We hope you enjoy a different kind of ep this week, she's a real special one! See you on Thursday for 'Ratfood!'

    Is December 10 Just A Simon Cowell Midlife Crisis?!

    14/01/2026 | 35 mins.
    Hellooooo RAT DEN!

    Happy Ratfood day to youuu. Today we go INNN on a dissection of the new Netflix documentary ‘Simon Cowell: The Next Act’, and the creation of the brand new boy band ‘December 10’.

    After Pop Star Academy and the creation and smash hit of Katseye, we were MEGA keen to see what this was all about and we absolutely have thoughts a plentyyy.

    We cover everything from rogue marketing choices, to what we consider to be a bung steer of a launch, to our fave members, what we see for their future as a group and everything in between.

    Hope life is good wherever you are in the world reading this. Sending lots of love and cheese cubes as always, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

    We’ll see ya for another Ratbag on Monday.

    Love ya!

    Mel & Sam

    xoxo

    Ms Hannigan Would Top Daddy Warbucks

    11/01/2026 | 40 mins.
    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 always

    A Holographic Pop Socket Held For Ransom

    07/01/2026 | 31 mins.
    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 & Sam

    Mary Poppins Without Her Bag Of Bits, Is Merely Just A Woman

    04/01/2026 | 43 mins.
    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!!!
