The F.F.S. needs explaining because that acronym in our title could be used a bunch of ways (FACTS! Google its meaning and prepare to be inundated) anyway you’ll obviously work out which way we’re using it by the time you get to the end of the episode. To start though, let's use the potty mouth version of the acronym F.F.S. for the recording of our intro because some rando living near Em decided today was the day to fire up their woodchipper and start feeding it with a forest's worth of woody victims. Obviously this was a HUGE distraction for Em, she did however soldier on with absolutely no mental side quests, not true, but we did get across the latest update on our hunt for a podcast studio (preferably one nowhere near a bloody woodchipper) the news isn’t good so far, so the search continues. We do however have some VERY good news, Em will give you a teaser of something very special that we’re currently working on that is coming up soon, squeeeeal!! It’s totes exciting, after that it’s into the reason we’re here, to find out what tickled Em and her best friend Michael’s interests this week, and we start with a true goddess of the highest order, the Queen of Pop, Miss Janet Jackson. ‘Janet Jackson’ is the name of a brand new 4 part documentary now screening on Stan that covers her life and career to date. Em and Michael have all of the thoughts, feels and memories of which dance routines they’d thrust their way through in high school too. It’s safe to say that if Janet Jackson's album listens haven’t already exploded on Spotify, they DEFINITELY will after you listen to this episode. After we sample some Janet highlights and get our gush on, we’ll re-open the book on the ‘Sex and the City’ spinoff ‘And Just Like That’. The final episode of the new season arrives this week, and with news that it’s been confirmed for a second season, Em and Michael have complex feelings to share. Naturally those feelings won’t ever be stopping them from watching it, but they’re still gonna air their gripes and attempt to try and explain how important the original series was to them in comparison to the new series. Then we need to talk all of the awkward on display at Scott Morrison’s National Press Club appearance this week. Serial pest Peter Van Onselen dropped a blindside at the event revealing he had leaked texts from Gladys Berejiklian and a party colleague, where she called Scott a “horrible, horrible man” and her colleague went even further saying he was “a fraud and a psycho”. It’s a wild thing to witness the entire thing going down, so many blinks and awkward facial expressions. Em and Michael break it all down, plus Em reveals the greatest thing she found out about opposition leader Anthony Albanese. Finally, we’ve got voicemail from an Emsolator who needs advice on a husband who’s living his life like a big kid, you better believe Em has all of the advice to offer and the full reveal on what the F.F.S. in our title stands for, so settle in for a lovely chill with your podcast pals and enjoy.
