Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, Monique, Amelia, and Stacey are discussing the &lsquo;Jessica&rsquo; hack gone slightly awry. We talked about it. Our listeners tried it, and some of the results were&hellip;spooky. So, why has even Jessica Biel weighed in on this viral trend? Also, we unpack the YouTube-ification of Netflix and why Danny Goh and Miss Rachel are suddenly taking over our Netflix profiles. We dive into the &lsquo;Wild West&rsquo; of YouTube and why it&rsquo;s banned in Monz&rsquo;s house after a Peppa Pig incident. Plus, we talk about the list of things you must be able to perform to be considered a fully-fledged &lsquo;Supreme Adult&rsquo;. From public speaking to calling the doctor yourself, what exactly is a normal sleep pattern when you have small humans anyway? And, we discuss &lsquo;The Lunchbox Theory&rsquo; and why we collectively need to lower the bar and become &lsquo;underachieving&rsquo; parents. The Recommendations Stacey: The Swan Princess (1994) &ndash; Now on Netflix! It features a French frog voiced by John Cleese and a princess who demands more than just 'you're pretty'. Amelia: Taco Goat Cheese Pizza &ndash; A $15 card game that actually makes teenagers laugh. Monique: Biozet Attack &ndash; The supermarket laundry detergent with the magic enzyme that actually gets the 'funk' out of bed-wetting accidents.
