Let’s have a bite from a big fat healthy TRUTH sandwich, we’re ALL TIRED, it’s all shit right now and Em and Michael feel like they can’t expend any more emotional bandwidth on the stuff you probably want them to talk about. So whilst they will touch on things like the Covid-19 situation unfolding around Australia, the latest Free Britney news, and even why the hell the Olympics are still going ahead, they can’t find the fun in all of that right now. They also can’t pretend to find it and smile their way through it, and they know you wouldn’t want them to do that anyway. So the focus of this episode is a distraction from all of those things, via a bunch of VERY spicy questions from Emsolation listeners. To quote Em when it comes to the questions you want answered, “there’s no lube, everyone came in dry, no courtesy fingers'' so after a sip of Tequila, or a “tip of Sequila” as Em actually says, we dive right in with a question that asks how is Em feeling after her ADHD diagnosis a few months ago. Yep we told you these questions don’t hold back on any level, for instance, you also wanted to know stuff like, does Michael actually get along with Em’s husband Scott, and even is Scott jealous of Michael’s relationship with Em. There’s also questions about why Em didn’t talk about RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under at all, even though she’s a huge fan, which brings up a comparison between the toxic hell that is Mumsnet.com and the fandom of Drag Race. Then we delve into Michael's relationship with his husband Adrian, which reveals quite a few romantic moments in their life happened at the airport, and also involved a mention of their devotion levels to Madonna, because of course it does. Then there’s the full reveal of how Michael proposed to Adrian, which involved an escalator, a protest, a street party, too many people and dancing in the rain to Kelly Clarkson songs. We get to hear Em’s best celebrity encounter to match Michael’s Madonna story from our ‘The Night of a Thousand Jennifers’ episode. The spiciest question though is for Michael when he has to answer “What is your favourite and least favourite quality of Ems?”, which he answers in detail even though it makes him feel super uncomfortable. Unsurprisingly Em doesn’t have any uncomfortable feels when it comes to answering that same question in relation to Michael. We also find out which episodes of Michael’s TV writing are his all time favourite, who is Em’s favourite Royal family member and would Michael ever write a TV show for Em. So get ready to digest a few truth bombs and roll around in the answers delivered to your spicy questions in an episode bound to give you a bunch of giggles and ALL of the right lockdown distractions.
