Psychic Horses and Sex Robots

Send us Fan MailThis week on Moose on the Loose, Jasmin and Tara officially abandon movies and fully embrace whatever chaotic rabbit holes the internet throws at them.First up, Tara takes us through the legendary Emu War, the very real moment in Australian history when the military armed themselves with machine guns and still got absolutely humiliated by a flock of giant birds. Turns out emus are basically feathered tanks with surprisingly effective battle tactics.Jasmin then introduces Lady Wonder, the psychic horse who answered questions, impressed scientists, and somehow helped police locate a missing boy. The only problem? Later magicians suggested the horse may have just been taking subtle cues from her owner. Which raises the obvious question: how did they know where the body was?In Things We Don’t Understand, the pair discuss the strange rise of AI boyfriends and girlfriends. Is this the future of romance, a helpful support for lonely people, or the beginning of a generation that expects their partners to respond like highly customised sex robots?The 'Am I the Moosehole?' segment features a woman who exposed a married man’s double life to his unsuspecting wife, prompting an emphatic unanimous verdict of “absolutely not.” Along the way, Tara is confronted with a prank she played on Jasmin nearly two decades ago, proving that no teenage betrayal is ever truly forgotten.The episode wraps up with discussions about psychic octopuses, jizz jewellery, kiss phones, cruise ship intrusive thoughts, and the horrifying possibility of vomiting directly into the eye of a minke whale.Basically, if you’ve ever wondered whether a horse can solve crimes, whether emus can defeat the military, or whether your future soulmate is just an app away, this is the episode for you.
