Go bloody EASY. ON. ME. bloody Adele. Em had an abundance of side quests assembling this podcast, well mostly just getting the introduction for this week's episode recorded was the problem. Adele is responsible for throwing a spanner in the works, so the intro you’re getting is the TENTH version Em recorded (the other 9 were deleted with a very exaggerated tap on the delete button, there’s to be no archiving and locking in the vault like Prince did here). It’s best if we let Em explain why Adele has thrown her into emotional turmoil, and also triggered a mini singing session as part of this intro too. Em’s soft bits will never recover from her emosh moments absorbing the new Adele song. You’ll also get a detailed explain of what’s going on in her mind and creating all these side quests, the title of this episode is a small window into some of that expertly explained chaos. Once that’s sorted we usher in Michael and do the deep dive on the big announcement of the week, the departure of the Yellow Wiggle Emma. If you know this podcast, then you know Em’s love runs deep for the Wiggles, she is all up in their business 24/7. So it’s not surprising that she got the news delivered to her 24 hours before it was officially announced, with embargoes attached. Truth be told, they sugar coated the announcement by making three announcements all at once, but saying goodbye to Emma is what has everyone clutching their pearls. Her replacement, the equally amazing Tsehay Hawkins, has achieved a HUGE amount in her 16 years, we’ll bedazzle you with her accolades inside, safe to say though that we’re excited to see what she does next. Obviously Em has done A LOT of research, so there’s the Wiggles former love lives to chat about, we also cover off what Emma is doing next and why we should stop giving her grief for leaving, we also check in to see if her former flame, the Purple Wiggle Lachy, responded to her big announcement on socials, will there be even more pearls up for the clutching? Plus Michael will reveal, for the very first time, his very bizarre connection to The Wiggles, it involves Dorothy the Dinosaur, a shopping centre and a bunch of kids in tears, while their parents get hectic and angry right up in Michael’s face, it will give you anxiety sweats for sure. After we’ve pretty much exhausted every single angle of Wiggles updates, we’ll then bow down and worship at the temple of the TV series ‘Succession’, it’s Em and Michael’s favourite show, flat out, hence they have lots of love to pour over it, but they promise not to be spoilery about it...too much. Basically it’s worth the price of admission and you should totes give it a viewing if you haven’t already, also Em and Michael have an actual physical connection to it, long story, but it totally gets revealed within. Finally there’s the easing of lockdown in Victoria and NSW to dip in on too, we are all freaked out, but also totes excited about it too. That being said, we aren’t about to dive into it like a toddler dives at anything coated in sugar, we reckon slow and steady might be the way to go. Em might just keep pretending it’s lockdown on and off for ages, so each to their own. So whether you’re in your secure bunker, deep within the earth, or roaming the streets with a strut in your step, we hope this episode finds you well, and you enjoy all of it as much as we did.
