In this week’s Tuck In Podcast, three sisters — Olive (the baby), Sandra (the middle one with a spoon in every pot), and Catherine (the eldest and clearly the one with all the rules) — dive headfirst into life’s great domestic dilemmas. This week: house habits, bodily functions, TV etiquette, rogue toenails, fart strategy, and why Catherine needs to loosen up.We kick off in familiar chaos, with Olive declaring the theme and Catherine already sounding sceptical. It starts innocently enough — discussing TV watching preferences — but very quickly spirals into movie narration crimes, with Sandra admitting she is the person who recites every word of Grease, much to the horror of her children. Catherine, meanwhile, just wants to watch Parenthood in peace and not be drowned in “sex, drugs and Tony Soprano’s nonsense” (even though she's nodding off through most of it anyway).And then it happens. The descent. A casual remark about not liking interruptions during movies segues into toenail clipping in the sitting room (Olive’s the offender), followed by forensic-level detail on farting protocols (public, private, accidental, malicious, and Dutch oven scenarios). Olive confesses to unleashing a New Year’s Eve silent but violent fart that framed her poor father-in-law. Catherine’s shocked. Sandra’s impressed. The listeners? Probably traumatised.Next? Sandra explains how to handle a toilet that won’t flush: fill a cup (preferably not the toothbrush holder) with sink water and keep pouring till it gives up. Catherine's solution? Just fish the poop out and bin it. Wrap it, zip it, flush it, don't discuss it... unless you're on this podcast, in which case it’s fully dissected.Then we detour to bedroom behaviour. Catherine, the queen of structure, believes the bed is for sleeping only. Olive, meanwhile, has had gravy dinners, wine, and possibly a full roast in her duvet fortress. Sandra claims her husband knows “jigsaw” means “spoon me,” while Olive reminds us it’s called spooning like the rest of society. Catherine? Firmly facing the wall. No snuggles. No crumbs. Possibly no soul.Car habits? You bet. Olive admits car washes terrify her (can someone guide her in?). Sandra's valet burned down and now her car lives in mild chaos. Catherine? Took a bollard-sized scratch out of a new car but somehow got a full replacement. (Car angels are real.)The episode ends with Sandra threatening to bring fried onions to Catherine’s bedroom just to watch her unravel, and Olive reflecting that we all just need to chill out, fart freely (but respectfully), and maybe not eat Yorkshire puddings in bed — unless it’s raining and you're feeling vulnerable.Follow:https://www.instagram.com/tuckinsisters/https://twitter.com/Tuckinsistershttps://www.tiktok.com/@tuckinsistersProduced by Graco Studioshttps://www.gracostudios.comhttps://twitter.com/gracostudioshttps://instagram.com/gracostudioshttps://tiktok.com/@gracostudios Hosted on Acast.

Flirty Jobs and Fitting In
Hold onto your fake Chanel brooches and lint rollers, people—because the Tucker sisters are BACK and this week they’re tackling the glamorous world of... job applications. That’s right. From spoofing CVs to licking envelopes for cash (yes, you read that right), it’s an episode full of job-hopping, belly-laughing, and questionable career paths.Olive kicks off the chat like the fabulous younger sister she is, warning the unemployed to swipe on. Catherine, the eldest and alleged workhorse, claims she’s never seen a dole queue in her life, while Sandra fondly reminisces about her days on “the Labour”—lie-ins, side gigs, and the thrill of maybe getting ratted on in the queue. Pure bliss.Next, the sisters spiral into a discussion on spoofing your way through job applications. Sandra admits she put enough A’s on her CV to make Einstein look like a dropout—despite having been gently escorted out of school for being more “Bit by Bit” dance routine than bookworm. Catherine swears she’s always been a grafter, with tales of coleslaw hand-mixing jobs and questionable office roles where she faked her way into typing tests with two-fingered fury.Olive, meanwhile, reveals she never really “worked” per se—more like jazz-handed her way through auditions. She may not know how to ride a horse or operate a jackhammer, but that didn’t stop her from telling casting directors she was practically a jockey/builder hybrid.Then there’s the infamous “massage job” Catherine landed—by spoofing her way in as a physiotherapist, despite being an ex-patient of the clinic. No credentials? No problem! Just rub, pat, and hope for the best.From Twink’s Barbie bootcamps to interior design aspirations fuelled by teal kitchens and “karate-chopped” cushions, this episode dives into every hilarious corner of the working world. There are corporate tales from Australia (where Sandra nearly got fired for being *too efficient*), office politics, and discussions on the etiquette of lunchtime crisp sharing. Spoiler: if you even look at Olive’s King crisps, she’ll shiv you with a biro.The episode rounds off with a toast to liquid lunches, some social media slander, and the reminder that even if your job is fake and your CV is 90% fiction, at least your brooch is shiny.So grab your stationery, pop on your fake Paris filter, and remember: a first impression is a lasting one—unless it smells like arse.Follow:https://www.instagram.com/tuckinsisters/https://twitter.com/Tuckinsistershttps://www.tiktok.com/@tuckinsistersProduced by Graco Studioshttps://www.gracostudios.comhttps://twitter.com/gracostudioshttps://instagram.com/gracostudioshttps://tiktok.com/@gracostudios Hosted on Acast.

Underwear, Outer Wear and Gym Wear
This week's episode of the Tuck In Podcast is nothing short of being: “Overdressed, Underdressed, and Everything In Between”. Featuring Olive, Sandra & Catherine – your favourite trio of truth bombs in activewear and opinions.In this gloriously chaotic episode, the Tucker sisters dive headfirst into the minefield that is fashion faux pas, from white socks to hairy toes and everything in between—literally.Kicking things off, Olive declares war on white socks, particularly when paired with black runners and tracksuit bottoms. She’s not holding back. She saw a man on the street and was nearly compelled to stage a public fashion intervention. Sandra tries to play devil’s advocate (“Maybe he was comfy!”), but Olive's already too deep. White socks outside the gym? Absolutely not. Fashion jail. No bail.Catherine, the eldest and chilliest, admits to wearing her husband's trainers (a size too big) just to avoid cleaning her own. She completes the look with a black coat that might be part invisibility cloak, part survival gear. Practicality: 10. Style: under review.Cue a deep, philosophical debate: comfort vs. fashion. Is it okay to wear gym gear if you haven’t been to the gym? Should leggings be worn without underwear? Do strapless bras belong in the bin? (Answer: Yes, especially if they migrate south mid-night-out.)The ladies air their laundry—literally and figuratively—ranting about bra straps peeking out, plastic “condensation holder” straps, and the deeply disturbing emergence of nude leggings that make passersby wonder, “Is she wearing anything at all?”Olive has a gym epiphany: she must “up her game” and gets herself a pair of fancy runners for Valentine's Day. Sandra questions the motive (“Are you a shepherd or a sheep?”), but Olive’s on a mission to look as good as she feels. Even if that means colour-coordinating her socks with the smell of fabric softener.Things spiral beautifully into the world of feet. From toenail shellac etiquette to toe extensions, the sisters leave no foot unroasted. Olive claims she could’ve been a foot model before her post-kid “wonky foot” era. Sandra reveals she shaves her toes, much to everyone’s delight/horror.Then the conversation... takes a turn. We’re talking hairy backs, nipple pads, and OnlyFans knickers. Yes, apparently used socks and pants are a booming side hustle. The girls are sceptical, horrified, and slightly intrigued.And just when you think it can’t get any wilder, Olive paints a picture of gripping onto a man’s hairy back mid-intimacy like she’s climbing Everest. Catherine loses it. Sandra can’t breathe. And listeners everywhere are trying to unhear what they've just heard.It’s fashion advice, hygiene tips, unsolicited confessions, and full-body laughter—all in one madcap episode. One thing’s for sure: these sisters have opinions, and they’re not afraid to wear them... even if they clash with their socks.Follow:https://www.instagram.com/tuckinsisters/https://twitter.com/Tuckinsistershttps://www.tiktok.com/@tuckinsistersProduced by Graco Studioshttps://www.gracostudios.comhttps://twitter.com/gracostudioshttps://instagram.com/gracostudioshttps://tiktok.com/@gracostudios Hosted on Acast.

Mother Knows Best
In this laugh-out-loud episode of Tuck In, the Tucker sisters—Olive (our fiery, fashion-forward youngest), Sandra (the ever-sensitive middle child with a side of sass), and Catherine (the fabulous eldest who isn’t afraid to huff and puff)—go full throttle on one of life’s greatest inevitabilities: getting old. Or as they like to say, becoming an OAP (Old Age Patriot, perhaps?).From the moment Olive announces they’re tucking into the topic of the “Elder Lemons,” it’s chaos. They dissect old wives’ tales like they’re on MythBusters. Cutting your hair on the first Friday of every month to make it grow? Drinking milk for the baby’s teeth while pregnant? According to Olive, Friday haircuts don’t communicate with your follicles, and babies don’t come out looking like Dracula. Sandra tries to defend tradition with a straight face, and Catherine drops in with her usual dose of dry realism.Cue the complaints about old habits: fixed mealtimes, portion sizes shrinking, and the sacred ritual of being early. Olive rails against being on time (or god forbid, late), while Catherine—Miss Punctuality herself—nearly self-combusts at the suggestion. Then there’s the great trolley debate: Olive refuses to touch one even if it’s designer, Catherine is proudly trolley-curious, and Sandra’s ready to lead the Trolley Parade in Tesco.The episode somehow turns into a deep dive on priests (Olive might have a type?), trendy clergy, and the “perks” of religious life: free house, free wine, no early starts. Somewhere along the way, we discover Catherine broke her telly with a rogue Christmas candle and denied it for days. Justice for the telly.Language blunders get their time to shine too. Between “giraffe” pronounced like “raft,” “Cardassians” instead of Kardashians, and “Crips” instead of crisps, it’s a miracle anyone knows what they’re talking about. They ponder whether they’re turning into their parents—and spoiler: they absolutely are. Sandra’s getting life-coachy, Catherine’s grounding the kids before they’ve left the house, and Olive’s busy trying to stop herself from morphing into her ma in a headscarf and open-toe slingbacks.Arguments? Of course. They cover fight styles—from silent treatments to storming off mid-huff. Catherine keeps her fury in a box (Pandora style), while Olive likes to act out seven full arguments in her head before making up. Sandra? She’s probably coaching everyone through it while simultaneously blaming someone.The episode wraps with a nod to aging wardrobes (bye-bye, six-inch heels, hello padded coats and orthopedic shoes), make-up realness, and a heartfelt—if slightly sarcastic—note on self-love. Olive won’t push a trolley, but she’ll push your buttons. Sandra wants receipts (literally), and Catherine just wants peace… and maybe a new telly.Follow:https://www.instagram.com/tuckinsisters/https://twitter.com/Tuckinsistershttps://www.tiktok.com/@tuckinsistersProduced by Graco Studioshttps://www.gracostudios.comhttps://twitter.com/gracostudioshttps://instagram.com/gracostudioshttps://tiktok.com/@gracostudios Hosted on Acast.

Red Mist Rising
The girls are back in town… and they’ve brought the madness with them!After a longer-than-planned break (because life, flu, and a few street brawls got in the way), the Tucker sisters — Olive, Sandra, and Catherine — are reunited and absolutely unhinged in the best way possible. From red mist rages to cock soup confusion, this comeback episode is the laugh you didn’t know you needed.It all kicks off with Sandra doing what she does best — bursting into unsolicited song — before Olive reminds listeners of Sandra’s tragic vocal history (think strangled cat, not Mariah Carey). From there, it’s straight into chaos as they discuss why it's taken so long to get the “band” back together. Life happened, but the main thing is — they’re here now, louder and more opinionated than ever.The theme of the day? The Red Mist — that blinding rage that turns even the calmest person into a fire-breathing lunatic. Catherine takes centre stage with a tale of her Croc-clad karate moment, protecting her 85-year-old dad from a hooded hooligan and his toothless girlfriend. There were flying bikes, screams, and the type of street justice only a protective daughter in Crocs can deliver.Not to be outdone, Sandra recounts her own Tesco tantrum, involving a gang of teenagers, a trolley, and a near-collision with a 12-year-old doing wheelies. We’re still not sure who was more traumatised — Sandra or the kid with bruised ankles.Olive, ever the picture of poise (ish), tells the story of when a grown man at a professional event called her the C-word — TWICE. Instead of flipping a table (which she desperately wanted to do), she channelled Michelle Obama and delivered the most dignified dressing-down we’ve ever heard. Honestly? Iconic.As if that wasn’t enough, things descend into madness when Sandra brings up unfortunate product names she’s found in English supermarkets — cock soup and ghee butter, anyone? Throw in some nipple fittings, flanges, and butt welding from her husband’s work lingo, and it’s full-blown innuendo overload.From menopause meltdowns to sisterly savagery, fake sympathy, real flu, and whether “liar” is more offensive than “waffler,” this episode covers it all. There’s even a theological moment where Sandra is likened to Lazarus — rising from her flu-bed with a red lip and a bit of tan, ready to rejoin the world.All in all, it's classic Tuck In chaos: hilarious, unfiltered, and totally relatable.Follow:https://www.instagram.com/tuckinsisters/https://twitter.com/Tuckinsistershttps://www.tiktok.com/@tuckinsistersProduced by Graco Studioshttps://www.gracostudios.comhttps://twitter.com/gracostudioshttps://instagram.com/gracostudioshttps://tiktok.com/@gracostudios Hosted on Acast.
