Mamamia Out Loud

“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? We tackle a group therapy from an Outlouder who is facing that exact dilemma. This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by Readly.

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. We discuss.  LINKS Amantha Imber’s ‘How I Work’ podcast… https://www.amanthaimber.com/podcast/ The Quicky’s episode about re-entry anxiety… https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/the-quicky/reentry-anxiety-why-we-arent-all-rushing-back/ Mamamia’s article on Lifeline and Australia’s mental health… https://www.mamamia.com.au/mental-health-australia/ Holly’s Mamamia piece on parenting in isolation… https://www.mamamia.com.au/lockdown-special-needs/ RECCOS Jessie- Alain de Botton’s You Tube episode ‘On Love’... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ6K_f7oSdg Mia- Lady Startup podcast… https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/lady-startup/ Holly- The podcast Too Peas in a Podcast… https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/too-peas-in-a-podcast/id1470294201 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 outloud@mamamia.com.au   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.

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 outloud@mamamia.com.au   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? Well, that’s exactly what went down on this special Mother’s Day episode featuring 10 year old Matilda and 14 year old Coco.
