Three-year-old Saylor in the UK was convinced that there were monsters in her wall – her parents not so much after realizing she’d just spent the weekend watching Monsters Inc.

We love Fitzy’s family story and this one about what Hewie did to become the most popular guy at his school is no exception. Plus we’re talking about how long you should be sitting/standing/exercising according to scientists to live a long and healthy life and Wippa thinks it’s disgraceful.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bless Fitzy’s mother-in-law and her cotton socks, she’s shared a hilarious Facebook post with him over the weekend after her birthday to prove she’s still got it.

After we all defined what a "ghosty" was, Kate started telling us a story of a conversation she had with a medium during a sad moment at a cafe. Resident skeptic Fitzy was not a fan but came around at idea of a ghost butler...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We love men! A man has confessed to cheating on his girlfriend only moments before proposing to her, and for many years prior. But it doesn’t count right because it only counts once you put a ring on it. Anyway! We also give an update on Bonza airlines and the crazy bonza banana news that it’s gone into administration, plus we talk all about an Aussie kid who is now a millionaire after successful fishing trip.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kate shares that narcissists and sociopaths are more likely to make you feel like there’s a spark between the two of you and it’s how they suck you in. Yikes. Stay safe out there love birds. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fitzy was given a huge award over the weekend for his achievements in Little Athletics which doesn’t make sense because Fitzy is 7 foot tall. His sons were not impressed and spent the entire ceremony trying to slide down the stair railing or falling asleep. We love Hewie and Lenny but someone needs to let them know they are in the presence of athletic greatness!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
