Aging Disgracefully: The Chitty Chat Masterclass

Friendship, Regret, and The Badger Who Saw Everything

This week on Chitty Chat, Emma & Bobo reunite with their schoolmate Justin—aka “The Badger”—to celebrate 40+ years of friendship, bad decisions, and stories that should probably stay buried. From schoolyard chaos to marriages, divorces, kids, distance (Sydney to New Zealand), and the occasional argument that absolutely should’ve ended things but didn’t, they unpack what long-term friendship really looks like: messy, loyal, hilarious, and slightly unhinged. With prosecco discoveries, beer debates, and relentless teasing, it’s a funny, heartfelt reminder that real friends know your entire history… and still pick up your call. Grab a drink, call your oldest mate, and join us for The Badger’s in Town—because some friendships survive purely out of love… and mutual blackmail.

We Tried to Look Fabulous… Then Came the Passport Photo

This week on Chitty Chat, Emma and Bobo tackle the big question: why are we all trying to look 26 when we’re actually tired and have laundry to fold? From the Netflix binge of Younger to Golden Globes glam, disastrous passport photos, Korean eye patches, LED “friendly serial killer” masks, and the cruel truth about necks and hands… it’s a hilarious deep dive into ageing, beauty culture, and the ridiculous effort it takes to look “effortless.” Come for the laughs. Stay for the uncomfortable truths. And yes — we’re absolutely still judging our passport photos.

New Year, New you, Old you

It’s January — so obviously we’re all supposed to have our lives together by now. New habits. New mindset. New personality. Preferably before lunch. In this episode, Emma and Bobo dive headfirst into the whole “New Year, New You” nonsense — unpacking why resolutions feel inspiring for about five minutes before immediately making us want to lie down forever. They talk broken promises to ourselves, the guilt of not “doing enough,” and the very real emotional support role played by snacks (biscuits absolutely count as dinner, thank you!). Somewhere between the laughs, they land on a refreshingly kind truth: you don’t need to reinvent yourself to be worthy. You can want better things for yourself without bullying yourself into them. Emma wrestles with the urge to improve everything, while Bobo calmly reminds us that the “old you” has actually survived a lot — and maybe deserves a little respect, a cup of tea, and a very long lie down.

The Hangover That Time Forgot

In this episode of Chitty Chat, Emma and Bobo raise a glass (and possibly regret it later) as they stumble through the wild history of alcohol, the questionable science of hangover cures, and the universal art of overindulging. From ancient beer brewed in clay pots to the modern-day cocktails they explore how humans have been getting tipsy for centuries—and suffering for it the next morning. Expect tales of medieval monks who basically invented happy hour, “cures” that might’ve been poison, and why these girls swear by a greasy KFC and two Beroccas.  So grab your hangover kit, drink water (seriously, drink water), and tune in for a buzzed-up chat that proves we’ve always been bad at knowing when to stop. Cheers to poor decisions and great stories! And just like that…we’re back!

Aging Disgracefully: The Chitty Chat Masterclass

In this episode of Chitty Chat, Emma and Bobo dive into the hilarious world of staying youthful—because who doesn’t want to age gracefully (or at least fake it)? They tackle Donald Trump’s questionable tan, why polo shirts might be a crime against fashion, and the secret to jeans that don’t betray your age. Plus, they decode Gen Z slang (spoiler: “Rizz” is not what Bobo thought it was) and share why going out on a Friday night—or pretending you did—keeps you feeling young. Grab a drink, embrace the chaos, and prepare for plenty of laughs!
