Welcome to the Podcast where two women living in Leeds who are in the peak time of life try and navigate it one laugh at a time! Chewing the fat, concluding that life is too short for being good and having serious conversations, so grab your comfy pants, a snack that deserves the name, and join us as we giggle our way through the chaos of menopause, being pissed off (BMP), the things we now find funny and the knobheads of life. Who knew adulting would involve so much confusion and so little applause? Cheers to laughter, good company, and the hope that one day we’ll figure out what ’adulting’ actually means!” 🎙️ Fortnightly episodes - Find us on Instagram

Thom's not happy, and this week the targets are letting agents and the gloriously pointless antics of her mother-in-law. If you've ever dealt with either, you'll relate. We get into breastfeeding and how it somehow translates into yes, no, before taking a hard left into ageing lips, we know it’s partly collagen-related, but the sun plays a part, and as ever, the conversation finds its way to giving the neighbours a very good reason not to peer over the fence. Dr Dunn is back with a fresh batch of medical facts and names for body parts you've never heard of in your life. Turns out we're like a flower, two names for everything. Then there's the notification on your Ring doorbell, and the small matter of the person Dunn has discovered who collects pubes and turns them into rings. We're begging you, STOP FEEDING THE WEIRD. We dust off some Victorian slang, get gifted a brand new phrase from the younger generation that's essentially an upgrade of small man syndrome, and ask the big question: when exactly did the phone call die? Plus the item you cling onto that frankly needs to meet a bin, our TV highlights of the week, who to follow on Instagram, and be proud for Pride these next few months. Same nonsense, same two of us. Have a listen.
This week on Rein It In... Chin hair emergencies and Dunn's brilliant Hinge and Bracket fix. Free bleeders. TikTok lies. The blue period advert era. Gush adverts. And Thom's ongoing campaign to wind up her mother-in-law. Things we're glad are over: dating, periods being taboo, and pretending blue liquid was ever fooling anyone. Things we apparently CAN'T escape: stirrup leggings, banana clips, and the return of every trend we hoped was dead. Strictly chat (give the new hosts a chance, you're not too cool to enjoy it). Our first ever troll story. Spoiler: he called us a name only Thom would repeat - but he can't spell, well And Dunn getting compared to Morten Harket from A-Ha. Which we're still processing. Plus the eternal truth: being a grown-up is sometimes just mince. Have a listen. Bring snacks.
This week we’re chatting, laughing, story telling and discussing how going to the theatre can actually physically break a person. From the forced Mexican irish wave (it's only your arms) of people getting to their seats, to cramped legs, numb arses and theatres that clearly haven’t adapted for the more generously upholstered among us… was the standing ovation actually appreciation, or simply everyone trying to get circulation back in their lower body? We cover medical issues that suddenly make us feel older than we’d like, and question whether some alternatives to HRT should actually come with a health warning. WIDL returns… what is it? Never heard of it before? Listen in and tell us what you think. Carti the cat is horny, somebody’s dog apparently has needs, and if you can’t sleep, it may be better to sort yourself out (not with a pet) Standard podcast behaviour really. Dunn has a serious dilemma question and Thom’s answer is an immediate and very aggressive “absolutely f’ing not.” We’re also glad some things seem to be disappearing from society… high heels and swim pants. Who would wear them is the bigger question. Mr P ICT asks what’s the funniest thing you’ve ever told a child off for, which naturally leads us into stories involving a coach and a moon. As always, chaos, oversharing, questionable opinions and far too much honesty. Come join us. Ears in, eyes down
Dunn takes on swimming… and discovers it’s not just “get in and splash about”, oh no, there are rules. Actual lane etiquette. Who knew? Just as she finds her rhythm and perfects the polite overtake… someone jumps in and ruins the whole thing. Will she go back, or is this the end of Dunn vs the pool? We introduce some old WIDLs, including one word that’s both completely gross… and oddly useful if you ever fancy getting out of hospital early 👀 BMP this week, curly hair. How many products does one head actually need? Bottles everywhere, routines longer than a Netflix series… or do you just leave it and hope for the best? Food chat turns serious, a pasty under the spotlight. Specifically… the ear. Why do we love it? Why do we hate it? And what actually is it? And on a slightly more serious note… Only Vans (with wind), please stop feeding the weird. You might think you’re helping… you’re probably part of the problem. Thom has thoughts. Strong ones. We’re also sharing some great podcasts, Instagram pages we’re loving right now, and taking a moment for Victoria Wood, 10 years on, still missed, still brilliant. ........And so much more.... eyes down, plug us in your ears
Do you share your takeaway, not full-on Smithy level, but Thom admits she’s not sharing her gyozas, while Dunn’s a bit more generous… or does it depend what you’ve ordered? Be honest now, did you share the kids’ Easter chocolate… or just “help them out” a little too much? We get into the world of Vinted, what on earth is acceptable packaging, and when does it just become just wrong?! Plus, what do you do when you’ve only got one loo in the house and your teenager’s in there with their phone like they’ve moved in permanently. We also play a round of Break A Take and share the little things people have done this week that made us question... life as we get older And Dr Dunn has discovered a spray to stop that “over 40s” smell… apparently it’s a thing, which is slightly concerning for both of us. No burping this episode - but there is mention of a Chode and a d'wang! Think girth
We're back in shag manor and there is no podcast barker - all is quiet... well, there is a burp or two What do you like about a rummage? It’s an important question… We do try to include a “serious” segment in our episodes — it just doesn’t always stay serious for very long. We’re not here to make life miserable; we’re here to spark a bit of thought, without taking ourselves too seriously. We might not have a big platform, but we’re here to make you laugh, cringe, think, and most importantly, relate. So wherever you are, just keep listening. In this episode: 👉 Thom asks the all-important question… what’s the difference between dirty and kinky? (Brace yourself.) 👉 Dunn brings some interesting facts to the table 👉 And Thom introduces a new gadget that could change your chin forever Oh… and there’s an unexpected appearance from a bottle of Pepsi Max and a touch of acid reflux for good measure. and sohhhhh much more Strap in lads and ladies
We’re back! with our second attempt with our new equipment, so all being well our voices should be a little more crisp and clear… aside from the occasional interruption from the Podcast Barker 🐶. We’re hoping to be recording again soon from the legendary Shag Manor, but for now this episode has a bit of everything. Thom stumbled across a very interesting purchase while searching for tights, while Dunn brings along some facts, and you can understand what she means this time! We chat about all the things we probably shouldn’t, including why women might need something called a “Snail Nap”… apparently they can sleep for three years. Sounds appealing. We also discover that whales are a bit gross, small children aren’t much better, and frankly… teachers deserve medals. Our Dick of the Week goes to a certain man in politics who suggested changing International Women’s Day, and Thom has a few choice words about why that definitely isn’t happening. Halfway through recording, Thom suddenly realises we haven’t actually recorded the video for most of the podcast… brilliant start. We also wander into a chat about Ozempic and the unexpected benefits the US is seeing. Meanwhile, we’ve come up with an anagram for FACEBOOK and Thom launches in, whilst Dunn suggests Plant Bingo (and no, it’s not the kind where you win a palm tree at Mecca), She’s also starting to lose herself in solitaire where reading could be more beneficial So tuck in, grab a beer, and give it a listen, or listen when you’re on a walk, driving, or wandering around the supermarket…We dare you.
We’re back, and somehow what started as absolutely nothing turned into a full blown game. Proof, if it were ever needed, that mentally we’re still somewhere around Year 9. This week we’re asking: What’s one thing you didn’t try until you were older? Curry • What was your “luxury” item growing up, hairdryer or electric knife? • The word “just”, why does it grate when someone “just” drops it into a sentence? And is “we” simply an upside down “me” • Car phrases or calf raises, listen carefully when Dunn speaks, what did you hear? Thom goes Dr Dunn and finds out what Sea Cucumbers have! • Biscuit of the month. It’s about to be all Tuc n Nice. Thank you for the love on our Instagram lately, the views have jumped and we see you. Keep following us on socials @ReinitinwithThomandDunn or email us at Thomanddunn@outlook.com with your answers, opinions or general outrage, no… not at us! As always, mildly educational, slightly unhinged, and absolutely unnecessary. Just how we like it. *we're having a few issues with our new tech, bear with us, or is that bare with us
