This week on Bestie Boos, we’ve got a LOT to catch up on — including how Sam found herself in hospital with a criminal this week and Sarah getting the fright of her life when a listener literally walks into the room while we’re recording, and of course… UP THE WAHS! 🏉💙❤️💚 We kick things off with a pop culture catch-up, including Hayden Panettiere’s latest headlines, Chanel West Coast (lol), Glassons RIOTS as they open in Sydney, The Gentlemen brings Harry & Megs back to the UK, and a PSA about New World’s Smeg knife blocks. We also chat about Mac Miller’s vault tracks. Then we get into a BIG sports chat — celebrating the Warriors’ massive 45–26 win before getting into the Rabbitohs, Newcastle Knights and Manly Sea Eagles, the Black Ferns and All Blacks wins, and State of Origin hitting up Eden Park in 2027. But the real rabbit hole this week is TRUE CRIME. What starts with Sam casually mentioning a hospital visit turns into the revelation that she was literally in hospital next to someone who had been arrested for a serious crime. We dive into the details and then spiral into Lindsay Clancy, the Idaho Four, Erin Patterson, Jared Bridgegan, Tupac and plenty of other crime stories that have had us completely hooked this week. We share some of your Bestie Boos listener stories and audio, and honestly, you guys continue to provide the content… well your kids do haha. Potty Mouth Luna is thriving, Sam is equal parts proud and embarrassed, and we get into some very important discoveries from a neurology appointment. Plus, what we’re currently vibing, why we’re apparently blowing men’s minds, and whatever else has been taking up space in our heads this week. And then… a listener walks into the room while we’re recording! It’s all go! 😂 Just two besties catching up on life, pop culture, sport, true crime, motherhood, friendship and whatever else comes into our heads along the way. 💕 ___________________________________ About Bestie Boos Podcast Bestie Boos is a New Zealand podcast hosted by best friends Sam Baxter and Sarah Direen.
