Emily Josh Pod 07: This Grisly Coalition

The Big Gay Budget Kitesurfing Political Fanfic Special

Emily and Josh attempt a hot take on the Budget but get so bored that they pivot to smutty gay fiction and the podcast instantly becomes 1000 percent better. Also: the bud-shit, lolly scrambles, kittens in blenders, Emily advocates for destroying the lives of retirees (but only the rich ones); Josh calls for full-blown communism (actually a UBI); Emily gets giddy about Kim Hill; and there is an extended discussion about gay kitesurfing brothers who ply their trade in waters infested by crocodiles and deadly jellyfish. Then they invent a new smut series on the spot and come up with a way to make politics actually interesting. Plus: a guided restaurant meditation!

Flooding the Zone with Synthetic Quotes

In which Emily and Josh crash out about how the Government are hell-bent on replacing humans with lying robots, how the government's finances are nothing at all like a households', and why the Reserve Bank's job is to make sure some people don't have jobs. We also discover some brand new words like "synthetic quotes," and "jorkin' it," the latter arising somehow in the context of the movie Sheep Detective.

Taking The Piss (Out Of Politicians Who Do Weird Pee Things)

This week on Emily Josh Pod: how parenting babies is harder than parenting teenagers; parental memory loss, how parenting babies is harder than parenting teenagers, parental memory loss, how easy it is to raise teenagers vs babies, parental memory loss. Also recapping NZ political news, including the sheer number of New Zealand politicians with pee-related incidents, delays to (terrible) new Government initiatives like the new curriculum and the under-16 social media ban; more weird dudes saying unhinged stuff online, the impacts of online misogyny and racism. Also: A meditation, and Emily discovering that turkeys are real and potentially more parental memory loss, we don't actually remember long enough to type up show notes.

Emily Josh Pod 07: This Grisly Coalition

In this episode one of us finally gets enough sleep! Find out who. Also: fighting over chores, teenage BO, Lynx Africa & Impulse Vanilla Kisses, the horrible anniversary of the death of pay equity, "this grisly coalition", the attempted hatchet job on Bloody Samoan, and flag burning in bogan incinerators. And, as always, a soothing meditation.

Emily Josh Pod 06: I Would Like To Speak To The Manager

In this episode of Emily Josh Pod: the cat came back! (Just not the very next day.) Also: we lurch from one crisis to another, someone would like to speak to Emily's manager as she has had quite enough human misery (we haven't) why are adults stopping kids from raising funds for other kids in certain countries (we know why), the weird and quite malevolent forces behind the social media ban, and being distraught because the Free Speech Union is right about something. Also, as always, a calming meditation to end your week.
