There was one particular call in that Soph just couldn’t bite her tongue about until we do the dedicated episode.

Nothin like a nosy, self entitled, presumptuous stranger to get our blood boiling in the supermarket am I right??

Welcome back! If you haven't listened to Part 1, head back for a little context and to see how quickly we went through the wines to end up here.

There were so many responses for this topic, too many to fit into 2 episodes. So some of those hard hitting topics are going to get their own special place in the spotlight where we can really dive in, and get especially furious (and tipsy) about the extremely personal issues that people feel so entitled to have an opinion on. Stay tuned for those. But for now, pour yourself a little Grant or lush red or maybe a calming cuppa, because we're about to get into it.

Cheers BAB, cheers!

The Bird and Bandit are back with a two-parter! We had such a massive response from listeners after the first episode with stories of some real doozies, and to be honest we got a little carried away. There were so many messages and responses about "heroes" chiming in wherever they can to offer tips like "have you tried feeding them", weird, uninvited touching, and a real favourite, "Just don't think about it."... that we had to split this into two episodes.

Just to be clear, we KNOW there are a lot of listeners that might be like "eep! I've said that!" (we both definitely have at some point!) and we know that some of you have the best intentions. But just know, there are a heck of a lot of ya that do not. And we are going to talk about it. And drink about it. So buckle up, fill up your glass, coffee cup, giant water vessel, and get spicy with us.

Cheers BAB, cheers!

TW:

We want to let you know that this episode discusses pregnancy loss. While this can be a difficult and sensitive topic, it is an important and common aspect of the fertility journey. In our commitment to being open and honest with you, we want to share that pregnancy loss has been a part of both of our experiences and so these discussions may occur through the podcast.

If you are currently experiencing a loss, please know that we are with you and you are not alone. If you need support, we strongly encourage you to reach out to resources like Miscarriage Australia and the Pink Elephants Support Network. Speak with your doctor or another trusted healthcare professional for additional support options.

You’re not alone.

Episode ONE!! of The Bird and the Bandit…. PRESSURE!

(pretty fitting, when you consider the pressure to blow your tits off with this first episode, right?)

We’re talking everything from pressure to conceive, to the pressures of pregnancy, and all those extremely personal things in between that everyone seems so entitled to have an opinion on (not to mention those inner demon pressures we put on ourselves).

PRESSURE is one of the biggest underlying topics, whatever it is we’re talking about. And we really want to hear from you. Where have you felt pressured? What fucked up comments have you been hit with from family about your biological clock, or your sex life, or breast feeding, or your career? Dads, where have you felt pressured and judged when it comes to having a baby, “staying strong”, adjusting, who did you want to tell to F@#K OFF?

We can’t wait to hear from you. And when you do hear from us when we launch EPISODE FUCKING ONE (🤯), just, like, ya know, be gentle… it’s a lot of pressure.

We love you.

Sincerely, what the actual fuck, Birdbones and Bandit 🍷🍼👯‍♀️

Hey BABS! We did it, we started a f#@king podcast!

We are so excited that you're here but we cannot stress this enough.... we have ZERO idea what we are talking about or what we are doing, please be gentle.

This sexy little teaser is just a welcome to the chaos, basically. Something to wet your whistle, if you will.

So if you love a tipple, thrive on chaos, and feel lost in this shit storm of fertility, sex, relationships, pregnancy, parenthood, and allll the many beautiful nightmares that come with it, grab a glass. And join the chaos.

Sincerely, what the actual fuck, The Bird and Bandit x
