It's Mates Rates 2.0, and the podcast coach has advised the boys that they need a theme song (stay tuned for that). Plus, they play a round of the Three Word Game, get excited about An Evening Of Magic, get less excited about Kristo's potential handstand, and Sammy needs help solving his own personal financial crisis.

It's a new era for the Mates Rates podcast; we're being coached by a professional to make sure this podcast is the best on the market. However, like all good things, it may take a few episodes to really see the full effects of our investment.

Also, we write an open letter to Europe despite potentially not knowing what an open letter entails, and hear an explicit message from our latest One Word Weird winner.

The boys are back from Edinburgh and get straight back in the studio, where they belong. It's also young Tom's birthday, so Kristo and Sammy (and Producer Em) surprise him with presents that he reluctantly accepts and sticks his fingers into.

Plus, Sammy's neighbour has served him with a new set of legal threats.

It is with a heavy heart that, after what can only be described as a life-changing month, we must bid farewell to Edinburgh, the fringe festival and all the lovely people we’ve met along the way. From our snoring roommate to all the Mates Rates fans we’ve met, you’ll all be missed. In this ep we recap our last week while we’re in the middle of our staff party, as well as calling up some very friendly Scottish pubs to try find our non-existent friends. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and we’ve got very good at doing Scottish accents. We certainly had a great time, guys!

Week 3 of our Edinburgh experience and the boys are down but not out. Hostel work is taking its toll and a diet of supermarket sandwiches is probably not what’s needed to function on 4 hours of sleep. Nonetheless we persevere through inconsistent showers, magic shows, Oasis concerts and so much more.

Tom has made his arrival and he’s looking as fashionable as ever. The boys talk through another week in Edinburgh working in the hostel, a loud snoring roommate, a trip to the highlands as well as confusing scottish food. Plus an unexpected guest threatens the position of Kristo and Sammy in the Mates Rates organisation.

The boys have flown to Scotland and boy are their arms tired! (just kidding of course). Tom is yet to arrive but Sammy and Kristo are here to take you through their adventures in London and their whirlwind trip to Ibiza including Sammy's once-in-a-lifetime experience seeing Calvin Harris. You don't want to miss this ep!

The boys are off to Scotland for the biggest Fringe Festival in the world! What is a fringe festival I hear you ask? Well we might answer that on this weeks show along with other questions such as: Will Kristo rescue his passport in time for the trip? Will Tom be packing clean or dirty clothes? And How many email addresses can Sammy recruit while he's over there.

This week the boys swapped the comfy chairs of the podcast studio for the hard plastic with attached desk chairs of the classroom as they sought to expand their mindbrains and broaden the depths of their thinking powers. Sammy tried his hand at the ancient art of scrabble, Kristo sought IT assistance for a computer with a mysterious problem (no problem at all it turns out) and Tom was helped by a familiar sounding British man to learn more about one of his favourite hobbies - podcasting. Have a great time guys.

Three of Australia's hottest new musicians were joined on the couch by Asher and Tom from The Rions to dissect what many are calling the 3 greatest songs since The Beatles final record. Despite the greatness of all 3, one has been chosen by our panel of experts as the greatest of the great, but who will it be? Will it be Kristo's Realty Rockstar, Sammy's Sh*t Stains (explicit version) or Tom's Praying on Paper? Listen to find out.
