Like all of us, she's spent her twenties & early thirties being bombarded with lousy advice in all forms, from 30 second TikToks of self-appointed life coaches about how breathwork cured their athletes foot, friends-of-friends in the pub that SWEAR their sister's cousin's big toe managed to get their ex back through reiki, magazine's that have told her if she just got her calves to be 2cm smaller she'd definitely end up getting inundated with roses on Hinge. So assisted by her tiny intern Rory, Holly will be coming live from Lousy Digest HQ. A magazine that discusses the things that really don't matter, and makes a bit of a meal of it. If you're looking for pearls of wisdom or have some unusual/ interesting/ down right awful advice of your own, let us know at thatslousyadvice@gmail.com Thanks for listening and PLEASE don't forget to follow us so you never miss an episode! (And so I can move Rory to a paid intern role) Bye babe xx","last_synced_at":"2026-07-04T00:19:23.227260+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159"},"episode":{"title":"F** up Friday: Calling The Doctors for my Dog, Getting a Wax & Taking ADHD Meds with Coffee","slug":"f-up-friday-calling-the-doctors-for-my-dog-getting-a-wax-taking-adhd-meds-with-coffee","published_at":"2026-06-19T03:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159/f-up-friday-calling-the-doctors-for-my-dog-getting-a-wax-taking-adhd-meds-with-coffee","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NSR3095608803.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NSR3095608803.mp3","summary":"Holly and Rory share their most cringe-worthy slip-ups: from falling down stairs, confusing doctor visits, to bizarre massage mishaps, that turn out to be goldmines of comedy and life lessons. 00:00 - Welcome to Fudge Up Friday: Embracing mistakes with humor 00:44 - Listener submissions: Massage, spa, and medical blunders 02:01 - Funny stories about pet reports to RSPCA and mistaken hospital calls 03:20 - How unanswered questions during discussions might be handled 04:00 - Post-massage wardrobe mishaps and overcharges 06:00 - Curious stories about Embracing holiday dumps and relationship quirks 07:30 - The Clunge King’s recent family milestone 08:45 - Humorous recounts of hospital visits after stairs fall 10:03 - Facial surprises, inappropriate clothing requests, and body hair tales 12:10 - Blood donation attempts, needle panic, and fainting escapades 15:52 - Pregnancy sneak peek and early body image confusions 17:38 - Personal grooming, bikini, Brazilian, and laser experiences 20:03 - Medication mishaps, espresso overdrinks, and mental health moments 22:16 - Playlist confessions, humorous irritations, and sharing content 23:18 - Wrap-up, call to action, and thank you to listeners Learn more about your ad choices.
