It’s time for the second part of our annual round up! Today, we’re going through everything that happened in the second half of 2024 in our lives and in the world of news and pop culture!
This half of the year bought an ICONIC pole vaulting incident at the Olympics, a Labour general election win and the end of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury.
We discuss celebrities vocalising their boundaries, the Blake Lively controversy, and how you guys - our lovely listeners - helped us through a year that was at times *turbulent*… WE LOVE YOU!

Welcome to our annual round up! Have we done enough of these to call it annual now? We think so!
In today’s episode - we’re taking you through our biggest news, pop culture and personal moments from Q1 and Q2 of 2024.

We also dive into our Google search histories… and it’s *very* revealing.

Today, we’re going to talk about Alex’s IVF story.
After watching the new Netflix film JOY - Al was inspired to speak about her journey to having IVF, after having felt like it wasn’t something she was able to discuss online.
We go through the entire journey that has led to Tommy being with us here today - and we hope this conversation is helpful for anyone else who is experiencing something similar or who might not understand the complexity of IVF - and how amazing that it is that science enables us to do this.

After Al revealed she has *romantic feelings* for Shrek - we decided to ask you guys about your cartoon crushes… and be warned - they get a little freaky.
Can you have a crush on a candle? Could you be in a long term relationship with Aladdin? Is the Beast as Beastly as he seems?
We also segue into hypothetical wishes, a hilarious childhood prank and Hugh Grant’s hatred of backpacks.

Faye Winter appeared on Love Island in 2021 and when she left the villa she was faced with a lot of noise and a lot of criticism. In this episode, Faye chats candidly about seeing herself in a different light, admitting she was wrong, and how she apologised and is working towards becoming a better person.
Faye tells us about her desire to live a normal life after appearing on the show - but how some people can perceive that as a failure, and how the choices that influencers make are dictated and driven by their audience engagement.
We also have a candid chat about Faye’s experience with filler - and how it is unregulated in the UK. Faye shares a horror story about botox and explains why she’s so vocal about the topic now.
Thanks so much to Hinge for sponsoring this episode. The dating app, which is designed to be deleted, inspires daters to take it slow this holiday season and reflect on the learnings from the past year. As we near the end of 2024, it’s the perfect time for a profile refresh demonstrating the person you’ve grown into this year and creating New Year’s intentions #HingePartner AD

Lucky you - it’s another episode featuring husky Alex!
It’s all been A LOT lately, so in this week's IIJM we lift the lid onto how much we’re literally hanging on by a thread.
We’ve been working hard getting our body image series ready for the new year - so today we have a chat about putting pressure on ourselves, our organisational styles and how we cope working so closely together. It turns into a bit of a therapy session...
We have an awkward all the way from Cape Town, a deep chat about animal hybrids and we ponder how far the human species would have got if it was made up of only Als and Ems (spoiler alert: probably not far)

Silly season is upon us - and a lot of us associate Christmas with drinking. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way.
Today - we’re speaking to Millie Gooch, the founder of Sober Girl Society - the largest community for sober and sober curious women on the planet. Millie tells us the story of how and why she stopped drinking and gives us some practical advice on how we can navigate Christmas if we’re trying to stay sober, become sober or even just explore more sober experiences.
Find out more about The Sober Girl Society’s events and workshops here: https://sobergirlsociety.com/
Millie's new book, Booze Less, provides a mindful guide to sobriety and personal growth, designed to help readers rethink their relationship with alcohol while practicing self-compassion. Millie would love to share insights from Booze Less with your audience, discussing practical ways to approach sobriety and mindfulness, and offering her perspective on wellness trends and the cultural shift around drinking habits.

Al has a sore throat so this week’s Is It Just Me gets a little sexy… you have been warned!
Today, we discuss why people might fancy Shrek - and we're also going to break down some movie magic for you.
Then, things get a little more serious because we also dive in to our personal reasoning for not sharing our children online and we discuss some of the judgement placed on parents and how we find out what works for us personally.

Ellie was a 21 year old university student in a long term relationship - then she found out she was HIV positive after taking a home STI test - and her life changed… and in her opinion, it might have been for the better.
Ellie is incredibly inspiring and she is a force for change - she tells us her story and how it drove her to become an activist, raising awareness and breaking the harmful misconceptions a lot of us hold about HIV.
Be prepared to be blown away - Ellie is an amazing person and you are going to love this interview.

It’s time to get topical!
The highly anticipated Wicked film came out this week and guess what… we weren’t invited to the premiere (unlike the rest of Instagram!) We also get serious about the body shaming we’ve seen in the media around Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Why do people feel like it’s okay to talk about their bodies and why are we so reductive when it comes to women?
We also discuss camel anatomy, I’m A Celeb and the love of Em’s life… Hugh Jackman.

We’re feeling *tousled* for today’s Is It Just Me!
Join Em and Al for a mini spelling bee and a *very* high-brow discussion about Naked Attraction and the Netflix show that everyone is talking about… Rivals. Is the world ready for a David Tennant sex scene? And do we all have a crush on Danny Dyer now?

Have you ever heard a non-confrontational confrontation with a Just Stop Oil activist? Today we’re speaking to Gill Tavner. She’s a Just Stop Oil campaigner - but perhaps doesn’t fit the image that the media might paint you of one.
Gill was one of the warmest and most lovely people that we’ve spoken to on the podcast. She also has a criminal conviction - for walking in the road as part of a Just Stop Oil slow march.
She tells us how her activism was inspired by increasing desperation and anger about her daughters’ futures and she explains in simple, accessible and clear terms what Just Stop Oil is demanding - and it might not be as extreme as you think.
We know that climate anxiety is a real thing - and we know sometimes it can be easy to avoid difficult conversations about climate change. But Gill makes the conversation digestible and understandable - and she might just make you want to take action.

It’s time for some listener lols! We’ve got LOADS of your awkwards for you this week - and boy, are they awkward…

We also have a cringe sauna incident to tell you about… and Em spills the beans on what happened when she got the call from Love Island. And guess what... Alex has some huge news - she’s made a friend!

Even though we have babies - it turns out, we don’t know *that* much about giving birth. So, today on the podcast - we’re talking to Mamadinya… the internet’s favourite’s midwife.
Mamadinya came to the studio to answer everything you’ve always wanted to ask a midwife. What happens if you poo in a birthing pool? If you want to take your placenta home - do they give it to you in a bag? What happens during birth if you have hemorrhoids?
Whether you have kids, want kids, are unsure, or if you're certain they're not for you - Mamadinya throws open the door onto something that most of us probably should know more about. If you're curious about life - this episode is for you.

As you all know - we’ve got no HR department… which is why today we’re doing a live exit interview with the legendary Daisy Grant!
Daisy has left the team after two and a half years, she’s moved to Wales to live an idyllic life with her fiance, who you all know, is also called Daisy.
She’s been here since the beginning, so today we say an emotional goodbye and we remember some of our favourite moments together - and we look forward to the future of the podcast with our expanded team.

It’s one of those episodes where we dive into a TikTok curiosity hole - and we end up learning something quite profound on the way. It turns out cleaning is about a lot more than just mess...
Today, we’re speaking to Vicki - who is a biohazard cleaning specialist. You might know her from her TikTok videos - where she shows us what she does for a living - cleaning hoarder houses, crime scenes and anything which involves bodily fluids.
We explore the mental health reasons why someone might become a hoarder, how Vicki copes with the mental strain of her job - and why she choses to use her TikTok income to finance free cleans for those in need.

It's been a very big week on the internet - so we're bringing you a topical episode to reflect on three topics that have felt particularly important for us.
Firstly - take a look at the internet's reaction to the tragic news of Liam Payne's death. The noise on the internet around this topic has felt extraordinarily loud this week - so we discuss the cycle of trolling and tragedy that we have seen play out so many times and how we're feeling about it.
Then, it's time to go back in time because the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back. Have we just taken a massive step back in terms of our collective relationship with body image, or is this a reinvention that was desperately needed?
And talking about society's obsession with thinness - we also chat about the government's conversation about Ozempic as a tool to get people back into the workforce.
In the new year, we will be releasing a series on the podcast dissecting our relationship with body image. If there's something you want us to cover or is if there something you want to tell us: you can email us on [email protected]!

We have our first Dame on the podcast! The incredible Dame Kelly Holmes joins Em and Alex this week for a honest and vulnerable chat about mental health, motivation and ageing.
Dame Kelly tells us about how her incredible story started when a PE teacher told her she could be good at something - and then, how watching the Olympics inspired a twenty-year long dream of becoming Olympic Champion.
She tells us how she became a world class athlete whilst serving in the Army - and how she defied those who wrote her off because of her age to achieve her dreams, and then why she chose to speak out about the mental health struggles she dealt with during her career.
Where does she find her motivation? How do athletes deal with being put on a pedestal? And more importantly…. how do you ACTUALLY get into the Olympics?
