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.
