From diva behaviour to disappointing your youngest fans, the girls get into where the line is between protecting your space and just being plain mean. The conversation then turns to Meghan Markle, as they unpack the Netflix rumours, polished celebrity personas, and why being too earnest can sometimes make people warm to you even less. Plus, messy sibling nights out, Tesla farts, spring-forward weekend plans, kids’ birthday parties, and why these really are the golden years.
