Mamamia Out Loud

You’ve probably seen those black boxes popping up on Instagram. Jessie explains how this form of social media activism came about and why it’s hitting a sensitive nerve with so many people. Also, Trump would do ANYTHING for a good photo op. So, what was behind that picture of him at St. John’s church in Washington DC? And we’re five months out for the election. Does all this chaos signal the demise of Trump? We discuss. Plus, a listener dilemma from a mum whose 16 year old daughter is being bullied by her manager. Should she get involved?

The US is alive with protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer. In this episode, we speak to Kee Reece about what it feels like to be told you’re “not allowed to be angry” when black men and women are being killed because of the colour of their skin. We also speak to Gamilaroi activist Amanda Fotheringham about the parallels that can be drawn between the US and Australia when it comes to racially motivated violence.  And for a complete change of tone - Kate Middleton is pissed off. A story was published in posh British magazine Tatler all about The Duchess of Cambridge, and the Palace has called the article “sexist” and “woman-shaming”.

“An African American is threatening my life”. This week, a video of a woman named Amy Cooper accusing a black man named Christian Cooper of threatening her has gone viral. At the same time, two other names have been circulating on social media: George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. There is an interesting thread tying all three cases together. We discuss.  Also, do you make quiet decisions or noisy decisions? It turns out, there’s a ‘right’ answer.  Plus, Khloe Kardashian has changed her face and the internet can’t stop talking about it. But our ‘woke’ new world is forcing us to question ourselves and ask, is it ever OK to openly discuss a woman’s face?

US talk show host  Jimmy Fallon is the latest person to be slammed for a historic blackface incident which took place nearly 20 years ago. So, if you’re a public figure in 2020, should you just go ahead and confess to everything you’ve ever done wrong? Or just hold your breath until someone else finds it?  Also, the Internet has given birth to the ‘Wine Mum’. Is this identity problematic? Or actually quite feminist? We discuss. Plus, actress and comedian Celeste Barber ended up raising $51 million for the NSW Rural Fire Service during Australia’s bushfire crisis. The Supreme court ruled that the donated money could not be given directly to volunteers, victims or shared with other charities. What can we learn from this?

After teasing the audience about it for weeks, radio host Kyle Sandilands pulled a prank about having a serious health condition on the TV show 60 Minutes and people were furious. Should we expect more from a news program? And what is it about Kyle that so many Australians find appealing? Also, dubbed ‘generation boomerang’, 331,000 kids have moved back in with their parents because of COVID-19. Could this change in living arrangements be a good thing? We discuss.  Plus, what’s Trump planning to do next? Time for Mia’s US check-in.

When a raunchy female-led dating podcast named ‘Call Her Daddy’ stopped dropping its weekly episodes, fans knew something was up. It turns out, hosts Alexandra Cooper and Sofia Franklyn are having a major dispute with each other and the company that owns their podcast. Mia unpacks this pod drama. Also, we were all scared at first. The fear evolved into tiredness and we’re now experiencing self-loathing as a result of failing to do the things we set out to do during lockdown. Are you sharing Jessie’s quarantine thoughts? Plus, are you an ‘asker’ or a ‘guesser’? We discuss. This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by The Virtual Knockoff.

In an article published on Mamamia, Michaela Banks writes “As the parent of a child with a disability, Ann Marie Smith's death keeps me up at night."’. Ann Marie, 54, had cerebral palsy and required full-time care. It is alleged that she spent the final year of her life in a cane woven chair, malnourished and with no assistance when it came to her basic human needs. What can we learn from her devastating death? Also, how can an Andy bear living with a Hamish (or a Jessie)? In an interview with Jessie, Andy Lee recoiled in horror upon seeing her old parking tickets stashed on her car’s dashboard, and odd socks on her feet. So, if you’re a Hamish, and your partner is an Andy, how do you ensure you don’t drive each other mad? Plus, one of our listeners wrote in with a dilemma about seeing a workmate’s child posting inappropriate content on Tik Tok. Should she tell the child’s mum? We deliberate in a very awkward Group Therapy.  This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by The Virtual Knockoff.

A global pandemic, a crashing economy, and social isolation have created a perfect storm for conspiracy theories. Some influencers and celebrities are playing a key role in undermining the mainstream media. So, why are ‘The Media’ suddenly the bad guys? Also, if there’s anything singer Justin Bieber regrets, it’s having had confusing (and potentially hot) sex in his youth before committing to his now wife Hayley. What’s our biggest sex regret? We discuss. Plus, should we resolve to do less now that we’re allowed to do more again?  This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by The Virtual Knockoff.

This week, we learned that international travel might not “return to normal” until 2023. What will be the impact long term? And what does this mean when your family lives overseas? And details about the next season of The Crown have been released, and there’s one big moment in the whole Charles-Diana doomed love affair story that you’re NOT going to see - so what was ‘tampongate’?  Plus, what do you do when your partner wants kids but you’ve changed your mind?

Forever. That’s how long Twitter is letting its employees work from home as of today. We ask, is that necessarily a good thing? Also, “Don’t be too loud”, “don’t take up so much space”, “ don’t be too ambitious”. Could Glennon Doyle’s book Untamed be considered the new feminist manifesto? Plus, Normal People is Stan’s TV adaptation of the best-selling book by the same name. It’s a story about two people in love but who just can’t get it right. Some people love it and others don’t understand all the hype. Jessie has a theory as to why.

Before the recommencement of the 2020 NRL season, a number of safeguards were put in place. In line with Scott Morrison’s “no jab, no play” policy, all players were advised to have the flu injection to ensure the safety of all teams. Now, two players have lost their jobs for refusing the vaccine, and a subset of the league are furious. How do we feel about people’s jobs being conditional upon being vaccinated?  Also, chef and writer Alison Roman is being widely criticised for comments she made about Marie Kondo and Chrissy Teigen. We discuss. Plus, when Jessie was 14, she stumbled upon a hidden birth certificate. 11 years later, her mother revealed that the certificate belonged to a brother she'd never met. A year ago, Jessie met Andrew and she tells us how she found out, how she felt, and what her relationship is like with Andrew now.  LINKS No Filter’s episode on Jessie’s brother Andrew… https://mamamia.com.au/podcasts/no-filter/when-anne-met-andrew/ Jessie’s article on her brother Andrew… https://www.mamamia.com.au/adoption-australia/ RECCOS Jessie- After Life Season 2 on Netflix… https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80998491  And Boost Juice… https://www.boostjuice.com.au/ Mia- Lennon Stella’s album on Spotify… https://open.spotify.com/album/3nP0DOBWPfEToiDGMXZCAb Holly- Little Women on Itunes… https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/little-women/id1489251504 CREDITS Hosts: Jessie Stephens, Mia Freedman and Holly Wainwright Producer: Lem Zakharia and Luca Lavigne CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via 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/Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if Jessie grabs hold of Mia and Holly’s daughters Coco and Matilda and asks them all the questions a mother never wants to hear the answer to?

Pete Evans, of My Kitchen Rules, has recently parted ways with Channel Seven and Holly is scared silly that his views can now go unvetted. Is ‘cancel culture’ fuelling his extremist beliefs? And why is he not considered as a public health risk? Adele’s most recent photo has had 10 times more likes than any photo she’s ever posted. Some feel betrayed and others feel like she’s won. Why is this photo evoking such an intense response?   For many of us who are on a dozen zoom calls a day, we’re getting the chance to perve on other people’s backgrounds.

A video by Tomos Robertson went viral this week. In it, he recites a poem, imagining 2020 as a turning point in human history. Will our post-Covid world be a slower, gentler and more peaceful one? Or are we romanticising an awful moment? Also, you might be familiar with Poh and Reynold from the TV series MasterChef. While both chefs end up nailing their dishes, Poh is chaotic, overambitious and always rushed. Reynold, on the other hand, is like a well-oiled machine plotting everything to the minute. So, are you a Poh or a Reynold? Plus, are you bothered if someone doesn’t like you? It’s time for some Group Therapy.

Since restrictions have been eased in most states this weekend, Holly went and visited her brother-in-law, Jessie saw her family, and Mia went for a haircut. But what about the people we’re not seeing? Is this a new form of lockdown guilt we’re experiencing? Also, democratic nominee Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault by a former senate-aide named Tara Reade (not the actress by the way). So, what does this mean for the election?  Plus, women who have just given birth are finding themselves on a Skype call with Kate Middleton. How would you feel about chatting with the Duchess of Cambridge minutes after your placenta’s been pulled out? We discuss.

Women are OBSESSED with Yoga instructor Adriene Mishler and so are we. But now we’ve all semi-mastered at-home workouts, will we ever go back to the gym? What habits will stick and how difficult will some be to let go of once iso’s over? Also, women have been getting pubic hair transplants. Yes, that’s right and a scene from Stan’s Normal People showing a character’s pubic hair could be a sign of a new pube trend. So, can fashion find its way into our underpants? Let’s talk iso pubes.

Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s book ‘A Bigger Picture’ is out and seeing record sales. Mia had a chat with him this week and we’re wondering, what’s with the timing? And is he angry or relieved? Also, why are we still celebrating the weight loss of reality TV stars? Especially when they’re telling us it’s the result of stress, mental illness or a physical health issue? We discuss why reality stars appear to be getting thinner. Plus, are people in your life acting a bit... weird recently?

Am I “exercising” if I’m walking but not wearing lycra? Am I “exercising” if I go for a quick swim and then rest on my towel? Where do we draw the line when it comes to social distancing rules on “exercising”? We discuss.  Also, nostalgia for exes is real and it’s on the rise. So, is it due to loneliness? A need for redemption? Or is it because, with a global pandemic at hand, all bets are off?  Plus, Ellen DeGeneres is one of the most loved celebrities of all time but things are taking a turn.

Fact: Only 7% of the world’s population is governed by female leaders. With Corona engulfing the globe, male leader’s reactions to the crisis pale in comparison to their female counterparts. Yes, we compare and discuss.  Also, we’re at home all day grazing and napping, so why in the world are we SO tired? Jessie coined this “iso fatigue”.

Between Harry, Meghan and Karl Stefanovic, more and more celebrities are wanting to protect their privacy, but they want a say over which press can write about them. So, can they have it both ways? Also, are women’s careers facing a crisis? Some of us are now shouldering all the domestic work, mum guilt, and the mental load that comes with all these COVID-related changes, can a career survive too?  Plus, following her chat with Sexologist Tracey Cox, Mia wants to talk sex.

The US is in absolute havoc at the moment. Thousands of people have taken to the streets asking for state restrictions to be lifted, which is a stark contrast to other parts of the world. So, what’s going on? And how is President Donald Trump fueling it?  Also, blondes and Botox patients everywhere, we feel you. Along with quarantine has come grey roots, shapeless eyebrows, faded Botox, and a version of ourselves we’ve rarely seen. So, how do we feel?

Just yesterday, we learned that an end is in sight for Australia’s ongoing lockdown. What will help get us there faster is a tracking app which is meant to help the government trace contacts and therefore contain infection rates. So, how do we feel about installing a government-operated tracing app?  Also, what’s the best way to make conversation during iso? A mere “how are you?” might not cut it. And what if all we want to do is complain in response? Plus, to bra or not to bra? That is the question on many women’s minds at the moment.

Pete Evans has recently endorsed a $15,000 machine which he claims is a cure for COVID-19. So, should celebrities espousing similar (potentially dangerous) views be banned from posting about their beliefs online? Also, how did a man who was in lockdown for seven years start a family with two kids? We discuss Julian Assange’s big ol’ secret.

We’ve asked you and your answers included exercise, getting up super early and pretend-walking into your fake office.  Today, we let you Outlouders steer the conversation.

To Jessie’s scornful delight, Holly’s managed to scrape up some celeb gossip among the COVID-infested headlines. So, why did Harry and Meghan decide to call their charity Archewell? And, what do we think of Demi Moore and her ex Bruce Willis isolating together? And, since we’re all desperately waiting for a COVID vaccine to materialise, what are anti vax groups up to? Well, notes have been dropping in people’s letter boxes in Sydney with a  brand new conspiracy theory. We have many thoughts. Plus, Gen X seems to be doing alright in this mess. After all, they’re used to self-entertainment, delayed gratification, and expecting the world to end at any given moment. Is Gen X nailing isolation?

Can a diabetic stop for a doughnut while she’s out jogging? What if she needed to rest on a bench midway through? Does that behavior warrant a $1000 fine? Help! We’re confused and we need guidance. Also, Scott Morrison is now officially the most popular leader since Kevin Rudd was back in 2009. Left and right wing feuds have dissolved and the government is vigilantly looking out for the vulnerable. Could this be our new normal? Plus, as Mia put it, ‘you know things are serious when the Queen gives a speech and it’s not Christmas’.

According to Psychologist Esther Perel, times of crises makes us behave differently in our relationships. So, being locked up inside will either bring people closer together or tear them apart. Can COVID-19 act as a relationship accelerator? We discuss.  Also, do you remember how reality TV shows started off as wholesome semi-innocuous entertainment. Nowadays, it’s all about raising the stakes for shock value. We unpack the evolution of the reality TV star.  Plus, the app Zoom has recently received a security warning from the FBI due to user privacy breaches.

One show has managed to temporarily distract us from COVID-19, and of course it’s the Netflix documentary series Tiger King. So, how come we’re so obsessed? And who is the real villain? It looks like you’re either Team Joe or Team Carole.  Also, it’s not just toilet paper. Pads and tampons have been selling out like crazy.

This weekend, more than 20,000 people showed up to Sydney’s Bondi beach ignoring the social-distancing measures put forward by the government. So why does it feel like we’re being scolded by Scomo right now? Does shaming actually work? And, could it be that people are confused by the messaging?

Just yesterday, Will Farrel, Natalie Portman, Norah Jones and more big names got together to perform a cover of ‘Imagine’ by the Beatles. But do we like it?

Generational divides are becoming ever more apparent in these times! Jessie’s dad can do a plank for 10 minutes so should he worry about getting the ‘rona? We discuss. We’re also introducing a new segment called: Lockdown Dilemmas. Today’s one is:  if we go into full-blown lockdown, who would you want to get stuck with? And on the flipside, who would absolutely do your head in? Plus, podcasts, books, instagram accounts. We’re going to be talking about what’s bringing us joy during these tough times.

Look, in these uncertain COVID-19 times, Holly, Jessie, and Mia have decided to huddle (at a distance of 1.5 meters) in the studio for a last face-to-face recording until this all blows over. Yes. Everyday life is changing, so how do we deal with social distancing? What are good ways to self-soothe and distract ourselves from all of the anxiety-inducing headlines?

In the face of this now pandemic, our reactions to COVID-19 are being carefully monitored. Try to be careful and you might be accused of panicking and if you try to be chill, you might be seen as reckless. How should we be acting and what are some practical things we can do to start preparing for lockdown? Also, Prince Harry has been prank-called by Russian pranksters. Luckily, they didn’t manage to get any sensitive information, so what is the point of pranks? Plus apparently there is a healthy way to accept apologies.

What is it like to be in self-imposed isolation with a bountiful stock of toilet paper and nowhere to go? Jessie Stephens knows because she’s in quarantine at the moment after returning from her holiday in Japan. She joins in remotely to discuss.   and we unpack what happened with the COVID-infected GP, Chris Higgins. Also, Married at First Sight’s Seb told wife Lizzie that she should up her fruit and veggie intake and that she's the “unhealthiest person” he’s ever met.

“I am not a girl and I am not a boy, so I must be something else.” That’s what 14 year old Audrey said when featured on ABC’s 4 Corners last Monday. In this episode, we discuss how much does the concept of gender dictates our lives? And why do people find gender fluidity to be so confronting?  Also, Kate Middleton was recently featured in a podcast where she talked about the challenges of being a mother. Apparently, she’s human like the rest of us. Holly’s shares what she’s learned from the Duchess of Cambridge. Plus, an Outlouder recently saw a man kicking his partner in a cafe and was wondering whether she should have intervened. Would you? We discuss.

Australia has gone berserk on… toilet paper! As fears of COVID-19 escalate, it seems like panic stockpiling has become the coping mechanism for many. But are we overreacting to this global pandemic or is it valid?  Also, does a leader’s ‘indecent’ behaviour speak to a wider character flaw? Boris Johnson’s fiancé is pregnant but he won't say how many children he has in total. Like Bill Clinton and Barnaby Joyce, Boris makes personal choices that are considered to be morally questionable, so should this impact his eligibility for his job?  Plus, how useful is it to name and shame trolls online? Greta Thunberg’s recent visit to Bristol, UK sparked controversy and a local newspaper revealed the comments, names, and faces of some pretty agro trolls. We discuss.  LINKS The Quicky Podcast… https://mamamia.com.au/podcasts/the-quicky/ CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Rachel Corbett, and Holly Wainwright Producer: Lem Zakharia CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via 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/Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey it's Mia dropping into the Outloud feed to let you know about Overshare. Have you given it a listen? This is what the girls are talking about on this episode: Mutual orgasm is the HOLY GRAIL of sex but if it’s so important why is it so damn hard to achieve? Is there a secret to it? Is there no hope of it if a lot of women aren’t turned on by penetration?  Lem has some sage wisdom to help you be a better, more reciprocal lover the next time you’re getting freaky. Plus can sleeping (just sleeping, no funny stuff) in separate bedrooms be beneficial to your relationship? Kel swears by it, not just because it prevents her from kicking her husband awake when he snores like a rail train, and Flex thinks everyone should do it (if only we could afford to). And Kel has noticed a woman in her workplace dealing with professional conflict in a ‘bitchy’ way. So, is there a way to handle rejection and disappointment at work without taking it personally? And why can’t we all just get along and promote each other until we run the world damn it!

How concerned should we be about Coronavirus? Some media outlets have been accused of causing panic and anxiety but how do we keep cool heads with information coming from everywhere?  Also, last weekend, Mia’s daughter Coco went to her first underage music festival. During the event, 12 children were strip-searched including six who were allegedly found to be concealing drugs “internally". Is there ever a valid excuse for underage drug searches? Plus, what if all I want is a small, slow, simple life? And what if I’m ok with being mediocre?

Last week’s devastating murder of Hannah Clarke and her three children left us shaken but comments made by Bettina Arndt this week made us ask, should she be stripped off her Order of Australia Award? And, what impact does language have on Australia’s domestic violence problem? And recently, the Queen banned Harry and Megan from using the word ‘ROYAL’ in their branding which the couple are not happy about. We wonder, are Harry and Meghan asking for too much? Plus, ‘Liz-Lemoning’. The term inspired by Tina Fey's character in the series 30 Rock, refers to a woman whose achievements aren’t accidents, but she doesn’t want you to see how much she cares. So, why are some high achieving women pretending that their lives are in shambles? We discuss.

In her documentary Miss Americana, Taylor Swift talks openly about her struggle with an eating disorder. That inspired writer Anne Helen Petersen to write an article on how unhealthy relationships with food can hide in plain sight. We ask, is it OK to tell someone that they have an eating disorder? Also, today we answer a group therapy question posted by one of our listeners. Is it OK for teenage or tween girls to sleep in their male cousin’s room?  Plus, actress Jameela Jamil recently came out as queer on Twitter after she was announced as a judge on a TV vouging competition.

Hey Outlouders! It’s Holly dropping in your ears to tell you about our exciting dating podcast, Eligible. We all know that dating apps can be deceiving. You’re swiping left and right at someone’s picture but you actually don’t know what the person is really like. That’s why we came up with the idea of getting to know the person by hearing their voice before you see their picture.  This is the very first episode of Eligible and we’re kicking off the world’s first podcast dating show with our first single, Nick. Here's a little bit about him... Age: 26 Occupation: Primary school teacher Top three things he wants from a relationship: Intimacy, fun, holidays How he describes himself:  Genuine, deep thinking, relaxed, empathetic Best quality: Kind Worst quality: Stubborn What he hopes to get out of this experience: I hope to meet people that have a genuine interest in what they’ve heard about me and are open to a meaningful connection. If you’d like to get to know Nick better, head to www.mamamia.com.au/eligible, enter the code word you heard in the episode and you'll get access to Nick’s details and photo. This episode is brought to you by Fantastic Furniture, the perfect place to find the heart of your home. HOW DOES THE SHOW WORK? Every Friday our host, Rachel Corbett, sits down with an eligible single to have the awkward first date for you so you can get a sense of whether this person is worth your time.  She'll also do the reference checks by calling up a few of the women in the eligible single's life to find out what they're really like. At the end of each episode, if you like what you hear, we'll give you a secret code you can enter at mamamia.com.au/eligible so you can see what your new love interest looks like and how to contact them.  The rest is up to cupid!

Mikhaela Peterson recently announced that her father, author Jordan Peterson, who is known for taking issue with political correctness and condemning feminism is recovering from addiction to tranquillisers and a near-death experience. So does the fact that Peterson’s life is not in order, negate all his advice?  Also, “I’m waiting for him to propose” and “I don’t want to pressure him”  are phrases we hear women say in heterosexual relationships. So Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg has asked, why are women still struggling to take charge when it comes to marriage and dating?  Plus, the world is in shock after former Love Island UK host Caroline Flack died by suicide on February 15th. Caroline has been no stranger to the incessant bullying fuelled by tabloid culture, so who is to blame for Caroline’s death?

In a recent tweet, Bettina Arndt shared a poster from Griffith University’s dating manual which highlights a person’s right to say no to sex. In her words, she claimed that the manual encourages women to be “uncaring demanding bitches”. Despite her undisputed anti-feminist sentiment, the tweet made us ask, is Griffith University’s dating manual more partial towards women? Also, vulvas and orgasms on Gwyneth Paltrow’s third episode of the Netflix series ‘the goop lab’ has got us all wondering, is female sexuality witnessing a big cultural moment?  Plus, our Quicky producer Melanie Tait tweeted a post asking, is it silly to gift a mum a facial or massage without organising for someone to look after her kids?

Not surprisingly, the ratings for this year’s Academy Awards were at an all-time low. Joaquin Phoenix’s veganism speech felt a tad bit preachy to some and we’re asking, why is it that almost every Oscar acceptance speech has to adopt some sort of a political or ‘woke’ tone to make it memorable? Also, more than 90 women have accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault. Donna Rotunno is Harvey’s female defense lawyer and her interview with the New York Times's Meghan Toohey has got everyone (including us) talking. What lies in the mind of Weinstein’s female defender? Plus, an ad was banned from screening during the Oscars that showed the reality of what happens to a woman’s body after she has a baby. Was it really all that shocking? We discuss.

Swifties are buzzing because Taylor Swift’s documentary ‘Miss Americana’ is now out but her haters have called it a contrived attempt to self-victimise. So we’re wondering, what is the “annoying woman syndrome” and does Taylor Swift have it? Also, do you use “as previously discussed” and “I’m balancing a lot this week” when emailing someone at work? If so, you could be considered passive aggressive but do we really know what these phrases mean?  Plus, are you an alarm snoozer? Is meditation a part of your morning ritual? What about laying your work clothes out the night before? Jessie, Mia, and Holly talk: morning routines.
