We Don't Have Time For This

Do you make handmade bliss balls and sushi for your kids bento box? Or are you like us and keep it simple and retro with a Vegemite sandwich and some tiny teddies? This week, Revz’ mate got drive-thru shamed and it’s set her off. We get into how well the kiddos get fed at daycare and how as we get older and wiser, we give less shits about their angelic diet. Then, was Gem starving in a former life...

Today's caller wants to be a gentle parent but mama has her limits. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Step right up! Step right up! It's our annual AMA (and for those seriously asking, it stands for ASK ME ANYTHING). And we're covering all your questions from karaoke go-to's to sex positions to shared custody to a formal statement on Gem's new Life Palette. Basically continuing our tradition of bluring out shit that most people would say "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!" to, so enjoy! We had a lot of fun gett...

Today's caller has a morning and night routine: battle. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*CW: Disordered Eating* Revz is zapping off braid-able leg hair and Gem is in a winter wardrobe funk (oh, it's that time of year again). Yep, Gem is feeling lazy in terms of grooming and decides she wants to groom with a divorce mentality. It's all about the tension between wanting to be majorly hot and not giving even one f*ck about how you look, which we can all relate to. But real talk, Gem is...

Today's caller has found herself again and it's driving a wedge between her and her partner. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ready for an all-out nerd-out over some words? (We're so cool). Gem thinks language needs a flowery glow up and then we have a bit of a fight over another nerdy word but STAY WITH US... Gem is feeling smug about her runaway hit of a recco, but she has some very specific conditions under which it can be watched, which Revz thinks is a little agressive. Revz has quit dating to focus on her TV and wh...

Today's caller is feeling stuck and anxious with the wild and unpredictable change that's happened to her life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today it's "TIME FOR DINNNNNER!" as we discuss the most awkward lyrics to get stuck in your head (IYKYK). The kids have been dropping truth bombs about bodies and we're just trying so very hard to be good with it, despite the realness. Then Gem's hubs is on a new wicket and so what does that mean for the WFH mama? We're upping the ante on the outsourcing that's what it all means and you know CEO G...

Today's caller is feeling the hover, and wondering when she can bail. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Birth-day round-up! (Birth-day round up!) there's two poddy baby bdays happening at the mo and Gem and Revz feel differently about the passing of time. Gem does not have time for how boring trucks and cars are... and she's not wrong, like, get a new sound. And Revz gets high on her own supply and goes on a rant about dads doing braids. Also, we did an embarrasing thing pretending to be influencers...

This week's caller has a kid who's into "eyebrow art" just in time for school photos.

So, Revz has arrived at the place where holidays are fun again (what WHAT?!) but don't feel too jealous, she's also arrived at Pokémon-land which is a real kick in the tits cashflow wise. Gem has a four year old (heart eyes) but is upset by how rich people are geting on YouTube and yes, we feel this deeply in our bones on a fundamental-not-ok level. ALso, Revz is mad that every dress ever has cut...

Today's caller wants to know how other mums seem to always look so put together when her ankle biters won't let her pick up a hairbrush. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's caller wants to know why her 2022 show bag is so... well... bullshit. #thankgodforbertiebeetle See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would it be Tuesday if there wasn’t period cups, mochas and chat about pulling out? (If you asked “of what?” you’ve got the wrong podcast). Today we do NOT have time for taking all the goddamn responsibilities for birth control for our whole damn lives. Like, when does it end? With a vasectomy, that’s when! It makes us rage, RAGE like a full-moon wolf in heat! Aaaaanyway…  what is the ideal age ga...

You voted, we listened! Gem's household is down with the c bug, so we're dishing up one of our top, all time fav episodes like the warm cosy comfort food Gem can't taste. Let's slide back in to the adventures at Whizzy World with some OG Gem and Revz. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gem has claws, of the nail art variety and so is an expert, der. But what do you do about the shit (literally) that gets under the nail art? Eew. And while the world falls to shit, we’ve properly lost our minds. Gem had a public shaming (filmed by her mum, lol) in a mall with a screaming toddler and got “saved” by a well meaning onlooker, but did that reward some rubbish behaviour? And are tantrum...

This week's caller wants to go back to work but her wage wont cover daycare. Is it worth it? - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note via our Instagram DMs with you dilemma! Gem & Revz x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, we're back in iso (one of us anyway) so we are coming to you remote-record stye today from two different homes. One of which was almost burned down by woo woo last week, so we get into that. Then Gem doesn't have time for phone addiction; hers' or her hubs, but Revz is still a full-blown addict, so what's the way to have the "portal" and a healthy tech-life? We get into bad behaviour at your...

Today's caller is JUST 👏🏻 DONE 👏🏻 with the lunchbox Police. - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note via our Instagram DMs with you dilemma! Gem & Revz x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gem doesn't think she should be a podcast host any more... because of her "new" "celebrity" "crush" and how she only just worked it out. Revz throws out some controversial opinions on her taste in chocolate during shark week which sparks a MAJOR FEUD that goes on too long. And then Gem is back at the annual birthday party dilemma about who you invite and don't invite and how many is too many and w...

Today's caller is weary at the thought of toilet training her twins and to that we say... DON'T??? - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma! Gem & Revz x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, the DLs are rioting about Revz' comments on balayage and there's a mutiny happening in the Facebook group. But we are, frankly, exhausted by all the "on-edge-energy" going round and round (the world). We're calling it jet-lag with a side of whiplash. But enough of platitudes, it's Tuesday and there's shit we don't have time for; today, it's "Toxic Gratitude". Revz has very mixed feelings about...

This weeks caller ( A MAN, NO LESS ) is wondering about the apps, about dating, when its time and is it bullshit (spoiler alert, yes.) - If you want to "phone" the Bestie Hotline, send us a voice note in our instagram DMs with your dilemma!
