Let Her Finish

We take a deep dive into patriarchal standards and explore how, far too often, the choices of women and girls are scrutinised more harshly than those of the perpetrators. It’s not about what they wore, what time they were out, or who they were talking to. Women and girls are entitled to live free, safe and happy lives. Gender should never determine one’s access to safety. We also put Jacinda Ardern’s famous ‘six teaspoons of Milo’ to the test - with surprising results. There’s a confronting moment as we revisit some of our worst Facebook statuses. WHO WERE WE? And should Caitlin change her emergency contact to her boyfriend? We put him to the test...

The girls are back and in the same room together, which, as usual, means an added layer of hecticness. Gracie petitions to bring back the lanyard (though we’re not entirely sure it ever left?!).

This week, we're all about the Grammys, and we discuss a potential new appreciation for one of the world's most offensive words. We dive into a bizarre news story about a woman who used a gassy revenge tactic on her boyfriend’s ex. And we debate whether a sandwich should be called a ‘sambo’ or a ‘sando,’ question the underwhelming nature of pears, and ponder whether we’d rather spend six weeks in prison or eat 12 live spiders. It’s all a little silly... *Even by our standards, this episode comes with an extra strong language warning!* Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So we have a new segment and it's called "I've been thinking" and we hit the ground running with seagulls (Brodie thinks they're misunderstood).

We potentially get way too passionate about fabric softener. When is a Father not a Father? Well, we actually don’t know because you don’t come to us for our religious expertise.

Gracie left some "items" at her naughty night away hotel stay and can't bring herself to collect them.

Ok there's also a little grump about what we may see come out of the U.S too... THEN IT'S ALL HAPPY DAYS FROM THERE! Are we officially in the silly season? But also, who's getting amped up for festi season? We debate the merit of the humble jandal. We agonise over why we get rid of hair on some parts of our bodies only for it to sprout in other places.
