This time around we’re ignoring the episode title and diving straight into the ins and outs of what’s inside the entire ep, so put a pin in that and we’ll update you soon. So we begin with the news Rihanna is taking over from Taylor Swift and stepping up to do the half-time footy concert, aka the Superbowl in February next year. Em and Michael are excited but also perplexed considering her last album dropped in 2016. We also need to factor in Beyonce announcing a world tour, then there’s the news that Italy has a rather problematic woman about to become their Prime Minister, her name is Giorgia Meloni and she is an ultraconservative right wing fascist, so naturally Em and Michael have a lot of red flags to work through. After that we need to reflect the fact that Bill Shorten apparently said earlier this week that he’d seen Em’s speech at the National Press Club and described it as powerful and then talked about how he’s asked for more advice on including ADHD in the NDIS. To wrap up, Michael has finally started watching ‘House of the Dragon’, the prequel to ‘Game of Thrones’, and both Em and Michael have a bunch of concerns about all of the everything, from the lace front wig situation, everyone getting killed, the hectic violence and the drawbacks of watching the brothel scenes while your kids are in the room, which brings us to that episode title, told we’d get back there eventually. So grab your fave listening posy and get amongst it ASAP.
