It's Mates Rates 2.0, and the podcast coach has advised the boys that they need a theme song (stay tuned for that). Plus, they play a round of the Three Word Game, get excited about An Evening Of Magic, get less excited about Kristo's potential handstand, and Sammy needs help solving his own personal financial crisis.

The boys are back from Edinburgh and get straight back in the studio, where they belong.

It is with a heavy heart that, after what can only be described as a life-changing month, we must bid farewell to Edinburgh, the fringe festival and all the lovely people we’ve met along the way. From our snoring roommate to all the Mates Rates fans we’ve met, you’ll all be missed. In this ep we recap our last week while we’re in the middle of our staff party, as well as calling up some very friendly Scottish pubs to try find our non-existent friends. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and we’ve got very good at doing Scottish accents. We certainly had a great time, guys!   Don't forget to enter our One Word Weird competition for your chance to win a case of Brookvale Union RTD's.

Week 3 of our Edinburgh experience and the boys are down but not out. Hostel work is taking its toll and a diet of supermarket sandwiches is probably not what’s needed to function on 4 hours of sleep. Nonetheless we persevere through inconsistent showers, magic shows, Oasis concerts and so much more.

As a podcast that is most definitely not about drinking, we thought we'd depart from our usual shenanigans for a trip to our local watering hole (different from the piss grotto btw).
