Jubba Hive Rise! This week (under the looming shadow of . . . well, everything right now) the rats find small (guilty) joy in spending absurd amounts of money. We explore the magic of mushrooms, and in doing so are forced to confront the abjectly humiliating auras of those who love mushrooms a little too much. We touch on China’s mycelial trade reach, the absurdity of tariffs, the unbearable lightness of Jabba, all lightly spritzed with the usual caustic psychobabble you’ve come to know and loathe. Also, what are the real dangers of waxing your scrotum. And is it really such a faux pas to call it a ‘Manzillian’? And finally, whose anal trough is more appealing; Sam’s or Johanna’s (you wanna know, and we wanna tell you). And please forgive the sub-woofing sound of Sam’s vape—it’s one of the few reasons he has to get out of bed in the morning Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Labia to Linoleum
Johanna is in Melbourne doing the comedy circuit. So begins a month or so of long distance episodes. Kinda like Heloise and Abelard but without the platonic eroticism. And instead of a medieval cloister the rats are sending each other passionate missives from an air mattress and a shared artist studio, respectively. Highlights include sudden death, the Abu Ghraib-adjacent regimen of reformer pilates, and Picnic at Hanging Rock (which should cost definitely NOT be remade). Hosted on Acast.

The Unbearable Vices of Being
Despite there being very little reason to live at the moment, what with the kinds of geopolitical instability unseen in the west since the end of WW2, the rats manage to find joy in the little things. Like wings from Dominos. The ferocious ally-ship of Azealia Banks (and how JK Rowling betrayed the millennials responsible for her ill-begot fortune). DIY glory-holes with strangers (only a towel and a shower door needed!). And nostalgic tv shows (which when indulged, more often than not, are a clear sign of an incoming depression). Also, what the effing eff are The Humours and why are they relevant in Severance? If this is the second coming of Lost we’ll be very annoyed.See Johanna Live in Melbourne | Sydney | NZ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
