Advertise on podcast: Can I be Candid?

How lazy is too lazy? This week, we’re sharing the most ridiculous lazy things people have done, from rewashing clean clothes instead of putting them away to watching something on your phone because the remote was just too far away. We’ve been reading your stories, and Perrie and Ricci (mostly Perrie) can relate. But are these peak laziness or just genius shortcuts? Then Perrie has a rant about dishwasher routines. How are you supposed to empty one properly, and why does someone in every family, usually a dad or Ricci, think their way is the only way? Tell us how you stack and empty your dishwasher in the comments. Plus, we get into speed awareness course gossip. Has Perrie got something to say about it? Obviously. We hope you love this week’s episode. There’s plenty more coming up. Thanks for listening! xxx

We’re back with a boney, and this week we’re returning to “Can I Be Controversial?” Our topic is “What counts as cheating?” Simple, right? Well, maybe not. The gang all have different opinions. Harry’s word of the day is “nuance”, and we think he means it depends on the situation. Is a kiss worse than a flirty text? Have you ever heard of the phrase “work wife”? If your partner watches porn, does that count as cheating? And would you care? Do you have rules? Are your limits and expectations set out from the beginning? Or does it even need discussing?  We have lots of questions and, to be honest, not that many answers. But the big question is: could you ever forgive a partner for cheating? We want to hear your thoughts. Tell us what you think about cheating in the comments! Thanks for listening xxx

Straight away, Perrie and Harry are at each other, LOL! Perrie has turned up wearing her Rhode under-eye patches (other brands are available), and the question is: are they acceptable to wear around the local supermarket? Perrie says absolutely. She doesn’t give a f**k! Ricci thinks she’s wearing them for attention, which is outrageous, while Harry claims it’s only because they’re a brand. How controversial! Renée has other thoughts, comparing it to wearing her rollers out and about, and even her eyebrow tint. As always, we want to hear what you think. Are under-eye patches acceptable in public? Let us know in the comments. We love reading them! We’re also talking skincare. Ricci asks, “What’s the point?”, while Perrie has a 12-step routine for morning, noon and night. It’s October, and things are getting spooky in the studio. A light miraculously falls mid-filming. Could it be the ghost of Candid past? And finally, we’re talking about the sayings we use every day without necessarily knowing what they mean: “until the cows come home”, “make a rod for your own back”, “bite the bullet” and “raining cats and dogs”. We’re guessing where these phrases came from and whether the myths behind them are true. So much to say, so little time! What sayings have we missed? Let us know in the comments.

You absolutely loved the leftover confessions from the *Can I Be Candid? Live Tour*, so Perrie, Ricci and the gang are diving into another batch of your wildest stories. A workplace flirt leads to some naughty antics in a horsebox, which has us asking: where is the craziest place you’ve ever had sex? Perrie and Ricci reveal their answers, although theirs are surprisingly tame, tbh. Then, the conversation takes an unexpected turn as animals somehow become involved in the bedroom. They swear it was an accident! Plus, one listener scratches up a car, only to discover that it didn’t actually belong to the guy she was dating. Awkward… Expect outrageous confessions, dating disasters, relationship drama and plenty of brutally honest reactions from the CIBC gang. We love hearing your stories, so keep sending your anonymous confessions to [email protected] for the chance to be featured in a future episode. Thanks for listening xxx

It’s time for a bonus episode, and we’re bringing back Candid Confessions! You shared your BEST confessions with us during the Can I Be Candid? live tour, but we couldn’t get through them all. So, we thought we’d dive into even more of your shocking anonymous stories, and you did not disappoint! From waking up NAKED next to your boyfriend’s dad to being pushed in front of a car by your ex, these confessions are truly wild. As usual, Perrie and the gang have plenty of questions, thoughts and opinions as they break down every story. Got something you want Perrie to know? Get in touch at [email protected] and your confession might be read out in a future episode! Thanks for listening xxx

The Can I Be Candid? gang are back from their live podcast tour and the post-tour blues have officially kicked in! Perrie, Ricci, Renée and Harry reminisce about the most incredible week and the INSANE reaction from everyone who came to the shows. But the big question for Perrie is… would she do it all again? And are you guys ready for tour round two? With the tour over, Perrie casually asks what everyone is up to this weekend, only for Renée to drop the bombshell that she’s officiating a wedding. Sorry, what?! Yep, our very own Vicar of Dibley is sitting right here on the Candid sofa. Naturally, Perrie has a lot of questions! After spending a week living together on a tour bus, the gang also debate tour bus etiquette, sharing an Airbnb with friends and the unspoken rules of group holidays. If you go to the toilet in the middle of the night, do you flush and risk waking everyone up, or leave a yellow surprise for the morning? And if someone wants an early night, should everyone else have to stop the party? As always, Team Candid has plenty of opinions, but we want to hear yours too! Let us know what you think in the comments. Thanks for listening xxx

We’re coming to you directly from a car park… Yep, you read that correctly. The Candid crew are on the road in their giant tour bus, which is conveniently parked behind the venue. We’re halfway through the tour, so the gang are filming a special episode to bring you all the backstage gossip! From the live band and sexy dancers to Ricci’s top coming off, Perrie on a revolving stage, game-show prizes, Perrie-Oke, live confessions and so much more, the tour has been the most incredible experience. We’re so thankful to absolutely everyone who has shown up, as well as for all the support and love we’ve seen on social media. The question is… should we do it again? Thanks for listening xxx

Guys, the Can I Be Candid? Live Tour starts this week! How has that happened, and where has the time gone?! The gang are deep in rehearsals and getting ready to hit the road, but there’s still a brand-new episode to keep you going! Perrie the party girl is fresh back from Ibiza, and this week we’re talking about mixing friendship groups, making new friends in your 30s and whether separate friendship circles should ever meet. Do you mix your friendship groups? Have you found it harder to make new friends in your 30s? Plus, we’ve got some questions for Perrie and Ricci at the end. As always, we need your thoughts in the comments! Thanks for listening xxx See you on tour! 💕🎤

It’s been long enough… we finally feel ready to talk about lockdown! It’s a strange time that somehow feels like it happened yesterday and 20 years ago at the same time. Perrie’s mum is back on the sofa, and she actually lived with Perrie and Ricci throughout lockdown, so there are plenty of memories to unpack. From endless Zoom quizzes and confusing tier restrictions to lockdown walks and binge-watching entire TV series, we’re looking back at the weirdest moments from the pandemic. Ricci reminisces about his Prison Break marathon, although, to be honest, that’s about all he can remember. Perrie has some surprisingly fond lockdown memories, but it’s still a definitive no from her when it comes to ever doing it again. Meanwhile, Perrie’s mum is convinced lockdown turned everyone into walkers… and she’s still not happy about people getting in her way during her 5am strolls! Then it’s time for another round of Can I Be Controversial? This week, we’re tackling bad breath and body odour. What’s the etiquette? Should you tell someone? Do you politely ignore it? And would you want somebody to tell you? As always, we want your opinions! Share your lockdown memories and hygiene dilemmas in the comments below. Thanks for listening xxx

It’s officially September, which means the weather has turned, summer is over and it’s time to go back to school! This week, we’re talking all things school uniforms, back-to-school shopping and those nostalgic school-day memories. We all remember the dreaded uniform shop signalling the end of summer, from trying on oversized blazers to choosing a brand-new pencil case and stocking up on school supplies. As always, this lot have plenty of opinions, and Renée accuses school uniform suppliers of running some sort of cartel… because obviously!Is it back-to-school season in your household? Does the thought fill you with dread, or are you beaming with joy at finally getting back to some normality? All this and so much more! Thanks for listening xxx

Perrie’s mum, AKA the Savinator, is back on the sofa with the gang as they catch up on all things TOUR, which is now just weeks away! 💕 With Louis back with us, Perrie wanted to dig deep into the memory bank and get nostalgic. We’re talking all about things from the 90s that basically no longer exist! Friday night at the movies meant getting yourself down to the local Blockbuster, picking a film or two, stocking up on snacks and bunkering down for the weekend. 📼🍿 A meal out at a fancy restaurant these days means the most difficult decision is usually where to sit for the best lighting for your pre-meal selfie. But back in the day, it was “smoking or non-smoking?” Like WTF… actually sitting inside while Barbara over there puffs away on her menthol cig?! 😭 Speaking of selfies… disposable cameras. What a moment! You took a photo, had absolutely no idea what it looked like and then had to wait WEEKS to get it back. Gen Z could never! 📸 We need to know: what’s got you feeling nostalgic lately? Thanks for listening xxx

We have a brand-new segment! Introducing… Can I Be Controversial? 👀 Don’t worry, we’re not tackling anything too serious, but we are getting candid about the everyday dilemmas and taboo topics that always divide opinion. First up: splitting the bill. Do you divide it equally, pay only for what you ordered or expect someone else to pick up the whole thing? What happens if some people were drinking alcohol and others weren’t? And whatever you do, don’t get Perrie started on sharing side dishes! Then we’re moving on to an even more controversial debate: wedding plus-ones and children at weddings. Is every guest entitled to bring a partner? Does the couple need to know them? Should weddings be child-free? And do we agree with the rule “no ring, no bring”? As you can imagine, Perrie, Ricci, Renée and Harry have plenty to say! What do you think about splitting the bill and wedding guest etiquette? And which controversial topic should the gang tackle next? Thanks for listening xxx

It’s GCSE results day, up and down the country kids are getting there results and finding out what their educational future looks like! So the gang are reminiscing their own results. Perrie seemed to have a bunch of A*s and Ricci seemed to have not bothered. Ricci is convinced that Harry is now an MBE or because he has a first class degree (bragging again). To anyone getting results today, the world is in front of you! Don’t let anything on a piece of paper define you! Thanks for listening xxx

We’re back in the studio and the whole gang is together! Yes, Perrie, Ricci, Renée and Harry are officially back on the sofas!Harry has been to see a psychic and we NEED to unpack it.

Renée is a believer, Perrie has lots of questions and Ricci is calling BS!The psychic even had a message for Perrie that leaves the whole gang GAGGED… and that’s the gag!Ricci, however, has some thoughts. He decides that he’s a psychic too and gives Renée her very own reading. The future is bright, Ren — keep going!We’ve also got a quick update on the upcoming TOUR, which is literally just weeks away. We CANNOT WAIT!And, of course, we couldn’t get through this episode without talking about Perrie’s completely viral moment: THE SHART.Yes, we’re getting the full lowdown on Perrie’s shart: how it happened, what happened next and how she’s navigating life post-shart.

We all know Ricci is very Type A—he loves his systems, organisation and a schedule. Perrie, however, is very much Type B! So, how do these two get along on holiday? We’re finding out. From airport security and who keeps hold of the passports to whether you unpack at the hotel or live out of your suitcase, we’re digging into it all. It’s safe to say Perrie has a lot of thoughts about holidays! We’ll be back in the studio next week—and we might even see Renée and Harry! Thanks for listening xxx
