Mamamia Out Loud

So, it’s been a very big week in royal world. Even Jessie is interested.

So why did the Duke and Duchess of Sussex choose now to give quite such an honest interview on their African tour? Why are some commentators so upset about it? And what would a post-royal life look like for Harry and Meghan? Are they the next Obamas? 

Also, last weekend, a plane full of journalists flew for 20 hours straight from Sydney to New York to see what it does to you. Jessie has questions.

At 6:30 am on October 10th, a jogger was filmed relieving herself outside Roxy Jacenko’s office. Shortly after, Jacenko posted a video that went absolutely viral. So, Mia asks whether this behavior can ever be excused and if yes, under what circumstances? 

Also, Kyle and his KIIS FM co-host Jackie O, have reportedly signed one of the biggest media deals in Australian history, earning approximately $7-8 million per year.  Holly wants to know is anyone who isn’t saving the world worth $40,000 a day?

Plus, research has shown that owning a dog can lower your risk of dying early by 24%. Jessie dives deep on why cuddling your little pup can massively enhance your mood and also help you be present in the moment.

Last week there was a man on The Bachelorette who may have been a new-low in reality TV villains. Yes, we’re talking about Jess Glasgow and the men who stood up to his misogynistic behaviour towards our heroine Angie Kent.

This week Mamamia writer and host of the You Beauty podcast Amy Clark wrote a piece titled ‘A stranger sent me an Instagram message about my weight. They were "concerned for my health".’ Amy joins Holly, Mia, and Jessie to talk through the experience, and why people seem to feel like it’s okay to body-shame someone if you say it comes from a place of “concern” for your well-being.

You can read Amy’s piece on Mamamia here https://www.mamamia.com.au/i-was-fat-shamed/ 

Also, does cuddling ruin your sex life. Some researchers say cuddles are the death of more intimate physical touch, while others say the opposite. Tell us what you think by emailing [email protected]

Is it okay to take food from the hotel buffet for breakfast, lunch AND dinner? Asking for a friend. Or actually, a listener whose husband thinks she’s a thief. 

Also. Is Cancel Culture real? Mia read a piece from The New Republic titled The Cancel Culture Con about celebrities coming back from “cancellation” which really riled her up. Because the likes of Taylor Swift, Anziz Ansari and Louis C.K might be back on our screens - or in our ears - but are they really unscathed? 

Plus, do you love being seen to use your Keep Cup even more than you love using your Keep Cup for the planet? As an avid reusable straw lover, Jessie discusses whether or not her efforts to live a more earth-friendly life are a form of virtue signalling.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Mia: Books by Sally Rooney - Conversations With Friends, Normal People - and Jia Tolentino - Trick Mirror: Reflections On Self-Delusion
Holly: Movie Someone Great on Netflix
Jessie: Mr and Mrs Jones Reusable Gifts https://www.mrandmrsjones.com.au/collections/all-reusable  

The Quicky Episodes: ”What No One Tells You About The Pill And Men”  https://bit.ly/325ajb5 and “Finally There’s A Solution For Sharing The Mental Load” https://bit.ly/35krSWp

Ellen Degeneres has been called out for sitting next to George W Bush at an NFL game. Because, surely, she doesn’t agree with him on all the things?

A Perth NightClub owner is infuriating the nation with his assertion that a  young woman in his establishment couldn’t possibly have had her drink spiked because… she wasn’t attractive enough. Since we recorded this episode Scott has publicly apologised for his awful words but it begs the question; what did he think it would take for someone to be “worth” sexual assaulting?!

Plus it’s been a week since White Ribbon Australia announced the organisation was going into liquidation. Some women around the country aren’t exactly sad about this. So what does it mean, and how should we feel about it?

What’s the social etiquette when it comes to “liking” a post on social media. Is it okay to bring up a post in real life if you don't interact with it digitally? 

And the enormous loss of Aiia Maasarwi was felt all around the nation. This week, the details of her murder were released after a judge removed the suppression order preventing their distribution. That has raised the question, what purpose do the details serve? And what responsibility do we have to know them?

Plus, is it problematic to tell a woman she has a “big personality”? One listener was described as such in a job interview and she has no idea how to feel about it. 

If any of the discussions from this episode have raised any concerns for you in particular the discussion of the case of Aiia Maasarwi please reach out to 1800 RESPECT or call Lifeline on 13 11 14

The Masked Singer is everyone’s latest television obsession. People are utterly captivated by how bananas it is. But in the Golden Age of television, with scripted dramas and documentaries, should we apologise for indulging in a bit of ‘trash’? 

And is being bad at your job the worst possible thing you can be? We’re all, to some extent, stuck in the capitalist rat race, but what if you have no ambition to be ‘the best’? In a hustle culture obsessed with ambition, can we ever just be mediocre?

Plus, crystals are on bedside tables, in drink bottles and bras, and even in jade face rollers. It would seem, however, that there’s a dark side to the crystal industry, and very few people know about it.

This week a piece of legislation was passed in ACT parliament that legalised marijuana in the territory. Should we be celebrating? Or could this be a slippery slope?

Plus, 16-year-old climate activist and all around human mood board Greta Thunberg spoke at the UN climate summit this week. She stared down some of the most powerful leaders in the world - demanding immediate action on the climate crisis. As is the way with these things Greta has now become the subject of personal attacks from everyday citizens right up to the literal President of the United States. Should we be worried about Greta? Watch the funny skit Mia talks about from the ABC here; ABC 7:30 Greta Thunberg Helpline https://bit.ly/2n2mzt8.

And, ladies and gentlemen, what is the point of having a bookshelf if it’s not professionally organised? At least that’s what we were left thinking after a Town And Country Mag.com feature on Gwyneth Paltrow revealed the actress has a professional bookshelf organiser.

Last week, Constance Hall gave a powerful TEDxTalk about her experience with bullying both online and in the real world. Mia originally discouraged Constance from speaking publicly about being bullied for fear it would ‘feed the trolls’. But she now realises she was wrong, and in fact, there’s a lot to be gained by shining a light on these experiences.  

Mark Ronson has spoken out about his sexuality, announcing his preference of ‘sapiosexuality,’ which involves being attracted to a person’s intellect above their gender and appearance. So, is this just another way of saying “it’s what’s inside that counts?”

Plus, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the latest public figure to have photos from his past emerge; this time with the PM wearing black face for a dress up party. Holly asks why we’re quick to forgive some people for their socially unacceptable behaviour, while withholding that luxury from others.
