    Planning Our Own Burials, 90s Nostalgia & The Reason We Wouldn’t Rent Out Our Own Homes

    Welcome back to another episode of Background Nonsense — where things escalate quickly and make less sense as we go on. This week starts with us attempting to bring back the best cake we’ve ever had from America (logistically questionable, emotionally necessary), before spiralling into a full 90s nostalgia trip — teen magazines, school stories, and the absolute chaos of growing up. Somewhere along the way, we unlock a brand new fear: people misbehaving in your Airbnb… because why are strangers so unhinged?! Lucy also introduces her latest life rule — a strict cereal limit — which is already hanging by a thread. Naturally, this leads us to planning our own burials (as you do), and discussing the moral responsibility of stopping people from casually eating poisonous berries. It’s chaotic, completely unnecessary, and all over the place — but that’s the point. If you love random tangents, nostalgic throwbacks, and conversations that spiral into places they absolutely shouldn’t, this episode is for you.

    The Emotional Regulation Tip Everyone Needs & Why She’s Creating Without Monetising

    It’s Sophie’s birthday so she’s away on a jolly which means this week Lucy is joined by Anna, who’s back on the podcast! 🥳 We dive into emotional regulation, somatics, nervous system regulation and practical ways to manage stress and big emotions in everyday life. Anna shares her top tips for emotional resilience and how somatic practices can help you feel more grounded and present. Trust us, this simple method is going to change your day! We also talk about poetry, creativity and why Anna is choosing to create for creativity’s sake — not to monetise it. In a world obsessed with side hustles and productivity, we explore what it means to make art without turning it into a business, and why creative expression can exist without a financial goal. And of course… Punch the Monkey. Who is looking out for this sweet little outcast?

    Sporting Scandals, An Unusual Life Goal & The Fear of Houses With Too Many Windows

    This week on Background Nonsense, chaos strikes again as our first video recording didn’t even save (classic us). It’s a conversation full of tangents and odd topics and weirdly a lot about sport… which really is something we both know very little about, so hold on to your hats because we’re sharing our thoughts as if we’re experts. We chat about how proud you’d be if your child became a professional athlete, the Olympics, athletes cheating scandals, and the bizarre story of skiers injecting their willies. Lucy reveals her life goal of changing an F1 race car wheel (despite never changing a tyre), and we deep dive into why houses with too many windows are terrifying. Plus, the creepy house Lucy almost bought—with a mysterious stain at the bottom of the stairs that still haunts her. Expect funny sister chats, spooky house stories, sports scandals, relatable chaos and plenty of background nonsense. f you love funny sister podcasts, viral stories, spooky house tales, sports scandals, real life chaos and relatable conversations, this episode is for you.
