Gotta Go

This week, we’re doing a bit of a different episode as Briony sits down with author, inventor, and engineer Saul Griffith to break down the reality of the energy transition. We started off straight at the source to find out how the Australian government is leaving a jaw-dropping $56 billion a year on the table with gas exports. We went down a tech rabbit hole to find out if the moral panic surroun...

First off, we give a major shout-out to our grandmas and discuss a beautiful photo trend that reminded us why we need to celebrate older women on a whole new level. One of us reflects on a hilarious, accidental "superhero" stance during a very real home robbery. There’s a wild story about a chaotic holiday excursion that involves getting strapped to a highly stressed ostrich. One of us is tracking...

One of us is suddenly a hardcore football fan The other one shared a genius, completely cringe-free corporate hack to score a pay rise using nothing but a calendar alert and a Google Doc. We don’t know why Australian houses are built like literal leaky iceboxes. We also reminisced about the highly chaotic fortnight where two separate family cars spontaneously burst into flames. One of us is offici...

First off, we give a big old shout-out to our Mum, who we didn’t fully appreciate until we had kids of our own. One of us went to an energy healer in Sydney to help with postpartum anxiety. There’s also a really eerie story about a Ouija board which is guaranteed to give you goosebumps. One of us discovered the art of micro-feminism with hilarious results. We realised that our love for AI has cata...

One of us binge-watched the Kylie doc “for research”. We’ve realised teenagers are now casually doing things that make our entire adolescence look like a long nap. One of us got styling advice that instantly explained every chaotic wardrobe purchase we’ve ever made. We got budgety again, and yes, the gas rant returned (with fresh rage). We also started rethinking what we share about our kids onlin...

One of us had to apologise for being aggressively helpful The other one’s baby brain fully clocked off mid-meeting… and came back 15 minutes later with a lamb sandwich and zero awareness we were still on the call. One of us went back to her favourite beach and got hit with climate grief that made it all too real We had a side quest into electrifying your house, green loans, and why “carbon footpri...

One of us was today years old when she realised the Michelin Guide was actually invented by the tyre company The other one casually interviewed a world leader and was jealous of their choice in shoes. We got budgety for a minute and agreed housing is cooked, everyone’s whinging, and no one actually wants to be a politician. One of us felt a bit weird about the new Michael Jackson film… because “ex...

Briony is the main event on the podcast this week and the joy is apparent. But because life loves a plot twist, there are also some truly awful bits. From growing up in a vet practice where her Dad was basically a superhero (including rescuing a literal Bengal tiger at 2am). To over-annunciating her words wherever possible, because proper diction is important. She landed her dream job and produced...

It’s all about Molly this week and frankly, it’s about time. This will probably be Molly’s favourite episode. A couple of teasers for you: Molly was hopeless with a refedex and outsourced her navigation needs. She’s been planning outfits and setting trends since she was 18 months old and is still waiting for her Hollywood breakthrough. She had dreams of being an adorable goat owner, but her realit...

One of us had a sudden, humbling realisation this week… and it involved babies, friendship, and a very overdue apology. The other one had a few thoughts about what new parents actually need from you (hint: it’s not another tiny outfit with 400 press stud buttons). One of us is still grieving a certain era we were meant to have… which was rudely sabotaged by the other. Briony pointed out that Aussi...

One of us turned 40 this week… and had big feelings about what a privilege it is. The other one is still in newborn land, where time isn’t real, and sleep is a rumour. Molly is campaigning for drive-through everything, because getting eggs shouldn’t require a full logistical plan. We shared a celebrity encounter from the archives that still makes us cringe-laugh, and Briony used an accent Molly wi...

One of us discovered that a cute outfit can genuinely improve your mood (science says yes, and so do strangers who suddenly start complimenting you in the supermarket). The other one has started carrying watercolours everywhere and whipping them out at random intervals. One of us did an outrageously extra newborn photoshoot. Shout out to Anne Geddes (IYKYK) Scheduling joy is saving us from the mon...

One of us had a close encounter with a very hunky celebrity this week. The other one had a close encounter with a tiny reptile. One of us got the short end of that stick. A few other things happened, which we absolutely had to discuss: Briony started a small social media fire accidentally offending true blue Aussie blokes. Molly yelled at reckless youths on bikes (as is her civic duty). Briony is...
