Rein it In with Thom and Dunn

It's a warm June morning here in Shag Manor, and we've got all the good topics lined up, including the burning new question of Fairy porn. Yes, you read that right. And no, that's not hot. If you were single, would you? Have you ever spotted someone in the supermarket you really don't want to talk to and committed to full evasive manoeuvres until the next aisle, gives you up ? Or deliberately not answered your own front door, because you simply do not have half an hour of small talk in you today? Just Thom then! Dr Dunn is out in force with not one but three medical facts that'll hurt your brain. Don't tell your brain you've got eyes. If you've been watching Clarkson's Farm, we get into snails. Who knew snails were a topic? SEEERUM Then it's back into Break a Take, where Dunn treats us to her finest impressions of UK accents across a whole storyboard of helpful hints and tips. Are they helpful? Are they tips? Unclear. Thom likes at least one of them, so thanks for that, Mark. And we dig out some glorious phrases from the 80s, the ones your parents trotted out to say one thing while very much meaning another. "How's your father?" Well, you've put me right off.Plug in and don't miss out

We’re right in it this week, Episode 48! Nearly two years of recording our podcast… time really does fly when you’re laughing together! 👻 Halloween chat: Are you a blackout blinds and no sweets type, or do you welcome the little witches with open arms? (Costumes are compulsory if you want treats!) 👖 Then there’s the big question: Why do we all hide our pants at the doctor’s when we know we’ll be told to de-robe anyway? Thom thinks there should be a new form:“Are you arsed or not arsed about your modesty?” Tick one. 🧦 Are you a sock-on or sock-off person? Dunn finds it weird. Thom takes them to the bin if they have animated characters on them. (We’ll let you decide who’s ick here.) 🎃 Thom went to a pumpkin patch and howled, no, not wolf-like, at the people in inappropriate footwear. Because clearly, ruining your shoes in a muddy field is a small price to pay for looking good for your photos on socials! 🍜 Crotch pot? No, Thom hadn’t heard of it either… and yes, she got it very wrong at first. Dunn tells the story of this “great invention”, noodles may be involved. ❤️‍🔥 Dunn tells us that STDs are on the rise among women in their 50s — are we surprised? We discuss! 💃 And of course, we take a punt at who we think will replace Tess and Claudia on Strictly. 🤡 Mr Blobby divides the room, and Dunn swears the air smells like a primary school's “fart and crayons” was the quote.A new word and a few BMPs chucked in for good measure. No, it's up to parents, too, to call! So come along for the ride — because the last segment of this week’s episode is truly hilarious. - How to declutter as suggested in House Beautiful (We nearly died laughing… you’ve been warned!)

Ever wake up with a million tabs open in your brain and instantly want to pull the duvet back over your head? Yeah, same here. This episode dives into those weird morning thoughts and how life rarely goes to plan. Dunn is back with sharp insights and a wooden spoon: The questionable things some relatives do... Bizarre daily habits we all pretend are normal Why cannonballs should never appear where they don’t belong And: when is too embarrassing actually time for the doctor? We also ask:🏠 Do your older parents still live by very traditional gender roles — and can they change in 2025?🐶 What’s the best name for your pet: classic, modern, or human? (Just don’t yell “Waffle!” in the park...)🇧🇷 A big thank you to our Brazilian listeners! Hopefully, we're either educating you or just deeply confusing you. Plus:🔬 A nod to the Dunning-Kruger effect — still painfully relevant 25 years later🍿 Why Dr. Evil might be more current than ever👃 Belly buttons, wooden spoons & the odd power move with saggy elbows from Dunn💇‍♀️ That awkward moment you wait way too long to sip your drink at the hairdressers😳 Piercings in places that make you want to look away... fast🛶 Little man in the boat rows fast & whether eating a Crunchie could give you wind🪞Which mirror would you actually feel OK standing naked in front of? Expect a few laughs, some unexpected facts, and the usual round-up of our favourite TV & Instagram picks.

🎙️ New Episode Alert! This week, we’re chatting about all things kids, back to school, eye ops, random illnesses, and family dramas that nobody plans for. We dive into hormones (the gift that keeps on giving): brain fog, hair loss, but help with anxiety 🍂 Autumn is NEARLY here, and with it the eternal truth: we’ll never be “hot” again, so why bother with layers?Legwarmers and shellsuits had their moment, and we don't wish for them to return, like ever! and how a knitted two-piece has now ruined the colour purple forever for Dunn. We’ve got TV talk, Insta shout-outs to some brilliant people, and a good moan that back in our day, Constance Carrol was as good as it got — no makeup tutorials, no fancy palettes. And if leggings and tabards become everyday fashion… well, send help. 👉 Tune in for laughs, a bit of nostalgia, and a whole lot of honesty, as always - open and discusting; we mean discussing #PodcastLife #Relatable #HormonesAndHumour #BackToSchool

🎙 New Episode Drop!We’re diving headfirst into the post-menopause pool this week, yep, the things that shouldn’t happen but often do (and what comes next). Dunn’s dishing out the details you probably need to know, while Thom is still deep in peri and mostly just furious with the world – especially this week’s ‘What a Dick’ nominees: the blokes slagging off women’s football.Same sport, different game, lads – and if you keep whinging, women will only get louder, bolder and even less ladylike. (Which, frankly, should’ve been left behind in 1973 along with your opinions.) 👩‍💻 We talk about jobs we absolutely couldn’t do (public-facing ones, we're looking at Thom), and what happens when a woman named Jackie creates a community Facebook group and suddenly becomes a local dictator - admin role Thom overthinks gone off chicken in the fridge - thinking at 3am is not good, and never act on it! 💩 There’s also a poo story. It involves being caught short, covering your shame with leaves, and a Zumba class that no priest should ever listen to! Do you remember the Flumps! 🩺 Thom shares a painfully relatable tale of dragging your parents to a hundred appointments.👀 And Dunn might have a talking V'JJ! 👂 Ears open, eyes wide – we're on YouTube now so you can watch the chaos unfold too.

Where does that nostalgic scent take you?🍑 Also, apparently bum hole readings are a thing now. Palm readings are so 2020.
