We Don't Have Time For This

Go Away With Your Perfect Parenting

<p>Do you call your friends first thing on their birthday or do you (cough, Gem) call them on their birthday not knowing it’s their birthday and talking about some other sh*t? And how special are birthdays after the age of 21 anyway? Then, Gem’s kids FaceTimed her Dad with a surprise effect and it makes us wonder just how “bubbly” Australia is? And speaking of, Gem had an interaction that made her question same sex v co-ed schools, but Revz has questions. And then Revz doesn’t have time for a very specific, hyper “positive” instagram account that’s making her a bit (disproportionately?) ragey. Gem hard disagrees. Just another relatively unhinged Tuesday, besties.

Smug UnMarried Bullsh*t

<p>So Revz did a staycay at a fancy hotel and met a Japanese toilet…hilarity ensues! Gem is hooked on one helluva drug called Parent Pride TM and she wants to talk about it (once Raffa is done saving the planet - thank you daycare). But really what kicks off today’s meandering deep and meaningful, is Revz’s regret over a smug comment she made to the pod team in the car. She’s wondering if it was a dickhead thing to say, but also, it sparks some really twisty, curly questions about marriage, relationships, cohabitating, combining finances, all the juicy sh*t! And we have some serious questions for you DLs, including but not limited to, what level of purchase do you have to “check” with your partner about..and other dilemmas. Happy Tuesday Queens, keep it rolling in the Facebook group! </p><p>—</p><p>Vote for us in the Australian Podcast awards! 🏆 https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p>#Notspon:</p><p>Gem: Kmart Disco Light</p><p>Revz: Cotton On Swimwear</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Is It Rude To Not RSVP? (Spoiler, Yes)

<p>We’re so in sync now it’s like we’re N’sync; thanks to the tour the sharks are circling. We have a whole lotta new DLs, so we asked you how to explain this show to newbies and you had some great answers (cos of course you did). We had a fun run in with a DL in Brisbane who had an interesting way of “trying to like” her husband which we get into. And then Gem doesn’t have time for being a sh*t mate when it comes to an RSVP and it gets us thinking about attachment theory (cos of course it does). Then Revz doesn’t have time for squirrelling on her sister but has a curly explanation that gem doesn’t buy. </p><p><br></p><p>Not spon: </p><p>Kate- We the Wild Plant Care: https://wethewild.co/</p><p>Gem- Plz vote for us for Australian podcast awards: https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p><br></p><p>DL's favourite episodes:</p><ul> <li>That's An Expensive Full Moon (w/ Crazy Lisa)</li> <li>D&amp;M: The Au Pair </li> <li>Sex in the Car Park, Not A Vibe</li> <li>Tallking Shit, Like Literally</li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

My Biggest Fears Are Not Your Marketing Tools

<p>Back to regular programming and ya girls are sitting down for a good old fashion chat about life again. Things got shaken up in Gem household while she was on the road and she doesn’t have time for how little respect her kids have for…well… her. At least some sleep is being had but at what (emotional) cost? Then Revz is quite furious this week and she is not messing around calling it out. Strap yourselves in cos there’s a situation that went down while we were away that was not at all ok; and while the ending is a relief the process was pretty unforgivable. Big love DLs, we’re so grateful to be here this week and every week. </p><p><br></p><p>#Not spon:</p><p>Gem: Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm</p><p>Revz: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</p><p><br></p><p>Vote for us as LISTENERS CHOICE at the Aus Podcast Awards: </p><p>https://www.australianpodcastawards.com/voting</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

What Goes On Tour....

<p>We’re coming down pretty hard after the official BEST month in the podcast’s ( /our) life, Tour Month. We just can’t quite get over it and so we’re deep diving today; sharing with you what went wrong, what went right, the highs, the lows, the cheeseburgers, the murder motels, our best mate Guy Sebastian and the absolute best thing about the lot of it… the DLs! We’re sure one day we’ll come down off this cloud eventually, but today is not that day. Thank you to everyone who came to see us and for everyone who joined in online all over the world.

Helicopters and Tigers and Lawnmowers, Oh My!

<p>DLs we&rsquo;re in Brisbane! And happy about it after a raucous and magical first show in Melbourne! And there are two types of people (well, two types of &ldquo;show nails&rdquo;) and we rep both. But Revz has made life very hard for herself, indeed. Iggy has climbed atop Consumerism Mountain, taking the title of King Stuff from Teddy. And so that means Gem just like, can&rsquo;t take him to the shops? Gem does have time for her &ldquo;odd one out&rdquo; and Revz doesn&rsquo;t have time for working out her parenting style from an ever growing list of dolphins and lighthouses and tigers, oh my. But we&rsquo;re jazzed to be performing for our Queenslander DLs tonight so nothing can bring us down today! On stage or in your ears we&rsquo;re so happy to be with you this Tuesday.</p> <p>Not spons:</p> <p>Revz: Clothing Clean Up</p> <p>Gem: Tina Heel from Sheike</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

That's Showbiz!

<p>Morning legends! While we casually jet to Melbourne to see our Victorian DLs, we have a fresh ep for you! But first, Raffa has taken on a task that&rsquo;s lightened Gem&rsquo;s mental load and Teddy is loving a luscious rats tail. Then we show you a bit of how the sausage gets made to tell you Gem has forgotten how to be an actor, lol. But kinda not lol, cos it&rsquo;s showtime. Revz is highly emotional about leaving the babies which is off brand and a massive surprise tbh. Gem is stoked to start sleeping through the night. Some fun not spons and then we don&rsquo;t have time for this guys, we have a SHOW to do!!</p> <p>Not spons</p> <p>Revz: The Bear on Disney+</p> <p>Gem: Garlic Prawns on pizza</p> <p>Honourable Mentions:</p> <p>Cheeky Quokka Co travel packing cubes: https://www.cheekyquokkaco.com.au/</p> <p>Kmart shapewear</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

A Cumming of Age Story

<p>So, Teddy has discovered Gwen Stefani and that sh*t is bananas. Gem had a quote / meme / reel fall in her lap and it’s now her entire parenting philosophy. Revz loves it and is reminded of the time she negotiated her way out of maths for keeps. Cool story. Then Revz does not have time for a massive loss of innocence in the canteen line and Gem doesn’t have time for using up all her grandparent credit when she’s maxed out on childcare. TBH between the podcast and the live show, we’re both well and truly in the red. But onwards we march for another Tuesday with our besties. </p><p><br></p><p>#NotSpon:</p><p>Gem: The Deepest Breath documentary on Netflix </p><p>Kate: Gro-To Sud Bud and Skin Wizard</p><p><a href="https://gotoskincare.com/pages/gro-to">https://gotoskincare.com/pages/gro-to</a></p><p><br></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Don’t Ask Me If Your Marriage is Dead

<p>First up, Raffa has changed her tune on something and Gem is pretty devo about it. Then we wanna know how often people are washing their towels. Like, honestly, how often. Cos we feel very different about it but we do love that hotel life. Then Revz doesn’t have time for people asking for a relationship diagnosis like she’s an expert (spoiler, she’s not) but we also kinda get it. And then Gem has a really big one today and it’s weighing heavily on her heart. We wade through together and unpick the many layered reality of the idea of a particular beauty truth.

It's Just A Phase

<p>Gooood Morning DLs! Its Tuesday morning and we are starting out with a BIG announcement today, so buckle up! We have been busy, busy bees getting ready for the Tour (TM) but first we have an update on last week, a near car accident (!) and some serious hair cut chat. Yep, thats right, Gem bit the bullet and cut her kids kidnap hair and she had a weird, unpredictable reaction. Then Revz has the mirror firmly up in the form of her son’s “phases” which we argue over the real definition of and we have some bougie and TV watching #notspons to bring it all home.</p><p><br></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Please Stop Staring

<p>First up, Gem gives the update no one asked for and tries to rebrand something no one asked to rebrand. It’s fine, we love her for it. Revz regales us with a truly superb spew story and so we’re off to a queasy start, aren’t we? Then Revz doesn’t have time for the weirdness of being the unmarried woman at the BBQ, which sparks a convo about gender divides at Aussie get-togethers. Finally Gem had a park interaction that sparked some research and parental soul searching. It’s been a big week DLs, thanks for coming along for the ride.</p><p>Gem's reference:</p><p><a href="https://childrensplaygarden.org/10-strategies-for-talking-to-kids-about-disability/">https://childrensplaygarden.org/10-strategies-for-talking-to-kids-about-disability/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Not Spons:</p><p>Gem: My Sibling Above https://wholeheartedly.com.au/collections/childrens-books</p><p>Revz: The Iconic Returns Policy</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Burn, Baby, Burn.

<p>Ok so, don’t tell anyone, but making pizzas is an art. Like, don’t try this at home kids..for real. Gem has a new appreciation for the upper crust so stay tuned for her latest that-will-never-happen moment; ambitions of becoming a pizza chef. Then it looks like the time for haircuts might have come (praise be) and Revz is maybe a little too excited. But not so excited she gets distracted from calling out Gem, like she promised she would, on her work schedule. This takes us into quite an unexpected but important discussion about burn out. As a weird chaser, Revz is frustrated with knickers and we talk porridge and YouTube. Happy Tuesday DLs, we adore you.</p><p>Revz mention: Yoga Nidra For Sleep and Rest</p><p><a href="https://insig.ht/Dm9Zcc6HjBb">https://insig.ht/Dm9Zcc6HjBb</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Bad Things Come In Threes, Right?

<p>We kick off today with a little beauty PSA about chrome nails for those playing at home and then, holy shit, we BOTH got Taylor Swift tickets and we don&rsquo;t quite understand how ( #survivorguilt ). Gem had a truly seismic horrendous day and she&rsquo;s got the receipts to show for it. You won&rsquo;t believe how UN-cozzy-lives approved this story is. And Revz has been smacked down by a horrendous flu and it&rsquo;s been a confronting time which does not at all match her hot girl winter&trade;️ or birthday szn. Some semi-bleak not spons, but some rollicking lols for you all aswell.

Don't Post That, Mum

<p>We got a pass agg gift from Revz’ mum; Gem wants to know what the design is and Revz is dirty about storage. Gem had a weird incident at the beach involving a tourist which sent protective Dads on fire. Gem’s watching Parental Guidance and it’s making her think about having her kids online yet again which makes Revz pause at this new juncture of older kids. Then Revz has a bone to pick with the internet which might be a little cinematography-snob of her but she can’t stomach something going around and around. Gem is very reasonable about it which only makes Revz more annoyed. The mantra here is : “Let it go Revz, let it go.” Gem’s got a smart ass kid who’s weaponising her own wisdom against her and are we all exhausted? Spoiler alert; yes.
