You guys. This episode is absolutely crazy!!! Coo coo bananas!!! Mel LITERALLY EATS her fidget toy (NOT CLICKBAIT!!! OMG!!) And we definitely say a lot of things in this episode! Things that are worth saying. This one’s absolutely STACKED with facts and stories and things and discussions and unpacking and is definitely NOT a hodge-podge of next to nothing-ness!!

In this ep, the girls celebrate the election win, unpack how and why voting feels a tiny bit NQR (not quite right), Sam chats about meeting and filming with Greens leader Adam Bandt, Mel chats her theatrical ventures to the Beep Test musical and Jesus Christ Superstar this week (where audience etiquette reaaaaally comes in to question), the girls chat about the time an audience member tried to shush them, ‘the Saturday effect’ and the story of Sam’s unbelievable feat in managing to secure a red-carpet-ready outfit at the literal AIRPORT.

The girls also announce that they are headlining Sydney Pride Fest! Tickets are on sale now, you can buy them HERE: https://events.humanitix.com/the-platonic-human-centipede

OKAY THAT’S ALL - LOVE YOU!! See you for Ratbag on Monday with theeeeeee amazing WILL GIBB!

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.

The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.

Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
