HANDY HISTORY | How has mental health treatment changed since the 1890s?

Maddy steps up as Crunchmaster while Sam and Connor go head-to-head in a slightly chaotic round of trivia (complete with a few technical hiccups along the way). The pair attempt to guess the highest-rated Best Picture nominees on Rotten Tomatoes, brainstorm ways to break a phone addiction, and name events happening around Melbourne this week.

There are bold calls, second guesses and at least one moment where the tech almost stole the spotlight. Just another smooth and seamless Crunch.

Presenters: Sam Kelly

Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour and Sam Kelly

THE CRUNCH | Oscars scores, phone detoxes and Melbourne events

Our first official Mission Monday brings high expectations to the Cereal Box. The team plan to step outside their comfort zone for their side quests for this week, but not before we check on Sam’s conversations with old people, Maddy’s sewed-from-scratch dress, and Connor’s cardistry tricks.
