YAAAAY ‘LYMPICS!!! Yes, after being delayed for a year, thanks to a global pandemic, the socially distanced and deeply disinfected 2020 Olympics have finally begun in Tokyo, and to say it’s been a different experience from previous ‘lympics is an understatement, with a no shit Sherlock sprinkled on top. Regardless of the empty stadiums and the rather sombre opening ceremony, our fearless leader Em has done a back two and a half somersault with two and one half twists pike into ALL. OF. IT. So much so that she’s already entertaining ideas of finding a way to compete in the Brisbane Olympics in 2032, she runs through all her possible options with Michael, all whilst rocking a fabulous blue wig, a tiara and an Emsolation hoodie, because...well, why wouldn’t she? Aside from the need to insert herself into the competition, Em has also been spending Locky D taking on the heavy task of being the official thirst officer of the Olympic “talent”, and by “talent” we mean any and all perfectly formed HOT body part owners. It’s pretty much a role she was born to do and if you’ve been following her on Instagram you will have seen a LOT of engaging content. Let’s face it, if someone is going to work that hard to hone their physique for their chosen profession, isn't it our duty to applaud them for their perfectly formed biceps, triceps, calves, or gluteus maximus? Exactly, and Em sees you and your rock hard bodies and she is totally here for it. There’s also time for Michael to reveal his very optimistic story of how he once actually convinced himself that his swimming skills were at the same level of Ian Thorpe. We’re not about to ruin the reveal of how he actually worked that out, or what it almost inspired him to do about it, but we will say that Em had a REALLY hearty laugh about it, and we think you will too. We also need to talk about how Ariarne Titmus’s win inspired her coach to dry hump an Olympic railing in celebration, which hasn’t gone down well in America, safe to say Em and Michael are having none of it. Once that’s covered off we need to delve into the developing situation in Sydney and how Melbourne has finally come out of lockdown, while positive case numbers continue to increase in NSW. It’s been difficult to watch, and the lockdown protests didn’t help ease the anxiety. We work through all of it and Em even has a deep and meaningful about the vaccine, and science, and all of the anger that comes from people not being on the same page. It’s an exhausting thing to have to chat about, but once it’s done we then move swiftly onto one of our favourite topics for this podcast, with the latest developments around Bennifer/Jenjamin 2.0. They’ve gone full Insta-official during celebrations for J’Lo’s 52nd birthday with Jenny from the Block sharing some side ab realness in picture form with a final reveal of her and Ben locked in a deep kiss. There’s a lot to unpack and we honestly believe their reunion is the thing we need to help us survive the global pandemic. So prepare yourself for another deep dive into their relationship history, we even get a rather glowing and positive prediction from the Unicorn of Death. Yep, it really does go all the way there, and there’s a lot more before that too, so settle in for a complete and utterly satisfying ride for you and your ears. Learn more about your ad choices.
