Mamamia Out Loud

We're jumping into your ears today to talk about the NSW Abortion Bill.  The debate has been hijacked over the past two weeks so here at Mamamia Out Loud, we wanted to share the pro-choice side, and why it's so important that if you believe in abortion being decriminalised, you rally around your local MPs.  To share use the hashtags: #ProChoiceNSW #VoteForProChoiceNSW #GetItDoneBecome a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been a big week for the Royal family. Elton John is defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for having a holiday and flying in a private jet. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is releasing statements about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And Holly has a theory about how it’s all related. Meanwhile, if the word brainstorm makes you cringe, we’ve got a solution that will help you get through it. And at 9:30 am on Wednesday morning, Cardinal George Pell’s appeal against his child sexual abuse conviction was dismissed. The Court of Appeal sitting in Victoria rejected the centerpiece of Pell’s appeal in a 2-1 decision. So what does this mean?

Do mental illnesses come in and out of "fashion"? It's an interesting idea, and one that was the subject of a fascinating article on Mamamia written by Amy Clark. She suggested that as awareness of anxiety has risen, depression has become less and less understood. You can read Amy's piece, here: https://www.mamamia.com.au/anxiety-and-depression/  Plus, Alan Jones has made some vividly aggressive comments about New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. So why, in 2019, is this still happening? And, Gwyneth Paltrow has been engaged three times. Married twice. And it seems that with every partner that she’s had, she has upgraded them just at the right time. So are relationship upgrades a thing? And have you done it?

The man you would have heard described as “disgraced US business man”, but actually a billionaire accused of sex-trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein, took his own life while awaiting trial on the weekend.  Some of the most high-profile men in the world - Epstein’s powerful friends - are implicated in his case, and as a result, his death has been met with a cloud of conspiracy theories. Are they ridiculous, or completely valid? Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s very public break up has everyone talking but it’s Miley’s “relaunch” that’s really giving us break-up FOMO. And schools across the country are being encouraged to make competitive sporting events like running and jumping voluntary because of the mental anguish and humiliation it can cause students. Is this really the case, or is it just another instance where children are being shielded from failure?

Queen of Hollywood clap-backs Chrissy Teigen is among the voices encouraging Americans not to go to a particular gym because of… Trump. But does even exercising have to be a political act now?  Genetically-blessed human Emily Ratatjowski has dared to bare her underarms, hair and all, on the upcoming cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Ratatjowski actually penned an essay for the magazine but the internet can’t stop talking about whether or not her armpit hair is real. Yes, seriously. Jessie wants to talk about a video from the New York Times where kids sat down with their parents and confronted them about having their images shared online without their consent.  Recommendations Holly: Stranger Things Season 3 - available to stream on Netflix Jessie: Organ Donation (registering for it, not going out and giving your organs to people).

In case you missed it, women in NSW are telling police to arrest them. It’s the only Australian state where abortion is still a crime, and this week politicians are debating whether the law should be overturned. Jessie has a handy explainer on how to respond to people in your life who aren’t on board with the whole pro-choice thing.  And a new study has found that almost one quarter of millennials don’t have any friends. What’s responsible for this new lonely generation? And how many friends does the average person have anyway?  Plus, Holly recently discovered a word for something she’s been feeling for months and is very, very excited.  This episode of Outloud is brought to you by ING Dreamstarter.

Catherine Middleton has made headlines recently after Kensington Palace issued a statement categorically denying that the Duchess of Cambridge had cosmetic work done; specifically ‘baby botox’. So, what is ‘baby botox’? And does everyone secretly have it? And author John Marsden has caused a bit of a stir after remarking that bullying is really just a form of feedback. The author and educator is promoting his new book The Art Of Growing Up and reckons that if kids just became a little more ‘likeable’ maybe bullying wouldn’t be such a problem. Does he have a point? Plus, Holly was stopped in her tracks this week by Brigid Schulte’s piece in The Guardian, which was all about why women need more free time. Jessie isn’t convinced.  RECCOS Mia: TV show - Working Moms on NetflixJessie: TV show - The Hunting on SBSHolly: Book - Back On Track, by Bernie Shakeshaft and James Knight You can buy tickets to see us live at mamamia.com.au/events and it's all thanks to our partners, Toyota Kluger….

Australian swimmers are in hot water over Mack Horton’s selective protests over cheating in the sport. When Chinese swimmer Sun Yang beat Horton at the World Championship recently, he refused to stand on the podium with him because he’d been accused of being a drug cheat.  But when Australian swimmer Shayna Jack was suspected of testing positive to illicit substances, Horton was silent. So are we happy to give our own athletes a free pass while judging other countries? And Meghan Markle was guest Editor on the September issue of British Vogue and predictably people have opinions. Plus a post about ‘childless millennials’ ruining Disney World for families has resurfaced and it’s peeved tone has people either laughing or vigorously nodding their heads.

Rachel was at the 10th birthday for The Project and there were a few people on the sauce.  So is a work party your time to let loose or should you treat it like any other work function?

James Weir wrote this week about the rise of lip fillers in teen girls, causing us to ask: Is it a good thing, a bad thing, and how much is social media to blame? And this week, two famous women came out publicly and declared they wouldn't be having children. And a lot of people were uncomfortable with it. Plus Jessie found herself at a dinner party where one of her male friends said he felt he would be able to ace tennis legend Serena Williams in a match...

World number one and all-round Tennis champion Ash Barty was knocked out of the Wimbledon Tennis competition this week after a three-set loss to American Alison Riske. And it made Jessie realise something ...that since Ash’s success at the French Open, Australia has kind of been hovering around Ash like a helicopter parent. So are we embarrassing her?  Plus, we always talk about red flags going into relationships and friendships and even workplaces, but what about the green flags that make people good?  And have you heard of the attention economy?

Pity Delta Goodrem - who was Born To Try - in a world where trying isn't cool. At all.  Tom Gleeson said that his Gold Logie win was a bit of a joke, and talked down everyone who 'tried' to win it. But, hold on, wasn't he was on every TV show and magazine drumming up support? Sounds like trying to us.  Plus, Taylor Swift says her 'biggest bully' now owns the rights to all her music. How the hell did that happen, and why is she now being slammed for complaining about it?  And champion-'tryer' Ivanka Trump accompanied her father Donald to the G20 summit last week. And everyone is laughing at her. But is that cruel? Or is laughing at the Trumps the only way to stay sane?

That’s the question on everyone's mind as we lead into the 61st TV Week Logie Awards this Sunday.

It's called True Crime Conversations and each episode sees her interviewing experts about crimes that captivated, horrified and perplexed people from rural Australia to the world stage. This is the first episode about the case of Belgian Backpacker Davine Arckens. When 24-year-old Belgian backpacker Davine Arckens reached out to a man on Gumtree about working on his farm she was excited.  The 88 days of labour would mean she could stay in Australia on a tourist visa for an extra year. She couldn’t wait to spend more time in a country she thought was safe and full of nice people. When Davine met the man it didn’t take long for her to realise she’d made a terrible mistake. Driven to what felt like the middle of nowhere, Davine was convinced she was hours from the nearest town.  What followed was two harrowing days where she was held against her will and an escape that made national headlines. Walkley award winning journalist Richard Guilliatt reported on the story and he joins Jessie Stephens to walk us through it. Join our Facebook group True Crime Conversations here.

We debate, discuss and dissect everything from the sex lives of millennials to whether or not you should confront someone who told you they were having a birthday dinner but then never sent you an invite.  HOW RUDE! Rihanna has come out as a #ShyGirl in a recent interview, which has us wondering whether there’s a difference between shyness and introversion.  And whether one of them is just a cover for laziness. Plus, it’s all over the news that millennials are NOT having less sex and that maybe we’ve been fooled by bad data.  So why are Gen Y fooling around less often? Holly has some passionate words for those who aren’t regularly getting busy between the sheets. And in group therapy we help out a listener who doesn’t know what to do about her close friend not inviting her to her birthday dinner.

From Taylor Swift's new music video to why we need to protect backpackers more in Australia, the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud is live... Taylor Swift's new music video for You Need To Calm Down has split people into two camps: It’s either an empowering LGBTQIA+ anthem or it’s a tone-deaf, attempt to co-opt a marginalised group’s stories. Please explain. Plus, Jessie’s been working on a new true crime podcast and the first episode is all about an horrific attack on a young Belgian backpacker. Do we need to do more to protect young travellers to Australia? (You can subscribe to her new show here). And in a column in the Weekend Australian, Nikki Gemmell asked the strangest question: Why do male gynaecologists do their jobs?

On today's show, we tackle everything from Gwyneth Paltrow's living arrangements to the Adani coal mine. And yes, the fact that Keanu Reeves is apparently good in bed. The ideal husband, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, is one who lives somewhere else. At least part of the time. In an interview with The Sunday Times over the weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow said she and her husband of less than a year, Brad Falchuk, live in separate homes in Los Angeles for 3 nights of the week. And a lot of you think it’s a good idea. But is it a rich person’s problem or a solution to keeping your relationship fresh? Plus, a year ago Eurydice Dixon was murdered. But has anything changed since then? Jessie did some research, and you might find yourself surprised. And we answer a group therapy about a baby and a dog that will give you all the feels.

On the show today...everything from Ash Barty’s epic win to how a family who lost everything are inspiring so many... Five years ago, Anthony Maslin and Marite Norris faced a devastating loss. Their three children Mo, Otis and Evie aged 12, 10 and 8 were killed in the MH17 disaster while on their way home to Perth.  They were with their grandfather Nick Norris, who also died and it was the end of the world as they knew it. We’re talking about the Maslin’s story today because on Monday, Rin and Anthony appeared on the ABC’s Australian Story to speak about the moment their lives changed forever.  Holly thought it would be harrowing viewing but it was one of the most uplifting and positive things she's ever seen and she explains why. Plus, Nike recently introduced plus-size and para-sport mannequins at its London flagship store. But the plus size mannequins are ruffling some feathers and Mia calls bullshit. And, on Saturday night Ash Barty became the first Australian woman in 46 years to win the French Open and the second First Nations woman in history.  We give a shout out to this incredible woman.

A few weeks ago a New York Times article claimed no one enjoys drinking Aperol Spritz and the internet went mad. Because apparently, it’s true. Which got us thinking..what other things do people pretend to like? Oysters? Mothers-in-law? Sex? Mia has a very long list and it involves parks, pools and a whole lot of other random things. Plus, next time someone tells you a man’s career will be ruined if an angry woman makes an allegation against them in the #metoo era, we want you to picture Holly’s Tuesday night. She went to see the comedian Aziz Ansari.At the Sydney Opera House. It was the first of two sold-out stand-up shows he was playing to the 2000 capacity Concert Hall. Yes, Holly didn’t cancel Aziz Ansari and she’s here to talk about why.

A very pervy interview between one of the most famous names in Australian entertainment, Andy Lee, and comedian Wil Anderson, is being talked about all over the country. Did Andy just provide a masterclass in how to call someone out? And Australia's national anthem is under fire because of its problematic lyrics.

The Elton John biopic Rocketman was released this week and it looks closely at the relationship between Elton John and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. But the one question it has Jessie Stephens asking is  - are you a ‘Bernie’ or an ‘Elton’ when it comes to your life? And by this she means do you want the limelight for your work or are you just happy floating in the background making good things?  Plus, in case you missed it, unmarried women are the healthiest and happiest according to London professor Paul Dolan. Apparently married men take fewer risks and “calm down” and are therefore healthier than their single counterparts, whereas married women report more mental and physical problems than single ones. So who’s happier and does it really matter?  And is it okay to pull out the Entertainment Book on a date? That’s this weeks group therapy.

On Saturday morning the body of 25-year-old Courtney Herron was found in Melbourne’s Royal Park in Parkville. There’s been a lot of coverage surrounding Courtney’s death, shockingly she’s the 20th woman to be killed in Australia this year. But people are specifically focussing on the fact that she was homeless and that she’d been seeking government assistance for some time, needing housing and treatment for her drug dependency and was suffering from mental illness. So is this a conversation about violence against women or is it one about homelessness? Or both? Plus, the UK’s second female prime minister, Theresa May handed down her resignation speech on May 24. So what does this mean for Brexit? Holly is back with her famed poo-skirt analogy, and it’s a ripper. And, Toffee is the world’s first dating app only for people who went to private schools.

Dating is hard. Particularly if someone thinks you were dating when you weren't. In his new memoir, American music producer and DJ Moby wrote that he and actress Natalie Portman briefly dated when she was 20 and he was 33.The thing is, Portman denies the claims, saying that Moby was “a much older man being creepy with me when I had just graduated from high school.” Portman also says she was 18 at the time, not 20. So can it be possible for one person to think you’re dating, and the other person to NOT think you’re dating? Plus, we received a call from an Outlouder asking a very pertinent question about pregnancy. Should you find out the gender of your baby? And if so, should you tell anyone? And, Australians can't stop taking selfies. So is it a problem when we care more about how an experience looks than how it feels?

This week, deputy leader of the Labor Party, Tanya Plibersek, announced she would not be contesting the leadership. Which is perfect for Holly because she's got some post-election thoughts she needs to get off her chest. Plus, filling in for Mia this week is Editorial Assistant Jess Wang and she’s brought an equally serious question to the table...can you pat a dog without asking it's owner for permission? And if you do ask are you then forced to make excruciating small talk with them or can you just pat their dog and walk away? And what do boobs have to do with protesting abortion laws? Following the recent Alabama abortion ban, women all over the world are sharing their stories via the #youknowme hashtag. But is there a wrong way to protest? Some people are unimpressed supermodel Emily Ratajkowski has chosen to protest with a semi-nude photo. So is she a social media genius or just self-promoting?

The election is happening TOMORROW - and 3.5 million Australians have already voted. This has never happened before and no-one really knows why. So is this a generational shift away from ‘event’ voting and towards convenience?  It’s going to completely change the way politicians campaign next time and also means it’s likely we won’t get a result on Saturday and Holly has some very strong feelings about it. Jessie went to an engagement party over the weekend and didn’t bring a gift because the invitation said not to bring a gift. But when she got there? Yep, you guessed it. Gifts. And lots of them. So is she a bad person or did she do the right thing? Plus, how many hours a day do you work? 71-year-old American author Danielle Steel says she works 22 hours a day. And, she’s written 178 books.

This week, the internet canceled a 19-year-old Youtuber called James Charles. In a matter of days, the teenage YouTuber lost 2.6 million subscribers and counting. He was unfollowed by some of the biggest names on social media, including Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes and Miley Cyrus – many of whom didn’t just follow his account, but know him personally. So what did he do and why should we care? Mia Freedman is here to explain. Plus, Belle Gibson is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The 27-year-old fraudster owes the courts over $400,000 but when quizzed about why she hasn’t paid anything back yet, her reasonings were...strange. Did she get paid $75000 by 60 Minutes? She can’t remember. Has she been on any holidays since 2015? She doesn’t know. So what’s going on and who is this Clive bloke she says she lives with? And, are girls’ weekends the new sleepovers?

In case you missed it, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had their baby and everyone is going bananas for Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor.  But they're also judging new mother, Meghan.  Should she have worn a white dress?  Did she look too good and is that unfair to new mothers? Why was she standing behind Harry instead of confidently striding towards the cameras?  But is it fair to judge a woman for how she behaves in a situation no woman could prepare for?  Or did she know what she was signing up for? And are you sick of wasting your time on the dating circuit?  Maybe you need to introduce a sealer date.  Mia, Jessie and Rach discuss their approach to dating and whether cutting someone off after two dates is foolish or a good idea. Plus, a recent New York Times article looks at why some women in relationships are stepping back from their careers so their partners can get richer.  The article says: "To maximize the family’s income but still keep the children alive, it’s logical for one parent to take an intensive job and the other to take a less demanding one.  It just so happens that in most couples, if there's a woman and a man, the woman takes the back seat.”  So do we need to stop putting our careers on hold for family or should it be our choice?
