The Clicker Test That Changes Everything & Our 'Public Nuisance' Park Fight
Friday, 16 January, 2026
Are you an intensive millennial parent who feels stressed and burnt out? This week, we introduce the “Click Test,” which Amelia claims will change parenting for the better. Meanwhile, Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell are taking an unconventional approach — why they are raising their children to be "intentionally disrespectful". Plus, Monz had a park fight with a man who told her to "get some f***ing control" because her kids were being, well, kids. We debate society's growing intolerance for children in public and ask 'Who's The Asshole?' And finally, we’re checking on our parents. Why are the older generation spending half their waking hours staring at screens, and why are they the most vulnerable group for online scams? Our Recommendations: 💍 Stacey is obsessed with a charm necklace from Gimme. 💸 Monz recommends the K18 Airwash Dry Shampoo. 🛍️ Amelia is loving her free calendar from the chemist, which helps her and her kids to visualise their holiday plans.
