2024. What's up & what's in 22.01.2024

I don't know about you, but I get the feeling that people are ready for a change. I'm not sure what that collective "change" is, but I know there is one. I can feel it. Deep in my bones. Under the bits of orangey, saggy flesh. In this week's podcast, as well as bringing you bang up-to-date with what's been going on in the the world of La Deacles, we wanted to share a few personal "ins". Ins for 20...

job Seeking and Cock-Tales 12.12.2023

It's jobs, jobs, jobs in our house at the moment. Honestly, it's all we can talk about. We've got a son who needs one, a daughter who's juggling one and a woman in Australia who's jumping over the tins of baked beans to avoid one...

Gatecrashers, royalty & deranged morning routines 28.11.2023

Liz and Brian's morning routine has changed drastically. Just when they thought they'd discovered a nice quiet hidey-hole to indulge in some golfy meditation, a bunch of rude gatecrashers (and a soggy beast) forced Liz to act quite strangely. Talking of strange… In this weeks husband and wife we discuss the glorious habits of the Queen's alkie sister, why Brian feels inferior to a hunk who never s...

Couples Who Overshare 20.11.2023

In this week's episode, husband and wife Liz and Brian set out to discover if it is healthy for a couple to spill the beans about personal stuff online. Reveal all. Is it really necessary to wash those filthy sheets in public, or should 'things like that' be folded neatly into a square and rammed into the top drawer with the flowery hankies? Let's find out... While we're at it, you'll also hear ab...

Sonny. How's Life Online? (Behind The Scenes) 09.11.2023

Sonny, our son, is now 22.

Sit back, listen and enjoy as Sonny and Liz talk about breakups, the damage of social media, making money online and how it feels to be the main character...

Unwanted News 03.11.2023

In the five years that this podcast has been going, this week's episode was the hardest one to record. For those who have been with us for a while, you will know we try our hardest to promote honesty and transparency. We like to keep it real. Sometimes (for those who have read my book) maybe a little too real. I'm not one for tricking people. Making things look better than they are. So, as hard as...

Wet Behind The Ears 21.10.2023

Looking back, I was so wet behind the ears I'm surprised I didn't drown.  Two years ago, I announced to the world that I would be writing, publishing and marketing my first-ever book with no clue what lay ahead. Ahh...isn't ignorance bliss...  But as challenging as it has been, writing and publishing my book is STILL the best thing I have ever done.  In this week's special edition podcast, Brian a...

Proverb: Man who work non-stop has small sausage 12.10.2023

You leave your home to go "away" for a few weeks and believe that everything will be Puuurfecct. You tell yourself you'll relax. Take massages. Eat out (without complaining). Wrong. Join Liz and Bri this week as they open a can of sausages (small ones) and share the highs and lows of being away from home for 5 weeks. They reveal the gourmet and gross food they've eaten in New Zealand, the things t...

What a Drip 05.10.2023

This week's episode is brought to you from the lovely and very gorgeous art deco city of Napier in New Zealand, where Liz and Bri are housesitting for five weeks in a rambling old villa perched high on a lofty hill.

How's Life Alone? Tessa. (Behind The Scenes) 19.09.2023

Since her last visit, she has flown the nest to start a new life alone in the capital city of New Zealand, Wellington.

Up Yours, Hugh 14.09.2023

Is there anything worse than a fraud? Someone who poses to be someone they aren't?? In this week's episode, Liz and Bri talk about family reunions, tell-tales, defending titles, overstepping the limit at work and being presented with a half-naked chocolate Italian. My, my. I hope you're ready...  Links mentioned in the show: If you want to join us in using the BEST travel hack in the world, use ou...

Call Yourself a Friend?? 06.09.2023

Liz and Brian are off on a five-week holiday. Housesitting in New Zealand. But before they reveal where they are going, they want to tell you all about the loneliest place in America, the twee-est town in China,  and the smelliest place in Australia. Oh, and it's only fair you should hear about Dave the deserter -  some bloke they knew ages ago who was a friend-not-friend. The one with purple hair...

Banging on the Ceiling 29.08.2023

Imagine living in a house with no walls. Where everything was upside down and shaped like a lav. Where spiders and snakes swam in puddles of rain under your bed. In this week's episode, we are talking houses. Not just shapes and sizes but the weird goings-on that takes place behind closed doors—or glass walls. Or mud roofs. Crikey. Get ready to hear all about Liz and Brian's failed attempt to find...

All Down Hill from Here 16.08.2023

Is there anything more attractive than seeing a man swinging from a ceiling bar with one hand, wearing only his underpants? Or anything more impressive than seeing some bloke smash a wooden toilet seat to smithereens with his head?  No. Absolutely not. I agree.  In this week's It's a Drama Podcast episode, you will learn what Bri is doing to stay young, celebrate Liz getting herself up off the flo...

Wedding Thug 09.08.2023

Spring is in the air (at least in Liz's upside-down head), and what better thing to talk about than love, marriage and hurly-burly thugs? Be prepared to learn about how one couple's glorious day was gate-crashed by a beast and why Liz and Brian's choice of a driver at their own wedding turned into something of a massive surprise... Enjoy! Links mentioned in the show: Liz's latest book, THE TRAVEL...

Laughing all the way to the BANK 02.08.2023

Ohh...you're in for a real chuckle today peeps! Victor Hugo famously said that "laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." Hmm. I'm not sure if I'd go that far. I just spent forty-five minutes laughing on this week's podcast and I still look like an insipid dripping candle. But. After listening to this episode, I can guarantee that YOU won't!  Stand by to learn about the world's...

Bye-Bye 50's 13.07.2023

Guess what day it is tomorrow?? Go on. Have a guess. It's Bri's birthday.

Was it Even Worth it? Cost of a Weekend in Wellington, NZ 05.07.2023

Liz and Brian are back from their four-day long weekend in Wellington, New Zealand, where they spent three nights housesitting and spending time with their daughter.

Escaping to Wellington. But at what cost? 28.06.2023

Brian and Liz are knackered. Whacked. They need a weekend away. Escape for a few days. The trouble is, accommodation in New Zealand is not cheap...in fact, it's costly. And there's no way they can sleep on their daughter's couch. Not when she lives in a penthouse with drafty windows... So what do Liz and Bri do when they want to travel and pay nothing?? They turn to what they love the most: Houses...

Gobsmacked 20.06.2023
