DIlligaf - a great new word we know you'll useWe're back from holidays and we've had two very different experiences... One got hurt and took their knickers off, and the other dragged herself around like a letdown lilo while having a moment in a church...
Nudist beaches and balls, and how googly eyes could help.. . burnt boobs and dangly bits, have you ever been naked on a beach, or with your family?!  Mango, mango, banana, banana...
Saturday jobs, were so important unless you had to steam-clean kilts!  and stop watching TikTok it's full of stuff you really shouldn't put on your face!
Open us up and learn something new about pigs' orgasms - they go on for a long time, and I'm not sure we'd fit them in!  And hold onto your tongue, it's a funny ride - Episode 19

Get the tissues out - it's a fun one, tears have rolled lips have gotten sweaty and the "hummidititties" are on fire.  This week we touch (well not touch) on the word Crevice or is it Crevasse!  Either way, we use it a lot; when would you say it?  Dunn wants to know if it is best to keep biting down on one of her compulsions for entertaining a room and we discuss, what's the best type of swearing, what's your opinion, and how words need depth and feeling.
How someone loses an inch for the Olympics and what you get from watching sports and such passionate and inspiring people - we do talk seriously sometimes, but no more than 15 minutes says, Thom!  We're also back with Customer Service and if you like talking to a man type called Ben, where the chit chat can become a bit sales'y and mansplain'y and how you have to listen to get what you want in the long run!How is it that your a-hole is created first and how amazing nature is and how we could adapt it in real-life scenarios - listen, learn, and laugh, because this week, it's proper funny!*Episode 19 will be recorded on 22nd August due to holidays

In this week's episode, we dive into a variety of topics. discussing the importance of touch, from the diseases of kissing to the amusing attempts at self-suction, and even the urgency of getting a bra fitting if you haven't since you were 16—seriously, get measured!
We laugh about Gen X's notorious thumbing, and feature Dunn's quirky thumb trick. Dr Dunn is also back in the room with plenty to think about; or throw up over!
As many of us approach our 50s, we reflect on life changes and the looming reality of retirement - I don't think we will!
Our "WIDL of the Week" segment highlights something incredibly Greazzy, Literally, and we have fun saying our favourite word backwards with an Irish lilt
On a more serious note, we explore incorporating weights into your Pilates routine, dealing with a saggy cleavage, and chat about potentially becoming Customer Service reps for EasyJet. Plus, we create a character that would scare any moaning C't!
Join us for a blend of humour, candid discussions, and practical advice on navigating life's unique challenges  - you're welcome!
 
Happy listening

Did you vote? Have you had any tweatments? Maybe Botox isn't your friend!  By the way, what's your favourite word for hinting that you're feeling a bit fruity? It's a weird one, and trying to find a less cringy term just makes it even funnier. We look at what's been happening in the news with all the detective dumbasses and Inspector Clueless types creating a Sherlock shitshow on Facebook.  Do you know how easy it is to teach a person English?  Listen to Dunn's really simple idea!
Please, can the 'On Hold' music at doctors' surgeries change to something better? How about giving us a choice of comedians instead of the hideous repetitive tunes with Care navigator's voices of doom telling us our place in the queue?  How the reception staff triage issues like your fanny falling out, and how they are probably more important than a midge bite!
We've concluded that some people will always be invited to the top deck of the boat, while we'll be asked to stay below. We'll never be posh enough!
We reminisce about the slang words we used in the 80s  'chinny' that our kids wouldn't understand in 2024. Then, we look at the new and trending slang words now used by our kids that seem far too longGet shagged

We're diving into our next episode with the excitement of a 'Wordle' puzzle, and you can catch a sneak peek of our Snail Tale on our Instagram page, "Rein it in with Thom and Dunn." Who comes up with these ideas, and does it actually improve your skin? Dunn really needs to stop binge-watching and start engaging more actively – it's not healthy when you can't remember if you've been or not. And let's set the record straight: "SHE DOES NOT SWEAT ON THE TOILET SEAT."
"Pisstified" is our latest WIDL (word I DO like)  but spit isn't! Seriously, who has a perfectly straight pubic hairline like a fringe, elfin cut, or bob? Fashion is all about personal expression, so wear what you love and only worry if you don't find yourself amusing! There's nothing wrong with a quiff hairdo and baseball boots – it's a part of who you are.
Tune in again, and you might discover something new and useful this time! Play around with spoonerisms – you don't have to be in the room to visualise this episode - enjoy

DUNN Reveals a new word; well it wasn't new to Thom, even her kids know this one!    You may cringe at this episode... items discussed will be relatable to every single woman in every household,  even our bloke listeners may laugh at the audacity!  However, we push on with the possibilities of feeling like you're losing an organ and naming the things that you have to improvise on when out for a walk with your dog!  Why crusty baps can hurt the top of your mouth but adding Lurpak to anything, then you're anyone's.  With our knack for improving signage and product notices, it's evident that we're the ones you need on your team! From advising on what not to do to MORE CLEAR signage, and the best brands, we've got you covered. Let's make your message shine! 
Plus, we share hot girl summer tips from TikTok and Dunn's ingenious solutions for blokes with burnt legs. Dive in and join the fun - but maybe keep your hand ready to cover your eyes (or mouth) GASP!  Poor Jean

In this episode, there's a ton to learn and laugh about, where does she search to get her information? Picture skidding down a church hall, trying to keep the vicar from hearing about a "mother fudder." Remember the mantra: Space, Place, Face! We'll also chat about the pure joy of hanging washing on the line—because who can handle those fancy colourful socks or tasteless pegs?
Dive into the bizarre world of sea urchin anatomy and discover why holding in your farts might just give you bad breath. Expect plenty of laughs along the way, and maybe even consider joining a Zumba crew. And let's not forget the injustice of mocking someone who sounds like they're talking in "Fanny Farts!"
Catch up on all the fun phrases we love to use... more tea, vicar!  and the best bit of advice received from the lady who gave out something for the first night of marriage! Ouch

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!

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
