    While Abbie relishes a Saturday night at home Melissa’s highlight is the daily Wordle.

    A guilt ridden concert but what a show!

    Sweet and Sour January

    Sweet and Sour January

    We took our microphone Phallic Phil on a road trip to the beautiful Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. 

    He enjoyed some salty air while he recorded a long and overdue podcast from your favourite friends in their 40’s.

    Therapy with Phil

    Therapy with Phil

    We’ve been working hard lately with our heads down and bums up at Greater SA but we took some time out and hooked up our beloved microphone Phallic Phil. It reminded us how much we like talking shit and having a good belly laugh! It’s our therapy. 
    Abbie caught up with Darren Scholz, aka Sholzy who is on an ‘adventure’ down a road he didn’t choose to travel as he begins treatment for prostate cancer. He and his wife Carolyn are now on a quest to spread awareness and save men’s lives! 
    As always, there’s a few swear words, background noise (this time grain trucks) and a discovery that a bird in the bush is actually more worthy that two in the hand because - poo.

    Making SA Greater and calling BS on the moon landing.

    Making SA Greater and calling BS on the moon landing.

    Like the Apollo Missions, we’ve launched ourselves into a whole new world and plan on making SA even Greater. 
    Speaking of launches, and landings….. it got us thinking about the moon and we’re calling BS. Did Neil really take the first step for man and the second step for man kind?

    Bali Bali Baaaaaali and a grumpy bitch

    Bali Bali Baaaaaali and a grumpy bitch

    It’s been a long time, but Abbie finally got back to Bali - her happy place. In this week’s episode she shares her latest jaunt hosting “A Real Treat” and their incredible experiences. 

    The only thing she missed while she was in Bali was Melissa, who refused to sweat bullets into plus sized undies for some zen and cocktails. She is a grumpy bitch this week so maybe she should have gone.  

    For more info about Abbie’s retreats check out the links below.

    Taryn Brumfitt v Paleo Pete and call in Sid the Seagull because tanning is back!

    This is the bit where I write something interesting to lure you in to download our lastest ep. But it’s term 1…. We’ve hit the ground running so I’m a bit brain dead but here goes…..
    Abbie wrote some awesome shit she’s passionate about. I (Melissa) proclaim that I will start mediating everyday and haven’t started yet. We celebrate Taryn Brumfitt and tell Paleo Pete to shove his latest wellness retreat up his activated almond shaped arse. PLUS  stop trying to get a tan…. The safest tan is in a can my friends. Mumma Grylls shares her interesting sometimes useful mostly useless fun facts for life plus a whole heap more. There’s swearing, there’s laughing, there’s dumb old molls talking about what dumb old molls like you talk about! What more could you possibly want from a podcast?

    Holidays, Mumma Grylls, and all things Aussie.

    Holidays, Mumma Grylls, and all things Aussie.

    Welcome to Season 3! We’re so glad to be back! 

    This week we channel our love for Australiana and aussie slang as well as recount our holiday venture at the Fleurieu Peninsula in SA. 

    Mumma Grylls - Aka - “our mate Belinda”  is all kinds of magical and she shares some of her life hacks and savviness to help keep us up to date with how to bag a bargain while we simultaneously refurbish, reuse, recycle
    and reinvent… she’s the Rambo girl guide that every woman needs in her life. 

    We also share our “Bobby Dazzlers” and “Barry Crockers” from the past couple of months.

    Goats in boats and no more secret women’s business.

    Goats in boats and no more secret women’s business.

    We caught up with Terissa Angel, a goat wrangling farmer who, with her husband Daniel, is battling the flood on their property situated at “the back of Bourke”. A fascinating insight to station life.

    This week we launched our online private Facebook group “Not so secret women’s business” - a safe place to share, connect and keep shit real, as we trawl our way through our middle ages. There’s nothing better than the words of wisdom and the supportive  ear of women who are experiencing, or have experienced what we live on a daily basis.

    We also touch on the perils of on line dating and a few hot topics of the week.  And as always, we laugh like dickheads at our own jokes.
