They say the two hardest things to say in life are hello for the first time and goodbye for the last.

Hi, you’ve called Age & Mitch. And we thought we’d leave you one last Message on the Machine. 

It’s been a wild ride:

2 years

5 seasons

72 episode

Laughs, tears, shocks, triumphs and terrible embarrassments. Sex parties, disrupted bowels, heartbreak, “the ick,” psychic readings, halloween, healthy habits, fetishes, therapy, sex ed, Google histories and LOTS of gay shit.

It’s hard to look back at the last two years of laying all cards on the table and not want to celebrate. So that is exactly what the boys have decided to do. Pour yourself a glass of bubbles for this one because they certainly did.

Our hosts have spent their last hour behind the mics to take stock. Highlights, lowlights, regrets, favourite eps and some never before revealed BTS exclusives just for you gossipy little listeners to enjoy. To round out the show, Age & Mitch take a moment to thank each and every one of you gorgeous listeners that have made this show what it is today. Then thank each other and cry through to the credits.

If this is the first time you’re listening to us then honey, what a joyous many hours you have in your future. If it’s not then know this, we see you, we love you and thank you.

Good luck out there x

Bring. Back. My Girl.

That’s right, with the end in sight, and for the first time in MOTM history Age & Mitch have welcomed back a past guest for another crack at the mics. But not just any guest, oh no. The boys are extremely excited to welcome back close friend of the show and self-professed superstar of the world: Jimi the Kween.

It’s been a hot 20-months since the last time JTK dropped into the studio. So naturally there was a lot to catch up on. From career pivots (ahem, DJ Jimi) to evolving relationships with gender. As a full-time drag queen these days, Jimi had a bit to add in the sequel to her iconic “The Secret Life of Drag” (Episode 22). The boys get the scoop on Drag Race auditions and whether a national drag icon still picks up the occasional prop from Supa Bargains.

On a grittier note, Age and Jimi compare notes on turning 30, a milestone they’ve both hurtled past since last catching up. Turns out it might not be as utterly horrendously terrifying as Mitch seems to believe? The boys also discuss the very topical… um, topic of drag for children and why it is categorically NOT grooming.

All this and a barrel of laughs in what is the penultimate episode of Message on the Machine. Enjoy.

Ultimate power has once again been granted to you, the listeners.

That's right, in our final EVER instalment of Your Message, Our Machine, Age & Mitch are giving the power to the people and will be discussing whatever you care to chat about. Until further notice.

In this edition of YMOM, the boys hold nothing back and take a min to get into their feels with the people to reminisce about the great times on the show both behind and away from the mics. They also provide their *expert* opinions on the success of the upcoming and highly-anticipated Sydney World Pride, and read out some farewell messages that you gorgeous people all wrote in.

For our final Confessions on the Machine, one poor girl in particular held nothing back when she completely outed her bestie in retelling what may be the worst date that anyone has ever had. We won’t go into too much detail here but suffice it to say it was a very shitty situation…

All this and more waiting for you after the beep, so go on then. What are you waiting for?
