Rein it In with Thom and Dunn

Episode 31 - Dry bathing and a tuning fork

The weeks are flying by—so much so that Dunn completely forgot today was recording day! We're all out of sync with half-term in full swing and teenagers lounging in bed like hospital patients awaiting visitors. Seriously, how are we already at the first half-term break?!
This week, we dive into Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy—a film that takes you on such an emotional rollercoaster, you might need a lie-down afterward. We also ask the big questions:  1. Could you be a lesbian? And, honestly, is anything below the waist actually sexy? 2. Could you get in the bath with all your clothes on because it's meant to help with meditation; with a fork?
We’ve decided it's time to refresh some outdated poolside lingo—because Heavy Petting feels ancient, and while Canoodling is charming, we think we can do better.
Oh, and did you know that 85% of post-menopausal women lose their labia minora? Thom wonders if it’s just gone for a little walk… That leads us down a rabbit hole of nipple talk—specifically, how many you could grow.
Plenty more to chat about, so tune in, have a laugh, and enjoy OUR ride!

Episode 30 - It's all gone to sh*t

🎙 February is Here, and Winter Needs to Piss Off! ❄️
Dunn sets the tone with a brilliant intro, and we’re back for another chaotic, laugh-out-loud episode. We're still laughing, coughing, snorting, sniffing, and yes... farting our way through this podcast—and we’re so grateful you’re here for the ride!
This Week’s Madness Includes:
🔹 Teenagers vs. Babies – We rant about the joys (and horrors) of hormonal teens. Apparently, we know nothing, and our parents didn’t either… except when they called us anything but our first name!
🔹 What We’re Listening To – Some podcast recommendations for those curious about aging healthily—because let’s face it, we all need help staying on track.
🔹 When Things Go to Sh*t – Literally. A day at a restaurant, work experience at a care home, and yes, our podcast barker does his business where he really, really shouldn’t. Brace yourselves for this one!
🔹 Words and Phrases That Drive Us Mad in 2024 – What’s up your nose? Homework is on our BMP list (Big Mad Problems). What’s on yours?
 
Strap in, folks. This week’s episode is a rollercoaster of relatable rants, ridiculous stories, and plenty of laughs. Issues? We’ve got serious ones—and not-so-serious ones.

Episode 29 - I do hover if I sense warmth

🌪️ January Blues, Storms, and Brain Farts: We've Got It All! 🌪️
January feels endless, and the storms aren’t just outside—they’re in the States too! With a president who definitely shouldn’t go off script (ever) and one that really needs to blend that colour!  We’re diving into the chaos of current events, awkward moments, and life’s little... icks
💭 Topics on the Table:
Horking up (yes, we went there) and the delight of wanting to be guntless and arsless.
BMP—because taking your parents or in-laws out for lunch should be stress-free, but overthinking turns it into a food-induced nightmare. Seriously, just don’t eat it then!
The wild world of sanitary ware alternatives. Heated toilet seats—love them or does the thought make you gip?
A sprinkle of Wabi Sabi, embracing imperfection, and some mind-blowing caterpillar facts (trust us, you’ll love it).
Come along for the ride, or don’t, if hot toilet seats make you shudder! But we promise it’s a relatable, laugh-out-loud, and slightly unfiltered look at life.

New Words Alert! We may have accidentally coined “Materbated”—not a real word, but it worked hilariously well in context. Blame it on menopause brain and its ability to turn everyday slip-ups into comedy gold (including roadkill knickers—you’ll have to listen to get that one!). 😆
🎄 Tradition Talk: Thom fires quick Christmas-themed questions at Dunn—do you follow any unusual festive rituals?
🎧 Dive In & Listen Now! Perfect for escaping the holiday chaos—or just laughing through it. We’re your festive getaway when family gatherings get a bit... much. 😉

Episode 26 - The Bleagh of Doom

🎧 Listen Now!It's Latin for Membrum Virile,  it's not just a slang word!  Can you resist the urge to glance at that one friend who always gets the same rude thoughts as you when certain words are mentioned?  - It's not possible - don't find me
In this episode, Dunn gets sweaty and picks up two new words (educational and entertaining, right?). Meanwhile, Thom channels her inner Scrooge but discovers there’s a flicker of festive spirit left, thanks to an advent calendar.
We dive into the latest trends, including intentional cluttering (yes, it’s a thing!), and wonder if a school kid told their careers officer they wanted to make pretend mushrooms for a living. Inspiring!  Dunn gets a new shed and promises to light it up! Shag Manor
💡 Learn a new meaning. Laugh along. And prepare to sit on the EDGE' of your seat!

Episode 25 - Dunn and Dunner - Let's do this

Alright, here we go! We invited our very first guest—a loyal listener and friend of the show—and things were going great... until our recording device decided to give up on us.

Welcome to Episode 21! 🎙️ This week, we're diving into the big questions: What’s your favourite snack, and what's your favourite name for boobs? Is "MILF" the new "Mofo"? Plus, we tackle the stereotypes about people who work from home. We've got all the conversation starters, along with some fresh words and phrases we’re loving—like Ches-tic-les (Margaret Thatcher had these, FYI). 😏
We also ask: What would we do without Marks & Sparks, the great British institution? And where do you stand on tech? Are you embracing the digital age or still clinging to your Filofax and family calendar? 📅 Thom just doesn't get the obsession with stationery, but hey, each to their own!
As we head towards old age, we’re determined not to be boomers. 🙅‍♀️ Does perimenopause have you feeling a little forgetful, or is it the grind of your monthly cycle leaving you drained?

If someone dares to put up a "Live, Laugh, Love" sign, we have way better suggestions. Plus, seashells and lighthouses in a coastal Cottage!
We also tackle "Jude" and some... front-bum issues, reminisce about our night out and 90's tunes whilst afternoon drinking, and debate what to do with ashes. Oh, and having family photos in your bedroom? Super weird!
