Strap yourself in for this wild ride as Sam sets out to ruin our favourite childhood memories with facts, and we talk all things gender reveal parties!

Kicking off with yays and nays, we are catching up on our week which included a family holidays! Nays include exhaustion and kids ruining buffets, yays include funny Batman moments and rollercoasters!

Sam then takes us on his deep dive of facts he's found about the shows and movies of our childhood. Like did you know Big Bird almost died on the challenger space mission? Or that the Cowardly Lion costume from The Wizard of Oz was made of real lion hair?

Then we start with the gender reveal - and the resounding response from our socials was people do NOT appreciate them. And after discovering the amount of damage they've done, we get it.

First, we cover some cringy ones. Funny gender reveals that make you say 'oh no'.

Then we hit the major fails where people have died, started fires and caused explosions. Yes, it really happens.

We finish with some rules for gender reveals - cos cake really is the only safe option it seems!
