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

    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!
