Today is a continuation of us telling you our fullllll origin story.

Pretty much everything that’s lead up to where we are today!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>We hope you enjoy this nostalgic deep dive as much as we did, and hopefully it answers some questions about who the hell we are and what it is we love to do together!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Okay!
