Episode description
Myf’s back from Bali and she and Zan have a lot to bang on about.
Pool times, hanging with the PM, all of it. It’s been a big week for Britney too, with the release of her new Elton John collab, and a 22 minute audio recording detailing her conservatorship.
We debrief on the MTV VMA’s too (WTF), and the biggest mic drop of the night; Taylor Swift’s announcement of her new album. And wonder, with some help from TikTok, what it may sound like.
The verdict has been handed down on Chris Dawson, and 40 years on justice has been served. And Dolly Parton saves the day with her new line of pet products. Meanwhile our foray into Naturism new totem tennis heights, and we’re banging on about two great reads.
