Maddie and Molly catch up on the weekends activities which included long island iced teas, karaoke and last minute gigs before delving into one of the biggest issues of the day, Dating!

From dating apps, lost licenses and bad dinners we cover it all, including a date that went horribly wrong for Molly when she ended up back at his house in a VERY awkward position. Maddie also shares how she got out of a date, and then ruined it all by posting on social media. And hopefully, we make you feel a little less alone in your dating dilemmas.

Maddie has COVID! So this weeks episode is a bit different with Molly in the studio and Maddie on zoom, so 2020!

They use the time to cringe at Molly’s embarrassing moment at her recent work drinks and expose themselves with other embarrassing stories. Why is it that EVERY girl has an awkward story about getting her period when she didn’t expect it?! And we learn why it pays to pay attention when getting into cars at the supermarket.

We finish off with ick’s and sticks – Mullets and more…

Stay safe and keep kind. Our DM's will be open x

Maddie and Molly catch up on the weekend and how good it is to spend time escaping reality when you stay with your parents.

They also revisit Maddie’s current funk, and give you some tools for getting yourself back on top of life. The most important is recognising it and making sure that you reach out for help, no matter if it’s a light funk or deep funk. If you are going through something you need help with, you can reach out to some of the services we list below.

We finish off with icks and sticks, and you’ll never guess what Molly puts out there as a stick…
