The Boys Who Don’t Brunch With Girls

The 5:30am Club
There’s a growing movement of people choosing to get up earlier and earlier - they say they are “shunning sleep for a better self," and call themselves the 5:30 Club. No, it's not an after-work crowd, it's a 5:30 am thing. Plus, vaccines are here and we’re starting a new chapter in COVID history. But will we ever see a “vaccine passport” here in Australia? And… we need to talk about Gwyneth. She's claiming she started face masks. Not sheet masks, we're talking about the kind front-line workers, and now people all around the world wear every day, as part of the new normal.

What Killed The World's Most Famous Marriage
Kimye are over. Not many of us are shocked but there are plenty of us who care. They WERE pop culture, so where are we without them? Plus, In Case You Missed It, on Thursday night a former student of a private girls school started a poll on her Instagram. She asked, "If you live in Sydney: have you or has anyone close to you ever experienced sexual assault from someone who went to an all-boys school?" Within 24 hours, she received nearly 300 responses, with 73 percent of them saying yes. And, the Covid-19 vaccinations have begun rolling out around the country. Will Australians go to the same lengths as some Americans have to get it? Two women in Florida dressed up as grannies to get the jab.

Chestfeeding, Please Explain
Chestfeeding. What is it? A story started in the UK recently, talking about how doctors there are changing the way they speak to their parents. The stories suggest that the term “breast-feeding” should be changed to “chest-feeding” and that the words “Mothers’ milk” be replaced by “human milk”. Predictably, the internet got very upset, but many have missed the point completely. Holly explains why this is a story about inclusion, not exclusion. Plus, we discuss 'As A Father'.... And, have you watched Firefly Lane? It's the latest from Netflix that Mia loves to hate. It's got us thinking about female friendship and the 'hype girl' friend or the 'life coach' friend. Does every woman need their own 'Tully'? Maybe you are one.

Six Signs You're Uncool
Our Outlouders in Victoria have told us what they're doing and how they're feeling after news of a five-day lockdown last week. Health authorities say it’s still too early to tell if this snap lockdown has worked, but today there was only one new locally transmitted case of COVID-19. Plus, after we spoke about him on Friday’s show, Justin Timberlake apologised for being Teflon in the face of scandal, and we are taking full credit. It's started a conversation about what gets a woman “canceled”, compared to a man, as we look at the lives of people like Lindsay Lohan compared to Robert Downey Jr. And, the 6 signs you’re officially ‘old’, according to Gen Z.

The Two Types Of Burnout
Is Justin Timberlake Cancelled? On Wednesday we discussed Framing Britney Spears, the new New York Times documentary, and one theme that has emerged is the role Justin Timberlake played in Britney’s story. Plus, we all know about burnout. It’s something we experience at varying stages of our lives and careers, but what about the kind of burnout that comes from being dissatisfied? Groundhog burnout is the type of burnout you get from feeling incredibly unfulfilled, rather than the physical burnout of the demands from your life. And, our best and worst of the week including pillows and toilet paper. THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia thinks you should listen to more Harry Styles.
