Mamamia Out Loud

Hands up if you wish life came with a "no chat" button? Is that all hands up we see? Yeah, thought so. This week Leigh and Rach are calling for rideshare apps to come with an option to request "no small talk." Plus, we need to talk about the barney going on between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker because, as Mia says, people can have disagreements but it doesn’t mean women can’t work together. And if you're single, you're most definitely happier and healthier than everyone else. So happy Valentine’s Day to you.

Outlouders, it’s been the biggest kept secret in the New England electorate, and now we know that Barnaby Joyce is expecting a child with his former-staffer. But what about the family that’s been left behind? Plus, skincare is making a comeback and Mia would argue it’s because it is something you can control in this crazy world. Yes.

Outlouders, did you know that when it comes to modern dating you aren’t supposed to give someone your surname until things get serious? Yeah, we didn’t know that either…#uncool. Also, if you’ve been sitting at home wondering why your boss only gives you white wine for Christmas but gives your male colleague red, we’ve got the answer. And, on a more serious note, there’s a mental health crisis happening in rural Australia that no one is talking about. So what can we do?

Got lady bits? Feel a bit self-conscious about them? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. According to a new study, 50% of women feel weird about the way their vajayjay looks and they won't even show it to a doctor. Plus, do you ever feel angry at work?  You might be suffering from work rage so Jessie has come up with some tips to help you cope. And Mia is sick of not seeing her age group represented on runways and in magazines, which makes us all wonder - what’s with all the famous 16-year-olds? Oh, and it’s Australia Day, and we don’t really know what to say anymore...

One week without Holly and we’ve all turned into bendable reeds....let's see how long that lasts. This week, Rachel Corbett steps into the driver's seat and things get a little loose. Mia decides she might change her name to something more suited to her career, Jessie explains why Jacinda Ardern being pregnant and the Prime Minister is a very big deal and Rach is called a man.  Oh, and we go DEEP on Germaine Greer’s comments to see if the frustrations of members of the #metoo movement are justified.

Outlouders - is it just us or is everyone feeling a bit woo-woo by this time of year? If you are nodding - then we have some good news for you. The non zero day could change your life. Or make you really annoyed. Plus, you may have noticed ... It's tennis time. And, like every year, we seem to be having the same conversation about the behaviours of the same players at the Australian Open. But do we need to dig a little deeper when it comes to Bernard Tomic? And can someone please explain Ashy Bines?

Outlouders, we need to talk about American actor Aziz Ansari. The creator and star of the Netflix show 'Master of None' was accused of sexual assault by feminist website, Babe. Since the article was published it's had a lot of people asking...is this the worst thing that's happened to the #metoo movement? What do you think? Call us on 02 8999 9386 and tell us. Plus, the boss of the Australian Medical Association says that mean mums are driving other new mothers into postnatal depression with their critical comments. And micro cheating is the word for 2018. But what exactly does it mean?

Here at Mamamia Out Loud we wondered how we should talk about the devastating suicide of 14-year-old Dolly Everett. Would we be invading the families privacy? What could we add to the conversation?  How could we make a difference? But we realised when tragedies happen you need to talk about them.  To process them, to shed light on them and to try to prevent them from happening again.  To do this we rang friend of the show Rebecca Sparrow, a woman who talks to teenage girls for a living to learn more about what we can do.  If you are going through a difficult time and feel like you need help or just someone to talk to, please ring Lifeline on 13 11 14. Since we're a show of light and shade, we also discuss if women quitting there jobs is the right way to close the gender pay gap and why Kanye West is forcing Kim Kardashian to wear teeny tiny sunglasses. Like we said, we're a show of light and shade.Show NotesDonate to Dolly's Dream here.

We're baaacckkk. Happy 2018 Outlouders. What a year we are going to have. First things first though...we need to discuss the Golden Globes. Specifically the fact that Oprah may be running for President in 2020. Mia thinks it’s a great idea, Holly not so much. Plus, Jessie spent a lot of time at the beach over the summer break and she’s feeling a bit bad about her body, so we’re here to fix it. And can’t stop picking up your phone? It could be fixed with a coffee colonic. Jokes. Maybe. We might need to ask Gwyneth about that.

We began the year watching a man who has been accused of sexual assault by no fewer than 13 women being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. We’ve ended in the middle of an earth-shifting #metoo movement, which has seen powerful men stripped of their untouchable status along with their honours and sometimes, their livelihoods. Rachel and Holly are joined by the face of our local #metoo movement, journalist, activist and feminist Tracey Spicer to talk about how 2017 became the year the world woke up to sexual harrasment.

2017 was the year Australia finally decided it was time to make it legal for same sex couples to marry and to say it’s been a long journey is an understatement. Placed in the “too hard” basket by both Labour and the Coalition for too long, we began it might not ever happen. What followed was possibly even more controversial - a non-binding postal vote. But, we got there in the end and just this month the first same sex couple got married. The former Prime Minister Tony Abbott was the leading face of the NO campaign but his sister, Sydney City Councillor Christine Forster, became a powerful voice for change and she joins us to look back on the year that was.

2017 was the year where everyone decided it was time to give less f*cks. There were no f*cks podcasts, no f*cks Ted Talks, Mark Manson’s bestselling book The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck, Sarah Knight’s The Life Changing Magic Of Not Giving A F*ck and more.  There really have been a lot less f*ck’s to give this year.

Merry Christmas, Outlouders. But please, don't even think about charging people to eat your festive lunch. That's the vibe from a Group Therapy question you really need to hear. Also, if you're wondering whether to break up or stay together these holidays - the answer could lie in a loaf of bread. And does Matt Damon need to just stop talking? Or is it impossible to say the right thing at this moment of Reckoning. And lastly, there's a very smart reason why one of the world's most powerful women wears the same dress every damn day.

According to one of our listeners - we say WOKE too much. But not in a good way. Does this make us un-woke? Plus, is it ever too soon to spend your first Christmas together as a couple? And at the start of this week a video went viral about an 11-year-old boy who was being very badly bullied. Now, at the end of the week we know that the little boy’s parents are white supremacists -  so should we feel sorry for Keaton Jones?

Want a good career? Get botox. Apparently. Social scientists from the University of Tasmania say Botox can offer women "a future free from worrying about being traded in for a younger model by their partners or the workplace". But is this really the case? Plus, why is everyone obsessed with an article called Cat Person? And can Victoria’s Secret models be woke? Also, Mia's obsessed with cricket.

Outlouders, last night Jessie stepped into enemy territory. She and twin sister Claire went to the Milo Yiannopoulos "show", and they lived to tell the story... and play the audio. Also, it’s the question everyone needs to ask. When it comes to relationships - are you a flower or a gardener? We don't want to alarm you, but if you have arms that are attached to your body - chances are you have an armpit vagina. And you should be ashamed of yourself. Also, are there some things you just can’t joke about? On comedian Tom Ballard’s new show Tonightley on the ABC - a sketch video was played about how to grow a sexual harasser - and it has a lot of people up in arms...

Outlouders, we have bad news. Glitter is great for our spirits, terrible for the environment. What will Mia wear if the sparkly stuff is banned? Also, this Friday we're all about the helping. How do you help a loved one when they're stuck in a hospital ward and going through hell? How do you survive festive small-talk with people you don't know very well?

Everyone loves a royal wedding, right? Wrong. Some people find even that joyous celebration of true love more than a little problematic. We wonder who that could be? Plus, the most controversial man in the world has landed in Australia. The poster-boy for the alt-right, a man who says that feminism is a cancer and calls Donald Trump "Daddy", Milo Yiannopoulos, is in the country start some fires. Should he even be here?

Ever since one of Hollywood's most powerful men, Harvey Weinstein, was exposed as a sexual predator who had been preying on women in his industry for four decades, the list of men behaving disgustingly has been growing at an incredible rate. Yesterday, thanks to the tireless work of some stellar Australian journalists - primary amongst them Kate McCLymont and Tracey Spicer - a big Australian name was added to that list. Don Burke. The now 70 -year-old was once the biggest name in Australian television. His show, Burke's Backyard spun off into specials, a magazine and a million lucrative events and appearances. He could do no wrong. But the rumours about his behaviour towards women never changed, he was, as legendary TV executive Sam Chisholm told the Fairfax press yesterday, 'a disgrace' and a 'terrible grub'.

If you're wearing jeans, you're not a feminist. Sorry. According to Aussie actress Caitlin Stasey, jeans don't leave enough room for your Lady Bits and that's extremely problematic.

Frances Abbott, daughter of ex-PM Tony Abbott, confirmed her engagement to Australian Olympic rower Sam Loch but the pair have only been dating two weeks. So, how quick is too quick for a proposal? And do you paint your fingernails the same as your toenails? It’s the dilemma that Holly has some (surprisingly) hard and fast rules about. Plus, why does everyone hate Lena Dunham? The Girls creator defended her friend Murray Miller when he was accused of sexual assault this week. So did she cast doubt over the legitimacy of women’s stories everywhere, or did she do the right thing?

Australia has voted YES. Most of Out Loud was at the marriage equality announcement today, and are sprinkled with glitter and smiling their heads off. But what happens next? Plus, is it time we culled the office Christmas party? Is it too problematic in these sensitive times? And, last week, comedian, Louis CK “apologised” for masturbating in front of five.

Harvey Weinstein is one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. His movies have been nominated for more than 300 Academy Awards.
