ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
The title of this week's episode, ANVIL, will be a word you’ll wanna shout a lot during the start of this podcast, don’t worry, the fact we’ve chosen it as a name for the episode means that your yelling of that word, whilst not being heard in any way, shape or form, will result in it being repeated back to you and also acknowledged by the time we get to the wrapping up of things. In between, well once Em’s high school bestie Michael is ushered in, we get underway with thanks for Michael’s introduction from our last episode, plus some advice for those hoping to become seasoned in front of a microphone. We also get a commentary on Michael’s ability to change his look on the regular, and a full explain on why there won’t be any videos of them this week on socials, safe to say someone is rocking a swollen eye accessory that isn’t of their choosing, nor something they wanna be showing off either. Then we move on to how Sydney is coping with life in lockdown, this also allows for our first appearance of the Unicorn of Death, and a reflection on how her uncanny and ultimately depressing predictions, sometimes come home to roost. Of course Gladys is now having all her previous cocky statements brought up for a revisit, and also facing daily press conferences to discuss the latest developments as well. Thankfully, just like the daily press conferences in Victoria managed to offer up distractions, like Brett Sutton’s facial hair and hot Auslan guy, NSW press conferences have also managed to deliver the distracting goods. Like their Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerry Chant, who’s done everything from almost wipe her eye with the OUTSIDE of her protective mask, to reading updates with broken reading glasses that sat lopsided on her face. Then Em and Michael need to talk through the PM Wars that erupted over claims Scomo had bungled the delivery of the Pfizer vaccine. Then claims that ex PM, Kevin Rudd had fixed it, which Dutton was having none of, and Health Minister Greg Hunt had a giggle about, then Malcom Turnball had a go, which meant Scomo had to step into the fray again. Basically it got hectic messy, so Em has been on a deep dive and got all the receipts. She's also low key, loving how petty and “game on moles'' it has all become. Finally we’ll wrap up that ramble by offering up our second prediction from the Unicorn of Death, then it’s on to the utterly adorable and low key brilliance of Ash Barty. Em and Michael are HUGE fans and are just so stoked about her incredible journey, which culminated in her show stopping win at Wimbledon during NAIDOC Week, they’ve got LOTS of gushing and approval to drop her way. Then before we close things out, we spend some time celebrating Michael’s achievements of late, from the panic of re-writing TV scripts on the fly whilst trying to film around the restrictions of Sydney’s lockdown, to the fact he now has two TV shows, in Five Bedrooms and The Newsreader, both ready to hit our screens at the exact same time. So get amongst the audio goodness and make sure you stick around for two beautiful pieces of advice at the very end, we promise you won't be disappointed.
