This week we kick things off with a lesson in Australian culture and Laura learns that the national anthem and the iconic Qantas ads are two different songs!

Then we answer your DM about comparison when it comes to running.

Finally - do your emojis make you look old!? The New York Times seems to think so, so we compare our emojis and find out if we’re using millennial emojis.
