Summary
In todays show: Lauren is sporting something brand new on her bum cheek and can’t wait to show Nicole - who is somewhat miffed at the pulling down of the pants live in the studio. We dive into the surprisingly emotional world of waving goodbye and tackle a very important midlife question: does having a Hotmail email address officially make you old, or should we all proudly keep our vintage inboxes and stop apologising for it? This week’s dilemma comes from a hairdresser whose client called for a 90-minute emotional chat and wonders whether the boundary between client and friend has been crossed? Plus, there’s a full meltdown involving throwing up and a listener rant that turns into a full relationship red flag discussion after she takes a new boyfriend out for his birthday and ends up paying for a £100 bottle of wine she didn’t even drink. Expect strong opinions, relatable annoyances and a bit of moral support for anyone navigating tricky boundaries.
