    The Dance Mum's Lament

    Life is absolutely LIFE-ING and, frankly, we'd like to speak to management. With showtime looming, we're operating somewhere between "is it too much?" and "we've got this." Meanwhile, Isla's latest school assignment has Revz asking why the cost-of-living crisis hasn't made its way into primary school homework, and Gem's accidentally entered the elite, bedazzled fever dream that is the solo dance competition world. Fake lashes, fake tan, too many rhinestones and an unsettling feeling. Let's unpack. #Notspon: R: Fresh Off The Boat on Disney+ G: The Odyssey at Imax - Send This Episode To Your Friends: I Need A New Podcast (Spotify) I Need A New Podcast (Apple) Check out our Amazon Storefront (including our Harris Farm favs) Know Thyself 2026 LIVE SHOW TICKETS and MERCH Subscribe to MORE TIME For This: Subscribe on Apple Subscribe on Spotify Submit your OTDL Submit your Bestie Hotline Sign Up To Bestie Bulletin Join our Facebook Group Listen to our cool little sister podcast: The Fifth Trimester on Spotify The Fifth Trimester on Apple See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    I'm Yucking Your Yum

    Holiday debriefs are in and let's just say our top travel tips are probably not the ones you'll find on Instagram. We chat live show prep, why Revz is suddenly feeling very nervous, and settle the age old debate of folding versus hanging because apparently this is what adulthood has come to. Then Gem reveals the one thing guaranteed to send her into a full body spiral, feet. Too many feet. Far too much foot chat. #Notspon: R: Go-To Pimple Patches G: Butter chicken pies Harris Farm (Aff link) - Send This Episode To Your Friends: I Need A New Podcast (Spotify) I Need A New Podcast (Apple) Check out our Amazon Storefront (including our Harris Farm favs) Know Thyself 2026 LIVE SHOW TICKETS and MERCH Subscribe to MORE TIME For This: Subscribe on Apple Subscribe on Spotify Submit your OTDL Submit your Bestie Hotline Sign Up To Bestie Bulletin Join our Facebook Group Listen to our cool little sister podcast: The Fifth Trimester on Spotify The Fifth Trimester on Apple See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Fleeced At The Canteen

    Kicking off today's ep with a little PSA... your kids are listening. And according to science, they believe everything they overhear, so make it count. Quick quezzie, does your family have a theme? Cos we get into sibling names and the bizarre decision to name multiple children as though they are a matching set. Revz has a bone to pick with the school canteen and how good was the hot cheese roll? Speaking of heaven, Gem went on a sensory adventure to the Epicurean buffet, before falling headfirst into her personal hell; life admin.

    Since When Are We In Charge?

    How do you measure distance in your head? Blue whales? Swimming pools? Or are you like Gem who can somehow just feel a kilometre? We check in on Revz's new love and whether Gem's finally caught up. Then, Gem has a bone to pick with Gen Z because the vibes are off and the forward energy seems to be MIA. Plus, why does theatre feel like it's on life support? Can we blame cozzie livs for absolutely everything, and, as always, this episode ends up nowhere near where we started. #Notspon: R: Scarlet rechargeable heat pack G: Zone your car speakers. - Check out our Amazon Storefront Know Thyself 2026 LIVE SHOW TICKETS and MERCH Subscribe to MORE TIME For This: Subscribe on Apple Subscribe on Spotify Submit your OTDL Submit your Bestie Hotline Sign Up To Bestie Bulletin Join our Facebook Group Listen to our cool little sister podcast: The Fifth Trimester on Spotify The Fifth Trimester on Apple See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Long Distance Relationship Game

    Quick reminder to check your bosoms because we're nothing if not committed to your wellbeing. Then it's onto the great moustache debate because Revz has developed a concerning appreciation for the humble soup strainer. Gem dishes out some tough love after an Iggy, World Cup and pocket money situation that has the group chat divided. Plus, a trip down memory lane to New York and the early days of Gem and Hubs. Gem dishes out all her long distance relationship tips, now that Revz is dealing with different time zones. Gem drops another health update and let's just say someone's crystals are copping the blame. Happy Tuesday DLs.

    Are you sitting down DLs?

    First up, some glamorous life admin because it's time to worm your kids. Tick that shit off and move on with your day. Then Revz is on a fake tan journey and we'll check back in a few weeks to see how that's... developing. But that's not even the headline. DLs, we need you seated for this one because a bomb has dropped in Revz's life and honestly, we're still processing. Bestie is activated, feelings are high, and as always, chaos has entered the chat.

    The DM That Wasn’t Meant For Us

    What's everyone doing with their freezer because Revz has a theory and frankly, none of us are coming out of this looking good. Meanwhile Gem is deep in nit hell and Revz is armed with enough experience, wisdom and unsolicited advice to start a support group. Then we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of 90s kids movies, except Gem's children have started asking questions that absolutely ruin the magic and she does not have time for it. Plus, Revz accidentally receives a DM that was very much not intended for her and what follows is equal parts high school bullshit, overthinking and group therapy.

    I Get Knocked Down...

    Gem’s got the holy grail of hacks (no exaggeration) to help with kid’s resilience. Naturally, this leads us down a completely necessary detour into inspirational song recommendations because apparently we're all one power ballad away from personal growth. Then we tackle a parenting controversy that's been dividing households for generations: bribery. Are rewards ruining our children, or are they the only reason anyone under ten is wearing shoes? No seriously, if we don’t have bribes and rewards, how else do we get shit done?

Then Iggy’s got a passion and Gem’s trying to be supportive but has not got a f*cking clue. Revz has got questionable advice and tips for the best way to perform sport ball.

    Gem’s Blood Test Got Her Sweating

    Can we pull the brakes on the Year of the Horse cos it's June and we need a nap. Seriously. Gem’s living her best life back in dance classes but then gets some surprising results from a recent blood test. Then, do we actually have to be good at our hobbies to enjoy them? Because Gem’s not happy about being the worst in her class and has developed a rebellious streak to balance out her tennis talents.... or lack thereof. Happy Tuesday, DLs!
