This episode of Lowbrow, we say farewell to our wonderful Emily Vernem! She's on to a new venture, but before she goes, she's leaving us with a legendary Australian story.

In 2008, A Melbourne teen threw the biggest house party Australia had ever seen. It made news for attracting over 500 kids and practically destroying a neighbourhood, and a tweenage Em was enamoured by the peroxide blonde culprit.

On her last episode, Emily explains to Holly what actually went down the night of the party, and the surprising ways it's affected pop culture since.

One story, two generations, so much WTF.
