Mamamia Out Loud

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. And you can also read about it here: https://www.mamamia.com.au/aziz-ansari-sydney/ And a 26-year-old man named Robbie Tripp is getting a lot of heat on the internet for praising his ‘curvy wife.'  So is his new song ‘Chubby Sexy’...problematic?

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. Mia Freedman is still on holidays so stepping in with Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright is our fabulous host of The Quicky, Claire Murphy. https://omny.fm/shows/the-quicky/playlists/podcast  Subscribe to Mamamia Out Loud here: https://omny.fm/shows/mamamia-out-loud/playlists/podcast  RECOMMENDATIONS Jessie: Assisted Stretching and the Ivan Milat book Sins of The Brother Holly: Season 2 of The Letdown on ABC Claire: Wanda Sykes' Not Normal on Netflix END BITS Hosts: Claire Murphy, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

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. She’s  listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having a book on the New York Times best-seller list for the most consecutive weeks of any author. But is this a life really worth living?

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? We discuss the new Netflix movie Wine Country and why more adult women are choosing to spend time with people they love but may not necessarily like anymore...

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?

You need three things in life. A nemesis, a mentor and an arch enemy. Why, you ask? Motivation. There was an article in The Atlantic this week titled “Get Yourself a Nemesis.” You can read it here, but basically, it says a nemesis can push you to do better. And Jessie agrees. Plus are Australians lazy? Businesswoman Roxy Jacenko has given an interview this week saying pretty much that. But do you agree? And, is Joe Biden creepy or just old? All this on Out Loud today...

Hey... you there... did you know that there’s more than one way to put your bra on? Yep, and it has the Outlouders bamboozled probably more than it should. Plus, why is author Elizabeth Gilbert so good at falling in love? A year since her wife Raya died, Elizabeth has announced that she’s seeing a new fella, and while we’re extremely happy for her - we can’t help but wonder if there's such thing as being 'lucky in love'.

Amy Schumer’s brand new stand up show Growing has dropped on Netflix, and it’s got us thinking about the likeability factor when it comes to female celebrities. Is there something fundamentally unlikable about a successful woman? Plus, Jacinda Ardern’s partner Clarke Gayford posted an image on Twitter this week that praised the New Zealand Prime Minister for making the country safer for their daughter - which made Holly ask the question: are we finally done with the myth that men don't want a powerful woman?

On Thursday night, The Project’s Waleed Aly sat down with Prime Minister Scott Morrison for an intense, commercial-free interview.   The segment covered whether or not our current government has capitalised on Islamophobia, and the place One Nation has within Australian politics. Our very own Rachel Corbett was a co-host on Thursday night’s episode of The Project, and on today’s show she offers some insight into what it was like behind the scenes. In this special bonus episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Mia, Jessie and Rachel unpack the interview that stopped the nation.

On Friday afternoon, an Australian white supremacist walked into a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand and opened fire on the people who were gathered for Friday prayers. He live-streamed the attack on Facebook as he shot dead 50 people and injured many others at two mosques.  It was a shocking attack and it rocked the world. One shining light out of this whole situation has been the way Jacinda Ardern has acted in the wake of the shooting. The internet has been flooded with photos of her comforting the New Zealanders and speaking to the nation about how this behaviour won't be tolerated. There's a lot of love for the NZ Prime Minister right now and we think it's totally justified. Plus, we discuss the Fraser Anning egg situation and whether it's ever ok to egg someone, even if their views are awful.

Do you eat the same thing every day for lunch? How about breakfast? And why does it matter? A recent article in the Atlantic looked at people who eat the same thing every day and as a regular chicken sandwich eater, Jessie thinks it’s a great idea.   Holly thinks it’s boring...until she realises she’s not all that adventurous herself. So does eating the same thing every day make you a bore or a decision making genius? Plus, following Mia’s recent interview with Gemma Hartley, the Outlouders discuss the complexities around emotional labour in a relationship and how it’s leaving women exhausted. So, is it really the responsibility for women to tell men to step up and do the dishes or should they do it without being asked?  And is the situation the same in same-sex couples?

The world just watched Melbourne County Chief Judge, Peter Kidd as he sentenced pedophile George Pell to six years in prison for the sexual abuse of two young boys, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months.

Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright, and Jessie Stephens walked straight into the studio after watching the sentence handed down via live stream.   This is a special bonus episode of the show and a regular ep will be dropped this afternoon.

Happy International Women’s Day! As we were planning this show - we thought about how we could do things a little differently. Usually, radios decide that International Women’s Day is a great day to feature some women's voices. But here at Mamamia, we don't reduce that gift to 24 hours a year. We deliver it to you every single day. Taylor Swift has some regrets about her 2015 squad, but who hasn’t had a performative friendship in their 20s?

It's the internet challenge that seems to be scaring children and parents so much that Kim Kardashian had to intervene. But is Momo actually real?

Just a warning, this episode of Mamamia Out Loud will be speaking about the George Pell case which may be distressing. For 24-hour support, please call 1800 RESPECT. On Tuesday, after three months under a suppression order, the world learned that Cardinal George Pell was guilty of five counts of child sexual abuse. What has happened next is quite surprising. Former Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and John Howard came out in support of Pell.  So why are they defending a convicted paedophile?

In case you missed it, Lady Gaga got a new tattoo this week that pays homage to A Star Is Born. It’s a rose on her back with the La Vie En Rose lyrics but it seems the tattoo and her very public friendship with Bradley Cooper is part of a $20 million Oscars campaign. And Mia Freedman is calling bullshit.   Plus, wondering why people are now practicing micro-dosing with illegal drugs? Jessie Stephens speaks to Dr. Brad McKay about why more and more professionals are choosing to take small amounts of LSD at work. And remember the ISIS Brides?

Are you a woman? Apparently, it's your fault Meghan Markle is being hounded by the media. That’s according to The Times columnist Carol Midgley, but Mia Freedman strongly disagrees. So is our desire for gossip and pictures deadly, or just a bit of fun? Karl Lagerfeld, the Creative Director of Chanel, died at the age of 85 earlier this week. And while everyone is talking about his contribution to fashion, Jessie thinks there’s something else that he got right - and it's about relationships. And why do scammers find it so easy to manipulate women? The answer is really bloody sad. END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

Have you heard? We've got a new podcast here at Mamamia.  It's a daily show called The Quicky. And we want to introduce it to you... The Quicky is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get across the news every day. And it’s delivered straight to your ears in a daily podcast so you can listen whenever you want, wherever you are...at the gym, on the train, in the playground or at night while you're making dinner. In this episode of The Quicky, we unravel the story of missing Dubai Princess, Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum. In March 2018 Princess Latifa, the 33 year old daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed, attempted to escape her oppressive life after years of torture, imprisonment, and lack of basic human rights. Unfortunately Latifah’s escape didn’t go to plan and she was recaptured on a yacht off the coast of India. She hasn’t been seen publicly since. We speak with the CEO of Detained In Dubai, Radha Stirling, who helped Latifa with her escape attempt and is continuing to raise awareness about the case. As you will hear, Latifa’s life is far from a fairytale and life behind the palace walls is anything but safe.

Bradley Cooper admitted to Oprah this week that he was embarrassed that he hadn’t been nominated for Best Director by the Oscars. Which got us thinking, when it comes to things like failure, is embarrassment the feeling we are most afraid of? Last week, recently elected 29-year-old US politician Alexandria Ocarsio-Cortez posted a five-page Instagram story on her skin routine. An 'old school' female politician would NEVER have done this for fear of being seen as shallow and too 'female'. So have we turned a corner in time?

Have you heard of the relaunch? It’s what all the young people are doing on social media after they've come out of a break-up and Jessie is here to explain it to us. Yesterday, the NRL banned Ben Barba for life after CCTV footage of an altercation with his wife was viewed by its Integrity Unit. So does this mean there’s finally a shift in how violent footballers are handled, and is it really cause for celebration?

Married At First Sight is back this week, and on Thursday night it got Jessie thinking (you can read her specific thoughts here) about whether there was a right or a wrong way to have a conversation with a partner. Because it seems that in every relationship, there’s a person who wants to moan and a person who wants to offer solutions. So should a conversation have a goal? Plus, Mia feels silly because she missed one of the biggest news stories in Australia right now. So Holly and Jessie are here to explain what is going on with the Darling River and the millions of dead fish floating in it.  And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the most generous employers in America, has just announced that it is cutting paid parental leave from a year to six months, so is a year with a baby really not what a mother needs?
