Ratbag with Mel & Sam

• SAY NO TO BULLYING: Live From Adelaide Fringe

  Mel & Sam coming to you live from their 73 degree accomodation at Adelaide Fringe to chat all things tour life, specific challenges they face when on the road together and within their growing friendship/partnership, some rogue flyering experiences they’ve had so far at the fringe, the joys of seeing the new generations of feminists join the ranks (let’s go gen alpha!!) and more. The girls also read a hotline question where they give advice to performers thinking of producing their own show for the very first time, and chat self care, shows they’ve seen in the last week and WHO CARES, JUST LISTEN TO THE EP ALREADY!!Sorry, the heat is making us mad. (Actually, let’s be honest … it’s just making Mel mad).We hope you’re having a stunnorama week wherever you are, and we’ll see you for more VERY important content on Monday! And hopefully at ’The Platonic Human Centipede’ if you’re an Adelaide listener!Here’s the deets if you’re after some tickets:LIVE SHOW TICKETS:ADELAIDE: https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/the-platonic-human-centipede-af2025MELBOURNE: https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows/no-hat-no-play-the-cabaret/We love ya,Mel & Samxx—You can watch the full video form of this episode on YouTube HERE: https://youtube.com/@themelandsam?si=jzeN-E_-DcE-DGHSFollow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.

• Why School Of Rock Is The Greatest Film Ever Made

  Hey there you rats!! Today we are travelling back to 2003. The year the greatest fiilm (according to Mel O'Brien) was made. Much like Mel's 'Sam-Hasn't-Seen-This-Film-Quiz' from some episodes back, this week the tables are reversed and Sam is quizzing Mel on a film she knows inside out: 'School of Rock but these questions are hard. Very hard.The girls then unpack moving out of home and their experience with housemates/ rent inspections. There is then a brilliant question in the 'Bring Bring Bitch' Hotline that centres around 'How to navigate non-monogomy'. To bring it home there is an insufferably hard 'Kick On's' question and a ridiculous 'Hit It Toots' that would make Jack Black proud.Thanks for tuning in and as always we will see you on Thursday for another silly, silly 'Ratfood!'.

• #SayNoToCoolBaristas

  Heya you little legends and welcome to another 'Ratbag' by your favourite queer comedy duo: Mel & Sam. In this week's episode Mel comes in all guns blazing with a bold take on baristas. If you're at a cafe rn we ask you to look around and play along, 'Where's Wally' style and see if one is amongst you too, we then ask you to look within and join our movement #saynotocoolbaristas. This episode also includes a very important listener question about queer sex which we loved unpacking. Sam then shares a life hack that gets her through the day and it's all with a healthy dose of bullying-via-lockscreen-wallpaper. This is a bumper to bumper episode so get on it you rats!! See ya Thursday for another 'Ratfood!'
