We Don't Have Time For This

What Are Other People Doing With Their Money?

<p>First up, Revzy is blushing, what’s that all about? And then, quick update on the #candlebaby clan, we have some new additions to the family and we’re feeling very special about it. Then sorry for the FOMO but the (annual?) Bestie Brunch has been upgraded to bottomless, we cannot wait to meet you all. Now, unpopular opinion, we aren’t into a certain album that everyone is trying really hard to love and does that make us old? Or out of the loop? **cue manic singing** Then Gem brings yet another trend to the table for Revz to slam. Gem doesn’t have time for the avalanche of allergies and ailments that have come her way, on top of the insane winter time illnesses. And Revzy doesn’t have time for not knowing what everyone else is doing in their lives, specifically with their sex-lives and finances. Can we all hold hands and share a little more? Or is it too awkward to open the combo. Happy Tuesday legends, we’re so happy you’re here with us.</p><p><br></p><p>Not spons:</p><p>Gem @beau.hunting</p><p>Revz Becky Straight Jean from @decjuba</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Day In The Life of a F*cked Off Mum

<p>Ok so, there&rsquo;s a new mani-style in town that Gem is all about, Revz is as suss as she is on skinny jeans and balayage but she&rsquo;s open, SHE&rsquo;S OPEN (she&rsquo;s not open). Speaking of open, how do we feel about &ldquo;vabbing&rdquo;? (hint; it involves your vag and your &lsquo;note points&rsquo;). Then Gem is trying so hard to stay positive about this new rhythm in her family life but she&rsquo;s at a limit and someone pass the coconut water. Then, you asked us for a day in the life and so we break it down, the whats the where&rsquo;s the why-the-fucks and the who&rsquo;s. Then in more episodes of Cos-You-Asked, Revz has all the intel on kids sharing a bedroom for you and GOD WE&rsquo;RE HELPFUL!</p> <p>Not Sponsored :&nbsp;</p> <p>Gem - Play and Code app</p> <p>Revz - We Are Feel Good Inc Coconut Sunscreen</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Excuse Me? Is Everyone Squirting?

<p>OK besties, get ready because this weeks ep is loose! First up, to kick us off Gem needs more information on how to use body oil, but spoiler alert!... she’s a fan. Then we break down the top 6 sex positions as named by @triplejthehookup and we have a lot of opinions. Side bar... how come Gem knows so much about this stuff when she is a self proclaimed prude? Then, is everyone squirting? Or is there something wrong with us!? Then we take a long leisurely stroll down Ramsay Street, aka memory lane. And Gem retails us with stories of her days on Australia’s most loved soap. Then Revz doesn’t have time for the boring unending, relentless, train of sickness plaguing…. EVERYONE. Where is the line between 100% healthy and staying home from school and is it ever ok to send your kid off with a sniffle. From snot to doggie style it's a regular Tuesday in our house!</p><p><br></p><p>Not sponsored:</p><p>@lucymneville</p><p>@thebuild.com.au</p><p><br></p><p>Also mentioned:</p><p><a href="https://yusei.com.au/collections/skin/products/dew-body-oil-100ml">https://yusei.com.au/collections/skin/products/dew-body-oil-100ml</a></p><p>Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Body Oil</p><p>@triplejthehookup Most popular sex positions</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Nothing Prepares You For Marriage Post-Children

<p>**Ok - something weird happens with the sound at the 29 minute mark** WE&rsquo;RE SORRY - we have tried to fix it.</p> <p>Now, first up, Boomers and technology - its not only a constant ball-ache being on the blower for tech support but also HOW do they make the tech mistakes they make? Enter Revz&rsquo; Mum with a real corker of an instagram mistake. Then.. OK INFLATION WTF. We try to come up with some genuine ways to make a bit of side cash so we can still do coffees and pilates. We say &ldquo;get f*cked&rdquo; many times. Then Revz doesn&rsquo;t have time for her teenage baby boy. Everyday is an emotional roulette and she has no idea how to parent a boy like this. And Gem is struggling with her son actually (finally) growing up too. And then Gem wants to read a tear-jerker of a poem, doing the rounds on social media at the moment that really tugged at her marital heart-strings.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not Spon:</p> <p>Gem : Franks Hot Sauce</p> <p>Revz : Naked Sundays body makeup</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

I Can’t Be Everything to Everyone

<p>This week Gem’s technology has turned on her, but it’s ok because she’s now a teenager #worthit. Then ear candles have the internet divided, but where Gem stands is clear as crystal. Then we’re back here again; Gem cannot deal with her parents shade on her son’s hair. But Revz reckons it might be pushing a deeper button- but clutch-my-pearls! It might actually be time to think about Iggy having a haircut and OMG no one can deal with it. Then we have a straight out fight about astrology… and are we actually arguing the same point? You decide. Then Revz doesn’t have time for the constant tension in every area of her life and it makes us think- is the real work we have to do getting good with our own choices or is society just a bunch of c*nts? A long and deep one this Tuesday DL’s, please let us know what you think of all of our ramblings in the Facebook group.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

When You Realise Your Kid Is Lost

<p>First up, Revz is musing on a weird thing all our Mums did that she’s glad we don’t really do anymore. Then Gem is still recovering from the time she lost Raffa in Bali and we really don't have time for these moments, as Revz knows from losing teddy in Edinburgh for 45 minutes, it’s not something you quickly recover from. But Gem has lessons, LESSONS, because what else can you fucking do? Then Revz’ girl has such Main Character Energy, but it’s causing her problems in the school yard and we don’t have time for that.

I Miss Missing My Husband

<p>Gem is looking snatched, like it looks like she’s actually slept and we all know she hasn’t. And she’s off on holidays, and has a lot of feels about it, including a mental reframe on her new parenting responsibilities. Then we get into the importance of missing your partner and how we’ve missed missing our most important people, thanks to COVID and lockdowns. Gem doesn’t have time for the shame around the Coles sex toys and it’s got us wondering if there is really still shame around self-pleasure? And if we ourselves are really the shame-free, sex-positive girls we want to be. Revz is hot under the collar about the mysogeny around this topic and the thought experiments are flying. Then, it’s Revz’ birthday this week and for once she’s taking charge of it. It’s scheduled within an inch of its life for HIGH VIBES in order to avoid any birthday blues. So why do we always shelve ourselves when we spend so much energy celebrating everyone else in our lives. Surely we’re worth the effort we put into, say, our Mother-in-laws? </p><p><br></p><p>Not sponsored: </p><p>Revz : Bec + Bridge </p><p>Gem : Ink Spiller Home </p><p><br></p><p>Show notes : </p><p>LBDO Lube : <a href="https://www.lbdo.com/collections/the-essensuals/products/essensual-vibe?param1=googleads&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw8amWBhCYARIsADqZJoWhZHPw2Rq91xdHASfzmRDzeN9PN8YAjaAfQOvqAGT_ZmmUVjriBQgaAh9nEALw_wcB">https://www.lbdo.com/collections/the-essensuals/products/essensual-vibe?param1=googleads&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw8amWBhCYARIsADqZJoWhZHPw2Rq91xdHASfzmRDzeN9PN8YAjaAfQOvqAGT_ZmmUVjriBQgaAh9nEALw_wcB</a></p><p><br></p><p>Cotton On Smile Makers : <a href="https://cottonon.com/AU/smile-makers-vibrators/6332293-08.html">https://cottonon.com/AU/smile-makers-vibrators/6332293-08.html</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

How Much Would You Pay For A Full Night’s Sleep?

<p>First up, #candlebaby - let’s make it happen. Happy sex renaissance to all of you who snagged a sex candle, we’re so happy to be your aphrodisiac! Then, Gem gives us a run down on Bali, aka The Best Trip Ever, highlights include nannies and also babysitters and then there were nannies and also kids club. Gem got her groooooove back too and Hubs has the knees to prove it. But the flight.. Gem talks us through the flight. Revz makes Gem promise to not burn out for the rest of the year and she kind of almost agrees. Then we get into our favourite Troll and how we don’t have time for them. Revz doesn’t have time for paying her children to stay in their beds, or does she? Then we get into camping and how we are not get-in-the-dirt people, give us a nice hotel any day. And then in a sharp right turn, Revz wants to talk about divorced men. Quite the smorgasboard today!

Hear Me Out: A Wife Commune

<p>Do Blondes have more fun? Or is Bronde where it’s at? Revz is making changes. And Gem is frothing on a TV show she feels she’s manifested in and therefore is a producer of. Then Gem doesn’t have time for the state of her car. It’s a proper dumpster and she cannot keep it clean. We’re talking old maccas, kid snacks, yogurt pouches with full populations, receipts, you name it. And it’s gotten so bad that Gem is now embarrassed. But what’s the solution? Is there one when it comes to family cars? Then Revz wants to sell up and start a mothers commune, where we all just wife each other. Taking submissions! Then Revz really wants to get a babysitting round-robin going but Gem is resistant. Happy winter Tuesday DL’s we hope you’re warm and flu free! </p><p>Not Spon</p><p>Gem: Belkin headphones </p><p>Kate : Rotisserie chicken.

I Identify As A Flower

<p>Gem is annoyed at traffic etiquette, but it's not what you might think. And Revz has FINALLY jumped on the Tay Tay and Billie train and Gem is eye-rolling all the way down the road (but glad she's here). And is having three weddings normal now? What's going on? Then we unpick the Flower &amp; Gardener relationship theory. Gem is currently a happy flower, Revz feels she SHOULD be a flower but has played Gardener many times. But who's the flower in our duo? Now, Revz is going to attempt a wild feat: a *free* school holidays in an attempt to give the middle finger to holiday camps and she's already stressed about it. And then Gem has had jack of Boomer resistance to personal pronouns and so she's giving us all a teaching moment in case anyone needs the nudge to confidently get on board the new way 🌈. Happy Tuesday, winter besties, hope you're healthy and warm.</p><p>Not spon</p><p>Gem: Society Inc.</p><p>Kate: Magna tiles</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Would Menstrual Leave Get Competitive, Though?

<p>Whinge alert: in case you missed it, lol, Gem’s Hubs is away and she has realised she’s actually the shit domestic partner and that he does EVERYTHING? But should she tell him that, or continue on the path of “weaponised incompetence”?</p><p>And yes, we get into the importance of bin washing, because we’re a sexy and vibrant podcast. Then, we really must all donate blood. There’s a national shortage and so we live inventory a giveaway to see how many of us can go and help out! Speaking of blood, they’ve renamed the “feminine hygiene” aisle and we like that very much, we do. We have no time for period shame or men who get the ick with periods (puh-lease) but Gem is on about her cup again. So we get into Menstrual Leave which has just been passed in Spain and it makes us wonder if it has new levels of mental load for us women in the work place or if it should be honoured. We talk the mental health day / personal day juggle and how we should really bring back the red tent! Then in a swift last minute move, Revz solves Gem’s overflowing cup dilemma and boom, what are besties for?! </p><p><br></p><p>Not Spon</p><p>Gem: Assembly Label </p><p>Kate : Ricky Gervais on Netflix</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Mum-Shamed For Maccas Drive Thru

<p>Do you make handmade bliss balls and sushi for your kids bento box? Or are you like us and keep it simple and retro with a Vegemite sandwich and some tiny teddies? This week, Revz’ mate got drive-thru shamed and it’s set her off. We get into how well the kiddos get fed at daycare and how as we get older and wiser, we give less shits about their angelic diet. Then, was Gem starving in a former life? Cos she will not share her food (not even with her 4 year old). Then, look, we need to talk about sleep. Revz thought hers were through the sleep drama, Gem is in the thick of sleepless BS, and we just need to talk about what utter torture sleep deprivation is. And because we’re doctors, we wanna talk about the shamey, shamey horse sh*t that is spread around by some people who aren’t on team sleep training. Then we talk about the sleep aids WE need to head off to Dreamland and why we think it’s ok to give kids NONE when we need so many. Then, can we normalise 0 activity weekends? And let’s talk about when you know you’re the one at work letting the team down because MOTHERHOOD. Aaaaanyway, it must be Tuesday!</p><p>-</p><p>Not Spon</p><p>Gem: Bosch power drill toy</p><p>Kate : @bon_tot zodiac totes</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

The Body Love Dilemma

<p>*CW: Disordered Eating*</p><p>Revz is zapping off braid-able leg hair and Gem is in a winter wardrobe funk (oh, it's that time of year again). Yep, Gem is feeling lazy in terms of grooming and decides she wants to groom with a divorce mentality. It's all about the tension between wanting to be majorly hot and not giving even one f*ck about how you look, which we can all relate to. But real talk, Gem is ready for a glow-up and Revz wants to swoop in like a Mama-Bear-Art-Director and finally make her a capsule wardrobe. Then Revz is facing yet another phase of body image stuff and she doesn't have time for the fragility of it all. And this conversation exhausts us both as it soaks up so much time and energy but we really do want the cycle to end with us. Gem is finidng "body love" can be a bandaid and yet another pressure. Revz wants to know how to balance the mental health and physical strength benefits of exercise and nutrition with the demons that come with food and exercise and luckily we have #notspons to focus on so we can have a goddamn break from thinking about our bodies. Love you Besties, glad you're here.</p><p>If you or someone you know needs support, please call 1800 33 4673 or visit The Butterfly Foundation at www.butterfly.org.au</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Are Ultimatums Ever Worth It?

<p>Ready for an all-out nerd-out over some words? (We're so cool). Gem thinks language needs a flowery glow up and then we have a bit of a fight over another nerdy word but STAY WITH US... Gem is feeling smug about her runaway hit of a recco, but she has some very specific conditions under which it can be watched, which Revz thinks is a little agressive. Revz has quit dating to focus on her TV and whinging and it's a full-time job today as #singlemumlife is just caving in on our mate. Gem wants to know about the logistical nightmare of multiple baby daddies and Revz wants everyone to get over the concept. Gem's mate's partner was on watch when her kid wrecked her teeth and we hash out if you should allow yourself to care about aesthetic injuries. Then we get into ultimatums and if they ever work out for anyone. A lot covered today in this chat sesh and would someone slide in and tell us we're good for fixing the sound levels, cos we want some credit for that.
