Ratbag with Mel & Sam

RIP The Ellen Show. You Would’ve LOVED ‘Eastern Rosellas’ :(

Ratbag with Mel & Sam

Show Notes

Hi hunnis!!!

Welcome to your platter full of ratfood for the day.

It’s a gorgyyy giggly one today as we bop all around the place chatting about everything from 7 year old Miles’ Phillips’ song ‘Eastern Rosellas’ taking the internet by storm, to a wedding dress shop blunder by Sam, some stories about our dad’s music listening tendencies that make us giggle, our desire for an Australian Ellen, and everything in between.

We also answer the question “What are 5 things that are ACTUALLY worth the money”, and wax lyrical on some of the material things we can’t live without.

We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.

Okay! Love you, bye!

xx

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.
