This week on Bestie Boos, we’re diving deep — from the spiritual to the seriously unhinged. Sam opens up about the powerful signs she’s been receiving from Samuel, including one wild car moment that’ll give you chills.

In pop culture, we’re side-eyeing Bieber’s latest spiral, celebrating the Crusaders’ 15th Super Rugby win, unpacking the Karen Read trial, and sending love to Rufus the Wimbledon hawk (yes, really).

Then it’s chaos as we set our midwinter plunge challenge — and it’s on. Go-karts. Pride. Speed. One of us thinks she’s the next F1 star and the other is ready to crash her dreams.

Plus: Sarah’s got a spicy open home story (think: shower + sex = yikes) and Sam’s league coach tale takes a truly bizarre bite. Oh — and there’s top-tier therapist wisdom to carry you through your week.

It’s raw, ridiculous, real. Just how you like it.

Tune in, laugh loud, and feel a little less alone 💘

It’s a Bestie Boos rollercoaster this week and we’re unhinged in the best way. We kick things off with highs & lows, a pop culture roundup: Alex Cooper’s new doco, the Diddy trial, Kanye’s wild half-hour feature, the Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni drama being squashed (and why Taylor Swift wants none of it), and David Beckham finally getting knighted — sir, it’s about time.

Then, we take you behind the scenes of a major moment: our brand new billboard is LIVE, but Sarah does something in front of it that absolutely shamed Sam to the core — truly one of the most embarrassing moments of her entire life.

Later, Sarah screams like she’s in a horror movie (we are not exaggerating), and we open up about our birth stories — Luna and Miller’s grand entrances into the world. And just when you think we’re done, Sam shares a subtle but powerful update on her grief journey.

To wrap it all up, we’re planning a midwinter plunge challenge — but we need your help coming up with what the dare should be. DM us your ideas… or your worst fears.

We kick things off with our weekly highlights and lowlights — including a billboard update! Then it’s a jam-packed pop culture roundup: the Beckhams might be feuding, Marc Anthony’s popping up at weddings, and apparently two brothers are dating the same woman? Tinder’s trying to turn dating into a true love story, and Elon and Trump’s Pride Month break-up has us lolling.

Sam shares her bold new bedtime strategy — inspired by Sarah’s “empty threats” method — and we all agree: don’t take parenting advice from us. We then slow things down with a heartfelt chat about family traditions and commemorating milestones, including a moment where Sam receives a letter she wrote to herself a year ago in the thick of grief.

Finally, our skin is glowing and we’re giving full credit to the third Bestie Boo… ChatGPT. We unpack whether AI is better than therapy, and wrap up with pelvic floor confessions and a whole lot of lols. Enjoy Besties x

No video this week, besties — episode 13 lived up to its number and we had a technical hiccup with one of the cameras. Just audio today, but trust us, it’s a goodie.

We kick things off with a classic weekend yarn: a trip to the pub, a bold comment from a strange man, and Sam being prematurely declared “a jockey” Then we dive into a chaotic pop culture roundup: the AMAs were weirdly empty, Taylor Swift didn’t announce anything (but then secretly bought back all her old masters — queen), and the Biebers and Hadids are making big money and discovering new siblings.

Sam has a run-in with a podcast fan that sparks a wild but genius marketing idea (hello, marketing dreams), before we shift into a more heartfelt chat about identity, grief, and finding purpose. Sarah sets Sam a challenge for the week ahead, and we finish up with swimming lesson dramas (spoiler: Sarah had a shocker) and our usual highlights and lowlights.

This week on Bestie Boos, we dive into the pop culture messiness we love—Justin Bieber’s bizarre caption on Hailey’s Vogue cover, Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes hard launching with a full ocean pash, and Kris Jenner’s face that’s suddenly giving… Kim?

Sam shares a funny-sad preschool drop-off story that’ll hit home for any parent.

Sarah opens up about her skincare redemption arc—what ruined her skin years ago, and her new routine featuring retinol and Botox. We also chat Jacinda Ardern, imposter syndrome, and finding your place even when you feel like a fraud.

Plus: a touching shoutout to the rugby boys and Sarah’s go-to tips for surviving winter sick season with kids.

This week, the Bestie Boos tackle pop culture’s criminal edition — from P. Diddy and Cassie to Kim K’s courtroom moment and our gal Taylor swift being dragged into the Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni drama that we wish would end. Sam reveals worldwide headlines based on their own texts of 10 years, and a heated debate breaks out over audiobooks vs. reading. We also share heartfelt advice on how to really show up for friends going through tough times — plus a lactose-fuelled Kmart crisis to end on a high (or a low, depending who you ask).

In this jam-packed episode of Bestie Boos, we kick off with our highs and lows of the week — including a very special surprise from Sarah (hint: blind box).

We dive into the world of random celebrity couples — yes, Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley, we’re looking at you — plus the latest chaos from JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes. We give our take on Australia’s big election moment and somehow end up deep in the trenches of bad parenting: the swearing edition (featuring our toddlers dropping F-bombs).

Sam opens up during our mental health check-in about grief, medication, and the tough career crossroads she’s facing, and we revisit how ChatGPT has weirdly become part therapist. We also get stuck into a chat about Gen Z slang, tech through the generations, and wrap things up with a hilarious attempt by Sam to get her mum to say “I love you” for Mother’s Day - yes we ring her!
