Can’t Cope#20: Teams Calls, Clapham, and Character AssassinationFor their final episode of Season Two, Rebecca and Kelsey sit down for what begins as a short catch-up but quickly turns into a full conversation about work events, home organisation, public etiquette, and the end of Sex and the City as we knew it. Kelsey recounts her summer outing with colleagues in Southwest London, where she managed the itinerary and enjoyed tiramisu gelato on company time. Rebecca, back in Cork, starts clearing out years worth of clothes and toiletries, and shares her growing frustration with clutter, both physical and mental.They also talk about why...
2025-08-1957 minCan’t Cope#19: Soap Dreams, Sims & Stuff We’ll Never Be Good AtKelsey’s on a dry streak ahead of a last‑minute wedding invite, DJing either side of it, and negotiating whether a midnight spicy marg technically counts as “the day of.” She tried a bar of soap after TikTok told her it lasts longer than shower gel… then dreamt she had to eat it, gagged at the smell the next morning, and binned it. She’s also in her cosy‑geek era. Sims webcam for Twitch, Xbox controller, adult colouring with crisp Crayolas, and steps and salads for holiday bikini pics. Rebecca did a West Cork hostel weekend in Allihies, gorg...
2025-08-121h 03Can’t Cope#18: Beauty, Bills and Hi-B House RulesKelsey’s back in London after a packed few days in Cork, complete with a full pub crawl across the city, her first-ever visit to the Hi-B (where Rebecca’s already been kicked out), and an impromptu limoncello-fuelled dinner at Elbow Lane. There’s drama at Brick Lane involving a bouquet and an awkward moment at the bar, a fierce debate over the proper glassware for a French 75, and a realisation that half the pubs in Cork have somehow slipped under the radar. The love for Beamish runs deep, the respect for phone bans runs deeper.Meanwh...
2025-08-051h 03Can’t Cope#17: Angry Tears, Expensive Nightclubs, and The Suite Life We Were PromisedBetween Kelsey’s unforgettable birthday weekend in Cork and Rebecca’s teary-eyed search for a Maritozzo, the theme of this week’s episode is clear… life is a bit much. Kelsey shares every detail from the party. Pint and cocktail combos, family karaoke, her mum saving the day with a last-minute butter-yellow dress, and the heartbreak of paying into a nightclub with no crowd. Rebecca’s week brought hormonal rage, a sobbing session over closed bakeries, a proud €1.50 Luas ride, and the deeply humbling discovery that she’s been walking past a perfectly good bus stop for months. Grown-up life? Overrate...
2025-07-2954 minCan’t Cope#16: The Post, The Panic, and The Procrastination ParadeThis week on Can’t Cope, Rebecca and Kelsey are putting off everything that remotely resembles responsibility. The tax return still hasn’t been touched, the post is quietly piling up, and any thought of the dentist is being firmly ignored. Kelsey spent the weekend at Kaleidoscope Festival, where the sun was unforgiving and the dancing relentless. Rebecca’s been keeping things quieter with riverside walks, a cinema trip with her boyfriend, and a calm exterior that’s barely holding back the internal scream of someone 12 days off the vape.They cover the usual life admin, lingerin...
2025-07-2254 minCan’t Cope#15: The Tights That Killed The Shift, Littlewoods Debt & Passport PanicWe’re back with a catch-up full of family visits and an epic deep dive into the horrors (and hilarity) of our worst fashion crimes. Kelsey lands home from Ireland with a Ryanair miracle, a flight that’s barely late, and fills us in on a wholesome Celtic match, a dreamy Love Island villa Airbnb, and the sheer panic of renewing a passport days before jetting off. Meanwhile, Rebecca’s busy conquering her vape cravings one Nicorette spray at a time, giving away posh Le Creuset pots she doesn’t know how to use, and discovering that the ultimate act of lo...
2025-07-1552 minCan’t Cope#14: Cursed Trips, Cork Gigs & Cash-Only PubsRebecca’s back from her Italian “holiday” and spoiler alert, it was less Aperol Spritz, more Venice Villains and bridge trolls who nearly robbed her suitcase (and her sanity). She spills all about the sweat, the tears, the suspicious late-night hotel knocks, and the absolute horror of dragging a suitcase the size of herself up endless canals while praying not to get mugged. Meanwhile, Kelsey’s been living her best Cork life, catching blues gigs with the fam, hunting down the perfect birthday dress, and loving every minute of having her brother over for the month. Together, they unpack why solo...
2025-07-0855 minCan’t Cope#13: Fringe Regret, Festival Fails & Femme RageOn this scorched-earth episode of Can’t Cope, Rebecca’s deep in the no-sleep holiday spiral in Spain while Kelsey’s being grilled alive by London’s murky heat.

2025-05-2754 minCan’t Cope#10: The Time We Were Embarrassed, The Time We Were Exposed, and The Time We Bothered O’Shea Jackson Jr.This week, we’re serving up the kind of chaos that lingers in your brain long after the moment has passed.

2025-03-1857 minCan’t Cope#5: St. Patrick, The Pied Piper & Absolute Scandal at London ZooIt’s St. Patrick’s week, which means Kelsey and Rebecca are embracing their Irishness, well, as much as they can while sitting in two different countries.Rebecca is sipping a cocktail in a hotel robe in Rome, but it hasn’t all been glamorous.

2025-02-2548 minCan’t Cope#2: Buses, Butterflies & Certain DeathIrrational fears, everyone has them, but some are more unhinged than others.Before getting into the madness, Rebecca shares a shambolic leftover story from Episode 1, because apparently, her Valentine’s disasters didn’t end there. This one involves an ex, a 5-minute reunion in Killarney, and the absolute state of a “To My Girlfriend” card from a man who was, in fact, not her boyfriend (nor would he ever be). Naturally, this reminds Kelsey of the opposite nightmare, an ex who actually was her boyfriend but handed her a birthday card that read “To My Friend.”The...
