G’day and welcome back to Two Cousins One Chat and by popular demand we’re back with Part 4 of “You Don’t Know Me – Truth or Lie.”

But first… a quick catch up from our homes towns of Adelaide & Melbourne. Ben’s in the Festival State where the Adelaide Festival has been in full swing and he's been attending all sorts of comedy events and Kristy’s been road-tripping through South Australia’s stunning Limestone Coast.

Plus…an incidental meeting with a TCOC listener in Melbourne, Sharon from Gozi & Pop a brilliant Melbourne artist, proving once again the world is a pretty small place sometimes.

We also drop a little announcement… Kristy is heading back to Adelaide soon so we can finally record an episode together in real life. We might even livestream it. No promises… but it could get interesting.

Safe to say… after more than 60 episodes of this podcast we’re still learning things about each other, this episode is a whole load of fun. See if you can pick the real answers before we do.

G’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” people

Send us your everyday frustrations because the 2027 mailbag is already warming up.

G'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. IKYKWIM

It’s Episode 60 of Two Cousins One Chat and we’re wrapping up 2025 the cousin way with no notes and pretty much no edits either.

In our final episode for 2025 we chat about our own 2025 Wrapped (and why everything seems to have one), our favourite episodes, some podcast stats, guests we loved, travel highlights, Christmas plans, KK nostalgia, and an impromptu 80s pop quiz.

It’s relaxed, chilled, and a little bit messy, but as always full of laughs, it's a proper end-of-year catch-up before we break for Christmas.

🎧 Press play and wrap up the year with us.

G’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. See ya next time!

In this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy are joined by one of Melbourne’s most loved artists, the joyful, delightful and always creative Anna Blatman 🎨

From her bold florals and birds to her uplifting motto “May your life be full of colour,” Anna’s art has inspired homes, hearts, and even school classrooms across Australia. From The Block to Officeworks and even our own social feed, her work is instantly recognisable.

Anna shares how she first picked up a paintbrush over 30 years ago, what still sparks her creativity today, and why she keeps her studio a strictly “no bad vibes” zone, even when she’s mid-brushstroke! Plus, we chat about seeing her art come to life in people’s homes, how school kids in Clare helped create something special, and what’s next in her world of colour.

It’s bright, it’s inspiring, and it’ll leave you smiling and perhaps wanting to paint your own masterpiece!

In 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. Bright colours, happy vibes, and some creative inspo you won’t want to miss!

In this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy hit the research roulette wheel and swap topics for a deep dive, colds, sniffles, and all. Yes, we might have sounded a bit like congested detectives, but we powered through.

🎡 Ben’s mission? Crack open Australia’s love affair with all the Aussie Big Things, from the Big Banana to Ben's fav the Giant Rocking Horse and figure out why over a thousand of these massive icons have weaved their way into Aussie DNA.

🍺 Kristy’s challenge? Trace the history of beer. From ancient bubbling brews in faraway lands she struggles to pronounce to fancy craft beer culture and the frothy place it holds in Aussie hearts including the Aussie Shandy!

With a just a dash of research plus a few detours, this episode proves that even with blocked noses, we can still serve up peak cousin banter coughs and all!

P.S. who do you think nailed it? Let us know.
