Crumbly Cookies Are a Fail, Fruit in Cake Is a NO & Sav's Rants
Episode 25 of Downtime with The Dicksons and we're back with more questionable opinions, big rants and plenty of nonsense!
Our son has officially turned ONE! It's been a busy week celebrating with family and friends, going swimming, visiting his great-gran and grandad, and now trying to get the house back to normal! It's back to the gym for Sav and back to work for Gee. But why does it take so long to get back into a routine after annual leave?
This week on the pod:
Hot Takes — Gee thinks Crumbl Cookies are an absolute fail. Fight her on it! Sav reckons chunks of fruit have absolutely NO place in a cake. Agree or disagree?
Catch-Up — Sons first birthday celebrations, swimming, family visits and trying to get life back to normal after a busy weekend!
Rants — Why do companies give you a USB cable but NOT the plug?! Sav went on a proper rant And Gee wants to know why keyboards and mice still need batteries instead of being rechargeable!
Snack Review — The BIG DADDY M&S Pistachio Chocolates! We both enjoyed them, but Sav wasn't keen on giving them a score out of 10. The Yuka score? Just 10/100!
Listener Shoutouts — Huge thanks to the listeners who gave us advice about nighttime nappies and helped solve the ongoing bottle saga! Turns out, you lot know your stuff!
Sav's Random Thought — Do you have a specific volume number you ALWAYS use in the car or on your TV? Sav wants to know your numbers!
Plus listener comments and more opportunities for YOU to get involved.
Got a hot take? A rant? A random thought? Tried a snack we NEED to review? Send it our way! We want your opinions, your stories and anything that'll get us arguing on the podcast.
