Stevie and Tessa’s excellent friend Ben Starr is only the bloody lead in Final Fantasy XVI, so he came in to a) explain how two people who are intimidated by gaming (and have only played the Sims) can ease themselves in and b) do his Clive voice which makes everyone both quite aroused and very uncomfortable.

Brilliant comedian and professional poker player Ken Cheng joins Stevie and Tessa to explain the extreme basics of poker as their nose's bleed. The perfect episode for anyone keen to play, who simply can't grasp the concept. Stevie asks excellent and helpful questions, and Tessa keeps whispering that she's a 'brother from Langley', a very niche reference to Casino Royale which nobody enjoys.

There's more! In the second part of this two-part episode, Stevie and Tessa discuss changes, improvements, tips, tricks, medication and the greater understanding of herself Tessa has developed since her diagnosis.

As a surprise to absolutely no one, turns out Tessa has ADHD! Who'd have thought it! Well some of you as it turns out, and god bless everyone who has messaged her over the years to say 'hello, not to intrude, but do you think you might have ADHD?' She does! You were completely right! The first part of this two part episode is a look at what ADHD is, what the diagnosis process looked like for Tessa, a lovely little 12 question quiz you can play along at home and a really long story about a moose....

Tessa has recently knocked down a wall (see: How to Understand What a Wall is ) and understands on a deeper level why everybody cries and gets divorced on Grand Designs. Turns out a renovation is much, much harder than she thought, and unfortunately involved much more effort than just buying a Barbie pink boiler suit and a large hammer.

Oooooh look at these fancy people with their fancy manicures! Oh la de dah! Stevie and Tessa have got into manicures.

After recording part 1, Stevie was inspired to freeze her eggs and, perhaps unsurprisingly if you’ve heard Stevie talk about things on the podcast before, found the whole thing emotionally overwhelming. To highlight how individual the process can be, she talks about her experience (and cries a bit) (but is ultimately ok!).
