The Rosie and Roula Show

24. In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of wanting to have children or not. We get real about our personal journeys with the big question, sharing our own thoughts on why we either do or don’t want children. Expect laughter, some honesty, and a few lightbulb moments as we chat about societal pressures, the freedom of a child-free life, and the complexities of parenting. Whether you'r...

23. Why is height such a big deal? In this episode, Roula shares how being short shaped her experiences, Rosie talks about the pros and cons of being tall, and we question why Google even includes height in celebrity bios. From dating preferences to awkward height differences, we get into the weird ways society values being tall. Tune in and let us know if you think height should matter at all! --...

22. Is manspreading a subconscious habit, a comfort thing, or just plain rude? In this episode, Rosie vents about men taking up too much space on public transport, Roula questions whether it’s a cultural thing, and we wonder—do they even realise they’re doing it? We also get into body confidence, unexpected nudity, and whether Speedos should make a comeback. Tune in and let us know if you think ma...

21. In this episode, Rosie and Roula dive into the things they envy about men—whether it's the freedom to go topless, muscle envy (hello, Lenny Kravitz), or the ability to pee standing up without any fuss. From the simplicity of beer and movie nights to the thought of getting into home improvement, they explore the things that make them think, “Why can’t I do that?” Tune in and let us know wh...

20. We’re talking all about grey hair—why we love it, hate it, and sometimes freak out about it. Rosie shares her grey eyebrow drama, and Roula opens up about her decision to ditch the dye and embrace her natural silver. We dive into the double standards around aging for men and women, the surprising confidence boost grey hair can bring, and why aging can feel like a second puberty (but way cooler...

19. Food isn’t just for eating—it’s for feeling, savouring, and apparently, making a lot of noise about. In this episode, Rosie confesses to her habit of moaning over a good meal, Roula shares how her family can’t stand it, and we get into why some people find loud eaters annoying while others think it’s a sign of true enjoyment. From disastrous homemade dishes to meals so good they feel life-chan...

18. Is swearing a sign of laziness, power, or just personality? In this episode, Rosie reflects on whether she drops too many F-bombs, Roula explains why she avoids swearing in Arabic, and we chat about when swearing is effective vs when it’s just filler. From cultural differences to childhood rules, we unpack how language shapes the way we express ourselves. Tune in and let us know if you think s...

17. Why do we keep apologising for things that don’t need an apology? Being late, taking up space, even just existing—women, in particular, have a habit of saying sorry when there's nothing to be sorry for. In this episode, we break down the over-apologising trap, why it weakens what a real apology should mean, and how to replace unnecessary sorries with something more powerful. Plus, Roula s...

16. Sweat happens, but why do women get judged for it more than men? In this episode, Rosie shares her lifelong battle with being a sweaty human, Roula gets real about body odour deal-breakers, and we talk about why some people are more self-conscious about it than others. From deodorant debates to clothes that betray you, we cover it all. g. Tune in and let us know your thoughts about sweat ! ---...

15. Ever lost your keys, your sunglasses, or even driven to the wrong place? We’re right there with you. This week, we’re talking forgetfulness—Roula's lost glasses are practically a recurring character in her house, while Rosie’s van is a Bermuda Triangle of missing sunnies and tape measures. We laugh, we rant, and we admit: maybe technology is making us lazier in the memory department. And...

14. Love at first sight—what’s the deal? In this episode, we’re calling it like we see it: total nonsense. Roula breaks it down—love isn’t some magical fairy tale, it’s more like a project you’ve got to work at. Rosie shares some cringe-worthy wedding speech moments (cue the eye rolls), and we talk about how real love grows through arguments, hard work, and solid communication—not just some instan...

13. Ever felt weird about sending a thumbs-up emoji? You're not alone. In this episode, we dive into the surprisingly heated world of emoji etiquette. Rosie thinks it’s passive-aggressive, but Roula’s here to tell her (and you) to chill. We’re talking about overthinking digital tone, setting boundaries with emojis, and whether “fuck off” paired with a heart is actually affectionate. Grab your...

12. Should you say excuse me when you burp or fart, or is it just part of being human? In this episode, we get into the etiquette of bodily functions, the social awkwardness around them, and whether some people are just way too comfortable. Roula shares a mortifying moment from her early twenties, Rosie reflects on past pet peeves, and we both admit that sometimes, you just can’t control it. Tune...

11. Botox gets a bad rap, but is it really just about vanity? In this episode, Roula shares why she first got Botox and what keeps her going back, while Rosie unpacks her own thoughts on aging and beauty. We talk about confidence, society’s obsession with looking younger, and whether there’s still shame around getting a little help from a needle. Is Botox just another way of looking after yourself...

10. Some fears make sense: spiders, sharks, things that can actually kill you. But what about the ones that don’t? In this episode, Rosie relives her childhood spider trauma, Roula reveals the bizarre thing that makes her physically ill, and we chat about the difference between fears and full blown phobias. Is there any logic behind them or is our brain just messing with us? Tune in and tell us th...

9. We’ve all heard it—old people and technology don’t mix. But is that actually true, or just a lazy stereotype? In this episode, we get into it! Roula admires the tech-savvy pensioners navigating a world of apps and automation, while Rosie shares a surprising stat about who’s actually best at picking up new tech. We chat about the good, the bad, and the downright terrifying sides of technology (b...

8. Ever taken one look at someone and thought, “No thanks!”? This episode is all about those gut reactions - are they fair? Are we just being judgy? Or is there some hidden wisdom in our instincts? Rosie confesses to a childhood snap judgment, Roula shares a story about a guest she instantly disliked (and turns out, for good reason), and we ask if we should always trust our first impressions. Tune...

7. Ever been stuck in a soul-sucking, one-sided chat and had no idea how to get out of it? In this episode, we’re swapping our most cringe-worthy stories (a caravan, Jack Daniels, and... buttons? Yep, it’s a ride) and getting real about setting boundaries. Whether it’s nosy neighbours, chatty strangers, or friends who overshare, we’re sharing the *hilarious* ways we’ve failed—and a few solid tips...

6. In this episode, Rosie’s talks about shaving her head live on TikTok and Facebook tomorrow. Why? Because she’s over the hassle of messy buns and greasy hair and wants to feel the freedom of a fresh start. Plus, she’s raising funds to fix her van’s electrical system, which keeps her home on wheels running. We talk about the nerves, the reactions (her great-aunt’s shock is gold), and what it mean...

5. Why is washing your hair such a pain? Rosie spills the beans on why she can’t be bothered, even though she loves the feeling of clean hair. Then things get real when she contemplates shaving her head entirely (yep, *all* of it). Roula chimes in with her own bold bald move back in the day, and the two weigh up freedom, social perceptions, and the fear of looking like a shiny egg. Should Rosie go...

4. Can boys wear pink? We say hell yes—and we’re here to back it up. In this episode, we dive into why colours have rules ( ...they shouldn’t) and share a juicy story about a pink purse causing family drama. We explore how society shapes what’s “acceptable” and why we think it’s all nonsense. Plus, we get real about raising kids to be their authentic selves—and, yeah, we might have a soft spot for...

3. This week, we’re unpacking the surprisingly old fashioned topic of etiquette – but don’t worry, we’re keeping it real, not posh. Is it just about being considerate, or has society slapped too many rules on us? Rosie’s ready to throw it all out the window, while Roula’s here to show us how it’s really just about being decent humans. From awkward wine glass grabs to showing up with flowers that c...

2. In this episode, we dive into the age-old debate: Should people with a penis put the toilet seat down for people with a vagina? Rosie shares her frustrations with late-night toilet mishaps and the struggle of sitting on a cold seat, while Roula wonders why people don’t just sit down to pee for a smoother bathroom experience. We also talk about the hygiene side of things and come up with a simpl...
