The Travelling with Mother Show

Gen Z pop culture is not Mother Approved.

Season 2, Ep. 2

This week, the viral ‘Negroni Sbagliato’ trend is improved with a generous splash of gin, before the ladies recount their equally-boozy dinner at a rather fancy restaurant. Listeners are also gifted with the tale of Mother’s recent behaviour with – not one but two - handsome Spanish customs officers (rather surprisingly, she didn’t end up in handcuffs). ‘It’s Raining Men’ sees Mother completely forget how to play the game and discussions digress to Liz Jones’ relationship and the concept of ‘not accepting settling’. Naturally, topics of celebrity relationships arise (both Timothee Chalamet / Kylie Jenner and Travis Kelce / Taylor Swift’s relationships are in the firing line) and ‘Mother Reacts’ to some Gen Z slang.
