The girls are back with yet another remote recording. This time they're trying something different to try and bring you the best experience they can, so stick with them while they navigate this environment the best they can !

Ever wondered where the actual fairy tales that Disney films are based on originated from? (HINT they aren't actually thought up by Disney!) This week, the girls design their dream weddings, her what song is best suited to be playing at their weddings (and also that they're going to be able to get some great 2 for 1 deals on their wedding décor!!)

The girls take you through the well known classics and their origin stories - and some of these are seriously SpOoKy! (We all know how chick Zo is and she's certainly horrified hearing about some of these!)

This week we're also trying something new and recommending you jump on Netflix and watch the film "Naked" (rated 12/10 by Hann herself!)

Zo thinks Hann did something to her bubble tea because they start the episode off on a high, including uncovering the T - R - U - T - H about Hann's Dad (probably, or like, a sketchy 12% of truth maybe). They spend this episode catching up, 20 feels like a good umber to do that right?! They've both worked flat out all week and haven't had many chances to chat with anyone, so they take full advantage!

Also, take their advice and be KIND always. Life's so much more fun that way.
