Rats In The Gutter

Auckland, the Babylon of Australasia. Home to award-winning creatives/ aspiring Jezebels Sam Te Kani and Johanna Cosgrove. Join them as they navigate daily life in a gorgeous South Pacific necropolis here at civilization’s end. Not deterred in the least by back-to-back lockdowns and a shortage of worthwhile intimacies, Te Kani and Cosgrove barrel headfirst into themes and experiences any modern twenty-something will recognise. From finding love when every other guy is a flakey bisexual, to the ego disorders of our noted socialites, and minor takeout addictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Maybe, That’s The Clit

    This episode is proudly supported by ReWired.org.nz - a non-judgemental support group for people who want to bring their Party 'n' Play into focus. Not an easter special by any measure but Jesus Christ does get a mention by way of his unofficial bio-epic JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, of which Johanna is a recent convert. We’d also be remiss if we didn’t touch on Katy Perry going to space, mostly because of our deep collective grief (as a species) that she just didn’t stay up there (orbiting the planet; intermittently bumping into one of Musk’s largely ornamental satellite chains). Also also, we discuss Mickey Rourke’s recent bullying of a literal child, Jojo Siwa; and how absurd it is that an older generation of lesbian should punch down on a younger one, and so publicly.

    Put It In The Bag

    Jubba Hive Rise! This week (under the looming shadow of . . . well, everything right now) the rats find small (guilty) joy in spending absurd amounts of money. We explore the magic of mushrooms, and in doing so are forced to confront the abjectly humiliating auras of those who love mushrooms a little too much. We touch on China’s mycelial trade reach, the absurdity of tariffs, the unbearable lightness of Jabba, all lightly spritzed with the usual caustic psychobabble you’ve come to know and loathe. Also, what are the real dangers of waxing your scrotum. And is it really such a faux pas to call it a ‘Manzillian’? And finally, whose anal trough is more appealing; Sam’s or Johanna’s (you wanna know, and we wanna tell you). And please forgive the sub-woofing sound of Sam’s vape—it’s one of the few reasons he has to get out of bed in the morning Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Labia to Linoleum

    Johanna is in Melbourne doing the comedy circuit. So begins a month or so of long distance episodes. Kinda like Heloise and Abelard but without the platonic eroticism. And instead of a medieval cloister the rats are sending each other passionate missives from an air mattress and a shared artist studio, respectively. Highlights include sudden death, the Abu Ghraib-adjacent regimen of reformer pilates, and Picnic at Hanging Rock (which should cost definitely NOT be remade). Hosted on Acast.

    The Unbearable Vices of Being

    Despite there being very little reason to live at the moment, what with the kinds of geopolitical instability unseen in the west since the end of WW2, the rats manage to find joy in the little things. Like wings from Dominos. The ferocious ally-ship of Azealia Banks (and how JK Rowling betrayed the millennials responsible for her ill-begot fortune). DIY glory-holes with strangers (only a towel and a shower door needed!). And nostalgic tv shows (which when indulged, more often than not, are a clear sign of an incoming depression). Also, what the effing eff are The Humours and why are they relevant in Severance? If this is the second coming of Lost we’ll be very annoyed.

    Trilling echolalia of the inner chamber, walls slowly closing in, but they’re gilt chintz so we don’t mind. Also fuck Luxon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    CHARMING THE ADDER
