The House of BS

We’re Back. Zero Planning. We said we were coming back. We didn’t say we’d be organised. In this comeback episode we talk about where we’ve actually been, why Glen refuses to plan anything (including BS Moment of the Week), camera battery drama, and that viral TikTok list everyone’s been debating. Nothing scripted. Nothing filtered. Just us. House of BS is officially back. Youtube - https://youtu....

This week, Becky and Glen tackle the politics of partying - from having friends with kids to planning a long-overdue adults-only bash. When did everyone get so serious? When did fun start requiring permission slips? And why does adulthood suddenly feel like a spreadsheet with snacks? In Party Poopers (and the Death of the Fun Adult), the House of BS crew unpack how growing up seems to have sucked...

What started as a bit of fun - making up ridiculous new laws - turned into a surprisingly serious conversation about the state of the world. In this week’s House of BS, we ask the big (and small) questions: what would we change if we actually ran things? From fixing traffic and scrapping long work hours to how fairness, wellbeing, and common sense might do more for humanity than any government eve...

We disappeared. Vanished. Pulled a full Houdini. But we’re back! Slightly dishevelled, mostly unprepared, and armed with a long list of reasons (some valid, some very much not). In this week’s House of BS, we unpack the chaos that kept us off the mic - from work madness and life overload to the small excuses that snowballed into three weeks of silence. We also test our creative powers in The Excus...

Welcome to Episode 9 of The House of BS! This week, we’re back from a fancy night out at Atlantis The Royal, but instead of a peaceful, indulgent experience, we were joined by… Peppa Pig and public tantrums.

This week, we’re stepping away from the usual laughs and chaos to talk about something that changed our lives in a very different way - our adoption journey. Or more accurately… our failed adoption attempt. It’s not the easiest episode to record, but we felt it was important to share. Not every story ends in a picture-perfect family photo and not all adoption journeys go the way you planned. Ours...

Episode 7: Plot Twist – We Moved! This week on The House of BS, things went a little sideways (in true BS fashion). We packed up our lives very suddenly and moved house, mid-week, mid-series, mid-chaos.

In Episode 6 of The House of BS, we’re diving into the big, awkward, and often hilarious reality of changing plans in your 30s and 40s — from careers to relationships, to that whole ‘life path’ thing. What happens when you’re not where you thought you’d be? And what do you do when everyone else seems to be doing things “on time”? It’s real, it’s relatable, and it’s probably going to make you laugh...

We might not have kids, but that doesn’t mean we’re floating around in a constant state of yoga and lie-ins (though that does sound dreamy). In this episode, we’re talking about time — how we use it, how we waste it, and why it never seems to feel like enough… even when, technically, we have more of it. From endless scrolling to spontaneous travel and some brutally honest self-awareness, join us a...

From small talk in supermarkets to the size of school car parks, life in the Middle East is not what we expected and we’re still learning every day. In this episode, we’re talking about what it’s really like to leave everything behind, move to another country, and start again in a place where nothing is familiar but everything feels like a chance to grow. We share the culture shocks, the things we...

This week, we’re diving into the unsolicited nonsense people love to say when you don’t have kids. From outdated expectations to jaw-dropping comments, we’re unpacking the weird, the rude, and the downright hilarious things we’ve heard — and how we really feel about them.
