Rein it In with Thom and Dunn

Welcome to the 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

Episode 33 - take II
What a week it’s been — and what we achieve as women? Honestly, if we printed it all out and handed it to our families, they’d finally understand. (Spoiler: Yes, we still made it to Zumba. Even with a kidney stone. Hardcore.)
We chat: 💥 Hospital visits🎪 Why some scans may require circus performers👩‍👧 Mothering Day with a twist (and a bit of history, served with wine) we'd prefer an activity shooting laser guns🚽 Too much loo roll = an unexpected guest comes into the house and Shag Manor🧠 And what really happens if you let your intrusive thoughts win — hello silence… and a church?
Also featuring a surprise Yorkshire teenager who thinks he's funnier than us. (He’s not. But we let him dream.)
We're a day late, but worth the wait — pop us in your ears and enjoy the madness 💬

Will 2026's popular baby name be… GeVyna?! 🤣🔹 Vaping & RSI – Forget lung issues, could vaping also be a risk for Repetitive Strain Injury?!🔹 Fart Therapy?! – Apparently, sniffing your own gas has health benefits… who knew?🔹 Post-Menopausal & Proud – Dunn got the official verdict from a lovely Scottish doctor—and Thom is extremely jealous she has some years yet🔹 Thom's Dream – She just wants her own house, no mental load, and for someone else to decide what's for tea for once! 🍽️🔹 Throwback to German Report Cards – What teachers could get away with writing back in the day, and why some kids should never attempt an oral exam in a language they clearly don’t speak!

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!

🎙 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.
🎧 Listen Now and let us know your WIDLS and BMP's

🌪️ 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.

This episode is mainly about people, from all different aspects:
The twunts are being cruel on Facebook to our favourite clown.
Their choice in body changes... stop overthinking it! Who on earth wants to change from a thin to a thick labia?
Yes, Augmentation volumisation of your labia is a thing!
Can we just go back to bigger eyebrows instead?
We also hear about:
Dunn’s, Dr. Smooth, and her horrible heartburn exploits.
And let’s be honest, who wanted to get jiggy over Christmas when there’s still cheese in the fridge? 🧀Delve in—it's all fun when you're just trying to figure out where you can lay your head!New Year bollocks - we must stop scrolling
Go on, laugh with us—you know you really want to!

🎄 The Year is Out—and So Are This Year’s Podcasts! 🎙️
We’ll be back on Thursday, 9th January, a month Thom hates (but honestly, who loves the never-ending stretch of January?)
Right now, we’re Christmas deep, so go ahead—eat what you like! Yorkshire Puddings with Christmas dinner? Just have them! Are you a finesse foodie or a blobber and dumper when it comes to festive feasts? 🍽️
This week, we tackle:🎬 Christmas Traditions – Is it the whole movie or just that scene that makes it magical?🎁 Best Gifts – Dunn breaks down a list of “top” gifts from a well-known paper—and let’s just say, it’s not all it’s “fish-shaped lemon squeezed” up to be! 🐟🍋
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. 😉

🎧 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!

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. Classic Thom move - what a dick 🤦‍♂️ But don't worry, we managed to claw it back, and we think we've still captured all the chaos and hilarity!
In this episode, you'll find our hideously funny take on "Mr and Mrs," some all-too-relatable train travel woes; it is coming up to Christmas for goodness sake...and our general conversation just shows how some people just sound better on tape... ok recordings... 🤔
Plus, with a few fun facts from Mrs Dunn, it’s another perfectly blunderful episode for you to enjoy! 🎙️😂

Welcome to our spooky episode, where we share some cringe-worthy jokes (you're welcome) and fascinating ghoul facts, including a bizarre tale from Dunn about bloodthirsty butterflies! 🦋 We dive into weird snacks, pointless biscuits, and why doing voiceovers might be our next gig. Oh, and a naughty Muppet named Desmond who’ll give you more than a finger infection!
We also chat about dreamy states, love, and whether your height makes you assertive (not gobby) in a crowded room. 👻. I say, Love... Thom dislikes to be called Love; unless you're a butcher or an old man with big ears!
Tune in for laughs, strange facts, and unexpected treats! mwahhhhhhh🎃👻🕸️🧛‍♂️🧟‍♀️

Thom's howling with laughter this week, while Dunn's losing her cool over Thorful's handcrafted, playful, and luxurious seasonal shenanigans. Yes, it's a mouthful, but Dunn's got plenty to say about knitted mushrooms and orange throws! 🎃🍂
Meanwhile, the hound has been barking non-stop, leaving us to wonder if removing his voice box might be a little too extreme... but oh, the peace it would bring! 🐕🔊
In this episode, we're diving into all things that shouldn't be taboo... period! and sharing some hilarious podcast stories we've discovered this week. As the spooky season creeps in, we’re getting those spiders out of the loft and leaving buckets of water for the postmen and women to bob for apples – because why not? 🍏💦
Also on the agenda: Toad… no, Thom,  3-toed sloth!  Dunn’s bizarre audition experience...Thrutch face, and a chat about all those quirky things you secretly love but know are a bit weird.
And of course, tune in for our binge-watch TV recommendations – because what's life without a good show to get obsessed with?
Join us for a fun, cheeky episode full of random hilarity!  I think Thom may now be over it
