About this listen

In this episode of Crisis Talks, the duo wrap up their “moaning” series and dive head-first into Parenting Room 101— from helicopter parents and loud narrators to humble-brag mums. They unpack the madness of social-media parenting, the horror of present-haul posts at Christmas, and the universal pain of raising teenagers (aka: empathy-free young people).

The conversation spirals — naturally — into memories of their own kids, and they jump through nostalgia, teenage behaviour, fridge-door slamming, and the challenges of modern parenting.

The episode finishes with a chat about Australian Christmases, booking their Dubai 50th trip, upcoming holidays, and what’s coming next: a cheerful Christmas special (or at least an attempt not to moan).
