Send us Fan MailG’day and welcome back to Two Cousins One Chat and it’s time to crack open the 2026 Mailbag 📬🔥After a quick weather update (its so humid), Kristy shares her recent trip down to Wilsons Promontory exploring the bike trails, pushing herself up the lookouts, spotting wallabies, wedge-tailed eagles, geckos and yes snakes. Fresh air and that  Victorian coastal magic.From there, we dive straight into what’s happening locally- yes folks there’s is a lot.The Adelaide Fringe has officially kicked off, it’s the biggest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere, and brings incredible energy and such a cool vibe to the city. Meanwhile, Adelaide is now the new home of the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, which feels like a pretty major flex for South Australia. Totally in Kristy’s wheelhouse she has a bit to say.And of course, we couldn’t not talk about Melbourne’s iconic Moomba Festival.  The parade, the fireworks, the waterskiing… and the Birdman Rally, where fully grown adults strap on homemade cardboard wings and confidently launch themselves into the Yarra River for our entertainment.Then… the Mailbag opens.📬Inside the Bag is:• Ben’s “I’ll keep it short” speech’s (14 minutes later…)• Rewards card checkout slow movers• Train seat hoggers• “I find that hard to believe” peopleSend us your everyday frustrations because the 2027 mailbag  is already warming up.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, BuzzSprout, YouTube, Apple Podcast, or your favourite podcast platform what ever that is.💬 Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Music, and the Great Australian Podcast Directory.Thanks for tuning in ❤️ Ben & Kristy – Two Cousins One ChatInstagram + Facebook + Spotify & BuzzSprout & YouTube & YouTube Music & Great Australian Podcast Directory 

Send us Fan MailG'day and welcome to the very first episode of Two Cousins One Chat for 2026 🎉New year, same cousins… and the realisation that adulthood is basically held together with safety pins, touch typing, and the occasional sewn-on button.In this episode, Ben and Kristy look back at the life skills our parents, grandparents and teachers tried to drum into us and the ones we ignored at the time but now quietly rely on (like ironing, basic cooking, measuring things properly, and elite-level button sewing).We also confess to the skills that never stuck, like tying knots, folding fitted sheets, giving directions, patience, navigation (even with a phone), and all the things we confidently said “yeah yeah, I’ve got it”… when we absolutely did not.There’s nostalgia, laughs, Home Economics disasters, Swiss finishing school flashbacks, Australian Open vibes, and the comforting reminder that none of us really know what we’re doing…probably just like you we are just winging it slightly better than before.

Send us Fan MailG’day everyone! In this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy are as Aussie as a sausage sizzle out the front of Bunnings on a Sunday!  Fresh off a very recent cousin catch-up in Melbourne with laneway adventures, Tims-toasties, and a bit of classic Gogg & McGoch in the Royal Arcade, they’re bang on headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of Aussie sayings.🇦🇺 From “G’day mate” to “flat out like a lizard drinking,” this one’s basically a love letter to all things Aussie. 🍤 And of course… the big one: Throw Another Shrimp on the Barbie (even though we don’t say shrimp, we don’t put prawns on the barbie, and let’s be honest — it’s usually just snags or bangers).Then they take things global with their top international sayings, attempting them in the native language (please brace yourself) before translating and rating their faves. Its a bit of a dogs breakfast but with plenty of laughs, a few linguistic disasters, its fair-dinks enough Aussie slang to last you ’til next Christmas, this episode is a bloody ripper. You’ll finish it by saying “fair dinkum,” whether you’re Aussie or not. Honest  that’s no bull!And if you’ve got a cracking saying from your country (or your family!), jump onto the Two Cousins One Chat Facebook page, the cousins want to hear it.Good onya mate.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy take another trip down memory lane and straight into the category of “I would never do that now” .It’s all about the things we did as kids (or in our wild wild 20s) that we would just hands down never ever do now.🚲 Kristy confesses to late-night bike rides with a dodgy dynamo light she absolutely hated, underage nightclub appearances, and even lighting her mum’s cigarettes as a kid (yep, different times folks!).🍻 Ben admits he wasn’t exactly adventurous, but he did his fair share of questionable choices, from cheap booze binges and country road trips in the back of a ute (sans seat belts), to swiping ciggies from his teacher’s handbag. This is a true story!Between recent holidays, Adelaide’s City to Bay run, and the new 36ers’ NBL season, the cousins warm up before diving into this nostalgic list of “absolutely never again’zzzzz.” Of course with loads of laughs and a massive dose of “we sound so bloody ancient,” this one will have you cringing, nodding, and remembering your own “I would never do that now’s” P.S. We’ve got a special guest coming up next episode, the amazing artist Anna Blatman.
