  1. 59. Throw Another Shrimp (Prawn!) on the Barbie

    59. Throw Another Shrimp (Prawn!) on the Barbie

    Send us a text G’day everyone! In this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy are as Aussie as a sausage sizzle out the front of Bunnings on a Sunday!   Fresh off a very recent cousin catch-up in Melbourne with laneway adventures, Tims-toasties, and a bit of classic Gogg & McGoch in the Royal Arcade, they’re bang on headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of Aussie sayings. 🇦🇺 From “G’day mate” to “flat out like a lizard drinking,” this one’s basically a love letter to all things Aussie. 🍤 And of course… the big one: Throw Another Shrimp on the Barbie (even though we don’t say shrimp, we don’t put prawns on the barbie, and let’s be honest — it’s usually just snags or bangers). Then they take things global with their top international sayings, attempting them in the native language (please brace yourself) before translating and rating their faves. Its a bit of a dogs breakfast but with plenty of laughs, a few linguistic disasters, its fair-dinks enough Aussie slang to last you ’til next Christmas, this episode is a bloody ripper.  You’ll finish it by saying “fair dinkum,” whether you’re Aussie or not. Honest  that’s no bull! And if you’ve got a cracking saying from your country (or your family!), jump onto the Two Cousins One Chat Facebook page, the cousins want to hear it. Good onya mate.

  2. 57. I Would Never Do That Now!

    57. I Would Never Do That Now!

    Send us a text In this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy take another trip down memory lane and straight into the category of “I would never do that now” . It’s all about the things we did as kids (or in our wild wild 20s) that we would just hands down never ever do now. 🚲 Kristy confesses to late-night bike rides with a dodgy dynamo light she absolutely hated, underage nightclub appearances, and even lighting her mum’s cigarettes as a kid (yep, different times folks!). 🍻 Ben admits he wasn’t exactly adventurous, but he did his fair share of questionable choices, from cheap booze binges and country road trips in the back of a ute (sans seat belts), to swiping ciggies from his teacher’s handbag. This is a true story! Between recent holidays, Adelaide’s City to Bay run, and the new 36ers’ NBL season, the cousins warm up before diving into this nostalgic list of “absolutely never again’zzzzz.”  Of course with loads of laughs and a massive dose of “we sound so bloody ancient,” this one will have you cringing, nodding, and remembering your own “I would never do that now’s”  P.S. We’ve got a special guest coming up next episode, the amazing artist Anna Blatman. Bright colours, happy vibes, and some creative inspo you won’t want to miss! 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, BuzzSprout, YouTube, Apple Podcast, or your favourite podcast platform what ever that is. 💬 Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Music, and the Great Australian Podcast Directory.

    56. Research Roulette: Aussie "Big Things" & Beer

    Send us a text In this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy hit the research roulette wheel and swap topics for a deep dive, colds, sniffles, and all. Yes, we might have sounded a bit like congested detectives, but we powered through. 🎡 Ben’s mission? Crack open Australia’s love affair with all the Aussie Big Things, from the Big Banana to Ben's fav the Giant Rocking Horse and figure out why over a thousand of these massive icons have weaved their way into Aussie DNA. 🍺 Kristy’s challenge? Trace the history of beer.  From ancient bubbling brews in faraway lands she struggles to pronounce to fancy craft beer culture and the frothy place it holds in Aussie hearts including the Aussie Shandy! With a just a dash of research plus a few detours, this episode proves that even with blocked noses, we can still serve up peak cousin banter coughs and all! P.S. who do you think nailed it? Let us know.
