S17 EP11: HIS BOYS RUINED VALENTINES DAY

2/17/2026
Is Valentine’s Day romantic… or just a relationship pressure cooker? 🤯 This week, we get honest about how we really feel about Valentine’s Day and whether it creates problems or simply exposes the ones already there 👀. We share our own past Valentine’s experiences (the good, the bad, and the why did that happen), and laugh our way through our past trauma. 🤣 We also break down some wild Valentine’s facts! From how many roses are sold worldwide in one day to why February is peak cheating season 😬 Before finally diving into the craziest Valentine’s stories ever, including cheating exposed via Ring doorbells and extreme jealousy expressed ever so poetically we can't figure out whether it's scary or sexy. 🤔 This episode is pure Sisters in the City chaos 💋 xxxx Hosted on Acast.

1/27/2026
This week we kick things off with the tea that has been breaking the internet 👀 The Beckham’s family drama 🤯 We’re unpacking it all, giving our very passionate thoughts, and just to be clear… we are Team VB all the way. Always. No notes. 👏✨ Then it’s time for a Besties dilemma special 🫶 Our Patreon Besties have been BUSY sending in their situations and… wow.

S17 EP7: HE WAS FAKE ALL ALONG!

1/20/2026
This episode starts off as usual with a bit of chaos, outfit chat, and then immediately spirals into your ex stories: medical emergencies that definitely weren’t real, 4am comeback texts after a “final” breakup, possessive behaviour disguised as concern, and exes who embarrassed themselves long after the relationship ended. There’s cheating, getting caught in the worst ways, and those long-term exes you invested years into… only for them to still move mad. We react in real time, call out the manipulation, laugh where it’s deserved, and quietly thank the universe we’re not in these situations anymore. Some of these are funny now. At the time? Absolutely not! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S17 EP6: WE WANT TO GO BACK TO IRAN

1/13/2026
In this episode, we slow everything down and speak from the heart about what’s happening in Iran. Our homeland. This conversation comes from a deeply personal place. It’s emotional and heavy ❤️‍🩹 We share a message Mandi wrote that captures what we’ve been carrying inside. The grief, the anger, the heartbreak, and the unwavering love we have for our people. We talk openly about how the current situation is affecting us and why staying silent is not an option. This episode is our way of holding space, standing in solidarity, and using our voices where we can. It’s about honoring the strength and courage of the Iranian people who are risking their lives for basic human rights. Free Iran 💚🤍❤️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yes, the rumours are addressed... And yes, the Patreon Besties group chat clocked it before the podcast did! Then it’s friendship dilemmas!!! Friends who disappear after marriage, best friends suggesting threesomes (JAIL), giving lifts to girls who’ve slept with your boyfriend, secret kisses, fake friends posting bad photos, and when to fight for a friendship vs. cut it off immediately.

S17 EP3: CRYING EVERY CHRISTMAS!

12/23/2025
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Join us this week as we go from Secret Santa turning way more dramatic than planned, to unhinged Christmas opinions and Would You Rather questions that fully derailed the episode. There were tears (don’t ask), questionable Christmas food takes, family pressure chat, and at least one moment where we definitely overshared. We talk regifting crimes, awkward Christmas questions, festive flirting, naughty vs nice behaviour, and why Christmas dinner is basically a high-stress endurance sport. All wrapped up in pyjamas, and classic Sisters chaos. 😘🎅 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S17 EP2: ANNA HAS A STALKER!

12/16/2025
Catch-up with us on our absolutely CHAOTIC weekend. 🤯 Anna met a guy who's giving Ted Bundy… and honestly? He turned out to be almost as terrifying as he looked (red flags were practically tap-dancing). 🚩Then, as if our night couldn’t get any weirder, we ended up in McDonald’s at 3am watching a very married man doing a very un-married thing… with another man... basically, just another classic episode. 😘 Hosted on Acast.

The sisters are BACK for Season 17 and we’re kicking things off with the most iconic relationship handbook of all time: Why Men Love Bitches. This week, Anna and Mandi dive into more holy grail rules such as not being too available, not being anyone’s accidental booty call, and why having a backbone is apparently the ultimate aphrodisiac. If you’ve ever wondered whether texting back instantly is ruining your life, why men chase what they think they can’t have, or how to stay in your main-character energy even when you like him too much… this episode is your new bible!

S16 EP12: HOW MEN DEAL WITH HEARTBREAK

12/2/2025
This week Anna and Mandi are struggling for their LIVES after finally returning to the gym — one squat after a year off and they’re both walking like newborn giraffes. 🦒😭 They also relive their chaotic wardrobe malfunction at the Beauty Awards, where their dresses were so long they basically became a public safety hazard ⚠️ The sisters then dive into the trending Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo friendship debate. Is it sweet? Is it creepy? 🥸 Is it… something else? They decide the only responsible thing to do is actually watch Wicked for the first time like the cultural slackers they apparently are. Then, for the first time EVER, we enter an episode produced by Mandi (yes, miracles happen). 😱 She takes the lead with a juicy roundup of recent love and lifestyle news — including why men take so much longer to heal from breakups. 🤕💔 Hosted on Acast.

S16 EP11: HE CHOKED ON MY TOENAIL!

11/25/2025
We are in full unhinged mode this week 💖🫠 from PMS and seasonal depression vibes to toe-sucking disasters, flying acrylics, queef attacks and Mandi accidentally sending Gingerbeard’s entire downstairs to the group chat 😭✨. Anna is moving into her own place, and talks about dramatic “this chair has bad energy” furniture superstitions 🪑💫. As always we spiral and overshare, debating whether embarrassment even counts if no one saw it… honestly it’s giving chaotic, girly therapy 💅🏼💗 Hosted on Acast.

S16 EP10: IS SNAPCHAT A RED FLAG?!

11/18/2025
The sisters are BACK from Dubai and honestly? The trip did not come home alone — because the entire Vakili clan caught the same stomach bug. Mandi, Anna, Gingerbeard, Mum AND Dad were all wiped out like a family-wide purge! 🤯 Once the digestive drama settles, the sisters dive straight into the important stuff: red flags. Is having Snapchat (in 2025!!!) a red flag, or are we being dramatic? Is a man ordering for you at a restaurant giving “alpha energy” or “run, babe, RUN”? 🏃‍♂️ Anna tries to be diplomatic, Mandi absolutely does not, and together they break down YOUR scenarios and decide once and for all: is it a genuine red flag, or just our collective trauma speaking? 👀 🚩 Hosted on Acast.

S16 EP9: DR DUCU THE BUM FILLER GOD!

11/11/2025
Today’s episode is JUICY. We’re joined by the man who literally changed our bodies and our confidence… the world-famous Dr Ducu Botoaca – hair transplant & cosmetic surgeon and the genius behind some of the most talked-about bums in London 👀 We get real about bum fillers vs BBL vs implants, fixing botched surgeries, safety & aftercare, the red flags when choosing a clinic and soooo much more! This episode is NOT an ad for surgery. It’s about informed decisions. If you’ve ever thought about bum fillers, BBLs or revision work, you need to hear this from someone who actually prioritises safety over selling! Hosted on Acast.

S16 EP8: LOVE OR LIFESTYLE?

11/4/2025
We kick off this episode with Mandi in full drama mode after someone crashed into her car and drove off... Turns out no one was injured… except Mandi’s bumper and her ego. So obviously we had to debate what 999 is actually for (and whether Mandi’s overreaction counts as an emergency). Once the chaos calmed down, we dived straight into your Relationship Dilemmas — from partners who are married to their phones 📱 to ones who love their dogs more than their girlfriends 🐶❤️ (yes, we said it). Expect unfiltered opinions, unnecessary laughter, and a few red flags we accidentally defended. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, the Sisters go under the knife for Halloween! Mandi & Anna are dressed as Botched Surgery Sisters — bandaged up, bruised, and ready to operate on your darkest fears. 😱 We read out our followers’ spookiest real-life experiences — from a woman mid-sex who suddenly saw a stranger’s face peering through the car window 😳… to a baby monitor that started playing lullabies sung by someone who wasn’t there. 👶🪩🫣 It’s scary, it’s chaotic, it’s giving cosmetic horror movie with lip liner! 💄💀 Get ready for screams, laughs, and a few ghostly goosebumps — the Halloween chaos has officially begun!

S16 EP6: WHY ARE WE SO HATED!?

10/21/2025
We open this week’s episode by laughing (and cringing) 😩 about just how many times we’ve cried on the podcast (someone give us an award for Most Emotional Hosts 🏆) Then we drag poor Gingerbeard on the phone before we dive into Part 1 of reacting to our trolling comments. 🫣 From people obsessed with Mandi’s nostrils to the one who said we look like Mr Potato Head (spoiler: we kinda see it and we’re weirdly fine with it 😂), we read them, rate them and clap back with our best comebacks yet – tears optional.

S16 EP5: WE NEEDED THIS ARGUMENT!

10/14/2025
It finally happened....Before we even hit record today we started bickering, so instead of pretending everything was fine, we dragged the drama straight onto the mic. 🫣🔥 This episode is raw, messy and so REAL! We unpack our sister dynamic, ask ourselves the honest question - are we clashing? There is no better gift in this world like having a sister as a best friend, but lucky for you guys it comes with the drama! 😝 So we spill what’s actually been going on between us behind the scenes. It’s basically a therapy session… but louder and with more eyeliner. 💅🎙️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
