  • Episode 11: i did something bad | court cases, threesomes, audiobooks & lactose problems
    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).Please follow the podcast wherever you listen and please rate us (if its 5 stars!)Instagram - @bestieboosshowTikTok - @bestieboosshowIf you are wanting to work with us contact us at [email protected]:00 Welcome Back to Bestie Boos00:18 Highlights and Low Lights01:11 Car Troubles and Marketing Fun02:52 Pop Culture Roundup: Criminal Edition03:10 P Diddy and Cassie Drama05:19 Kim Kardashian's Paris Robbery07:47 Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and Taylor Swift Drama11:48 Audiobooks vs. Reading Debate14:37 Heartfelt Listener Messages16:43 Supporting Friends with Meal Train17:44 Avoiding Vague Offers of Help19:10 Being Persistent and Consistent20:22 The Importance of Communication24:52 Using Chat GPT for Everyday Tasks31:15 Final Thoughts and Shoutouts

    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 Thoughts
