Hello treasured rats. Feel free to make as much noise as you like as you listen to this ep. Why? Because we’re HAPPY YOU’RE HAVING A GOOD TIME, AND DON’T CARE IF WE HEAR YOU THROUGH THE WALLS!!

This week, Mel’s in Sydney on a theatre-seeing and friend-seeing trip, and Sam has single handedly shot down the careers aspirations of a 2025 up and coming Class Clown at the local bagel shop.

We chat everything from early 2000s lunchbox snacks through to the ‘bean soup’ theory, sex through the walls and beyond!

We’re also coming to a city near you very soon for live shows and would LOVE to see you there. You can find the links to our upcoming shows in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide below. We’d love to meet you all to say hi after the show!

PERTH: https://fringeworld.com.au/whats_on/the-platonic-human-centipede-fw2025

As always, thank you for listening to this absolutely buffoonery, and we’ll see you for more VERY important content in Monday’s Ratbag.

Lots of love (and cheese cubes)

Mel & Sam

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.

Hey hey you little rats and welcome to another jam packed episode of 'Ratbag' hosted by Australia's biggest child star: Mel O'Brien and America's most promising gymnast: Samantha Andrew.

This week's episode is all about owning up to our biggest blunders including a trip to a cancer ward, a persistant stain and a famous baby ad throwback starring Mel O'Briens baby body-ody-ody. In today's 'Ratbag' we share some spine tingling ghost stories that will have you avoiding mirrors for the forseeable future, before launching into an impossible FMK involving mommy Julia Gillard because its always important to chat politics.

Whether you are a new listener and are still figuring out what the f is going on, or you're a loyal fan back for another week of bullshit, we love you so much and are stoked you're joining us! Ta-ta!

Mel will no longer be reachable via the usual channels. We don’t know if you heard but … she got bangs?? She will now only be contactable via Anna Wintour herself (her new agent!)

In this week’s Ratfood, the girls chat desserts (who in their right mind is enjoying COOKED fruit?!), late-in-life personality/hobby rebrands, their thoughts on Anora, re-connecting with old friends, queer partying and of course … the bangs that broke the internet (and much more).

We’ll see you for more VERY important content in next Monday’s Ratbag. And remember. Vegetables shouldn’t be sweet. Fruit shouldn’t be hot. And food tech teachers shouldn’t be misogynists! Words to live by.

Pls promise you’ll still support us even when Aunty Donna inevitably fire us for not being spiritually aligned with Pud, and as always - THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!

WE LOVE YOU!!

xx
