Episode 9: all too well | swearing kids, random couples & ringing Mum

Bestie Boos - A podcast by Sam Baxter & Sarah Direen - Mondays

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!00:00 Welcome Back, Bestie Boos!00:54 Highlights and Low Lights03:54 Labubu Dolls Craze05:42 Celebrity Gossip: New Couples and Breakups11:15 Voting and Politics16:31 Kids Say the Darndest Things20:02 Mental Health Check-In21:50 Coping with Emotions and Medication22:29 Impact of Podcast Topics on Mental Health23:05 Struggles with Career and Loss27:12 Using Chat GPT for Mental Health28:27 Generational Technology and Communication30:18 Gen Z Slang and Cultural Differences38:12 Mother's Day and Family Dynamics42:49 The Environmental Impact of AI43:18 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow/Subscribe to the show and please rate usInstagram @bestieboosshowTikTok @bestieboosshowYouTube @BestieBoosShowContact [email protected] the word Besties xoxo Hosted on Acast.
