Plus, she dishes on her “wild hair” disaster during a major work photo shoot.

Welcome back to Two Cousins One Chat! In this episode, we dive into "You Think You Know Me But You Don’t Know Me Part 2."

We've walked this path before in Part 1, and now, despite being family, Ben and Kristy discover even more surprising things about each other. We learn about how Ben got into trouble at work and how Kristy was a first responder at Richmond Station.

After attending a local exhibition, Kristy kicks things off with some fascinating facts about her local suburb of Bayside, revealing it as one of Australia's most important fossil areas. This totally aligns with Ben, who has been binge-watching a Netflix documentary about Earth's great extinctions, although Bayside didn't get a mention!

July is a great month for sports enthusiasts and insomniacs alike, with both Ben and Kristy obsessed with the Tour de France and Wimbledon and still buzzing from their chat with Mike Tomalaris. Kristy shares her tips on embracing sleepless nights filled with sports and confesses her addiction to Tansy Forrest's hypnosis sessions. Ben admits that during July, he's also glued to the SBS coverage of the Tour de France with little to no sleep!

We also tease the upcoming series, "Spotlight on Community: Tell Me More!" featuring inspiring figures like Helen from Nhill and Wendy Bywaters and special guests from Ben.

Enjoy this episode and thanks for listening!

🎉 Welcome to the latest episode of Two Cousins One Chat! From Melbourne to Adelaide, we’re bringing you more cousin banter from all corners of Australia! 🌏 🤣

Ben and Kristy are preparing for our annual chat with Mike Tomalaris and everything Tour de France. Also, we want to give a big shoutout to all our listeners from Canada! 🍁

In this episode, we're diving into the Two Cousins One Chat Mail Bag! 📬

We are addressing some hilarious and relatable complaints. Kristy kicks things off with a story about a recent cinema ordeal involving a noisy chip eater that nearly led to a confrontation. Next, we discuss the annoyance of people who burp while talking, exploring why it happens and how it can irritate. 

Then, we delve into the frustration of people who talk with food caught in their throats. We’ll talk about why some people do this and the risks involved.  We also have some honourable mentions, like dirty windows, name and shame pics, and Dee’s (Ben’s mum) struggles with self-checkout. Plus, we share some of Mum’s hilarious complaint letters to organisations.

And finally, we ponder a quirky question: is it okay to zip up someone’s backpack if it’s open? 🤔
