Hey lil cuties! It's time for another episode and we are so happy you are here!! We kick off with a Tech Chat surrounding if we would install the ultimate accounts 'microchip'. Then we have a write in from Papa Tom as he has a devestating realisation about the sanctity of Shorts and Longs. Then we create some new gestures because the wave is out, and the scissor jazz hands are in. We finish up singing about 'chipping on & chipping off"". It's a real fun one.See you on Thursday for another Ratfood!Love Mel & Sam xx—Follow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.
