From a Brisbane house party tragedy to a miraculous Disney cruise rescue — we unpack two wild headlines that had us stunned.This two-part episode of Wine Chats: Chatterbox Edition takes you on an emotional rollercoaster as we break down two headline-making stories, one tragic, one unexpectedly heartwarming.In part one, we talk about the shocking Brisbane incident where a 15-year-old allegedly stabbed his father at a house party. With media reports being vague and details scarce, we ask the tough questions:What drives a teen to commit parricide?Is social media, mental health, or modern parenting to blame?How do we keep our own kids safe — and sane — in today’s world?In part two, we lighten things up with a near-tragedy aboard a Disney cruise ship, where a 5-year-old girl fell overboard, and was miraculously rescued by her father. We talk parental instincts, cruise safety protocols (hello, MOB procedures), and whether we’re too judgy… or not judgy enough.Note: Since this episode was recorded, it has emerged that the child climbed over the railing while the parents were playing a game nearby — not that the father had placed her on the railing for a photo, as was originally reported. Thankfully, the dad did jump in immediately to rescue her.From gut-wrenching news to a viral rescue that actually restores your faith in humanity, this episode will make you think, laugh (uncomfortably), and maybe hold your kids a little tighter.🙌 Don’t forget to:✔️ Subscribe for weekly, unfiltered takes on parenting, pop culture and breaking news. ✔️ Comment below — what do YOU think is going wrong with today’s youth? ✔️ Follow us @winechatspodcast on Instagram & TikTok for behind-the-scenes chaos.🚨 Exciting updates coming your way!Join our mailing list so you don’t miss out: winechatspodcast.com💬 Got thoughts on this episode?

This week on ChatterBox, we’re raising a glass to our very handy husbands, the ones who fix, lift, build, and sort all the man jobs without breaking a sweat.But it got us thinking... should we maybe know how to do a few of those things ourselves?From small tasks to everyday stuff we’ve never learned (because, well, why would we?), we’re chatting about the balance between appreciating our partners’ skills and doing it ourselves instead.It’s funny, honest, and might just inspire you to finally learn how to use that drill… or at least know where it’s kept.🚨 Exciting updates coming your way! 🚨Join our mailing list so you don’t miss out: winechatspodcast.com💬 Got thoughts on this episode?
