We’re officially 2 years old, and it’s nearly Christmas — and as we all know, Thom is not a fan. She breaks down her festive loves (there are a few) and her loathes… including the annual tradition of her sitting on a pouffe while the rest of the family lounges on her comfy sofa. Pure joy.

Dr Dunn has taken a deep dive into adult soft-play centres and whatever on earth new mums are banging that drum ON!

We also ask the big questions, like: do YOU know what a doodlesack is? And in true Rein It In fashion, we go from silliness to serious as we talk about vaginismus — not remotely Christmassy, but important, and we point you to someone far more qualified than us, because we are absolutely not your medical team.

We also cover Purdy & Figg, bloody influencers, and our Blasts from the Past. Spangles, anyone?

It’s our final episode of 2025, so dig in, ears open, and get ready for a laugh or two… or three… or four.

Episode Fifty. Half a century of chat. Thank you for following, listening and sticking with us. Two years on, and we finally feel like we know what we are doing. Sort of.

We dip into Celeb Jungle this week. Plenty of fun and giggles and, gibsville moments aside, it is actually quite warming. Nice people together. Something we all seem to need right now.

We also ask the big life questions. Would you wear a tabard? And if not, what about Sketchers? Or tracky bottoms. Or the classic polo shirt. Fashion aspects Thom says NO to

You will also discover something genuinely fascinating about Lemur monkeys. Dunn is convinced she might come back as one. They are only open to the public... at certain times of the year. If at all.

We talk about the joy of a daily sentence and the comfort of podcasts that are relatable. You know. Like ours.

We have a new segment called Blast from the Past, and we go full Cagney and Lacey.

You will also find out what a parasocial relationship is. Plus, we dive into naff buys and the horror of walking through someone else’s cloud of bad breath.

What more could you want? Jump in and get your ears ready.

Our last episode of 2025 will be out on the eleventh of December.

The dog was a dick from the start. But we’ve realised, after listening to other people’s podcasts (even the famous ones), that everyone seems to have a dickhead dog barking at a leaf or two outside their window. Ours finally settles, Thom finally sits down, and Dunn can at last talk about failure; falling off the pre-diabetic wagon and wondering if blueberries and Greek yoghurt might taste better with a few Celebrations on top. It’s nearly Christmas after all.

Thom’s not feeling festive, though. If only there were a Worzel Gummidge head she could swap to, the one that likes tinsel, bread sauce, and people. We also spiral into a very deep chat about potatoes (naturally), nearly launching a campaign for a potato board with melted cheese. Honestly, who doesn’t love potatoes?

Good news from across the pond, the FDA has finally seen sense and ditched the outdated, fear-mongering black box warning from HRT leaflets. We also debate which one of us would be rocking in the corner and who’d be the stabby one without our HRT.

Dunn tries to get Thom to work both sides of her brain at once, spoiler alert: it doesn’t go well. And if you’re wondering, no, a peri bottle isn’t a bottle of wine for women on their period (though it should be).

Tune in for all the good stuff, the foisty stuff, and our favourite people to follow and watch this week.
