Get party ready this summer at Maya. Hello and welcome to Shameless, the pop culture podcast for smart people who love dumb stuff.

You're joined, as always, ish, by Melbourne Writers, Sarah MacDonald and Ilish Gilligan.

Hello, Zazzy, and hello, producer Annabelle Lee.

Hello!

Hello, both.

Coming up on today's show, can we talk, please, about Subway Takes.

There's no denying it if you remove all the nuance for an opinion. That opinion is much more likely to go viral on the internet.

These divisive one-liner opinions have infiltrated so many algorithms over the last couple of years.

But what are Subway Tech's doing to our brains? The first, Gill, how is your week? Good week, big day in the Gill universe today. The biggest of days. Yeah, honestly, arguably the biggest of days. I am seeing Lady Gaga tonight and tomorrow night. Woo-hoo! Get your ball out! Thank you. Yes, and put your paws up. Put your paws up. Put your paws up.

sort of. Yeah. The fear just like moving through my brain and in front of my eyes. Yeah.

It basically follows this guy who is kind of like a boss at a mall development company and he suffers a severe embarrassment in front of his entire employee set. And it follows his like, honestly, he's psychological
