Message on the Machine
Your Message, Our Machine #09
Everyone's favourite episode is back with a vengeance, binches!
That's right, the long-awaited return of Your Message, Our Machine is back for the first time in Season Four. The time for you sickos to take control of Age & Mitch's fates and set the meeting agenda for this message on the machine.
In our classic opener, Leave us a Message, you wanted to know what hath happened with Adrian's previously discussed first date, and what in the hell is with Mitch and his carrots. And the boys are happy to share. Discussion also (somehow) returns to politics and then the age-old question: Melbourne or Sydney?
Our hosts are also launching an exciting new segment we're calling Confessions on the Machine. A chance for you to air your dirty laundry (anon ofc) so that the boys can unpack on air for the joys of the masses. Can we just say, they weren't sure what you’d deliver but holy fucking shit. If the maiden voyage has served us a secret star-crossed romance between one of our listeners and a professional athlete, well then honey are we in for a treat.
Once you've finished the ep, get in early and line up your questions, comments and confessions now for the next time MOTM throws to the people. We're always around to take a message via insta DM or email. (Voice memos obviously encouraged.)

01:00:18||Season 5, Ep. 72They say the two hardest things to say in life are hello for the first time and goodbye for the last.Hi, you’ve called Age & Mitch. And we thought we’d leave you one last Message on the Machine. It’s been a wild ride:2 years5 seasons72 episodeLaughs, tears, shocks, triumphs and terrible embarrassments. Sex parties, disrupted bowels, heartbreak, “the ick,” psychic readings, halloween, healthy habits, fetishes, therapy, sex ed, Google histories and LOTS of gay shit.It’s hard to look back at the last two years of laying all cards on the table and not want to celebrate. So that is exactly what the boys have decided to do. Pour yourself a glass of bubbles for this one because they certainly did.Our hosts have spent their last hour behind the mics to take stock. Highlights, lowlights, regrets, favourite eps and some never before revealed BTS exclusives just for you gossipy little listeners to enjoy. To round out the show, Age & Mitch take a moment to thank each and every one of you gorgeous listeners that have made this show what it is today. Then thank each other and cry through to the credits.If this is the first time you’re listening to us then honey, what a joyous many hours you have in your future. If it’s not then know this, we see you, we love you and thank you.Good luck out there x#afterthebeep71. Even Draggier with Jimi the Kween
53:12||Season 5, Ep. 71Bring. Back. My Girl.That’s right, with the end in sight, and for the first time in MOTM history Age & Mitch have welcomed back a past guest for another crack at the mics. But not just any guest, oh no. The boys are extremely excited to welcome back close friend of the show and self-professed superstar of the world: Jimi the Kween.It’s been a hot 20-months since the last time JTK dropped into the studio. So naturally there was a lot to catch up on. From career pivots (ahem, DJ Jimi) to evolving relationships with gender. As a full-time drag queen these days, Jimi had a bit to add in the sequel to her iconic “The Secret Life of Drag” (Episode 22). The boys get the scoop on Drag Race auditions and whether a national drag icon still picks up the occasional prop from Supa Bargains.On a grittier note, Age and Jimi compare notes on turning 30, a milestone they’ve both hurtled past since last catching up. Turns out it might not be as utterly horrendously terrifying as Mitch seems to believe? The boys also discuss the very topical… um, topic of drag for children and why it is categorically NOT grooming.All this and a barrel of laughs in what is the penultimate episode of Message on the Machine.

32:44||Season 5, Ep. 66Hello dear listeners.It's us, Age & Mitch in the copy this week, to let you know that while we have curated our usual fun-filled Catch Up Call for you all, it also comes with some slightly sad news. For the full scoop on what's going on with MOTM, give the ep a bloody listen 'cause we'll get that out of the way upfront. Before resuming with your regularly scheduled programming.Catching up this week, Age has been busyyyyy over the break with the start of a new decade, a new man and a new business all on the agenda. Mitch... has had a slightly less eventful break but we'll let him tell you about that himself. This catch up call is a funny one because the boys had months of headlines to trawl through to bring you the very best of what's been on their mind. Some important things were most likely forgotten, but many things weren't. Of course we would be referring to a certain fallen Monarch, the upcoming Glee docuseries, Frank Ocean's iconiqe cock ring and two foxy morons returning to the small screen. How's that for a roundup?For all this and more, dive on into the very first Catch Up Call of Season 5!

47:03||Season 5, Ep. 65Hold onto your hats people, because MOTM is back, back BACK AGAIN!Yes, you read correctly. Your two favourite gay boys are behind the mics for Season 5, and a very important discussion about growing up.Since our hosts wrapped Season 4, resident old bag Age big adieu to his twenties, while Mitch has remained a beacon of controlled youthful chaos. This gave the boys reason to pause, and consider some of the big questions. What makes an adult? How do you become one? Have we made it yet? When will our good looks begin to fade?For all the scientific and well-researched answers to these questions (and so much more) dive back into the brand-spanking new season of Message on the Machine and you too might gain some clarity on whether you’ve already left your childhood behind, or if there’s still time to grow the bloody hell up.Make sure you're the first one to press play on every message we leave on your machine by following/subscribing on your favourite podcast platform and leaving us a GLOWING review.

01:02:16||Season 4, Ep. 64Oh em gee, It's the season finale and we're talking about loooooove.Now I know what you're thinking: what do Age & Mitch know about this delicate, complex human phenomenon? And if you're thinking just about fuck all then you're spot on. Which is why they've called in reinforcements. Joining our hosts in the studio today is acclaimed love, sex and relationships coach Dr. Lurve. (Don't ask her full name because she won't tell you. Hot.)Nonetheless, this spicy lady holds nothing else back as she unpacks each of the boys' current romantic... situations. In a completely brutal and hilarious style. Beyond that they discuss falling in love, being single, monogamy, polygamy, cheating, the list goes on!As some of you have realised by now, this is a pretty gay show so of course, conversation turns to relos specifically of the same-sex persuasion. Turns out all the discourse around how it's impossible to date as a gay man is a load of shit and maybe we are, in fact, the problem?What we all thought would be a hilarious and sexy chat over the mics turned out to be, well, just that. But if you pay attention to what iconic Dr. Lurve has to say you might actually learn something. So whip out your fave vibrator (or don't, no stress) and enjoy our final ep of Season Four. Meanwhile, we are off to go fight for the love we deserve.Thank you so much for another ripper of a season. Couldn't have done it without each and every one of you crazy binches. Enjoy the time off as a chance to go back and relive some of the classics and we'll be back on the air in two shakes of a... well, you get it.This episode was brought to you by Sophie Cosmetica.Check them out at sophiecosmetica.com or on insta @sophie.cosmeticaMake sure you're the first one to press play on every message we leave on your machine by following/subscribing on your favourite podcast platform and leaving us a GLOWING review.
