Why Does High School Still Haunt Us?
First up, important question: what is the world’s favourite song? Naturally, we spiral into our own top songs and movies—play along, DLs. Then Revz drags us through a recurring dream she’s had for years, is it therapy or torture? From there, it’s a full-on nostalgia trip through high school: who we were, who we thought we’d be, and how spectacularly unprepared we were for life. Sprinkle in some chats about school, success, and failing the system, and voilà—a regular Tuesday with your besties x Notspons: Revz: 60 Pack Dual Tip Acrylic Paint Markers - Kmart Gem: Doctor Eckstein Azulen paste - Amazon (aff link) - Subscriber Golden Ticket Lunch- BOOST your entry here Check out our Amazon Storefront Submit your OTDL Submit your Bestie Hotline Subscribe to MORE TIME For This: Subscribe on Apple Subscribe on Spotify Listen to our cool little sister podcast: The Fifth Trimester on Spotify The Fifth Trimester on Apple Sign Up To Bestie Bulletin Join our Facebook Group Watch Us On Youtube See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia’s royal wedding, JLo and Ben are trolling us and Lu’s new dating rules
We’re back for episode two and the sched is more lit than the dance floor at Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis’ wedding. We unpack the soccer golden couple’s stunning Perth nuptials, plus why we’re convinced JLo and Ben Affleck might be (probably, maybe) trolling us all. We also serve up our pop culture predictions for the year ahead - from a bombshell royal tell-all to an Abbie Chatfield and Keli Holiday relationship milestone. Meanwhile, Lu is laying down some very firm rules for her dating life in 2026, while Bella is campaigning for the return of… **checks notes**… ankle socks?!

Are We Too Old To Gutter Goblin?
Today we’re asking the hard questions, like, whether the gutter goblin dress code has an expiration date, and why simply wearing makeup now earns us unsolicited compliments like we’ve done community service. We tap back into Slim Aarons energy (bring it back, immediately): glamorous, detached, and lightly judging from poolside. We reflect on Gem’s 40th birthday party, which casually included a surprise vow renewal, because of course it did. The perfect way to close out 2025.

Five Years of WDHTFT
Five years ago we bought a mic and absolutely did not have time for this. And yet… here we are. What started as a half-baked idea has somehow turned into the most unhinged, hilarious, supportive little corner of the internet full of like-minded DLs we could never have imagined. You’ve shown up, tuned in, slid into the DMs and made this whole thing what it is. We are endlessly grateful for every listen, every message, every inside joke, and for letting us be exactly who we are, mic on and all. We love you so much. It’s time to celebrate 5 years the only way we know how: AMA time. - Check out our Amazon Storefront Submit your OTDL Submit your Bestie Hotline Subscribe to MORE TIME on Apple Subscribe to MORE TIME on Spotify Subscriber Golden Ticket Lunch- BOOST your entry here Sign Up To Bestie Bulletin Join our Facebook Group Watch Us On Youtube See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
