Rein it In with Thom and Dunn

Welcome to the new-ish Podcast where two women living in Leeds who are in the peak time of life try and navigate it one laugh at a time! Chewing the fat, concluding that life is too short for being good and having serious conversations, so grab your comfy pants, a snack that deserves the name, and join us as we giggle our way through the chaos of menopause, being pissed off (BMP), the things we now find funny and the knobheads of life. Who knew adulting would involve so much confusion and so little applause? Cheers to laughter, good company, and the hope that one day we’ll figure out what ’adulting’ actually means!” 🎙️ Fortnightly episodes - Find us on Instagram

Now don't be deterred by the title, it's just some of the things we talk about; double-barrelled surnames are important to some people!    We've reminisced right the way back to Monkey Magic, Jean Claude Van Damn, and Chocolate pancakes from a Starsky and Hutch annual!  It does make us crawl back through the history books of Shaws, Dandelion, and Burdock (Murdoch's cousin), and the disgusting 80's throwback back, or is that throw-up, cream sodas with ice cream... No thanks says Pigsy, I would rather have Monkey whistle me a cloud!Be sure to learn a few things, as we enter and end this episode with some cool facts - HOW FAST, HOW GROSS!Come and enjoy, you know it's like we're right in the room with you eating a 'Chunky' Kitkat!

We've been loving the feedback from our recent episodes – some of you had us in stitches with suggestions like "grandma mother pluckers"!  let's talk about dialing it down a notch, shall we.... err No!  We're here for a good laugh,  a good fart, even in public and we try our best to overdo it with the long "Comings" and the foot-long lunches...  What noise are you scared of.. screaming child or something more closer to the Vestibulars?
We're keeping the banter rolling and the jokes "Coming",.... Let's not shy away from those everyday topics that we know you've all wanted to either talk about or at least, ask questions about, and we're tackling them head-on, even if it means stepping out of our comfort zone... which is? This week, we're sending a shout-out to the amazing tail walkers – keep up the great work, Angels of the North you lovely runner you.

Why does being so exhausted make you a total A Hole? And seriously, where did all the love and fun of the word Smorgasbord disappear to, with the pampas grasses in 1983?
Never be a Dicktim or a Flibbertigibbet, and for the love of all things, be crystal clear about what you watch with a farmer! Remember to vent first... because, you know, sometimes words just have a mind of their own! We're diving into more of those delightful things that BMP, kn*bheads things and people, all while clutching onto our favourite tweezers for dear life. So, slap on those headphones or buckle up for the ride, let's jump back in, and pick up where you left off - Episode 10 is for you, but do grab your Girl Guide Panty liners, yes that's two... it's a funny one, the jokes are good to use this week!

Woo-hoo, alrighty then! Brace yourselves for another rollercoaster of an episode! Dunn and Thom are on fire, and let's just say, it's anything but tame. Thom is channeling her inner Zen, attempting to rein in the chaos (Socks and Crocs included), but hey, we all have our moments! Ever heard of ASMR? Strap in as they dive into the weird and wonderful world of sensory (it's not bliss), and get ready for another round of Thom's infamous quizzes – do you know what it is?  Let's not forget about those hilarious predictive text fails... From 'Homo Hot Lips' to unconventional kitchen floor cleaning methods, we're covering it all! join the madness, it's the best place to be!* Excuse the small interruptions of a little hairy dog.. we've edited some of the noise, but some were unavoidable - But it's better than the clearing of the throats!

Thursday Mar 14, 2024

Introducing Miss Minge and Miss Growler, two fresh characters for teeny, tiny books aimed at mature audiences (not for kids). This week's storyline is with an array of WIDL words, from "Pustule" to "Flank," and "Bulbous." Vulval Clutch, she could perform a new sitcom, Ooo, Marjora and, Minora! Prepare for Dunn to lose her zoom, through the school parent's interview adventures, and if anyone dares to create another edited picture of Kate and the Kids, Thom might unleash her inner Hulk, and flex in her Farah slacks (pants)  With BMP and the new CAC, the focus remains on embracing new learning opportunities each time, especially for Thom, who's known for being a right Douche-bag - she knows nothing about her own Vulvar!Join us on Instagram, Rein-it-in-with-Thom-and-Dunn

Do you like the new logo?    This week's episode features a quiz on adding a noun to a swear word to give it a less offensive twist! And a question, "Jollup" is it a Yorkshire saying? Whether it is or not, Dunn delves into the creative realm fueled by lack of sleep, concocting marketing strap lines that follow the theme. Remember the term "Sl*g" from the '80s, a label we didn't appreciate from boys who knew little, but what they could do behind the bike shed was always a pleasure? Let's revive it; not behind the bike shed though!
Tune in to this week's episode to learn something new, and be prepared with a tissue if you find our antics hilarious, but it might just be us! 😄🎙️

Thursday Feb 15, 2024

Laughter, cookies, and the unexpected fears that keep life interesting—two quirky reasons and one that might require therapy!  From rusty to grand, and perpetually wet (fart)—yep, that's the eclectic mix that defines our week!
So, let's dish it out—what's been your BMP (Boils my pi**) this week? Let's have a chuckle over the things that tickled our mafanwy in the last fortnight. From pondering why smeg should be glittery to a TikTok tip involving a sock - period, and exploring the kind of gusset no one wants to traffic in!  Spare me the floating bridge and the love of watching The Apprentice. Oh, and is Wendy a standard name for your foof?

Yet another fortnight and another fun podcast, talking all things fun and grim.  What Dunn provides for the birds in her garden...deluxe soft furnishings! Get ready for the tale involving an invitation to witness someone's organ and an encounter with a tightly wound knitting enthusiast faced with a personal request... Wink. If you're familiar with 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,' imagine a thrutch forcing a lingering meatball. Join Thom and Dunn in their banter as they delve into the peculiar world of social media pages belonging to parents with school-age kids, and how certain eyelashes can be mistaken for a wind turbine.    Who wants to be a mix of Miriam, Angela, and Helen as they grow older, not old?

This fortnightly episode is proudly sponsored by (possible ideas) for innovative menopausal advertising companies and the potential for Home Bargains to venture into the realm of Easter-themed adult products!   As we navigate the journey of ageing, we endeavour to instigate passion with our partners and reminisce about the less inhibited days of our younger more exciting years. Reflecting on the unconventional places we once explored, it becomes a lighthearted adventure. Tune in for a dose of amusement while pondering which leather best describes the evolving texture of your menopausal skin, and Dunn has an idea, an intriguing concept 'ripe' for the Dragons' Den. As always, it's all good fun, as you contemplate the identity of your true "fanny friend.

Welcome to Episode 3, where we dive headfirst into a world of laughter! This week, we've covered it all – from Yorkshire Puddings forming new flaps to spotlighting the "knobhead of the week." Join the air fryer gang as we explore the thigh-rubbing secrets. Ever wondered about bulging lips and the camel toe check? We've got new words and helpful tips for those pudgy bits. Let's navigate through words that make you cringe and the power to do things your way, finding joy in the process whilst singing Good King Wenslysis

This episode covers a range of topics including Willy (or is it Billy) Wind and Roger. We delved into the significance of names and explored the often-overlooked aspect of peri-menopause. In this Christmas edition, we aim to impart some knowledge and shed light on the fact that the holiday season isn't always all fun and laughter. From the disparity between Christmas expectations and reality to discussions about the iconic figure with long hair who kickstarted these festivities—no, not Santa—Dunn and Thom share their contrasting views.   While Dunn is enthusiastic about it all, Thom holds a differing opinion, (Thom is a crank) asserting that Christmas can be stressful. Nevertheless, we encourage you to seek out the fun. Click on to join us for Episode 2 and stay engaged in the conversation; Listen out for the pussy, the Queef (not Quiff), and the quim - no boat in site!
