Today on Unfiltered Charlize Theron is bragging about her one night stand with a 26yr old. Would you? Could you be bothered?

One woman’s Spanish getaway takes a very public turn when her friend faces a roadside toilet emergency—with no loo in sight and a car full of horrified (and hysterical) mates. Think Top Gear meets perimenopause panic. Unforgettable, unfiltered, and just a

Unfiltered - Babybels in the bra and Bendover Tuesdays

40ish ·

2025/07/29

Today on Unfiltered; Nicole is asked if she can really trust Lauren and has us all asking: What exactly are “Bendover Tuesdays?” Lauren is close to meltdown as she attempts to tackle paperwork at midnight. One woman cannot keep up with the ravenous appetites of her children who are ransacking the cupboards during the school holidays and the ladies report on a recent study showing that midlifers are really stepping it up in the bedroom - well, they try to, but they are interrupted by a teenager who

Blood Tests, Sexy Exes and Husbands Hiding in the Loo

40ish ·

2025/07/24

This week on 40ish, Lauren and Nicole ponder how many more blood tests they can possibly endure before qualifying as human pin cushions (answer: It’s a lot welcome to midlife!). Meanwhile, a listener takes umbrage at her husband’s suspiciously long (and very conveniently timed) bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, a woman debates whether to rekindle things with an old flame who slid into her DMs like it’s 2005. Should she message back… or just block and bless? Tune in for all the midlife drama, unsolicited

Nip Slips Bowel Pics and Jacket Potatoes

40ish ·

2025/07/17

This week on 40ish, things get a little… exposed. Literally. A listener shares a pool party nip slip in Ibiza that was witnessed by her ex, a teenager with a phone, and an 81-year-old with very good eyesight. Meanwhile, Nicole is wrestling with her Glastonbury FOMO (or is it actually JOMO?), and Lauren can only recall one thing from her own Glasto days - a jacket potato she ate in 1997. Iconic. A listener wants to know the rules on family WhatsApp groups after a dilemma that involves a colonoscopy

2025/07/15

On today’s unfiltered: Nicole is devastated to discover she’s been sold a “special needs” padel racket. Could it be that she’s not the epic padel demon of her dreams on court? Meanwhile, Lauren’s hanging with her spiritual friends The Golden Girls. Why can we remember every lyric from 1998 but not the one crucial thing we were supposed to do this morning? Her solution? Writing reminders directly on her arms. It's giving desperate. It's giving resourceful. It's giving ink-stained. Plus, a listener

BBQ, Birdwatching and Bedroom Antics

40ish ·

2025/07/10

This week on 40ish: Lauren has a keen interest in birdspotting, because nothing screams midlife like getting excited about tits… the feathered kind. Meanwhile, Nicole is experiencing a full-blown sandal crisis—too strappy, too orthopedic, not enough ankle support, why is summer footwear so emotionally taxing? One listener is sweltering through a heatwave, but her husband’s libido is showing no signs of cooling down. She’s hot, bothered, and not in a good way. Cold flannel, anyone? And what exactly

Unfiltered- Dropped Pins, Disappointed friends and...

40ish ·

2025/07/08

On today's unfiltered: Nicole is in need of directions - literally and Lauren’s attempt to rescue her using a dropped pin goes just about as well as you’d expect. Spoiler: it makes everything worse, mostly because she is too busy being chatted up by a stranger to assist. Elsewhere, Lauren is in full-on meltdown mode after trying (and, let’s be honest, failing) to install an automated watering system—aka a classic Blue Job gone rogue. Plus, we’ve got a listener’s meltdown as she involves herself in

Botox, Bras and Bunions

40ish ·

2025/07/03

This week on 40ish: Nicole fears that she has aged out of Botox. What is a woman to do if you can't afford the full Kris Jenner facelift? Meanwhile, Lauren is freeing the nipple for comfort, feminism and because it’s too damn hot. Over in listener land, one of you has questions about feet (we’re cautiously intrigued), while another is dealing with a passive aggressive friend - and we all know the first rule of Passive Aggressive Club is... oh whatever, it doesn’t matter. It’s sweaty, saggy, and

2025/07/01

Today on Unfiltered we are serving hormones, humiliation, Hollywood heartthrobs, and 14th-century pandemics. Lauren has forgotten where she parked the car and Nicole is speechless after hearing someone under 23 declare themselves “Old!” A doctor gets ambushed by a surprise period while wearing a white dress (because thank you perimenopause) and the ladies ponder how they'd react if George Clooney handed them a cappuccino (spoiler: they would have to check he had sweetener), and there's an unexpected

Beachwear, Baggage and Mummy’s Boys

2025/06/26

This week on 40ish: Nicole is on a bikini rampage. Will she find the perfect two-piece, or is it time to just set the girls free and go full Euro-topless? Meanwhile, Lauren is locked in mortal combat with a new TV setup, and frankly, the HDMI cable might win. A listener wonders: is it weird to take your own pillow on holiday? And another writes in about a full-grown mummy’s boy. We say: Oedipus, schmeedipus — as long as he’s not still breastfeeding, it’s fine. Join us for questionable wisdom,

Unfiltered - Jeans, Genes, and Generational dread

40ish ·

2025/06/24

Father’s Day Fail, Ozempic and the Tupperware Fairy

Meanwhile, one listener is fed up being lied to by her friend about being on Ozempic (We all know green tea does not make you lose two stone!) and another woman is in a Tupperware stand-off with her mother-in-law. She knows it’s petty - but she wants it back. It’s midlife dilemmas, pet peeves and the usual

Unfiltered - Printers, Posing Nude and Psycho spritzing

40ish ·

2025/06/17

Today on unfiltered, Lauren flirts with the idea of posing nude for a painting in Paris (but only if it’s giving “airbrushed Kate Winslet on the Titanic” vibes.) Nicole wonders what she could have achieved in life if she weren’t professionally chained to her kitchen like a countertop spritzing psycho. A listener nominates herself for the weekly Midlife Meltdown Award after a printer breakdown nearly pushes her over the edge - and we ask the question: is a Live, Love, Laugh mug just a passive

Jesus, Foreplay and Flirting in the banana aisle

40ish ·

2025/06/12

This week on 40ish: Lauren finds her kindred spirit in the banana aisle of the supermarket and has worried herself into a hole about where on earth Nicole will park when they go to Mel Robbins live show. Nicole is feeling super smug after securing a parking space right next to the venue and proving her wrong. One listener wants to know after 22 years of marriage if an elbow nudge to the ribs counts as acceptable sex initiation from her husband (spoiler: she’s not thrilled). Meanwhile, a girl gang’s

Face Age, Neck Rage and Bladder Fails

40ish ·

2025/06/05

This week on 40ish: Nicole discovers the scientifically calculated age of her face - and she's not thrilled. Meanwhile, Lauren sustains the most 40ish injury possible: she hurts her neck... in her sleep. A listener asks whether dating a man on two wheels is a red flag or just midlife logistics, and a 48-year-old gym-goer is left mortified (and damp) after an unfortunate incident in front of her trainer. It’s midlife and it ain't glamourous. To buy tickets for our live show in October click here:
