but mostly it’s laughter, friendship, and pure off-the-rails energy. You can absolutely tell why we’re all friends. BONUS: Sounds We Don’t Like (Horror Edition) Because some noises should be illegal:   * The Drop of a poo * Air raid siren * Thrutching * Something being sick * Baulking noise * Burping Enjoy the ride… and maybe, best to, listen with headphones 😘

We’re officially 2 years old, and it’s nearly Christmas — and as we all know, Thom is not a fan. She breaks down her festive loves (there are a few) and her loathes… including the annual tradition of her sitting on a pouffe while the rest of the family lounges on her comfy sofa. Pure joy. Dr Dunn has taken a deep dive into adult soft-play centres and whatever on earth new mums are banging that drum ON! We also ask the big questions, like: do YOU know what a doodlesack is? And in true Rein It In fashion, we go from silliness to serious as we talk about vaginismus — not remotely Christmassy, but important, and we point you to someone far more qualified than us, because we are absolutely not your medical team. We also cover Purdy & Figg, bloody influencers, and our Blasts from the Past. Spangles, anyone? It’s our final episode of 2025, so dig in, ears open, and get ready for a laugh or two… or three… or four.

Episode Fifty. Half a century of chat. Thank you for following, listening and sticking with us. Two years on, and we finally feel like we know what we are doing. Sort of. We dip into Celeb Jungle this week. Plenty of fun and giggles and, gibsville moments aside, it is actually quite warming. Nice people together. Something we all seem to need right now. We also ask the big life questions. Would you wear a tabard? And if not, what about Sketchers? Or tracky bottoms. Or the classic polo shirt. Fashion aspects Thom says NO to You will also discover something genuinely fascinating about Lemur monkeys. Dunn is convinced she might come back as one. They are only open to the public... at certain times of the year. If at all. We talk about the joy of a daily sentence and the comfort of podcasts that are relatable. You know. Like ours. We have a new segment called Blast from the Past, and we go full Cagney and Lacey. You will also find out what a parasocial relationship is. Plus, we dive into naff buys and the horror of walking through someone else’s cloud of bad breath. What more could you want? Jump in and get your ears ready. Our last episode of 2025 will be out on the eleventh of December.

The dog was a dick from the start. But we’ve realised, after listening to other people’s podcasts (even the famous ones), that everyone seems to have a dickhead dog barking at a leaf or two outside their window. Ours finally settles, Thom finally sits down, and Dunn can at last talk about failure; falling off the pre-diabetic wagon and wondering if blueberries and Greek yoghurt might taste better with a few Celebrations on top. It’s nearly Christmas after all. Thom’s not feeling festive, though. If only there were a Worzel Gummidge head she could swap to, the one that likes tinsel, bread sauce, and people. We also spiral into a very deep chat about potatoes (naturally), nearly launching a campaign for a potato board with melted cheese. Honestly, who doesn’t love potatoes? Good news from across the pond, the FDA has finally seen sense and ditched the outdated, fear-mongering black box warning from HRT leaflets. We also debate which one of us would be rocking in the corner and who’d be the stabby one without our HRT. Dunn tries to get Thom to work both sides of her brain at once, spoiler alert: it doesn’t go well. And if you’re wondering, no, a peri bottle isn’t a bottle of wine for women on their period (though it should be). Tune in for all the good stuff, the foisty stuff, and our favourite people to follow and watch this week.

We’re right in it this week, Episode 48! Nearly two years of recording our podcast… time really does fly when you’re laughing together! 👻 Halloween chat: Are you a blackout blinds and no sweets type, or do you welcome the little witches with open arms? (Costumes are compulsory if you want treats!) 👖 Then there’s the big question: Why do we all hide our pants at the doctor’s when we know we’ll be told to de-robe anyway? Thom thinks there should be a new form: “Are you arsed or not arsed about your modesty?” Tick one. 🧦 Are you a sock-on or sock-off person? Dunn finds it weird. Thom takes them to the bin if they have animated characters on them. (We’ll let you decide who’s ick here.) 🎃 Thom went to a pumpkin patch and howled, no, not wolf-like, at the people in inappropriate footwear. Because clearly, ruining your shoes in a muddy field is a small price to pay for looking good for your photos on socials! 🍜 Crotch pot? No, Thom hadn’t heard of it either… and yes, she got it very wrong at first. Dunn tells the story of this “great invention”, noodles may be involved. ❤️‍🔥 Dunn tells us that STDs are on the rise among women in their 50s — are we surprised? We discuss! 💃 And of course, we take a punt at who we think will replace Tess and Claudia on Strictly. 🤡 Mr Blobby divides the room, and Dunn swears the air smells like a primary school's “fart and crayons” was the quote. A new word and a few BMPs chucked in for good measure.  No, it's up to parents, too, to call! So come along for the ride — because the last segment of this week’s episode is truly hilarious. - How to declutter as suggested in House Beautiful  (We nearly died laughing… you’ve been warned!)

🔥 This week on “Rein It In” — we’re not holding back… To heat or not to heat, that’s the question. It’s mid-October, do you crank the thermostat or grab a big woolly and pretend you’re fine? 🎲 Games night chaos, Dunn’s family gets closer, Thom’s family gets… exposed. 🏫 Education in 2025 — why are some parts of the system still stuck in the dark ages? 💅 BMP returns (Big Moan Point, obviously): if your sales pitch involves “Inbox me, hun,” we’re probably moving on. 🎙️ What should you share, and definitely not share, on a podcast? Well, we are called “Rein It In” for a reason. 🚨 Dunn’s shocking story of a male doctor holding something he shouldn't be holding between 2 fingers, and that moment when awkward eye contact turns into “err, what now?” bus drivers, taxi drivers, security guards… we’ve all been there. No, we haven't stolen anything! ⚠️ Intolerance, mystery metal objects we can't remember the name of, MenoPoose, and a nod to the Riot Women you need to follow. Grab your brew — this episode’s a belter.

Ever wake up with a million tabs open in your brain and instantly want to pull the duvet back over your head? Yeah, same here. This episode dives into those weird morning thoughts and how life rarely goes to plan. Dunn is back with sharp insights and a wooden spoon: The questionable things some relatives do... Bizarre daily habits we all pretend are normal Why cannonballs should never appear where they don’t belong And: when is too embarrassing actually time for the doctor? We also ask: 🏠 Do your older parents still live by very traditional gender roles — and can they change in 2025? 🐶 What’s the best name for your pet: classic, modern, or human? (Just don’t yell “Waffle!” in the park...) 🇧🇷 A big thank you to our Brazilian listeners! Hopefully, we're either educating you or just deeply confusing you. Plus: 🔬 A nod to the Dunning-Kruger effect — still painfully relevant 25 years later 🍿 Why Dr. Evil might be more current than ever 👃 Belly buttons, wooden spoons & the odd power move with saggy elbows from Dunn 💇‍♀️ That awkward moment you wait way too long to sip your drink at the hairdressers 😳 Piercings in places that make you want to look away... fast 🛶 Little man in the boat rows fast & whether eating a Crunchie could give you wind 🪞Which mirror would you actually feel OK standing naked in front of? Expect a few laughs, some unexpected facts, and the usual round-up of our favourite TV & Instagram picks.

This week on Rein it in with Thom & Dunn: hair time vs “hot-desking at the salon,” spiral perms and whether lads should look good or embrace the fuzzy-mushroom era, Thom’s tour of “lady things” (mammogram, hysteroscopy… plus a polyp we’ve affectionately named Paula), and why Gen X might actually be nailing self-care more than our parents ever did. We also debate the great outdoors etiquette of the feral wee (aiming optional), the sudden rise of barrel jeans, and the only acceptable times to wear a dry robe. September’s wardrobe chaos gets a roasting (“pick a season, love”), Dunn brings fresh jokes and weird-but-true facts, there’s a tale of a rejected audition (she’s far too pro now), plus binge-worthy TV recs and Instagram follows that will make you laugh, feel good, and learn a thing or two. Light medical chat, heavy giggles. Rein it in? Absolutely not.

🎙️ New Episode Alert! This week, we’re chatting about all things kids, back to school, eye ops, random illnesses, and family dramas that nobody plans for. We dive into hormones (the gift that keeps on giving): brain fog, hair loss, but help with anxiety  🍂 Autumn is NEARLY here, and with it the eternal truth: we’ll never be “hot” again, so why bother with layers? Legwarmers and shellsuits had their moment, and we don't wish for them to return, like ever!  and how a knitted two-piece has now ruined the colour purple forever for Dunn. We’ve got TV talk, Insta shout-outs to some brilliant people, and a good moan that back in our day, Constance Carrol was as good as it got — no makeup tutorials, no fancy palettes. And if leggings and tabards become everyday fashion… well, send help. 👉 Tune in for laughs, a bit of nostalgia, and a whole lot of honesty, as always - open and discusting; we mean discussing  #PodcastLife #Relatable #HormonesAndHumour #BackToSchool

🎙️ This Week on the Podcast… 🍸 We kick things off with a gin & tonic (plus lemon, obviously) and a nod to Dunn turning 55 soon — so why not start the celebrations early with lunch? 📚 GCSEs get a grilling — we reckon education needs a shake-up to open more paths for the many, not just the few. 💭 Thom has only just discovered Simon Squibb and asks the big one: “What’s your dream?” Could you answer on the spot? 📝 Thom’s also got some fab new words — some brilliant, some completely off the wall. There’s talk of “any kind of rubbin’,” dodgy-sounding gifts, and an innocent story that somehow sounds anything but. 👣 Dunn reveals a bunion that looks hammered, fires quickfire questions at Thom, and then we spiral into the things menopause steals — like words right when you need them. 📺 We dive into what TV shows we’d do, rant about Zumba etiquette, reimagine Love Island, and share some great recommendations worth watching now. 🥔 Plus, a bizarre potato story (don’t ask), appointments and procedures that come with age, mammograms, old bottoms, and hospital mix-ups where what Thom thinks is happening… really isn’t. Lastly, what little things get on your tits 💡 And to top it off, some cracking suggestions for TV shows and Instagram accounts you need in your life.

🎙 New Episode Drop! We’re diving headfirst into the post-menopause pool this week, yep, the things that shouldn’t happen but often do (and what comes next). Dunn’s dishing out the details you probably need to know, while Thom is still deep in peri and mostly just furious with the world – especially this week’s ‘What a Dick’ nominees: the blokes slagging off women’s football. Same sport, different game, lads – and if you keep whinging, women will only get louder, bolder and even less ladylike. (Which, frankly, should’ve been left behind in 1973 along with your opinions.) 👩‍💻 We talk about jobs we absolutely couldn’t do (public-facing ones, we're looking at Thom), and what happens when a woman named Jackie creates a community Facebook group and suddenly becomes a local dictator - admin role  Thom overthinks gone off chicken in the fridge - thinking at 3am is not good, and never act on it! 💩 There’s also a poo story. It involves being caught short, covering your shame with leaves, and a Zumba class that no priest should ever listen to! Do you remember the Flumps! 🩺 Thom shares a painfully relatable tale of dragging your parents to a hundred appointments. 👀 And Dunn might have a talking V'JJ! 👂 Ears open, eyes wide – we're on YouTube now so you can watch the chaos unfold too. 

Dunn goes in all Spanish-sounding!  Do we don't we talk about bum holes anymore - give us some feedback [email protected] - give us something else to talk about. The first time you have sex, and how it's not all that! And do our children no more now because it's spoken about more openly Do you doom scroll through rubbish, and wonder why we're doing it, and what we did do with the time before?  Thom is not good at being bored!   Triaphallia  - what do you think it is, and find out how they found this, as he didn't know!  What a waste of a life not knowing  There's more to fart walking than you can just do with your calves - listen in to find out  What we have been watching and what you watch can actually help you as you age. And the Podcast barker decides to let his presence be known, quietly! AI and why it can be very cool - hear why and how rude and how Biscuit boy has ideas of his own! We're here for your ears - take a step in - we're not afraid to talk about any subject because we're Generation X and it's quite powerful!

🎉 EPISODE 40 – We've Made It (Somehow!) 🎉 Wow. 40 episodes! Go us—cranking out unplanned words, thoughts, and tangents straight to your ears. Sure, we’ve got the usual: 🎯 WIDL (Words I Do/Don’t Like) 🏆 D*ck of the Week 😂 Jokes & Stories 🩺 Dr. Dunn’s Medical Facts …BUT do we know what each other’s written down before we hit record? Absolutely not. It’s chaos—but the fun kind. Think 12-year-old boy humour, but with slightly more life experience. 🎨 Purple? Really not Dunn’s colour… who knew? 💨 Remember Impulse? Where does that nostalgic scent take you? 🍑 Also, apparently bum hole readings are a thing now. Palm readings are so 2020. Yes, we went there. ⚽️ We also chat Women’s Football, as the Euros kick off—Group D is looking tasty: France, The Netherlands… and WALES! Come on! 🚗 Oh, and parents who park like plonkers near schools? You’re this week’s ‘What a D**k’ 🎯 So… 👂 Are your ears ready for fun, a bit of understanding, and 100% relatable content? 🎧 Dive in. Laugh hard. Maybe learn something. Maybe not.

🎙️ We're Back – And We’ve Got a Lot to Say! This week, we’re back in full swing and catching up on all the things—including: 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Relatable parenting moments (turns out we weren’t exactly angels ourselves...) one of us! 🚗 Dick of the Week makes a dramatic return, and Thom is not amused. Let’s just say: if you’re 'cutting' across lanes on the motorway for TikTok, we’re sending the speeding ticket vibes your way. 💃 Zumba chats and misheard conversations—the kind where you walk in at the worst possible moment. 🛖 “Hutments.” Is it a word? It is now. And thanks to AI. We've coined a few more, too—contextual genius, accidental chaos. 👔 Father’s Day or Faffer's Day? We’re talking unnecessary gift pressure, consumerism overload, and whether HRT is clearing our commercialised fog. (One child nailed it, though—credit where it’s due.) 🎧 Download us for your holiday —we want to come with you! Are your ears ready? #ReinItInPodcast #ThomAndDunn #DickOfTheWeek #MenopausalMayhem #ParentingFails #ZumbaZone #FatherFigureFaff #HolidayPackingPlaylist #BritishPodcast

Bloody hell, it's early for a Sunday morning, but we're here recording for your ears, and in this episode, we definitely open the floor on things that we do to ourselves - from ponytails in areas you shouldn't need to shave, to why we do it? - Dr Dunn researches European holidays - the best bits and what can annoy you. Like germ spreaders But we do go to a serious side about the Banned Bingo words in the US Administration Some great words we haven't heard for some time and the importancy of adding ourselves to the family list with emergency tweezers Things to watch, our recommendations, and our insights             

Saga Holidays, Cold Pools & Fart Scapegoats Hold onto your knickers, folks—Dunn’s back from Greece, where she fully embraced her role as the youngest in a Saga-on-Tour retirement takeover. Imagine being on a holiday where nobody gives a flying flip about social norms but refuses to enter a swimming pool because it’s “a bit nippy.” Not our Dunn though—Mum Dunn launched 'DOVE" herself in like an Olympian, even though her back gives her a little jip every 20 yards! We also unpack the last couple of weeks of British brilliance—where mild sunshine turns people feral and the sound of a bloody tin on a Bamboo (don’t ask, just listen) can trigger a full-on existential crisis. Oh, and did you know there’s an actual career in being a fart scapegoat? Many years ago in Chinese history,  people paid someone to blame for their digestive disasters! Plus, we dish out our latest Insta people to follow, binge-worthy TV picks, and what’s coming soon that’s worth cancelling your social life for—looking at you, nudge... Dunn?  🔥 BONUS: We’ve got another ridiculous photo shoot lined up on June 6th, because frankly, the world needs more photos of us looking confused but fabulous. Follow us on Instagram @rein_it_in_with_thom_and_dunn for the behind-the-scenes chaos straight from Shag Manor. 📲 Listen now on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you waste your valuable time pretending to be productive.

🎙️ New Episode Alert – Life Got in the Way (But we're here a day later than normal!) We’re late because, well, life. You know the drill. But we’re here, we’ve hit record, and you’re in for a belter of an episode. In this one, Dunn makes Thom gip with a story involving a care home (brace yourself), we discover some cracking new slang words – we’re talking multi-cyllabled and multi-laughs. Plus, Dr. Dunn delivers a mind-blowing medical fact: apparently, the egg chooses the sperm – not the other way around. Sorry lads, women really do rule the world from day dot. 👑 There’s also a lunging mishap, a debate over the fear of the weird-but-normal, and enough ick, sick and “what the hell is that?” to make you feel seen. Alright Golam, listen in ! Next up: Episodes 37 and 38 are going international 🌍 – you don’t want to miss that!

This week, we're back in the thick of it with Dunn’s Joke—armed with "research," some questionable "fact findings," and her feramones fighting for oxygen. Meanwhile, Vic’s mum is in a full-blown panic that she’ll be outed as a lesbian… simply for sharing a bed with her own daughter on holiday. Honestly! We dive into the UK’s outdated housing schemes and that magical 55+ starting age. Excuse us—we’ve only just figured out TikTok, not ready for sheltered living and bingo just yet! Elsewhere in the episode: 👜 The quick thinking safety of a bag for life 🐝 An uninvited bee the size of a Yorkshire Terrier 🛫 BBLs, airplane seats, and how a big arse shouldnt be a desire- according to Thom 💃 Zumba may never recover from Dunn’s loud question 🚽 Thom’s worried about making a noise downstairs (and no, not metaphorically) It’s all minge photography, relatable chaos, and women’s stuff... the kind that should come with a health warning. Happy listening, ya legends. The Real Episode 35 🎧

🎙️ Episode 34 (Yes… 34, not 35 — Thom jumped the gun!) We're a week ahead of ourselves — blame Thom — but we’re back, chewing the fat (maybe our own), wondering when exactly we should start taking the weight gain seriously. 🍫 Some of us are all about fruity... the other is still spoon-deep in a tub of Nutella and full of regret. This week, we’ve got some genuinely helpful tips on HRT, Perimenopause, Menopause, and symptoms no one warned you about — because you deserve to know. Plus, we share some brilliant TV recommendations, a rant about online trolls (Ann Robinson isn't available to post your angry letter, sorry), and some unexpected chat about succulent things, bras, and a startled neighbour with his dropped tools. Yep, it’s that kind of episode. Tune in. Laugh out loud. Learn a bit. And maybe hide the Nutella... Anyone got any gubbins?

Episode 33 - take II What a week it’s been — and what we achieve as women? Honestly, if we printed it all out and handed it to our families, they’d finally understand. (Spoiler: Yes, we still made it to Zumba. Even with a kidney stone. Hardcore.) We chat: 💥 Hospital visits 🎪 Why some scans may require circus performers 👩‍👧 Mothering Day with a twist (and a bit of history, served with wine) we'd prefer an activity shooting laser guns 🚽 Too much loo roll = an unexpected guest comes into the house and Shag Manor 🧠 And what really happens if you let your intrusive thoughts win — hello silence… and a church? Also featuring a surprise Yorkshire teenager who thinks he's funnier than us. (He’s not. But we let him dream.) We're a day late, but worth the wait — pop us in your ears and enjoy the madness 💬

This week, we dive into absolute chaos and hilarity, covering everything from dreaming vs. actual sleep to Dunn's unexplained choking fits (on god knows what) 🤦‍♀️. 🔹 Slang words decoded – What on earth do Cheeks and Bluetoothing mean?! 🔹 Knobhead of the Week – Featuring Widl & BMP… and yep, Thom is on one this week! 🔹 Steaming your Vagina – Dr. Dunn (or shall we say, Gwenth) tells us all about the latest LA trend that claims to leave your uterus squeaky clean and leave you full of extra energy! Will 2026's popular baby name be… GeVyna?! 🤣 🔹 Vaping & RSI – Forget lung issues, could vaping also be a risk for Repetitive Strain Injury?! 🔹 Fart Therapy?! – Apparently, sniffing your own gas has health benefits… who knew? 🔹 Post-Menopausal & Proud – Dunn got the official verdict from a lovely Scottish doctor—and Thom is extremely jealous she has some years yet 🔹 Thom's Dream – She just wants her own house, no mental load, and for someone else to decide what's for tea for once! 🍽️ 🔹 Throwback to German Report Cards – What teachers could get away with writing back in the day, and why some kids should never attempt an oral exam in a language they clearly don’t speak! And so much more fun in your ears! 🎧🤣 📢 Listen now

The weeks are flying by—so much so that Dunn completely forgot today was recording day!

We’ve decided it's time to refresh some outdated poolside lingo—because Heavy Petting feels ancient, and while Canoodling is charming, we think we can do better.
