    Are You A Beta Mum?

    It’s a glorious week for entertainment, with the telly absolutely bursting with options. From the return of Rivals on Disney+ to the hotly anticipated Kylie Minogue documentary dropping on Wednesday, we’ve got your viewing schedule sorted. Who else spent the weekend glued to the 70th Eurovision Song Contest? We’re unpacking it all, from Our Delta’s powerful rendition of Eclipse to the new earworm of the moment, Bangaranga, its philosophical meaning and how it can be applied to just about everything. In silly parenting news, there’s yet another new label to box ourselves into - the “beta mum”. What do we think? And why is Jessica Simpson’s latest move the perfect example of a beta mum in action? Then, we’re taking a look at John Travolta’s kooky new look and the curse of the upper bleph on men. Finally, our ins and outs for the week include a new cake trend and some BIG feelings about the vintage Country Road bag.

    We’re Worried About Lena Dunham

    Staring your week with a hilarious dispatch from Lu’s dating life, which BB accidentally derailed in spectacular fashion. Also, there’s one elderly king dominating our feeds right now - the big dog, Sir David Attenborough, who just clocked ~triple~ digits. There is only ONE book millennial women are currently reading, or inhaling through their ear holes, and it’s Famesick by Lena Dunham. We’re unpacking the memoir of the moment and why we’re feeling protective over the Girls creator. Did she share too much? Do we love her for it? Or are we about to tear her down (again) for doing exactly that? Plus, Rihanna has broken the interwebs with her new tattoo, and it’s got BB seriously second-guessing her own upcoming ink. Naturally, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of Tinseltown’s most terrible tatts. And finally, our ins and outs include a low-touch way to do your hair, THE sherpa jacket of the season and a bone to pick with late-night gigs.   Mentions:  Sign up to The Fifth Trimester Fix Famesick by Lena Dunham  Pile Lined Fleece Relaxed Silhouette Cardigan in Olive  Test your iron levels  The Fifth Trimester bangers playlist  Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    If Mother’s Day Is Hard For You ❤️‍🩹

    Ahead of Mother’s Day this Sunday, BB and Lu are dropping in for a special lil chat/pep talk/warm hug for anyone who may find this day hard to navigate. Whether you’re longing to be a mum, missing your mum, caring for your mum, dealing with a complex mother-daughter relationship, a tricky mother-in-law dynamic, or a single mum... It’s a day that can put all of that under a microscope and really illuminate the pain. Lu opens up about how, in the wake of her divorce, Mother’s Day, and other big, celebratory moments now come with an undercurrent of sadness. BB shares what it’s been like stepping into the role of legal guardian for her mum following a dementia diagnosis. The girls also share how they’re marking the day together this year, complete with a full-blown boycott of the whole damn thing. We hope this alternative view point makes you feel less alone, DLs.   Share this episode with your loved ones x   Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    It’s the first Monday in May, and that can only mean one thing - it’s the Met Gala, baby! Lu and BB are clad in their couture Kmart and archival Witchery, here to run you through all the delicious, high-fashion moments from the red carpet - from Queen Bey’s grand entrance to Nicole Kidman’s adorable date and the billionaire who quite literally purchased the whole event for his wife. Plus, our fave fits, what we think defines a killer Met Gala lewk, why the night was marred in controversy, and all the BTS tea on how celebs even score an invite to fashion’s most coveted evening.   Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Devil Wears Fancy Lunch Regret

    It’s our 20th episode, DLs! So to celebrate, we’ve got a brand-new theme song. Then, three girls walk into Icebergs for a special-occasion lunch… and what happens next is basically like the funniest episode of Fawlty Towers you’ve ever seen. Have you watched Yung Lean and GENR8ION’s hypnotic clip for STORM yet? Lu can’t stop thinking about it and is insisting you press play, stat. Next up, we’re unpacking The Devil Wears Prada 2 and giving you our honest thoughts on this fashion fever dream of a reboot. From the lewks to the very overstuffed plot, the A-list cameos and everything in between - we’ll tell you if it’s worth your time (and your precious moola). Has Big Strong John landed in your algo yet? If not, it’s only a matter of time before the “Thirst Trap Wiggle” gyrates his way into your feed. And finally, our ins and outs are a smattering of Vogue-endorsed nails, timely jabs and lip oils.   Mentions:  GENER8ION - STORM starring Yung Lean, full video clip Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Oil  Purple Wiggle Humping reel  Hot Potato: The Story of the Wiggles  The Fifth Trimester bangers playlist  Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    What’s your tiger-in-a-crowd personality? 🐯

    So, according to Charli XCX, the dance floor is dead?! We have thoughts on these shock claims as the musician announces her surprising new direction. In very exciting streaming news, our queen of pop, Kylie Minogue, is getting the Netflix documentary treatment, and we are *squealing* with glee. Now, onto a very important question for you: if a tiger were loose in the crowd, how would you handle it? Next up, Lu is deep-diving into Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton’s blossoming romance. And while it’s progressing at the speed of a shiny, red Ferrari, could Lewis be a keeper? Plus, we get a big round table update on all of the other KDash players, their new beaus and some weird toes. Would you let Nicole Kidman be your death doula? The actress is retraining in this unexpected field, and it’s got us thinking about other celebs who also have normal-people jobs. Finally, our ins and outs for the week include another dubious hobby for Lu, a cool new colour to wear and how NOT to use AI.   Mentions:  Follow @rattle_style  Listen to our most downloaded episode here The Fifth Trimester bangers playlist (updated weekly!)

    Stop maxxing everything!

    Kicking things off this week with the most Fifth Trimester family vacay to ever Fifth Trimester. Then, we unpack everything we learned from our first savage trolling encounter on the World Wide Web (we’re looking at you boujiee88!) Onto even more sinister matters - what is looksmaxxing, and why does it involve people literally smashing their faces with a hammer?! We’re deep-diving this concerning movement, plus what we can actually do as parents to protect our kids from it. Naturally, we needed a palate cleanser, and DLs, she’s a good one. Our ultimate style crush, Liv Brown from Rattle Style, joins us to chat autumn dopamine dressing, her go-to formulas for those “I want to look cute but my brain isn’t braining” days, and how to shop your own wardrobe (because hello, #cozzielivs). You’ll feel inspired ​​🌈 Finally, it’s our ins and outs: questionable shoe accessories, a signature new bevvy, and a ragey rant about trying to get served at the chemist.

    A very heated debate about Coachella

    We’re having some BIG feelings about Coachella, so we decided to bring you this special edition episode to unpack the juiciest weekend on the global stage of pop culture. From Justin Bieber’s divisive performance, Sabrina Carpenter’s insane Broadway theatrics and all the spicy nuggets of goss in between. Plus, the gals have a *very* heated debate over whether they should go to the festival for their 40th birthdays and YOU get to decide our fate.  Mentions:  Stream Coachella live on YouTube  Follow Aussie musician @sim1strauss for all her Coachella adventures The Fifth Trimester bangers playlist (updated weekly!)
