Lise and Sarah

We’re calling it: we’ve never seen this level of emotional intelligence in a Bachelor franchise before. From relationship regrets to a widower who actually knows how to hold space, thie second ep of The Golden Bachelor delivers surprisingly tender moments galore. Jeanette scores the first kiss, Jan keeps glowing like a woman who’s done the work, and “permission to push&rdqu...

Term Four has entered the chat and she is unhinged. Welcome to Term Four: The Musical , our survival guide to the end of the year. We are outsourcing like a bandit, planning easy dinners,  freezing six loaves of sandwiches, bringing back Crisco hamper vibes, gift-bagging everything, and cancelling ALL extracurriculars. Plus, YOUR ideas for how to hack this time of year. We can do hard things!...

Meet Bear -  the Golden Bachelor we didn’t know we needed, and the star of our new favourite group project. Lise and Sarah are officially done living in a world where no one watches the same thing, so they’re calling it: The Golden Bachelor is what we’re watching now, ok?   From Samantha Armitage’s rebellious ear cuff to the frontrunner we’re now calling Oli...

Most of us learned to drive in the backstreets. Not at the Carlaws, it’s straight onto the highway. And honestly, that’s not even the weirdest family plotline this week: Lise’s dad is picking up strangers’ dog poo and worrying about a disabled python at the RSPCA. Meanwhile, Sarah’s launching a public service for the pale-and-purple girlies already panicking about sho...

Call off the recipe hunt: the future of weeknight cooking is here. Two ingredients, one pot. Girls, we’ve started a movement. Plus, a cat in a harness, a scam, we confess our shameful love of petrol/perm/glue fumes, and your next holiday idea: Girls Gone Mild  The show phone is: 0489 214 653 Keep the good times rolling with the Spotify Playlist: Lise and Sarah Kick Ons Want to supp...

Perky peaches are everywhere, so Sarah is on Operation Perky Bum.  But what if the Kardashians started a 'long bum' trend and saved us all the hassle? Lise is trying dry-body brushing again, and Sarah has feedback. Guitar fingernails on men are giving us the major ick, and we road test an excellent 7 point outfit rule. The show phone is: 0489 214 653 Keep the good times rolling with the Spoti...

Walkley awards. Order of Australia Medals. Sure, Leigh Sales has a few trophies at home. But there's one thing there that fills her with a whole lot of joy. Just no one tell the ABC. Plus, we debrief the most Aussie croc attack story ever told, and discover why David Jones might secretly be the nation’s best day spa.  The Assembly season two is available to watch now. All episodes are a...

It's a dark day. Leggings are over, swishy parachute pants are in, and this news threatens to break our friendship apart. We try to get things back on track with a game called the “best day of your life” and play Flamingo Cards, but it just makes things worse. Finally, we lay down the four types of people we cannot be friends with. And then we realise we're ok.  Plus: your tiny li...

Eric-Bana-Watch reaches a crescendo when a savvy and quite well connected listener (hi Sally Hepworth!) forces Eric Bana's unsuspecting wife Rebecca onto the show.  Sarah has had it up to pizzle with voice notes, so Lise stages a live intervention. And did Lise concoct an elaborate tale just to get a free hotel room? The Jury is out.  Send Sarah a voice note to the show phone, she loves...

Eric-Bana-watch is heating up - just no one say the P word. The Triple-B is conquering kitchens everywhere; so the pressure is on for another two ingredient banger. Some incriminating evidence against flirty Barista Joe surfaces, so we call him out on his winky behaviour. And Sarah turns her incredible naming gift on a listener who needs a new moniker for her second act.  The show phone: 0489...

He's a very serious leading man in Hollywood. Eric Bana is currently playing a sexy, broody detective in Netflix's new hit show Untamed. But Sarah remembers him a different way, and wants him to revive his glorious ‘90s comedy. Plus we settle the age-old friendship question - are you a main road wanderer or alleyway rat? And we finally have something on the Gen Z's: a typing speed that will...

F*ck. Sarah's mum has heard the swearing here and she's not happy, so naturally Sar invents a new word. Disco Club went viral but won't someone think of the men? We cleanse our brains with the 10 habits actually working in our lives right now and just when you thought Lise couldn't top the Beef Bolar Blade, she's back with another two-ingredient dinner What's your habit? Send a voice memo to...

What do a $14 rice cooker, a triple B, and six bananas in one day have in common? Boy mums, that's what.  Sarah cops heat from the hungry boy mums of Australia (again), Lise defends her Two Ingredient Dinner segment like it’s Olympic sport, and the great gendered grocery debate reaches boiling point. We also uncover the mortifying things we do as adults (happy birthday singing, ping pon...

Sarah has had enough of overnight wakeups so she's taken to drastic measures. Lise has had enough of cooking dinner so she's revolutionising dinner. Why go to a psychic when AI can tell you what your curse is? And before we're about to throw Dane's thongs in the fire, a voice note from a listener brings us to our knees.  We LOVE hearing from you! The show phone is 0489 214 653 Keep the g...

Sarah can't get through her baby spinach value pack, so we're getting on the bags. Of spinach.  Meanwhile, Lise admitted a sour lolly addiction and now internet sleuths are diagnosing her with Autism.  Sarah has a savage takedown of Gen Z work habits and Lise tries vainly to lift the mood with compliments. Oh, and Lise's husband is still wearing Surfer Joe thongs. Zero compliments to him...

We've frankly had a gutful of life and are taking matters into our own hands. Lise is lasering her foot fungus like a woman possessed. Sarah’s planning a dolphin tattoo revival inspired by her muse, Sarah Murdoch. Thick-haired girls are on notice. And Dane? He’s wearing thongs so ugly and wide that we need a big thong intervention. Show notes  Contact the Thongs Helpline by v...

It was meant to be a handsome little haircut for her handsome little toddler. But when comedian Mel Buttle walked into the hairdresser, something felt off. And the result? Diabolical.  Plus, she's enrolled her two year old in gymnastics, swimming and rugby. So it's time for an intervention into the rort that is toddler sport.  Plus, Sarah has reached her white jeans era, and Lise fell fo...

We’re just two gals cleaning before the cleaner comes, spiralling into generational shame because our mums never outsourced a damn thing. Plus, Sarah channels the spirit realm to name your Thermomix, caravan, and your secret Italy trip.  And we need to talk about slow walkers, because we have notes. Contact the show phone via sending a voice memo or text to 0489 214 653 Keep the go...

Lise deals with the fallout of Barista Flirt-Gate, Sarah’s daughter exposes her parents’ age gap to a full religion class, and we list the propaganda we are officially DONE with (acai bowls, abstract art, and eyelash extensions, you're dead to us).  Contact the show phone via sending a voice memo or text to 0489 214 653 Keep the good times rolling with the Spotify Playlist:&n...

This has been our most commented on episode ever. So we are bringing it out from behind the paywall for everyone to hear, and to appreciate the fleeting, beautiful chaos of right now.  There's just one question at the heart of it:  If you were 80, and you got to come back to now, for just one ordinary day, what would you notice? Expect emotion. Expect perspective. And maybe expect to cry...

A judgmental cat. A suspiciously generous husband. A barista wink that spirals into cougar chaos. Plus, we asked you for your best anti-lifestyle-creep hacks and wow, did you deliver. Contact the show phone via sending a voice memo or text to 0489 214 653 Keep the good times rolling with the Spotify Playlist:  Lise and Sarah Kick Ons Want to support the show for free?

Lise copped a wink from her local barista and now can’t show her face there again. We tried Skims so you don't have to. There's a trend where you ask your partner if you could be on the cover of Vogue, so Lise makes Sarah do it, and regrets nothing. And if your surname was Butcher, are you destined for the meat life?  Contact the show phone via sending a voice memo or text to 0489 214 6...

It might start with a spenny face cream. Then it’s $80 nails, only the good shampoo and that fifth streaming service. This week, we’re unpacking lifestyle creep. When the little luxuries quietly become your new baseline and you can't, or don't want to wind it back. Does tightening the belt need a soft rebrand? Can we champion those who un-creep? Plus: Lise has started a new collec...

What does a tub of orange wedges say about modern motherhood? Apparently a lot. This week, we dive headfirst into the most controversial topic we've ever tackled: the under-12s footy fruit roster. (Yes, really.) But what starts as a whinge about chopping oranges turns into a deep and surprisingly emotional chat about invisible labour, performative parenting, and the quiet expectations placed on wo...

Lise has a new theory and it's unhinged. Every friendship group has a Yang Dog and a Yin Puss. One sails the boat, the other brings the champagne. Which one are you? Plus: we re-did our Year Nine Love Compatibility tests about our husbands, and the results are devastatingly accurate. And Sarah has a nice little a hack for getting out of a funk; just think of your 80 year old self.  Keep the g...
