Time To Say Goodbye

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 10:58:13 GMT

A little Paris nostalgia for ‘vin chaud’, as we contemplate our success rate on Race Across The World over a glass of red wine. Mother volunteers as ambassador of a luxury barge holiday (with Joanna Lumley in tow) and signs herself up for Big Brother, before reacting to a royal break in. We reveal this week’s reaction and we sorrowfully say so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye.

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 11:55:17 GMT

A martini in hand as Mother becomes familiar with the Spanish version of ‘opening hours’ and daughter refuses some tacky entrance fees as she becomes reacquainted with ‘night life’.

The Psychology of a Sundress and Ben & Jen on The Rocks

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 16:15:59 GMT

Summer is here and so are the Malibu cocktails! A trip to Granada involved several perplexities during the scavenger hunt for tapas and Mother faced her fears of mountainous heights (also known as small hills). We decode the ‘sundress phenomenon’ and Mother shares her thoughts (grand speculations) on the Ben and Jen news.

The Scary Realism of Robotic Homes and The Katherine Asplundh Instagram Scandal

Wed, 22 May 2024 20:48:08 GMT

Cancer Conspiracy Theories, Mother’s Affair and The Amy Winehouse Movie

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 16:28:32 GMT

Mother kicks of this week’s podcast with a hefty rant at writers, calling out Cancer Research and proposing a rather controversial conspiracy theory…

Nonetheless, Mother perks up, dishing the dirt on a past love affair whilst poorly attempting to advise a dear listener on his relationship conundrum before re-casting Lady Gaga for the new Amy Winehouse biopic ‘Back to Black’.

Kanye West for Dinner and a Terrorism Snapchat

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 18:14:29 GMT

It doesn’t take long for Mother to feel a Moscow Mule, this week’s double strength cocktail, as she makes her anti-feminist opinions known as we discuss men and whether or not all Italian men are guilty of triple-texting. Bomb threats on EasyJet, Kanye West fashion reaction and censorship of his wife’s ‘imaginative’ choice of dress all lead to a typical belligerent retort from Mother.

Where is Kate Middleton?

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 14:09:29 GMT

The 2024 Oscars recap is cut short as we go down the rabbit hole of UK government security questions. Mens’ jewellery choices are ranked for acceptability, which escalates to Mother’s repulsion of male nail polish and finally, Mother gets enraged about Kate Middleton's 'disappearance' and 'that' doctored family photograph!

A Trip to A&E and Princess Beatrice's Converse Controversy

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 16:50:30 GMT

A warm welcome to Season 3 as the ladies try Monkey 47 gin for the first time in a classic Negroni. The week’s recap consists of blacking out and accidentally taking a bath in acid. Mother’s blood boils at Student Loan ‘sharks’. Followed by a topic that potentially divides the nation; should there be a designated ‘booker’ in a relationship? Mother reacts to the award ceremony that robbed Saltburn and finally, when we inevitably arrive at Mother’s Royal Reaction; how the press put a price on Princess Beatrice’s curling shoe of choice.

Was Victoria Beckham's Pregnancy Excitement Behind David's World Cup Red Card?

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 13:18:33 GMT

A fresh rum daiquiri welcomes the final episode of Season 2. As Mother and Daughter discuss the fantastic Netflix documentary: Beckham, they question Victoria’s behaviour during the 1998 World Cup. Somehow a debate is fired up; is junk food or alcohol more harmful? Daughter publicizes a dating experience with an entrepreneur who advocated a daily joint to be healthier than a glass of red wine and Mother’s secret drunken experiences are exposed. A question from the listener gets the ladies discussing relationship ethics (and a stealthy job-robbery), before Mother gets irate over Taylor Swift (apparently not a Swiftie) and thinks that Michael Jackson may have performed at the 2024 Super Bowl. Yet again, the episode ends with Mother filling us in on the latest from Buckingham Palace.

Is Rishi Sunak Alright?

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 15:27:55 GMT

Mother enjoys a very out-of-season Rum Coconut Punch whilst daughter suffers her final week of Dry January with a rather horrible 0% Gin & Tonic. Mother recounts her unfortunate chemistry experiment of accidentally overdosing on Vitamin C before discussions turn to email etiquette and the latest American suggestion to add salt to a cup of tea: disrupting the status quo of England and reigniting the battle between Americans and Brits. Mother and daughter then grandly deliberate over the simplicity of men and why women have night terrors but men dream of sausages, before ‘Mother Reacts’ to Rishi Sunak’s allusion to women being drafted to war.

Tummy Massages and a Very Angry Queen Elizabeth

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 22:09:40 GMT

Whilst Daughter continues with Dry January, Mother does not participate and heads straight for a strong Harvey Wallbanger to open this week’s episode. Cocktail hour was dedicated to a very special Mr Biscuits (@mrbiscuitsthetripod); the cocktail connoisseur cat with three legs and a penchant to drink out of miniature cocktail glasses. Self-care was the topic of the week, as Daughter recounts her recent spa trip and wonders whether tummy massages are normal or not, before Mother steps into the ring to detail her disappointment in men (again); this time, the men found foraging in dating apps. Even a Stanley Tucci look-a-like didn’t make the cut. Finally, some palace gossip arose as ‘Mother Reacts’ to current revelations that the late Queen was rather livid over Harry and Meghan’s robbery of her name ‘Lillibet’. Mother goes on yet another royal rant before she hesitantly enlists Daughter as her personal trainer (lesson one still pending a start), as she found herself hanging upside down on an armchair.

Overbearing Mother-in-Laws & Our Christmas Police Rescue

Wed, 03 Jan 2024 18:53:21 GMT

Happy New Year! Ringing in 2024 with a hot Aperol Punch (of which Mother found necessary to wash down with a vodka…). A little recap of Mother and Daughter’s ‘Friendsmas’ in Sevilla; a very international affair featuring food from around the world and some Santa Bingo. The movie of the 2023 festive season, Saltburn, was discussed and concluded that it is certainly not for the faint hearted. A listener question opens up the topic of the burden of mother-in-laws… however Mother aggressively takes the M-I-L side (of course) whilst Daughter offers some more sound advice. An unfortunate car break-down leads to two miraculous police officers rescuing two damsels in distress (one damsel sports a black velvet opera jacket for such rescue and royal escorting back to the hotel). Finally, ‘Mother Reacts’ to tattoos as wedding favours and reflects fondly of the time she demanded Daughter’s ex-boyfriend to get laser tattoo removal.

The Paris Recap & Some Hysterical Christmas Carolling

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 12:56:03 GMT

This week, Mother and Daughter return from Paris and spill all the details of their festive trip, over a glass of mysteriously spicy Swedish Glögg as this week’s Christmas cocktail. Mother’s Love Language test results are in and rather surprising, as discussions turn to marriage proposals, women taking the reins and whether love really is enough in an incompatible relationship. Keeping it festive, Daughter introduces Mother to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Gift Guide, which ignites some harsh words from Mother over items such as the glass escargot picks, a gong and a vase that resembles a toilet, before absolute chaos and mayhem ensues as Mother becomes increasingly frustrated at their imperfect Christmas carolling. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our team to yours!

Vegan Universities and Regenerating Love Languages

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 14:34:45 GMT

The pretty pink ‘Alfonso’ played the lead role in this week’s cocktail, as Mother and Daughter discuss the highs and lows of their week; a temper-tale about parcel deliveries and a petition to abolish QR coded menus before Mother reveals her ability to lucid dream, tries to find out her Christmas present and requests to register for open casting auditions for HBO. A question from a listener arouses debates over budget-friendly Christmas gifts (Mother does not approve and still requires Tiffany diamonds). Romance dies a little as Mother disapproves of the Love Language Test and curates her own, issues of jealousy at ballroom dancing result in a split result, before ‘Mother Reacts’ to the new vegan movement at the University of Warwick.

The Thanksgiving Episode

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 18:37:01 GMT

The bartender was put to work this week, with two separate cocktails to sip through episode 4. A ‘Tequila Hot Toddy’ for the sick patient (Mother) and a ‘Tequila Siesta’ for Daughter (avoiding the temptation of yet another ‘Margarita’). An attempt at softening last week’s blow towards Batshit Bonkers Britain was unsurprisingly overshadowed by some royal pandering of the Prince and Princess of Wales, before topics turned to this year’s GQ Man of The Year and the Latin Grammys FOMO (narrowly missing the likely chance of becoming best friends with Shakira). ‘Man of the moment’ Paul Hollywood was under scrutiny, whilst David Beckham remains a top contender on Mother’s list of ‘lovely men’, before ‘Mother Reacts’ to a TTWMS staple; Meghan Markle! Yes indeed, Mother gets her knickers in a twist again.

Snowflake Society: The Christmas M&S Controversy

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 16:15:28 GMT

A sugar-crystal rimmed ‘Chicago’ makes its debut as this week’s cocktail, as Mother and Daughter discuss their recent trip to Cannes and navigating the stereotypical ‘rude’ French culture. Concerns over the current societal ‘snowflake’ era are discussed, whereby the concept of ‘microaggression’ is debated and Mother questions the sanity of our population. An interlude of panic arises over Mother’s thighs before ‘It’s Raining Men’ ignites yet another lesson for Mother on pop culture, plus a plea for Lady Gaga and Mother to become BFFS. Elon Musk’s ‘AI World Takeover’ is discussed before ‘Mother Reacts’ to the UK controversy over Marks & Spencer’s Christmas advert (pulled for reasons of Palestinian-flag-‘micro-aggression’…).

Gen Z pop culture is not Mother Approved.

Thu, 26 Oct 2023 20:01:19 GMT

This week, the viral ‘Negroni Sbagliato’ trend is improved with a generous splash of gin, before the ladies recount their equally-boozy dinner at a rather fancy restaurant. Listeners are also gifted with the tale of Mother’s recent behaviour with – not one but two - handsome Spanish customs officers (rather surprisingly, she didn’t end up in handcuffs). ‘It’s Raining Men’ sees Mother completely forget how to play the game and discussions digress to Liz Jones’ relationship and the concept of ‘not accepting settling’. Naturally, topics of celebrity relationships arise (both Timothee Chalamet / Kylie Jenner and Travis Kelce / Taylor Swift’s relationships are in the firing line) and ‘Mother Reacts’ to some Gen Z slang.

Rage Against the Russell Brand Scandal

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:39:24 GMT

Welcome to Series 2! Marking the occasion with a Ponce de Leon cocktail (essentially a deadly mix of wine and spirits), the weekly recap includes the importance of friendships and a little argument over who has the most books… (‘library wars’ coming soon). Switching our second segment up a little, Mother and Daughter play ‘It’s Raining Men’ – whereby unfortunately a clueless-Mother struggles to identify Justin Timberlake. Of course, what is The Travelling with Mother Show if it doesn’t include the controversial topic of the month? Naturally, ‘Mother Reacts’ to the accusations against Russell Brand and yes, it’s a fiery one.

Champagne Problems (& other troubles)

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 09:03:23 GMT

Episode 10 is a cause for celebration! Obviously, nothing less than champagne will do for this week’s beverage of choice, as Mother describes the 1,145 miles of driving that ended us up in a Western film set. Daughter gets touchy on the subject of changing plans and the ‘everything shower’, before Hugh Bonneville and The Weeknd make it to the podcast for ‘He’s a Ten’! Finally, ‘Mother Reacts’ to Marc Broussard, the Luis Rubiales ‘kiss-gate’ update (very invested in this, apparently) and her thoughts on the ex-soldier who escaped from Wandsworth prison.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gerard Butler's Socks

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 15:25:35 GMT

A refreshing Limoncello Spritz serves as this week’s tipple (not one of our favourites, it seems), as Mother tries to convince the audience that daughter has the hots for the Amazon delivery man. A complaint about hip pain is addressed before ‘He’s a Ten’ discussions get heated; Topless Tens, tardiness and Gerard Butler in pop socks. To end episode 9? Well, ‘Mother Reacts’ to the controversial Luis Rubiales ‘kiss-gate’ news, of course.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mother the Model Scout

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 16:14:36 GMT

Finally cracking open the Aperol for this week’s cocktail; the crowd-pleasing Aperol Spritz. Mother has a crime drama recommendation for everyone, before daughter reveals the ‘big news’ of the month (a few terrifying moments ensue, whereby mother’s slightly assertive opinions almost make it to the final cut). ‘He’s A Ten’ sees Mother pre-select the eligible bachelors for daughter to choose from and ‘Mother Reacts To’ Neymar’s new yearly income after signing with Al Hilal Football Club, before closing the episode with a little trip back to our Angelina Jordan reaction days (for the OG fans!)

Pheromones - A Lesson in Chemistry

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 17:39:00 GMT

Another tequila tirade, as the ‘Rosita’ makes its way into mother and daughter’s lengthy list of cocktails. On this week’s episode; daughter recounts her latest concerts, of which mother makes her distaste known. ‘He’s a Ten’ introduces the very-Gen-Z concept of ‘Roadmen’ to mother before the topic of ‘drinking and driving’ gets a touch morbid and mother gets utterly confused about pheromones. Mother also reacts to the offense of the colour ‘taupe’ and, of course, a royal scandal.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's All Gone Sarong

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 10:59:45 GMT

An experimental ‘Ti Punch’ cocktail took a while for mother’s tastebuds to adjust to, as discussions branch from mother and daughter’s latest trip to the surfing town of Tarifa, to the universal beach etiquette of personal space. This week’s ‘He’s a Ten’ lands them in dangerous territory, as comparisons are made between E-Sports gamers and strippers and lastly, ‘Mother Reacts to’ the slightly sensitive topics of climate change and actors becoming models – apparently a very offensive career move. Take note, A-listers.

Tinder Part 2: An Exotic Exhibition

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 15:03:42 GMT

This week’s cocktail of choice is the trusty Negroni, as mother and daughter recap life’s hurdles (skin purging girls unite!) before discussing the latest social happenings at Wimbledon. Guilty of a little segue to fangirl over Schitts Creek, mother then brings us back to tell us about a very scary dating profile, before sharing her strong opinions on men’s cologne and hamburger etiquette in this week’s ‘He’s a Ten’.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Tinder Experiment

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 15:19:37 GMT

This week kicks off with a mocktail (apologies in advance for such sobriety) as mother and daughter discuss the daylight robbery of British taxis. ‘He’s a Ten’ goes a touch ‘off-piste’, as mother takes the wheel on a dating app, instantly swiping left on any male that does not display a 10 out of 10 dating profile. Not to worry, she’s ready with plentiful advice for these men that fall short. Glastonbury becomes the centre of this week’s ‘Mother Reacts To’, as mother shares her thoughts on mud, camping and the Portaloo.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The King's Coronation

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 15:39:54 GMT

A strawberry margarita is this week’s cocktail of choice, as mother teaches everyone a spot of grammar and gets a little confused over the modern language of inclusivity and genders. ‘He’s a Ten’ gets gritty about ‘the other woman’ (and our intuition) and men who wear Pandora bracelets (Jack Sparrow vibes) before the topic of The King’s Coronation becomes this week’s ‘Mother Reacts to’

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tequila Eye Baths

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 14:30:49 GMT

Another round of wittering is in store this week. Tequila in hand (and accidentally in eye) as Instagram ads are in the firing line of mother’s rants, whilst unravelling Gwyneth Paltrow’s court case is found to be a challenge. The ladies also discuss their dream men (Henry Cavill and Jude Law are at the top this week) as table manners and lads’ holidays are among the imperfections discussed in this week’s ‘He’s a Ten’.

The Pilot Episode

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 18:08:28 GMT

The birth of 'The Travelling with Mother Show' starts with a Sidecar cocktail (strong, apparently) as mother reveals the household poltergeist (Mr P), gossips about Harry and Meghan (blood pressure: arisen) and propositions some 'buts' to assist daughter in looking for the perfect Ten (think 'Channing Tatum taking the bins out in slippers'). (Episode 1 is a pilot episode)
