Is this real life? Apparently, it is, so we begin with a discussion on how wild all the topics are that we wanna discuss this week. We side quest into Em’s favourite corner of TikTok, the developing feud between Chinese luxury goods manufacturers and the Trump administration. Then it’s onto Katy Perry and Gayle King’s 11-minute feminist statement to “take up space” on Jeff Bezos’s wang shaped rocket. We reluctantly follow that up with Peter Dutton’s attempt to highlight the housing crisis bringing his son Harry to a press conference, with disastrous results. Finally, Em and Michael review Lady Gaga’s Coachella performance before they have to run off to try and secure their tickets to see her ‘Mayhem Ball’ tour. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, you get the rest of their full Lady Gaga Coachella review, whilst they continue to try and buy their Gaga tickets, plus they tackle an Emsolation Facebook Group post about weaponised incompetence.

(CW: Discussion of miscarriage) This week, comedian, writer, and recovering lawyer Sashi Perera joins Em in the studio to reveal how she moved from being a refugee lawyer for the UN, to becoming a standup comedian. Sashi’s hilarious social media clips helped her go viral before her debut stand up show, that show then secured her a Best Newcomer nomination at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2023. She’s also the only Australian comedian featured as ‘One to Watch’ at the UK 2021 Funny Women Awards and a two-time RAW Comedy finalist. You’ll learn the value of trying something different, how Sashi flipped her career in her 30’s, the freedom of not worrying about what others think, how she shared her IVF journey and the miscarriages that came from it, dealing with anxiety and ADHD, and the process of writing her upcoming book ‘Standstill’. Then Friday in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em & Michael talk the final episode of Season 3 of ‘The White Lotus’ and watching ‘Dying For Sex’ on Disney+.

This week comedian, TV and radio host, fashion enthusiast and actual friend of both Em and Michael, Joel Creasey joins the pod. Having seen his new standup show ‘Thanks For Being Here’ Em and Michael were determined to get Joel in to talk about his hilarious new tour and reflect on his 15 years of doing standup comedy shows. There’s reminiscing about Em and Joel’s early days of comedy gigs and their specific after show ritual, how busy Joel is and the benefits of his time working a stage musical like ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’. They even manage to cover off their mutual love of politics and ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em allows Joel to reveal his deep love of US Politics and his teensy tiny (actually huge) obsession with one particular CNN political reporter, plus all three of them work through a specific Spicy Sunday Low Key Hot Take and surprisingly Em and Joel do not agree on the specifics AT ALL!
