Ratbag with Mel & Sam

Happy Holidays you little rats and welcome to the very special Christmas episode!This weeks episode is absolutely multi-purpose. You may use her to high-tail it to the shops and brave the last minute Christmas shopping (don't do a Natio giftpack!! We believe in you!!). You may also use her to wrap your presents (please for the love of god, you better not have picked up a Natio giftpack Jason). You may also simply pop her in your ear holes when you're full of prawns and need to take your 4pm nap before backyard cricket (Straya!!).In this weeks episode the girls unpack THE cultural event of the Australian calendar - Carols by Candlelight. They also talk favourite Holiday traditions, movies, naughty and nice lists all while sending it home with a brand new Aussie Christmas carol that will have the Aussie 'Jingle Bells' shaking in its santa boots. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, this is our gift-wrapped Holiday special from our little hearts to you.Happy Holidays you rats!

But yes, this is what you signed up for so we won’t be hearing any COMPLAINING, OKAY RATS !!!In this week’s Ratfood, we’re cracking open a cold one and chatting all things from shoplifting (something we’ve personally NEVER done!!!) to the Better Man film (low key slapped) and a million things in between. Horny Christmas, a beautiful Jewish wedding, a full moon, a Birds Eye bonanza, a praise kink and a pork epiphany - this episode’s got it all!Stay cool in this heat, cuties!! We’ll see you for more VERY important content in next Monday’s Ratbag.

In this weeks episode, the girls unpack the hit TV show "Love Is Blind" - fall in love with us for our voice, not our face THANKS. Mel tests the ultimate level of extroversion and the two "musical theatre rap" (derogatory) to the subject of the frostiest king - Walt Disney.All this and more is waiting for you, so go for gold and give us a spin!! As always we will see ya this Thursday for our beloved 'Ratfood'.Love you!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.

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.

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.

Alright, lil rats, this is a safe space. Raise your hand if you have ever listened to a song just because you KNOW it’ll make your Spotify Wrapped just that liiiiiiittle bit cooler (we see you <3 )In this week’s Ratfood, Mel & Sam chat about a rapidly growing makeup trend that they OBVIOUSLY single-handedly started, they unpack the unparalleled horrors of self-taping (in which Mel shares an embarrassing clip from a self-tape that almost ruined her life this week), the pair chat Mrs Doubtfire, sweaty bums, the perils of being hangry (note: heat-angry) and finally … *drum roll please* it is CHRISTMAS COME EARLY in the world of music as they predict what their own soon-to-be-released Spotify Wrapped will look like.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.
