This week we’re joined by the fabulous Gina Daly of The Daly Dish, fresh off the launch of her fourth cookbook : Airfryer! But this episode goes beyond the kitchen. We chat about the realities of life online from juggling social media and family life, to dealing with the not-so-sparkly side of internet fame. Gina opens up about the importance of kindness, staying grounded, and why being a decent human matters more than likes or follows.Of course, we couldn’t resist a little foodie chat too because who doesn’t love a good dish and we ask Gina to Glow up or Blow up some things!Grab your drink or dish of choice and get ready for the good ole chats!

Let’s just say... Mark, Paul & Lisa (@lisapotterdixon) have been more than once, and each trip gets wilder than the last. From €1,000 roulette wins to lying on the floor talking to puppies (don’t ask), Vegas has served us glamour, grit, and a few cold showers of shame.We’re talking dream 24-hour itineraries, our fave hotels (Cosmo vs. Caesar’s: the eternal debate), and whether classic Vegas moments — like pool parties, bottle service, and Elvis weddings — are still a glow up or a total blow up.Because what happens in Vegas? Gets unpacked here. 💅

They even have a TV Show about its creation!From the pink flamingo dreams of Palm Springs to a rogue check-in at the wrong hotel (Paul…), this queer honeymoon had it all.

We’re breaking down what’s on our screens right now, what you need to catch up on (yes, even if you’re late to the Bridgerton ball), and what shows are completely overrated. Sorry Severance, you had your moment and we’re still confused.And of course, we’re paying homage to the comfort food of TV — the rewatches that never let us down.

If you’re not watching Hacks, what are you even doing?
