The Woo Woo Backflip No One Saw Coming

<p>Well, we have the ghost update nobody wants about Revzy’s haunted home just to start the day off right. Then Gem’s perturbed at her daughter’s changing accent but what’s really grinding her gears is Revz…having a favourite..stay with us…colour? This is a weird place DLs, but stay with us as we get into “Purple Ladies”. Then Revz doesn’t have time for rogue cycles and is dreaming of taking it all into her own very capable, very feminist, wildly unnecessary hands. Then Gem does a philosophical backflip for aesthetic reasons and Revz simply cannot with this and if you’re still here, happy Tuesday DLs, hope you enjoy the looney bin.</p><p><br></p><p>#Notspons:</p><p>Gem: Spell Stargazer Zodiac Ring https://aus.spell.co/</p><p>Revz: Brillo Beauty The Balm https://brillobeauty.com/products/the-balm-25g</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Tell Me That's Not A Ghost

<p>Well, well, well, look who’s an absolute croc of sh*t.. looking at you Gemma (and your kids footwear). Gem is still battling a lurgy but she’s trying to dress like she’s fighting fit, which leads us to the old cost-per-wear argument aka Girl Math. And Revz has a fashion hack that she thinks is legit but Gem thinks is questionable. We have a Raffa ear piercing update with a side of Lindsay Lohan and Gem asks Revz some curly(ish) questions. Then Revz doesn’t have time for an uninvited guest in her home (prepare the sage) and we have video evidence to really make your Tuesday. Thanks for being here legends, your besties, Gem &amp; Revz.</p><p><br></p><p>#Notspon:</p><p>Gem: Oh Flossy Kids Natural Make Up https://ohflossy.com/</p><p>Revz: @formallyeverafter</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

We Are Ick-Tok

<p>**A note before we begin that this episode was recorded over a week ago before events in the Middle East and the Australian Referendum. We want to acknowledge the darkness in the world and our communities right now, and that this episode does not deal with that context.**</p><p><br></p><p>First up Gem has experienced the hack of all hacks when it comes to kids birthday party presents and we all need to get on this. Gem doesn’t have time for Raffa wanting her get her ears “adorned with jewels” (ok, nerd) and we have interesting thoughts about our thoughts on this one. Revz doesn’t have time for her late night owl behaviour, and having to make her partner put her to bed which leads to weird discoveries about “Daddy” and “Mummy” which very quickly descends into a huge unearthing of our Icks. And it’s a loose lolacoaster from then on DLs, please buckle up and share your own icks in the Facebook group. </p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p>Today is the last chance to vote for us for the Australian Podcast Awards : </p><p>https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p><br></p><p>#NotSpon</p><p>Gem: @luv_lou sunglasses case </p><p>Revz: oat milk?

Are Soulmates Real, Though?

<p>Revz has officially been a parent for 9 years today. Woah. That’s a while to still not be an expert. Gem is on holiday, it’s fine, we’re not that jealous, but we weren’t going to leave you hanging without us DLs, so we’re here. But, strap yourselves in, Gem needs to talk about an album. So make a cup of tea. And this leads to Gem’s unearthing of some feelings over text messages. Gem doesn’t have time for being a sweaty Betty but trying to move to a natural deodorant. So then we pick up a convo we’ve been having for a while; are soulmates real? Like are they? And if they are, are you actually with your soulmate, or was the timing of life wrong? And if you’re not, does that mean you’re not in “real” love? Obviously we don’t know. But this is a heated topic and we get deep into our opinions in and around this one, topics include; hitting rock bottom, unrequited love, writing a dream partner list and settling cos you want kids. So you know, chill. </p><p>—</p><p>Last chance to Vote for us …</p><p>https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p>#notspon</p><p>Gem: Hubert Bottom from Fella Swimwear https://www.fellaswim.com/</p><p>Revz: https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/idina-menzel</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Go Away With Your Perfect Parenting

<p>Do you call your friends first thing on their birthday or do you (cough, Gem) call them on their birthday not knowing it’s their birthday and talking about some other sh*t? And how special are birthdays after the age of 21 anyway? Then, Gem’s kids FaceTimed her Dad with a surprise effect and it makes us wonder just how “bubbly” Australia is? And speaking of, Gem had an interaction that made her question same sex v co-ed schools, but Revz has questions. And then Revz doesn’t have time for a very specific, hyper “positive” instagram account that’s making her a bit (disproportionately?) ragey. Gem hard disagrees. Just another relatively unhinged Tuesday, besties.

Smug UnMarried Bullsh*t

<p>So Revz did a staycay at a fancy hotel and met a Japanese toilet…hilarity ensues! Gem is hooked on one helluva drug called Parent Pride TM and she wants to talk about it (once Raffa is done saving the planet - thank you daycare). But really what kicks off today’s meandering deep and meaningful, is Revz’s regret over a smug comment she made to the pod team in the car. She’s wondering if it was a dickhead thing to say, but also, it sparks some really twisty, curly questions about marriage, relationships, cohabitating, combining finances, all the juicy sh*t! And we have some serious questions for you DLs, including but not limited to, what level of purchase do you have to “check” with your partner about..and other dilemmas. Happy Tuesday Queens, keep it rolling in the Facebook group! </p><p>—</p><p>Vote for us in the Australian Podcast awards! 🏆 https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p>#Notspon:</p><p>Gem: Kmart Disco Light</p><p>Revz: Cotton On Swimwear</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Is It Rude To Not RSVP? (Spoiler, Yes)

<p>We’re so in sync now it’s like we’re N’sync; thanks to the tour the sharks are circling. We have a whole lotta new DLs, so we asked you how to explain this show to newbies and you had some great answers (cos of course you did). We had a fun run in with a DL in Brisbane who had an interesting way of “trying to like” her husband which we get into. And then Gem doesn’t have time for being a sh*t mate when it comes to an RSVP and it gets us thinking about attachment theory (cos of course it does). Then Revz doesn’t have time for squirrelling on her sister but has a curly explanation that gem doesn’t buy. </p><p><br></p><p>Not spon: </p><p>Kate- We the Wild Plant Care: https://wethewild.co/</p><p>Gem- Plz vote for us for Australian podcast awards: https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p><br></p><p>DL's favourite episodes:</p><ul> <li>That's An Expensive Full Moon (w/ Crazy Lisa)</li> <li>D&amp;M: The Au Pair </li> <li>Sex in the Car Park, Not A Vibe</li> <li>Tallking Shit, Like Literally</li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

My Biggest Fears Are Not Your Marketing Tools

<p>Back to regular programming and ya girls are sitting down for a good old fashion chat about life again. Things got shaken up in Gem household while she was on the road and she doesn’t have time for how little respect her kids have for…well… her. At least some sleep is being had but at what (emotional) cost? Then Revz is quite furious this week and she is not messing around calling it out. Strap yourselves in cos there’s a situation that went down while we were away that was not at all ok; and while the ending is a relief the process was pretty unforgivable. Big love DLs, we’re so grateful to be here this week and every week. </p><p><br></p><p>#Not spon:</p><p>Gem: Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm</p><p>Revz: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</p><p><br></p><p>Vote for us as LISTENERS CHOICE at the Aus Podcast Awards: </p><p>https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

What Goes On Tour....

<p>We’re coming down pretty hard after the official BEST month in the podcast’s ( /our) life, Tour Month. We just can’t quite get over it and so we’re deep diving today; sharing with you what went wrong, what went right, the highs, the lows, the cheeseburgers, the murder motels, our best mate Guy Sebastian and the absolute best thing about the lot of it… the DLs!

Helicopters and Tigers and Lawnmowers, Oh My!

<p>DLs we&rsquo;re in Brisbane! And happy about it after a raucous and magical first show in Melbourne! And there are two types of people (well, two types of &ldquo;show nails&rdquo;) and we rep both. But Revz has made life very hard for herself, indeed. Iggy has climbed atop Consumerism Mountain, taking the title of King Stuff from Teddy. And so that means Gem just like, can&rsquo;t take him to the shops? Gem does have time for her &ldquo;odd one out&rdquo; and Revz doesn&rsquo;t have time for working out her parenting style from an ever growing list of dolphins and lighthouses and tigers, oh my. But we&rsquo;re jazzed to be performing for our Queenslander DLs tonight so nothing can bring us down today! On stage or in your ears we&rsquo;re so happy to be with you this Tuesday.</p> <p>Not spons:</p> <p>Revz: Clothing Clean Up</p> <p>Gem: Tina Heel from Sheike</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

That's Showbiz!

<p>Morning legends! While we casually jet to Melbourne to see our Victorian DLs, we have a fresh ep for you! But first, Raffa has taken on a task that&rsquo;s lightened Gem&rsquo;s mental load and Teddy is loving a luscious rats tail. Then we show you a bit of how the sausage gets made to tell you Gem has forgotten how to be an actor, lol. But kinda not lol, cos it&rsquo;s showtime. Revz is highly emotional about leaving the babies which is off brand and a massive surprise tbh. Gem is stoked to start sleeping through the night. Some fun not spons and then we don&rsquo;t have time for this guys, we have a SHOW to do!!</p> <p>Not spons</p> <p>Revz: The Bear on Disney+</p> <p>Gem: Garlic Prawns on pizza</p> <p>Honourable Mentions:</p> <p>Cheeky Quokka Co travel packing cubes: https://www.cheekyquokkaco.com.au/</p> <p>Kmart shapewear</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

A Cumming of Age Story

<p>So, Teddy has discovered Gwen Stefani and that sh*t is bananas. Gem had a quote / meme / reel fall in her lap and it’s now her entire parenting philosophy. Revz loves it and is reminded of the time she negotiated her way out of maths for keeps. Cool story. Then Revz does not have time for a massive loss of innocence in the canteen line and Gem doesn’t have time for using up all her grandparent credit when she’s maxed out on childcare. TBH between the podcast and the live show, we’re both well and truly in the red. But onwards we march for another Tuesday with our besties. </p><p><br></p><p>#NotSpon:</p><p>Gem: The Deepest Breath documentary on Netflix </p><p>Kate: Gro-To Sud Bud and Skin Wizard</p><p><a href="https://gotoskincare.com/pages/gro-to">https://gotoskincare.com/pages/gro-to</a></p><p><br></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Don’t Ask Me If Your Marriage is Dead

<p>First up, Raffa has changed her tune on something and Gem is pretty devo about it. Then we wanna know how often people are washing their towels. Like, honestly, how often. Cos we feel very different about it but we do love that hotel life. Then Revz doesn’t have time for people asking for a relationship diagnosis like she’s an expert (spoiler, she’s not) but we also kinda get it. And then Gem has a really big one today and it’s weighing heavily on her heart. We wade through together and unpick the many layered reality of the idea of a particular beauty truth.

It's Just A Phase

<p>Gooood Morning DLs! Its Tuesday morning and we are starting out with a BIG announcement today, so buckle up! We have been busy, busy bees getting ready for the Tour (TM) but first we have an update on last week, a near car accident (!) and some serious hair cut chat. Yep, thats right, Gem bit the bullet and cut her kids kidnap hair and she had a weird, unpredictable reaction. Then Revz has the mirror firmly up in the form of her son’s “phases” which we argue over the real definition of and we have some bougie and TV watching #notspons to bring it all home.</p><p><br></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
