Are we all ready for a moment of gratitude? Em certainly is, she’s found her moment and she’s not afraid to wallow in it. Doing this podcast is giving her actual life and she will immerse herself up to the neck in that moment of gratitude, regardless of how twee or gross it might sound. This week has delivered us a pop culture bonanza so none of what you’re about to hear will challenge you in any way shape or form, so huzzah for that. To begin with, Em has a list of things to check off with you, we start with her latest viewing habits and the shows she’s loving right now from Metal Masters to The Great Pottery Throwdown. Then we check in on some news about Em’s daughter Odette, who recently found out that she has ADHD, which she is sharing with Odie’s permission of course. Em talks through her feels over the news, how she reacted to it and why she’s so thankful for the diagnosis. Then we welcome the return of Em’s bestie Michael, so they can reflect on the virtual meme-lympics that’s been going down between Em and her daughter Marchella around all the AMAZE pop culture events over the last week. Those moments include the VMA’s, the MET Gala and the Venice Film Festival, plus there’s also some props for Dannii Minogue’s 50 year old skin being all glowy, which ushers in a lovely recollection of two very different music video moments from the 90’s. Then it’s on to reflecting the sassy single mums Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian, who are going through a sexual renaissance and rebirth, which clearly comes from getting some good dick. Em is also here for them bringing back the “glamorous rack of lamb look” from the 90’s. Michael feels like all the red carpet looks of late are merging into one and Em isn’t feeling some of the looks or the invitees for the MET Gala this year either. She is however totes down for Rihanna’s After After Party celebrations, especially for it’s 4am start time. We also need to touch in on Nicki Minaj’s refusal to attend the MET Gala because of her cousin's friends swollen nuts, true story, apparently that revelation was enough for Nicki to refuse the MET Gala’s demands that everyone who attends the event having the Covid vaccine. This naturally allows Em to attend another pretend Brett Sutton press conference so she could ask the question we now all need answered. Then we need to talk about Kim Kardashian supposedly turning up to the MET Gala looking like a dementor from Harry Potter. Em isn’t having it, she also doesn’t think it was even her and she also isn’t buying that her and Kanye are broken up either. She also finds time to fully reject any resemblance to Kris Jenner. Finally there’s the news of Britney Spears' engagement announcement to Sam Asghari and her deleting her Instagram page. Em and Michael both have a different take on what’s going on there PLUS they also have a final episode of Michael’s new series ‘The Newsreader’ to discuss. Michael isn’t revealing much, but he does reveal he hasn’t even allowed Em to see the final episode yet. They will also squeeze in a last minute, before we wrap up, oops we nearly forgot chat about Madonna’s bum and her appearance at the MTV VMA’s. So get your best listening ears on and have at it as we tear up a full week of pop culture glitz and glam for your podcasting enjoyment. Learn more about your ad choices.
