Don’t Laugh But...

Beliefs

This week we throw caution to the stinky wind and discuss the potentially polarizing subject of beliefs - from Rebecca’s childhood belief that she was a star of a TV show where viewers could see her farts, to Kirsty’s conviction that God would love a roast potato. Covered with equal moronic incompetence are questions of fate, aliens, God, politics, conspiracy theories, freewill, astrology and past lives. The only issue actually settled is a mutually agreeable solution to the vital ‘aitch/haitch’ debate.

 

Clothes

This week we talk clothing, discussing everything from puffer jackets looking like bin bags to the stress of  changing in shops with the curtain and mirrors of shame;  from actively ignoring the advice for dressing for your body shape to whether it's ever possible to look sexy in a cardigan; and ultimately agreeing that if we can find a clean pair of knickers in the morning, we're winning at life.

Failure

This week we tackle head-on the familiar beast that is failure - from exams to over-enthusiastic eyebrow maintenance, from driving tests to epic cookery fails leading to grisly (or should that be grizzly?) birthday cakes, from parental guilt to weeing yourself in Iceland, we've all been there (well maybe not that last one). Failure is a part of life, so do you keep picking yourself up and trying again or at some point do you say, 'do you know what, this isn't my thing but I managed to get out of bed this morning and that makes me a winner.'

(In keeping with the title of the show Rebecca's microphone failed, so apologies for the less than perfect sound on this one - we'll have it sorted by next week.)

The Gym

This week we go, reluctantly, to the gym and flap our bits at others in the changing rooms before leaving a sweaty triangle on all the gym equipment, farting in the yoga class and peeing in the pool. Come join us. It might not sound appealing but we promise you’ll feel better afterwards.

Ageing

Ageing - something to detest and delay as long as possible or something to embrace and value? Rebecca and Kirsty verbally meander through the good and bad of ageing, from saggy boobs and loneliness to the joy of an early night and streaking through the house when you've forgotten your pants. If nothing else they ultimately prove that the wrinkles and grey hairs don’t matter, as stupidity is ageless.

Questions

This week we take a break from the very in-depth discussions we normally have (!) and instead answer random questions which send us on a conversational journey from Descartes to floating ribs to accidental sexting and cakes that provide their own fluids.

Social Media

Rebecca and Kirsty take a 'stroll' through the good and bad that make up social media; including Kirsty's relief that you're no longer shown actual holiday photos but instead can click 'like' and pretend to have seen them,  the horror that is the 'friendaversary' and Rebecca's worry that if she ever goes missing she'll never be found as all her heavily filtered photos look nothing like her .

Movies

Kirsty and Rebecca twatter on about the films that excite us, scare us, stay with us, make you laugh and cry and how zombies don't care if you wet yourself. Also includes an uncanny, if disturbing, Morgan Freeman impression. Enjoy.

Future

In possibly the most ill-informed podcast ever, Rebecca and Kirsty explore The future and their futures. Topics (poorly) covered include potato teleportation, not allowing robots to see the film Terminator and whether Kirsty's mispronunciation of 'everything' will ever change.

Supermarkets

...with a healthy side-helping of roast potatoes. Kirsty and Rebecca discuss the wonderful world of supermarkets, covering such weighty issues as basket Vs trolley, over-optimistic fruit-buying and what to do when you've already said hello to an acquaintance in the first aisle and meet up again in aisle 8.
