How do budgies have it off? Is it OK to fancy your father in-law? And what one thing should you always do when pooing at someone else's house? Answering all these questions is the hilarious comedian Jarred Christmas! ​

Yes, that is his real name, and if you think that's funny wait till you hear what the rest of his family is called. He tells us about growing up on a military base, being buddies with Hugh Jackman, and embarrassing himself in front of Tom Cruise. 


We discuss why Jarred is disappointed in his kids for not swearing, and his hatred of golf. Plus: are cats c***s? 


NB: Sorry about the budgie noises, especially at the beginning - they do settle down a bit, honest. 


Do go and see Jarred and Hobbit's brilliant show, The Might Kids Beatbox Comedy Show - "It's the best kids' show I've ever seen," says Ellie, and she's seen a lot of that shit. Dates and tickets are over at mightykidsbeatboxcomedy.com.

There's some chat about the benefits of strength training, and why having goals isn't always a good thing. Plus, if Ellie's an onion, how come Helen is a banana? Tune in to find out.

Oh hi there! Don't know if she's mentioned it, but Helen's done a book! It's called Get Divorced, Be Happy and it's out on 29 July. We thought we'd sit down, just us chickens, and have a good old chat about it.

Find out how writing the book helped Helen to heal, and how she couldn't have done it without the aid of good friends, supportive kids, and Deliveroo. Plus, Ellie discusses how she generously contributed a whole chapter to the book, and why it's the best bit.

​What would it be like to shag Shaggy and Craig David at the same time? What if your sister gave birth to your husband's baby? And is fingering still a thing? Joining us to answer these important questions of the day is Anna Whitehouse, AKA Mother Pukka! 


We hear about how the pandemic has affected her campaign for flexible working, and her new job playing records on Heart FM. We also discuss her new novel, Underbelly. 

There's some serious chat about the impact of gossip websites on people in the public eye, and what Anna thinks is the solution. Then it's back to the usual daftness with some superb Scummy Mummy Confessions. 


Anna's book is out on 5th August, and it's fab - Ellie couldn't put it down! You can preorder Underbelly now. While you're at it, why not preorder Helen's book, too?

Joining us is the excellent blogger and author Alison Perry. She tells us about her experience of having two babies at once, and her brilliant new book, OMG It's Twins!


We discuss Alison's husband being a stay-at-home dad, and wonder why it's still a novelty for women to be the breadwinners. There's also some chat about how our attitudes to our bodies have changed as we age, and how we're finding socialising again after lockdown. Then it's time for some Scummy Mummy Confessions, plus a parenting tip from Alison which is almost certainly illegal.

This episode features writer, rambler, TV legend and national treasure Clare Balding! We cover all sorts of topics, from nearly messing up Prince Philip's funeral and mentally fat-shaming labradors to feeding horses with your mouth.


Clare tells us all about her brilliant new book, Fall Off, Get Back On, Keep Going, which is out now. We discuss what being kind really means, why she doesn't like selfies, and why she thinks you have to fail 100 times to be good at anything. We ask big questions like how to give kids honest feedback, and help them cope with the pressure to achieve perfection. Plus, Ellie encourages Clare Balding to take drugs, and Helen tells a fart story.

She's back! Everyone's favourite purveyor of filthy stick figure cartoons is here to talk about playdate shame, managing teens, and what is better: dogs or children? 


Meanwhile, we get an update on Helen's love life - let's talk about socks, baby. Honestly, there's no point trying to summarise it here, you're just going to have to listen in...


And of course we discuss Katie's brilliant new book, The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Books. It's out now and it's a fantastic read for 9-12 year-olds, or indeed 40-plus year-olds like us who just want something funny to read in the bath.

This year, we're celebrating eight years and 200 episodes of The Scummy Mummies Podcast. We had big plans for this ep: fizzy wine! A lovely guest! Lots of lols! A lucrative advertising deal! 


But then, because premature babies, surprise divorces and global pandemics just aren't enough curve balls, life decided to kick us another one. So we've ended up recording this episode with Helen dialling in from hospital, where she's looking after her poorly daughter. 

Thank you for all the kind words of support. We decided to go ahead and record something because so many people have been messaging us, and we wanted to share what's going on. And because we did want to mark 200 episodes in some way, even if we had to swap the fizzy wine and birthday cake for IV drips and M&S salads. 


Most of all, we want to say thank you to everyone who has listened and subscribed to the podcast, who has written us lovely reviews, who has sent us funny confessions, and shared messages of encouragement. We had no idea what response we would get when we started this nonsense back in 2013. We certainly didn't dream we'd still be doing this eight years on. You have kept us going, so thank you. 


Lots of love, 


Ellie and Helen x

We share stories about going on tour with your parents, and the most embarrassing things we've done in the park in the name of content creation.

How can Countdown help with homeschooling? What exactly is going on at Tupperware parties these days? And is every hole REALLY a goal? Answering all these questions is our old friend Steve Hill! 


He tells us how he's been coping with the corona situation, and we find out the best thing he bought during lockdown. There's also some chat about Steve's capsule wardrobe, and we congratulate him on completing the Couch to 5K, just seven years after downloading the app. 

Then it's time for Book Chat, where we discuss Steve's excellent new tome, Wall of Sport: My Descent into Multiscreen Madness. His previous football-focused book, The Card, is still in print. We are mentioned in both of them, is the main point.

This time we cover everything from Ranj's views on the Corona vaccine to the naughtiest things we've ordered from Deliveroo. We also hear how he and Helen are coping with the current mandemic. That's not a spelling mistake. 

Ranj has a new book out, How to Grow Up and Feel Amazing! The No-Worries Guide for Boys. We talk about why he chose to write for lads specifically, how to talk to kids about puberty, and how we can help our sons not to become dickheads when they're older. Obviously, it all descends into filth. Ranj's book is brilliant and it's out on 18th February.

​

There's some chat about VV's fantastic new children's book, Lily and the Magic Comb. We talk about what it's like to be told your book is too niche because it features a black lead character. 


And finally, we end with a fabulous Scummy Mummy Confession, involving a wardrobe fail at Camp Bestival.

What's the best way to get fit when we're stuck at home? How do you motivate teenagers to exercise? And what's it like to start IVF and a new business at the same time? Answering all these questions and more is awesome fitness coach Suzanne Keatley!


We hear all about the fab gym she runs, Fitology Hub. We discuss the need for a female-only fitness space, and why Suzanne finds it easier to train women than men.

There's some chat about body image, and the shift in mindset from working out for weight loss versus mental health. Suzanne tells us about her experience of going through IVF, dealing with the physical changes of motherhood, and why she thinks we could all benefit from strength training. As always, we round off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions.

Yes, it's the Christmas episode! As usual it's an absolute shambles, but tonight, the part of Steve Hill will be played by hilarious comedian Sam Pamphilon! Also the lovely Nurse Jessie is back.


It's A Tale of Two Lindas as we enjoy a twist on our regular festive traditions. We catch up on Jessie's job situation, how our divorces are going, and the results of our STD tests. 


As he's worked with both the Scummy Mummies and AntandDec this year, we ask Sam who is funnier. We share our highlights of 2020, including the time a team of firemen drilled right through Helen's ring. 

This year's Ham Review almost ends in fisticuffs as we have a row about gammon, while Jessie and Sam bring some extra gourmet treats to the party. Do listen right to the end for some Scummy Mummy Confessions and what might be the funniest, filthiest outtake ever. 


Here's the website for Olivia the organiser - heyworthgordon.com. Thank you Melissa @fowlmouthsfood for inspiring Ellie to go off piste with her ham recipe, even though she'll never do that again. And here's the mental health support service Sam mentions - industryminds.co.uk.

What's it like having dinner with Beyoncé? How many tour buses do the Backstreet Boys need? And how do you win a staring competition with Prince? DJ Nikki Beatnik actually has the answers to all these questions, and more! 


We talk about her life on the road with the likes of Kelis and All Saints. We find out what it's like to meet Grace Jones and your future husband on the same day, while massively hungover. 

Our guest for this episode is the hilarious comedian, actor, and writer, Thanyia Moore! 


We reminisce about the bad old days, when we were all on the open mic comedy circuit together. There's some chat about how different audiences can be, and the issues around race and gender that still exist in comedy today. 

Thanyia shares her experience of being a school bully, and tells us what happened when she apologised to the people she was mean to in adulthood. We discuss what causes bullying, what she wishes the adults around her had done differently, and why she thinks it's time for a shift in focus in the way we deal with bullies. 


And finally, we nearly come to blows over the subject of Cabbage Patch Dolls, before Thanyia entertains us with some brilliant Scummy Auntie Confessions.

What's the best way to announce your separation? Is it possible to stay civil if you're still living together? And how do you cope when your ex's new partner is literally wearing your trousers? Comedian Sam Pamphilon knows the answer to none of these questions, but we have a good laugh anyway! 


The actor and former chef tells us how he's handling the pandemic, and what his signature lockdown dish is. We discuss Sam's sexual preferences, donkeys versus racehorses, chicken vaginas, and Val Kilmer's elbow. It's one of the most honest and hilarious chats we've ever had, so do have a listen. 

As mentioned on the podcast, Sam isn't on social media at the moment. If you want to follow him, best loiter around Sydenham Lidl.
