Mamamia Out Loud

Monique Bowley, Jo Robin and Lizzie Marton drink beers, watch The Bachelorette and talk about their thoughts. This week, eps 5 and 6 sees clown phobias rise, men with hats fall, and more sporting analogies than you can poke a stick at. Plus, will 'Shark Island' be embedded in the nations conscience forevermore as a symbol of hopelessness?

Warning, contains spoilers. Also a tiny bit of dick talk and the odd f word.

The world is due to end today so we're getting some stuff off our chest. Mia accidentally shoplifted. And she burnt her fanny with hot tea. The very unfashionable Monique thinks Qantas should take a bow for saying no to thongs, and Bachelorette Sam Frost should stop wearing 1990's hoop earrings. And is it wrong to stockpile limited edition icecreams? For Jamila, it feels so right.

Also today, mental health week. The media portrayal of a family murder-suicide has us asking questions about family violence assumptions. And have you lost your job? The things no one tells you.

It's the podcast where TMI is barely enough.

Em Rusciano knows how to be cool. She doesn't even had a pen licence and she writes with one anyway. Badass. The comedian and columnist joins Jamila Rizvi and Monique Bowley for this week's thought bubbles, like, should the Brownlow Red Carpet talk about more than the dresses? Can Julie Bishop take her boyfriend to work? How can you have better small talk conversations? And how much is too much to spend on scented candles?

The big story right around the world this week was that photo.  The image of 3 year old Aylan Kurdi washed up on the beach highlighted the plight of hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing Syria. Today, we ask: was it ok to turn away from that image? And how has it changed us? Also we’re at the tail end of The Bachelor and Rosie Waterland has noticed something about this season that’s veryyyyyyy interesting.

It used to be cut oranges and a handshake at the end. But kids sport has been infiltrated by something far worse than over-ambitious parents: lollies.
Plus, Instagram is full of bikini babes making big bucks by posing in swimwear and gym wear. They look beautiful but are they actually doing more harm than good?
Should you keep your ex boyfriends on Facebook? And the car hack that we can't believe we never knew about.
