  • 326: Steph Douglas on business, anxiety, and ferry sex
    Dec 31 2025

    She's back! The star of our most downloaded podcast ep returns for a big old chat about all sorts of things.


    We talk about how far she's come since starting her business, Don't Buy Her Flowers, and what it's like to sell a company you started from scratch.


    There's some debate about what's harder - the toddler years or the teenage phase? Steph discusses coping with anxiety, Ellie talks about dealing with the guilt of needing help, and Helen reveals what helped her get over her fear of flying.


    Of course we finish off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions, this time involving Seinfeld, grey pubes, and sex on a ferry.


    You can follow Stephanie @steph_dontbuyherflowers.


    And you can come and see us on tour in 2026! This month's shows in Rotherham, Winchester, Hexham, Alnwick, Darlington and Hornchurch are nearly SOLD OUT, so get in quick.


    In February we're coming to Northampton, Cirencester in Hertford. Then in March it's Manchester, Kent and our SCOTTISH TOUR! See you soon Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, and this year - ARBROATH!

  • 325: Xmas Special - When the Ham Man Brings the Ham
    Dec 15 2025

    Oh God. Time for some loud swearing, heavy drinking, and ludicrous conversations about nothing of any note - it's the Scummy Mummies Christmas Special!


    This year we have an argument about bodily fluids, and Steve shares his novel alternative to having a vasectomy. We talk about our favourite and least favourite shows of the year. There's a world exclusive book announcement, and Ellie reveals a secret she's been keeping from Jessie since August.


    Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without our stupid traditions - Linda Chat, gifts no one wants, and we find out if Jessie has a new job. Then it's time for the most controversial Ham Review of all time. Here's the recipe that won this year (or did it?): @gidsgids


    We finish with a bumper crop of Scummy Mummy Confessions, and share our hopes and dreams for 2026.


    Thank you so much for listening, especially if you're one of those people who's listened to these nonsensical Christmas specials for over a decade now. This one's for you.


    Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year!

  • 324: How to have a vasectomy with Sam Pamphilon
    Dec 3 2025

    Vasectomies, pornography, dick jokes and poo logistics - we cover it all with the help of hilarious comedian and actor, Sam Pamphilon!


    Sam tells us all about what it was like to have the snip, in graphic detail. We hear about the brilliant short film he recently starred in - The Man That I Wave At. And we discuss the sketch we tried out that was so filthy it never made it into the main Scummy Mummies show.


    Of course we finish with some confessions, involving language barriers, removal men, and a big old Dad Fail.


    IT'S TIIIIME! This week's shows in Chipping Norton are SOLD OUT. But you can come and see us in Chelmsford, Guildford, or Norwich. And we're touring our Hot Mess show throughout 2026 - go to scummymummies.com for dates and links. Tickets make great Christmas gifts, and if you email us info@scummymummies.com, we'll do a personalised video message for the recipient!
