Team Mama Bear have come to the defence of a woman who burst into an Adelaide school classroom and threatened to kill her daughter’s bully. And that team is very much winning the in the court of public opinion. We discuss a complicated bullying story.

Plus, did you come from an “ask” family, or a “guess” family? How you answer will probably ruin Valentine’s Day for you and say a lot about the conflicts in your life. 

And, revenge is so hot right now. It’s dancing on the stage at the Superbowl and it’s dripping from Taylor’s thigh… Welcome to the gloves-off era.
