The Final Message

12/6/2022
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 #afterthebeep Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Even Draggier with Jimi the Kween

11/29/2022
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.

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.

Today, we're getting sexy. This week, Age & Mitch are pulling back the cover on all things fetish.

11/1/2022
'Tis time for the listener to take back the power. That's right, this week it’s the latest instalment of Your Message, Our Machine. The episode where you decide whatever the hell Age & Mitch get to talk about. After the big news of last week, the question box was inundated with questions. And fair enough. What has happened? Have they had a falling out? Did Adrian’s new boyfriend cause this rift? All will be revealed in due course. Speaking of boyfriends, the people want to know how Mitch feels about the new man in Age’s life. What does a co-dependent friendship look like in a peri-boyfriend world?! All of this and so much more leading up to our fav segment, Confessions on the Machine, where one deranged listener has their confession unpacked live on air for the surprise and delight of our hosts and the world at large. And this one is a goodie. Think mistaken identity, lesbian love, a surprise vegetable and a (somewhat) happy ending.

The Catch Up Call #13

10/25/2022
Hello dear listeners. It's us, Age & Mitch in the copy this week, to let you know that while we have curated our usual fun-filled Catch Up Call for you all, it also comes with some slightly sad news. For the full scoop on what's going on with MOTM, give the ep a bloody listen 'cause we'll get that out of the way upfront. Before resuming with your regularly scheduled programming. Catching up this week, Age has been busyyyyy over the break with the start of a new decade, a new man and a new business all on the agenda. Mitch... has had a slightly less eventful break but we'll let him tell you about that himself. This catch up call is a funny one because the boys had months of headlines to trawl through to bring you the very best of what's been on their mind. Some important things were most likely forgotten, but many things weren't. Of course we would be referring to a certain fallen Monarch, the upcoming Glee docuseries, Frank Ocean's iconiqe cock ring and two foxy morons returning to the small screen. How's that for a roundup? For all this and more, dive on into the very first Catch Up Call of Season 5! We'll see you at the next one.

Are We Adults Yet?

10/18/2022
Hold onto your hats people, because MOTM is back, back BACK AGAIN! Yes, you read correctly. Your two favourite gay boys are behind the mics for Season 5, and a very important discussion about growing up. Since our hosts wrapped Season 4, resident old bag Age big adieu to his twenties, while Mitch has remained a beacon of controlled youthful chaos. This gave the boys reason to pause, and consider some of the big questions. What makes an adult? How do you become one? Have we made it yet? When will our good looks begin to fade? For all the scientific and well-researched answers to these questions (and so much more) dive back into the brand-spanking new season of Message on the Machine and you too might gain some clarity on whether you’ve already left your childhood behind, or if there’s still time to grow the bloody hell up.

Love on the Machine with Dr. Lurve

7/5/2022
Oh em gee, It's the season finale and we're talking about loooooove. Now I know what you're thinking: what do Age & Mitch know about this delicate, complex human phenomenon? And if you're thinking just about fuck all then you're spot on. Which is why they've called in reinforcements. Joining our hosts in the studio today is acclaimed love, sex and relationships coach Dr. Lurve. (Don't ask her full name because she won't tell you. Hot.) Nonetheless, this spicy lady holds nothing else back as she unpacks each of the boys' current romantic... situations. In a completely brutal and hilarious style. Beyond that they discuss falling in love, being single, monogamy, polygamy, cheating, the list goes on! As some of you have realised by now, this is a pretty gay show so of course, conversation turns to relos specifically of the same-sex persuasion. Turns out all the discourse around how it's impossible to date as a gay man is a load of shit and maybe we are, in fact, the problem? What we all thought would be a hilarious and sexy chat over the mics turned out to be, well, just that. But if you pay attention to what iconic Dr. Lurve has to say you might actually learn something. So whip out your fave vibrator (or don't, no stress) and enjoy our final ep of Season Four. Meanwhile, we are off to go fight for the love we deserve. Thank you so much for another ripper of a season. Couldn't have done it without each and every one of you crazy binches. Enjoy the time off as a chance to go back and relive some of the classics and we'll be back on the air in two shakes of a... well, you get it. This episode was brought to you by Sophie Cosmetica.

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.

Pride Month

6/14/2022
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. Slay. This episode was brought to you by Sophie Cosmetica.

Talking Shit with Louis Hanson

5/31/2022
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.

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.

Being Gay in the Bush

5/17/2022
We've documented for 56 episodes of this show what it's like growing up and living gay in a big city, but what about our dear rural brethren? Well today is your day. Age & Mitch have been asked a lot to talk about the rural gay experience but have avoided it for quite some, having very little to actually say on the matter. Now, with the help of new friend of the show, Esdale, they're ready to dive in. Hailing from the small QLD town of Yeppoon (population 6,000), our hosts take the opportunity to pick his brain on exactly how he survived growing up gay out bush. The boys cover discovering your sexuality in these settings, reactions from family and the neighbours, the importance of a good librarian and the annual crowning of the Pineapple Queen of Yeppoon. Iconic. Discussion turns to the struggles to connect with gay people and gay culture remotely and learning to love who you are. Of course, they couldn't skip the important deets like how to pick up a "straight" man at the local pub and which WWE wrestler might be the key to your sexual awakening. All this and so much more in this chock-a-block ep, so crack open a XXXX and enjoy. Remember kids, wherever you are, it does get better and you'll always have MOTM.

Beyonce vs. Gaga: Battle at the Beep

5/10/2022
Did somebody say new segment!? Time and time again the audience of this show has asked our hosts one simple question. Do you ever fight? Well Age & Mitch are here to tell you that while most of the arguing happens when the mics are off, not the case today darl, because we are launching a new segment we're calling Battle at the Beep. This smackdown royale has the boys facing off on opposing sides (gasp) to see who reigns supreme and who should have paid more attention in high school debate. To kickstart this new segment we had to stick with a classic. The battle of the divas that is Beyoncé Giselle Knowles vs. Lady Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta Gaga. Representing Beyonce in the ring is our own proud member of the Beyhive, Adrian. And fighting for Gaga today is Little Monster Mitchell. No one has ever fought as hard for anything as the gays do for their fave pop icon so this is bound to be good. The boys have broken this battle into five rounds: The Music, The Performance, The Lewks, The Fans and the Activist. Throughout the ep they'll prove the case of their chosen superstar and never, under any circumstance, admit that the other is right. Who won you're probably dying to know? Well, that's entirely up to you. Keep an eye on our socials this week where you'll have the chance to pop your two cents in and help us settle this once and for all.

The Catch Up Call #10

4/26/2022
The first Catch Up Call of the year and boy, do we have a bit to catch up on! That's right it's everyone's favourite episode of the year, where Age & Mitch take the opportunity to shoot the shit about whatever's going on in their lives and whatever's on their radar from the world at large. This week we're talking about Age's foray into elective procedure with the purchase of a brand spanking new hairline. You'd think after 5 months away there'd be a bit more to report on the love front but the best the boys can offer you is a few near misses and an interesting new business venture that Mitch has discovered on Grindr.

Gay Sex Ed

4/19/2022
WE BACK BABEY! In case you’ve forgotten (as if you would), the names in your ears are Age & Mitch and for the first time in Season Four, this is Message on the Machine. The boys have spent their hiatus training the pipes and getting up to all sorts of mischief to regale you with throughout what is sure to be their best season ever. In this ep alone you can expect a brief update on Mardi Gras 2022. Mitch's triumphant return and Age's maiden voyage at this iconic party for the gays. But enough about that. Onto the main event. Today our hosts are giving a long overdue, educational lesson about the intricacies of gay sex. Inspired by the sheer lack of coverage around this topic in our education system, they’re taking this opportunity to teach the children how people with penises have sex with people with penises. We’re talking all things douching, lube, safe sex, masturbation and what in the bloody hell is a top and a bottom!? All in the name of helping the next generation of gays introduce themselves to this exciting world with a bit less trauma than their forefathers. Because a bit of hanky panky can be fun. And it should be. Make 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.
