There's the return of snackattack for one night only, a discussion about Claire's impending 53rd birthday and they ask the BIG QUESTION, do you wear undies to bed UNDER your pyjama bottoms?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Claire and Lisa talk about the 10 most useless kitchen gadgets you can own (and how many of them they have), plus there's a follow up about annoying things partners do in the kitchen that could be divorce-worthy. There's a Culture Club bonanza about Lupin Part 2 and why The Underground Railroad is such an important piece of TV, plus why the Younger finale was rubbish. There's also a chat about how to stop procrastinating when it comes to the "hard" things we all have to do (and a way to make them easier), a look at why planning your outfits for the week can lessen the stress of heading back to the office, a top tip for an Aussie beauty brand they love and they ask the question, what DO men talk about at the other end of the table? (They can tell you... and it's not, erm, pretty). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Claire and Lisa talk Lilibet Diana, and how they feel about Harry and Meghan's choice of name for their baby girl. They talk about the tea towel hack for your dishwasher and tell you if it really works. There's also a hack for getting to sleep that involves drinking boiled lettuce, which sounds disgusting, right? There's a big old book fest in Culture Club -- with Claire reading 2 epic novels and one other book just for you. There's the return of Snack Attack for one night only (because, well, chips) and avocados are $1 so Lisa is pretty pumped. Lisa's husband sends her a pass agg text which has them laughing at his cheek but pondering if you're either a soaker or a washer-upper, and they ask, is the key to happiness simply lowering your expectations?

This week Claire and Lisa discuss the show everyone in the world is discussing -- Mare of Easttown. They also talk about the Friends reunion again, and about why Lisa is all about cheese on toast for dinner. There's a chat about passive aggressive emails at work, a discussion about art making you more beautiful and a look at why we're all procrastinating at bedtime. If that wasn't enough, they make themselves laugh about women's lady parts and why no one knows what they're called, they discuss the theory that binging TV shows is making us lonely and finally, they ask the big question, is a hot bath as good for you as going for a run?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
