Sisters in the City

This week we're joined by the person you've heard us mention a million times... our childhood best friend, we call her our cousin but she's basically the third Vakili sister! 🥹💕 Goli got sent the FUNNIEST and CRAZIEST voice-note you'll ever hear from a married man! Before that though we take a trip down memory lane, share some hilarious stories from growing up together, reveal our first impressions of each other, and put our 20+ year friendship to the test. We also chat about why she moved to Dubai, whether she'd ever go back, and tackle some of our biggest friendship and relationship hot takes. Expect laughs, honesty, nostalgia, and all the chaos that comes with getting the whole gang back together. 🫶✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We all dream of the perfect holiday... but what happens when everything goes spectacularly wrong? 😭✈️ This week, Mandi kicks things off by sharing her own holiday nightmare involving an unexpected late-night visitor in the bedroom that had her and Gingerbeard questioning everything... 👀 Then it's over to you guys as we react to your funniest, most unbelievable holiday horror stories. From arriving at a holiday villa with no electricity or running water, to realising your role on a hen do is basically being everyone's unpaid photographer, these stories prove that sometimes the biggest memories come from the biggest disasters. Pack your bags... and prepare to feel a whole lot better about your own holidays. 😂🌞 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Friendship dilemmas are here! We asked you to send us your biggest friendship dramas and, honestly, some of these stories had us completely torn 😭. From flaky friends and loyalty tests to fallouts, jealousy and friendships that have run their course, we're giving our honest opinions on what we'd do in each situation. There were plenty of moments that had us laughing, plenty that made us angry, and a few that genuinely divided us... and this is only Part 1 👀🍿 Join us on Patreon this Thursday for more! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time for a catchup! We get into the beauty disaster that completely ruined Anna's birthday trip and both of our lives for the next 6-8 weeks LOL... Research the procedure, not just the place! Then it's onto the Marbella girls trip, the surprise birthday setup, dress drama and the nights out. Anna also takes us through her actual birthday, which she spent the whole day with Cowslick, coffee-in-bed tradition and all! From there we discuss why we'd never lie about our age, and why we're honestly more excited for what's ahead than we've ever been 👀 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

🎂🥹 It's Anna's birthday... which, of course, means she's crying 😂😭. Would it even be her birthday if there weren't a few emotional tears? Mandi starts reading out her birthday message to Anna...which got so emotional we left the rest for the Besties ❤️ Mandi surprises her with something special on the podcast before we dive into your birthday stories. We asked you to send us your best and worst birthday experiences, and you definitely delivered! From birthdays that were complete disasters 🤦‍♀️ to a few heartwarming stories that restored our faith in birthdays 🥹🎉 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's the most delusional thing you've ever done for someone you're obsessed with? 😭💀 Before diving into your stories, we confess some of our own delusional moments and, honestly, we're not sure we're in any position to judge 😂🤦‍♀️. Then we read through your answers, which did NOT disappoint. From people admitting they literally ate sh*t 🤢 to paying the mortgage on a house they didn't even live in 🏠💸, the stories just got more unhinged as the episode went on. We laughed, we cringed, and we seriously questioned how far love (or delusion) can make people go 😂 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Does money really buy happiness? Before we get into the big debate, we catch up on what we've been up to recently and discover something hilarious… Anna and Cowslick, and Mandi and Gingerbeard, both ended up having a bickering match about the exact same thing while walking the dogs in the park 😭🦮 and neither couple knew the other had done it too 😅 We then dive into one of life's biggest questions: does money bring happiness? We asked you for your thoughts and read through your detailed responses, from people who believe money changes everything to those who think happiness can't be bought. The answers were thoughtful, surprising and sparked one of our most interesting discussions yet 👀✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we catch up on our Turkey trip to get our teeth done, our mum somehow managing to do ONE gym session before ending up in a wheelchair 😭, and our dad continuing his mission to embarrass us at every opportunity. Then it’s time for the ultimate sister showdown as we put our relationship to the test with a game of “Who Knows Who Better?” 👀 Armed with whiteboards, we both had to write down our answers at the same time! Plus, we dig out some iconic childhood footage that proves we were destined to be podcasters from day one! Performing fake adverts and chatting absolute nonsense in our bedroom like we already had our own show. Safe to say, not much has changed. 😂🎙️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dating horror stories are BACK… but not all of them ended in disaster 😭💀 We read through your wildest dating experiences, including one story that started as a complete nightmare before turning into a real-life fairy tale, ending with a woman meeting the husband of her dreams 🥹❤️ We also got into a fascinating (and slightly controversial 👀) debate about whether you should tell someone you're dating that you're trans, and when that conversation should happen. From shocking red flags to unexpected happy endings, this episode has a bit of everything 😂✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dilemmas are back and the men are not behaving 💀 This week we are feeling SNATCHED thanks to our magician Jessica 🤏 Anna updates on her hormone results 🙏 Mandy spotted her ex at 4:30am outside the club, Gingerbeard had one conversation with Cowslick and came home sleeping completely naked... suspect? We also debate who is the most famous person alive 👀 Then your dilemmas... a husband who borrowed £10k and said nothing, a man who cut off a girl for loving Taylor Swift, and a boyfriend whose ex is always in the group 🚩 ARE THERE ANY GOOD MEN OUT THERE?! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're 'celebrating' Arsenal winning the Premier League while Cowslick is FUMING and Gingerbeard acts like he personally lifted the trophy! 🏆 We also tackle two dilemmas including one where a MUM sent nudes to her daughter's boyfriend two years before they got together… umm WHAT?! 😭 Mandi then decided to share a dream about our own mum 😭 she was NOT happy about it bless her!💀 Somehow we end up deep in a conspiracy about AI taking over all our jobs, whether robots can actually replace us, Zuckerberg seeing everyone's nudes on the cloud ☁️ and Elon Musk having 14 kids... howwww does he do it?! Welcome back to Sisters in the City. Two brain cells. One podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we’re joined by James and Fuhad from ShxtsNGigs 🎙️😂 We finally sit down with the boys for a chaotic, hilarious episode where we get to know them, talk all about their upcoming tour, dive into some outrageous dilemmas, and end up doing the most unhinged roleplay scenarios 😭 From relationship debates to pure nonsense and nonstop laughs, this episode is chaos in the best possible way.

Welcome back to our new cosy space! We are still drooling over our new set and we hope you're as obsessed as we are! 💕 In this episode we get into some sisterly discussions about what is appropriate at "our age"...who said outfits and hairstyles had age limits? And then catch up on Anna's trip to Thailand, and how the time away with Cowslick made her closer to him, and furtherrrr away from her inner adventurous side. Let's just say bugs life isn't a movie she wants to be featured in. 😂 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

OMG… WE FINALLY DID IT. Welcome to the new era of SITC 💕 New chapter, new energy, and yeah… the grey had to GO. Say hello to soft girl, pink Persian persuasion, a little more mature, a little more DEMURE… but don’t get it twisted, the dark jokes and attitude aren't going anywhere 😈 Although a new space is exciting… it’s only right we break the set’s virginity and shed a few tears! 😭 Mandi has been going through a LOT behind the scenes these past few months, and she finally opens up... sharing the heartbreaking news about her pregnancy. This episode is a lot. New beginnings, but also real life hitting hard. 💔 Thank you so much to each and every one of you for being here with us, always, no matter what. We owe you everything!

This is our FINAL episode in the studio we’ve been in for the last 2 years 🥺🎙️Honestly… it feels surreal. Before we say goodbye to this era, we thought we’d go out with a chaotic, thought-provoking episode asking the ultimate question… are we actually good people? We put ourselves to the test with moral dilemmas like: 💸 If you found money on the floor… are you handing it in or keeping it? 👀 Are people only kind when someone’s watching? Next episode… brand new studio, brand new vibe, new era loading ✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week’s episode is a little softer, a little slower… and a lot more real 🤍 Mandi hasn’t been feeling her best lately, so we’re taking things down a notch and sitting down for a cosy, laid-back Q&A ☕️ Just honest chats, life updates, and the kind of conversations that feel like you’re catching up with your friends. We answer some questions from our Patreon besties 💕 including how and why our views have changed on getting married before having kids 👀 and dive into the realities of growing up, shifting priorities, and letting go of the timelines we once thought we had to follow. It’s personal, it’s reflective, and it’s one of those episodes where we just talk. If you love the more unfiltered, relaxed, deep chat episodes… this one’s for you 🤍 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nightmare in-laws... and when we say nightmare, we mean WHAT is going on??? 😭💀 This episode had us actually screaming because some of your stories are beyond unhinged. Like I’m sorry... a FATHER IN LAW asking to see your C-section scar??? 🚗 straight to jail immediately. No questions. We also get into some juicy facts because why is it scientifically proven that women have more drama with in-laws than men?? 🤨 and why is there lowkey competitive energy in the mix??? It’s giving... emotional chaos. If your in-laws are a bit of a 🚩, you will feel very SEEN in this episode. If they’re normal... just listen and be grateful 😭🙏😭 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we dive into the world of trolling! Starting with some very interesting facts (like trolls actually scoring higher in sadistic traits… which explains a lot 😳). Then we read your comments… and WOW 😭 From Mandi “hanging onto Anna’s dying fame” to us being called “the blind leading the blind”… we genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or be concerned 💀 A funny and slightly unhinged episode all about hate, the internet… and why some people just love to hate us 👀💋 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We kick things off with a recap of last week’s manosphere episode… and why a man who follows those guys might already be your next ex 🚩 Which brings us perfectly to this week: how to actually get over an ex. Breakups are messy, confusing, and sometimes a little humiliating, BUT we’ve got you. From fake funerals for your relationship to brutally honest “ick lists,” we’re sharing the chaotic but effective ways to detach, move on, and take your power back. If you want even more "tips", stories, and chaos, Part 2 will be on Patreon this week for our Besties 🎙✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What started as a quick chat somehow spiralled into a full deep dive into the Netflix documentary Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere. Yeah… we went there 😅 and naturally we had some messy thoughts to share. We end up breaking down some of the men featured, the messages they’re pushing, and asking the question we keep coming back to, why are these men like this? It’s chaotic, unfiltered, slightly unhinged at times... and very much one of those “how did we even get here?” conversations. Basically… a random chat that escalated. 🎙️✨ Hosted on Acast.
