If you've ever wanted to see me try and act cool and normal around someone I have a crush on, this is your opportunity! The absolute charisma-bomb that is Steph Monks joins me on the pod this week, and she's exceeded all expectations of funny, relatable, and insightful.
You'll know Steph from her illustrious career in NZ radio, but she is currently keeping us entertained on our drives home with the Edge Arvos show! Steph and her lovely partner Jake have a one year old named Rocco, and hearing Steph speak about her journey of parenting so far was an absolute delight.
The thing that struck me the most about speaking with Steph is about how much she credits the Mums in her village for getting her through the tricky early days, and how much she strives to be a champion for the Mums in her life now! She is like the ultimate hype woman for any person looking after a small human and it is bloody delightful.
In honour of Steph's philosophy of Mum-hype, if you've made it this far, send a message to a Mum in your life telling them how much of a f*cking legend they are.
Once again, the biggest thank you to Bear & Moo for their sponsorship this episode. They even spoiled Steph and sent her some goodies! They have just moved warehouses AND announced their store opening, so huge things happening over there. I'm particularly grateful for the honeysticks watercolours set this week, because Freddy made his Nonna and Grandmum a very cute painting for Mothers' Day.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
