Ratbag with Mel & Sam

Hey rats!! Welcome to another Ratbag episode. In today’s episode we begin with the near impossible game where Mel tests Sam to see if she can tell the difference between a text from Sam, or from Mel’s girlfriend Sara. Our hotline asks the question 'what are the rules when it comes to online dating ettiquite?' and then there’s a wildly unnecessary unpacking over which celebrities top and which don’t. To finish our ‘Hit It Toots’ has us singing as the Ginger Bread Man and Pinocchio. Hope you enjoy divas!!See you on Thursday for another ‘Ratfood!’Love you alwaysXX Mel and 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. And remember, our Bring Bring Bitch hotline is always open! You can also send submissions to [email protected]!—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.—A Grouse House PodcastRecorded at Haven't You Done WellProduced by Thomas Zahariou & Lucy Bain Hosted on Acast.

Hiiii cutie pies!!Happy Ratfood day to one to all. Hope ya ready for a lil nibbleeee on some silly silly stories in this giggly, giggly ep because we have packed them IN today.We open the ep unpacking Lucy’s cruise romance (can’t beLIEVE we missed the opportunity for a joke around Lucy Bain/Bain Marie but - here we are!!) and we absolutely FAIL to craft her the perfect message. Sammy then opens up a curious can of worms to do with penne and planes (flight attendants pls explain yourselves in the comments), and finally - Sam hits us with a THRILLING tale that we are honestly still gagged at from her week about how she lost her phone, and more importantly … how she got it back. WILD.Hope you’re all staying cool in this bananasss heat wave we’re having here in Aus! And sending lots of love cheese cubes as always.See ya for another Ratbag on Monday.Love ya!Mel & Samxoxo—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.

Well hello there bbys! Thanks for joining us again!In today's episode Sam gets inspired by Tyra Banks' recent Hot Ice Cream venture which encourages a conversation around inventions and the ones we need, and really do not need. Our hotline asks us the vital question 'what cars would musical theatre characters drive?' and someone get the cast of Matilda OFF the e-scooters please!!! We then head to school and imagine we are a principal hiring staff for our teaching cohort, but the spanner is, we can only cast celebrities. She's a super silly one we hope you enjoy!Love you v much!!!XX Mel and 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.

Hello there rats and welcome to the new year... well... the week of the new year!!!In today's episode we bring back our 'ins and outs' for 2026, and from Mel's desire for us to chat to our neighbours and Sam's interest in bringing 'toe socks' back, our lists are packed! We then reflect on the year that was, the highlights, the lowlights and the things we are grateful for (a huge one being you) in the bumper year that was 2025. Our 'Kick Ons' has us designing our own dream NYE party whilst skipping NO details, and building the beach hang of our dreams, and then our 'Hit It Toots!' has us improvising the perfect, soulless, corporate New Years song. A terrific ai-spooky-but-actually-live-by-us song that is the perfect way to shiver into the new year.Thanks as always for listening, we love you!!See you on Thursday for another ‘Ratfood!’Love you alwaysXX Mel and 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.
