Hey cuties! Welcome back for another episode of ‘Ratbag!’. This week we are joined by comedian, writer, performer, DJ and all round icon - Alex Hines. Whether you know her as her absurd and deeply lovable character Slug Girl, or have seen in her hit show ‘Girl Culture’ or perhaps opening for Hannah Gadsby, you are gonna love this episode, we just know it! In today’s episode we chat everything from Alex’s Beanie Baby collecting era, her search for the lost drink ‘Diet Coke’, having a flat arse and much much more. We of course open up our hotline for all your burning questions and then end with an improvised song about her Grimace flask.It’s a real fun one. We hope you enjoy!See you on Thursday for another ‘Ratfood!’Love ya!Mel and SamFollow Alex Hines here: https://www.instagram.com/alex.hines___?igsi=NzRtZ2VoZ3pmajZuWebsite here: https://alex-hines.com/about—Follow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.
