It's a BONUUUUUUUUUS! We ask each other some BIG questions like 'what's your favourite film?', 'what's your favourite book' and 'what's your life motto'. DEEP. There's a lot of giggling in this one. Right, kids "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think." Over and out for Season 2! Love Keeks and Char x See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It's the final episode of the season! Sorry how quickly has that gone? To wrap up season 2, Char and Keeks talk L-O-V-E. Char drops a bomb about Lesley's love life and we chat about what being in love actually is. Is it compromise or is it licking someone's footbottom?Thank you so much for listening this season!We'll be back very soon! x See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
If you don't care about Charlotte's grouting dramas OR Ben and Jen's reunion – start this episode 7 minutes in! After all that boring chat about bathrooms, Char and Keeks get into talking about grandchildren. Mauva, grandmother of five, says that Keeks would be 'the perfect mum'. Les, grandmother of zero, doesn't 'crave' grandkids but thinks Char's offspring would be 'really great!' Cuties. Weirdly, Char still cannot understand family trees... PLUS, a surprise appearance from podcaster producer Sam's cat. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Existential crisis of a 29 year old is copyrighted to Keeks Reid™️ unfortunately. In this ep Char and Keeks talk music, dancing and Lesley making friends with Jake Bugg.

Les and Mauvs go all Mystic Meg on us and share what they think will go down in 2050. Les focuses on environmental issues, meanwhile Mauvs thinks the future will hold a lot of cruising (the naval variety). There's some real corker predictions in here – including Mauvs' take on the seedless grape debate. If anyone has the answer to how seedless grapes grow PLEASE let us know. Our minds are blown.

First and foremost… JUSTICE FOR TOULOUSE. We learn about Sherry, Lesley's support dog, why Mauvs hates dogs and Char spills about her 6 years as a cat sitter extraordinaire. Plus, Char and Keeks bond over being shat and weed on. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
So this episode title may feel a little, how shall we put it, light-hearted for such a serious subject matter – but as Keeks explains it's 'nice not to be super solemn about it'. In 2020 Mauva had a stroke and in this episode we find out more about the impact it had on Keeks, Mauva and Mr Mauva (aka Richard!). Charlotte chimes in with her usual inappropriate humour (eg. the "different folks, different strokes" comment). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
One of our faves! In this episode we find out what tickles our mum's pickles when it comes to dating! We discover prolific dater Lesley's disdain for men under 5'8" (so brutal!) and Mauva's views on online dating and apps ('I don't want people thinking there's something wrong with you') It's a crazy world out there kids, so stay safe...

WE'RE BAAAAAACK! It's been a while (and a pandemic) but we're back in your ears and asking our mums big COVID-19 questions like 'why did Lesley put tuna in a curry?', 'why are all Mauva's friends from cruises?' and 'why doesn't Char get the fact that Keeks calls everyone older than her Auntie?'. We also pay tribute to Keek's Uncle Leo – gone but not forgotten. We're proud to have season 2 sponsored by Dots for Spots, the number one selling spot treatment on Amazon.
