It’s Em’s birthday week so we open with 4 things Em’s learnt at 44, so maybe get a pen and some paper, or open your notes app before you get started. Then we need to reflect on all things World Pride and Mardi Gras with Michael joining us for this pod from Sydney, which means he’s been inhaling all of the gay, all at once. Speaking of campery, Em and Michael took in the Harry Styles concert in Melbourne. They have huge props for the Stylers audience and not so much respect for the boomers at the Elton John concert. Also, inspired by the news that two women were invited backstage after the Harry Styles show, Em spent minutes crafting some Harry related fan fiction of what happened next. Naturally Em and Michael are totes going to bring it to life, with Em playing narrator and one of the lucky backstage ladies called Louisa, and Michael playing the security guard and Harry “I work in a bakery” Styles. It’s not saucy AT ALL, but it is everything you didn’t know you needed. Finally we need to talk about Elio finding his “artwork” in the fire and why it struck a chord with so many parents, which also inspires Michael to reveal just how brutal his mum could be when it came to feedback of his creative efforts as a child.
