We’ve been working hard lately with our heads down and bums up at Greater SA but we took some time out and hooked up our beloved microphone Phallic Phil. It reminded us how much we like talking shit and having a good belly laugh! It’s our therapy. Abbie caught up with Darren Scholz, aka Sholzy who is on an ‘adventure’ down a road he didn’t choose to travel as he begins treatment for prostate cancer. He and his wife Carolyn are now on a quest to spread awareness and save men’s lives!&nbsp...

Like the Apollo Missions, we’ve launched ourselves into a whole new world and plan on making SA even Greater. Speaking of launches, and landings….. it got us thinking about the moon and we’re calling BS. Did Neil really take the first step for man and the second step for man kind?

It’s been a long time, but Abbie finally got back to Bali - her happy place. In this week’s episode she shares her latest jaunt hosting “A Real Treat” and their incredible experiences. The only thing she missed while she was in Bali was Melissa, who refused to sweat bullets into plus sized undies for some zen and cocktails. She is a grumpy bitch this week so maybe she should have gone. For more info about Abbie’s retreats check out the links below.https://www.facebook.com/breakfort...
