Australia’s most exciting queer comedy duo: Mel & Sam host their brand new podcast: RATBAG. Join them as these besties and also quasi-reformed-theatre-kids host...
We personally think that sitting and chatting about coping strategies for our brains and unpacking ways to get tasks done that most people find really easy in their daily lives is something that two people who definitely DON’T have ADHD would do in the podcast studio!!!In this week’s Ratfood, Mel is running on 0.3 morsels of energy after coming back from a weekend at Meredith music festival, Sam wins unlimited Girlfriend Points for booking tickets for the overseas concert of a lifetime and Tom has officially welcomed the first day of ‘Shorts’ season with a shaved noggin. Big things afoot.The girls unpack the realities of their inner monologues (what do you mean you can’t picture an apple when I say “picture an apple”?!), the ins and outs of how their gorgeous lil’ whackadoo brains work, the highs and lows of Meredith, the thrills of a freshly graduated doctor in the family and lots, lots more.We hope you’re having a beautiful week wherever you are! Keep nibblin’, and we’ll see you on Monday for more VERY important content.xxMel & Sam—You can watch the full video form of this episode on YouTube HERE: https://bit.ly/MelAndSamYouTubeFollow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.

I'm Not Your Uber, I'm Your Mate With a Car
Toot toot! We hope you aren't listening to this whilst waiting for your mate to get out of the house and slowly gander to your car?! You deserve better!!!Thanks for joining us for another completely-important Ratbag episode! We are stoked to be your new favourite podcast hosted by Mel-will-get-her-licence-when-pigs-fly-O'Brien, and Australia's most impatient-hatchback-owner Samantha Andrew.In this episode, the girls rapid fire some important hot takes including finding a new event like the races, minus the animal cruelty (we need somewhere to watch men fall over in Gazman suits!!). Mel wastes no time in harping on about the cinematic brilliance that is 'Monsters University' (#getthemtomonsterland) and Tom opens up both their eyes to a bizzare way he likes to style himself, which involves not a lot of weather forecast watching, and more a 'trust your gut' kind of approach.If you're still waiting on that main road and your mate hasn't opened your car door yet, zoom off without them, into the sunset man!!! You don't need em!!!If it isn't bleedingly obvious. We jadoreeee you we’ll see you on Thursday for another Ratfood!Mel & Sam—You can watch the full video form of this episode on YouTube HERE: https://bit.ly/MelAndSamYouTubeFollow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.

Portrait Of A Squirt On Fire
Hello you rats and welcome to another jam packed episode of Ratbag! In this episode Mel waxes lyrical about the joys of squirting, followed by a true life story only a splash blanket could solve. Sam then shares a horror story from the time her Hinge date had her completely confused … for someone else … Mel then brings a bonkers "would you rather" question involving a butch lesbian who can only talk in bouldering metaphors (we know our target audience, thanks so much for playing). The two then send it home with a disco number featuring a Renee Rap rap.As always, big kisses to you for tuning in and we will see ya this Thursday for our more "laid back" (a word that has never been used to describe us lol) 'Ratfood'.Mel & Sam—You can watch the full video form of this episode on YouTube HERE: https://bit.ly/MelAndSamYouTubeFollow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.
