    72 episodes. 20 contestants. 3 judges. 4000 macaroons. 1 winner. 2 very exhausted podcasters that have been driven to the brink of insanity. They did it, everybody! They did it! Do they feel fuller, smarter and completely fulfilled? Absolutely not. Not at all. Bon Appétit.

    OH.MY.GOODNESS. The final three turn into the FINAL TWO as Mish and Zach fall even further into insanity as they recap the second half of week 12 of Masterchef Australia Season 1! Do they discuss the intricacies of constructing a nine layer mousse cake? Yes. Do they discuss the complexities of assembling a three course meal that not only tastes good but also looks good enough for the cover photo of a cookbook? Sure. But they also chat about their first crushes and clubbing in your late teens.

    WE HAVE MADE IT TO FINALS WEEK! Zach and Mish can't think of anyone else they would rather share this monumental occasion with other than two of the greatest acting/musical theatre students to ever hit regional Victoria in 2009. Tom Armstrong and Joe Kosky (Godwolf/Who's Marty) join our friendly podcast hosts as they celebrate the first half of finals week of Masterchef Australia season 1. Only 2 hours to cook 2 pies?

    I think we can all agree that the best thing about being 20 years old in 2009 is getting shitfaced on goon sack in your parent's backyard whilst having an organised D&M with your friends. Zach Ruane and Mish Wittrup are so excited to have a D&M with their fabulous mate, comedian/podcaster Jess Perkins! Mostly they'll be talking about Masterchef Australia season 1, week 11 (part 2), but you best believe that they will also talk about how awesome it is that they don't get hangovers, the best way to wear your hair to attract boys and why Donnie Darko is the coolest movie ever.
