Babs recounts her chaotic stay in a fancy Singapore hotel where her toddler caused a five foot floral and water disaster. Dad's confession is equal parts heat warming and horrifying: keeping the family cat, in the fridge for a final farewell, while spinning an increasingly tangled web of lies about the feline's untimely demise. And Gez's golf holiday prank on his forgetful mate with a fictional Spanish romance, doesn't go too well with his wife. Plus the Not For Broadcast Section debates questionable brownies and special sauce. We also talk shame stain colour theory and Matt's perfect Christmas gift.It's a wild ride of redemption, laughs and the occasional feline wizard. Don't miss it!
