Are you even surprised by that word appearing in our episode titles anymore? I’ll answer that for you, nope, not one bit, in fact it makes me even more excited, I’m not even reading the rest of this because woo hoo there’s more peen related content for my brain to absorb via my ears, lets have at it, or at least that’s what we hope you’re thinking.

Em got her autism diagnosis confirmed on Friday so she needs to talk through that, she also wants to reflect on Elio’s first day of orientation at his kinder, plus she has her period, so expect a few teary moments within.

Enter the Multiverse

Emsolation ·

2022/11/23

Michael has been in a float tank full of magnesium and Em is having none of it, but she also has lots of questions. Em has gall bladder issues and she also found out Elon Musk has 10 children, created his own burnt hair perfume, carried a sink into Twitter, fired 50 percent of the company and gave Trump Twitter access again, so yep, more questions. We’re then saying “Good for Her” to Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni for clapping back at suggestions they shouldn’t model together in lingerie, by

Tampons, Trump & Taylor

2022/11/16

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

Brain Poo

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

The Nacho Saga

2022/11/07

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

My Massive C-BOM

Emsolation ·

2022/10/26

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

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
