What's everyone doing with their freezer because Revz has a theory and frankly, none of us are coming out of this looking good. Meanwhile Gem is deep in nit hell and Revz is armed with enough experience, wisdom and unsolicited advice to start a support group. Then we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of 90s kids movies, except Gem's children have started asking questions that absolutely ruin the magic and she does not have time for it. Plus, Revz accidentally receives a DM that was very much not intended for her and what follows is equal parts high school bullshit, overthinking and group therapy.

Gem’s got the holy grail of hacks (no exaggeration) to help with kid’s resilience. Naturally, this leads us down a completely necessary detour into inspirational song recommendations because apparently we're all one power ballad away from personal growth. Then we tackle a parenting controversy that's been dividing households for generations: bribery. Are rewards ruining our children, or are they the only reason anyone under ten is wearing shoes? No seriously, if we don’t have bribes and rewards, how else do we get shit done?

Starting today’s ep with the most important discussion of 2026. What are Australia’s favourite Cadbury chocolate bars? Warning: some results will shock you. More merch has arrived at the pod office and we are frothing!! Gem’s in the extra curricular activity trenches and her weekend is fully booked. Then Iggy’s got a passion and Gem’s trying to be supportive but has not got a f*cking clue. Revz has got questionable advice and tips for the best way to perform sport ball. Take it or (most likely) leave it.

Bella's giving Gem a lesson in pop culture this week. We're talking cringey celeb comebacks, a sneaky marriage, fake freckles and cancelling lolly bags. Bella is bringing all the T and Gem's got notes.
