What’s with the Parents On the Sidelines?

Canberra, here we come! We are mere DAYS away from hitting the stage with our Know Thyself show, and our excitement levels have officially reached pants-wetting territory. Meanwhile, Revz may or may not have almost burnt down her house… again.

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.

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.
