We love a bit of alliteration hence why we’ve gone with the three T’s in our title and dropped the other item of conversation within this episode. That other item is first up for discussion though, Rhonda Burchmore has been snubbed for another Carols by Candlelight and we are not having it. Then we need to check in with the meltdown from straight men and even some women to the Victorian Government’s state election promise of free tampons & pads in public spaces. Donald Trump has announced he’s running for President AGAIN, which means the Unicorn of Death was sadly right. Finally, Ticketmaster in America has screwed up and made it impossible for Swifties to buy tickets to Taylor Swift’s upcoming tour and they are ready to go all Hunger Games on anyone and everyone responsible. There’s also a surprise treat that Michael did without having any idea we were recording him, you can thank us for that later. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s a lot right, we’re half way through November and we are NOT coping, but we do have time to do a full brain dump. We start with Em dishing on the year so far, then it’s onto the new Lindsay Lohan Netflix movie ‘Falling for Christmas’, Em has finally seen it and she’s asking for a temporary pause on the Li-naissance. She’s also offering a full rejection of the standard romantic movie trope where the woman gives up everything to make babies and muffins for a man. Then we get a full Mean Girls 2 script synopsis, followed by a ‘Party of Five’ side quest. Then we do a Tiffany Trump wedding update, which also features Lindsay Lohan, because of course it does. There’s a short Donald Trump mid-term update which could also mean the end of the Unicorn of Death, there’s a teensy “who cares” about the Victorian state election moment, a Dua Lipa live show reaction and some behind the scenes of Em being at Rob “Millsy” Mills book launch. It’s a total go to woah through to what just happened scenario and has all the stuff we live for when it comes to an Em Rusciano brain dump, huzzah! Learn more about your ad choices.

Prepare yourself for Em doing a couple of Salt-N-Pepa raps whilst trying to remember the date of our Melbourne live show, then we talk Kim Kardashian using an air fryer, yeah we’re not so convinced either. Dua Lipa is about to entertain Em and Michael at her concert and Michael is going to scream. Cher helps us launch a new segment we’re calling “Good For Her’. Rihanna is totes letting us down with her choice of celebrity cameo for her latest Savage X Fenty show. Michael’s finally seen Harry acting in ‘My Policemen’ and we try and wrestle an honest review out of him. Then finally with the midterm elections underway in the US, our very own harbinger of doom the Unicorn of Death returns, so good luck everyone. Learn more about your ad choices.

Em loves nachos, it’s a safe food for her, it’s got crunchy corn chips, gooey cheese, and nacho sauce, what’s not to love? Anyway, it’s safe to say nachos are always gonna be a satisfying scoff for Em, so if you should happen to make a promise of nachos to her, you better follow through on it. Unfortunately over the weekend the promise of nachos wasn’t delivered and things spiralled out of control. You’ll hear all the shocking deets of corn chip armageddon within, plus there’s an update on Em’s autism diagnosis and her current feels around it. Learn more about your ad choices.

At the time of recording it was Michael’s birthday and we’ve just come off celebrating Chella’s 21st, so to begin we celebrate Michael’s hatch day and recap the going ons at Chella’s Icons Only fancy dress celebration. Then we need to talk through the delivery of a brand new Taylor Swift album and recognise that TayTay has dropped a considerable amount of music since this podcast began and we’ve reflected each and every one of them. Finally with the news of so much violence being inflicted on Indigenous people, Em and Michael are keen to help non Indigenous Emsolators know how they can be an ally to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

After the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia decided to issue an edict that they’ve changed their name from the very savvy and totally cool BOM, to the rather pretentious and utterly useless The Bureau, all of us lost our collective minds. It’s quite likely one of the worst rebrands EVER and Em and Michael have much to say about it, they’re so exasperated by it their vocal pitches change throughout. Then we need to look at the collapse of the UK’s economy, why a lettuce was getting a 24 hour live stream and how an ill-advised budget ended the career of Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss after just 45 days. Expect more exasperation swiftly followed by much stifling of giggles and shocking facts as we try and work our way through as much info as we can source on the new doco about men with extra large trouser snakes called ‘My Massive C…’. Eye watering measurements, blow by blow descriptions, plus theories on what kind of voice they’d have if they could talk is probably the perfect way to follow up all the exasperation of the other two stories, so job well done.

Em’s relationship with Rob Mills goes back years, if you’ve heard their previous chats, if you’re read Em’s book ‘Try Hard - Tales from the Life of a Needy Overachiever’ you’ll know how special their friendship is. Rob has just written a book too, it’s called ‘Putting on a Show - Manhood, Mates and Mental Health’. Em hasn’t read it, you’ll hear why she hasn’t read it, plus why Em’s not going to give Rob an easy ride when it comes to questions either. It’s a thought provoking, wide ranging and hugely entertaining chat and it might just be a great help to someone in your life too, so have at it and enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.

After a smidge more drooling from Em over her time in front of Mark Bouris we start with the news that a New York restaurant made a very public display of banning James Corden from their establishment, so expect much I told you so and more from Em. Then we need to ‘okay stop’ our way through the trailer for Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming Netflix film ‘Falling For Christmas’, it’s the Li-naissance we’ve all been waiting for and we are totally here for it. Finally there’s the latest in the Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde break up drama with their former nanny supposedly spilling facts about Olivia leaving to be with Harry Styles and taking her special salad dressing with her, I know right, it’s like all of the Emsolation wheelhouses have aligned at once, enjoy.

Today Em sits down for chats with her friend and former anchor of her breakfast radio show Benjamin Wasley, he’s also the Executive Producer of this podcast. Em was worried she had nothing to talk about, but after a brief chat we worked out there’s heaps to reflect on from the last week. So we begin with Em’s trip to Sydney to meet with Spotify, record a podcast episode with financial guru and fully jacked human Mark Bouris, appear on Fran Kelly’s new ABC show ‘Frankly’. She also helped out at her parent’s open garden and attended an amazingly inclusive Melbourne Fashion Week event which culminated in her accidentally losing her skirt while doing fashion parades in an underground carpark with her daughter Chella, as you do. So there’s a heap to work through and a lot of giggles within, mostly from Ben, but we’re sure you’ll join in too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
