The Catch Up Call #12

Dear listener, it's time to catch up.Indeed it's that time again, where we all pour ourselves a wine and sit down to catch up with our two best gays. It's time for The Catch Up Call and Age & Mitch have been through the bloody ringer this week just for your aural pleasure.Since we last spoke, one half of our talent has battled COVID and the other half has battled some kind of demonic super flu but the show must go on. And so here they are to talk about it. Other happenings in the lives of our hosts are that it's all coming up Age, with a sweet new car and a hot new boy both on the agenda. Less so for Mitch who has been the victim of a vicious and hilarious practical joke at the hands of his 9-5 boss. More on that inside.In the news, the boys unpack the garment saga that's launched a million tweets. Kimmy K tearing Marilyn's iconic dress to smithereens! But whomst is really to blame? Beyoncé has new music on the way which has us all chomping at the bit, and a gorge win for the lesbians comes from an unlikely place. While we're on lesbians, we welcome Rebel Wilson to the Pink Army. Even if the circumstances of this outcoming were FAR less than ideal. Not cool SMH, not cool.All the above and more crammed into this little instalment of TCUC. All you need to do is draw yourself a lovely hot bath and hit play.This episode was brought to you by Sophie Cosmetica.Check them out at sophiecosmetica.com or on insta @sophie.cosmeticaMake sure you're the first one to press play on every message we leave on your machine by following/subscribing on your favourite podcast platform and leaving us a GLOWING review.

Pride Month

Hi Gay.And a happy Pride Month to you. If you're not across this very special event that sees the whole world painted rainbow, then firstly, where tf have you been hiding. And secondly, this is probably not the podcast for you. In honour of the gayest month of the year, Age & Mitch thought this week they'd take a moment to unpack exactly what in fact is this thing we call Pride?The boys throw back to the Stonewall Riots, where the whole modern gay rights movement began and we started celebrating just how glam chic hot gorge we all are, tracking through to the modern day pride festivals where we continue this tradition. Conversation turns to the way corporations are getting involved in the fun, and the situation known as "rainbow washing" where some of them basically gaslight us to sell rainbow shit.Our hosts discuss what pride means for each of them, why we need it today just as much as ever before, and how to engage with it this June. All in all, the boys doing what they do best which is talk about gay shit.

The time for you sickos to take control of Age & Mitch's fates and set the meeting agenda for this message on the machine.In our classic opener, Leave us a Message, you wanted to know what hath happened with Adrian's previously discussed first date, and what in the hell is with Mitch and his carrots. And the boys are happy to share. Discussion also (somehow) returns to politics and then the age-old question: Melbourne or Sydney?Our hosts are also launching an exciting new segment we're calling Confessions on the Machine. A chance for you to air your dirty laundry (anon ofc) so that the boys can unpack on air for the joys of the masses. Can we just say, they weren't sure what you’d deliver but holy fucking shit. If the maiden voyage has served us a secret star-crossed romance between one of our listeners and a professional athlete, well then honey are we in for a treat.Once you've finished the ep, get in early and line up your questions, comments and confessions now for the next time MOTM throws to the people. We're always around to take a message via insta DM or email.

Talking Shit with Louis Hanson

In the words of a wise man: hey besties.This week Age & Mitch have welcome everyone's favourite online personality, Louis Hanson, to share the mics for what can only be described as a completely iconique catch up. For those of you who don't know Louis he is a content creator, columnist, presenter, journo, author and all round sweetheart. Louis and his famous feet (more on that inside) sashayed into the studio to do exactly what it says on the tin, and talk some shit with the gals.The boys certainly have a lot to discuss. From his empowering children's book, brave journey into the treacherous world of freelancing and (obviously) what it was like for him Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man's World. To finding inspiration for the next viral TikTok, building a personal brand and porn preferences. Wild. If there's one thing to be said about the hilariously awkward Louis Hanson it's that he's a certified treat to listen to. So without further ado, the time has come to get stuck in, have a laugh, and maybe... even learn something?For more of Louis, check out his insta at @louishanson or his other various links here.This episode was brought to you by Encore Pilates Co.Check them out at @encorepilatescoMake sure you're the first one to press play on every message we leave on your machine by following/subscribing on your favourite podcast platform and leaving us a GLOWING review.

The Catch Up Call #11

What a beautiful thing it is to catch up with old friends.So beautiful in fact, that that's exactly what we're going to do in today's ep of The Catch Up Call. *Gay gasp*. This week, our hosts embark on a bit of self reflection with some very important questions. Are they past their days of hitting the club? Or is Melbourne just running out of men? Speaking of men, Age has boys on the brain this week as he unpacks his current unlucky-in-love status, sex dreams he shouldn't be having and maybe some better luck on the horizon...In news, its Kardashians and cucumbers, more swooning over Heartstopper, Eurovision and a very superficial dive into the Australian campaign trail. (Recorded before the results are in btw.) The boys also unpack one of the saddest news stories of the past month, which of course is the demo of Kath Day-Knight's iconic house. And on a lighter note, a beautiful Australian gay couple who's union has been personally endorsed by J-Lo.The days are getting shorter and colder for those of you in the southern hemisphere right now so pour yourself a lovely glass of cab sav, tuck up in bed and let us chew your ear off, darl. We'll see you after the beep.
