Rein it In with Thom and Dunn

Christine Thom and Vic Dunn

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

We were just about to hit record when we got a call to whizz round to a bus stop with a first aid kit. We also took a sanitary towel fr any bleeds - Pro you know, and you've now got yourself an episode.We're having a go at Amazon for dropping the second series of Ride or Die, watch out on our socials. 'Pissed as a fart' is this week's words of the week, and Thom goes down the historical rabbit hole to work out how we got from pissed as a newt to pissed as a fart. Who knew. And can a fart even

We kick off with those toilet roll holders that feed you the tissue from the middle. Bliss when they work. Absolute crisis when they don't.Autumn and the aesthetic purchasing of shite - NOPE Dunn arrives with the revelation that’s pleasing to a menopausal woman; it surprisingly costs very little! Conversations on a girls' weekend away, and the frank comparison of body bits and how, at this stage of life, we're genuinely not arsed! There's a brand new segment too. FACT OF THE WEEK. Who knew.

We are absolutely fed up of this hot weather, and even more fed up of sweaty tits. We're calling it now: it should be illegal to wear a bra in anything over 28 degrees. And spare a thought for the poor G-cup ladies, they're basically running a personal sauna under without the need for coals.This week's anagram is "Fungal Membrane." See what words you can make from the letters, we managed "Flambe Gunman Ere," so the bar is not high. Apparently kids now think we're from the 1900s. Let us be clear,

This week, Dunn is discovering the joys of dog ownership, and no, it's not all fetch and cuddles. It's flies. So many flies. There's even a dance involved.Old Mrs Hackett does something absolutely diabolical in a supermarket car park. For the record, she is NOT a thief. Then the big question: are we too old for this now and are we too old to pretend we like certain things? Take the tracksuit. There's no way on earth we're going back to a proper Scouse tracky, and forward rolls and cart wheels

We're in, and so are you if you're reading this.From squeezing your partner's butt to release stress, to bunions helpfully pointed out by your mother, to what women actually want over 50, quiet restaurants please, and no, don't expect us to do that, it's not happening. Learn a few interesting facts from Dunn, including how carrying your bits in your bra like it's a trendy crossbody is somehow acceptable now. It isn't.

We recorded this one earlier in the week because the four of us are off to a spa on Friday. Yes, all four, us and the funny ones. Not funny in looks, you understand, purely in personality. So off we trot for a relaxing spa day, and we'll see how that goes, shall we. This episode is full of the usual hilarity, a few words you'll actually learn, and topics far too relatable for comfort. Including how bloody happy we are to be Generation X. We don't stand for any nonsense these days, and we genuinely

It's a warm June morning here in Shag Manor, and we've got all the good topics lined up, including the burning new question of Fairy porn. Yes, you read that right. And no, that's not hot.If you were single, would you? Have you ever spotted someone in the supermarket you really don't want to talk to and committed to full evasive manoeuvres until the next aisle, gives you up ? Or deliberately not answered your own front door, because you simply do not have half an hour of small talk in you today

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.

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

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?

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

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

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,

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

How old are we, really?One minute we’re off shopping for new Podcast equipment, the next we’ve lost a chunk of our lives in the M&S cheese section. Time theft? Absolutely. Regrets? None. We tackle the age-old debate of kebab before you drink, and yes, we’ve decided it’s actually the superior option. There are many reasons for this. Kebabee breath being just one, which leads us neatly into a story of its own. Thom is increasingly concerned that dry robes are replacing Crocs. Especially when worn

Then we hit Clump of Mash (why does no one understand this?) and immediately descend into laughter, including a strong detour into dingleberries, because of course we do.

We’re officially 2 years old, and it’s nearly Christmas — and as we all know, Thom is not a fan. She breaks down her festive loves (there are a few) and her loathes… including the annual tradition of her sitting on a pouffe while the rest of the family lounges on her comfy sofa. Pure joy.Dr Dunn has taken a deep dive into adult soft-play centres and whatever on earth new mums are banging that drum ON! We also ask the big questions, like: do YOU know what a doodlesack is?

Episode Fifty. Half a century of chat. Thank you for following, listening and sticking with us. Two years on, and we finally feel like we know what we are doing. Sort of.We dip into Celeb Jungle this week. Plenty of fun and giggles and, gibsville moments aside, it is actually quite warming. Nice people together. Something we all seem to need right now. We also ask the big life questions. Would you wear a tabard? And if not, what about Sketchers? Or tracky bottoms. Or the classic polo shirt. Fashion

The dog was a dick from the start. But we’ve realised, after listening to other people’s podcasts (even the famous ones), that everyone seems to have a dickhead dog barking at a leaf or two outside their window. Ours finally settles, Thom finally sits down, and Dunn can at last talk about failure; falling off the pre-diabetic wagon and wondering if blueberries and Greek yoghurt might taste better with a few Celebrations on top. It’s nearly Christmas after all.Thom’s not feeling festive, though. If
