The first 20 seconds of a new season of a universally loved kids TV series has triggered a lot of parents, but before we talk about any of that, we need to talk the hectic going ons at community pools. Inspired by Michael’s t-shirt, we go on a trip down memory lane to Em’s previous life as a teenage swim instructor, the whack things that happened in and around the pool and the shame of wearing clothing from the lost and found. Once we’ve navigated all of those memories, we need to discuss why the newest episode of ‘Bluey’ has divided the internet. We also check in on the diet culture norms of the 80’s parents who raised Em and Michael and the truly shocking experiences they had in their own childhoods. Then there’s the night Em and Michael partied with the cast of ‘Glee’ in Sydney to relive. Em remembers nothing, so Michael does all the heavy lifting recollecting everything that went down and it comes with a built in challenge for you too. Finally Em is untethered when it comes to TV show options and her list of must haves is extensive. Luckily Michael has the perfect list of choices, including one series his husband actually worked on. Weirdly, neither of them planned or set this up, but it might just be the most perfectly placed recommendation they’ve ever accidentally stumbled on. What are the chances?
