Mamamia Out Loud

It’s been a big week for the Royal family. Elton John is defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for having a holiday and flying in a private jet. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is releasing statements about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And Holly has a theory about how it’s all related.

Meanwhile, if the word brainstorm makes you cringe, we’ve got a solution that will help you get through it.

And at 9:30 am on Wednesday morning, Cardinal George Pell’s appeal against his child sexual abuse conviction was dismissed. The Court of Appeal sitting in Victoria rejected the centerpiece of Pell’s appeal in a 2-1 decision. So what does this mean?

Do mental illnesses come in and out of "fashion"? It's an interesting idea, and one that was the subject of a fascinating article on Mamamia written by Amy Clark. She suggested that as awareness of anxiety has risen, depression has become less and less understood. You can read Amy's piece, here: https://www.mamamia.com.au/anxiety-and-depression/ 

Plus, Alan Jones has made some vividly aggressive comments about New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. So why, in 2019, is this still happening?

And, Gwyneth Paltrow has been engaged three times. Married twice. And it seems that with every partner that she’s had, she has upgraded them just at the right time. So are relationship upgrades a thing? And have you done it?

The man you would have heard described as “disgraced US business man”, but actually a billionaire accused of sex-trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein, took his own life while awaiting trial on the weekend. 

Some of the most high-profile men in the world - Epstein’s powerful friends - are implicated in his case, and as a result, his death has been met with a cloud of conspiracy theories. Are they ridiculous, or completely valid?

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s very public break up has everyone talking but it’s Miley’s “relaunch” that’s really giving us break-up FOMO.

And schools across the country are being encouraged to make competitive sporting events like running and jumping voluntary because of the mental anguish and humiliation it can cause students. Is this really the case, or is it just another instance where children are being shielded from failure?

This episode contains discussions around suicide, please reach out to Lifeline if this raises any issues for you on 13 11 14

Queen of Hollywood clap-backs Chrissy Teigen is among the voices encouraging Americans not to go to a particular gym because of… Trump. But does even exercising have to be a political act now? 

Genetically-blessed human Emily Ratatjowski has dared to bare her underarms, hair and all, on the upcoming cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Ratatjowski actually penned an essay for the magazine but the internet can’t stop talking about whether or not her armpit hair is real. Yes, seriously.

Jessie wants to talk about a video from the New York Times where kids sat down with their parents and confronted them about having their images shared online without their consent.

In case you missed it, women in NSW are telling police to arrest them. It’s the only Australian state where abortion is still a crime, and this week politicians are debating whether the law should be overturned. Jessie has a handy explainer on how to respond to people in your life who aren’t on board with the whole pro-choice thing. 

And a new study has found that almost one quarter of millennials don’t have any friends. What’s responsible for this new lonely generation? And how many friends does the average person have anyway? 

Plus, Holly recently discovered a word for something she’s been feeling for months and is very, very excited.

Catherine Middleton has made headlines recently after Kensington Palace issued a statement categorically denying that the Duchess of Cambridge had cosmetic work done; specifically ‘baby botox’. So, what is ‘baby botox’? And does everyone secretly have it?

And author John Marsden has caused a bit of a stir after remarking that bullying is really just a form of feedback. The author and educator is promoting his new book The Art Of Growing Up and reckons that if kids just became a little more ‘likeable’ maybe bullying wouldn’t be such a problem. Does he have a point?

Plus, Holly was stopped in her tracks this week by Brigid Schulte’s piece in The Guardian, which was all about why women need more free time. Jessie isn’t convinced.

Australian swimmers are in hot water over Mack Horton’s selective protests over cheating in the sport. When Chinese swimmer Sun Yang beat Horton at the World Championship recently, he refused to stand on the podium with him because he’d been accused of being a drug cheat.  But when Australian swimmer Shayna Jack was suspected of testing positive to illicit substances, Horton was silent. So are we happy to give our own athletes a free pass while judging other countries?

And Meghan Markle was guest Editor on the September issue of British Vogue and predictably people have opinions.

Plus a post about ‘childless millennials’ ruining Disney World for families has resurfaced and it’s peeved tone has people either laughing or vigorously nodding their heads.

The influencers of Byron Bay have come under global scrutiny after a Vanity Fair piece painted the lives of the town’s “Murfers” or Mum Surfers in a less than friendly light. 

Britain has a new Prime Minister and Donald Trump loves him. So Holly explains just how a posh mop-haired conservative made it to the top job.

Plus The Final Quarter documentary profiling the racism and bigotry hurled at AFL star and Australian of the Year Adam Goodes has everyone talking. So how can we use this moment to grow as a country, and figure out a way to talk about racism?
