For her intro, with stage 4 lockdown conditions kicking in for Melbourne, Em reckons it’s time to acknowledge we’ve moved beyond ‘stay positive’ and into ‘it’s really hard right now’ territory. So we don’t have to feel like we have to solve it all now, it’s all about taking baby steps. You’ll also get Em and Michael’s reactions to all the different stages of the new lockdown rules, from Em not caring about curfew because she’s in bed by 8pm most nights anyway, Chella, not so much, to Michael having to manage his jealousy and looking away from the social shares of other states. Then, naturally, it’s on to a LOT of Beyonce chat, inspired by the release of her new visual album ‘Black is King - A Film by Beyonce’ on Friday. There’s so much to be worked through, the vibe, the overall feeling, the moments that made them both cry, how great it is, and how Beyonce just knew she should drop this gift to the world during our greatest moment of need. Em and Michael actually watched it simultaneously together on Friday night via SMS, with running commentary and reactions going back and forward between them both. The main takeout was basically just the sheer amount of costumes, which was actually MIND. BLOWING. So grab your headphones, or turn up your smart speaker, and get a stack of Beyonce loving excitement into your ears, with a delicate sprinkling of meh to the latest lockdown rejig for Victorians.
