Message on the Machine

Backrolls!?

Today, to mark the end of Pride Month, Mitch & Age have enlisted the help of dear friend and drag superstar Jimi The Kween for a very special little kiki. Together they discuss his/her journey from a young boy in Perth to the glamazon that tornadoes through the Australian drag scene today.

Expect secrets to be revealed. From how he picked his name to how many layers of tights it takes to turn this man into a woman. The boys get the dirt on Jimi's time on the voice and hear some hilarious BTS stories of what it's really like being a working kween Down Undah. Jimi tells the people what he loves about drag, what he HATES, why SuperBargains is a must-visit for any aspiring drag star and what looks he'd put the boys in on their debut outing.

Through all the screaming however, they also found time for a bit of gritty conversation. Natch. Mitch & Age delve into how Jimi identifies in and out of drag, and what it is about JTK that makes him feel so alive. So much covered in so little time! You'll want a drink for this one.

Hello, you rang?

This week Mitch & Age are back at it again doing what they do best - having a good ole chinwag.

There's plenty to cover in the sophomore edition of The Catch Up Call. Weekend shenanigans, hangovers from hell, gay dating in rural Victoria and upskilling in a tentatively post-pandemic Australia. The last few weeks in politics saw Victorian Premier Daddy Dan land in hospital with a fratured vertebrae, and some very topical ex-royals spilling some very royal T. But what did these two astute political minds think of all this? One way to find out.

Stay tuned for various life updates and a bit of the standard procedure celebrity goss. All-in-all, a bumper 30 mins for your listening pleasure.

It's that time of year again. Some call it gay Christmas, others call it a festival of pure love. Pauline Hanson calls it the dismantling of traditional Australian values.

No matter who you are or who you vote for, it's impossible to ignore the fact that March is pride month down under, and Mitch & Age think that's a beautiful thing. So much so, that they've decided to dedicate the entirety of their TWENTIETH (!!) episode to the flagship Australian queer event: Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival.

Much more than just an excuse to get ratshit with the gals, Mardi Gras actually has a rich history born out of an enormous struggle by queer Australians of years past. So settle in, because the boys have done their research this week and are prepared to school the children. Once the talk of history is wrapped, settle in for a classic MOTM gossip on the whole damn festival. What's everyone wearing, which performances stole the show, and who's sleeping with whom. Or who didn't sleep with anyone. And listen in for a confession from Age that may shock.

We are wishing everyone who tunes in to this ep an enormous Happy Pride Month! Thank you for being authentically queer, or uplifting and supporting queer voices. We see you and we love you all.

What do Shrek, The Godfather and Your Message, Our Machine have in common? Popular demand forced the producers to create an excellent sequel.

That's right, the boys are back with another episode that is centred all around you, the gorgeous listeners, and your burning questions, agonising woes and sick imaginations. In the second instalment of Your Message, Our Machine, Mitch & Age discuss celebrity threesomes, sperm donation, cheating best friends and being mistaken for women.

As we know, the golden rule of this podcast is: nothing's off the table. So pour yourself a mimosa and enjoy the episode where you guys have all the power to make two gays sweat in front of the mics. After that, get in early and line up your questions, scenarios and advice seeking now for the next time MOTM throws to the people. We're always around to take a message via insta DM or email. (Voice memos obviously encouraged.)

Flames to dust. Lover's to friends. Don't forget to subscribe when this episode ends.

That's right, this week Mitch & Age are talking all things heartbreak. The tragic emotional rollercoaster that inspired a thousand Adele songs. As usual, the boys are coming at this one from two very different angles. Age having had his heart shattered in the past, and Mitch still checking for a pulse. Nevertheless, there is much to discuss.

They threw to you, the listeners, to help unpack what it feels like to have your heart broken and how to drag yourself out of it. Unrequited love, what songs will get you through it all, and when a heart breaks, does it really breakeven? Mitch & Age share their own stories of brushes with a wounded heart and pulled some absolute pearlers from their dear listeners too.

Parting is such sweet sorrow... but don't stress, we'll be back next week.

Alright ladies, let’s have a chat.

This week Age & Mitch have bravely gone where no episode has ever gone and come into the studio... without a topic. Inspired by their standard Sunday morning phone calls that can really end up anywhere, the boys have brought you a very special episode they’re calling The Catch Up Call.

Pour yourself a vino and settle in for a quintessential gasbag, covering everything from Saturday night antics, to the Super Bowl Half-Time Show. #FreeBritney, broken blenders, COVID tests and clingy one-night-stands. Often silly, never serious, it's time to just hang out and talk some shit.

You don't need a psychic to tell you that this episode is going to be a good one. But we brought her in anyway.

Today the boys are joined in the studio by Rosa; Psychic Medium, Reiki Pratcitioner and complete icon, to chat about her mystical world and incredible gifts. They covered horoscopes, numerology, spirits and angels. And asked the question on every listener's lips: should Mitch & Age be dating?

Settle in for a deep dive into this unknown and complex world. And let us know if you'd like to see Rosa back again because there was plenty more to ask.

So you've been talking to this great person. You've been on a couple of dates. Things are going well. You're thinking November for the wedding. And then you never hear from them again.

A thematic sequel to last week's "The Ick," this week's episode discusses what can happens when the shoe is on the other foot, and you end up getting ghosted. Age & Mitch have both been victims to this awful fate on more than one occasion, and so consider themselves quite the experts on the matter. They also shamefully admit that they have been the ghosts here and there and so deserve exactly what happens to them.

Join the boys as they deep dive into what ghosting is, why it happens, and how to track down a ghost and dispose of their body. They also share some of their own best stories and the one from a gorgeous listener that inspired this ep.

We all know it. We all dread it. We all love to talk about it.

This week Age & Mitch discuss the largely unresearched phenomenon that is "the ick." Arriving at often the most inconvenient time, and being completely indiscriminate with its victims, the ick is... well you'll have to listen to the ep to find out.

The boys unpack this mysterious affliction, where does it come from and why? How to deal with it, is there a cure, and even threw to you, the listeners, to find out what random events have given you the ick. Spoiler alert: y'all are a pack of nasty fucking bitches. As always, expect plenty of laughs and not much science on this educational journey of discovery.

Time for a coupla beers with the boys. This week Mitch & Age welcomed their very first guests into the studio. What better duo to pop the cherry than Paul Clemente and Jackson Kew, co-owners of Empower Club, and the team responsible for Age's rig.

Empower Club (@empowerclubofficial) is one of Melbourne's best functional group training gyms, headed up by these beautiful strapping men. Inspired by New Years resolutions and everyone's current quest for self improvement, Mitch & Age thought they'd pull the boys in to chat all things fitness, health, nutrition and business ownership.

Inviting two straight men into the studio was always going to be a task but the result is a bumper episode of giggles, screams, swearing and pure chaos (the straights are so dramatic). If you listen really closely you might even learn something. The MOTM team were so grateful to have Paul and Jacko in the studio to for a chat this week. And Mitch & Age were happy to return the favour and explain to them how to douche.
