Mamamia Out Loud

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift never fight. Nor do George and Amal Clooney. Not about work, money, cleaning, travel or whose turn it is to feed the dog (sorry, cats.) An aspirational relationship goal? Or a flashing red flag?

Also, this week the whole world is looking at Australia as our world-first social media delay kicks in on Wednesday, December 10. So, what are we to make of the poll that says only a third of Aussie parents are actually going to enforce the ban that experts are calling "a mothers' revolution"? 

Plus, Oprah Winfrey is in Australia and drawing huge crowds with her trademark a-ha moments. So why is Oprah still so interesting to Aussie women in 2025? 

And, there's a very relevant Word of The Year, and a very intimidating Colour Of The Year, and Amelia, Jessie and Holly have a theory that they're linked.

Can you change a child's birthday because it's a bit... inconvenient for you? Content creator Indy Clinton wants us to believe she's doing just that with her "Christmas baby" and Sagittarians everywhere have thoughts.

Plus, Sienna Miller is pregnant and in a negligee on the British Fashion Awards this week. At 43, Holly wants to know, is this the quintessential representation of the new era of agelessness? 

Also, Pilates is dead, strength training is on its way out and a mobility obsession is on its way in - but, Amelia asks, is scolding people with the "correct" exercise trends really the way to make women move?

And an essay about motherhood ambivalence has Jessie pufferfishing. So, if you're not sure if you want kids, should you do it?

Beer cans with the bride and groom's faces on them, a dress that just HAD to be Aussie, and a dog in a dress... Yes, we're talking about Albo's wedding, and the problem with marrying the Prime Minister. 

Also, what does the winner of the TikTok Awards — a dad of four who posts pranks and skits with his kids online — tell us about the different standards for the way men and woman 'sharent'?

And everyone's talking about an Oprah Winfrey show episode, which is extremely 2011, about family estrangement, and the 'contagion' of going 'No Contact' with your family. Only problem is... Are all these boundaries kind of Oprah's fault?

Plus, why Robert Irwin has achieved world domination by being... nice.

It’s hot and everyone’s slightly unhinged, so what better time to kick off the Mamamia Out Loud Summer Book Club than with the only novel bold enough to ask: What if you left your family for a  road trip and reinvented yourself... in a motel off the freeway?

In the first of our Summer Book Club episodes, Em, Jessie and Holly dive into Miranda July’s All Fours, a book that is part midlife crisis, part erotic fever dream and part existential stand-up comedy routine.

Em, Jessie and Holly discuss female desire, boredom, creativity and how it’s somehow both deeply relatable and utterly chaotic to want to start afresh on a whim.

If you’ve ever:

• Sat in your car for an five extra minutes just to avoid your family

• Fantasised about a new life in a different country

• Or simply wondered, 'What if?'

Then yes, this episode of Summer Book Club is for you.

Summer Book Club Episode 2 drops December 28 when we'll be discussing the Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.

📚 Outlouders, we know how many of you love these special episodes so... would you like us to keep the MMOL Book Club going? Let us know by emailing [email protected].

So. Everyone says your fiancée cheated on you with a big-wig politician (or two). After you break up, you're sitting on a whole lot of juicy, icky, sexy detail from messages and emails that you KNOW the world is going to be into. Do you release them? Well, of course you do. And welcome to the sex scandal that's consuming America right now - the Olivia Nuzzi affair. So, do YOU want to hear all about it? 

Also, what do real-life witches think of Wicked, For Good? 

And, women have never been hornier. At least, that's what our obsession with internet boyfriends, smutty books and libido-boosting supplements tells us. So Em, Holly and Jessie discuss: Is it power, or pressure? 

Plus, recommendations and Em's F1 obsession.

Would you partner notice if you 'quiet quit' your relationship? You know, quietly moving into separate bedrooms, watching all your own shows in different rooms of the house at night, never socialising together, taking separate holidays... Plenty of people are doing it, and probably always have. So, is it always a bad thing? And is it possible to un-quit?

Also, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and the world's most-irritating press tour. Yes, Wicked For Good is out and you will not have missed the two stars coo-ing over each other on global red carpets. Are they the world's greatest girlfriends, or are they playing us? And when did press tours become performance art? 

And... what are high school reunions for? It's long been predicted that social-media-stalking has killed the reunion, but Amelia just went to her 25th and she had a revelation. 

Plus, Jessie, Amelia and Holly share the 'plate' they take to BYO social events, and what "some cheese in a plastic bag" says about you.

So, the man who invented "vibe shifts" has announced another one. We're all living through it and it's why you're doing way more lurking and way less posting these days. 

And, a new profile of Meghan Duchess (or Duchess Meghan, if you insist) has attracted a whole lot of attention for a very specific social moment. But can the woman just do no right? 

Also, leggings are over but are we really exercising in wide-leg pants now? And where does that leave the camel toe? Asking for a friend (Jessie).  

Plus, Holly, Jessie and Amelia on the new pregnancy test that might just put an end to weeing-on-a-stick, what to wear on planes and what has Jessie got against tote bags?

She's had her childhood photo used in an "ugly" meme that's all over the Internet. So why isn't host Clare Stephens upset about this dissing of her younger self? 

Also: "You called me, you speak first". Does Gen Z really answer the phone with... nothing? 

And, just literally do things. That's the message here to challenge the recent cultural domination of the 'overthinking introvert'. In all kinds of areas of your life, is it always better to underthink, jump fast and have a bias to action, like our self-help overlord Mel Robbins? And why is it easier for some people than others? 

Plus, Holly's midlife tattoo. Crisis or confidence? And why LinkedIn is cutting Tinder's grass on the matchmaking front. 

All this unpacked and shaken upside down by Clare, Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright on today's Mamamia Out Loud.

Outlouders, is it true? Have Millennials officially killed the affair? And, are they actually more conservative than Gen X or are they just reimagining a more modern picture of what marriage looks like? Amelia and Jessie present a Millennial defence.

Plus, apparently eyelids are... over. So, what other silly things are people saying about women’s faces this week? We unpack the anti-cosmetic surgery essay every woman should read.

And, there's a state funeral going on today that made us wonder — what makes someone qualify for one and should taxpayers be footing the bill?

Also, we have a new skincare trend that's not for the faint of heart and we surprise Jessie for her 10-year work anniversary with Mamamia. And yes, Mia does invade the studio again with a little treat to celebrate. Happy anniversary, Jessie!
