Tori's back and snarkier than ever (you know you love it!) with a hilarious synopsis for "Relax."
This week, we're celebrating the fact that parents are, in fact, flawed human beings (just like Chilli).
We'll dive deep into the elusive art of "relaxing as an adult," share our own real-life stories about kids & hotels and ponder the age-old question: do other countries really put soap on their pillows instead of chocolate? (Asking for a friend...and also because we're genuinely curious).

...the final frontier. This week we all go on a journey with Mackenzie as he works on his trauma through play (something I never thought I would be talking about in regards to a kids show) in S3 E35 Space.
In addition to making TONS of space related jokes and references, we also discuss trauma and how Bluey does an amazing job of rolling all of it into 7 minutes of television. They truly craft the episodes in a way where everyone will get something from them. We also talk about scary movie (detour ahead)
PLUS our kids make a surprise appearance, providing us with some insight about a question that Cherin poses. And of course we share facts and some of our own For Real Life Moments.

We’re BACK and ready to dive deep into another Bluey episode! Buckle up, because this one’s a doozy. We’re finally tackling the infamous “Family Meeting” episode – yes, the one that was banned!
But be warned: This episode was recorded a while back, so expect some seriously outdated pop culture references (think Bridgerton and Mother’s Day). But trust us, the discussion is worth the questionable chat. We’re sharing some crazy statistics about fluffies, and even taking a detour into the world of true crime (don’t worry, it’s relevant!).
So grab your curlers, your trusty fluffy meter and let's dive in.
