Mamamia Out Loud

Outlouders, where's the craziest place you've ever had sex? We need to talk about the rise in people  having *ahem* private moments in public places. There's an interesting theory as to why which wait for it, involves the cost of living crisis. We clutch our pearls and explore.

Plus, what are the exact things men need to be doing in 2025 to be considered a gentleman? An extensive etiquette list for men has just landed — but is it common sense or controversial? Em V, Jessie and Holly sit down to discuss. 

Also, do you need an 'Invisible Day' and if so, how do you get one and what are the rules?

And it's time for our reccos including some incredible books for the (long) weekend, and a podcast that has Holly all riled up.

One of Australia's most iconic couples have called it quits. We are of course talking about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Holly sits down with Amelia and Jessie to unpack what we know and to decode what's fact, what's fiction and what's plain ol' scurrilous gossip.

Plus, when was the last time you changed your makeup routine? If it's been a hot minute, it's highly likely you're doing it all wrong. Amelia talks us through the latest TikTok tips that may turn everything you thought you knew about makeup upside down.

And, why everybody needs to climb 'Cringe Mountain' to get to the 'cool'. But why do some generations find it harder than others?

Australian singer Vanessa Amorosi has spoken about the very messy feud with her mum and the financial fallout that destroyed their relationship. But does it reveal more about the bizarre dynamics of child stars and their families? 

Also, Jessie has a question: if you’re going through something in your personal life, should you tell your workplace about it? How much do you REALLY want your boss to know? We have thoughts. 

Plus, it's 'Sit at the Bar September' and Amelia has a theory about why sitting and making eye contact with strangers IRL sound so unappealing to young people.

Victoria Beckham's about to release one. Charlie Sheen's got one. Even OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue has got one. It seems every celebrity and public figure is getting their own documentary right now. What's behind this sudden surge? We discuss the rise of the celebrity documentary phenomenon and share our theory as to why they're more popular than ever.

Plus, what do you do at night? It sounds like such a simple question, but the responses in the Outlouders Facebook group have us completely fascinated. From the wholesome to the wonderfully weird, your evening routines are everything.

And, our weekly recommendations are here — some trashy things to watch and some smart things to read, because balance is everything.

PSST Outlouders... Jessie also drops some absolutely massive personal news that has the entire studio shook. You do not want to miss our big announcement.

Welcome to Amelia Lester's original theory about your phone battery that makes PERFECT sense. It actually has nothing to do with your phone, and everything to do with naps. 

Also, an announcement from US President Donald Trump this week about pregnancy, autism and paracetamol has upset a lot of people. We discuss the impact on women, how medical experts in Australia have rejected the claims and the dangers of medical misinformation.

Plus, Dressing for work is BACK BABY but is your office attire appropriate and is your shoe-to-foot ratio correct? We explain.

You can read the TGA's statement on pregnancy and paracetamol here.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show was pulled off the air last week and there has been a LOT of conversation around it politically, morally, constitutionally - but what does it all mean? And should we be freaking out? We break down the controversy you've seen in your feed and what it means for comedy in 2025.

Plus, remember Ned Fulmer? The original 'Wife Guy'? Well, he's back from his social media exile with perhaps the most awkward interview ever, sitting down for a podcast interview with his ex-wife. If you've forgotten 'The Try Guys' cheating drama, Jessie is here to fill you in and tell you the latest in one of the biggest cheating scandals on the internet. 

And, do you ugly-cry on your birthday every year? Turns out you're not alone. We'll tell you why it's so common.

Picture this. You’re on a date or sitting in a job interview. Four minutes in, you know — this isn’t it. 

Do you cut your losses and walk, or sit there smiling politely for the next painful hour? Same with a conversation that's making you quietly die inside or reading a book that came highly recommended —do you carry on or quit? That, in essence, is the Lemon Law — and today, we’re breaking it down.

Also on the docket: tween beauty. Why are 12-year-olds taking over Sephora, and is their influence driving up prices across the industry? And if that is the case, could they please stop? Like, now? Amelia, Jessie, and Mia unpack the tween takeover and what it means for the future of our beauty treats.

And finally, our weekly recommendations: a book Amelia didn’t Lemon Law, an unhinged sheep story (from Mia, naturally), and the documentary Jessie couldn't stop watching.

Leave it to Donald Trump to redefine international etiquette — this time as a dibber-dobber. Threatening to tattle on a reporter to Australia's PM Anthony Albanese, Trump turned political theatrics into a cross-border spectacle. Mia, Jessie and Amelia investigate this most unAustralian of crimes on today's show. 

And, an update on Bruce Willis’ condition from his wife in her confronting new memoir that hits home for anyone touched by dementia. Jessie shares her personal experience and unpacks the backlash Emma Heming Willis is getting online for the decisions she's making on behalf of her celebrity husband.

Plus, a breast pump row. It may sound like something from another era — but it happened to Dr Elise Turner this week in Melbourne when the mum of twins was told to leave an airport lounge for daring to express milk for her babies. But there’s one crucial detail that most of us missed...

And, Births, Deaths & Marriages. Mia’s got a new segment and a lot to say. From celebrity babies to red carpet chaos, she’s tying it all together… loosely. Is it an excuse to (scurrilously) gossip about celebrities? Absolutely. Does she seamlessly segue into a controversial red carpet analysis? Of course she does. 

We also reveal the 17 household habits that will clear mental clutter as much as they will your kitchen bench tops. Light and shade, friends. Light and shade.
