Nevermind. It’s the name of a little record released by Nirvana in 1991...that would go on to become one of the highest-selling albums of all time. You will have seen the cover art before, a naked baby in a swimming pool, reaching towards a US dollar bill on a fishing line.

The kids are not alright and Mia is pufferfish-ing about it. This morning, the WA head of the Australian Medical Association described opening up the country (once 80 percent of adults are vaccinated) as "bordering on child abuse." But is that really true? Plus, we need to talk about something really important. Is Channing Tatum actually dating Zoe Kravitz? How to spot a fake celebrity relationship or 'faux-mance'.  And, our (self-appointed) self-help guru Jessie has some advice about how to make your workday more productive.  The End Bits: Recommendations: The Outlouders want you to treat yourself. With Carbs. Holly is going for custard-filled donuts, Jessie is enjoying Messina ice cream/chocolate in general, while Mia is living for this cinnamon donut toast.

Hey Outlouders. Dropping this No Filter episode into your feed in case you need it this week. It's all about resilience, something many of us are struggling with right now. If you are, sending love. --- Hugh van Cuylenberg’s job is to teach resilience. He was a primary school teacher volunteering in Northern India when he had a life-changing realisation. Despite the underprivileged community, the children were from, they were remarkably positive. But back in Australia? Well, people found it hard to be happy and they had so much. Which is how The Resilience Project came to life. He learned that there are three key traits and behaviours that are the keys to resilience. And now he teaches it to others at conferences, in his podcast, The Imperfects, and in his book called The Resilience Project. So if you’re feeling a bit shit right now - or you’ve ever felt a bit shit - this one is for you. THE END BITS: With thanks to Hugh van Cuylenburg.

Everyone is talking about the covid vaccine TV ads. These are our first look at the long-awaited campaign by the government to encourage more Australians to get vaccinated and they dropped yesterday. Two very different ads, but they've been universally panned. Why have they caused such backlash? Plus, we need to talk about Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and… not Samantha. We have a lot of feelings about the first look at the Sex And The City reboot.  And, an unpopular opinion about overthinkers.  The End Bits Recommendations: Jessie and Mia want you to watch Luxe Listings Sydney on Prime Video CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright Producer: Emma Gillespie  Executive Producer: Elissa Ratliff CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386Via our email at [email protected]  Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/Mamamia Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia https://www.mamamia.com.au/author/mamamiaoutloud/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

It's been a week, so we're talking about some of the news headlines that brought us joy over the past few days. Surprisingly, many of them involve sport.  We need to talk about the phenomenon best known as the PICK ME GIRL. Lucy and Em spoke about it recently on the Undone podcast. It's all over YouTube and Tik Tok, and like most terms that include the word ‘girl’, it’s a term of derision. Jessie explains why you do not want to be a pick-me girl. Plus, Mia and Jessie have received an overwhelming response after the release of this No Filter episode. We talk through why it touched so many listeners, and when it's important to tell other people's stories.  And, our best and worst of the week, including new and old friends and corn fritters gone wrong.

An elite private school in Sydney has sparked controversy after NSW Health arranged for Pfizer jabs for 160 Year 12 students. People are furious, but the story points to a wider conversation happening in group chats all over the country which sounds a bit like; Is there a queue? And if I CAN get my jab… even though it’s not technically my turn… SHOULD I?  Plus, It’s 2021, we’re all wringing our hands about Britney Spears and yet one of the biggest celebrities in the world is pleading with the paparazzi to leave her baby alone.

Jessie needs to rant. It's about the social media eruption of anger towards too many people out and about amidst a lockdown. While we bunker down, unable to see relatives overseas, missing out on weddings and births and all the rest, COVID has found its way, once again, into aged care homes. So, is shaming people for going on a beach walk really the hill we want to die on? Plus, an Olympian has been banned from the Games for using a non-performance enhancing drug. Is that fair enough, or an outdated judgement? And is cellulite - and giving a shit about it - a thing of the past?  The End Bits Recommendations: Holly wants you to listen to today's episode of The Quicky about Maralinga Jessie wants you to watch Middleditch and Schwartz on Netflix To learn more about our membership offering and to listen to the Daily Drop, click here CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright Producer: Emma Gillespie  Executive Producer: Elissa Ratliff CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386Via our email at [email protected]  Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/Mamamia Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia https://www.mamamia.com.au/author/mamamiaoutloud/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

Did you miss the Four Corners special on Scomo and QAnon? We watched it so you don't have to, and we're breaking down the controversial investigation to tell you if you really should be outraged. Plus, we need to talk about Lorde's Bum. It's divided us. After the singer dropped her first song in 4 years, Mia thinks it's the single's cover art that everyone is talking about, not the amazing song she wrote. Holly and Jessie think it's a bold and empowered statement. Why can't we look away, and what does it mean?  And, what is birth control counselling? A new trial could see pharmacists offer private birth control counselling to young women who turn up wanting to purchase emergency contraception. So how would it actually work?

Aussie singer/songwriter Missy Higgins appeared on Anh Do's Brush With Fame this week.

We talked about Naomi Osaka on Monday but a lot has happened since her announcement she'd be boycotting post-match press conferences. The tennis star pulled out of the French Open and revealed her mental health struggles off the back of poor treatment at the 2018 US Open.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka has made headlines around the world, after announcing her refusing to carry out post-match press conferences, for her own mental health.

Victoria is back in lockdown. It's an all too familiar scene but this time around, the people are mad. Is the latest Melbourne outbreak a timely reminder of the tenterhooks we're living on? Could it have been avoided with a more efficient vaccine rollout? Plus, in case you missed it, the Friends reunion went down last night and for many, it was the dose of nostalgia we needed.
