Karen

Description
Okay to start things off we’ve got a new obsession...but it’s a double edged sword, so it’s basically got this beautifully decorated handle, but the blade is a bit tarnished and kinda problematic. It’s called ‘Indian Matchmaking’ and it’s the latest go to obsession for Em and Michael on Netflix. They love it, but there’s quite a few issues surrounding it as well, like how they go about arranging the marriages, which has left them feeling a bit yuck about it too. Then it's on to the rise of the term “Karen” and how that name has suddenly become the label of choice for women who engage in public meltdowns, like the lady at Bunnings we all witnessed on social media across the weekend (who also casually swung by Australia Post to unleash more of her anti mask wearing attitude to the poor staff there as well). It’s left Em and Michael asking if there is a male equivalent for guys who engage in that type of behaviour, and if not, then there probably should be. Finally it’s on to the mood capturing vibe of Taylor Swift’s new album ‘Folklore’. Having consumed all of it’s audio treats, we’re left feeling that Tay Tay has really grown up and is now fully embracing the woman she is, but we’re also totally here for her balancing that zen like vibe by just slipping in a Kanye/Kim diss track as well. So plug your headphones in, or airplay the shiz out of it on the biggest speakers in your house, and enjoy another bountiful episode of Emsolation.

So you know that idiom about not stirring up a hornet’s nest? Well this episode of Emsolation has so much content that could be reflected by that little saying...and then some.
