    Giant Dicks, Conspiracies & Other Midlife Mysteries

    Join us as we overshare our way through some more mid-life chaos. From trying to fight the phenomenon of Vagina Neck, to the poor bloke who broke his arm thanks to his giant peen, nothing’s off limits.  Add in a rant about crazy Yanks, the challenges of raising kids, plus what’s on our screens and in our headphones right now.  As always, it’s unfiltered, unladylike and definitely not safe for small ears.  CONTACT US: We love mail… you can contact us at a multitude of places….

    Drought, Debacles and WTF 50!

    In this episode, we’re talking drought, dodgy politics and turning 50. Throw in some parenting, peri-menopause, volunteering, a kid moving out, and an overseas escape, and you’ve got one hell of a midlife mixtape.

    Trump, Santa and vagina necks

    It’s been a red hot minute but we blew off Phallic Phil to bring you another episode of the 40’s Project.  Among other things, Abbie put a silver lining around telling her son she was Santa and Melissa contemplated the situation of her vagina neck.  Love, loss and a giant Trump dump all squeezed into 30 minutes!  CONTACT US: We love mail… you can contact us at a multitude of places….

    Dull Women Unite

    We joined the Dull Women’s Club and feel right at home!  While Abbie relishes a Saturday night at home Melissa’s highlight is the daily Wordle.  We did manage a non-dull activity by hitting the Adelaide Oval on a scorching night to see Pink!  A guilt ridden concert but what a show!  We touch on our highs and lows, take a trip down memory lane, swear a bit, make each other laugh and sip on Clare Valley wine as we bring you another episode of The 40’s Project.  CONTACT US: We love mail… you can contact us at a multitude of places….

    Sweet and Sour January

    We took our microphone Phallic Phil on a road trip to the beautiful Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.  He enjoyed some salty air while he recorded a long and overdue podcast from your favourite friends in their 40’s.  CONTACT US: We love mail… you can contact us at a multitude of places….

    Therapy with Phil

    We’ve been working hard lately with our heads down and bums up at Greater SA but we took some time out and hooked up our beloved microphone Phallic Phil. It reminded us how much we like talking shit and having a good belly laugh! It’s our therapy.  Abbie caught up with Darren Scholz, aka Sholzy who is on an ‘adventure’ down a road he didn’t choose to travel as he begins treatment for prostate cancer. He and his wife Carolyn are now on a quest to spread awareness and save men’s lives!  As always, there’s a few swear words, background noise (this time grain trucks) and a discovery that a bird in the bush is actually more worthy that two in the hand because - poo.  CONTACT US: We love mail… you can contact us at a multitude of places….

    Making SA Greater and calling BS on the moon landing.

    Like the Apollo Missions, we’ve launched ourselves into a whole new world and plan on making SA even Greater.  Speaking of launches, and landings….. it got us thinking about the moon and we’re calling BS. Did Neil really take the first step for man and the second step for man kind?   CONTACT US: We love mail… you can contact us at a multitude of places…. Via email smithandtiller@gmail.com OR….

    Bali Bali Baaaaaali and a grumpy bitch

    It’s been a long time, but Abbie finally got back to Bali - her happy place. In this week’s episode she shares her latest jaunt hosting “A Real Treat” and their incredible experiences.  The only thing she missed while she was in Bali was Melissa, who refused to sweat bullets into plus sized undies for some zen and cocktails. She is a grumpy bitch this week so maybe she should have gone.   For more info about Abbie’s retreats check out the links below. https://www.facebook.com/breakforthesoul?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://instagram.com/a_realtreat?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== CONTACT US: We love mail… you can contact us at a multitude of places….
