INTERVIEW | Fergus Neal talks awkward boyhood in his new MICF show

Sam confesses to filling an entire fast food bucket with chips, while Ruta reveals she receives a passive aggressive message in the work group chat about leaving coffee cups around.

Plus, the Cereal Box debates whether either confession is actually that bad, or if everyone involved is being a little dramatic.

MIDWEEK CONFESSIONS | Buckets of chips and passive aggressive messages

Sam and Ruta unpack this week’s Midweek Confessions, with Sam admitting he once filled an entire fast food bucket with chips, while Ruta receives a very passive aggressive message in the work group chat about leaving coffee cups around.

The team also revisits the time David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear and asks what everyday annoyances they would love to see vanish too, from loud chewers to people standing on the wrong side of escalators.

It’s National Trading Cards for Grown Ups Day, so Sam and Ruta chat about the random things they collect, before hearing from Fergus Neal about his Melbourne International Comedy Festival show Boy.

Plus, Jess joins the Cereal Box on her birthday, Ruta makes everyone blind rank the season’s Midweek Confessions, and the team looks back on their favourite moments before saying goodbye for their last Wednesday show before the break.
